793 Slurp Little Gu, Domineering Wanwan
Yu Wan was only a step slower. When she came out, Steward Yue’s head had exploded by her husband.
The dumbfounded Yu Wan : “…”
Yu Wan hugged her nephew with one hand and covered his eyes with the other. Was his habit of killing people without a word okay? Indeed, not only did he possess the Ghost King’s strength and memories, but he also had the Ghost King’s habits.
This guy was already invincible with his brain. Now that he had martial arts… he was going to ascend to heaven!!!
Forget it, this steward is not a good person. It’s not a pity that he died since he helped the wicked. It’s just that… this is not the old clan. Can we keep a low profile?
“Heh.” Yan Jiuchao gave Yu Wan an extremely arrogant look, as if to say, Let me keep a low profile. In my next life!
Then, Yan Jiuchao strode into the house. The moment he crossed the threshold, he did not turn around. With a flick of his sleeve, all the guards who were stunned on the spot tilted their heads and fell.
“…” Yu Wan was originally here to reason, but she was enamored by this series of actions. Her face turned red and she could not say a word.
Yu Wan followed her husband shyly.
Madam Lan did not expect her grandson-in-law to be so powerful. He did not even take the steward of the Lan family seriously and killed him just like that. This courage was worthy of the descendants of the Lan family.
Yan Jiuchao entered the house, kicked on his dirty shoes, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief. He said slowly, “In the future, stay away from that kind of guy. Don’t you know how to call for help if you can’t win?”
Yu Wan pursed her lips. “Who said I can’t win? Didn’t you suddenly come?” She thought of something and smiled awkwardly. She carried her nephew over and gestured for him to look at the little boy in his swaddling. “Is he cute?”
Yan Jiuchao looked disgusted. “It’s so ugly!”
Her nephew was already asleep. He probably couldn’t hear his uncle’s poisonous tongue. Yu Wan looked down at the fair little fellow and muttered, “He’s quite good-looking.”
Although he was also a little wrinkled, he was not dark or thin. He was fair and fat. He clenched his fists tightly and raised them above his head. He was clearly extremely cute, okay?
“Mom, mom, my pants fell off.” Xiaobao walked in with his pants up.
Alright, her sons were still cuter.
Yu Wan stuffed her nephew into Yan Jiuchao’s arms. Yan Jiuchao couldn’t dodge in time and stiffly hugged the little fellow. The little fellow suddenly woke up and looked at him without blinking with wide innocent eyes.
Yan Jiuchao glared back at him.
“Pfft—” The little fellow blew a milk bubble at Yan Jiuchao.
Yan Jiuchao, who felt that the Ghost King’s authority had been provoked: “…!!”
…
Steward Yue had died at their hands. It did not take long for the Lan family to guess this. Instead of waiting for the Lan family to come looking for them, it was better for them to look for them.
After packing their luggage, the group boarded the carriage into the city. When the guard guarding the city saw that it was Shadow Thirteen, he frowned. “What is it this time?”
Shadow Thirteen showed the waist token he had pulled off Steward Yue and said coldly, “Can we enter the city now?”
The guard’s eyes flashed. Just now, the steward of the Lan Manor had left the manor. He must have been discussing this with this group of people. Could it be that this waist token was given to them by the steward of the Lan Manor? Even if the guard had a hundred guts, he would not dare to guess that this group of people had directly snatched it. After all, in the entire Nether Capital, there were not many people who dared to touch the Lan Manor and the Saintess.
The guard immediately let them in.
The group successfully entered the city. After entering the city, the group first deposited a few large boxes of gold and silver into the bank, exchanged them for gold notes and banknotes, and set off.
Shadow Six drove the carriage and turned around. “Granny Lan, it’s getting late. Should we find a place to settle down first and make plans tomorrow?”
Madam Lan lifted the curtain and looked at the street that she was no longer familiar with. She nodded. “Okay.”
Even after Yan Jiuchao became the Ghost King, he did not change his habit of being picky. He was not used to staying in an inn, so the group found an elegant and unique house in the east of the city to stay in.
Ah Wei and the others were busy unpacking their luggage. The three little munchkins were craving candied hawthorn again. Yu Wan led them to the streets to buy it.
When they entered the city, Yu Wan fell asleep in the carriage. Only then did she truly experience the scenery of the Nether Capital.
The Nether Capital was prosperous. The streets and buildings were similar to the Capital of Nanzhao, but they were more mysterious than the Capital. Yu Wan walked on the endless streets, and the three little fellows jumped and followed beside her. Asura walked last.
From time to time, they would brush past Gu Masters and Gu Ladies. They even met a few Gu Venerables.
Yu Wan finally felt the power of the Nether Capital.
With Gu Venerable’s strength, it was not difficult for him to sense her pure yin blood. They looked at her greedily, but they did not dare to advance because of the Asura King’s aura. They walked for two streets and did not find anyone selling candied hawthorn. Instead, they saw a family of Fuyuanzi.
The little munchkins slurped up. Yu Wan brought them and Asura to sit down at a stall by the roadside. Coincidentally, there were people selling candy and fruits opposite. Yu Wan decided to buy ingredients and go back to make her own candied hawthorn.
“You guys eat first. I’ll go buy something.” Yu Wan left Asura and her three sons behind and went to the shop opposite.
The shops in the Nether Capital were different from the Great Zhou in Nanzhao. Yu Wan originally thought that this was a shop that sold rice and food and could buy candy along the way, but who knew that it was a shop that sold Gu. There were all kinds of Hundred Gu King, and there were dozens of Thousand Gu Kings. The business was very good. However, ever since Yu Wan walked into the shop, the Gu worms here had lost their liveliness.
“Your Gu King is already dead, and you still have the cheek to sell it to me?” A Gu Master unceremoniously threw a Thousand Gu King back into the jade bottle.
The shop assistant picked up the jade bottle. “No, it was fine just now. Hey… Hey! Don’t go!”
The Gu Master left angrily.
Yu Wan rubbed her nose resentfully. Then, a few Gu Masters realized that the Gu worm’s lifespan was not high and shook their heads before leaving.
The shop assistant scratched his head strangely. “What’s wrong?”
“Ahem!” Yu Wan cleared her throat.
The shop assistant noticed that there was still a persistent guest here. He hurriedly put on a smile and greeted, “Madam, are you also here to choose the Gu King?”
The people of the Nether Capital liked Gu, and not only Gu Masters would come to buy them.
Yu Wan opened the folding fan in her hand and fanned it with her eyebrows. “The Gu King here doesn’t seem to be very energetic. Don’t tell me he’s about to die?”
The shop assistant said embarrassedly, “Look at what you’re saying, Madam. We open our doors to do business based on integrity. How can we sell a dying Gu worm to a guest? Do you want the Hundred Gu King or the Thousand Gu King? I’ll sell it to you at a cheap price!”
“I want—” When Yu Wan’s eyes flashed across the jars of the Thousand Gu Kings, she clearly felt the excitement of the little Gu worm.
I want them all!
Yu Wan had only found out not long ago that her little Gu was only a young Gu now. It needed a lot of nutrition. Although the Gu Empress was not a young Gu anymore, it still needed to eat, right? Otherwise, what if the medicine was not effective enough after it starved and lost weight?
“The Thousand Gu King is here?” Yu Wan asked indifferently.
“They’re all there, they’re all there!” The shop assistant said. “Which one do you want?”
“How much is this?” Yu Wan pointed at a colorful phoenix jar.
The shop assistant smiled and said, “Madam, you have a good eye. This is the best Thousand Gu King we can sell in our shop. We’re closing today. I’ll sell it to you at a cheap price of a hundred taels!”
“A-a hundred taels?” Yu Wan suspected that she had heard wrongly. “A mere worm is worth a hundred taels! Why don’t you go rob—”
“…Gold,” the shop assistant said with a smile.
Yu Wan was petrified.
“What about… this?” She pointed to the jade jar.
The shop assistant laughed dryly and said, “This is also the Thousand Gu King. It’s even more poisonous than the previous one. It can be used as medicine and has a miraculous effect on removal of rheumatism. It can also be used to increase internal energy. I’ll sell it to you at a cheap price of two hundred taels.”
Little Gu: Buy, buy, buy!
Shut up! Yu Wan closed her eyes and smiled without batting an eyelid. “What about the one beside me?”
The shop assistant smiled. “Five hundred taels.”
Yu Wan staggered! Even if her family had a mine, they could not afford to squander it like this!
Little Gu: Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy!
Yu Wan bit her lip and rolled her eyes. She covered her lips with her folding fan and whispered to the shop assistant, “If he dies, can it be half price?”
The shop assistant: “?!”
Fifteen minutes later, Yu Wan left the shop with a large number of bottles and jars. Her face was ashen. She tortured the Gu Kings until they were half dead. In the end, not a single cent was discounted. She had wasted her time!
Yu Wan angrily went to buy candy. Just as she left the shop, a carriage stopped by the street and a pair of luxuriously dressed women alighted.
The two of them entered the shop.
The shop assistant was dozens of times more enthusiastic and excitedly welcomed the two of them in.
Yu Wan stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at the shop assistant whose expression had changed like he was flipping through a book. She snorted and was about to leave when she suddenly felt the little Gu worm become restless again.
Yu Wan said fiercely, “Isn’t this enough for you?”
The little Gu became even more agitated.
Yu Wan paused and walked back to the shop. She saw that the shop assistant who had said that all the Thousand Gu Kings had been displayed had summoned another Gu King from somewhere. Even though Yu Wan was not a Gu Master, she could feel the power of that Gu King.
Yu Wan’s mind was filled with the sound of the little Gu slurping.
Just as the shop assistant was about to hand the Gu King to that Madam, Yu Wan raised her chin and walked over. She grabbed his wrist. “Didn’t you say that there’s no more Thousand Gu King? Where did this come from?”
When the shop assistant saw that it was her, he was stunned. “This…”
“I’ll take it,” Yu Wan said.
The shop assistant reminded softly, “She’s the Lan family’s holy envoy, the Saintess’s trusted aide…”
Yu Wan glanced at the box of goods that the shop assistant took out. She looked at the holy envoy and said without restraint, “I want them all.”
