Brother-in-law, aren't you going to take care of that Helian Honggang? "
Only the Silver Thunder Nine Diagrams dared to reflect this situation to Xiao Hei. However, it was useless. Xiao Hei had no concept of money at all. This time, Chen Tianlei stayed out of the matter. He didn't ask at all. Because he knew that it was useless even if he asked.
"Aiya, it's fine. It's just a matter of money. When brother Du comes back, everything will be settled. "
Xiao Hei was doing well in the Holy City at the moment. He was being praised like the moon surrounded by stars all day long, and he was indeed a little inflated. Moreover, they had a big business, and it wasn't that they didn't have some money. Besides, the Silver Thunder Nine Diagrams were mainly managing the accounts. What was there to complain about? If Helian Honggang wanted to intervene, he could just give him some money and send him away.
Xiao Hei believed that the situation this time was different from the last time. Last time, he was asleep, and brother Du wasn't there. The two partners and a few guards had deceived Chen Tianlei and the others.
This time, he was awake, and the people involved in the business were all his relatives. There wouldn't be any problems. Therefore, he felt that the Silver Thunder Nine Diagrams were making a mountain out of a molehill. It was nothing more than two brothers-in-law being jealous of each other. It wasn't a big deal.
When the Silver Thunder Nine Diagrams saw Xiao Hei's attitude, he could only shake his head helplessly. He wanted to contact Du Feng several times with the Voice Transmission Talisman and explain the matter clearly, but he couldn't get in touch. At this time, Du Feng was very far away from them. They weren't in the same universe at all. No matter how powerful the Voice Transmission Talisman was, it wouldn't be of any use.
Time passed day by day, and Xiao Hei continued to live a life of debauchery. He was a divine beast, not a human, and what he liked the most was to enjoy. Moreover, his physique was special. The more he ate and slept, the faster his strength improved.
As time passed, many people who wanted to persuade him stopped. Because everyone realized that Xiao Hei's eating, drinking, and having fun did not affect his Cultivation at all. Previously, he had just advanced to the peak of the Ninth Level Divine Emperor Realm, but now, he was already at the level of an experienced Divine Emperor. Even the patriarchs of many families were polite to him.
Because of Xiao Hei's improvement in strength, the shop's business became even more prosperous. In addition, with the supply from the Zhuang Family, we naturally earned a lot of money. Although the people of the Helian Family were making money, and some of the people of the Silver Thunder Family weren't idle either, the business was still running, and nothing major happened.
At first, Silver Thunder Jiutu really wanted to reason with Xiao Hei. However, as time passed, he realized that there was no way to reason with Xiao Hei because Xiao Hei did not understand. Thus, he tried his best to get the Silver Thunder Family's people in Sea City to move to the Holy City's border. At the very least, they could not lose to the Helian Clan in terms of numbers.
As the two families pushed more and more people in, the expenses naturally increased. The shop that Du Feng opened was limited. Back when it was only him and his brothers, the money was more than enough. There was always a lot left, which could be used to buy materials and elixirs. However, most of the money was used to support the family.
Zhuang Jiutu reminded Xiao Hei both openly and secretly, but Xiao Hei did not listen at all. Things became a little bad. Zhuang Jiutu also wanted to contact Du Feng, but he could not get in touch with him. Thus, he could only use his authority to secretly make some adjustments.
After all, he was an acquaintance of Du Feng. Some of the things he did could not be criticized, and most people could not understand. Even if Silver Thunder Jiutu understood, he did not say anything. He knew that Zhuang Jiutu was leaving a way out. In case he could not hold on any longer, he could leave some capital for Du Feng to make a comeback.
Du Feng had no idea what was going on here. He was currently busy in Jade Dragon Village in Coiling Dragon Realm. What was he busy for? Naturally, it was to harvest the spirit grain.
A farming season had passed, and it was finally time to harvest. Looking at the heavy ears of wheat, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. The increase in spirit grain this time would definitely be more than thirty percent. As long as the bearded man kept his word, he would definitely teach him the new cultivation method.
There was another thing that made him very happy. After this period of cultivation, he was about to break through to the next level. He felt that he was already at the edge of Level One Transformation and was just one step away from it. He might as well eat a few more bowls of rice after the spirit grain was harvested, and strike while the iron was hot.
"Nephew, it's all thanks to you."
"That's right. Our young friend Du is really our village's savior."
Uncle Li, Old Wang, Old Liu, and the other villagers were all grinning from ear to ear. They were naturally happy to see the harvest of spirit grain. Jade Dragon Village's spirit grain had always been evenly distributed, except for the portion that had to be handed over to the public. This year's harvest was huge. After deducting the portion that had to be handed over to the public, everyone could finally eat their fill.
"Everyone, don't be in such a hurry to eat. Why don't we have the deputy village chief take the spirit grain to Art Dragon Village in exchange for a few girls?"
Uncle Li was the first to bring up this matter. He and Auntie Zhang could work together, but there were still plenty of old bachelors in the village. For example, Old Wang and Old Liu were both old bachelors. Without young women in the village, it would be difficult for them to reproduce.
"Yes, yes, yes. Old Li is right. Let's gather some spirit grain."
Old Wang, Old Liu, and the other bachelors all agreed with this idea. Of course, they could eat the extra spirit grain, but it would only make them grow a little more meat. If they gathered the extra spirit grain each person received, they could indeed go to Art Dragon Village in exchange for some young female villagers. As long as they were given food, they would be willing to come. Of course, the prerequisite was that their parents had to be given some spirit grain.
Sigh! Du Feng shook his head and sighed helplessly. How was this any different from selling their children in the impoverished areas of the lower realm? One was exchanged with money, while the other was exchanged with spirit grain. There wasn't much difference between the two.
Of course, there was still a slight difference. The female villagers wouldn't be forced to marry the old bachelors of Jade Dragon Village. They would simply be transferred from Art Dragon Village to Jade Dragon Village. They would live here, farm here, and harvest spirit grain here to eat. If they felt like they were doing well and could eat their fill, they could continue to stay. If they felt that things weren't as good as before, they could go back.
In this sense, they were better off than those who sold their daughters and wives.
Just as everyone was discussing this, the bearded man appeared. He didn't hesitate to accept the spiritual food that everyone handed over, and then waved at them.
"Come with me!"
When Du Feng saw the bearded man calling for him, he thought he was going to teach him a new cultivation method, so he obediently followed. However, after following them, he realized that something wasn't right. They were walking in the wrong direction. If he wanted to teach a new cultivation method, he could have just found a spacious place in the village. If he was afraid of being seen, he could have just taught it in the house. Why did he have to walk out of the village?
