Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 720: Chapter 77: Truly Sinister, Truly Cunning

I’ve seen arrogance before, but never arrogance combined with composure.

Because of Zhou Ziang’s words, Snow Valley became even colder. Little Pig burrowed back into Yezi’s embrace, muttering, "It’s so cold, it’s so cold, like a living iceberg."

Wang Fenglei was so angry that he saw stars in his eyes; he used to be hot-headed in his youth too, but after so many years spent on Changbai Mountain, he had managed to restrain his temper somewhat.

"Ziang, show respect. Senior Wang Fenglei is an esteemed elder from the Beijing Wang Family," Aisha, despite her jealousy towards Xiao Xian and Zhou Ziang for some unknown reasons, still spoke out to remind him, fearing that Wang Fenglei might lose his temper and lash out.

Hearing that Wang Fenglei was an elder of the Wang Family, Zhou Ziang took another look at him. Compared to the meticulous Wang Zhonghe, Wang Fenglei truly seemed like an atypical member of the Wang Family.

"Since you are from the Wang Family, you should follow the domestic rules. This ginseng spiritual vein is located within the territory of North Korea, not claimed by any nation. Let’s then follow the rule of the first discoverer, which grants ownership. The first to discover the spiritual vein was Senior Mei Nianmei behind me. She failed to claim the treasure and next were us. As for those who showed up later on," Zhou Ziang said, causing Wang Fenglei to frown slightly, this young man really knew how to argue his case.

"What you speak of is the practice for ordinary people. Since we all know each other’s background, let’s speak clearly. Cultivators should act according to a cultivator’s way, where strength is everything," Xu Lan Ya stirred the pot from the side, eagerly hoping to see Wang Fenglei teach Xiao Xian a lesson.

"Don’t misunderstand, we’ve been acquaintance with Senior Wang for several days, and he has taken good care of us, so we didn’t intend to monopolize the spiritual vein. We just wanted to rescue Master Mei, and as for this spiritual vein, I have no interest in it," Xiao Xian articulated the word "care" crisply and clearly. After speaking, she tugged at Zhou Ziang, moving away from the ginseng spiritual vein, making room for others.

Seeing her cooperative action, both Aisha and Xu Lan Ya were stunned, wondering if the girl had damaged her brain when she fell into the snow valley.

Zhou Ziang was also taken aback; after struggling hard to take the initiative, Xiao Xian had just given the vein away with a single statement.

Seeing Xiao Xian’s sincere answer and straightforward manner, Wang Fenglei felt it was respectable enough on his face, so he stepped forward to examine the situation around the ginseng spiritual vein.

Yezi watched from the side, his mouth twitching suspiciously.

The expression on Xiao Xian’s face when she spoke was particularly familiar. It reminded him of the time she debated with the nasty woman from the Qian Duoduo family.

Did the Qian Duoduo family end up well? Certainly not.

Because of the conversation with the couple from Feng Xing, Yezi had spent some time with Huang Tengchong and others, and his impression of city dwellers was not very good. He had also worried that Xiao Xian might become like those people, but looking at her today, she was still the same Zhu Xiaoxian.

While they were speaking, the spiritual energy-emitting ginseng underwent a change. The purple-white flowers turned deep purple and gradually wilted.

Zhou Ziang took the opportunity to whisper to Xiao Xian, "You don’t know the function of the spiritual vein, do you?"

Xiao Xian chuckled. She hadn’t known before, but just by observing the reactions of several people present, she could guess some of it.

She remembered that before her breakthrough to the Silver-grade Space, Zhou Ziang had mentioned that there were several places in the country particularly suitable for cultivation, one of which was Changbai Mountain. Whether Changbai Mountain was rich in spiritual energy, she didn’t know.

All she knew was after seeing this rare top-grade ginseng, the sugarcane seedling in her space started to stir.

In the past nearly a year, the sugarcane seedling had always sported a flower bud twice the size of its body regardless of whether Xiao Xian’s cultivation level had improved, it neither grew larger nor bloomed.

But just today, after falling into the Snow Valley, it showed some reactions.

Although weak, Xiao Xian felt it. The sugarcane seedling was absorbing spiritual energy, the spiritual energy that had vanished after she fell into the valley. Under the effects of the sugarcane seedling, her body began to warm up, and the frozen joints and bruises from her fall were healing.

She needed to wait, as Zhu Shijun had taught her, haste makes waste; she had to see how things unfolded.

If Wang Fenglei could figure out a way to obtain this ginseng, it would also mean the rescue of Mei Nian, saving a lot of trouble.
