Chapter 214: I’m going to feed you to my cat
“Yes, yes, yes, I’m acting, I’m a method actor, okay?”
Qi Huang shook her head helplessly, thinking why are you so stubborn? Isn’t a pie falling from the sky delicious?
“Did you hear that? She admitted it.”
Cheng Hong Ling said excitedly, but looking around, the high-level figures were unresponsive. They only cared about Cat’s Eye Tears, and it didn’t matter who was acting.
Although Cheng Hong Ling was full of unwillingness, the matter ended absurdly. She returned empty-handed, expecting to endure some sarcastic remarks. Instead, not only did she not, but she was inexplicably welcomed with a fanfare, and her status as the successor to the sect leader was confirmed.
After the initial confusion, Cheng Hong Ling’s emotions gradually calmed down. She felt it was an insult to her, so she grabbed her clone to settle the score.
“Tell me, where did you get those Cat’s Eye Tears?”
As soon as she stepped out of the main hall, Cheng Hong Ling attacked Qi Huang with mind transmission.
“I bought them, what else do you think? Yi (ling Yi 7 things Jiu Si Jiu Ba”
Qi Huang answered without thinking. The only good thing about her was that she always thought of an escape route when she was courting death.
“Who did you buy them from?”
Cheng Hong Ling continued her “interrogation.”
“I was buying something, not checking household registration, how would I know who he was? Do you need to ask the shopkeeper who he is when you buy something on the street?”
Qi Huang retorted logically.
“You…”
Cheng Hong Ling was about to retort, but she couldn’t find a reason for a long time, so she could only gnash her teeth unwillingly and say, “What you said makes so much sense.”
“Don’t worry, he has already promised me that he will provide me with dozens of bottles of Cat’s Eye Tears every month. If anyone in the sect wants to buy from you, you can just tell them to find me.”
Qi Huang appeased her.
“Dozens of bottles every month? Won’t this completely resolve the crisis of our HongHua Sect?”
Cheng Hong Ling asked incredulously.
“Yes, so you are the true hero of the HongHua Sect this time.”
Qi Huang flattered her.
“Don’t flatter me. I, Cheng Hong Ling, do not accept charity. Gaining something for nothing is an insult to me!”
Cheng Hong Ling said decisively.
“What do you mean by charity? Is there any difference between me getting it and you getting it? Or… you don’t regard me as a clone at all?”
Qi Huang asked a soul-searching question.
Cheng Hong Ling was stunned for a moment, and then her heart trembled: “Yes! Why was I so angry? She is my clone! Doesn’t it matter who found it?”
“Have I really never treated her as a clone from beginning to end? But why?”
For the first time, Cheng Hong Ling realized that she was a bit abnormal, so she began to seriously ponder this serious question.
After dealing with the main body, Qi Huang returned and began to implement her plan, but first, she needed manpower.
“Sister Yuan Jie, do you have any girlfriends who need a job?”
Qi Huang asked Yuan Jie.
“Yes! I don’t know what the Fairy needs, and what kind of person you need?”
Yuan Jie quickly replied, because it was not easy to find a job in the HongHua Sect.
“I want to open a grocery store. Experience in running a store would be best.”
Qi Huang introduced.
“I really know such a sister.”
Yuan Jie thought for a moment and slapped her forehead.
So, the next day, that sister was called over by Yuan Jie.
This was a girl named Tang Ping, similar in age to Yuan Jie. Because her appearance was average, her situation was also similar, and she was still unmarried.
“As expected, birds of a feather flock together.”
Qi Huang was very satisfied, and perhaps she could even facilitate two beautiful marriages.
With the manpower in place, Qi Huang found a small storefront in the HongHua Sect and named it “Ghost Tomato Acquisition Office.” Then, she posted a reward poster at the door, offering to buy Ghost Tomatoes at a price of one hundred taels of silver each, buying as many as possible.
After arranging everything, Qi Huang let Tang Ping take charge and instructed her to contact herself immediately if anyone came to sell.
Although Qi Huang opened the store very low-key, she was not worried at all. This matter would soon ferment.
As expected, although everyone knew that Ghost Tomatoes were hard to find, the high acquisition price still caused quite a stir, and many people began to move.
Qi Huang was very excited. She knew that with time, not only Yongning Prefecture, but even the entire Xihui Dynasty would know about this. She only needed to wait patiently, and then, no matter how hard Ghost Tomatoes were to find, people would keep delivering them.
However, after two days, the Ghost Tomatoes did not come, but the main body came first.
“Are you bored? You’ve become addicted to growing vegetables, haven’t you? That poisonous Ghost Tomato, others stay away from it, and you’re offering one hundred taels of silver for each, buying as many as possible. If you have too much money and nowhere to spend it, why not help the beggars on the street?”
Cheng Hong Ling accused her of everything.
“I am saving people, don’t you see?”
Qi Huang feigned ignorance and asked back.
“What do you mean? Do you remember I said that the ten or so seedlings in your greenhouse were my hostages? If you can’t explain it, I’ll tear them up immediately!”
Cheng Hong Ling threatened.
“Hostages again? Can’t you come up with something new?”
Qi Huang almost wept. Fortunately, she had already thought of a reason, so she said with tears: “Do you remember what happened in Bajiao Village? The villagers there were ruined by the Ghost Tomatoes. It’s still vivid in my memory, and I often have nightmares. So I made a firm decision that as long as I have money, I will eliminate all Ghost Tomatoes in the world. So my high-price acquisition is not out of boredom, but out of a desire to collect all the Ghost Tomatoes in the world to prevent ordinary people from being harmed again!”
As Qi Huang spoke, she was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn’t help but sigh that she was a genius for turning a private matter into a world event. In fact, she had also instructed Tang Ping this way: if anyone asked, she would say that their shopkeeper wanted to save the world. This would not only cover up her true purpose but also embellish herself. Why not?
Cheng Hong Ling was dumbfounded. After a long silence, she said with mixed emotions: “I think Mu Ruoyi should move aside, and the Saintess should be you!”
Thus, Qi Huang successfully fooled the main body. From then on, whenever someone asked about this matter, she would say that she was saving the world, which earned her a lot of praise!
“Before you save the world, consider how to save yourself first!”
That night, Yaoyao suddenly threatened.
“What’s wrong?”
Qi Huang asked foolishly.
“What’s wrong? Did you forget what you promised me? My sisters have been following you and eating the last meal without the next. It seems you really plan to feed them with your soul.”
Yaoyao reminded her sternly.
“Ah! I never intended to! I’ll find food for them right away.”
Qi Huang immediately started sweating profusely.
“Is that necessary? Aren’t you going to save the world? Isn’t sacrificing yourself to fulfill everyone else saving the world?”
Yaoyao said maliciously.
“Don’t be impulsive. If I die, where will you find such a good cat owner?”
Qi Huang anxiously persuaded.
“It’s okay, although good cat owners are rare, they can be found with some effort. It’s not your integrity!”
Yaoyao continued to threaten.
“No, no, no, I’ll find a way right away, okay!”
Qi Huang was so scared that her soul flew away, and she repeatedly begged for mercy.
…
Meanwhile, the outside world had exploded because Cheng Hong Ling had been deified in a battle at the Yuxiao Sect. The HuXiao Sect could no longer hide it, and all the powerful Immortal Sects in the entire Zihui Dynasty were restless, all wanting to poach this peerless genius.
The sect leader of the HuXiao Sect, Guo Chao, knew that the longer the delay, the more problems it would cause, so he decided to take a risky move!
The next morning, he summoned the more than ten high-level figures of the sect to the conference hall and began to formulate a plan.
“As you all know, the HongHua Sect in our Yongning Prefecture has produced a genius girl. At only fifteen or sixteen years old, she has reached the Huashen realm. Such talent is unprecedented in the Xihui Dynasty. If anyone obtains her, their entire sect will soar to the heavens.”
Guo Chao first introduced the situation.
“A Huashen realm expert at fifteen? What kind of monster is this? Our HuXiao Sect’s Immortal Seed Ranking… compared to her, it’s like a glow-worm’s light.”
“I know this girl. Her growth rate can only be described as terrifying. Four years ago, when she was only twelve years old, she entered the top sixty of the Xihui Dynasty’s Immortal Seed Ranking. Although she failed last year, it was due to the Immortal Alliance changing the rules. She almost single-handedly eliminated the HaiZhi Sect, the second-largest Immortal Sect in our Yongning Prefecture. She died standing.”
“We must find a way to poach such a genius into our HuXiao Sect.”
A group of high-level figures discussed it one after another.
“Yes, so I sent Elder Zhou to recruit her, but unfortunately, that little girl is determined to stay in the HongHua Sect. To avoid competition, he had to lie and suppress the matter. However, after the battle at the Yuxiao Sect, this matter can no longer be kept secret.”
Guo Chao revealed the current situation.
“So what if it can’t be kept secret? In Yongning Prefecture, who can compete with us?”
“Let alone Yongning Prefecture, with the relationship with Steward Cai of the Immortal Alliance, who in the entire Xihui Dynasty would dare to compete with me? Even the Donglai Sect would have to consider it!”
…
Several high-level figures said arrogantly.
“The Xihui Dynasty doesn’t have them, but other countries do. A Huashen realm expert at sixteen is enough to attract the attention of super sects in the major powers of Zhongzhou.”
Guo Chao reminded them.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the high-level figures changed. They also knew that some super sects in Zhongzhou did not even give face to the Immortal Alliance, and they were extremely terrifying.
“To avoid further complications, I have decided to take a risk. Since she is from Yongning Prefecture, as long as she is alive, she can only be a person of our HuXiao Sect.”
Guo Chao said with a resolute expression.
