Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 18: Buying Your Wife
"Luo Chang?!"
Upon hearing this na, Jiang Fan squinted his eyes. He didn't know this person before.
But recently, the na Luo Chang has beco quite notorious.
The saying goes, good news doesn't leave the door, but bad news spreads far.
This person's reputation is as foul as a latrine.
As he looked closely, he saw that Luo Chang was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a sharp nose and a monkey-like face, very sleazy. His build was dium, but he looked hollowed out from wine and won, it wouldn't be surprising if he died at any ti.
"So it's Lord Luo, it's an honor to finally et you. I wonder, what business do you have with ?"
Jiang Fan spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
However, Luo Chang appeared arrogant, his nostrils flaring upwards, showing no intention to speak with Jiang Fan.
He simply gave Guo Mazi a look.
Guo Mazi imdiately understood, like a lackey he quickly ran up, and whispered to Jiang Fan, "Xiaojiang, don't you have a child bride? It's said she's quite pretty. Bring her over for Lord Luo to take a look. If he likes her, Lord Luo could give you ten taels of silver to buy her completely."
"This is a great opportunity to make a fortune. If you miss this village, there won't be such a shop."
What?!
At these words, Jiang Fan's heart was filled with a terrifying murderous intent. He almost couldn't control himself from slapping Guo Mazi to death.
Previously, this Guo Mazi coveted his Upturned Boat and sched against him in many ways.
He thought Guo Mazi had already taken the hint and backed off.
Who would've thought that this guy found so channel, currying favor with Dragon King Gang's Luo Chang.
Even wanting to use his wife to flatter Luo Chang.
It seems kindness is taken as a weakness by others.
This Guo Mazi really thinks he has no anger?
He already regarded Guo Mazi as a dead man, but on the surface, he remained calm.
"What's wrong Xiaojiang, could it be you're unwilling?"
"Do you know who this is, Lord Luo?"
"Lord Luo is willing to give you money to buy your child bride, that's giving you face."
"If you're ungrateful, then don't bla us for being rude."
"At that ti, you won't have any money or a woman."
"Weigh it yourself."
Guo Mazi said fiercely, like a vicious lackey.
After all, with Luo Chang backing him, crushing a small fisherman was as easy as pinching an ant, right?
If this guy wouldn't sell him the Upturned Boat, then let him taste his might.
And that would be the consequence of offending Guo Mazi.
"Oh, what if I refuse, will you kill ?"
Jiang Fan looked at the group indifferently.
He didn't care any longer; if they dared to make a move, he would strike and kill them all.
Even if he offended Dragon King Gang, the world is big, where couldn't he hide?
In the worst case, he could beco an outlaw.
Then he would lead a large-scale Righteous Army to wipe out Dragon King Gang entirely, annihilate them completely.
This group attempted to intimidate him, they must have lost their minds.
"What?!"
Hearing this, Guo Mazi was both shocked and angry. He didn't expect his words wouldn't scare Jiang Fan, and instead, Jiang Fan had the audacity to talk back. He felt he had lost face in front of Lord Luo.
If he couldn't even control a small fisherman, how would he hold any position in front of Lord Luo in the future?
"Alright."
At this mont, Luo Chang suddenly spoke, "I'm a decent man, I never resort to forcing the good into prostitution. It's all about mutual consent. If you're unwilling, then I won't force you."
"However, this offer stands. If you ever change your mind, you can co back to make a deal with ."
He showed a kindly expression, seemingly not planning to argue with Jiang Fan.
"This."
Guo Mazi was dumbfounded. It was the first ti seeing Luo Chang with such a kind deanor, totally unlike the person he knew—when did Lord Luo change his ways?!
But there must be a reason for Lord Luo's words.
As a long-ti lackey, he would never defy his master's words face to face.
Whatever the master says is correct, it cannot be questioned.
He looked around, and at so point, a group of fishern surrounded them, pointing and talking.
He then realized Lord Luo's concerns.
Probably, Lord Luo didn't want to cause trouble in front of a crowd.
"No need, I won't sell."
Jiang Fan had no intention of giving face, he just looked at Luo Chang indifferently.
"Hmph."
Luo Chang didn't expect the other party to be so unapologetic, his smile imdiately faded.
But looking at the surrounding fishern, he didn't say much more.
He waved his hand and left quickly with his n.
"Thank you, uncles, for your help."
Jiang Fan gratefully addressed the surrounding fishern.
He knew clearly that if it weren't for these fishern surrounding them, Luo Chang probably wouldn't have backed off so easily.
"No need to thank us, we didn't really help much."
"Yeah, we were just watching the commotion."
"But they say Luo Chang holds grudges, be careful."
Many fishern spoke up.
But their faces were filled with concern, although they were powerless.
"Thank you, uncles, I understand this matter."
Jiang Fan's eyes showed a cold glint. Holds grudges? These people have no future left.
So there's no need to worry about retaliation.
........
Not long after, Luo Chang and his n had left Osmanthus Village.
"Lord Luo, I'm sorry, really sorry."
"I didn't expect that Jiang Fan to be so ungrateful, not giving you, Lord Luo, face."
"I'm truly deserving of death."
Guo Mazi knelt on the ground, crying and begging for forgiveness.
"Stand up, this can't be blad on you."
"Just a lowly fisherman, yet he dares not give face."
"I wasn't interested in that woman initially."
"But now, I want to destroy that boy's family."
Luo Chang's face turned ferocious, like a demon.
"But Lord Luo, why didn't you act just now, and instead let that guy off?"
Guo Mazi quickly stood up, confused about Luo Chang's previous action.
"Foolish, recently I've already caused my father enough trouble, I can't stir more trouble now."
"Although my father is indeed an elder of the Dragon King Gang, he's not the only elder."
"If I continue causing trouble, my father could be impeached and removed."
"Without a backing, how could I remain so comfortable, so I must endure a bit."
Luo Chang said indifferently.
"I see now."
Guo Mazi suddenly realized, no wonder Lord Luo seed different.
"But although we can't act openly, we can do so secretly."
"Isn't that brat arrogant?"
"Tomorrow, I'll send a group to Yunng Lake, cripple him."
"I want him kneeling before , apologizing, even offering his own woman to ."
"We'll see who dares oppose in Osmanthus Village then."
Luo Chang said murderously.
Hearing this, Guo Mazi trembled inside. Luo Chang's thods were even more ruthless than imagined. Thankfully, he was on Luo Chang's side, otherwise, he would be done for.
"Enough, stop wasting ti."
"Let's return to the Fish Cage for entertainnt."
Luo Chang waved grandly.
The so-called Fish Cage was more than just a market.
In so sense, it was a small gathering place.
Various fish, as well as daily necessities like rice and oil, and vegetables were sold inside.
It was also a base for the Dragon King Gang.
Buildings were constructed in the Fish Cage for Dragon King Gang mbers to reside.
So, if Dragon King Gang mbers couldn't return to Tonghe County, they would revel in the Fish Cage.
