"Young Master Ye, this ti, it might really be true. Many of us in Xiangxi have gone to see it. The appearance of that girl is no different from the legendary Luohua Cave Girl. According to the legend, Luohua Cave Girl can only live a few years, and the only way to save her is to find a man to marry her. Only a happy marriage can save the Luohua Cave Girl. But because of the legend that Luohua Cave Girl is a woman blessed by the Divine, no one dares to marry her. That girl has been the Luohua Cave Girl for a year now. Previously, she was not of marriageable age, but this year, she’s reached the legal age for marriage. Her parents are preparing to have her marry as soon as possible this year. Although many people are afraid to marry the Luohua Cave Girl because of the legend, there are still many who want to marry her. The people in the Five Major Families of Xiangxi are actually all interested in the Luohua Cave Girl. Tomorrow night, the Luohua Cave Girl and her parents will co to Lihuang City. At that ti, the unmarried juniors of our Five Major Families in Xiangxi will have fair competition. Young Master Ye, if you have ti tomorrow night, you can co and take a look."
Liao Chaoshan said.
"Since I’m here, I might as well go and see." Ye Tian did not refuse. With Liao Chaoshan speaking so convincingly, Ye Tian happened to have ti, so it would be no problem to go and see. If this Luohua Cave Girl really exists, wouldn’t Xiangxi beco interesting?
Earth is more mysterious than Ye Tian imagined.
Seeing Ye Tian agree, Liao Chaoshan was overjoyed.
Liao Chaoshan is very clever. Now that the Black Witch Clan is gone, his backing is gone too, so he must find a new backing. Ye Tian is his new backing, so naturally, he must try his best to please him. Only by serving Ye Tian well can their Liao Family survive in the world.
After having dinner at the hot spring resort, Ye Tian left directly for the East Street Night Market.
As night fell, nightlife was just beginning. Lihuang City is also quite a famous tourist spot, attracting many visitors. The East Street Night Market is a street full of snacks. At night, it gets very lively here.
Ye Tian was wandering alone on East Street when he finally saw Cheng Xue i busy at a stall. Cheng Xue i’s stall mainly did barbecue. Although Cheng Xue i looked a bit weathered, she had a foundation and was quite famous on East Street. Everyone called her the Xi Shi of East Street Stalls. Many n liked to patronize her business and joke with her. In recent days, with Cheng Guo helping, business at Cheng Xue i’s stall improved.
Cheng Guo, pure and pretty, walking down the street, would draw second glances from n, making her even more conspicuous in this night market.
Cheng Guo mingled among these custors, acting as a waitress. Many of the custors were out-of-town visitors, who looked at her a few tis but without malicious intent.
But not everyone in this world is good.
"Watch where you’re going, move aside."
Suddenly, soone shouted behind Ye Tian. He turned around to see a burly man wearing a gold chain, surrounded by a few hooligans, walking over. The night market was already crowded, and these people pushed aside pedestrians rudely, acting high and mighty.
Many pushed aside pedestrians got angry, but seeing these people with tattoos behaving domineeringly, they did not dare make a sound.
"Who is that?"
Many out-of-town tourists couldn’t help but ask softly.
"You can tell you’re not from around here. That man is called Cheng Kai. He’s a tyrant in our Lihuang City. You’d better not provoke him," a local advised kindly.
"So arrogant, do they really think they own the street?" a young man said indignantly.
"Shh, don’t talk recklessly. Words can bring trouble. Behind Cheng Kai is the Cheng Family, one of the Five Major Families in Xiangxi. They’re used to being arrogant, just get used to it," soone quickly said.
Ye Tian was not interested in these hooligans and was too lazy to argue with them in public to avoid causing a sensation.
Ye Tian sidestepped, standing aside.
Cheng Kai and his gang approached Cheng Xue i’s stall. Seeing Cheng Kai, Cheng Xue i imdiately greeted him courteously, "Brother Kai."
Although both Cheng Kai and Cheng Xue i had the surna Cheng, their statuses within the Cheng Family of Xiangxi were completely different.
The Cheng village where Cheng Xue i resided was only an outer branch of the Xiangxi Cheng Family. But Cheng Kai was different; he was part of the Inner Clan of the Cheng Family. The Family Head, Old Sir Cheng, was his grandfather’s brother, and he had to call him granduncle.
When Cheng Kai was young, he learned boxing and free fighting, fought fiercely, and often caused trouble in Lihuang City. Because the Cheng Family backed him up, no one could do anything about it.
Cheng Kai glanced at Cheng Xue i, then went to a table to sit down. Cheng Guo did not know Cheng Kai. Although these people obviously weren’t good, she enthusiastically ran over with a nu to ask what they wanted to eat.
Seeing Cheng Guo, Cheng Kai’s eyes clearly lit up. He smiled at Cheng Xue i, "I heard a little beauty ca to your place recently. It should be her, right? She’s indeed good-looking. What’s she to you?"
Hearing Cheng Kai’s words, Cheng Xue i’s smile montarily froze, then she quickly smiled awkwardly, "Brother Kai, she’s my niece, just fourteen years old. She just graduated junior high this year and is currently on sumr vacation, coming to the city to have fun."
Cheng Xue i knew Cheng Kai’s character; many won he fancied were eventually coerced or tempted into bed. His visit today was undoubtedly to make a move on Cheng Guo. Cheng Xue i cleverly decided that if she claid Cheng Guo was still underage, Cheng Kai wouldn’t dare do anything.
Sure enough, hearing Cheng Xue i’s words, Cheng Kai’s face slightly darkened as he looked at Cheng Guo again.
"Your niece is only fourteen? I don’t believe it," Cheng Kai said flatly.
"Brother Kai, she really is only fourteen," Cheng Xue i confird, quickly stepping forward to protect Cheng Guo by placing her behind her.
"What are you doing? I won’t eat her. Show her ID card," Cheng Kai said.
"She, she didn’t bring her ID card," Cheng Xue i said.
Cheng Kai stared at Cheng Xue i. Seeing her slightly flustered expression, he imdiately understood.
"Cheng Xue i, you should know well. I hate being lied to. If I find out you’re deceiving , you won’t be able to set up your stall on this street anymore," Cheng Kai said coldly.
Cheng Xue i froze, not daring to speak further. This stall was her only livelihood. Although exhausting, the inco was considerable. Losing this job would be a devastating blow, especially as her parents spent a lot on dication each month.
"My aunt rembered wrong. I actually graduated high school this year and am already eighteen," Cheng Guo, being sensible, did not want to implicate Cheng Xue i and quickly stepped up to say.
