The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 69 - Rumors in Fangshi The Minor God of Wealth

Xie Ying was different from her.

Lord Ziyang was the source of Xie Ying’s confidence.

In her previous life, Lord Ziyang had never let Xie Ying suffer a loss, and it was likely to be the same in this life. Also, Xie Jiujiu knew that Xie Ying was very greedy.

Good things always came in but never went out.

The young prodigies who presented Xie Ying with valuable items might receive, in return, a moved expression from her as she personally cooked some snacks as a reciprocation.

Oh, it’s the thought that counts.

Xie Ying was most adept at this.

Such a person would never suffer a loss; it would only be those trying to please her who would be unlucky.

Thinking of those prodigies giving away heaps of precious items, only to receive a few boxes of snacks from Xie Ying in return…

Xie Jiujiu felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.

After waving goodbye to Xie Ying, Xie Jiujiu left the small courtyard and saw Xie Siniang and Xie Haoran talking in front of the waterfall.

Xie Haoran was a disciple of Fafeng, with a Cultivation Base at the mid Foundation Establishment stage, and was explaining some cultivation issues to Xie Siniang.

“Xiaojiu, do you have a moment to talk?” Xie Haoran, seeing Xie Jiujiu wanting to leave, promptly called out to her.

Xie Jiujiu stopped in her tracks and asked, “What would Eldest Brother like to discuss?”

“There are rumors in the Sect that you deceive with fakes…”

“Stop!”

Xie Jiujiu cut off Xie Haoran’s words. “Have you seen anyone who’s bought something from me come to trouble me? None of them said I had deceived them. Why are you outsiders making up stories?”

Xie Siniang immediately supported her, “Exactly! Eldest Brother, Jiumei does business with everything upfront—no one is forced to buy.”

Xie Jiujiu smiled and nodded, “That’s right! I haven’t forced anyone, nor do I have the power to force anyone to buy. Everyone trades willingly. Especially Uncle Lin Wangchen from the Inner Sect. I mentioned several times that the Small Jade Bottle wasn’t valuable, yet he insisted on buying it. What could I do? Just sell it, of course.”

“Exactly, it’d be foolish not to earn money when you can,” Xie Siniang chimed in again after her.

Xie Jiujiu was liking her fourth sister more and more—beautiful in spirit and open-hearted, and always speaking the blunt truth.

Xie Haoran was left speechless by the sisters’ back-and-forth banter. He simply felt that Xiaojiu was too brazen and worried that she might get into trouble or attract danger, out of good intentions.

But it appeared that he was being presumptuous.

Not only did Xiaojiu show resistance towards him and his sister, but Xiaosi felt the same way about them. Even other members of the family, though polite on the surface, maintained a certain distance.

Xie Haoran was truly heartbroken this time.

“Brother, let’s go,” Xie Ying coldly came over and called out.

Xie Haoran left silently with Xie Ying.

Xie Jiujiu noticed that Xie Haoran’s mood was off, but she didn’t take it to heart.

They barely knew each other, really.

Had they met just twice?

He was nothing more than a stranger with shared blood.

Xie Siniang sounded a little down as she quietly said, “Our eldest brother actually… just now, he was helping me with my questions, giving me guidance on cultivation quite patiently.”

She felt that their eldest brother was brought down by the other members of the main house.

“Then, Siniang, if you encounter any difficulties later, go and ask him. And maybe hint that life on Shihao Mountain is quite hard for us; you never know, it might lead to a pleasant surprise…” Xie Jiujiu didn’t discourage the family from interacting with the main house.

Xie Siniang caught the hint and nodded repeatedly.

The main house was never Xie Jiujiu’s enemy, just a blood relative who was somewhat annoying and somewhat greedy.

Xie Jiujiu’s straightforwardness prevented the main house from harboring any thoughts of gaining advantages from her.

The heart grows when indulged.

Xie Jiujiu didn’t wish to foster such expectations within the main house.

Back to the cave abode.

Jiujiu changed into a new set of Disciple Robes and cast a few Dust Cleansing Techniques. She needed to clean out her Storage Bag because she was going to meet her parents at the Fangshi tomorrow.

There really were a lot of odds and ends, none of which were very valuable. Anything she couldn’t use, she would give to her parents.

Four million five hundred thousand spare Spirit Stones!

It made Jian Lingyan’s thoughts activ again.

“Master, if I eat some more Spirit Stones, perhaps I could recall a divine-level Cultivation Technique…”

“Dream on.”

Jiujiu wasn’t fooled.

Jian Lingyan became anxious and added, “I even remembered the Jade Talisman last time.”

“Yeah, yeah, even if you recall such techniques or swordsmanship, it’s just the scenes where some former master of yours was practicing them, right?”

“There is… such a possibility,” Jian Lingyan admitted with less confidence.

Jiujiu refused.

She was resolutely unwilling to agree.

If Cultivation Techniques and swordsmanship did not require a legacy, could one simply learn by watching? If that were so, there would be no talk of inheritance in the world. The success in creating a Hiding Talisman from the scenes was purely a fluke.

As for those Spirit Stones, she planned to keep them to purchase cultivation resources.

Like Spiritual Liquid, which is refined Spirit Stones.

Jiujiu wished to quickly improve her Cultivation Base, which surely required a large amount of resources.

Seeing no chance of success, Jian Lingyan stopped paying attention to her.

Next, Jiujiu continued with her cultivation and talisman drawing.

Early the next morning, she rode the Little Immortal Crane to the Fangshi.

This time, with not a single person following her, Jiujiu felt more at ease and hurried home without stopping.

The family shop had already opened for the day.

When she entered, there were no customers in the shop, just her mother sitting in front of the counter.

“Oh? Jiujiu is back!” Mo Lan was pleasantly surprised.

Jiujiu slid over to her mother and then stopped promptly, walking over with her hands behind her back and a smile in her eyes, “Mother, how’s business?”

“So-so, just getting by. We have a few regular customers.”

Mo Lan came around the counter and looked over her daughter, relieved to see she was in one piece.

Jiujiu smiled, letting her mother inspect her, then checked her mother’s Cultivation Base, asking joyfully, “Mother, have you made a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment?”

With Mo Lan’s affirming nod, Jiujiu felt an unprecedented sense of relief, her eyes inexplicably moist. She stepped forward and embraced her mother tightly, burying her head in her chest.

Her mother in the past life had already passed away…

Now, alive and well before her eyes, and having made a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, she would have two hundred years more of life. She wouldn’t leave the world prematurely as she had in the previous life.

“Daughter?” Mo Lan noticed her daughter’s unusual mood.

Jiujiu said quietly, “I missed Mother, especially while I was in seclusion.”

“Silly girl, didn’t you say before that you had grown up?” Mo Lan chuckled, both amused and annoyed.

Xie Shen came out from the back yard, overhearing his daughter saying she missed her mother the most, could not help but interject, “Didn’t you think about your father at all? Only missing your mother, father is going to be heartbroken…”

Mo Lan shot him a look, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

With Xie Shen’s interruption, the sudden bout of emotion that had come over Jiujiu quickly subdued.

Poking her head out from her mother’s embrace, she said cheerfully, “I missed Dad too, really really missed him.”

The family of three was filled with joy.

Xie Shen closed the shop door, and Mo Lan personally cooked a table full of her daughter’s favorite dishes.

After a satisfying meal, Jiujiu began to talk about her life in the Sect. There wasn’t much to tell, really, as she had mostly been in closed-door cultivation since she joined the Sect, except for a few days here and there.

But even those few days were described by Jiujiu with great animation and excitement.

Xie Shen had heard rumors in the Fangshi before, about a Little God of Wealth who had swept an entire street clean of trash.

Initially, people were speculating about what she’d do with it, but what happened?

She took it to the Sect where she turned it around for a few million with ease.

Xie Shen couldn’t believe that the Little God of Wealth from the gossip was actually his own daughter!

“Daughter, so you’re the Little God of Wealth that everyone in the Fangshi talks about!” Xie Shen exclaimed in admiration.

Hearing this, Jiujiu’s eyes lit up, delightedly saying, “This nickname is good, Little God of Wealth and all, it sounds so much better than Little Profiteer.”

Grand, high class.
