Chapter 186: Empathetic

Chai Li was stunned for a moment: "Well, who is here? Do I recognize it?" may be that she felt something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "There are a few people, how many rooms should be arranged." ”

I could feel the changes in her psychology, so I thought about letting her die so as not to be embarrassed when we met again in the future, so I said, "In addition to my eldest brother Ugly Cat, there is also the City Lord's wife." ”

"Mrs. City Lord?" Chai Li was a little surprised: "What's the matter?"

I smiled cheekily: "It's not Chai Juan, it's Hu Mint, she is from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, you should have heard her name." ”

"Miss Qingqiu Hu?" This time Chai Li was surprised that she could stuff an egg in her mouth: "Didn't you expect your flirting skills to be quite high?" Whether it is Miss Chai or Miss Hu, they are both important figures in the demon world. ”

"Generally average, third in the world. I said happily.

I have to admit that Chai Li is a woman with strong psychological tolerance, and it didn't take long for her to return to normal.

There were only two of us in the house, so she didn't treat me as the lord of the city, so when we talked, she was still completely relaxed as before.

At that time, it was already more than eight o'clock in the morning, so I smiled and said, "Sister Li, you look tired all night, why don't I invite you to breakfast?" ”

Chai Li exaggerated and shouted: "It won't be so cheap, right? I almost died for you last night, how can you just ask for a breakfast? Besides, the big meals are all in the evening, otherwise, I will invite you to eat today's breakfast, and your big meal will be recorded in the account first, when you are free, go together, it is best to call the city lord's wife together!"

Seeing that I didn't reply immediately, Chai Li said again: "What? Aren't you reluctant? You are a dignified Lord of Black Rock City, you can't be petty. When a new official takes office, how can he do it without some blood?"

I also laughed: "No, although I am the city lord, your patriarch has not advanced his salary in advance!"

Chai Li pouted: "Why pretend to be poor? Such a big Black Rock City is just an outer city, and there are a lot of taxes every year, if you take all the Black Rock City, the gold will be in a hurry." ”

"What is taken from the people, for the people. I nodded, "Okay, there is a saying that it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and you should ask for this meal first." I'll keep that meal on my books. ”

Chai Li smiled: "It's pretty much the same." In my impression, Li Ming is not the kind of person who is stingy. ”

There was just a piece of sunlight coming in through the window, shining on Chai Li's face, looking so delicate as a flower, I could even see a freckle next to her nose clearly.

Chai Li touched her face: "What's the matter, Li Ming." You're fascinated by it. Is there something dirty on my face? By the way, I must have not rested last night, and I didn't wash my face in the morning, and I suddenly became a yellow-faced woman. ”

Women, they generally pay attention to their appearance, and cultivators like Chai Li are no exception. She didn't wait for me to speak, and walked quickly into the bathroom. Needless to say, I must have gone to wash my face.

It was a long time before she came out. I didn't wear makeup, and I was plain faced, but after washing, she gave me a feeling of hibiscus coming out of the water, especially the water drop on my sideburns, which shone in the sun. Women are pleasing to themselves, this sentence is not unreasonable. Although my previous words had broken Chai Li's thoughts, she still wouldn't make herself look like a yellow-faced woman in front of me.

I smiled and said, "Sister Li, I'm new to the city, I'm not familiar with this place, you look at looking for a restaurant, let's talk while eating, you can tell me about the specific situation of Black Rock City." ”

Chai Li thought for a while and said, "Okay, I remember that there is a snack street in the outer city, and there are more than 100 merchants on the street, with all kinds of flavors, why don't we go where to eat." But I'll put the ugly words first, the sanitary conditions here are not very good, and the houses are all dangerous, but because the taste is good, the business is very prosperous. Nearby residents, some laborers, and even the patrolling Mingyue Army would go there to eat. ”

When I heard Chai Li say this, I felt a little strange in my heart, after all, such a place is definitely a strange existence for the outer city where every inch of land is valuable. I had a vague premonition that Chai Li deliberately asked me to go there to eat, maybe there were other intentions in it. But I didn't say it clearly, I didn't say it thoroughly, I was a good friend! So, I nodded: "This snack street is good, just go there." ”

The two of us walked out of the gate of the Mingyue Army, and someone had already greeted us, first gave a salute, and then said that there was a special carriage here, and asked me if Chai Li and I would sit. Chai Li didn't speak, just looked at me, it was obvious, it was for me to decide. I shook my head and said, "We're just going out for a walk, and by the way, we're going to take a look at the scenery of the outer city, so we won't take the carriage." ”

Chai Li and I strolled on the streets of the outer city, I have to say, the hardware facilities here are very good, the road is several zhang wide, all of them are paved with abandoned black spirit stones, and the construction process is quite exquisite, between each stone, as if there is no gap. This kind of method is rare even in the real world with high technology. I think that as long as you make good use of it, this road alone can become a new tourist attraction.

This black road is as long as five kilometers, and there are small shops on both sides of the road, selling everything, but the most is of course the Black Spirit Stone, a specialty of Black Rock City. However, since there are no black spirit stone mines in the outer city, these small shops sell scraps, and there are basically no high-quality products, so the price is relatively cheap.

Chai Li sighed lightly and said, "I heard that in the past, after the ore came out of the four cities, it was sold in the outer city, but since the Lonely Soul Gang, the Five Clans Gang, and the Fire Tree Clan occupied all the mines, we no longer have any high-grade black spirit stones in the outer city. ”

I smiled: "Sister Li, what are you sighing for? Now that I'm here, everything will change." I promise you, it won't be long before something drastic changes will take place here. At that time, whether it is the east city, the west city, or the south city and the north city, they will all obey the orders of me, the lord of the city. I want this street to be filled with all the top-grade black spirit stones, and I want to make this street crowded, even surpassing Qingqiu City, and becoming the most famous spirit stone trading place in the demon world. ”

Chai Li also smiled: "Li Ming, I believe in you." As long as you can do that, that's really good. ”

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Li Ming, if there really is such a day, will you still return Black Rock City to the Jackal Clan?"

"Give it back to the Jackals? Why?" I smiled: "Sister Li, you are not an outsider, so I won't talk about those vain heads." This will be my base camp, and you will be my big butler, and as for the jackals, go where you can go and where to go cool. If they say it well, for the sake of Chai Juan's face, I may still give them thirty percent of the profit, if they want to play hard, then I'm sorry, I will accompany them to the end. Think about it, but at that time, I must have integrated all the forces in Black Rock City, and the Jackals and I went to war, didn't I let it go and find out if I was comfortable?"

"You're such a demon. Chai Li looked at me, her expression was a little complicated, and she suddenly said, "Of course, that's to your enemy." For your family, or for all the people of Blackstone, you believe that you will be an angel. ”

I shook my head and shook my head: "Those who know me, Sister Li." ”

We talked and laughed all the way, walked about two or three miles, Chai Li suddenly turned to the left, it was a small road, and walked more than a mile, she pointed to the front and said, "Li Ming, the snack street has arrived." ”

I looked up, and I saw what a garbled word it was. There are basically simple houses on both sides, and the sanitary conditions are not very good, especially on the ground, which is not as grand as the black road just now. Because it was a dirt road, if it rained, you can imagine how muddy it was, and no one could get in.

But what is completely different from the black road is that it is very popular, and one day, the streets are almost full of people, as if the whole people from the outer city have gathered here. In addition to people, it is the smoke and steaming white gas, and of course, it is inseparable from the smell that comes from the nose. I even smelled soy milk fritters here.

He led me to a door and said, "Li Ming, you are from the human world, and you must like to eat these." ”

I looked, here is a small can not be smaller faΓ§ade, fortunately the sanitary conditions are not bad, the usual tables and chairs, almost spotless, and I look at the table next to the door on the table is placed a lot of food I am familiar with, there are fritters, there are flatbread, and vegetable corners, what is even more rare is that a big pot inside is steaming, I sniffed hard, wow, it turned out to be authentic mutton soup.

Supposedly, the peak breakfast season has passed, but it's still overcrowded. Chai Li and I waited for more than ten minutes, and finally vacated two seats.

Chai Li pulled me over and sat down, and then said, "Uncle Li, two bowls of mutton soup and two flatbreads." ”

"Okay!" a warm and old voice came, I turned my head to look, only to see that the shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, with a simple face, I felt the fluctuation of spiritual power from his body, but it was very weak, almost no different from an ordinary mortal.

Chai Li looked at me and said softly: "Uncle Li is a member of the Wing Clan, and his cultivation was good, but then he met an enemy, and he didn't break one of his legs, and he also wasted his Qi Sea. ”
