“Mom, Dad, I was going to tell you that Innkeeper Zhu will bebringing his people over tomorrow to trade with us. We will sell a batch of ourmythical animals and food. We can’t store them all. Not to mention that we ca.n.u.se some cash for other goods!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao nonchalantly.


“Innkeeper Zhu?” Cheng Biyuan paused and asked suspiciously, “XiaoXiao, didn’t you imprisoned their beacons? Why is he bring people over? Are yousaying that his master are sending someone?”


“No, dad, let me tell you what happened?” And she carried on totell them the entire encounter.



Mrs. Cheng nodded, “Since they have begged for mercy and showed anintention to make things right, we should let bygone be bygone. It never paysoff to have more enemies and is always better to be able to resolve issuesamicably.”


“Exactly. We still have the Ning’s to deal with. If we add onthose behind Innkeeper Zhu, even if we have nothing to be afraid of, it willstill cause us a lot of trouble. As such, we should trade with them amicablytomorrow!” Cheng Biyuan also agreed that this was a good resolution.


Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled, “That being said, we have the upper handnow. We can’t let them take advantage of us. We had to sell our mythicalanimals for cheap in the past; we won’t need to do that anymore. We shouldraise the price up, higher the better!”


“What do you mean the higher the better? We still need to havebuyers!” laughed Mrs. Cheng. But she was happy, after all, the future of thefamily lied with her daughter.


The three of them discussed how to price their animals for thenext day, chit-chatted for a little bit, then returned to their respectivequarters for some rest.


Ever since she has started cultivating, Cheng Xiao Xiao rarelyslept on her bed. Normally she just stayed and cultivate in the dimension.


After breakfast the next day, the two deacons and Innkeeper Zhucame by the Cheng’s. This time they were much more cautious than they werebefore, and very respectful to the Cheng’s family member. All the arrogancefrom the previous time was gone.


Happy with this change, Cheng Biyuan showed them into theircourtyard. Naturally, they had even more respect for the quiet Chen Xiao Xiao.In addition to the respect, a hint of fear could also be detected.


This time Cheng Xiao Xiao had no intention to interject; she left.i.t all up to her father.


The helper villagers arrived and noticed the visitor at theCheng’s. They greeted them from outside the courtyard and headed toward theback of the house. Cheng Xiao Xiao followed them to check out the situation.


Liu Danhang was the happiest person of allwhen she showed up. He liked to walk next to her, even if she didn’t speak tohim at all. He was ecstatic, like he had just found some treasure.


Look at them, the four men nearby allsighed inwardly. They have already noticed yesterday that the Cheng’s had nointention of setting them up. Especially maiden Cheng, she was cold toward him.She had no interest in him at all.


It didn’t look like Liu Danhang stood achance here.


Of course, they also understand that ChengXiao Xiao was truly out of his league. She looked like someone from a n.o.blefamily. Walking next to her just made him looked like her servant.


Of course n.o.body verbalized any of thesethoughts. It wasn’t their place to do so. When they arrived at the well, they startedworking without further exchanges.


Except for Liu Danhang, he looked solidlyat the person in front of him. He looked like he had something to say, butdidn’t know how to formulate his thoughts.


Even though Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t look athim, she still had a pretty good idea of how he looked. And at the same time,she had made up her mind to lay things out with him. It wasn’t a good thing forhim to wander around in front of her all the time either.
