As the date of the auction at the Cheng’s came closer and closer, moreand more visitors were arriving at the town of Daling. Majority of them werethose who cultivate on their own or representatives from big families. Everydaythere were a lot of traffic in and out of Daling.
Even though n.o.body from the Cheng’s were present in town, but Old ManYing was monitoring the situation in town from a peak outside of the town. Minorconflicts or fightings were okay to be ignored, but the Cheng’s would not allowfor any large scale fighting or killing.
After all, Qing’an Province now belonged to the Cheng’s and all theresidents here were managed by the Cheng’s. And the Cheng’s were ultimately responsiblefor the safety of it’s residents.
In order to make sure the situation of Qing’an Province did not go outof control, Cheng Xiao Xiao had a.s.signed a batch of mystical beasts to headtowards different regions among Qing’am Province and keep an eye out on things.If they discovered any cultivators injuring any peasants, they must report backto her immediately.
When it was only a few days out, more and more cultivators headed towardWillows and asked to meet with the Cheng’s, but all their requests were denied.No matter who they were, which clan or sect they were with, the Cheng’sindiscriminately denied their requests to meet.
If they intend to make a purchase, they would have to wait till the dayof the auction to return.
Groups and groups of cultivators, let them be the arrogant ones or theprideful and rude ones, none of them were able to get the Cheng’s to budge.
Even though it had caused some nuances for the Cheng’s to get in andout, but luckily nothing major and everything has been peaceful so far.
As for the Cheng’s household, Cheng Xiao Xiao was probably the most freeand relaxed person. She had been a total b.u.m, as long as n.o.body sought her outand bother her, she never pro-actively sought to help out.
She told her maids on the outside to watch guard and make sure n.o.bodywould interrupt before she flashed into the dimension.
She had just heard little Yuteng called out to her happily so she knewsomething new and interesting must have happened, so she went in right away tofind out what it was.
As soon as she got inside, Cheng Xiao Xiao immediately noticed littleYuteng happily flying around the crystal-fruit tree.
Before she said a word, little Yuteng cried out happily, “Youngmistress! Come quickly! The crystal-fruit tree is finally bearing fruits!HAHAHAH!” laughed little Yuteng wholeheartedly.
Cheng Xiao Xiao took a big leap and landed next to the crystal-fruittree. She immediately smelled a refreshing fragrance in the air and the shinyfruits size of a fingernail sparkled under the sun. They looked more like artsthan something edible.
“This is incredible. I would never imagine there will be fruits likethis!” Cheng Xiao Xiao reached out and touched a crystal fruit. It was a b.i.t.c.hilly to the touch, and it sparkled some more.
“Young Mistress, you never would have guessed huh? I thought thedimension would have to be at least over level 60 for the tree to bear fruits.I didn’t expect the mystical stones from a while ago that was absorbed by thetree will make it fruit. If only we have some more mystical stones, I think thefruits will ripen very quickly!”
As she was talking, little Yuteng turned to look at her. Her eyessparkled as she smiled and said, “Young Mistress, remember to collect a lot ofmystical stones in two days’ time. The more the crystal-fruit tree absorb, thefaster the fruits will ripen!”
“Ugh…”
Thinking about the thousands of mystical stones of various sizes thatwould be absorbed by the crystal-fruit trees, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help butcringed. No normal person would be able to afford to have something like this!
“Hehehe,” As though she could read her mind, little Yuteng smiled andsaid, “Young Mistress, quit being so petty. When the crystal fruits ripened,you will see that all these sacrifices were worthwhile.”
“Worthwhile?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao as she looked at the tiny trinkets onthe tree. Helplessly she said, “Would they turn me into a fairy if I eat them?”
