Chapter 83 Why don’t you go and ask Xiao Changqing for help? "Aren't there a lot of good stuff?" "That's it for today. We'll come back next month. Hopefully, the spirit stones will be ready by then, so we won't have to take action." Several creditors took the valuables they had looted and left. Not only were Hu Youquan and Zhou Yun'e's robes and magical instruments looted, but their homes were also searched thoroughly. The entire cave looked like it had been through a war and was in a mess. Hu Youquan collapsed in his chair. Although he felt pain and humiliation, he felt relieved. Finally, I got rid of those people. They won't come back to collect debts for the time being. As for next month... Hu Youquan turned his head and looked at Zhou Yun'e, who had a numb expression and a beautiful and cold face filled with despair. He quickly stood up and walked over to hug her to comfort her. Zhou Yun'e stretched out her hand to push him away and said coldly: "Don't touch me!"
Her robes were taken away by her creditors, and now she was wearing an ordinary long dress. One of the reasons why she left Xiao Changqing was that she wanted to wear the robes from Baibaolou. Later, she followed Hu Youquan and bought two robes from Baibaolou over the years. Now it's all gone. Hu Youquan immediately apologized upon seeing this, and slapped himself twice, "Yun'e, I'm sorry, it's all my fault! I should have listened to you and stopped in time. I shouldn't have been so greedy as to borrow spirit stones to buy shops and caves. If I had listened to you, I wouldn't have ended up like this today." Zhou Yun'e was indifferent to Hu Youquan's self-harming behavior. She just laughed bitterly: "What's the point of saying this now? Don't you always think that I let you use the spirit stones for cultivation to harm you, and that I am too selfish and want to take advantage of you?" It is! Hu Youquan thought silently in his heart. Although his current fate is extremely miserable, it cannot be denied that Zhou Yun'e had selfish motives before and only wanted to spend his spirit stones. Of course, if he had known the outcome today, he would rather let Zhou Yun'e take advantage and spend all his spiritual stone savings on her. wrong…… If Zhou Yun'e hadn't been spending spirit stones lavishly and without restraint, I wouldn't have been so distressed that I would have tried every possible means to find places to invest, and the current situation wouldn't have happened! Hu Youquan began to feel resentful again. Some people are like this. They will never admit their mistakes and always find reasons to pass the buck and blame others. However, Hu Youquan didn't dare to say these words anymore. He still needs to coax Zhou Yun'e and rely on Zhou Yun'e to do some things. "Yun'e, you can scold me, you can hit me, I will never fight back! I know I was wrong! I will definitely change in the future!" Hu Youquan said humbly. When the two were together before, although he was the one who took the initiative to pursue Zhou Yun'e, as a local cultivator in Nanshanfang, he held the economic power and was actually the one who always took the initiative. He was willing to coax Zhou Yun'e, so he would be friendly and try his best to agree to the conditions proposed by Zhou Yun'e. But if he is unhappy and doesn't want to pamper her anymore, Zhou Yun'e will eventually be the one who gives in. This was the first time that Hu Youquan had been so utterly humble.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yun'e didn't buy his tricks at all. Instead, she became more sad and irritated. She said coldly, "Don't put on a show for me. Think about what to do next month! This time they looted everything and took away all the valuables. What if they come again next month? If you can't take out the spirit stones, do you think they will let you go easily?" When Hu Youquan thought about what he would face next month, fear appeared on his face, and he said in a trembling voice: "Then...what should I do?" Zhou Yun'e frowned and said, "It's very simple. We only have one choice now. That is to sell all the caves and shops we have! No matter how low the price is, we have to sell them! We can't just wait to die, right?" "How can that be possible?!" Hu Youquan jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He kept shaking his head and said firmly, "No, no. The price is so low now. Even if I sell all of them, not only will I lose all my savings over the years, but it will still not be enough to pay off the debts! They will still chase me for debts! I want to keep the house in my hands. I believe that Nanshanfang will soon restore order and prosper again! Then, I can make a comeback!" "Stop dreaming!" Zhou Yun'e scolded with a cold face: "Hu Youquan, what are you still dreaming about? Even if Nanshanfang can withstand the attacks of evil cultivators and will not become the next Yinye Peak, it is still located in the border area and is at the core of the conflict between Dayu Xiuxian World and the Demon Cult! How can the housing prices in such a place still rise?" Hu Youquan felt so humiliated by the scolding that his ears turned red. In the past, he would have stood up and yelled back, telling Zhou Yun'e to get out if she couldn't stay any longer, and eventually Zhou Yun'e would have given in and apologized to him. just now…… "Well, what do you say we should do? Even if we sell it, we still can't pay off all the debts." Hu Youquan said aggrievedly. "Even if we can't pay it all back, at least there will be only a small part left. By then, those debt collectors won't be as pressing as they are today. They will give you time to slowly find ways to earn spirit stones to pay off your debts." Although Zhou Yun'e was desperate, she was thinking clearly. Her eyes flickered as she said, "Besides, after we sell all the caves and shops and get the spirit stones, we don't have to pay off the debts! At that time, we can even try to sneak away! Leave Nanshanfang and find a new place to start over!" "Leave Nanshanfang?" Hu Youquan was stunned. He never thought of going this route. Because he is a local cultivator of Nanshanfang, and his ancestors have been rooted in Nanshanfang since his grandfather's generation. If he wasn't forced into a desperate situation, he would definitely not be willing to leave Nanshanfang. But now, it's a dead end. If we can really escape with a large amount of spirit stones and leave Nanshanfang, it is not unacceptable. Soon, Zhou Yun'e changed the subject and said, "But I guess we can't escape. The people from Suiyidai have probably arranged spies to keep an eye on you, especially when you start selling your cave and shop. There may be cultivators in the late stage of Qi training who will keep an eye on you at any time. When you get the money, before you can even warm it up, they will come to your door." Hu Youquan, who had just started to feel hopeful and alive, felt hopeless after hearing this and asked, "Then what should we do?" "Of course you have to sell it! If you don't sell it, you will die; if you sell it, even if you can't escape, at least your life should be safe. Don't you know how to choose?" Zhou Yun'e said emotionlessly. After hesitating for a while, Hu Youquan suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "In fact, there is another option. If it succeeds, it will not only help us get through the crisis, but also help us become successful..." Zhou Yun'e frowned: "What kind of whimsical dream are you having?" Hu Youquan shook his head and said seriously and timidly: "As long as Yun'e... you are willing to ask Xiao Changqing to help us, all our crises will be solved with just one word from him!" Wow! Zhou Yun'e's eyes revealed disbelief as she asked, "What did you say? Say it again?!" Hu Youquan immediately stepped forward and wanted to hug her, but was pushed away by Zhou Yun'e again. "Yun'e, I really have no other choice. Just go and ask Xiao Changqing for help once. If he is willing to help, you can... you can..." Hu Youquan also had a painful look on his face. Zhou Yun'e was now his Taoist companion. He felt very humiliated at the thought of having to let Zhou Yun'e kneel down and beg Xiao Changqing, being so humble and allowing herself to be manipulated by him. When he stole your love back then, who could have imagined the situation today? Those who humiliate others will always be humiliated. Hu Youquan endured the humiliation and gritted his teeth and said, "In short, there is a saying in the secular world that a husband and wife for a day will be grateful to each other for a hundred days. Maybe Xiao Changqing still has feelings for him." "What if he doesn't have any old love?" Zhou Yun'e asked, staring at him intently.
Hu Youquan didn't dare to look at him, he lowered his eyes and said softly: "Then let him make any request, you just agree to it. You have been with him for so many years, you should know his preferences and be able to please him, right? As long as he can vent his anger, I will accept any revenge he wants..." Zhou Yun'e's eyes showed complete disappointment. Although she had felt desperate, regretful, and numb before, she did not completely deny her past. Now she realized that everything she did was wrong. Although she looked down on Xiao Changqing at first, Xiao Changqing never asked her to please other men no matter how hard or difficult it was! "It's up to you whether you accept it or not, but I won't!" Zhou Yun'e shed two lines of tears in her eyes and turned away. She could regret, feel like a thousand ants were gnawing at her heart, and wake up in the middle of the night countless times... However, she couldn't kneel down and beg Xiao Changqing for forgiveness. Because she knew it was useless and would only waste her last bit of dignity. …… …… A cave. Since moving here, Lin Ziyu has become busier every day. Compared to the previous Yishi Cave, in addition to the improvement of the spiritual vein level, the area of the cave has also increased several times. It can grow more spiritual plants and even raise a few spiritual beasts with little attack power for laying spiritual eggs. She can hardly take care of it by herself. Recently, she has begun to consider whether she should discuss with her master and hire some servants to take care of the cave, and she would be the housekeeper. After all, she also has to spend time practicing every day. It would be a waste if we didn't seize the time to practice after moving to a cave with such a high level of spiritual vein! Moreover, Lin Ziyu had already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining a few years ago, and recently she had a vague feeling that she was about to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. After the sixth level of Qi Refining, the next step is to strive for the late stage of Qi Refining. Although she didn't think she could successfully build her foundation, it would be no problem for her to enter the late stage of Qi Refining. Inside the spacious new studio. On the desk in front of Xiao Changqing, there were eleven second-level, low-grade calming talismans. As for the first-grade top-quality calming talismans and exorcising evil talismans, they had already been piled into two thick piles, with more than fifty pieces in each pile. This is the result of his work over the past month. There are not many second-level talismans, mainly because there are too few second-level talisman materials in Nanshanfang. Gong Wansheng is not very reliable. He said that he would ask Luoxia Sect to allocate second-level talisman materials to him as soon as he returned, but there has been no movement so far. Fortunately, he is now the so-called number one master in Nanshanfang, and his reputation is great enough to allow Lin Zixi to collect a batch of materials. "With so many evil-breaking talismans and calming talismans, even if the mysterious jade still has some evil power left, it should be able to suppress it..." "Then... let's give it a try and see if it's included in the system!" With great anticipation, Xiao Changqing used his magic power to move the mysterious jade out of the storage bag.
