The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 22

Ch 22: Fleece the Sheep

Immortal Crane Restaurant.

Xi Yang walked out of the private room, feeling great after a satisfying meal.

Just as he arrived in the restaurant lobby, a man in a black suit suddenly kicked out.

Sensing the kick, Xi Yang quickly waved his hand to block, took a step to the left with his left foot, and moved sideways to avoid the attack.

He said with an icy gaze, “Is this how you people in the city like to launch sneak attacks?”

The man quickly retreated after the failed attack, saying disdainfully, “You’re just a bumpkin from the countryside. What means do I need to use to deal with you!”

Hearing this, Xi Yang’s eyes flashed with killing intent. These guys who bully others based on their master’s power won’t stop until they’re beaten into submission! Immediately, he exerted force with his feet, gathering power in his hands, ready to give him a good beating.

“Xi Yang, wait! He’s Wen Xiang of the Wen Family. It’s not wise to offend him!” Huang Shiman, who came out of the private room upstairs, called out to stop him.

Xi Yang sneered, his figure already darting out.

Seeing this, Wen Xiang quickly adopted a stance to prepare for the attack. But Xi Yang’s speed was too fast. Before he could even catch sight of Xi Yang’s figure, a cracking sound came from his right leg, and his body involuntarily fell forward.

Then, with a thump, his chin was struck hard, sending him flying.

After doing all this, Xi Yang clapped his hands and said lightly, “Boss Huang, sorry, you were too slow!”

Huang Shiman looked at Xi Yang and smiled awkwardly, “It’s okay, anyway, our Huang Family and the Wen Family don’t get along!” She thought to herself, “Now it’s done, I’ve completely offended the Wen Family!” But this is also good, saving Grandpa from always wanting me to marry this guy. Now that he’s been beaten up by my man, this matter is probably over!

Huang Shiyun and Gongsun Yuan, who came out afterward, looked at Wen Xiang, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, and their eyes turned to the indifferent Xi Yang, giving him a thumbs up. Huang Shiyun exclaimed, “You’re still fierce! This is the Wen Family’s only heir, and he’s been beaten up like this. If Wen Jianghai finds out, he’ll definitely go crazy!”

Gongsun Yuan, who was never one to shy away from excitement, said, “You’re the only one in this county who dares to hit Wen Xiang! You’re so handsome, I think I’ve fallen for you.” Saying that, Gongsun Yuan quickly came to Xi Yang’s side and hugged Xi Yang’s arm, rubbing it against her chest. Huang Shiyun, who was watching this scene from upstairs, cursed, “Forgetting your friends for the sake of a man!”

Xi Yang’s expression changed as he was hugged like this, and he quickly pulled his hand out, saying to Boss Huang, “Boss Huang, this was all my doing. Just say it directly! I have something to do, so I’ll take my leave!” After speaking, Xi Yang turned and left the Immortal Crane Restaurant.

It was already afternoon, and he only had three million in his card, while the rough stones inside started at a million. He was afraid that his money wouldn’t be enough for him to squander.

Just as he walked to the door, he heard Huang Shiman calling out, “Xi Yang, wait!” She quickly came down from upstairs.

“Wait, don’t walk so fast!”

Xi Yang turned back to look at her. “What’s wrong, Boss Huang!”

Huang Shiman took a breath, looked at the displeased Xi Yang, and said, “Xi Yang, there’s no need to be so distant. I’m a few years older than you, just call me Sister Shiman!” Saying that, she took out a soft ruler from her bag and quickly measured Xi Yang’s body.

Xi Yang stood there quietly, waiting for her explanation.

Afterward, she said with a smile, “You just joined my Huang’s Rough Stone Shop, and I haven’t had time to order clothes for you! I should have measured you in the shop, but I forgot for a moment. Please forgive me!”

Xi Yang looked at her apologetic expression and smiled, “Thank you!” After speaking, he turned and left. Her actions had already explained everything.

For Xi Yang, Huang Shiman’s decision at this moment determined the extent of Xi Yang’s help to the Huang Family. Of course, even if she stayed out of it, Xi Yang would still help, but not too much.

Coming outside, looking at the bustling road, Xi Yang used the landmark buildings to identify the direction.

At this time, Gongsun Yuan drove up to Xi Yang, rolled down the car window, and said with a smile, “Get in the car!”

Xi Yang shook his head, “Sorry, I don’t want to. Go and do your thing!”

Hearing this, Gongsun Yuan immediately got out of the car, looking at Xi Yang with teary eyes. “Do you hate me?”

Looking at her crying appearance, Xi Yang sighed. “Alright, stop crying. Will getting in the car be enough? Crying and sniveling, others will think I bullied you!”

Hearing this, Gongsun Yuan immediately turned her tears into a smile and quickly got into the car.

The cars behind them had already formed a long queue because her car was blocking the exit of the Immortal Crane Restaurant’s parking lot.

The security guard at the gate was already preparing to come over and deal with it.

She drove the car out and then asked, “Where are we going?”

Xi Yang said lightly, “Back to Rough Stone Street!”

“Okay!” Saying that, she stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out.

The two were silent for a moment.

Gongsun Yuan asked, “Xi Yang, do you have a girlfriend?”

Xi Yang shook his head, “I don’t have any friends! Let alone a girlfriend!” He knew that the girlfriend in this world was not just a female friend, but another name for a lover.

Gongsun Yuan said excitedly, “Really? I don’t have a boyfriend either. Will you be my boyfriend?”

Xi Yang was shocked to hear this. Are modern women so open? Casually confirming a relationship with someone!

He immediately refused, “No, we haven’t known each other for even a day, and we don’t understand each other. It would be good if we could become friends!”

Hearing this, Gongsun Yuan said with a low expression, “Is that so?” I hope you say you’re willing, but I don’t want you to say you’re willing! So tangled!

The scene fell into silence.

The car quickly arrived at Rough Stone Street, and Xi Yang got out of the car at the end of the street.

As he was about to leave, Gongsun Yuan asked, “Then are we friends?”

Xi Yang nodded, “Of course!”

“That’s good, we’ll start as friends and slowly become boyfriend and girlfriend! It’s decided then!” Saying that, without waiting for Xi Yang to answer, she stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Xi Yang shook his head helplessly and turned to look at these rough stone shops.

His plan was simple: to take all the rough stones he had seen at noon into his possession. In this way, he would have a lot more capital to participate in the stone gambling convention tonight.

When Xi Yang stepped into these stores again, he was still driven away by the shop owners, and Xi Yang took the opportunity to lower the prices. When Xi Yang took out his bank card and bought the rough stones, the shop owners’ faces turned as bitter as gourds.

In just a few hours, Xi Yang had looted these rough stone shops, buying back all the rough stones in their shops that could produce crystals. During this time, he saw merchants who had witnessed Xi Yang winning, which led to the last few shop owners refusing to lower their prices no matter what.

When Xi Yang returned to Huang’s Rough Stone Shop with a bag of rough stones on his shoulder.

The staff at the front desk immediately called Huang Shiman.

Huang Shiman was speechless to the extreme when she saw Xi Yang buying rough stones like cabbage. She asked in surprise, “Where did you collect these scraps from?” Then, realizing that she had said the wrong thing, she immediately changed her words and asked, “No, did you spend all three million on these rough stones?”

Xi Yang nodded, “I didn’t spend three million, I spent a total of one million two hundred thousand.”

Huang Shiman touched her forehead, took a deep breath, and calmed her heart. “I found him myself, it’s okay, the Huang Family can handle it.”

She waved to Xiao Lan, who was watching from the side, “Xiao Lan, take him to Master Li and help him cut these rough stones!”

Xiao Lan came to Xi Yang and said with a smile, “Advisor Xi, please come with me!”

Xi Yang, carrying these hundreds of pounds of rough stones, walked in amidst their astonished gazes.

A shop assistant watching from the side said in a low voice, “This guy really has the mentality of a nouveau riche, thinking that he’s a rough stone expert just because he happened to win three million at noon!”

“What do you know? He wants to show off in front of our boss, but I think his face will be swollen in a while! Hahaha!”

……

Arriving at the stone cutting platform in the shop, Master Li, who was specially responsible for cutting stones, was a strong man in his fifties. Due to years of cutting stones, his hands were particularly rough.

He frowned as he looked at Xi Yang, who was carrying a bag of rough stones, “You want to open all of these?”

Xi Yang nodded, “Open them all!”

“It will take at least two days to unlock all of these!” Master Li said in a deep voice. Looking at Xi Yang’s appearance, he believed that the person in front of him must be a nouveau riche.

Xi Yang frowned when he heard this, “Can’t it be faster?”

There were only three hours left until the stone gambling convention. If he couldn’t unlock these stones, he was afraid that his money wouldn’t be enough. Of course, it wouldn’t be a problem to borrow some from Huang Shiman, but this was, after all, a favor.
