Foxy Beauty Charms the World

The warm, smoky wind ruffled the jade faces of the peach blossoms, like the rain falling. Then, threads of green leaves emerged from the ground.

White Peony City was still bustling with noise and excitement. Traders went back and forth hawking their wares, while its seemingly harmonious and prosperous atmosphere was broken by a single shout.

"You old thing want to bargain?! This snake's appearance was clearly not good. You can take it to another medicine store and ask, but you don't need to take a piss to take care of it! You think this trash can scam us for money? You must be tired of living! "

The staff member of the Renjiang Hall put his hands on his waist and shouted loudly. Afterwards, he pushed an old man with a head full of grizzled hair out of the door. He even spat out a mouthful of blood before turning around and returning. As for the old man who was thrown out, he got up shakily and quickly went to check the basket he brought. Seeing that there were no injuries, the old man sighed and picked up his carrying pole, preparing to leave.

However, after walking only a few dozen steps, the shop assistant from the Renjiang Hall caught up. He grabbed the old man's collar and asked viciously, "You damned old man! I was wondering how you dared to come to my door, but your hands and feet aren't clean! Quickly hand over the lingzhi root that you stole! "

"Aiya, this is a huge injustice! At my age, how can I be a thief when I'm a genuine pharmacist? Little bro, don't talk nonsense! " The old man wrinkled his unadorned black face, his eyes full of grievance and helplessness.

As soon as he said this, the Rennage Hall attendant bared his teeth and rushed towards the old man's face with a fist of his fist.

"Old thing, I told you not to admit it!"

The surrounding crowd, seeing that they were about to see blood, could not bear to turn their heads away. Right at this moment, a young man in a cyan long robe with a jade belt around his waist shouted, "Stop!"

He stepped out of the crowd and glared at the Rene Shrine man. Seeing that it was only a young child in his early twenties and dressed like a commoner, the latter became bold again and laughed disdainfully: "I say, young man, don't meddle in other people's business. Where should we go? "I …"

Before he could finish his words, he heard a crisp crack and was forced three steps back. Half of his face was red and swollen.

No one had seen when the young man had made his move. When they had clearly seen it, the staff of the Rennage Hall had already retreated, covering his face with their hands. He widened his eyes and couldn't help but size up this young man who had just barged in. His facial features were deep, his sword-like eyebrows were slanted, and his nose bridge was pointed. His eyes, in particular, had a light green color hidden in the light brown color, just like a mesmerizing dark blue wave. His slightly curly black hair was tied back in three braids, and between his hair was a golden-brown ribbon. It had a strong exotic feel to it.

"This is only the old man in red, how can you do it?!" Besides, what evidence do you have that the old man stole the ganoderma? Beat the old man without any proof in broad daylight, humph! There is no law in your eyes. "

The young man's cold words were like the scorching sun in the desert, giving off a domineering aura. It shook the Shun Xiang Hall worker, but he still brazenly shouted, "You white-toothed brat, what do you know!? That Lingzhi disappeared when he arrived. I don't have any evidence, but so what? He looks like a thief who needs money to steal things! "

"Little old man, I am truly wronged!" "He went through so much trouble to get medicine ingredients but couldn't get any money in exchange and was treated like a thief. He really doesn't want to live anymore!" The old man clapped his hands on his thighs, tears streaming down his face.

The young man's face darkened as he took a step forward, slapping the shop assistant left and right, causing him to sway back and forth. He was completely stupefied. The young man had one hand behind his back all along, and he appeared to be very skillful and had an extraordinary bearing.

The surrounding crowd immediately burst into discussion as they tried to guess the identity of the young man. They were also careful to not get too close to him and be implicated.

Noticing the unfavorable situation, the Renhang staff found an opportunity to squeeze into the crowd and run away, fearing that they would run into a fugitive. That youth didn't chase after him, instead, he helped the old man to pick up the carrying pole, asking with deep concern, "Elder, you're not hurt, right?"

Seeing that there was no liveliness to watch, the surrounding crowd scattered in a hubbub.

"Sigh, such a kind-hearted young brother. It's nothing, it's nothing, just these …" The old man frowned at his basket. This piqued the youth's curiosity. He reached out his hand to lift the curtain, and the old man was shocked. He hurriedly stopped him: "Be careful, little brother!"

However, he still said it was too late. The youth had already lifted the curtain, and at first glance, he saw half a basket of black-and-white snakes that were like hemp. They were all entwined, lifeless, and filled with the smell of alcohol.

These are drunk snakes that have been fed with alcohol. They were originally going to sell for some money in the city's medicine store, but alas …!" The old man let out a long sigh. His heart was filled with sorrow, and a few more traces of bitterness appeared on his swarthy face. The young man comforted the old man. When he looked up and saw a small restaurant not far away, he said: "Old man, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll treat you to a meal.

"H-how could this be …" The old snake seller hastily waved his hand. As a country bumpkin, he had never entered a teahouse before, so he felt a little embarrassed.

"Old man, let's go to the teahouse. I'll help you think about what to do with these snakes." You can treat your children to a cup of tea. "

"Aiya! This hero, I don't dare call myself this old man. Don't ever say that! " Seeing that his words had reached this point, the old snake man refused to give this young man any face. If he got angry, he would knock him down to the ground.

Just like this, the young old man Yuan chatted as he walked towards a small restaurant.

"May I ask who you are, little brother?" I think it's the young master of the Hu Qiang Clan? "

"Oh, I am Gu Ye. I am indeed a merchant from the Hu Qiang. I came with brother to Northern Tang to see the world." The young man replied in a natural and appropriate manner.

As the two of them spoke, they entered the teahouse. The waiter hurriedly came over and greeted them. When he saw the old snake-seller, he frowned. Just as he was about to chase him away, Gu Ye took out a silver ingot and casually threw it at his feet.

"Yo!" The two of you, quickly go upstairs and invite them in! " The waiter nodded and bowed, then gripped the silver ingot tightly.

Gu Ye revealed an almost imperceptible contemptuous smile. He shook his head and walked upstairs with his hands behind his back. The upper floor was not big. There was an open roof and a crisscrossing railing. A few reeds hung down from the ceiling. There were a few stalks of pink-white hollyhock flowers scattered around. It was rather elegant.

There were no other guests upstairs except for a girl leisurely eating in the left corner.

When the two sat down, the waiter hurriedly took the menu to let Gu Ye have a look. Seeing that Gu Ye was an outsider, he politely recommended: "This grandpa is really lucky. The shop just happens to have good lamb, dried apricots, peach peel, and even bread for eating. It's definitely authentic!"

"Take a look." Gu Ye impatiently waved his hand and stuffed another silver ingot into the waiter's hands. The latter laughed to the point that her eyes could no longer be seen, bowing and bowing as she walked out.

Seeing how generous this little brother of the Hu Qiang Clan was, the old man was at a loss of what to do. It was already good that he was able to make a living from all the hard work he had done in the deep mountains and forests. How could he have the opportunity to enter a restaurant with such a big tone?

"Old man, did you sell those snakes to the medicine store?" Gu Ye, who was not too far away from the snake-selling old man's uneasy mood, asked in a pleasant tone.

"Yes, those snakes are all white snakes that can be used in medicine." In order to catch this snake, both my eldest son and my eldest daughter-in-law were bitten. Fortunately, the Zhuang family's skin was solid, and they were able to use all sorts of methods to rescue them. But if these snakes can't be sold, how will my family live! " The old snake seller spoke of his sorrows with a sigh. "There's only a bit of millet left at home, I can't even make porridge, sigh …"

"Elder, don't be anxious. There will be a way out sooner or later. Just now, I heard from the shop assistant that this snake is not good?" Gu Ye comforted the old man.

"Speaking of which, it's quite strange. This year, the mountains were set on fire for no reason, and after it was extinguished, those white snakes started burning their skin as though they were on fire. Sigh!" It's really a natural disaster, a sin! "

While he was speaking, the waiter had already served the dishes. There was a plate of steamed lamb, a few pieces of sausages, a black sesame seed cake, and two bowls of stewed lamb soup.

"Two sirs, eat. If you don't have enough, just call for me." After the waiter placed the delicious dishes on the table, he left with his back bent.

This amount of food was obviously not worth the silver ingot, but Gu Ye was too lazy to care about it. He saw that the old snake man's eyes were fixed on him, so he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and placed it on the plate in front of the old man.

"Old man, quickly eat."

"Oh, oh, oh, good …" The old snake seller swallowed his saliva. He couldn't resist the temptation of the meat anymore and couldn't care less about the heat from the furnace. His lips quivered as he started to eat.

Gu Ye used his chopsticks to poke at that plate of lamb, but he didn't eat anything. Just as he was about to call the waiter over to serve him a pot of tea, he caught a glimpse of the basket next to the old man. He couldn't help but be shocked. Although those snakes had been fed wine and were so drunk that they didn't have any offensive power, who could predict that they would wake up drunk at any time?

He suddenly stood up, scaring the old man beside him. With a flick of his hand, a piece of mutton fell to the ground.

There was an extra person by the snake basket, crouching down to tease the snake in the basket. Gu Ye took a closer look and realized it was the girl who had been eating in the corner. He looked to be in his early twenties. He wore a Yuan Treasure bun and had a small coral jade step at his temples. He was holding a flower of gold and jade. Dressed in a pleated skirt with an apricot-colored folded-up peony pattern, wearing a beige gold silk shirt, a pomegranate red string on her white wrist as she reached into the snake basket, she looked even more delicate and fair. Although he hadn't seen this girl's appearance, Gu Ye had felt that this girl had an elegant and fresh air to her, and even had a bit of a young girl's allure.

All of a sudden, Gu Ye came back to his senses. He was imagining things right above the head and back of a young lady. How ridiculous! He quickly tried to stop her, "Be careful young lady! This snake is dangerous! "

"I know." She stood up and clapped her hands. The girl then said to the old man, "I want all of your snakes. You can pick them out to my shop later. Oh, right. My name is Hu Ying. Rest assured, old man, I definitely won't be deceiving you. "

"Miss, are you from the medicine house?" Gu Ye looked Hu Ying up and down, only to see her curved brows, her bright eyes, as if a thousand words were converging here. Her red lips brought up a smile, like peony blossoming with morning dew, or like a nymph standing on a branch, waiting for you to jump in, she had long gone away with a smile on her face.

"Although I am not a medicine house, I still need this snake." Hu Ying replied before looking at the old man. Seeing that the old man still had no reaction, she stretched out her hand, "You guys continue eating. Leave after eating. I'll play with the snake for a while …"

"No need, no need, but is what the lady said true?" When the old man saw that the snake had an exit, he quickly stood up.

"That's right, this snake is ninety coins and it's a business deal." Hu Ying pointed at Nine.

Normally, a medicine house would only accept around 70 or 60 gold coins from a basket full of white snakes. To be able to give away 90 gold coins was indeed not a small gain for the old snake-seller.

The old man could not contain his laughter, but his brows immediately sunk back down. He seemed a little embarrassed, like a child who had made a mistake. "But, this young lady's snake character is not good, take a look …"

When Hu Ying heard this, she smiled. She placed her hands on her hips and said, "That's because they don't have good eyesight. This is called the Heaven Fire Seal." As she spoke, she reached out and took out a white snake. The ordinary white snakes were black flowers, but the one in Hu Ying's hand was dyed with a layer of red-brown markings, as if its scales were on fire. If one did not look carefully, one would think that it had grown red moss.

"Sky Fire Seal?" Gu Ye asked. Along the way, he had seen many of Northern Tang's daughters' houses. Most of them were soft and timid, unlike the lively and candid Mo Bei. Hu Ying made his eyes light up. She looked as white and tender as a lamb cheese, but she was also very graceful and graceful.

"The mountain fire was the result of five thunderbolts descending from the sky and the burning of the sky. "There must be some elites in this snake. In order to avoid the thunder tribulation, they let their brethren strike the mark of heaven. This means: If I dare to go against the will of heaven and harm the living, I shall burn all my brethren alive."

Hu Ying slowly explained as she got straight to the point. Her eyelashes flickered, seeming exceptionally serious.

The old snake seller was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't care whether he understood or not as he nodded his head repeatedly. Gu Ye, on the other hand, thought that Hu Ying's earnest appearance was very adorable.

Holding the Fire Seal of Heaven, Hu Ying gave a faint sigh in her heart. She stretched out her hand and lovingly stroked the head of the snake: "Brother, thank you for your hard work. We won't care about the love of this snake. Be good and come to my wine vat to play. I guarantee that you will never forget it for the rest of your life …"

No one heard the howls coming from the heart of the snake. They only saw the eyes of the white snake that was being held by Hu Ying roll up, and its body was as if a dead snake.
