Chapter 1037 White Moon Brahma Star 2
Chapter 1037 White Moon Brahma Star 2
The information in the Bu Ji Building is better known than that in the City Lord's Mansion. After all, the Bu Ji Building only looks like a brothel from the outside, but there are many forces intertwined inside. Even the owner of the building, the Extreme Realm Demon King Fan Yue, allowed the immortals to send people to act as undercover. Doesn't this make it easier for Jiang Xinxin to understand this world?
After the fall of the gods, the immortals and the demons had been in long-term opposition, and the accumulated feuds could no longer be reconciled, unless one of the parties was completely destroyed, or both races were defeated and there was no possibility of fighting each other. It was not until more than a hundred years ago that both races suffered heavy losses and then they briefly ushered in peace.
But besides the immortals, demons and humans, there are also beings called aliens. Jiang Xinxin has not yet heard more about the aliens. She only knows that they are probably the hybrids of the two races and are not tolerated by the other races. These people gradually gathered together and formed the beings called aliens.
Regarding the demon clan, the forces that Jiang Xinxin currently knows about include the Haoyue Palace where Fan Yue is located, and the Lengquan Palace, which only has a name. It sounds like the Haoyue Palace should be a subsidiary of the Lengquan Palace. More information is needed to judge the actual situation.
There is also a fox tribe that lives independently of Lengquan Palace. It seems that their cultivation is inseparable from a certain treasure, so they have been living in seclusion since the last war between immortals and demons.
As for the immortals, the one Jiang Xinxin heard the most about was Lanling Immortal Sect. Bai Shuo's fiancé Chong Zhao was a disciple of Lanling Immortal Sect. In Jiang Xinxin's eyes, the so-called immortals were just cultivators who had embarked on the path of cultivation. It was a false claim to be immortals.
Jiang Xinxin noticed that Chongzhao had established contact with the courtesan Furong, and Fan Yue had already told Bai Shuo to go out and gather the so-called five thoughts to open the Thoughtless Stone. Although Bai Shuo was still hesitant and said that the city lord Bai Xun's birthday was approaching and everything should wait until after the city lord's birthday, Jiang Xinxin understood that Bai Shuo would definitely go out on an adventure with Fan Yue, so she appeared in front of Bai Shuo seemingly passively and was recognized by Bai Shuo.
Bai Shuo stared at Jiang Xinxin's face, not caring at all about Jiang Xinxin's disrespectful behavior of almost knocking her down. Jiang Xinxin pretended to be weak and apologized repeatedly: "Second Miss, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all Feng Xin's fault, I almost hurt the Second Miss!"
Hearing the title of Second Miss, and then hearing Jiang Xinxin calling herself Feng Xin, Bai Shuo finally remembered who the person in front of him was, "Aren't you the adopted granddaughter of Aunt Feng? Why are you in Buji Tower?"
Jiang Xinxin smiled helplessly: "At the beginning, grandma was always hesitant about whether to ask me to sell myself to the City Lord's Mansion. Even if I became a slave, it would be a peaceful life that many people outside dream of. But grandma remembered that the swaddling clothes I was wearing when she picked me up were not something that ordinary people could have, and she was afraid that it would delay my family from looking for me. I didn't expect that this hesitation would ruin things..."
Bai Shuo still remembered the incident when Nanny Feng's husband's family and her in-laws had a fight at the City Lord's Mansion, and also remembered that Jiang Xinxin was taken away. At that time, she secretly gave Jiang Xinxin some precious jewelry, thinking that Jiang Xinxin would be able to hold on until she found a good in-law with the money. However, she didn't expect that they would meet again today in this Buji Tower.
Bai Shuo was so distressed that he wanted to ask Jiang Xinxin to leave Buji Tower and live in the City Lord's Mansion. However, Fan Yue became suspicious of Jiang Xinxin and asked coldly with his hands behind his back, "Since you met with an accident, why didn't you send a message to the City Lord's Mansion? City Lord Bai is a kind person praised by everyone. Since you have such a connection with the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Bai will definitely not watch you end up in a brothel."
Bai Shuo didn't agree with Fan Yue's questioning. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Jiang Xinxin: "I have learned some skills from my grandmother. I think that even though I am young, I can deal with those peasants. When I reach the age of 15, I can use the reward from the second lady to marry into a good family. From then on, the man can farm and the woman can weave, and we can live in peace and happiness."
"But I still underestimated the unpredictable nature of human nature. They used a simple and crude knockout drug and woke me up as Miss Xin of Buji Tower. I was no longer Feng Xin."
Hearing this, Bai Shuo couldn't hold back any longer, and glared at Fan Yue, who she had determined to be a demon, "You are the owner of this Buji Building, and you actually allowed such a thing!"
Fan Yue was very tolerant of Bai Shuo, but he had no tolerance for Jiang Xinxin, a suspicious outsider. However, he really wanted to know what Jiang Xinxin wanted to do. In his mind, he had already labeled Jiang Xinxin as an undercover sent by the immortals, so he directly followed Bai Shuo's words and said, "Since you didn't come to the Buji Tower by yourself, I will have someone cancel your indenture and compensate you with one hundred taels of silver. You can go home by yourself."
Bai Shuo rolled his eyes. "This is someone from my City Lord's Mansion. Do you really need to worry about him?"
Bai Shuo directly took Jiang Xinxin's hand and asked, "Feng Xin, I'm about to go out. If you are willing, you can go with me. This way my father will be more assured. You have some skills, and you may be able to help me a little."
Jiang Xinxin had thought of many ways to go out with Bai Shuo, but she didn't expect that Bai Shuo would take the initiative to propose it when they met. But she couldn't agree immediately: "But, although I have some boxing skills and some basic knowledge of herbs, I can deal with mortals, but I can't do anything about others. I'm afraid I will be a drag on the second young lady."
As soon as Bai Shuo had this thought, he felt that it was a good idea to let Jiang Xinxin go with him. "Hey Feng Xin, I don't know anything yet. At least you know some martial arts, so you won't be a burden when we're on the road. Who knows, you may be able to help me in the future."
Bai Shuo didn't just casually come up with the idea of letting Jiang Xinxin follow her. She could see that Fan Yue was wary of Jiang Xinxin and even disliked her. She and Fan Yue had just formed an alliance, so she certainly couldn't rely on Fan Yue for everything. So it would be best to choose Jiang Xinxin, who was more fond of her and could make Fan Yue wary.
As for Jiang Xinxin, she didn't bother to figure out whether she was a friend or an enemy. At least on the surface she was on her side, and that was enough with some brains and fists.
Jiang Xinxin left Buji Tower and gained her freedom the day before. Starting from the second day, several poisoning incidents occurred in Anning City. As the city lord, Bai Xun immediately began searching for the poisoned people in the city, wanting to isolate these people to prevent the spread of the toxin.
After discovering that the poison in the city was a demon poison, the Lanling Immortal Sect's immortal envoy Chong Zhao immediately reported it to the sect and requested support.
Jiang Xinxin claimed that she knew some knowledge about herbal medicine, so of course she had to contribute.
But as for the demon poison, ordinary herbs are of no use to it, and even the immortals of Lanling Immortal Sect are helpless. Only the demon clan can cure it.
