Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss



"Shopkeeper, I'm just asking on behalf of a friend. It's fine if you don't know. Don't be nervous." Seeing the shopkeeper so nervous, Ling Chuxi could not bear it and comforted him. She also handed him a five-colored spirit stone to help him calm down.

However, she was even more curious. She had heard from elder Huang about what had happened in Haojia village. Although it was a little strange and bizarre, it was not enough to make people's expressions change. How many secrets were hidden in this small apricot Sun City?

Seeing that Ling Chuxi no longer asked any more questions and handed over another five-colored spirit stone, the shopkeeper's expression finally became a little better. He hesitated for a moment, but still took the five-colored spirit stone. Business was not good, and he was still waiting for the rice to be put into the pot.

"Old Lin, business is not bad today?" Just as the shopkeeper received the spirit stones, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a guard kick open the door and swagger in with two of his subordinates.

"Manager Wang." The shopkeeper's expression changed when he saw the middle-aged man, and he forced a smile.

"Old Lin, you're quite lucky today to have met two potential customers. Shouldn't you be paying your tax for this month?" Steward Wang stared at the five-colored spirit stone in the shopkeeper's hand and said with a fake smile.

"Steward Wang, there are still a few days until the end of the month. I'll personally deliver it to you after a few days." The shopkeeper said carefully.

"The city Lord has ordered that the city Lord's mansion is in urgent need of money, so this month's tax money has been collected in advance." Steward Wang's nostrils were raised as he glanced at the shopkeeper.

"Mr. Manager, you know what happened to my family. My poor grandson has been sick in bed and is waiting to buy pills to treat his illness. Please do a good deed and give him two more days." The shopkeeper begged.

"Hmph, if I knew you would spend all your money on that tuberculosis-stricken person, I would have arrived earlier today." Steward Wang snatched the five-colored spirit stone from his hand.

"Master manager, master manager, this is the money to save my grandson's life. Please do me a favor ..." The manager said anxiously and subconsciously went forward to snatch it.

"Stop talking nonsense with me. Do your business well and prepare the tax money for next month." Steward Wang kicked him in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground. Then, he turned around and left with a cold smile on his face.

"You ... You ... I'm going to kill you!" The shopkeeper was anxious and angry. His wrinkled face was red. He got up, picked up the broom, and rushed toward steward Wang.

"You still dare to make a move!" Steward Wang's face darkened and he struck the shopkeeper's chest with his palm.

"Stop!" Ling Chuxi moved her feet and stood in front of the shopkeeper. With a slap, she sent steward Wang flying. She could tell that the shopkeeper was only at the true essence realm, an ordinary person in the heaven domain. However, steward Wang was at the peak of the monarch realm. If he died, the shopkeeper would be half-dead.

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Ling Chuxi only felt that there was something strange about this apricot Sun City. She had not wanted to be a busybody, but when she saw that steward Wang, a peak monarch level master, had actually dealt such a heavy blow to an ordinary person, and an old man at that, she could not bear to watch.

From steward Wang's words, he should be someone from the city Lord's mansion, so it was reasonable for him to collect taxes. However, the reason why apricot Sun City had fallen to such a state was all because of the city Lord's prohibition. It was fine if he did not treat the people well, but he actually allowed his servants to bully the people. Ling Chuxi could not bear it anymore.
