Rescuing Wang Shi
"So, I thought I'd come here to be a wet nurse, so there would be fewer mouths to feed at home, and I could send Silver Soul Coin home every month so my eldest son could have money to go to the city to buy ointment for his father, and even hire a doctor from the city to come and treat his father."
After Wang Shi finished speaking, Zhou Qing asked the other pregnant women and found that their situations were similar: they all came from poor families and wanted to reduce household expenses.
Zhou Qing frowned deeply—
To be a wet nurse for Dales's child?
But as far as he knew, Dales was not married yet. Could it be that the child was born to a lover?
Also, if they really wanted to find a wet nurse, couldn't they just look for one in Falling Star City? Why go to a small village? And specifically, within the territory of Heaven Dou?
Thinking of the three books Tang San found in the secret room of Dales's mansion, "Safe Pregnancy for Expectant Mothers," "The Fetal Development," and "The State Before the Martial Soul Awakening: Hypothesis," Zhou Qing frowned more and more deeply and said to Wang Shi, "Auntie Wang, I think there's something wrong with this... How about this, I've made a new friend in Falling Star City, why don't you come with me to find her?"
"Really? Okay, I'll go to your friend's place." Without hesitation, Wang Shi clearly trusted Zhou Qing more than this Lead Goat.
"No!"
The Lead Goat looked anxious. This was the city lord's order, and if even one of them was missing, they would be punished. "We brothers have gone to great lengths to safely escort them here, and we even prepared the best carriages. You think you can just take her away like this? Isn't that a huge disrespect to us?"
"You want an escort fee? I'll pay it," Zhou Qing said.
"Give it to me? Can you afford it?"
The Lead Goat sneered, "Don't even think about taking her away without a hundred Gold Soul Coin!"
Zhou Qing gave the other person a deep look, then took out ninety-nine Gold Soul Coin and eight Silver Soul Coin from the Gray Pouch at his waist.
The man was stunned. "Storage Soul Tool!?"
This is something that ordinary Soul Master cannot possess!
Who is this kid?
After much deliberation, the Lead Goat hesitated for a moment, but still said, "We're still short two Silver Soul Coin!"
"Look, didn't you just swat two of them away? Pick them up yourself."
Zhou Qing grinned, ignoring the other party's unpleasant expression and the city gate guards surrounding him. With a tremor of his hand, he scattered the stacked ninety-nine Gold Soul Coin and eight Silver Soul Coin onto the ground. "Sorry, my hand trembled, but here are one hundred Gold Soul Coin. Pick them up yourselves!"
"You bastard!" The Lead Goat was furious. He waved his hand, and everyone around him released their Martial Soul, all of them with white Soul Ring.
Zhou Qing chuckled, completely unafraid, and winked at Ning Rongrong, who was standing in the distance.
"What are you doing?"
Ning Rongrong gave a sharp shout and stepped forward.
"Little friend, this is none of your business." The Lead Goat somewhat knowledgeable and noticed that Ning Rongrong's clothes were made of expensive fabric, so he didn't want to cause trouble.
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? I'm here to help those in need. I saw everything you did just now. You were bullying others with your power, and I couldn't stand by and watch!" Ning Rongrong put one hand on her hip and pointed at the Lead Goat, her finger bent downwards. "Now, kneel down and apologize to him."
"Hmph, some spoiled brat?" The Lead Goat gestured to his companion, signaling him to teach Ning Rongrong a lesson. After all, in Falling Star City, no matter how powerful the noble family behind this girl was, they couldn't be more powerful than the city lord!
"Oh ho! You actually want to hit me?"
Ning Rongrong did not back down at all. Instead, she raised her head and looked at the Soul Master came up in front of her and reached out to grab her, her eyes filled with disdain.
"How dare you!"
In an instant, a loud shout rang out, and then a blur of motion flew over from afar, kicking away the person who dared to reach out to Ning Rongrong.
Yellow and purple!
Four Soul Ring floated up!
Following closely behind, the other Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Disciple who were secretly protecting Ning Rongrong also revealed themselves, either Martial Soul Possession or releasing their Martial Soul.
White, yellow, yellow, purple!
Yellow, yellow, yellow, purple!
They were all Soul Ancestor!
In addition, there is another person who possesses five Soul Ring Soul Ring, with a color scheme of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black, including a ten-thousand-year-level Soul Ring!
Instantly, the Lead Goat of the group was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his Martial Soul and hurriedly Bowing Body with the others, saying, "Greetings, Lord Soul King!"
"Kneel down! Apologize to our Miss Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
The Soul King's voice Great Bell, and his tone left no room for argument, as if if the other party dared to utter even half a word of "no," he would kill them on the spot!
How dare that "Lead Goat" disobey?
He had no choice but to obediently kneel down.
The guards at the North Gate were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground and dared not even look at Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong walked up to him, bent over, and gave him a sly smile, saying, "Well, I still prefer your unruly attitude from earlier."
"I wouldn't dare! I beg you, young lady, to treat me like a fart and let me go!" The Lead Goat only begged this disciple from a major sect to spare his life.
"I don't have a fart as smelly as yours."
Ning Rongrong bypassed the Lead Goat and came to Zhou Qing. She glanced at Wang Shi, who was kneeling with the others, and the other pregnant women, then looked back at Zhou Qing and said with a grin, "Why aren't you kneeling?"
This little girl is really into acting!
Zhou Qing thought to himself, but said aloud, "Thank you for your help, young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is indeed as great as the rumors say. Only a school like this could have nurtured such Soul Grandmaster with a heart of justice like you!"
"Hehe!" Ning Rongrong squinted her eyes and laughed brightly (#^.^#). "I love hearing that, but what's with all these pregnant women?"
Zhou Qing then told Ning Rongrong about the situation of Wang Shi and the others.
"Is that so?" Ning Rongrong nodded and said to the Soul King behind her, "Give each of these pregnant women a Gold Soul Coin."
"Thank you, Miss!"
The pregnant women were all extremely grateful.
Wang Shi was in the same boat, but when she was about to go with the other pregnant women to the nearby post station to find a carriage, Zhou Qing, who was on the lookout, stopped her and said, "Auntie Wang, Uncle Wang is seriously ill. Why don't you come with me to see that friend first? A Gold Soul Coin will eventually run out."
After thinking it over, Wang Shi agreed. After all, her husband was so badly injured. Medicine in the city was expensive, and it would take more than one trip to the countryside to get a doctor to examine him. Although a Gold Soul Coin was a lot, it might not be enough. They really needed to find a way to increase their income.
Afterwards, Zhou Qing also asked Wang Shi to tell the pregnant women in the other villages that they could come along. However, Wang Shi was not very familiar with them, and they were different from Wang Shi. They were unfamiliar with Falling Star City and did not have any acquaintances like Zhou Qing. They just wanted to return to their hometown as soon as possible and send the money home to solve their immediate problem.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing didn't try to persuade them further, only telling them not to be stingy and to hire a larger carriage to go back together...
