"How is this possible? We signed a contract, I don't believe it..."
Someone stubbornly redialed, only to be scolded again. They turned deathly pale, and a small farmer, upon hearing about compensation for losses, immediately lost all composure.
The Milin Hotel's rogue behavior, not only refusing to buy the watermelons but also demanding compensation for recent losses, made the villagers' heads buzz. How could everything change in just one night?
Those who had originally mocked Chen Xuan were now red-faced and burning with shame, realizing they were the clowns.
"Find Chen Xuan... he must have a way to help us..."
"Right, right... I think Chen Xuan, that scoundrel, messed with things. It's impossible for them to reject us overnight, there must be something fishy going on..."
"Are you out of your mind? How would Chen Xuan screw you over? We were the ones who tore up the contract. Now, we can only beg him to sell our watermelons. Let's not cause trouble for now, let's go see what he has to say..."
A group of people rioted, filled with anger, wanting to shift the blame onto Chen Xuan. However, a few individuals, who understood the situation, decided to assess it first.
They set off in a large group, once again heading towards Chen Xuan's house. They didn't find him there and, after inquiring, learned he had gone to the watermelon field. They rushed there in a hurry.
Chen Xuan was driving his three-wheeled vehicle, bringing Madam Nuwa back with him. They were surrounded by a group of people halfway there. If they hadn't been familiar faces, he would have thought they were ambushed.
"What are you doing?" Chen Xuan asked angrily.
"Uh... Chen Xuan! Are you still buying our watermelons for two yuan? Everyone is willing to give them to you now. You win this time, you can earn one yuan from us..."
"Yes... we'll let you sell them all for us. We were wrong this time, and you wouldn't want all of everyone's hard work to rot in the fields, would you?"
"Right, right... you must help us sort this out. Tell us what to do, and we'll definitely listen. We heard you're going to be the village chief, we'll all vote for you tomorrow..."
"Chen Xuan... we realize we were wrong, please help us, we're all from the same village..."
The villagers were outwardly polite, showing no real remorse, as if everything was a given. Chen Xuan earning an extra yuan was considered their act of kindness, for which they expected gratitude.
"Little Xuanzi..." the old village chief said with a bitter smile, truly not wanting to deal with this mess!
"Heh heh..." Chen Xuan chuckled. "I appreciate your past kindness, but that doesn't mean you can morally blackmail me into helping. It's impossible..."
He directly drove his three-wheeled vehicle away, leaving the villagers staring at each other. Some even cursed him as an ungrateful wretch...
In the passenger seat, Madam Nuwa smiled slightly and said, "According to your usual nature, shouldn't you have agreed? You're the village's good old man..."
Chen Xuan shook his head and said coldly, "They must pay for their own mistakes. Anyway, the loss isn't too great, they just need to learn their lesson. If they act up again next time, they won't get any more opportunities to make money..."
Madam Nuwa smiled and looked into the distance. This young man had many thoughts. If he could return to the Primordial World and travel the lands, he might achieve great things...
Chen Xuan indeed had some ideas. He wanted to go treasure hunting in the Primordial World. He heard that in the early days of the Primordial World, treasures could be found just by going out. He wondered if he could bring back any heaven-defying spiritual treasures.
In just one day...
Many people had come to cause trouble several times, only to be driven away by his parents. Back then, they had brought tables, chairs, hoes, sickles, axes, hammers, and other weapons, intending to tear up the contract with no room for negotiation!
A kindness that gives a peck of rice can be forgotten when a bushel is owed.
After understanding the reality, future cooperation and development would be more reasonable...
Chen Xuan lay on his bed, playing with his phone. He checked his KouKou space. He had been very busy lately and almost forgot about the ginseng. He found that a group of people had indeed left messages...
"Holy crap... grandson... where did you dig up this ginseng? Is it a radish? It can't be this big. Don't eat fake medicine and go to the emergency room..."
"What a thick one. It must feel great to play with. Is it a thousand years old? It's like a ginseng baby. Classmate Chen Xuan... my family has an old hen, bring it over tonight to stew..."
"Chen Xuan... is this really ginseng you have? It's as thick as a baby's arm. How much is it? My old man urgently needs it..."
"Pfft... what is this? Ginseng... what if this thing kills someone?"
A pile of messages appeared in his KouKou space, mostly from classmates. Among them was the campus goddess, a true beauty, whom he hadn't contacted in two years.
"Okay... you can come to my place to see the goods." Chen Xuan replied immediately. He got up and took a wooden box from the cabinet. It was the ginseng as thick as a small arm.
"Can you deliver it to University Town? I have an urgent matter and can't leave..." the other party quickly replied via private message to Chen Xuan.
"Alright... give me your number, I'll deliver it tomorrow..." Chen Xuan put the ginseng back. He felt a bit of anticipation for University Town, as it represented the vitality of young people and brought back many past memories.
"Okay... see you tomorrow!" the campus beauty quickly responded.
The next day...
Madam Nuwa woke up early and floated on the rooftop, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. She even transformed into her original form of a human head and snake body, surrounded by colorful light, with the aura of the Great Dao shimmering. The entire Chen Family Village was bathed in a myriad of colorful clouds...
"Madam Nuwa... aren't you afraid of being seen revealing your true form?" Chen Xuan reminded her.
Madam Nuwa retracted her colorful spiritual power, took a deep breath of clear air, and transformed into a white modern dress, with hair like a waterfall, a pair of slender jade legs, and elegant white high heels. She stood gracefully...
"How is it? I learned this from an advertisement recently. I truly have the presence of a perfect goddess..." Madam Nuwa turned around narcissistically, looking stunning and outstanding. Even without photo editing, big stars couldn't compare even a little.
"Also... my supreme true form is the manifestation of the Dao. Mortals are not qualified to glimpse it, unless I choose to let them see..."
Madam Nuwa's lips curved upwards. She was very much like a modern woman, easily blending into modern society. Women's learning ability was truly terrifying...
No wonder the heavens and earth were less and less repulsed by Nuwa; she had integrated into everyday life.
"Very beautiful... a mature older sister type. Madam Nuwa... you're so skilled? If I can't find a wife in the future, you have to help me mold one..." Chen Xuan said with a hint of grievance.
"Oh?" Madam Nuwa's eyes sharpened as she looked at him. He was thinking of other beauties while in her presence!
"Ahem... because you are too stunning, my standards have become too high... ordinary women are hard to impress. You must mold a perfect female immortal for me as a wife." Chen Xuan answered bluntly.
"Fine... I'll definitely mold a perfect goddess for you, just like me." Madam Nuwa gritted her teeth.
"It must be..." Chen Xuan's tail was practically wagging.
"Blasphemy against the gods, you shall surely die..."
"No... don't come any closer!"
Chen Xuan, bruised and battered from a beating, felt incredibly wronged. A Grand Unity Golden Immortal striking out at a mortal who couldn't even lift a chicken – could you call this a turn of events?
On the highway...
A three-wheeled motorcycle sped forward...
It was heading towards University Town, which had been quite lively recently due to a gala being held. A scene of youthful beauty, feeling the energy of the young.
"Is this University Town? So much youthful energy, This Palace seems to like it here." Nuwa gazed around, dazzled. It was a shame her cultivation was suppressed; otherwise, she could instantly grasp all information about Earth.
"Indeed... wait in the car for a bit, I'll go and come right back." Chen Xuan glanced at his phone. They had arranged to meet under the ancient Centennial Tree on campus. His former campus belle had become a university teacher.
"Scram!" Nuwa said enthusiastically. Everything she saw was fascinating. She exuded a mature, confident aura, her exceptional temperament easily drawing people in.
Chen Xuan strode into the school. The vibrant university truly evoked clear, nostalgic memories. This was an age of unbridled energy and spirit...
"Chen Xuan... over here!"
He saw a beautiful figure in the distance. She wore a light yellow dress, her hair tied in a ponytail, her slender, willow-like figure drawing the admiring glances of many male students.
"Dongfang Qianqian... are you really teaching at the university?" Chen Xuan was a little surprised, as she came from an official family, and usually, they went into politics.
"Yes! And you?" Dongfang Qianqian greeted him with a smile.
"Yo... Chen Xuan, is that really you! I heard your company went bankrupt, your girlfriend ran off with some rich second-generation heir, and took all your assets. Is that true?"
A discordant voice rang out. A woman with some looks approached, holding two ice creams. Her name was Zhang Li, a close friend of Dongfang Qianqian.
The two beauties stood together, exuding immense charm, particularly their long legs on display as they stood side-by-side, elegant and slender.
"None of your damn business..." Chen Xuan's face instantly darkened. He had no intention of indulging her.
