"Little melon, little melon, riding with my wife to the fields, not afraid of wind and rain, only afraid of parents scolding me for not having a wife..."

A song rang out.

A "three-eight" bicycle, carrying a romantic pair, rode through the fields. The sun beat down fiercely, and a stream flowed from the upper river into the fields, passing by more than ten acres of watermelons, divided into several areas...

"Sing it again to shut that dog's mouth..." Goddess Nuwa was furious; this guy was really restless.

"Hehe... we're here..." Chen Xuan immediately got off the bike.

Under the scorching sun, many ripe watermelons could burst.

Chen Xuan's parents had rented about five acres, planting a large patch of watermelons. Because the rainfall this year was abundant and the sun was bright, a large number of watermelons were on the market, causing a flood of watermelons.

It was a major overstock; farmers were the ones losing money because every farmer felt good about themselves, thinking whatever they planted would sell well. In the end, they lost everything.

Bang...

Chen Xuan lightly swiped with his finger, and a sandy watermelon split open. He broke it in half and they each took a piece to taste. It was truly sweet and delicious, quite good.

"Although this melon doesn't have spiritual energy, its sweetness is acceptable. There's none in the Primordial World now. When we can return, This Palace will definitely bring some back to plant..." Goddess Nuwa ate a few bites and commented elegantly.

"The market is flooded with watermelons now, and most people can't sell them. At the planting base, no one wants them for two cents a pound. My parents have lost money..." Chen Xuan sighed, having no better sales channels.

Goddess Nuwa shook her head, seemingly having a brilliant plan. She said, "Although This Palace's cultivation is suppressed, my main focus is Creation. I can only use some minor spells to change the watermelons, give them some spiritual energy, and they will definitely sell well..."

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up. He had almost forgotten that Great Goddess Nuwa was here. Upgrading the watermelons to become ordinary spirit melons would definitely elevate their quality by a level.

Someone had already taken seeds to space and returned, their value skyrocketing. The resulting food was even more abundant and developed quickly, proving to be superior.

"This Palace can set up a Spirit Gathering Formation. Do you need the entire area?" Goddess Nuwa made a move, capable of covering a large field, encompassing a range of dozens of miles.

"Not for now. I'm roughly in this area..." Chen Xuan pointed to the ground. Rural areas are complicated; people remember kindness but also grudges. You need to communicate well; you can't act rashly. Otherwise, someone might come at you with a hoe.

"Alright..." Goddess Nuwa wasted no words. She formed a hand seal, emitting mysterious light that fell on the corners of the area. The air subtly began to change.

Whoosh whoosh...

A gentle breeze blew...

Chen Xuan stood within it, feeling refreshed. Although it was far inferior to the Primordial World, the feeling was very good. In less than half an hour, a mass of clouds condensed overhead, and spiritual rain began to fall.

"That's it... Try it again." Goddess Nuwa retracted the Spirit Gathering Formation, very confident.

Chen Xuan punched and shattered a watermelon. After a light taste, the pores all over his body relaxed. It felt as if his entire heat had been doused with a bucket of water, incredibly comfortable, like a cleansing of body and mind.

"So sweet... so refreshing... so healing... eating one bite is like being an immortal," Chen Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Mortal... with your charming ancestor's help, it's naturally not wrong. How do you plan to deal with the watermelons?" Nuwa looked at Chen Xuan quietly, finding him quite amusing.

"I'll go borrow a three-wheeled motorcycle..." Chen Xuan rode his "three-eight" to find the village chief. Only he had a three-wheeled motorcycle.

"Heh heh... what an interesting kid." Goddess Nuwa smiled charmingly.

In the Primordial World, after countless years of monotony, her long-dormant heart seemed to stir. She felt a sense of ease and reliance on this ordinary life.

Perhaps farming wasn't bad either.

Nuwa was immediately shocked. She had only been integrated for half a day, yet such thoughts had arisen. If she had severed karma in the Primordial World long ago, she wouldn't dare to have even the slightest ripple.

Chen Xuan soon returned with the three-wheeled motorcycle. A watermelon, weighing about seven or eight catties, soon filled the entire vehicle.

"Great Goddess Nuwa... do you want to come along? If not, you can go home and wait for me." Chen Xuan glanced at the passenger seat, which could fit one person. Coupled with the goddess exuding an immortal aura, it looked incredibly out of place.

"I must go... This Palace is very curious about this new world. Let's go, take me to sell the melons," Goddess Nuwa casually took her seat.

"Alright!"

Chen Xuan drove the three-wheeled vehicle, with a goddess exuding an ethereal aura by his side, and a cart full of watermelons, speeding towards the city during the hot afternoon tea time.

After more than half an hour...

At a three-way intersection, Chen Xuan took a black pen and found a piece of wood to write the price: Super delicious big watermelons, two yuan per pound, today only...

"Do you need your ancestor's help?" Goddess Nuwa asked.

"No need... My charming ancestor should rest. I can handle it," Chen Xuan quickly replied.

Goddess Nuwa found a patch of grass, where the shade of a tree fell perfectly. She quietly watched Chen Xuan set up his street stall, enjoying the simple and unpretentious mortal life.

"Kid... are you kidding me? Watermelons from the countryside are only two cents a pound, and you're selling them in the city for three or four cents a pound. These are practically rotten goods that no one wants, and you dare to charge two yuan..."

"Scammers are becoming more blatant. Do you think your watermelons are immortal peaches? Only an idiot would buy them..."

An uncle selling peaches nearby mocked him on the spot. Anyone wants to do business, engage in trade; it's not something fools can play with.

"If you can't afford it, don't eat it. See if you've worked hard enough and if your salary has increased..." Chen Xuan retorted impatiently.

"Fine, fine... Young man, don't be arrogant. Society will teach you how to be a person. If you can sell even a few watermelons, I'll be your ox or horse..." The uncle snorted and returned to his stall.

Chen Xuan ignored him. Watermelons irrigated with spiritual energy could not be sold so cheaply.

"Young man... how much are the watermelons?" Some passing aunties couldn't help but ask, as they were near a residential area.

"Two yuan per pound." Chen Xuan moved aside slightly, revealing the sign. The aunties hadn't seen the price.

"Young man... down the street, there are three stalls selling watermelons for fifty cents a pound. If it weren't for the fact that this place is closer to home, I wouldn't even look at you. Now you're charging two yuan a pound, do you think I'm a fool?"

The auntie cursed, calling him a greedy kid. With a shout, she attracted more passing aunties and some pedestrians. Seeing the price, they all shook their heads.

"It's... a watermelon that should cost fifty cents at most, and you're selling it for two dollars, only today, you might as well take it back and pass it down as an heirloom!"

"It's... my grandson wants to eat it, he cries and throws tantrums all day. I was going to buy two, but seeing how you do business, you won't sell a single one..."

"Let's disperse! We'll buy them another time..."

The aunties' chatter was very much like a heckling crowd, attracting some onlookers. No one wanted to be the sucker; after all, a two-dollar watermelon was more than triple the price. Was this person just robbing them?

After they pointed and talked for a few sentences, everyone dispersed...

Chen Xuan didn't care. He had spirit melons in hand; as long as someone knew their worth, he could sell them. But by the time the sun began to set and the sky was filled with evening clouds, not a single person had bought one...

Would he really not sell a single watermelon today?

"Brother... you're selling this melon for two dollars, is there anything special about it?"

Just as Chen Xuan was about to pack up and go home, a clear voice rang out, accompanied by a stunning figure. She was wearing a red suit and a pair of sunglasses, looking like a city socialite, and she showed a hint of curiosity.

"The wonder of this melon can only be known by those who have tasted it. You can try a piece." Chen Xuan was not stingy and directly took out a knife to cut one open.

The woman took a gentle bite. A refreshing, soul-cleansing comfort spread through her, flowing through her internal organs and limbs, leaving her greatly shocked.

"How is this possible?" The woman's small mouth gaped, and she took off her sunglasses in astonishment.

"Nothing is impossible. This is the wisdom of our ancestors..." Chen Xuan said with a mysterious smile.

"Alright, alright... I'll take this whole cart of watermelons... Please deliver them to the Junyue Grand Hotel not far from here." The woman was truly surprised and immediately bought them all.

"Okay..."

Chen Xuan didn't say another word. Before the astonished eyes of the uncle next to him, he delivered them to the Junyue Grand Hotel. The payment was settled on the spot. Nine hundred jin of watermelon brought in eighteen hundred dollars. In an era where monthly incomes were around two to three thousand dollars, this was an absolutely substantial income.

"Ancestor... let's go back..." Chen Xuan returned, bringing Great Goddess Nuwa home with him.

"This, this, this..."

The uncle selling peaches was completely stunned...

Not only did this guy sell all his watermelons, but he also had a beautiful girlfriend. Heaven was truly unfair
