The Sea God?

The boy paused for a moment at this point.

Although Zhang Xuanchen and his companions had used Law Technique to alter their appearances and were dressed in fairly ordinary clothes,

However, the demeanor cultivated through years of practice, and the spotless purity of their bodies, still made them seem unlike ordinary people. Unless one is a fool, no one would mistake them for ordinary people.

The boy was no exception.

But he still wanted to give it a try, to attract some customers and bring in some extra income for his family.

He gripped the rope of the fish basket in his hand, took a deep breath,

As if having made up his mind, he spoke rapidly:

"I can tell that you are most likely Immortal Masters!"

My house is simple and cannot compare to the inns in town. If you find it unpleasant, you can simply refuse!

If you agree, please come with me. I will take good care of you; it will be no worse than staying at the inn.

After saying that, the boy closed his eyes tightly, nervously awaiting his fate.

Seeing the young man's resolute and fearless demeanor, Zhang Xuanchen exchanged a glance with Luo Lingshuang beside him, then laughed loudly:

"Haha, you're quite honest, aren't you!"

"Since we've met here, it proves that we are destined to meet."

We'll stay at your place tonight.

He glanced at Luo Lingshuang, Great Sage, and Little Peach behind him, and added:

"But as you can see, there are four of us here."

We need two rooms. Is your house big enough?

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's agreement, the young man suddenly opened his eyes, his dark face filled with surprise and excitement, and he nodded repeatedly.

"It's enough room! My yard isn't big, but my grandma, my sister, and I can all squeeze into one room."

This will free up two clean rooms for our distinguished guests!

Zhang Xuanchen nodded, then looked at the bustling market ahead and casually asked:

"When we pass by over there later, will the innkeepers come and try to steal our customers if they see us following you?"

Should we change into something more plain, so we don't draw too much attention and cause you trouble?

Upon hearing this, the boy paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said:

Thank you for your concern, sir.

But no need!

Our Sea God has a rule: no one can forcibly take customers in Coral Town. Whoever gets a customer first goes with them.

As long as the esteemed guests themselves don't mind my dilapidated house and don't voluntarily suggest leaving, even if they are envious, they would never dare to come and snatch them away.

Similar situations have occurred in the town over the years, but everyone just says I was lucky.

It will not cause any ill intent.

We are all under the protection of the Sea God, and we will not kill each other over such a trivial matter.

At this point, the boy's expression became more serious, and he lowered his voice to kindly remind him:

"By the way, Immortal Master, once you arrive in Coral Town, you must not harm anyone without cause."

This is an ironclad rule set by the Sea God. No matter one's status, anyone who violates it will be punished by the Sea God!

Over the years, many Immortal Masters have been killed by our Sea God for violating the rules and killing ordinary people.

After saying this, the boy smiled and patted the bamboo basket on his back:

"However, as long as you follow the rules, Lord Sea God will not only not harm you, but will also protect you."

Let's go to my house!

Tonight I'll make you braised sea fish, let's eat meat!

Zhang Xuanchen could sense that the young man before him held the so-called Sea God in high esteem.

And it came from the bottom of my heart.

A sense of curiosity arose in his heart, and he nodded, saying:

"Alright, lead the way."

The group followed the boy, walking slowly towards Coral Town along the cobblestone path.

On the way, Luo Lingshuang and Little Peach chatted with the boy for a few minutes.

Zhang Xuanchen also learned that the boy's name was Er Niu, and that he lived with his elderly grandmother and younger sister.

Just as Er Niu said, when the group passed the landing point and the market,

Many innkeepers and cultivators noticed Zhang Xuanchen and his group of four.

Seeing them following behind Er Niu, envious glances were cast around them, after all, Zhang Xuanchen and the others truly possessed an extraordinary aura.

He looks like Immortal Master.

However, no one stepped forward to stop them.

Some familiar people offered their congratulations:

"Hey, Er Niu, you're really lucky today! You've actually picked up four distinguished guests!"

"Haha, this kid's unlucky. He's met a kind person today. He'll make some money, and his family will be able to eat a few decent meals from now on."

Hearing everyone's teasing, Er Niu chuckled and greeted them all the way.

He kept talking about luck.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the surrounding houses gradually became lower.

Er Niu led the group into a secluded alley and stopped in front of a small courtyard gate made of mud, stones and seaweed.

Before even reaching the door, Er Niu couldn't contain his joy.

He shouted at the top of his lungs into the courtyard:

Grandma! Little sister!

Open the door quickly, I've brought a very important guest to our home!

Open the door quickly!

The shout had barely faded when a series of hurried, light footsteps echoed through the courtyard, followed by a clear, childlike voice:

"Elder brother!

Here it comes...

With a creak, the old wooden door was pulled open from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, a thin little girl, about seven or eight years old, with pigtails, peeked out and saw Zhang Xuanchen and his three companions standing outside the door.

She timidly shrank back behind Er Niu.

Zhang Xuanchen and the others followed Er Niu into the courtyard.

His gaze swept around.

The courtyard wasn't large, and the three mud-brick and thatched houses looked somewhat old and simple, but the ground was swept clean.

Firewood was placed in the corner, and all the daily necessities, such as a bamboo rack for drying fishing nets, a water tank, and a stone mill, were readily available.

Despite their poverty, their lives were meticulously organized.

Under the evergreen tree in the center of the courtyard, an elderly woman with a full head of white hair sat on a chair, weaving a straw sandal in her hands.

Hearing the noise, the old lady stopped what she was doing and turned her head in the direction of the footsteps.

A gentle, kind smile appeared on his aged face.

"Er Niu is back..."
