Oh damn, I hit the wrong person

"What happened?" Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman asked in confusion. He had traded with many close friends in this treasure vault. More than twenty friends had come into contact with the bamboo shoots, but none of them had reacted like Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang scratched his head and said, "This bamboo shoot turned into a big stick and beat me up!"

He felt dizzy and lightheaded, with stars flashing before his eyes.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "..."

Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman: "..."

It seems that Bamboo Shoot and Song Shuhang are at odds. The moment Bamboo Shoot met Song Shuhang, he actually tried to trick him.

But it's strange.

Song Shuhang is clearly a good person; everyone in the group has always had a good opinion of Song Shuhang. Why did Zhusun immediately want to beat Song Shuhang up the moment they met?

Just as the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman was puzzled, the Little Bamboo Shoot suddenly trembled.

Then a thought was transmitted into the mind of the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman.

The Little Bamboo Shoot's thought process translated to something like this, "Holy crap... sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

"What?" The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman was stunned.

"Well... I'm sorry, I punched the wrong person just now," said Little Bamboo Shoot.

The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman's lips twitched.

You punched the wrong person!

When did the Little Bamboo Shoot become so human-like?

Throughout his interactions with the Little Bamboo Shoot, their conversations were always intermittent, as if the little bamboo shoot had just begun to develop intelligence.

Even when we agreed to find it a new owner, we couldn't communicate effectively and it took a lot of effort.

But during the exchange just now, the Little Bamboo Shoot's intelligence had already been fully developed... And, it just said it mistook someone for someone else? It seems this Little Bamboo Shoot knew many 'people' before.

Sure enough, he had picked up another troublesome thing. The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman rubbed his temples.

"Seven Lives Talisman, please help me apologize to that young Daoist!" Little Bamboo Shoot's voice continued.

The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman sighed deeply, "Well, young friend Shuhang, this bamboo shoot just said, 'Sorry, I mistook you for someone else. So, I beat up the wrong person.'"

Song Shuhang stared at Senior Seven Lives Talisman: "..."

The manor lord felt embarrassed by Shuhang's stare, so he turned his head and glanced at the Little Bamboo Shoot.

The Little Bamboo Shoot felt embarrassed under the manor lord's watchful gaze.

A moment later, the Little Bamboo Shoot shook itself and dropped a leaf. At the same time, it sent a thought to the manor lord.

The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman took the bamboo shoot leaf and handed it to Song Shuhang: "Ahem, young friend Shuhang, as an apology, I'm giving you this bamboo shoot leaf. Don't underestimate this leaf; it can save your life in a critical moment!"

Song Shuhang took the bamboo shoot leaf and said, "Alright, I'll accept his apology."

Just then, the Little Bamboo Shoot slammed the box shut, seemingly embarrassed.

"Cough cough cough." Seven Lives Talisman coughed twice, then pointed to the two boxes in front of him and said to Song Shuhang, "So, young friend Song Shuhang, which of these two treasures do you prefer? Of course, if you don't like either of them, there are so many things in my treasure vault, take whatever you like. I guarantee that what you get in the end will be worth more than, if not less than, the 'Blood God Diamond'!"

After thinking for a moment, Song Shuhang pointed to the second box and said, "Let's take this Puppet Silver Dragon."

The Replica Binding Immortal Rope, while quite impressive, isn't very useful for Song Shuhang at this stage.

With his current equipment, Talisman Treasure, and elixirs, if he encounters an enemy he can defeat, he won't need the Immortal Binding Immortal Rope at all.

Even the Immortal Binding Immortal Rope is useless against enemies that cannot be defeated. For example, if the opponent is Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor, the Immortal Binding Immortal Rope can only bind them for a short time. In that short time, Song Shuhang will not be able to escape at all.

So, let's stick with this Puppet Silver Dragon.

Since puppets aren't considered living beings, they can be stored in a 'Inch-Shrinking Bag'. They can be taken out when needed, which is perfect for him.

More importantly, Song Shuhang remembered that the 'Puppet Black Dragon' in the Magma Cavern still possessed certain combat capabilities.

"Alright, transaction complete!" The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman picked up the large box and handed it to Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang took out the Inch-Shrinking Bag and put the large box and the Puppet Silver Dragon into it.

Transaction complete!

At this moment, Young Master Phoenix Slayer spoke up, "Fellow Seven Lives Talisman, are you interested in trading your Binding Immortal Rope?"

"Fellow Phoenix Slayer wants it?" the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman asked. "If you want it, you can trade with me for something of equal value."

"Haha, I happen to have some good stuff here. Fellow Seven Lives Talisman, do you need anything?" Young Master Phoenix Slayer took out a small bag.

It looks like it's an Inch-Shrinking Bag.

The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman leaned over and glanced into the bag, saying with satisfaction, "These are all good stuff. Give me five portions, and the transaction is complete."

"Deal, pleasant cooperation." Young Master Phoenix Slayer took out five crimson objects from the bag, handed them to the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman, and then took the Immortal Binding Immortal Rope.

Both of them showed expressions of satisfaction.

Although I know that the two seniors were trading something perfectly legitimate.

But for some reason, the scene of the two seniors trading together always reminded Song Shuhang of the kind of scene where 'selling pornographic DVDs' were being traded.

"The transaction is complete, let's go. There's a 'Cultivator Trade Conference' coming up later; we might find some good stuff," said the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman. Then, as if remembering something, he said to Song Shuhang, "Young friend Shuhang, you must stick close to Senior White. If Senior White finds something he likes, remember it. If you have the chance, go and sweep those things up; they're guaranteed to be good stuff!"

Song Shuhang smiled. He only had three Spirit Stones in his pocket, which was a consolation prize given to him by Venerable White after the Nine Provinces Number One Group finished off the Blood Demon.

What can you buy with three Spirit Stones at the 'Cultivator Trade Conference'?

The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman and Young Master Phoenix Slayer took off on their swords, leaving with Song Shuhang.

The three of them left the tortoise shell and flew towards the ground.

On the way back, Song Shuhang suddenly felt a chill run through his body...

"Here we go again."

Is the Spirit Ghost still playing with penguins and building snowmen in South Pole?

It's so cold! I'm playing in the mud in Northeast China.

Pooh!

Once we get out, we need to go find the Spirit Ghost immediately.

******************************

At this moment, in a corner of the Indigenous Island.

A minivan was surrounded by several indigenous groups.

Inside the car, two disciples of the Chu Household rubbed their temples with wry smiles. They had been sent to this small island by Senior White's flying sword. Then, they were immediately surrounded by several natives on the island who were responsible for 'keeping watch'.

With the strength of the two Chu Household, dealing with these natives would be a piece of cake. However, they knew that these natives were protected by a senior, so they couldn't afford to be violent towards them.

Fortunately, the natives did not intend to use force.

The indigenous people simply surrounded the car, then, looking quite interested, cautiously reached out to touch it, and then began to whisper amongst themselves.

The two Chu Household disciples smiled wryly. Now they could only wait for Senior White to arrive, or for the senior who was protecting the island to appear.

"Ouch!" At that moment, a painful cry came from the back of the van.

Was it the tall man who woke up?

Sima Jiang rubbed his head. He vaguely remembered that his delivery truck had suddenly gone out of control, overturned, and then he had passed out.

What's going on now?

Sima Jiang opened his eyes and found himself inside a huge minivan.

He immediately looked to the side, and then Sima Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The huge delivery box was still there.

"Uncle, you're awake." The female Chu Household the Chu family turned around, her eyes bright and her smile sweet.

Her smile is the kind that instantly dispels any hostility one might feel upon seeing it.

"Ah, hello." Sima Jiang touched his still throbbing forehead. "Did you save me? Where am I?"

"We'd like to know the answer to that question too," the female disciple from the Chu Household shrugged.

"?" Sima Jiang looked out the window in confusion.

Then he saw several dark-skinned cavemen circling the car and stroking it.

"Holy shit!" Sima Jiang exclaimed instinctively.

Where did these primitive people come from? There's definitely no human species like this within the territory of China, right?

Sima Jiang's voice wasn't loud, but the natives outside had excellent hearing and quickly heard his call.

"This...sir...swearing is wrong!" one of the primitives said, staring into Sima Jiang's eyes through the car window.

Although the pronunciation is a bit unclear, it's correct; it's definitely China.

Sima Jiang: "..."

Did I mishear? Or was it that the savages' language sounds similar to China, and it just sounded like a misheard word to me?

At this moment, another native coughed, waved to Sima Jiang and the two Chu Household disciples inside the carriage, and said, "Ahem, Confucius said: 'It is impolite not to reciprocate when friends come from afar!'"

Sima Jiang: "..."

Damn, it really is China!

Furthermore, isn't the next line after "A friend comes from afar" "Isn't that a joy?"? What kind of nonsense is this, "It is impolite not to reciprocate"?

"Idiot, Da Gen, you've got it wrong. Keep your voice down, or you'll get a slap on the palm again!" a local shouted from the side.

The native named 'Da Gen' quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Sima Jiang rubbed his temples; these natives could actually speak Chinese.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the two Chu Household: "Young man, young lady, shall we get out of the carriage and take a look? These people seem to be able to communicate?"

"Alright," the male disciple nodded.

Although they were only at the First-Grade Second Aperture strength, dealing with these natives was no problem for them, so they had nothing to fear.

"Then, I'll get out first. You all stay in the car and see how things go," Sima Jiang said. He then opened the car door and got out Vigilance.

At this moment, a more benign-looking native stepped forward and gestured for them to come this way. "Confucius said: Friends, please come this way!"
