Chapter 19: Encountering Zhang Sen

Translator: 549690339

The Night Mist Mountain Range was extremely famous.

It was due to its wealth of resources, with rumors saying that even an average Spirit Grass from deep within the Night Mist Mountain Range could sell for tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

Although there were many Demonic Beasts inside, it still couldn’t stop people from dreaming of overnight riches.

Most people still had some self-awareness.

How easy was it to enter the deep regions of the Night Mist Mountain Range?

Of course, on the outskirts of the Night Mist Mountain Range, many adventurers chose to make their living.

Occasionally harvesting some Spirit Grass or hunting Demonic Beasts to sell their Demonic Beast Inner Cores could provide a decent living.

If it weren’t for the abundance of resources near the Night Mist Mountain Range, Nanshan Market would not be of its current scale.

Therefore, the beast tides of the Night Mist Mountain Range had become something everyone was accustomed to.

After all, the Night Mist Mountain Range was huge, and with hordes of Demonic Beasts inside, it was only natural for groups of them to emerge in search of food, leading to beast tides now and then.

On average, Nanshan Market faced a beast tide every few years, so they were no longer surprised by them.

This time, they hadn’t walked far before running into the same vendor selling candied hawthorns as last time.

So, each holding a skewer, the two strolled down the street.

They kept wandering until noon when Lin Jing took Luo Luo to a restaurant for lunch.

Afterwards, they wandered around aimlessly for a while and, finding it uninteresting, decided to head home.

Walking along, Lin Jing suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“My luck is truly bad today; I’ve lost everything.”

“Brother, you really shouldn’t have bet on that last one.”

“What’s the use of saying that now? Why didn’t you dissuade me back then?”

“Sigh…”

A heavy sigh followed.

The two people in this conversation turned out to be the brothers Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin.

“Listening to them, they must have gone gambling,” Lin Jing said with a frown. He had previously had a good impression of Zhang Sen but hadn’t expected him to gamble.

If that were the case, it was very likely that everything Luo Luo had said before was true.

At this moment, Zhang Sen also noticed them, his eyes lit up, and he walked over.

“Brother Lin,” he called out from a distance.

Luo Luo, hearing the voice, frowned and quickly hid behind Lin Jing, attempting to avoid someone she disliked.

Unfortunately, Zhang Sen had already seen her,

“Luo Luo is here too. Why don’t you say hello to your uncle?” he asked.

However, the young girl ignored him.

Zhang Sen didn’t mind.

“Brother Lin, when did Luo Luo become so close to you? It seems the neighborhood relationship between your two families has developed quite nicely,” he said, winking at Lin Jing insinuatingly.

“Brother Zhang, you’re thinking too much. Ning Yue had something to attend to temporarily, so I’m just looking after Luo Luo,” Lin Jing clarified.

“I understand, I understand.”

“Ning Yue really trusts you to take care of Luo Luo. It seems the relationship between Brother Lin and Ning Yue has become quite extraordinary,” Zhang Sen continued, apparently misunderstanding Lin Jing’s words.

“Although Ning Yue might not be very good-looking, she’s thrifty and a fine woman.”

“Brother Lin, when you hold the wedding banquet, let me know. I’ll definitely come to offer my congratulations,” Zhang Sen said.

“You bad person, you’re talking nonsense…” Luo Luo, who had been hiding behind Lin Jing, now stood out, her face flushed red with indignation at the rebuttal.

She was clearly angered, aware of what a wedding banquet implied.

“Okay, okay…”

“I’m the bad person; I’m talking nonsense. Luo Luo, don’t be angry,” Zhang Sen quickly tried to appease her.

He certainly didn’t dare to upset the little Miss. If she got angry and complained to Ning Yue, he wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences.

“Brother Zhang, is there anything else? If not, we’ll be heading back,” Lin Jing said, clearly unhappy.

But Zhang Sen seemed not to hear the displeasure.

“Brother Lin, it’s an emergency in the jianghu…” he said.

“Could you lend me a few more Spirit Stones? I’ll pay back the one I borrowed last time in a few days.”
