Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Several hours passed...

"Thank you to Young Master Zheng-Fu for guiding me. Your advice has made me realize what I'm lacking. I don't know how to thank you, Young Master Zheng-Fu!?"

After spending hours, the evening finally arrived. Zheng-Fu's group was having a great time, especially Sang-Long. The young man was so happy to be drinking with Mei-Lu. He drank so much that he got drunk and fell asleep. Even Guan-Yong was so drunk that he could barely keep himself steady.

Drink more!

Bottoms up!

"We won't stop until we're drunk right, Comrades?"

"I think you're very drunk, Young Master Guan-Yong. That's enough for you."

"What are you talking about? I only drank one jug; I just refilled it often. Ha ha ha… Burp!"

That's right!

"We're not drunk yet. Let's continue drinking!"

Sigh…

Hehe!

"Young Master Zheng-Fu, where are you from? From what I see, you're definitely not a forest dweller. But... if you're not comfortable saying it, I'm sorry!"

Ever since they talked, Mei-Lu had been very curious and wanted to know about Zheng-Fu— where he came from and who exactly he was, as he seemed so mysterious and unfathomable. Even her clan's special skills in uncovering the truth were useless against him.

"I apologize, Miss Mei-Lu, for not being able to tell. I'm only a low-class person. If anyone finds out where I am, I'm afraid that my family won't be safe."

Zheng-Fu also knew that Mei-Lu was trying to investigate him with some skills, but he did not say anything about it. He was sure that she would not be able to find out anything from him.

Umm!

"Then, I, Mei-Lu, apologize for being rude and asking like that. Hmm, it's getting late now, and it's time for me to go home. Let's meet again next time, sir. I'll be leaving now!" When Mei-Lu saw that she could no longer find more information about Zheng-Fu, she gave up and took a step back. After all, she felt that she would meet Zheng-Fu again.

"Thank you, Miss Mei-Lu, for understanding. Today, I'm very happy to have shared a drink with a beauty like you. If we have a chance to drink together again, it would be great!"

Ah!

"See you, Young Master."

Mei-Lu blushed when she heard Zheng-Fu's words. This was the first time she felt this way, and because of it, she quickly stood up and stepped back from Zheng-Fu before saying goodbye again and hurriedly walking away with her guards.

"She's quite a powerful woman!"

After Mei-Lu left, Zheng-Fu smiled and said to himself in a playful tone before he changed his expression back to calm and looked at the other young men, who were all drunk and unconscious at that time.

Waiter!

Yes, sir, Master!

"Please arrange the best rooms for them and take them to sleep. I'll pay for all the expenses myself!"

Zheng-Fu thought that he should leave that place now because he felt that many mysterious people were watching him, and he could not find out who they were. So, he had to go outside to lure them and then deal with them later. But before that, he had to take care of the accommodation for the young men who were drunk and asleep at the table.

Yes, sir, Master!

"That kid is out. Hurry up and follow him!"

Umm…

A few minutes later, at night, in a trading area of the Demon Empire's capital city...

"Master, what kind of goods are you looking for? Do you want me to introduce you? I, Lu-De, know all kinds of shops and goods in this trading area, sir!"

"Master, choose me! I can help you get a discount!"

"Better hire me, Master. Not only will I help you get a discount, but you will also get a special buy-one-get-one-free offer!"

As soon as Zheng-Fu arrived at the entrance of the trading area, according to the advice of the villagers he asked, he met several middle-aged men offering to be agents to find out and buy goods with their bargaining skills.

As soon as Zheng-Fu arrived at the entrance of the trading area, following the advice of the locals, he met several middle-aged men who offered their services as agents to help him find and buy goods with their bargaining abilities.

"All right, I choose you. Here's your wages!"

In fact, Zheng-Fu did not want an agent to guide him and introduce goods to him. But he had to choose someone because he did not want to appear suspicious to the groups of people secretly following him.

Thank you, Master!

"You can trust me, I won't disappoint you!"

The agent that Zheng-Fu chose was overjoyed because he usually did not get as many clients as everyone else, as his offers to clients were few. Unlike the others, who secretly bribed the shops to get better deals.

"How is it possible?! That guy offered less than us, but he was chosen. Did he use black magic on the client?"

"It's possible. Even though he has more experience than us, the offers he gave to clients were few. If he didn't do that, would that young man choose him?"

"Why are you complaining? That client was just a child. And look at his clothes, he probably couldn't buy much. Let that idiot get him!"

Umm!

That's right!

When one of the agents pointed it out, everyone suddenly realized that fact. They were so busy looking for clients that they forgot to pay attention to Zheng-Fu's attire. But when someone reminded them, they looked at Zheng-Fu's clothes, which looked very ordinary. Seeing that, they stopped paying attention and let the client like him go.

"Master, what kind of goods do you want? I know all the shops in this trading area. Just tell me, Master, and I won't disappoint you!" Zheng-Fu's agent emphasized. He was a middle-aged man in his mid-forties, and he was a second-level of the Genuine Deity Stage cultivator. He was not too strong or too weak for someone of his age with ordinary talent, but he had sharp eyes and was good at using words. If his clients were not Zheng-Fu, they would have been fooled by his words.

"I want some high-quality jade. Can you recommend some to me?"

Zheng-Fu thought for a moment before saying that he wanted jade. He had used quite a bit of his jade in the war against the demon monster beast hordes in Demon's Hill City. Even though he seized some from the treasures of the Mou Clan, it was still too little. The Mou Clan did not collect much jade. Most of their treasures were medicines, treatises, and other valuables. So, Zheng-Fu thought of buying some high-quality jade to keep for future use.

Jade, sir?

"If you want high-quality jade, ... then go to God of Jade Shop. They have a lot of high-quality jade, but..."

"But what? If it's about the price, you don't have to worry. I have the money to pay for it. As long as the jade in this shop is of the quality I want!"

Umm!

Yes, sir, Master!

When the agent heard this, he was relieved. Although he was an agent who would introduce clients to the shops he had made deals with, he also had to consider whether they could afford the payment. If he took the clients to buy things and they had no money to pay, he might lose his business partners.

In a corner, not far from where Zheng-Fu was…

"It seems that many people are interested in this kid. If that's the case, should we continue to follow him?"

"Yes, we should. This is Chief's order. Follow him until we find out his background. If he's really just an ordinary person, we'll withdraw immediately!"

Umm!

"Then I'll be the one to follow him in."

"All right! But you're not allowed to do anything unless ordered, understand?!"

"I understand! I won't go beyond orders. Unless it's a real emergency, in which case I need to take urgent action!"

Umm...

"Then be careful. I'll keep an eye on the other groups."

In addition, the other groups also sent people to closely monitor Zheng-Fu in the trading area. However, there was a rule in that area that fighting was prohibited, and everyone had to expose themselves. They could not be sneaky and secretly follow Zheng-Fu like before, so they had to send only a few people to follow him.

Half an hour passed, at God of Jade Shop...

"Young Master, all of these are high-quality jade in our shop. You can check it out."

When they arrived at the God of Jade Shop, the agent contacted the shop manager to buy high-quality jade. The shop manager immediately arranged a special reception room for Zheng-Fu to negotiate and make a deal.

Umm...

"This is very high-quality jade. How many of these jade pieces does your shop have?"

Zheng-Fu picked up the jade pieces that the shop manager had brought for sale to look at them. He found they were all high-quality, so he wanted to buy all of them that were available in the shop.

"If you count these pieces as well, there are two hundred in total, sir. How many pieces does Young Master want?" The shop manager quickly replied to Zheng-Fu. Although he was hesitant about this client's status, he still negotiated with him calmly and politely.

"What about the price? How much is each piece?"

"A piece of high-quality jade costs two hundred thousand Eternal Coins, sir. If Young Master bought all two hundred pieces, it would cost forty million Eternal Coins. But since you came with Bao-Biao, I'll offer you a special discount, reducing the price to only thirty-five million Eternal Coins!"

The shop manager did not know how much Zheng-Fu was going to buy, but he was sure that Zheng-Fu could not buy all of the high-quality jade in his shop, so he gave such a huge discount.

Hah!?

Five million Eternal Coins discount?!!

Yes, sir!

Of course, Zheng-Fu knew what the shop manager was thinking, but he asked again to confirm it.

"That's great, Master Manager! Then I'll buy all two hundred pieces of high-quality jade that your shop has. And here, ... a total of thirty-five million Eternal Coins is in this dimensional ring. Please check!"

Ah!

The shop manager turned pale when he heard Zheng-Fu agree to buy all the jade. Furthermore, this young man also handed him the payment without giving him time to react. However, since he had already said that he would sell it at that price, he could not change it.

"What's wrong, manager? Did I not give you the full amount?"

Zheng-Fu wanted to laugh at the shop manager out loud. He thought that the manager would suffer a lot of damage from this trade. Normally, the discount would not be this much. At most, it would only be one to two million. There was no way it would be five million.

No, sir!

"The money… is… is… all complete, sir! I'll… I'll have my assistant prepare all the jade for you right now!"

Good!
