Chapter 3485: Martial Aunt (2)

“Are you two trying to raise him to be a sissy?” Pan Chen asked as he toyed with Xiao Huo’s hair.

Ning Shu: …

She knew she should have cut that hair.

Mei Ziqing’s face darkened. “I will raise him however I want.”

“Strictly speaking, he and I are both in the category of spirits. We are the same kind,” Pan Chen said.

Ning Shu gave a smiling face. “So?”

“So he should follow me. I will teach him a few things,” Pan Chen stated.

When someone shows unprompted kindness, they were either a fraud or a thief. Either way, this guy had no good intentions.

Furthermore, this fellow had absolutely no sense of right and wrong and was incredibly impulsive.

If she really handed Xiao Huo over to this guy, Xiao Huo would be devoured before long.

Ning Shu let out a cold laugh. With a flick of her finger, she directly bounced Pan Chen out of the City of Water.

When he was sent flying, he kept a tight grip on Xiao Huo’s hair, trying to drag Xiao Huo away with him.

Mei Ziqing held onto Xiao Huo tightly. Xiao Huo’s hair was being yanked so hard he bared his teeth in pain.

With a point of her finger, Ning Shu formed a water blade and sliced right through the hair.

Pan Chen was pushed out of the City of Water by Ning Shu and vanished instantly.

Mei Ziqing let out a long breath, appearing very melancholic.

“There will be no shortage of incidents like this in the future.”

Ning Shu was not as pessimistic as Mei Ziqing. “Xiao Huo is a world origin after all, a fire essence gathered from the essence of heaven and earth. If we find him a cultivation manual and he trains properly, he will have the ability to protect himself.”

Xiao Huo had a dazed expression the whole time. He had no idea why that person wanted to snatch him.

“Then I will go back and see if there are any suitable manuals for him to practice.”

Ning Shu thought for a moment. It seemed her Unsurpassable Martial Arts could absorb the power of fire and sun, which might be a fairly suitable manual for Xiao Huo.

However, in the system exchange marketplace, there were many attribute manuals specifically designed for various types of cultivation.

After this little incident, the auction finally ended. The doorman opened the main doors and saw the three of them still standing not far from the entrance.

They were staring fixedly at the doors.

The doorman: …

Being watched with that kind of green, wolf-like gaze really did not feel great.

Ning Shu gave a smiling face and watched silently.

She waited until most of the task-takers from the auction had left.

With a point of her finger, Ning Shu directly used a barrier to envelop the entire auction house.

Outsiders could not get in, and the people inside could not get out.

Furthermore, Ning Shu linked this barrier to the great barrier of the city.

If someone wanted to break her barrier, they would have to destroy the great barrier of the entire city. It would be equivalent to destroying a city.

At the same time, Ning Shu reinforced both her barrier and the overall barrier of the City of Water.

Then, with a flourish of her long sleeves, she turned to leave.

Mei Ziqing raised an eyebrow. “You are playing a bit of a big game here.”

“What do you mean, big? I only just became the embodiment of the water ordinance and I am not yet familiar with controlling the ordinance. Until I have mastered it, I will have to trouble them to wait for a while.”

Then, Ning Shu said with a pained expression, “I always feel like I am failing at my job as the city lord of the City of Water.”

Mei Ziqing: …

“Do not leave Xiao Huo here either. That stone might find its way back,” Ning Shu said. “I am leaving now. By the way, if you have time after your task ends, help me keep an eye on the situation at the auction house.”

“That is not a problem. Say goodbye to Auntie,” Mei Ziqing said to Xiao Huo.

“Goodbye, Auntie.”

Ning Shu: …

“See ya later, pest nephew.”

Ning Shu’s figure vanished.

Ning Shu returned to her system space and flopped onto the sofa in a geyou slouch. She said to 2333, “During this time, if anyone comes looking for me, tell them I am not here and that I went on a task. Especially if people from the auction house come looking. Tell them I am on a task and am currently unavailable.”

2333: “Oh, alright. You are so evil.”

Ning Shu: “How am I evil? I really am unskilled at using my ordinance. Also, when they come looking, be polite. Apologize a lot and then tell them there is really nothing we can do. Tell them to wait until I have mastered the ordinance. As for when that will be, well, who knows? Do you understand?”

2333: “…Understood!”

Go ahead and play nicely inside that barrier. To break the auction house barrier, one would have to break the barrier of the entire city. Let’s see who dares to try.

Ning Shu thumped her chest, finally feeling a bit of her pent-up frustration release. They had the nerve to act entitled on her own turf.

They shouldn’t bully people too much.

Now I do not even want your taxes. I just want to keep you in a cage.

No business for you either.

Ning Shu felt that she had not asked for too much with a 10% tax. She was following the regulations strictly.

But since they wanted to stir up trouble, she would stir it right back. She would see who could outlast the other.

Even without the tax from the auction house, she still had taxes from other shops.

Everyone could just waste time together.

The auction house would surely lose more than she would.

Ning Shu smiled broadly as she smelled the rich, elegant fragrance of the agarwood.

2333: …

“I think you have become bad,” 2333 said.

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. “It is just because my strength is lacking. If I had enough strength, I would kick the auction house out of the city directly.

“This is also meant to be a test to draw the snake out of its hole. I want to see what kind of background the auction house really has.”

Now that this had happened, they would definitely come looking for her.

Ning Shu was feeling refreshed, but the people in the auction house were all cursing like sailors.

What the hell was this? She had actually sealed off the auction house. This was even more ruthless than putting seal strips on the main door.

“Manager, I told you back then not to let things get so tense,” the charming woman said to the manager, who was pacing back and forth.

The man looked displeased. “What is the use of telling me what happened ‘back then’? Now she has sealed the auction house. This is simply absurd. Does she even know what she is doing?”

“Should we go find the young master? He should be out looking for opportunities, so we probably cannot contact him.” The charming woman furrowed her brows. “Should I try to communicate with the city lord? Since we are both women, some things might be easier to discuss.”

The man thought for a moment and nodded. “You go talk to her first.”

The charming woman contacted 2333 through the system to ask about Ning Shu’s situation. she said that if Ning Shu was free, she would like to invite her to the City of Water for a meal.

“Someone is looking for you. Do you want to reply?” 2333 asked Ning Shu.

Ning Shu was reading a book and did not even look up. “Ignore them. Give them a ‘warm refusal.’ The ones coming now are just small fries. There is no need to pay them any mind. Just say I am on a task.”

If anyone could just invite her out with a simple request, wouldn’t she look too cheap? It would only make the other side look down on her.

Did they really think she was a little dog that would run over wagging her tail just because they threw a bone?

2333: “Alright.”

2333 rejected the other party, then asked, “Should I keep rejecting them?”

“Like I said, keep them locked up for a while. It has barely been any time at all. Ignore them.”

Ning Shu was incredibly calm.
