Chapter 16 Settlement ()

As the young woman turned a few streets and walked through two alleys, she arrived at the place she said. The houses around her were very sparse. It was a bit remote. The house was just at the end of the street, and the three tiled houses were spacious and clean. Opposite the house was a small blacksmith shop, with banging sounds coming from it. It was indeed a little noise, but Shangxin didn't care about these things. As long as he could stay in his arms and had a place to hide the bubble bear.

When you enter the house, you will find a complete set of tables and chairs, even a lot of bowls, chopsticks, cups and plates. There is also a large basement under the house, which makes Shang Xin extremely satisfied.

"Sister, this place is very good. Can I move in now?"

"Yeah, OK." The young woman said, "You go and call your mother, I'll buy you two sets of bedding."

"We just need to buy this ourselves." Shang Xin said weakly.

"Where did you get so much money when you escape? I said I would buy it. You can go quickly."

"Uh..." Shang Xin looked at the young woman helplessly, "Then, am I leaving?"

"Let's go, let's go, I'll go, too."

When Shang Xin brought Yuan Qing back, the snow had already stopped.

Two sets of brand new bedding were already placed on the bed. The young woman was not in the house.

The mother and son went around the street and bought some essential daily necessities. When they came back again, it was noon. But they saw the young woman sitting in the house waiting. When they saw the mother and son coming back without saying a word, they pulled up and ran to the blacksmith shop opposite. Through the small house, they came to the back. They were three rooms designed the same as the house rented by Shang Xin and his son. The blacksmith shop was just the doorman. Now Shang Xin understood that the blacksmith shop was opened by her family.

When he entered the house, the food was already arranged, and it was very rich. In the house was a strong man with dark skin, who thought it was the young woman's man. Seeing the mother and son coming, he quickly stood up and gave up his seat. The couple was extremely enthusiastic, which made Shang Xin feel a little embarrassed. Over the years, there has never been anyone in the Yinyi Village who treats him like this.

After a meal, Shang Xin knew that the woman was called Bilian and the man was called Han Fei. He had been making a living for generations. Bilian's real estate agent was indeed bored, and usually had no business for ten days and half a month. The couple didn't care much about this. They were not short of that little money, but their husbands were too busy at work, and Bilian was so bored that they just passed the time.

After returning home after dinner, Shang Xin sat on the bed, used consciousness to guide the two gases in his body to rotate along the meridians, and began to practice. Although the spiritual energy in his body was always running after entering the fusion realm, if he calmed down and focused on practicing, the speed would still be faster. This is the difference between Shang Xin and others. No one can rely on meditation to practice to improve the spiritual energy of the guardian beast. Perhaps only Shang Xin can do this in this world.

"It's just too slow. If you want to continue like this, you may not be able to improve even a level without three to five years." Shang Xin thought in his mind.

If someone knows Shang Xin’s thoughts at this time, he will be furious. Many people will never be able to improve one level in their lifetime. After entering the fusion realm, the difficulty of upgrading is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The guardian beasts after the fusion realm can only be upgraded by two methods. One is to use spiritual medicine or magic core. The help of low-grade spiritual medicine and low-level magic core after the fusion realm is very limited. Medium-grade spiritual medicine or intermediate-level magic core can quickly improve their strength, but spiritual medicine is difficult to find. Few people will sell the medium-grade ones they have worked hard to get. Even if they are paid, they may not be able to buy them. Therefore, using this method to improve the level of the guardian beast is not practical for most people.

Another method is to let the guardian beasts fight continuously, either with monsters or other guardian beasts. In the battle, both sides will release a large amount of spiritual energy, and the winning side will absorb the spiritual energy into their bodies. The failed side can also use Qiqi grass or low-grade spiritual medicine to recover. However, this speed is extremely slow, and it is not faster than Shang Xin's own cultivation. Moreover, it is impossible to fight all the time, so it is very difficult for the guardian beast to move up to the next level.

Most people rely on the second method to improve the guardian beast. In the guardian kingdom, various towns often hold competitive competitions for guardian beasts to better enable people to improve their guardian beasts.

Of course, Shangxin is not very clear about these things.

In an elegant study room, Wang Yunliang stood in front of the door with a gloomy face, staring at Wang Shen in front of him with bloodshot eyes.

"Brother is dead?"

"It should be." Wang Shen whispered.

"The person who killed the eldest brother is called Shang Xin?"

"Yes."

"You said his guardian beast was a little gray squirrel?"

"Yes."

"Zhang Long was killed by him with one sword?"

"Yes."

"His mother's guardian beast is a healing bubble bear?"

"Yes."

Wang Yunliang finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted to the door: "Mr. Li!"

"Here!" A bell-like voice outside the door responded. Then, a man who was nearly a meter tall walked over.

Wang Yunliang glanced at the man and said fiercely: "Call all the troops in the gang, focus on the Hidden Village, search doors within a radius of hundreds of miles. Any guardian beasts such as mice and bubble bears will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" Manager Li replied loudly and then stepped down.

At night, the snow started falling again. This year's winter snow seemed to be particularly heavy.

Shang Xin was opening the door of a small house and took out Bubble Bear and Mingyue.

In the heavy snow, I sneaked back to my rented house and was not seen by anyone.

After entering the house, Shang Xin was surprised to find that the bubble bear was actually a thicker than last night.

Is it swollen? Shang Xin looked at Mingyue, but Mingyue looked up at the roof, and didn't look at Shangxin at all.

"You are cruel." Shang Xin murmured in a low voice. While Yuan Qing had not come out of cleaning the bedroom, he hurriedly sent the bubble bear into the basement. It would be great if his mother saw it.

At this point, Shang Xin and Yuan Qing finally settled in Qingyuan Town, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. In the past half month, the vicinity of Qingyuan Town has been in a mess. People have investigated every village every day, looking for the whereabouts of Shang Xin and his son. However, Qingyuan Town is as quiet as before. Wang Yunliang never dreamed that Shang Xin and Yuan Qing were just under his nose. Even if he really thought of this, he would not dare to search like in the village. In Qingyuan Town, the Blood-Swallowing Gang can only be considered a second-rate gang, and it is no longer his turn to cover the sky with his hands.

After making a fuss for half a month, the mother and son were not found. Wang Yunliang was furious all day long, but in the end he had no choice but to leave it alone.

In the past half month, Shang Xin hid back to his room to practice as soon as he had free time. He ignored the outside world and did not know that their mother and son were taken so seriously.

Since Yuan Qing moved in, Bilian no longer went to the agency and stayed here all day long and nagged Yuan Qing about family matters. The relationship between them was very harmonious. Judging from the development form, I am afraid that even the rent would be waived by the end of the month.

By chance, Bilian saw the bright moon and asked Shang Xin strangely what this is?

Shang Xin was really embarrassed to lie to this enthusiastic sister again, so he honestly replied that it was his guardian beast.

As a result, Bi Lian laughed loudly, saying that Shang Xin is really good at bragging. She had never seen a mouse become a guardian beast. Shang Xin had no choice but to be secretly grateful that it would be better for her not to take Mingyue seriously, so that it would save unnecessary trouble.

On that day, Bi Lian came home again and entered the house and shouted: "Xiao Shangxin, you have been there for half a month and have not found a job. Why would you do anything to help your brother-in-law do your job? The salary will definitely not treat you badly."

"Help your brother-in-law imitate the iron?" Shang Xin was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Shang Xin really needs to have a job. Yuan Qing has no money these days. If Bi Lian's family had not been taking care of him, the mother and son would have starved to death these days.

Shang Xin originally wanted to go to the Jue Valley in the mountains and pick some weird grass and sell it. But he knew that it was not possible now, and he might meet people from the Wang family after he went out.

He didn't dare to show up in the town to find a job. First, he was too young and no one would use him. Second, he might also meet Wang Shen, after all, Qingyuan Town is so big.

It's just right to make a blacksmith here, it's already secluded, and you don't have to contact others in that hut.

At this time, Yuan Qing walked out of the bedroom and said, "Shang Xin is still too young, I'm afraid he can't bear it."

Bilian hurriedly said, "Oh, don't worry, I won't let Shang Xin be tired. You see, your health is not good, Shang Xin will not let you go out. The family must have some source of life."

"I'll go." Shang Xin said as he ran to the blacksmith shop opposite.

Yuan Qing shook his head helplessly, but he didn't worry too much. After all, Shang Xin was under his nose.

The Bilian and his wife are also kind-hearted. Even if they are tired, can they still be afraid of Shangxin's fusion state? Yuan Qing suddenly thought of this.

"Brother-in-law, I'm here." Shang Xin shouted when he walked into the blacksmith shop.

"Shang Xin, it's coming so soon. Bilian and I discussed that you will come tomorrow." Han Fei said with a smile.

"Anyway, I'm fine. Sister Bilian said I'll come here, and I'll come." After a pause, Shang Xin said again: "Brother-in-law, what do I need to do?"

"Then you can help me stir up the fire."

"Oh." Shang Xin quickly picked up a fan to stir up the fire. Then he looked at Han Fei, but saw Han Fei forging a sword. "Brother-in-law, are we still making weapons?" Shang Xin asked with interest. These days, Shang Xin has not come to the blacksmith shop. He always thought Han Fei was making some farm tools.

"Well, I only build weapons here." Han Fei said.

"What's the use of weapons?" Shang Xin asked with some confusion. In the guardian kingdom, defending beasts are used to fight. I have never heard of any beasts that can fight with weapons. In Shang Xin's cognition, after entering the fusion realm, the spiritual energy can be transformed into swords, and weapons obviously do not have much effect."

Han Fei smiled and said, "You will know in the future."

"Oh." Shang Xin didn't ask again, and stirred up his fire with peace of mind.
