Lie Ping Hei Lian was promoted by being a salted fish
Chapter 432: Finding an Informer
There are still some things to deal with before going to the Miasma Forest.
In fact, it doesn’t matter to Black Lotus or White Lotus, they have no worries anymore, but Lian can’t just leave like that.
It’s not that Kong Lian has any concerns in the clan, but the Nine-tailed Fox clan treats its disciples differently from the Two-headed Lotus clan.
Although they still couldn't escape the fate of being eaten in the end, on weekdays, the clan still did a good job of treating the children from the side branches well.
The offerings from the clan are quite generous. As their cultivation becomes higher, they receive offerings of corresponding levels. It seems that the rules are clear and distinct.
There are also regulations that require reporting when children go out.
It doesn't matter in the short term, but the journey is long and it won't be something that can be resolved in one or two months.
Therefore, Peng Lian had to go back and report.
Under normal circumstances, this is just a formality, and the clan will not stop you from going into seclusion or traveling.
The advantage is that you can advance half of the offering.
In the words of Lian Lian, the clan is like this, but it is just a change of name.
Compared to other tribes, such as the Two-Headed Lotus Tribe, which never regarded the side branches as tribe members from the beginning to the end, the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe is hypocritical at best.
Sheng Hongyi thought about it and realized that it was true.
For a side branch, if the final result is to be eaten, then is it more terrifying that a person who is usually kind to you suddenly takes off his mask and reveals his bloody mouth to you, or is it more terrifying that the real purpose is revealed directly?
If you think about it carefully, it's just the same end, so pretending to be nice is a waste of time.
However, hypocrisy is not without its benefits. Look, since Pang Lian can get so many offerings, doesn't he have more money for his journey?
It would take at least six or seven days, or at most more than ten days, for Pang Lian to go back and arrange some things.
Sheng Hongyi now had some free time, which she thought was a good idea as she could wander around the Alien Realm and get to know the Alien Realm herself.
What you see, hear, and feel in person are more real than memories or descriptions from others.
So, she went back to the gathering place of the aliens together with Lian.
Before leaving, Pang Lian also reminded her:
"Behave yourself. If you have any problems, I'll come back and solve them. No one will protect you if you fight alone."
Sheng Hongyi waved her hands and didn't take it to heart at all. She didn't even hear what Pang Lian was nagging. He was not there, and Bai Lian was not there either. Without the shackles, it was impossible for her to be content.
"Don't worry, do I look so unreliable?"
Yan Lian took one last look at Sheng Hongyi's serious expression, sighed with worry, and left.
In fact, he was well aware of Hei Lian's nature.
However, although Hei Lian was a little impulsive, she was also smart. It was impossible to ask her to stay at home, but Lian thought that Hei Lian would not cause any big trouble.
No matter what trouble she caused, she could handle it herself.
He was mostly concerned about her safety.
However, this time, Pang Lian was wrong.
Hei Lian is no longer Hei Lian, and this place is certainly not the place where Hei Lian was born and raised. There are many things Sheng Hongyi can do.
But there is one thing that Peng Lian is right about.
No matter whether it was Hei Lian or Sheng Hongyi, even if they caused trouble, she would solve it herself and she didn't have the habit of letting others clean up the mess.
As soon as Pang Lian left, Sheng Hongyi changed her appearance, put on her cloak, and went out onto the street.
She didn't do anything out of the ordinary. She just found an empty space and started doing her old job, fortune-telling.
Tiandi Zhu was also disguised by her. It was now pitch black and looked very ordinary.
If you want to get information, the fastest way is to blend in with the crowd.
What can you know by sitting in the house all day?
Not long after she set up the stall, people gathered around her.
Are these... little demons? They have colorful appearances and a mixed aura. The one leading the group, wow, has a three-petal mouth. Is he a rabbit demon?
The rabbit spirit held a stick in his hand and hit the small table that Sheng Hongyi had just set up hard:
"Hello? New here? Don't you know the rules? And you're hiding behind others?"
Sheng Hongyi looked the visitor up and down through his cloak and roughly realized that they were here to collect protection money.
But she has no money.
Hei Lian is simply a pauper. Sheng Hongyi boasts that she has never been so poor even when she was at her poorest.
The Alien Realm has its own "spiritual stones", called Dark Stones, all of which come from the Dark Pole Cave.
However, Black Lotus' status was low, so naturally she couldn't get the dark stone that could be used for cultivation. She only had dark beads with a lot of impurities and mixed and rare energy of heaven and earth.
Dark beads are the main "currency" in the alien domain. Things like dark stones are almost all controlled by the main branches of the fifteen families, and no one can get their hands on them.
The Black Lotus now doesn't even have a dark pearl.
She came out to tell fortunes today, firstly to get some information, and secondly to earn some money for herself.
There is a long way to go, we can’t always use the same method.
Regardless of whether they are friends or acquaintances, she does not have the habit of always using other people's things or taking advantage of others.
As for whether Bai Lian had a hidden pearl, Hei Lian never asked, but she probably was poor too.
Given Bai Lian's personality, she would probably share any good things she had with Hei Lian.
"Three great masters, what do you want me to do?"
The rabbit spirit was obviously stunned for a moment. After a while, it turned around and blinked at the two people behind it with interest, and its heart suddenly felt happy.
Big boss?
No one has ever called them that, and people here are all afraid and tremble when they see them.
"Well, you don't know the rules?"
Boss Rabbit showed rare patience and asked again.
The two behind it, looking a little stupid, moved forward together and puffed out their chests. Look at their pointed mouths, long faces, two erect ears on their heads, and strong muscles.
Sheng Hongyi was 100% sure what these two things were.
Kangaroo spirit.
Although the two are wearing clothes, they can still be seen as "beasts".
But, there are so many strange things like this on the street that Sheng Hongyi is no longer surprised.
"I don't think I know. Didn't I just get here?"
"However, since the three masters are here, I know what you are here for!"
"After all, this is what I do, isn't it?"
As he spoke, he gestured with his hand to the black flag he had made.
"Are you three here to collect the management fee?"
"Management funds?"
The big rabbit was stunned again, and then he found that he was pleased again.
They are all called protection fees or bribes, or those who are sweet-talkers will say it is a filial tribute. Today's new word is management fee?
decent!
"So what? Have you prepared the management fund?"
It was very proud, and its three-petal mouth was wide open.
Sheng Hongyi smiled and said, "Of course not, sir. It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I'm poor. But I will never refuse to give it to you on purpose."
"How about this? I'll set up a stall here and share the money I earn from each fortune telling with you guys. How about that?"
Boss Rabbit was not happy, but he was not stupid. What kind of fortune-telling was this? If he didn't have any business, all his efforts would be in vain.
"Don't be so evasive and evasive, and don't even want to pay. Do you think I'm a good person?"
The rabbit became anxious, his eyes turned bloodshot and he looked ferocious.
Sheng Hongyi quickly stood up and bowed, saying:
"Hey, Master, don't be angry. I hid it because I'm ugly, not on purpose."
"I really have no money. You can search me for that. Also, I'm very accurate in fortune-telling. I told myself a fortune when I went out today. It said that I would meet an honorable person on the road. I think it must be you three masters."
As he spoke, he lifted his cloak to show the rabbit spirit his face with half of his birthmark made-up.
Sheng Hongyi was an expert at controlling breath. She knew that the monsters had a keen sense of smell. If they could tell that she was Black Lotus through her breath, she would be exposed. After all, this place was very close to the Two-Headed Lotus Clan's territory.
Therefore, she made the aura of her whole body very chaotic, with a mixture of demonic energy and devilish energy. The aura appeared and disappeared from time to time, appearing very unstable.
People like this usually have too mixed bloodlines, mixed with demons and even ghosts, so they are helpless and have no family. They are born hybrids.
There are many such "lower classes" in the alien domain, and this street is almost full of them.
They can only make a living by their own abilities.
The big rabbit stepped back in disgust. If there weren't two strong "wooden stakes" blocking it from behind, it would have retreated even further.
It shuddered in its heart. Oh my god, it was so scary.
Rabbits are timid by nature, and their faces are really ugly, like a devil.
"You're right to wear the cloak, don't take it off."
There was a bright smile in Sheng Hongyi's eyes, and with the cloak on, she looked more unscrupulous.
Besides, compared to those families that are worse than beasts, these "low-level" aliens do have their own cuteness, and they are very real.
Of course, she had a purpose for wasting so much time talking to the rabbit spirit.
It’s for the news.
The Rabbit Demon is a local tyrant with some power. Naturally, he is the one who knows the most about the scattered news outside.
As for the Two-Headed Lotus Clan, Sheng Hongyi naturally would not go back.
But she needs to know the news there.
She always likes to be prepared when doing things.
Apart from anything else, although she will be going to the Miasma Forest soon, who knows whether the trip will be smooth.
The Two-Headed Lotus Clan was eyeing her and Bai Lian covetously, so how could there not be an eye watching them?
Today, she saw the rabbit spirit and thought it was very suitable.
When Sheng Hongyi hires someone to do something for her, she will certainly not treat them unfairly.
It depends on the performance of the rabbit spirit.
If it's not suitable, she still has time and can always find the right person.
"My dear, I will listen to whatever you say. I think you are destined to be rich and noble. Since you are my dear today, how about I tell you your fortune?"
Boss Rabbit rubbed his teeth. He felt an indescribable feeling when facing this person.
This person is very good at sweet talk. Normally, if someone couldn't pay, she would definitely give her a hard time and beat her up immediately without any mercy.
But, she was really good at talking. Every word she said touched its heart, and her fortune-telling really aroused its interest.
It straightened its chest again and said, well, let's just wait and see. At worst, I can fork her out later.
"Oh? Then tell me about my family affairs. What good things have happened to my family recently? How come I will become a rich and powerful person in the future?"
Sheng Hongyi deftly took out the Tiandi Zhu and started to cast a hexagram.
The rabbit spirit only felt a pair of hands in front of him opening and closing flexibly, and the man began to speak:
"Oh, it's the Daxu hexagram, Gen on top and Qian on bottom, which is very auspicious."
"Qian represents heaven, which is strong and sturdy; Gen represents mountain, which is honest and steadfast. Daxu means great accumulation."
"You are indeed a noble man. You have a rich family background, which is accumulated by your ancestors."
"Of course, this is only part of the story. The key lies in you. You are a hard-working person and you are truly the backbone of the family."
This is indeed true. The reason why Sheng Hongyi chose this rabbit spirit was because of its aura, which is relatively peaceful and down-to-earth.
Some people are born bad, and the evil and filthy energy in their bodies cannot be stopped. But some people look fierce, but their aura cannot deceive people.
"From the hexagram, it seems that you made a fortune recently. However, good fortune and disaster go hand in hand. I have to remind you that this fortune may have been exposed. Go back and check in the next two days to see if someone has stolen it."
She paused, stopped talking, and then said:
"There will be results within two days. You can come back to see me in two days."
"Don't worry about me running away. You can let these two masters watch over me for the next few days."
Boss Rabbit was stunned by what Sheng Hongyi said. This... made it impossible for it to deal with her right now.
After all, what she said was indeed true, especially the fact that it had made a fortune. Thinking back to that day when it returned home, it was so happy that it drank some wine and thus lost some of its vigilance.
When it was hiding the money, it heard some noise outside, but when it went to hide it, it was gone...
Its face became uglier and uglier. It left in a hurry without caring about anything else. As it left, it said to one of the kangaroos:
"Second brother, you should just watch over her these few days... No, just accompany her. This... Master Hong is new here after all, so we should show our hospitality."
After saying that, it forced an ugly smile to perfunctorily answer Sheng Hongyi, then left with the other kangaroo.
The second one looked Sheng Hongyi up and down, but unfortunately it couldn't see Sheng Hongyi's face.
Sheng Hongyi took out a small stool:
"Please take a seat. If not, can you help me attract some business?"
Sheng Hongyi looked at its silly appearance and came up with a new idea.
"My dear, are you the best in this street?"
Dai Lao Er scratched his head and thought for a while:
"Well, besides my eldest rabbit, I'm just as good as the third one."
Sheng Hongyi nodded in the affirmative and confirmed again:
"Do all these people who come and go listen to you?"
Dai Lao Er puffed out his chest again, proudly:
"That's natural."
Sheng Hongyi was even more satisfied:
"Then you ask them to come over and I'll tell their fortunes. Not too many, not too many. Each fortune only costs six dark beads. I'll give you three half of each fortune. That's what we agreed on just now!"
When Dai Lao Er heard this, he didn't react at first, as if he was thinking. Sheng Hongyi was not in a hurry either, because she knew that this kangaroo spirit was not that smart.
After a while, she saw Dai Laoer's eyes light up.
Sheng Hongyi felt relieved, there was hope.
