Chapter 1139: Chapter 1139: Extra—Retirement Arc
Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe walked towards their flower shop, had a hot pot meal, read some books, drank some tea, and continued their retired life.
Three days later, even more people from the developers came.
The Mayor was interrupted while fishing, reluctantly returned from the riverbank, and asked the developers, "Do you want to fight or negotiate?"
The developers were completely dumbfounded. Are small towns this powerful these days?
They already knew there were some skilled cultivators here, but even experts have to follow the rules.
Besides, as a big developer, would they lack experts?
A man stepped forward and said to the Mayor, "Who wants to negotiate with you? Even with many experts, the town only has so many people, surely not everyone is an expert."
The Mayor turned his head and glanced at the man.
"Sigh———"
"Alright, everyone stop hiding, show what you got."
With the Mayor’s words, almost every adult in the town stepped out, and with each step, a seal on them was released.
In no time, over a hundred people in the town stood opposite the developers, each as powerful as the barbecue stall owner a few days ago.
"Oh my!"
Nian Shutong was shocked again. Since when did everyone hide their strength so well? She didn’t notice at all.
Fu Yunhe carefully observed for a while, noticing that before each person stepped out, they pinched something like a button.
"It’s Rubble’s invention."
"Rubble?"
Nian Shutong immediately understood. It’s no surprise; she almost thought their strength had dropped so much over a hundred years of absence. It scared her.
At this moment, a bit nervous, the developer licked the corner of his mouth and smilingly said to the Mayor, "I think, your question earlier, negotiation is better."
The Mayor didn’t reply, just picked up his fish bucket and left.
The developers left again in failure.
But this developer was quite persistent, as if they had a grudge against this place, they actually contacted the Ji Family.
No matter how powerful now, the interstellar world operates under the rule of law.
Three days later, someone from the Ji Family came along with the developer’s boss.
The Mayor came back from fishing once more.
This time, the Mayor said nothing, directly heading towards the crowd, and everyone moved aside, until the Mayor stopped in front of Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe.
Nian Shutong had a suspicion, and the Mayor knew it.
"I dare to ask you two for a favor."
"No problem helping, I just want to know how you knew who we are?"
The Mayor showed a smile for the first time and said, "You didn’t really disguise your appearance. People here, back then, took part in the battle against the Insect Race, and many were soldiers under the Commander, so they are somewhat familiar with you two."
So, that’s where their connection came from.
Nian Shutong had never thought about it, and Fu Yunhe was a bit surprised — he actually had his own soldiers?
Helping wasn’t a problem for sure, and Nian Shutong directly walked to the front and asked the two standing there, "Which family are you from?"
Nian Shutong’s question left the two, who didn’t know her, speechless.
"No worries, I just want to make a call to your families to have a chat."
Finally, under Nian Shutong’s pressure, the two reported their family names.
Nian Shutong directly contacted the Family Head of the Ji Family, still the same one from before.
"Beep beep———"
On the other side, the Ji Family Patriarch stood up immediately upon seeing the communication number, as if the chair was burning hot under him.
"Oh no, oh no, the living ancestor called me."
The Ji Family Master quickly picked up, subconsciously bowing his head on the other end.
"Hello, Nian Lan Star Lord."
"Ji Family Master, long time no see."
The Ji Family Patriarch thought to himself, really doesn’t want to meet, the scenes from the last encounter are still vivid and hard to bear.
"Ha ha... Do you have any instructions?"
The Ji Family Master sincerely inquired of Nian Shutong, asking what was needed.
Nian Shutong didn’t beat around the bush, directly stating the issue.
"I found a place to retire, but I heard the Ji Family took a liking to this place to build a resort."
"No no no no no, no, no, no."
The Ji Family Master hurriedly denied, daring not to admit it.
In the end, Nian Shutong had the Ji Family Master directly contact the developers, and their backers, resolving the issue perfectly.
"Sorry, sorry, we failed to recognize greatness, sorry."
"It’s all our fault, sorry."
The two of them began apologizing earnestly, followed by everyone else who came along, all bowing and apologizing.
Nian Shutong felt her eyes sore from seeing it, all dressed in black, bowing to her, and after a while, they all left.
"Alright, everyone can leave now. Just watching is making my eyes hurt."
Once Nian Shutong spoke, the people opposite immediately disappeared, not wanting to hurt her eyes.
After all, she’s a legend of interstellar, the Blue Star Lord, Nian Shutong.
With the developer issue resolved, the residents of the town returned to their usual selves.
Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe returned to their flower shop, continuing their quiet life.
However, probably knowing the identity of the people there, both couldn’t find the same simple joy as before, so a few months later, Youjian Flower Shop closed, and the chimney on that two-story house stopped smoking.
Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe returned to Blue Star.
Once they returned, Master Fan perked up.
He hardly cooked, immediately dismissing his apprentice, personally taking charge, putting in his best effort to prepare a meal for the two of them.
Rubble, Ha Ha, Elder Hua, and Uncle Long all sat together eating, everyone talking and laughing, full of cheer.
"Are you two leaving again?"
Uncle Long asked.
Fu Yunhe said nothing, just glanced at Nian Shutong. The household dynamic was quite clear.
Nian Shutong put down the bowl in her hand, somewhat troubled, "I don’t know, time is long, staying in one place can be quite boring."
"Uncle Long, what do you think those Immortals did every day?"
Uncle Long glanced at Nian Shutong and said, "What could they do? Seeking the path to immortality, closing off with no trouble, blink and decades pass. I haven’t seen cultivation like yours, wandering around the world, not enough yet."
Nian Shutong, after being chided, didn’t feel embarrassed at all, rather proudly said, "Can’t help it, when you’re gifted like us."
"Besides, in cultivation, the further you go, the more you have to follow fate, can’t force it, that’s what I call natural Taoist Skill."
"Rubble knows what Ms. Nian Shutong can do."
Just after boasting, Nian Shutong looked at Rubble and asked, "What should I be doing?"
"Time travel."
