Resuscitation: The Empress Reincarnated as My Daughter!

Chapter 149 Shells?No, it's the holy potion of healing
Li Xiu looked at the tree in front of him, his eyes filled with endless sighs, ever since he died with the tree demon in the northern border...he was teleported to Wangchuan together, and so many things happened during that time, in the end, This arrogant woman turned into a plant again.

The big tree in front of me, which seemed to exude a faint jade luster on the surface, seemed to feel something, and slowly shook its branches and leaves, as if it had exhausted all its strength. After a while, the faint jade luster disappeared in an instant.

As for the big tree in front of him, from the inside out, Li Xiu could even feel a faint sense of sadness. It seemed that the tree demon also recognized Li Xiu. Inexplicable melancholy.

After feeling the emotion of the tree demon, Li Xiu didn't say anything, but patted it lightly on the trunk of the tree, and then walked into the house.

And the big tree in front of him shook its branches and leaves again, and could even vaguely see the tree's skin, and a familiar outline appeared vaguely.

But Li Xiu didn't pay any attention to these, and they walked to the restaurant together. In the restaurant, the lady said: "Mr. Li, we have prepared a lot of food, and we will definitely prepare a rich dinner for you later!"

"Thank you!" Li Xiu nodded with a smile, and then followed the lady into the room. There were several rows of servants in the room, preparing dinner for them respectfully.

As a businessman, the middle-aged man knows how to read words and expressions, and he is very accurate in judging people. When he saw Li Xiu for the first time, he felt that the young man in front of him must not be as simple as he thought.

It is also because of this that he put down his defenses and did not show any unpleasantness, but greeted him with a smile all the way.

"Thank you."

"Why meet outsiders like this? Mr. Li is a guest, and seeing each other is fate. What's more, my daughter has not had many friends who can have fun with her over the years. I still think that we will see each other more in the future!"

"You're welcome." Li Xiu was not a fool, so he could tell at a glance that the other party was just saying polite words, but he didn't stretch out his hand to slap the smiling face. Li Xiu didn't expose the other party, but he didn't intend to stay for dinner either.

If they rushed back now, they might be able to return to the northern border before dawn tomorrow. If they stayed here tonight, it might take another day of delay.

"You two, we may not be able to stay for dinner, because we are in a hurry to return to the northern border due to some things...so..." Li Xiu laughed dryly, expressing his meaning.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and finally he could only shake his head helplessly: "Since Mr. Li has said so, we can't continue to keep him, how about...Mr. Li, it's getting late, you It's definitely not safe to go back like this, or... I'll find someone to give you a ride? Also in case something happens on the way..."

"This...forget it. If something really happens, the people you send may not be able to help. After all...it's almost a red tide after going outside!"

But when he heard Li Xiu's words, the middle-aged man frowned, and he didn't continue to stick his face on his cold butt, but just smiled casually: "In this case, I'll prepare some food for you, so you won't be hungry on the way!"

"it is good!"

Li Xiu nodded with a smile, and he agreed, and the surrounding servants also walked out with smiles when they saw this scene.

But they are very strange in their hearts. They really don't understand why their boss is so polite to such a stranger. Although their boss is not a top-notch family, they are well-known here, and the scale of their business is also small. Not too small.

Otherwise, he would not be able to invite so many people to live in such a house. He even had a group of supernatural beings under his command, and he was forbidden to hunt outside the Red Tide.

"What do you think the boss is doing? That person is too clueless."

"I also think that the attitude is not good at all, and you are angry when you look at me! Who usually comes to our boss as a guest, and the tone is not gentle?"

"Who knows, forget it...it's none of our business, let's go to work!"

These people still don't seem to be used to Li Xiu's attitude. After all, their boss is here, and their influence is definitely not too small. Those who come here are either to discuss business with their boss, or come to build relationships. Naturally, their attitudes are two All of them have a slightly flattering meaning.

But what about Li Xiu?

He was just passing by and was invited in by a noble lady, not to mention that with Li Xiu's strength, there is no need to be respectful to such a small businessman. Perhaps it is the sharp contrast between the people who visit on weekdays and Li Xiu, which makes these people feel very uncomfortable. Comfortable.

However, Li Xiu didn't pay attention to these people's thoughts, because he would leave here soon, and maybe he would never meet again in the future. If so...why did he bother so much?

Just when all the servants were discussing, a girl in her twenties came to Li Xiu with a lot of snacks and some food.

"Boss, all the things are here. They are all prepared for Mr. Li, and... Madam said that when the time comes, the things in the bag will be packed in red for Miss Li Laner. The nutritional value of those things is relatively high." High... easy to digest, suitable for children..."

"Understood, no matter how I say it, I still want to thank you all. It's getting late now... We are still in a hurry to get back to the northern border, so let's take a step first. Farewell, everyone!"

Li Xiu didn't stay to greet him any longer. After picking up his things, he walked slowly outside, followed by the middle-aged man, and sent Li Xiu outside the door all the way. Just waved goodbye.

When Li Xiu and others walked away, a young man in his twenties not far away came over frowning: "The boss is too arrogant, why do you think Madam brought him back? Just because the other party Did you bring a child too? There are too many people with children in the world, if everyone brings them back, wouldn't this place be overcrowded?"

Hearing the young man's complaint, the middle-aged man just shrugged his shoulders: "It's just a small thing, why bother? Besides, we're doing business, especially during the special period when the spiritual energy is recovering, it's better not to provoke so many people." Otherwise, if you offend the other party for no reason, it will be fine if you meet someone who is more upright... If the other party is a villain and holds a grudge, I'm afraid it will cause great trouble!"

As for Li Xiu's so-called arrogance, in fact, the middle-aged man doesn't seem to mind. He naturally knows that it is because the group of people under him usually sees many people who come to curry favor with him. This feeling.

So I didn't think too much about it.

But even so, when he came back, he still heard a lot of people under his command muttering, but when he saw him coming back, he immediately smiled and quieted down.

The middle-aged man also returned to the room. He felt a little tired after dealing with things for a day, and sat down on the stool. After a while, he was about to get up and take a hot bath.

Seeing his daughter trotting into the hall, he immediately smiled and hugged her into his arms: "Xiao Yueyue, why are you so happy? Where did you go to play just now?"

"Just now, my mother and I went to the back to look at the flowers. By the way... Where is Sister Li Lan'er? She gave me a small shell... She said it was a gift for me, and I will give her one too. Dad, what do you think of this?" ?”

I saw Xiao Yueyue took out a necklace inlaid with sapphires, which would have been worth a lot in the past, but since the recovery of the spiritual energy... these things have gradually become worthless, but they are related to cultivation and materials. , the price soared all the way.

"Do you want to give this necklace to Sister Li Lan'er? But it's a pity that you came back late... They were in a hurry to go home, so they left early!"

"Ah? Is Sister Li Lan'er gone? I still want to play with her, and I didn't even have time to give her the gift I prepared..." Just when Xiao Yueyue pouted and felt a little unhappy.

A person walked in again from outside the room: "Brother Zhao, there is news... The thing has finally arrived. As long as we get that thing, our matter this time will be successful in all likelihood. When the time comes...Brother Zhao will definitely be able to do it." If I go to the next level, I can also take a ride and make a fortune!"

A 30-year-old man in casual clothes came in, with a face full of joy... and this man is not only Zhao Kuo's partner, but also a well-known appraiser here. I don't know how many treasures have been appraised for him in the past .

As long as he takes a look at many things, he can almost tell whether they are good or bad, and how much they are worth, and the price difference will never be too big.

It is precisely because of this kind of seeing that after the two cooperated, the business grew bigger and bigger, and they made more and more money. These days, they even discovered a big business and made it. Their The team can definitely expand more than two or three times.

"Really, did you find it? That's great. Have you seen that thing yourself?"

Hearing this, the 30-year-old man wearing glasses smiled awkwardly: "Not yet, I just got the news, so I hurried over to tell you, if I have time to go and look, this time I plan to find You go there together, lest there be any mistakes in the middle, and it will be troublesome at that time."

"That's good, that's good..." Zhao Kuo nodded, suppressed his excitement forcibly, and held back his daughter: "Xiao Yueyue, why don't you play with your mother at home first? Dad still has a little I have to go out for important things, so I might not come back tonight... Tomorrow, tomorrow, dad will bring you a gift, okay?"

When Xiao Yueyue heard this, her unhappy mouth pouted all of a sudden.

Then he snorted and was about to go out angrily, while Zhao Kuo picked up the shell that was placed on the stool next to him: "Xiao Yueyue...you haven't taken your things yet..."

But the moment he picked up the shell and handed it over... the 30-year-old man wearing glasses standing next to him suddenly widened his eyes.

"Wait, brother Zhao... what is this in your hand?"

"What?" Zhao Kuo also frowned, not understanding what the other party was talking about. Isn't it a shell in his hand?

What could it be?
"No...I'm talking about you..." The man with glasses became hurried, and even the frequency became a little disordered.

When Xiao Yueyue came back to Zhao Kuo angrily, and wanted to grab the shell, the man with glasses finally reached out and stopped him, saying, "Mr. Zhao...do you know what this is? It's not a child's toy, this thing... If one is not handled properly, it is very likely that your entire Zhao family will... disappear overnight!"

"The smoke disappears?" Zhao Kuo was a little upset, and frowned: "What are you talking about, you have to have a sense of humor, just a shell, can make my Zhao family disappear?"

"In recent years, our business is not small, and there are not a few people under our hands. It is really comparable to some middle-level forces. Even if we encounter some big forces, even if we can't beat them, we can still tear them down. A piece of meat, you said you would make our Zhao family disappear just because of such a shell?"

But hearing what the other party said, the man with glasses felt dry mouth and thick cold sweat oozing from his head: "I don't mean that there is anything wrong with this shell, but because this shell is too precious... Once it is taken by someone with a heart People discover that it is very likely to lead to the disaster of destroying the family, and the truth of the crime of embracing Bi... Brother Zhao, you don’t understand, do you?”

As if thinking of something, the man with glasses gritted his teeth, and finally took out his mobile phone, looking for something in the phone album eagerly.

It went on for more than ten minutes, but he still couldn't find it. The man with glasses was so anxious that he finally shook his hands... He turned to the photo, and the joy on his face bloomed at this moment.

"Look, it's this thing... I remember, half a year ago... this thing appeared once, and it immediately caused an uproar. Don't look at the surface, it's just an ordinary shell. It's hard to find even at sea...and even though he doesn't look big, the rarity of this thing is absolutely astonishing..."

"More importantly, this thing is the most effective healing item that has been found so far... Just grind the shells into powder and mix some other substances... It can have unexpected effects. The one that appeared half a year ago The shell is less than one-third of this one, but it was auctioned off by a terrifying force that has never been heard of at a sky-high price. It is said that this thing... once saved an elemental realm power user who had half of his body cut off... "

Hearing what the man with glasses said, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but looked at the photo on the phone in shock. The photo was the detailed introduction of the original auction and the terrifying price that made the scalp tingle.

Until this moment, he finally understood... No wonder the man with glasses was so excited after seeing this shell.
