Chapter 2295: Chapter 2290: Jin Family Ancestral Residence

Murong let out a long sigh and then looked at Tang Ming with longing.

Tang Ming exchanged a glance with Hu Mei’er and then said, "Regarding this matter, I still need to meet someone from the Jin Family to confirm."

"No problem, I’ll contact someone from the Jin Family right away."

Yao Jian and Mu Qiu, both with short tempers, heard Tang Ming agree, and immediately spoke up.

Murong raised her eyebrows, then said, "There’s no need to rush; City Lord Tang Ming is a guest, and we still have the matter of the food trade to discuss. After all, Jin Hua has been with the Jin Family for so many years. A little more time won’t make a difference."

Yao Jian and Mu Qiu exchanged a glance and both smiled awkwardly, not saying anything further.

Murong, however, pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "I cooked these myself, and my skills as an Immortal Chef aren’t bad. City Lord Tang Ming and the City Lord’s wife, please try them."

Tang Ming nodded; he too was an Immortal Chef with decent skills, having learned a lot from Li He back in the day.

But after tasting Murong’s dishes, he still felt astonished.

"Delicious, really delicious."

Sitting beside Tang Ming, Hu Mei’er had completely abandoned her previous noble demeanor.

Murong and Mu Qiu’s faces beamed with radiant smiles. After all, Yao Jian couldn’t match Tang Ming in artifact refining, but they surpassed Tang Ming in the culinary arts of Immortal Chefs.

Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er indulged themselves in food and drink. Seeing Hu Mei’er’s embarrassed appearance, Mu Qiu approached her: "Sister Mei’er, based on your straightforward eating before, I’ve decided to befriend you."

"Mu Qiu sister, you’re probably befriending me just to watch me make a fool of myself. But your cooking is truly delicious. If I recognize you as my sister, does that mean I can often enjoy your cooking?"

Hu Mei’er said with gleaming eyes.

Tang Ming coughed lightly, then said, "Clan Leader Murong, let’s talk about the matter of food, shall we?"

"Do you really have so much Immortal Rice? Where did you get it? You didn’t loot some city’s granary, did you? That would bring disaster to my clansmen; I couldn’t agree to that."

Murong looked seriously at Tang Ming, waiting for his explanation.

Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er exchanged glances, Hu Mei’er smiled, then said, "Tang Ming, the Twin Clan is also from the West Desolation; they won’t leak the secrets of the West Desolation. Moreover, when we want Murong sister to lead the clansmen back to the West Desolation, we’ll need to give them some confidence, right?"

Tang Ming nodded, then said, "Clan Leader Murong, I used a special Holy Water to purify the demonized lands of the West Desolation. The land there can now produce Immortal Rice. Not just ten thousand pounds; even if you ask for a hundred thousand pounds, I can provide them. You should know how vast the Spiritual Tree Plains in the West Desolation are."

Tang Ming’s words made Murong draw a sharp breath; Mu Qiu stood up and looked at Tang Ming in surprise: "This can’t be! We of the Mu Family can’t do it, only the Niu Family has some methods. But those methods are too cruel."

Mu Qiu said, cautiously looking at Tang Ming: "You didn’t imprison the Niu Family people from Dou Niu Mountain and bleed them to purify the Spiritual Tree Plains, did you?"

"Regarding this matter, Murong sister, I think you can send people to the West Desolation to check. Anyway, West Continent City is not that far from here; a round trip is only five days."

Tang Ming looked at Murong, then said.

Murong’s expression eased considerably: "I’ll trust your words for now. After discussing with the Jin Family, we will purchase the ten thousand pounds of food. We’ll pay with ores, which I’m sure City Lord Tang Ming will find agreeable, right?"

"Of course, but if Clan Leader Murong sends people to West Continent City, it’s best to inform me. I can guide you through Dou Niu Mountain to the Spiritual Tree Plains and have several elders from the Niu Family host you."

Tang Ming smiled at Murong, then said.

From Mu Qiu’s knowledge of the Niu Family secrets, it’s clear the relations between the two clans are good.

Murong nodded: "I hope so. If you’ve really treated the Niu Family well, I believe the people of the Twin Clan still long for their ancestral land."

Murong stood up, smiled at Tang Ming, and chose to leave the courtyard where Tang Ming was.

"How true do you think Tang Ming’s words were previously?"

After leaving Tang Ming’s courtyard, Yao Jian eagerly asked.

Murong paused, gave it some thought, then said, "I believe if he truly purified the demonized lands, then everything else is true. If that isn’t true, then it’s all false."

"What do we do then?" Mu Qiu looked up at Murong.

Murong snorted: "You’ve forgotten our ancestral teachings; the Niu Family and our Twin Clan are allies. The secrets of the Niu Family have a connection to our Twin Clan too. Since you revealed the Niu Family’s secrets, you should go gather information."

Mu Qiu was scolded by her sister, but she wasn’t angry. She too had a fiery temperament, and her sister was right, as the Niu Family’s matter was her fault, so she smiled and accepted the reprimand.

"Alright, I’ll set off tomorrow."

Mu Qiu tugged on Murong’s arm, playfully saying.

Murong glared, then said, "You’re already a mother, still acting like before, always playful."

"It’s because my sister and husband dote on me."

Mu Qiu blushed as she glanced at Yao Jian.

Yao Jian’s ugly face instantly lit up with delight, nearly jumping up to embrace Mu Qiu.

The Jin Family is located six miles outside Source Stone City at Jin Family Village. Jin Family Village actually consists of old and new family residences for the direct branches, along with some collateral relatives.

After Murong left Tang Ming’s courtyard, she ordered a carriage and headed directly to the Jin Family Village outside the city.

The people of Jin Family Village were very familiar with Murong, as she frequently visited the Jin Family’s old residence where the elders of the Jin Family lived.

Today, Murong, as usual, entered the Jin Family’s old residence.

If it were anyone else entering the Jin Family’s old residence, they’d be very surprised, because it’s filled with Golden Human Puppets, lifelike and seemingly real, most seated cross-legged on meditation mats in the rooms.

Only the Jin Family members know that this is where the Jin Family ends up, due to the Twin Clan’s bloodline, they ultimately become goldenized, turning into a Golden Human
