Taocheng is a very famous and beautiful city.
Because the city is filled with peach trees, every household plants peach trees, and the trees lining the streets are also peach trees. When spring arrives, thousands upon thousands of trees bloom in unison, turning the entire city pink. When the wind blows, it brings a rainfall of peach blossoms, creating an enchanting scene.
Taocheng is not only famous for its peach trees but also because of its City Lord.
The City Lord’s surname is Luo, and the Luo Family is a cultivation family with considerable strength. The Family Head of the Luo Family, who is also the City Lord Luo Zhuifeng, governs wisely, has formidable strength, and is on good terms with many sects. Every ten years, the City Lord invites Sect Masters from nearby sects to admire the flowers, while also holding auctions and exchange meetings, making Taocheng increasingly lively and prosperous.
The Luo Family is also brimming with talent, especially among the main family disciples, with each generation surpassing the previous in excellence.
But this generation has produced an outlier.
Luo Yunyi, eighteen years old this year, is described as a useless person with five spirit roots. Indeed, the Luo Family has never seen anyone with five spirit roots before. The worst they had was four spirit roots, but the cultivation path for those with four spirit roots is generally uncertain and hopeless. Not to mention five spirit roots, which gives absolutely no hope for Foundation Establishment.
But Luo Yunyi’s status is not simple; he is the City Lord’s grandson, the son of the next City Lord Luo Anling! How could such a person become the City Lord after the next? Fortunately, the Young City Lord has more than one son; he also has a second son, Luo Yunfei, who is extremely talented.
The two brothers are often compared side by side, and whenever Luo Yunfei is mentioned, people praise him endlessly. Mentioning Luo Yunyi, however, elicits expressions of regret and sympathy. Of course, some people grumble internally, thinking that this useless person is truly lucky to have been born into such a family.
What is Luo Yunyi, who is pitied and envied by others, doing at this moment?
He is sitting by Peach Blossom Pond outside the city, yawning lazily as he fishes.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze wafts in, carrying an unfamiliar fragrance.
Luo Yunyi is slightly taken aback, for this fragrance is not of peach blossoms.
He turns slightly to see a woman slowly approaching.
The woman is wearing a light purple dress, with dark red tassels on the hem swaying gently as she moves, her silver-white shoes embroidered with lotus flowers. With each step, it seems as though lotuses bloom beneath her feet. As he slowly looks up, he sees the woman’s exquisitely beautiful face, her skin snow-white. A gentle breeze plays with her jet-black hair, and a strand lightly falls to the front as if trying to obscure her exceptional beauty, but this hint of mystery only adds to her allure.
The woman stops in front of him, looking at him without speaking.
Luo Yunyi also looks at this suddenly appearing stunning woman without speaking.
After thinking for a while, Luo Yunyi says, "Ah, miss, would you care to sit down and rest for a while?"
"Are you selling your fish?" the woman asks with a slight smile, stepping to the pondside and looking at the fish basket in the water.
"There are only two; I can sell you one." Luo Yunyi, slightly startled, immediately regains his composure and responds.
"Then, can you provide one-stop service?" the stunning woman asks.
"What? What is one-stop service?" Luo Yunyi is somewhat confused.
"It means, after buying the fish, help me clean and grill it," Tianmiao squats down, resting her chin on her hand as she looks at the plump fish in the basket, explaining. Yes, this woman is indeed Tianmiao.
"I can do that." Luo Yunyi stands up, pulls the fish basket up, grabs one fish, starts cleaning and scaling it, then skillfully builds a fire and grills the fish.
