A rich young master with a way with everyone VS a Taotie-path gourmand and jealous king
The young master of the Zhuang family has run away from his arranged marriage.
They say he took tens of millions of spirit stones, over a hundred high-grade magic treasures, and several boatloads of top-quality talismans when he fled home.
He left behind only a note.
Arranged marriages are shameful. Long live free love! I'll find myself a wife!
As he passed a pigsty in a small town, he happened to see a mortal boy so hungry he was stealing pig feed to eat.
Zhuang You: !!!
How miserable!
Zhuang You kicked over the pig trough and stuffed a handful of banknotes into the mortal boy's hands.
The mortal boy refused the money. He said he came from a poor family and had been begging his way along, all so he could take the test to join an immortal sect.
Moved by compassion, Zhuang You agreed to take him along.
Zhuang You: I did another good deed today.
Yu Shanya: A fat sheep. Pure and pretty, too. I'll con him out of everything he owns, then kill him.
Some time later.
Zhuang You: Your cultivation speed is kind of weird, bro. What, you want to teach me? That's great!
Yu Shanya: Feast to your heart's content!
Zhuang You: Wait, I think I'm about to become someone else's wife.
