My Co-renting Lady Boss

In order for his dear friend to rest in peace, the prominent figure of the Jiulong Tower personally arranged to build a grave for his friend in the Tianpo Mountain.

Upon hearing this news, the Sea Shark Gang’s leader was very excited. He had always wanted to recruit an alchemist named Wudi. If he could have that Nascent Soul Stage alchemist accompany him, he would surely recruit Wudi to serve him.

Thus, the Sea Shark Gang’s leader personally came to Demon Hunting Town outside Tianpo City and sabotaged the formation outside the grave.

The grave robbery was successful; the Sea Shark Gang members discovered many precious magic treasures within the tomb. Among them were three pieces suitable for gifting to Wudi, while the rest were stored in the Sea Shark Gang leader’s storage ring, leaving Demon Hunting Town.

According to the leader’s instructions, he would soon accompany Wudi on a visit to Demon Hunting Town. At that time, Wang Song would claim the three treasures as his own to gift to Wudi.

By then, when the offer is made, Wudi will certainly agree to join the Sea Shark Gang.

However, Wang Song did not expect that while Wudi had not yet arrived, people from the Banshan Sect came to Demon Hunting Town. What could these five people be planning? What are their intentions? Could it be that they know about the grave robbery and intend to get a share of the spoils?

"Come here."

Pacing back and forth in the room, Wang Song felt something might go wrong. He stopped and looked towards the door.

Two disciples of the Sea Shark Gang pushed open the door and walked in, "Boss, what’s wrong?"

"Have the newly arrived Banshan Sect guys shown any unusual behavior?"

Wang Song sat on the wooden chair and looked at the disciples of the Sea Shark Gang in front of him.

The two Sea Shark Gang disciples were taken aback. One of them took a step forward, "I was the one entertaining them. As for unusual behavior, that young guy, not practicing the Banshan Sect’s cultivation technique, borrowed our inn’s kitchen."

"Borrowed the kitchen? Go and call Chef Gao in the back kitchen over here for me."

Wang Song raised an eyebrow. Logically, if the other party intended to interfere, they would surely act discreetly.

But borrowing a kitchen? That’s about as high-profile as it gets.

In no time, Chef Gao Fatty arrived in Wang Song’s room, "Shopkeeper, you wanted to see me."

"Hmm, tell me about the guest who borrowed the kitchen earlier. What did he do in the kitchen? Do you know?"

Wang Song nodded and had Chef Gao Fatty sit down.

Upon hearing Wang Song mention Tang Ming, Chef Gao Fatty immediately became excited, "Shopkeeper, you’re talking about that young immortal chef. He’s an expert! I feel my master can’t even compare to him in culinary skills."

"Just cooking? Did he say anything special to you?"

Wang Song was surprised. He genuinely hadn’t expected that the other party had only gone to cook.

Chef Gao Fatty didn’t reveal anything, and upon seeing Gao Fatty leave, Wang Song had someone close the door properly.

"Listen up. Spread the news of the Banshan Sect people coming to Demon Hunting Town. I’ll personally guard the back courtyard. If anything happens tonight, don’t come to save me. Wait for the gang leader’s arrival."

Wang Song took a deep breath. Making this decision, he felt a great struggle within his heart.

"Boss, do those three Banshan Sect guys really dare to make a move? We have so many brothers in Demon Hunting Town, and they only have five people. Why don’t we strike first and take them out?"

The brawny man by the door narrowed his eyes. He had been promoted by Wang Song, and if Wang Song truly fell to the Banshan Sect, he wouldn’t have much of a future in the Sea Shark Gang either.

"Don’t say more. The things in the back courtyard are more important than my life. Since you haven’t dealt with disciples from the Banshan Sect before, you naturally don’t know how formidable they are."

Wang Song waved his hand; he actually didn’t want to act this way. After all, if the Sea Shark Gang’s disciples truthfully followed his instructions and Meng Liang and Tang Ming made a move, he would be doomed.

But his entire family is based in the Sea Shark Gang’s lair. Should anything really happen in Evil Slayer Town, the gang leader would definitely blame his family.

For the sake of his family, he could only choose what’s best for the Sea Shark Gang, which was to spread the news and defend everything the Sea Shark Gang had in Evil Slayer Town.

That way, even if the treasure in Evil Slayer Town was lost, and he died there, at least it would be for the sect, and his family members wouldn’t be harmed.

The gang leader, to win hearts, would also treat his family well.

Seeing Wang Song so adamant, the two brawny men from the Sea Shark Gang in the room sighed deeply, "Sir, we’ll follow your orders, but you must take care of yourself too."

Wang Song nodded and looked out the window. Today’s weather was exceptionally gloomy, seemingly filled with ominous premonitions.

During dinner, Meng Liang introduced his two fellow sect brothers to Tang Ming. Both were disciples of the Banshan Sect, one named Hou Mang and the other Hou Qiang.

The Hou Family brothers were the assistants sent by the Banshan Sect to aid Meng Liang. Both brothers were martial arts enthusiasts, always focusing on either following orders or cultivation.

Tang Ming chatted with them briefly, but they couldn’t really articulate anything. They just grinned at Tang Ming without much knowledge.

After dinner, Meng Zhong returned to the courtyard where Tang Ming and the others were staying. Upon seeing Tang Ming, he awkwardly smiled.

Tang Ming naturally understood Meng Zhong’s intention. He stood up, greeted Meng Liang, and then returned to his room.

Meng Zhong turned around, closed the door, and made sure no one was eavesdropping in the courtyard. He took a deep breath and looked at Meng Liang, "Young master, as far as I know, not long ago, the Sea Shark Gang’s leader brought people to Evil Slayer Town, and recently, the Sea Shark Gang’s activities have been very frequent in this town, as if something major is happening."

"Oh? Does it mean there are benefits to gain?"

Meng Liang’s eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the Hou Family brothers’ faces as well.

"That’s correct. I discovered that after we arrived at the Sea Shark Gang’s inn, the innkeeper Wang Song went to the back courtyard’s storage. The manager was changed to the second shopkeeper. It seems the Sea Shark Gang is wary of us."

Meng Zhong sighed.

Hou Mang snorted, "If they’re wary of us, it means they must have something to hide. Everyone knows what kind of sect the Sea Shark Gang is. If it were up to me, I’d contact Brother Tian and uproot the Sea Shark Gang’s base in Evil Slayer Town."

"Brother Hou, you underestimate the Sea Shark Gang. Just like the Banshan Sect, the Sea Shark Gang is a powerful sect. How could they not have a backing in Tianpo City? For this matter, we take the stuff and leave. If the Sea Shark Gang comes after us, we just deny it. Everyone in the Jiulong Dynasty knows what kind of sect the Sea Shark Gang is."

Meng Liang’s eyes flashed with a sly smile.
