My Co-renting Lady Boss

"Oh? Not staying in Hailong City, can I know why you won’t stay there?"

Tie Shan raised an eyebrow, he hadn’t expected Tang Ming to say he wouldn’t stay in Hailong City.

"I’m a wanted fugitive of the Qingfeng Dynasty. You must have heard about the recent black rain attack on Coastal City of the Qingfeng Dynasty, right?"

Tang Ming glanced around and, seeing that no one was approaching, lowered his voice to speak with Tie Shan.

Tie Shan’s eyes narrowed: "You’re that Tang Ming."

"What, does the senior want to capture me for a reward?"

Tang Ming nodded and looked at Tie Shan.

Tie Shan waved his hand: "I’m not from the Qingfeng Dynasty, what reward would I get for capturing you? But since you have enmity with the Qingfeng Dynasty, it’s indeed not suitable to stay in Hailong City. I’ll introduce you to a place, don’t know if you’re interested."

"Oh, the senior can say whatever good place you have. Currently, I’m most yearning for Immortal Mountain, but unfortunately, with my current strength, I probably don’t have the ability to reach it."

Tang Ming sighed deeply.

Tie Shan laughed heartily: "No, no, no. You’re wrong. The place I’m introducing to you, if you can develop there, going to the Immortal Mountain isn’t impossible. Have you heard of the Jiulong Tower of the Jiulong Dynasty?"

Tang Ming’s pupils contracted, the Jiulong Dynasty was actually a dynasty established by the Jiulong Tower. Within the Jiulong Dynasty, there were the positions of Tower Master, City Lord, and General; every matter in the city required the management of the tower master, the city lord of the City Lord Mansion, and the city’s stationed general.

This was quite similar to the system Tang Ming encountered in the Mortal World.

Of course, these were not the essential points; the important matter was that behind the Jiulong Tower, there was a sect called the Imprisoned Dragon Sect. This sect originated from the Immortal Mountain, a powerful sect above it.

"Everyone who knows about the Jiulong Dynasty has heard of the Jiulong Tower. How? You want to introduce me to the Jiulong Tower? It doesn’t seem that they accept just anyone."

Tang Ming took a deep breath. If he could really enter the Jiulong Tower, he would indeed have a substantial chance to join the Imprisoned Dragon Sect on the Immortal Mountain.

Tie Shan nodded: "That’s right, Ying Chou’s wife is called Meng Yao, she’s from the Meng Family of Hailong City. Her elder brother Meng Liang is going to take office in West Desolation City soon; if you want to go with him, you can be his advisor."

Tang Ming understood. Tie Shan’s mention of being an ’advisor’ actually just meant being an attendant. But for him currently, following Meng Liang as an attendant to take office in West Desolation City was indeed a good choice.

"I agree. I’m just not sure if Brother Meng Liang will need an advisor as useless as me."

Tang Ming laughed self-deprecatingly.

Tie Shan laughed and patted Tang Ming’s shoulder: "Once you meet Meng Liang, you’ll know he definitely needs an advisor like you."

Tang Ming didn’t understand why Tie Shan was so confident, but when he arrived at Hailong City and saw Meng Liang, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Meng Liang was a giant over three meters tall, looking like he weighed five to six hundred pounds, appearing like a massive ball of flesh.

Hearing that Tang Ming was good at cooking, the flesh on Meng Liang’s body quivered with laughter: "Wahaha, Brother Tang Ming, what I need is an advisor like you. To be honest, I’m really reluctant to go to that ghostly place, West Desolation, but orders from above have come down, I can’t not go. Thankfully Uncle Tie and Ying Chou met you."

"Brother, Ying Chou didn’t invite Brother Tang to help you cook. He’s an Ascender, just like Ying Chou. Judging by Brother Tang’s demeanor, he was definitely a prominent figure in the Lower Realm. My brother can be a bit careless, but once in West Desolation City, please assist Brother Tang a lot."

Chapter 45: Testing Tang Ming

Meng Yao came to Meng Liang’s side.

Tang Ming’s gaze swept over Meng Yao and Meng Liang, he couldn’t believe that this refined woman was actually Meng Liang’s biological sister.

"Sister-in-law, you’re too polite. For Ying Chou’s sake, I’ll definitely help Brother Meng Liang get things done. I’m just curious, what position will Brother Meng Liang hold in West Desolation City?"

Tang Ming smiled and looked at Meng Liang.

Meng Liang waved his massive palm: "General, a cushy job, otherwise it wouldn’t be given to me. Let’s go, Brother Tang, let’s talk in the living room, it’s too hot in the courtyard."

Meng Liang’s body quickly shrunk, transforming into the appearance of a normal person.

Seeing Tang Ming’s bewildered gaze, Ying Chou came over and explained to Tang Ming.

It turned out that Meng Liang was a disciple of the Banshan Sect of the Jiulong Dynasty. Due to the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Banshan Sect disciples, they turned into such giants.

However, giant forms could sometimes be inconvenient, so the Banshan Sect had a secret technique that reduced body size. When this secret technique was performed, Meng Liang would return to normal human height and size, but his weight remained unchanged.

Moreover, because the secret technique reduced size and height, it caused significant pain to the Banshan Sect disciples who performed the technique. Therefore, most Banshan Sect disciples lived in spacious rooms.

After Meng Liang and Meng Yao entered the living room, they exchanged a few pleasantries with Tang Ming. Tang Ming could discern that the Meng siblings had their own hidden motives, so he bid farewell in advance.

Tang Ming was arranged by Meng Yao to stay in the east courtyard of the Meng Family. Seeing Tang Ming leave, Meng Yao’s gaze fell on Ying Chou: "Is this boy reliable?"

"Ascenders are known to have their pride, and you know this better than me. I believe he’s a good person, which is why I invited him to be an advisor for my brother."

Ying Chou paused briefly before speaking.

"Pride is something that will eventually be worn down. Ying Chou, after I leave Hailong City, I’ll leave the family matters to you and Meng Yao. Mother has gone into seclusion again a few days ago. I heard recently that the Demon Clan on the West Coast is not behaving well, so be extra cautious when you go out."

Although Meng Liang was tall and honest-looking, the wisdom in his eyes made it hard for people to underestimate him.

Ying Chou nodded, while Meng Yao stood up smilingly: "I say, brother, when did you become so verbose? It’s just that Nine-Headed Sea Snake causing trouble with the Qingfeng Family, right? I heard that Qingfeng Iron Blood, that old guy, personally went to its lair and chopped off three of its heads to bring back to the Royal Capital."

"This incident indeed happened. Tang Ming seems to have connections with this matter. The people from the Qingfeng Dynasty are hunting him for it, and I heard he might have connections with the Demon Clan on the West Coast."

Ying Chou nodded.

The brows of the Meng siblings furrowed. Meng Liang stood up, his eyes narrowed as he looked outside the door: "Tang Ming might have connections with the Demon Clan on the West Coast. If he comes to Hailong City, might he have relations with those demons? Could it be that the Demon Clan wants to target Hailong City?"
