What did you say? Am I a pauper again?

Chapter 330 The New City Lord
"Oh, you are joking. Master Edelweiss, I invite you to come."

"Help you seize the position of city lord?" Jing Yuanzhi's voice was light.

Li Hui looked surprised and a little flustered: "No..."

"If it's not this, then what is it?" Jing Yuanzhi looked at him with clear and bright eyes, without any emotion.

"Li Hui, since you lost to your brother before, why should I help you seize the position of city lord? You are the son of the former city lord, and you should know how much panic the replacement of a city lord will cause. Moreover, since you have already lost, you must learn to face reality." Jing Yuanzhi took a sip of tea.

She didn't want to get involved in these things. Although she had never experienced them, she had seen a lot of them.

In this kind of thing, intrigue is inevitable, and some people will do anything for power.

"Master Edelweiss, I..." Li Hun suddenly didn't know what to say.

The eyes of this Edelweiss fairy were so penetrating that they seemed to see everything, which made him unable to say anything else.

"Since there is nothing else, I'm leaving. Sanrong, let's go." Jing Yuanzhi stood up, called Sanrong and wanted to leave.

"Master Xuerong, our acquaintance is fate. I wonder if I can ask you for advice when I have other matters." Li Hun was unwilling to see a cultivator he had finally found leave like that, so he stood up and tried to keep him.

Jing Yuanzhi paused for a moment, then left with Sanrong.

Li Hun sat on a stool, looking at the empty and extremely dilapidated thatched house, and suddenly laughed at himself.

"How cruel! Why didn't you kill him earlier? Why did you let him live?" Li Hun looked extremely depressed and muttered to himself.

"Ah~" Sanrong watched Jing Yuanzhi stretch out his claws and pull her clothes.

Jing Yuanzhi smiled and rubbed Sanrong's paws: "Let's go eat something first, Sanrong, are you hungry?"

"Ah!" Sanrong nodded excitedly.

Jing Yuanzhi took Sanrong out only after he had eaten his fill this time.

This time the town seems to be quite peaceful, and the people here seem to be living a happy life.

Sanrong was too big, and it was inconvenient to carry it inside. Jing Yuanzhi thought of a spell he had learned before.

"Sanrong, come stand in front of me."

"Ah!" Sanrong took a string of candied haws in his hand and bit them into his mouth, then walked swayingly to Jing Yuanzhi.

"Come, stand still and don't move." Jing Yuanzhi looked at Sanrong, recalling the spell in his mind, and his hands gradually began to glow.

"Change!"

"Ah?!" Jing Yuanzhi in Sanrong's field of vision suddenly became very big. It looked at Jing Yuanzhi with its big, confused eyes, and hadn't reacted yet.

Jing Yuanzhi looked at Sanrong, who was only as tall as her calves, nodded with satisfaction, and picked Sanrong up: "Sanrong, you are just the right size now, so I can take you into the city at will."

Jing Yuanzhi rubbed Sanrong's furry head and said with a smile.

"Well, you don't have to worry about being noticed by those people because of your huge size. All right, let's go into the town now!"

Jing Yuanzhi held Sanrong and found an inn, where they stayed.

Below the inn is the dining area, with only a few people here and there, all of whom seem to be from other places, because you can clearly hear the difference in their accents.

Jing Yuanzhi went in and looked around the house, then asked the waiter to bring up some hot water.

She wanted to take a nice bath.

Sanrong was already running around in the house at this time. Before, it was too big, so as long as it was in the aii house, it could only hide in a corner. Now that it has become smaller, it can jump around freely in the house. This experience is simply great.

After taking a hot bath, Jing Yuanzhi wanted to ask someone to bring up some food, but then he remembered that Sanrong wanted to go out and play, and he had always been confined to places where there were no people because of his size, so now that he had become smaller, he took him out to see the world.

Jing Yuanzhi carried Sanrong downstairs to eat.

"What would you like to order, young lady?" The waiter came forward immediately when he saw them coming down.

"Well, serve us some of the signature dishes, and more meat." Sanrong has a big appetite and prefers meat, so Jingyuanzhi didn't even bother to ask what the dishes were.

"Okay!" The waiter went over to announce the dishes.

Jing Yuanzhi sat aside, Sanrong jumped onto the table, looking here and there curiously.

"Miss, your food is ready!" The waiter came up with the food.

Sanrong immediately sat next to Jingyuanzhi and waited for the food to be served.

"Sanrong, eat more later. Although your body size has become smaller, but... your appetite should not have decreased, right?" Jing Yuanzhi asked uncertainly.

"Ah!" Sanrong nodded excitedly.

Jing Yuanzhi first picked up a large piece of beef for Sanrong and put it on the plate in front of it, and then started eating it himself.

"Hey, do you think the new city lord will reduce some taxes this time?"

"What are you thinking about? I have never seen a newly appointed city lord reduce taxes. Even if they reduce them now, they will find reasons to increase them again after a while, and they may even be heavier than before." The man spoke with dissatisfaction and disgust in his tone.

Whether the city lord is changed or not has nothing to do with them. Anyway, those city lords never care about the people under their territory, but their own interests and rights.

"Yeah, you're right." The man who started the conversation sighed deeply. He had forgotten again.

"But I heard that the new city lord seems to be quite kind. The previous city lord had more than ten sons. The new city lord stood out among these ten people, but he did not kill his brothers. Instead, he sent them to the small towns on the edge of the city. Do you think this city lord is a good person? Then, he should be better to us civilians than the previous city lord, right?" Someone said with some expectation in his tone.

His companion rolled his eyes at him and said, "You believe what those powerful people do. You are so stupid. Although he didn't kill them, he let his brothers watch him calling the shots in the position of city lord. Do you think his brothers will feel good? Moreover, his brothers said that he sent them to other towns. Do you really believe that the city lord wants these people to live a good life in the town?"

"Tsk, you are so stupid!"

The man's companion said with some disappointment.

"Oh, is that so?" The man touched his head foolishly. It turned out that there were so many hidden stories behind it.

"I say, you guys are openly talking about the city lord in the inn, aren't you afraid that the city lord will find out and punish you one day?" A somewhat low voice interrupted their chat.

When those people heard this, they immediately shut up.

Indeed, although this is just a small town and there are no big shots in it, there is no guarantee that there will be no villains!

If the city lord knew about them talking casually about him like this, they would be finished. Who knows what kind of person the new city lord is.
