My Daily Life of Farming in the World of Cultivation

Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Giant Whale Gang
 

At this moment, a skinny young boy came up to him with nods and bows.

“Sir, is this your first time on the island? Do you need a guide?

I’m familiar with everything on this island, big or small!

Plus, my services are cheap, just one tael of silver per day!

Give it some thought!”

Fang Yun glanced at the young boy before him, uncertain whether one tael of silver for a guide was expensive for this island.

But then he remembered that when he left the Fang Family, he hadn’t brought any silver with him.

In other words, he actually didn’t have any money on him.

That was somewhat awkward.

It seemed he needed to find Black Widow and her group as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have a place to stay on this island.

Without showing that he was penniless, Fang Yun nodded at the boy and looked around at the people nearby, then said, “Okay, let’s walk and talk!”

“Alright, sir, follow me. Would you like to go to an inn first, or are you here to sell goods?”

The boy, seeing the bag in Fang Yun’s hand, thought he had come to sell merchandise.

Fang Yun shook his head: “Have you ever heard of someone named Black Widow?”

“Black Widow?”

The young boy scratched his head as he walked, with white dandruff flying in the air with his movements.

Seeing this, Fang Yun slowed down his pace and discreetly increased the distance between himself and the boy.

The boy looked back, unconcerned with Fang Yun’s distaste, and directly said, “Sir, about this Black Widow you mentioned, I have heard about such a person, though I don’t know if it’s the one you’re looking for.

Rumor has it that she’s a very beautiful woman who led a force of pirates and had some renown on the seas a few years ago.

Later, after provoking a Cultivator family, they were all wiped out.

She disappeared for a while, then reemerged at sea stronger than before.

But, about a year ago, it seems she joined forces with the Giant Whale Gang, and Black Widow has become the little consort of the Gang Leader!

If you’re looking for her, I can take you to the Giant Whale Gang’s territory!

Just that, the Giant Whale Gang isn’t easy to deal with, so if you have any grievances with them, it’s best to be careful!”

Fang Yun frowned slightly, hearing the young boy say that, Fang Yun knew that Black Widow must be the person he was looking for.

Unexpectedly, they had been swallowed by the Giant Whale Gang.

This was not good news for him.

After all, Black Widow and her group were, nominally, his subordinates.

The Giant Whale Gang absorbing them meant, to a certain extent, that they had turned against him.

Given Fang Yun’s new arrival status, he really didn’t want to clash too hard with a local power, especially not knowing their strength.

It wasn’t that he was afraid, for with Fang Yun’s understanding of Gui Ling Island, even if there were Cultivators present, they likely weren’t very strong.

But, as a local gang, no one knew what hidden strengths they might have.

Confronting them rashly was still somewhat risky.

“Sir, what do you think?”

Fang Yun looked at the young boy before him and thought it over.

He was completely broke, and if he didn’t find Black Widow and her group, he couldn’t afford the guide fee, let alone a place to stay at an inn.

And he couldn’t just sleep on the streets, although he personally wasn’t bothered by it.

But if he did, nuisances from the surroundings would be relentless.

There really is no need for that.

“How strong is the Giant Whale Gang?” Fang Yun asked.

The youth, upon hearing Fang Yun’s question, was suddenly taken aback.

The words he had just spoken were merely precautionary, and he had not thought that someone like Fang Yun, all alone, would have any conflict with the Giant Whale Gang, one of the three major forces on Gui Ling Island.

But hearing Fang Yun’s words, it seemed as if he was looking for trouble with the Giant Whale Gang, which was not good news for him; it could unintentionally implicate him.

For the sake of a silver or two of guide fees, it was not worth the risk for him.

These thoughts flashed through the youth’s mind in the blink of an eye, and then he assessed Fang Yun without showing any reaction.

He really couldn’t see anything exceptional about Fang Yun and didn’t think he could gain any advantage over the Giant Whale Gang.

So, the youth directly said, “Sir, I’m just an ordinary citizen and not very clear about the strength of the Giant Whale Gang.

If you want to go to the Giant Whale Gang, just walk straight down this street, turn a corner, and you’ll see a huge mansion. That is where the Giant Whale Gang is based.

I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t accompany you. What about the guide fee?”

Fang Yun tilted his head and glanced at him, not expecting the youth in front of him to be so perceptive; with just a single mention, he sensed the risk involved.

Truly, he is a local who has managed to survive in a pirate haven.

“No money! My money is with Black Widow, you can accompany me to get it!”

The youth chuckled dryly, “Then forget it, I only said a few words, no need for any fee, good luck to you, sir!”

After that, the youth turned and ran.

Fang Yun shook his head helplessly, sensing the vines under his feet, he felt somewhat reassured.

And so, he headed towards the Giant Whale Gang’s base.

Upon reaching the end of the street and turning onto another, he indeed saw the entrance to the mansion that the youth had mentioned.

Seven or eight sturdy men stood at the entrance.

Their gaze firmly fixed on passersby, deterring them from daring to approach lightly.

Fang Yun, seeing this, knew that the Giant Whale Gang were not easy to deal with.

After thinking for a bit, he still walked straight toward them.

“Hey, kid, if you want to sell goods you should head to the east side of the island; this isn’t the place for you!”

Upon seeing Fang Yun walking straight towards them, one of the men at the Giant Whale Gang’s entrance shouted loudly.

At the same time, seven or eight people directed their gaze at him; if he were just a normal citizen, he would probably have been scared out of his wits by now.

Fang Yun smiled faintly, set down his bag, and then said, “I’m not here to sell anything, I’m looking for Black Widow,

I heard that she married your Gang Leader?”

“You’re looking for our lady? What’s your relationship with her?” The man who had spoken earlier eyed Fang Yun, his mind filled with unknown thoughts.

“Just an acquaintance!”

“Alright, then you wait here a moment!”

After thinking it over, the man agreed to go report the visit.

Although Black Widow was just a concubine of the Giant Whale Gang Leader, to them, she was still their lady.

They ultimately couldn’t just casually chase away a guest of Black Widow.

So, he waved his hand backward, and a subordinate immediately ran into the mansion.

Fang Yun was in no rush, standing there quietly taking in the Giant Whale Gang’s entrance.

To be honest, the entrance of the Giant Whale Gang was rather impressive.

Thirty-some meters wide and more than twenty meters tall.

The gate was entirely black, with several dozen golden studs embedded in it.

And there were some mysterious patterns painted on it, somewhat resembling the patterns on Spirit Talismans.

Although not necessarily functional, they certainly looked the part.
