Genres:Sci-Fi and Supernatural Last update:25/03/24 18:09:44
    Another day passed, and at midnight, Deng Chan Yu shot a killer arrow across an eighty-mile distance, killing the goat spirit Yang Xian.

    This monster's ability is even more relaxed, it can only spew a beam of white light, which is used to cover the enemy and prevent the enemy from moving. The power of this beam of light is similar to that of the Humphrey and Haha Twins, but in terms of value, it is far inferior to Jin Dasheng who spews ox bile and Dai Li who spews dog treasure.

    The heavenly arrow was right in front of its eyes, yet this foolish goat still spit out a white light. Deng Chan Yu, eighty miles away, was so worried about its intelligence.

    The four demons followed with great satisfaction and ate some mutton skewers.

    It took several days to find the snake spirit Chang Hao. This guy likes to hide in shady places and doesn't show up often.

    Deng Chan Yu searched for the snake spirit for more than a month on the territory of the northern feudal lords before finding it. Without any chatter, he used a combo of two five-color stones and one patch-the-sky stone to knock it dead.

    Zhu Zizhen, Yang Xian, and Chang Hao are all famous demons listed in the records. Since the Shengdian Platform has not been built yet, their true spirits cannot be returned to their original positions. They are all collected by Deng Chan Yu into the Erwen Jade Charm.

    After Jin Dasheng appeared to explain the situation, the three demons reluctantly accepted the appointment as the plague-quelling messengers.

    Deng Chan Yu knows about the gods, and both Jin Xian and Xian from the Jie Sect also know it. However, the Martial Mountains Seven Demons, who have no powerful backers, don't know this. This information is almost like the ultimate secret of the current era for scattered cultivators.

    The plague-quelling messengers, though not high-ranking officials, are also recognized by the Dao.

    To obtain a job equivalent to a formal immortal, with a formal position and payroll after death, is better than having to be reincarnated as an animal in the next life.

    This life can cultivate to become a spirit for a thousand years, but the next life may not have such fate.

    The four regional plague-quelling messengers from the east, south, west, and north are all in place. The central region's plague-quelling messenger is temporarily unavailable, but the people of the central region cannot give up either. If someone has a headache or fever, it's best to have a place for treatment.

    To be fair, the system of Shang dynasty Si Ming and Gu Shen can also cure diseases, which in later times is considered superstition, but in this era it's not at all. The only problem is that ordinary people simply cannot afford this kind of treatment.

    Deng Chan Yu returned to the capital of Shang, studied for two days, and then rebuilt her Jade Tai Tea House.

    Before, it was to make some merits by earning money through the tea house. Now that the merits have been advanced to her, there is no need to set up another magical artifact house specifically for collecting merits. A simple residential building is sufficient. The responsibility for the Battle of the Nine Dragon Islands lies with Li Qi's greed, Deng Chan Yu's neglect of the value of the tea house, and placing a tea house worth tens of thousands of gold in a crowded market place itself also has some responsibility.

    Jin Dasheng went to be a plague-quelling messenger, and she had to have employees in the tea house, so she posted notices to recruit workers.

    Ma Shi stood in front of the Yu Tai Tea House, taking a look around.

    She carefully read the notice for recruiting workers at the entrance twice.

    Ma Shi is the daughter of Ma Yuanwai, not an illiterate peasant woman, so she has some education.

    Jiang Ziya goes to supervise the construction of the heavenly sacrifice platform at the construction site outside the city every day, coming and going early and late. She has nothing to do, so she wants to do something, not necessarily to supplement the family income, but at least to pass the time.

    Deng Chan Yu transformed into an old man's appearance. She doesn't know who Ma Shi is. After asking a few questions, she found no problem and simply explained the work content and employment relationship of the tea house. The hiring relationship was established immediately.

    During the moon's full phase.

    Aunt Huang led a grand procession from Nanjun to the capital of Shang.

    As the representative of the Deng family, she visited the Marquess Huang Fei Hu with great ceremony. Deng Chan Yu, who had nothing to do, also followed to watch the show.

    Aunt Huang said seriously, "My cousin, let's settle this matter. Xiu will marry Yan in March of next year."

    Huang Fei Hu looked serious, with Huang Fei Biao and Huang Fei Bao standing on either side of him.

    The Great Shang Marquess Huang Fei Hu said decisively, "My daughter is troublesome, and it is her fortune to be married into the Deng family. If she does not respect her in-laws in the future, you can scold her as you wish."

    "Aunt Huang said, "My cousin speaks too much. I have watched Yan grow up, and she is gentle, virtuous, and has a very good temperament."

    Both parties quickly settled the details of the marriage.

    Deng Xiu will marry Huang Fei Hu's only daughter, Huang Yan, next year, making the two families even closer.

    Deng Chan Yu was so bored that she wanted to yawn, until they finished their business, and then she followed Uncle Biao to visit her little sister-in-law.

    Passing by the cowshed, she noticed that the five-color fat cows owned by Huang Fei Hu were not eating; the five-color divine cows were grazing.

    Thinking of Laozi's Green Ox and Quanyao, the divine cow of Tenth Heavenly King, she couldn't help but look at them a bit longer.

    Maybe she smelled the killing of monsters a little too much in the past few days. The five-color divine ox felt her aura and the ox's eyes showed a trace of panic, unconsciously taking two steps back, indicating that you are going to do something. You don't want to come over, do you? Don't come over!

    The younger sister-in-law has a good personality, she is very gentle, and also very decisive. When Deng Chan Yu suggested going out to spar with her, the younger sister-in-law smiled and refused.

    Uncle Biao, who was the cousin of Deng Chan Yu, explained to her: "Yu, you must know that Yan is my brother's precious daughter. When she marries into your Deng family, she must not be mistreated."

    Deng Chan Yu rolled her eyes and thought, "What are you talking about to me? It's not like I'm the one getting married."

    With the Su family's defection and the marriage alliance with the Huang family, Deng's family has made up for some of its talent gap, but it is still lacking, especially in terms of internal administration, which is lacking severely.

    If they could trick Ji Ziyu into coming over, that would be the best. But Deng Chan Yu dared not do such a thing, even to mention it.

    Only other ways to figure it out.

    After arranging the tea house, she advertised for talents in the city of Shang.

    There is a farmstead outside the city of Zhāogē, where it is said that there is an upright cultivator who practices farming. She rode a horse and came to pay him a visit with gifts.

    "However, is it Mr. Ding Cè? I am Deng Chan Yu from Nanjun. I have come to visit you."

    Ding Cè is in his twenties, of average height, with a resolute face. Even though he has just returned from the fields, his actions of washing his hands and face seem very natural and without any awkwardness.

    He asked, "As a rural farmer, I have never met a noble. Miss, you have such a noble air, may I ask what brings you to seek me?"

    Deng Chan Yu is well aware of the behavior of these hermits. Everything they say and do is to enhance their own aura.

    If you are truly a recluse, why don't you choose a place a bit farther away? Living just thirty miles outside the city of Shang, where it takes half a day to get there by horse, is not what I would call seclusion. These people, in essence, still want to be officials; they just haven't found their chance yet.

    Deng Chan Yu pretended to be eager for talent: "I heard that you have visited many outstanding talents, studied military strategies, and learned tactics for governing and ensuring national security. My father, Deng Jiugong, is a loyal minister of the Great Shang. Even though he was sick this summer, he still wore armor and fought against the enemy, but I am a daughter, with no ability to lift a chicken. Seeing my father fight while ill makes my heart ache. Yesterday, I heard your name and today I specifically came to visit you. Please see my wholehearted sincerity. With the help of Chénggāng society and the people of southern frontier, please consider coming out to help us!"

    Pengzi, who was outside, couldn't help but sneeze twice. Handless to bind a chicken? This is said about you? What a huge lie! Zhu Zizhen, Yang Xian, and Chang Hao have already cried in the toilet.
