Jiang Zuo discovered that those two really had luck on their side. ’But that undercover agent will be a disaster if he sticks around too long,’ he thought. ’When I have ti, I plan to pay him a visit.’
anwhile, the Holy Land quickly received the news.
Jingyue said helplessly, "Master, the target escaped. But it seems he was scared off by a great Blood Demon senior. Do you think he’ll ambush us on our way back?"
Yue Xi was still lying on the bed, unable to speak.
’I’m getting an ever-stronger urge to kill this disciple of mine. She knows perfectly well I’m conscious but can’t talk, yet she insists on talking to .’
Su Qi said unhappily, "I don’t want to go back. I’m already an adult, I’m married, and the only thing left is to have kids. Why do I still have to attend the ceremony?"
Jingyue said, "A Candidacy Saintess can only retire during the second Saintess election. It’s a strict rule, as you well know."
Su Qi looked at Jingyue and asked, "Senior Sister, when do you plan to retire?"
Jingyue thought for a mont. "If I don’t die prematurely, another five hundred years."
Su Qi despaired. Jiang Zuo would have to live for five hundred years, too. Even with her help, he could at most live for two or three hundred.
Extending an ordinary person’s lifespan was not that easy.
"You said last ti that Master was going to ask for leave for . Has there been any progress on that?"
"You’ll have to ask Master about that. Go on, ask her. Master is right here."
Yue Xi: "..."
Su Qi: "..."
’My Senior Sister must have a death wish lately.’
Then, Su Qi rembered sothing and said imdiately, "Senior Sister, about that Bai Zhang... I heard from Xiaomo and the others that he’s an undercover Blood Demon. We should be on guard against him."
Jingyue propped her chin on her hand and sighed faintly. "I know that, too. But soone powerful is backing him, so it’s not easy for us to make a move."
Su Qi asked curiously, "Senior Sister, are you worried?"
Jingyue nodded. "Yes. The Saintess is seriously injured and hasn’t fully recovered yet. I haven’t live-stread in a long ti, and I hear that Witch from the Demon Cultivators has surpassed my fan count.
I can’t stand for this."
Su Qi: "..."
Then, Su Qi also propped her chin on her hand and sighed. "I want to be with my husband. I don’t want to go back, and I don’t want to go on this trip."
Jingyue, Su Qi: "Sigh."
Yue Xi: "..."
******
On his way back, Jiang Zuo passed by the Tianhe Group building. He thought for a mont and decided to go up to see if there were any commissions. He had nothing better to do right now anyway.
As soon as he got to his desk, Jiang Zuo opened the Perception No. 1 group chat. Since he was already here, he could just have Liuyue Xue send soone over with the dicine, saving him another trip.
The mont he opened it, Jiang Zuo saw they were discussing the trip to the Holy Land.
Fairy Mo Yan: "Why can’t I go? You guys look down on Demon Cultivators."
"That’s right, we do look down on Demon Cultivators, especially Demon Cultivator Mo Yan." Chi Xue Child posted a picture of soone eating a popsicle and said rcilessly.
Liuyue Xue replied: "Fellow Daoist Chi Xue Child, just a reminder, Fairy Mo Yan added sothing to your homade popsicles. You’d better not eat them."
Chi Xue Child, who was on his way back, froze on the spot. He imdiately typed on his phone: "What did Mo Yan add? Why didn’t I taste anything?"
Liu Yiyi: "Zhong Yiyang said she added gutter oil."
Chen Yi sent a row of shocked emojis: "Gutter oil popsicles? Were they good?"
Chi Xue Child posted a constipated-looking emoji: "To be honest, it’s pretty hard to admit... but it tasted quite good. I didn’t taste any greasiness at all."
Fairy Mo Yan: "..."
Blade Master Hai Bian: "Anyway, let’s talk about the Holy Land Priest event. The Holy Land is being generous this ti, probably because everyone helped fight the Blood Demons. Even a Loose Cultivator like is qualified to go."
Fairy Mo Yan: "Then why can’t I go?"
Liuyue Xue said directly, "Because you didn’t help fight the Blood Demons."
Xiao Xiaomo posted a happy emoji: "We can all go! I heard that during the ceremony, you can even increase your Cultivation just by fishing. We’re not going to be slackers this ti!"
Jiang Zuo was a little surprised. ’A ceremony, fishing, and increasing your Cultivation?’
’Such a good deal?’
But Jiang Zuo still couldn’t go. He had his own business to attend to, and increasing his Cultivation held no appeal for him.
He was, however, surprised about the fishing. ’The great and mighty Holy Land actually has people fishing? Since when did Cultivators have ti for such leisurely pursuits?’
Ignoring them, Jiang Zuo directly @’d Liuyue Xue: "Fairy, give a price."
Then he sent a picture of the list of dicinal ingredients he had written.
The mont Jiang Zuo appeared, Mo Yan imdiately asked, "Boss Po Xiao, let ask you sothing. Are there any special Dharma Gates for fishing? Like Array fishing, Mystic Study fishing, or pay-to-win fishing? Preferably one that guarantees a catch every ti."
Po Xiao: "Aren’t you unable to go?"
Mo Yan went quiet. She had forgotten that she couldn’t go.
Liuyue Xue replied imdiately: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, your dicines are getting more expensive each ti. This one will be three Fifth-Grade Spirit Stones. By the way, do the Dharma Gates Fairy Mo Yan ntioned really exist?"
Po Xiao: "Currently, I only know Mystic Study fishing."
His words left everyone speechless. Mo Yan was even more heartbroken. ’So there really is such a bizarre fishing Dharma Gate.’
Soon, Jiang Zuo sent another ssage: "But I don’t plan on going."
Everyone: "..."
After that, Jiang Zuo ignored them. Liuyue Xue had already arranged for soone to deliver the dicine.
’It’s a good thing I joined this group,’ he thought. ’Otherwise, getting the dicine would have wasted more of my ti.’
Only then did Jiang Zuo have ti to check the commissions.
When Jiang Zuo opened the list, a lost dog notice caught his eye.
He clicked on it and saw that the missing dog was none other than the Duoling Dog, Qiqi.
Then Jiang Zuo looked at the reward: one Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone.
That was actually quite expensive. And according to the commission, all he had to do was find its location. There was no need to catch it himself; just notifying the client was enough.
Of course, if one Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for a Duoling Dog, Jiang Zuo felt he would spend all the Spirit Stones he had in an instant.
Jiang Zuo was quite happy to see this lost dog notice, but he didn’t accept it.
Instead, he used the app to contact the client, who was, of course, Xin Linglong.
"One dog leg, and I’ll help you find it."
Among all the commissions, this was the second one that Jiang Zuo found worthy of proactively negotiating.
anwhile, outside, Xin Linglong was continuously using a Secret Technique to search for Qiqi, but to no avail. She was so anxious she was about to cry.
Qiqi had been gone for several days. She never thought Qiqi would get that scared.
’If I had known, I wouldn’t have spoken so carelessly.’
Just then, a ssage suddenly popped up on her phone’s app. She took one look, and her heart sank. It was that Po Xiao again.
If it weren’t for him, her Qiqi would never have gone missing.
Then, without hesitation, she rejected his offer.
Upon receiving the rejection, Jiang Zuo typed on his keyboard again: "I’ve said it before, the greatest value of a Duoling Dog is served on a platter. Have you ever wondered why you haven’t found it after all this ti?
It’s because it has likely already been served on a platter, or is on its way to being served.
You can’t find it, but I can. You may have ti to waste, but that doesn’t an the Duoling Dog does.
The one leg you refuse to give up might cost it its entire life.
By the way, I don’t mind if you get another dog and take its leg instead.
You have thirty seconds to think about it."
Seeing the ssages, Xin Linglong finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into tears.
On the bustling street, her figure looked exceptionally helpless.
Xin Linglong felt incredibly wronged.
Why did she have to run into this Demon? She was just out gaining experience, why did she have to suffer so much?
She missed her parents. She wanted to go ho.
In the end,
Xin Linglong agreed.
