Before leaving, Shen Ye released the villagers of Lishan Village from the magic spells. The villagers were unaware and curious about Shen Ye and his group of city dwellers, showing both interest and hospitality, and they were very innocent and lovely.

After getting in the car, Shen Ye sighed and said, “If we could develop a tourist area, it would be a good thing for the villagers. At least it could increase some income.”

The village was too poor. The villagers’ houses were all old wooden houses that seemed like they could collapse with a gust of wind.

Ye Ze looked at him and said softly, “Good.”

Shen Ye: “???”

He was just sighing, but it seemed that Ye Ze had taken it seriously and was already instructing Zong Yiming to make a development plan for the development of tourism in Lishan Village.

Shen Ye didn’t know how to react for a moment. He felt like laughing and wanted to hug the man and scream with excitement. Just because of one sentence, the man sent his subordinates to write a plan.

Why did he feel like a scheming concubine seducing the emperor?

“It’s not really necessary…” Shen Ye was afraid of burdening Ye Ze.

Ye Ze held his hand and said, “When the county leaders change, this road will definitely be repaired. There will be more and more contact between Lishan Village and the outside world. I’m a businessman, and of course, I will consider input and output. I called Zong Yiming to make the plan because I see the potential in this project. It has nothing to do with you.”

However, Shen Ye knew that the man was just trying to comfort him.

Lishan Village is in a very remote location without trains, high-speed rail, or even highways. Even if the scenery is good and a scenic area is built in the future, there may not be immediate customer flow, and it may take several years to generate income.

In the end, it was because of his sentence that the man made such a decision.

Shen Ye looked up at Ye Ze and said, “I’ll make braised pork ribs for you when we get back.”

In his heart, cooking for each other was probably the most beautiful expression of love.

He liked to cook for Ye Ze, and he also liked Ye Ze to cook for him.

Actually, Ye Ze’s cooking skills were not particularly good, not as good as the family chef’s, but Shen Ye just liked the feeling of eating his cooking, which was different.

And…he also liked to see Ye Ze wearing an apron and cooking for him.

Ye Ze looked at him and smiled slightly, “Okay.”

Behind them was a fairyland shrouded in clouds and mist, and below the mountain was a world filled with smoke and fire.

Ye Ze still preferred to live in the mundane world with the child.

The child cooked for him, and he quarreled with him to sleep together. This was all he wanted in life.

When they returned to the county, the military leader had already taken away the other parties involved. Because it also involved officials from the provincial and municipal levels, there was still a lot to be done. The group was preparing to rush back to the provincial capital.

The military leader whispered to Ye Ze, “There are reporters who want to cover this, what do you think?”

This was a big case and it also involved superstitious events, so the higher-ups actually wanted to suppress it.

But since it was Ye Ze who took the lead in this matter, they needed to consult him first.

Ye Ze turned to look at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye thought for a moment and said, “Let me ask Lin Zhi first if she wants to publicize her father’s story…Her father’s leg is probably not going to heal. If we can draw attention to it, it could also provide some security for her family’s future.”

Of course, this had to be done with Lin Zhi’s consent.

The Lin family was already in a tragic state. Perhaps, Lin Zhi did not want the outside world to know about their situation.

“Okay,” Ye Ze turned to the military leader, “Do as he says, thank you.”

The military leader thought for a moment, it was only reporting Father Lin’s righteousness and responsibility, which was not a big deal, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

When they rushed back to the provincial capital, it was already evening. Zong Yiming had already booked a ticket to return to Haicheng at night and Shen Ye went straight to the hospital to see Lin Zhi.

When Lin Zhi learned that everything was related to an old Taoist and that Lishan Village had almost been destroyed by the old Taoist, she was so shocked that she couldn’t speak.

“Thank goodness you were here to help!” It took Lin Zhi a while to come back to her senses, and she was grateful to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye shook his head and asked Lin Zhi what she thought about the reporter wanting to report on Father Lin’s deeds.

After thinking for a while, Lin Zhi said, “I don’t mind if everyone knows about my dad’s situation. I hope justice will eventually overcome evil forces.”

In fact, she wanted everyone to know Shen Ye’s contribution to this matter.

If it weren’t for Shen Ye, her parents would probably have been silenced long ago, and the villagers of Lishan Village would have been killed by the old Taoist. The embezzled public funds from the county could not be recovered and the leaders involved would continue to be corrupt.

After hearing her thoughts, Shen Ye smiled and shook his head, saying, “I’m a person who likes to keep a low profile.”

Lin Zhi was amused and paused for a moment before saying seriously, “Anyway, as a party involved, I know that we owe everything to you and your fiancé. I will be grateful to you for my whole life, pray for you, and you will be happy forever.”

It is said that Shen Ye’s fiancé will also allocate funds to build a scenic area in Lishan Village, which is a great thing!

Lin Zhi kept it in mind and planned to tell her parents and the villagers about it so that everyone would remember Ye Ze’s kindness.

Shen Ye and Ye Ze looked at each other.

They felt Lin Zhi’s sincerity.

To be honest, Shen Ye was very happy. The worst thing was to do a good deed and not be appreciated. But obviously, Lin Zhi was a person who knew how to be grateful. Shen Ye felt that running this errand was worth it.

Of course, receiving that box of cinnabar was another unexpected pleasure.

Just thinking about the golden dragon on Ye Ze’s finger made Shen Ye wonder if it would affect Ye Ze’s health… Shen Ye felt a little depressed.

He could only secretly keep an eye on the situation of the little golden dragon. If it was harmful to Ye Ze, he would risk his life to separate the golden dragon from Ye Ze.

After dealing with things on Lin Zhi’s side, Shen Ye and Ye Ze were ready to leave for Haicheng.

Before leaving, Ye Ze chatted with two military district leaders for a while.

Shen Ye did not interrupt them and sat aside to rest.

Before, he dealt with an old Taoist, and later he lifted the spell for the villagers of Lishan Village. He was actually quite tired, but fortunately, Ye Ze was always by his side, soothing him with the purple aura, and he recovered well.

After about ten minutes, Ye Ze returned.

Shen Ye smiled and asked, “Is it over?”

Ye Ze held his hand and nodded, “We talked about the establishment of a scenic area in Lishan Village.”

Establishing a scenic area requires many procedures that Shen Ye doesn’t understand, so he didn’t ask much.

At more than 10 PM, the group finally returned to Rongyuan!

Shen Shimu followed all the way and collapsed on the sofa as soon as he got home. “So tired.”

But it was worth it.

He witnessed Shen Ye’s divine skills and he could now exchange ideas with Fu Guanglin in the future.

This time, Ye Tangdi did not go to the southern province with them. He was curious when he saw that Shen Shimu was so tired and asked, “Did you guys go hiking?”

“…More or less.” Shen Shimu remembered the road in Lishan Village and still had lingering fears.

Fortunately, Shen Ye was skilled enough to drive smoothly, otherwise, he would have been in worse condition.

But the scenery in Lishan Village is indeed beautiful. Shen Shimu agrees with Ye Ze’s investment in the scenic area.

Even if he can’t make money, it’s still good to have a chance to go on vacation in the future.

Shen Ye smiled and said, “Actually, I have a small spell that can relieve your fatigue.”

“Really?” Shen Shimu sat up straight.

“Uh-huh.” Shen Ye recited a spell.

The effect was immediate. Shen Shimu moved his body and felt the fatigue on his body disappear instantly. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Big sister-in-law, you’re amazing!”

Shen Ye chuckled.

In front of familiar people, he has never been one to keep a low profile. He raises his chin and says, “That’s right!”

Ye Ze stands beside him, smiling at him with raised eyebrows.

Shen Ye blinks and grabs the man’s arm, “Uncle, let’s go back to our room and rest!”

It’s too late today, he can make braised pork ribs for Ye Ze tomorrow.

Ye Ze didn’t refuse and let him lead him back to the bedroom.

As soon as the door closes, Shen Ye hugs Ye Ze with both hands and feet, “I’m so tired.”

Ye Ze holds his waist, “You… can use spells to relieve your fatigue.”

“No, I just want kisses.” Shen Ye pouts.

Ye Ze laughs and kisses him while carrying him toward the bathroom.

After washing up, they finally lay on the long-awaited bed, and Shen Ye sighs with relief.

Ye Ze holds him in his arms and gently plays with his hair with his fingertips, “Will you… become an immortal?”

Although he has made a decision that he will go wherever the child goes, becoming immortal may require some luck, and he is not sure if he can keep up.

This is the question he has been pondering all the way.

Shen Ye is taken aback, then shakes his head and laughs, “Becoming an immortal is not an easy thing.”

Ye Ze didn’t say anything, just looks at him quietly.

“Becoming an immortal is the dream of every cultivator, but the probability is too small. I have never thought of becoming immortal one day,” Shen Ye rubs Ye Ze’s shoulder and tells him his thoughts, “I just hope that my grandma and grandpa are healthy, and you stay with me every day.”

“Of course, if you learn how to make spicy fish, I will be even happier,” Shen Ye emphasizes in the end.

Ye Ze: “…”

After all that talk, making spicy fish is still more important.

“Um, I’ll make it for you tomorrow,” Ye Ze kisses his forehead.

Shen Ye hugs Ye Ze’s waist tightly.

He really hasn’t thought about becoming immortal. When he first arrived, he just wanted to complete his soul. Now that he is with Ye Ze, he has to be responsible. He can’t just leave Ye Ze and go become immortal by himself.

Moreover, becoming immortal is not something that can be achieved just by wanting it.

Of course, if they both cultivate together, that would be possible.

Maybe that little golden dragon will be the opportunity.

Shen Ye thinks about trying to introduce Ye Ze to cultivation, then he smells the familiar scent of bath gel and the warm purple aura on Ye Ze’s body and soon falls asleep.

A good night’s sleep.

On the second day, Shen Ye and Ye Ze were planning to visit Ye Hong’s grandfather in the afternoon. For lunch, Ye Ze was learning to cook fish with chopped chili peppers in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Shen Ye was studying the new cinnabar he had obtained in the living room. He used the peachwood brush to draw talismans with cinnabar and found that the effect on the paper had improved by more than five times. Moreover, he could save mental power when using symbols. 

‘This is truly a treasure,’ Shen Ye thought happily.

Xu Sisi was watching him fiddling with the cinnabar curiously and asked, “What’s so special about this cinnabar?” She had gone to buy cinnabar with Shen Ye before but didn’t see him cherish it so much.

“Of course, it’s useful,” Shen Ye boasted.

Xu Sisi didn’t understand these things and shrugged, changing the subject to gossip: “Li Xiaoqing is going to marry Jin Xu.”

“Impossible,” Shen Ye’s gaze shifted from the cinnabar to her. Li Xiaoqing’s face showed that she would be her own worst enemy and she and Jin Xu didn’t even have the look of a married couple. How could she marry Jin Xu?

“I wasn’t going to tell you, but…there have been some negative comments online,” Xu Sisi sighed.

Shen Ye opened his Weibo and searched for Li Xiaoqing, where he saw a message: [“Li Xiaoqing and the young master of the Jin family, Jin Xu, will soon get married in three months.”]

Netizens were discussing it in the comments:

[“Wow, the third-party defeated the original partner and is going to marry into a wealthy family?”]

[“The original partner is so pitiful.”]

[“The third party can do it, 666666.”]

Several comments related to Shen Ye also appeared below:

[“I heard that Shen Ye is good at fortune-telling. Li Xiaoqing will have trouble, right? How could Li Xiaoqing become a phoenix on a branch so soon?”]

[“I also find it strange. Shen Ye’s fortune-telling is accurate. “]

[“It’s probably just a bluff. Everyone should read more about prosperity, democracy, and harmony instead of practicing this feudal superstition.”]

These comments should be made by Li Xiaoqing’s fans, all mocking Shen Ye.

The fact that Li Xiaoqing became a third party a few days ago was well-known, and netizens criticized her heavily. Now that she had defeated the original partner and was going to marry Jin Xu, it was like turning defeat into victory. Her fans were overjoyed!

As for Shen Ye, who had read Li Xiaoqing’s fortune before, her fans hated him and wouldn’t miss the opportunity to ridicule him.

Shen Ye didn’t expect Li Xiaoqing would make trouble again in just two days.

He sneered, typed, and posted it on Weibo: [“I have never been wrong. We will see what happens in two days.”]

Author's note My darlings, there will only be one update today, as I want to adjust my schedule. I slept at around 2 AM last night and my head has been foggy all day today. If I don’t sleep well, I won’t be in good spirits.
