Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 27 focuses on spiritual rewards.
They conducted a thorough search of Jiangxin Village, but ultimately found no trace of the demon.

noon,

Sunlight spills across the fields, bathing the earth in its warmth.

Anzhi then realized that the spirit snake was gone.

"Snake Baby, Snake Baby, are you hiding?"

"Oh no, oh no, Snake Baby, you can't be hurt!"

Anzhi searched for a long time in Jiangxin Village, even turning the village chief Niu Benben's house upside down, but still couldn't find it.

Just then, Kui Ran appeared under the big tree opposite, her smile barely concealed.

I wipe it,

Anzhi immediately had a terrifying thought: had the spirit snake been captured by Kuiran?

With this question in mind, Anzhi strode forward and snatched the wine gourd from Kuiran's waist without saying a word.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Kui Ran felt confused.

Anzhi opened the bottle and poured out all the wine, but found nothing. So he questioned, "Tell me, did you capture my Snake Treasure? Did you?"

Kui Ran was completely baffled. He had indeed been eyeing the spirit snake, but he hadn't touched it all morning.

"Me? I'm not as despicable as you, taking other people's things without telling them." After saying that, Kui Ran reluctantly dripped the last few drops of wine from the gourd into her mouth.

Anzhi asked, puzzled, "Then what were you laughing at just now?"

Kui Ran was surprised. Are all women like this? He said with a bit of a wry smile, "Does my smile mean it's me? Hahahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous. I'm smiling now, doesn't it look like me? Hahahaha."

Anzhi was also annoyed by Kui Ran's sarcastic remarks, and she turned around again in a hurry to look for her.

Before they could find the serpent, the two were invited into the village ancestral hall by the villagers.

This is where the village handles important matters.

Today is a special day for Jiangxin Village. The river monster that threatened the village's safety has been captured by two young men, and the village chief is going to keep his promise.

Kui Ran and An Zhi were surrounded by villagers and carried with them flowers to the ancestral hall.

This was the first time in Shen Anzhi's life that she had been recognized, and by so many people at that, which made her feel incredibly honored.

Then came the crackling sound of firecrackers.

After the firecrackers stopped, two villagers carried two stone figures to the ancestral hall.

Niu Benben: "Fellow villagers, today, Shen Anzhi from Sanqing Palace and Kui Ran from Wugong Mountain helped our village get rid of the demon scourge. They are our great benefactors. To express our gratitude, we have erected statues of them at the entrance of the village."

A statue! Kui Ran almost laughed in anger: "This, this is me? This is clearly two lumps of stone!"

Anzhi was so angry when he saw this that he almost fainted. It was just a lump of stone, with a small part on top that looked like a head and a larger part below that looked like a body. There were no eyes or nose, and not even hands or feet. This was a statue!

"Hehe." Kui Ran said to the village chief Niu with a somewhat awkward and exasperated expression, "Village chief, stop with the nonsense and pay the reward. Just like we agreed before, I don't want twenty taels of silver, just five taels. Give it to me."

Upon hearing this, Niu Benben frowned and said, "Oh, young man, talking about money is too formal. You are young and have a bright future ahead of you. You should think long-term. The villagers' recognition of you is invaluable."

"Ah!" Kui Ran was shocked and exclaimed angrily, exchanging a glance with An Zhi beside her. "So you don't want to give me a single cent?"

Niu Benben: "What are you saying? Do you think we're that kind of people? If we don't give it to them, the villagers won't agree." After saying that, Niu Benben looked at the villagers and said, "Young Master Shen and Young Master Kui are great benefactors of our Jiangxin Village. We just discussed paying them five taels of silver as a reward according to the announcement, but I feel that talking about money is a disrespect for the two young masters and an insult to their abilities. I suggest that everyone express their gratitude in their own way."

Shen Anzhi had never experienced anything like this before, let alone being praised by hundreds of villagers. She stood there dumbly on the stage, only able to keep smiling and nodding at the villagers, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"Thank you, this is what we demon hunters should do." Anzhi nodded repeatedly in gratitude for everyone's recognition and praise.

This made Kui Ran very anxious. She nudged An Zhi with her elbow and said, "What are you grinning about? They don't want to pay."

“Yes, I know. I think everyone’s approval is the most important thing.” An Zhi nodded proudly: “Exorcising demons and protecting the people is our duty. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”

"it is good……"

"Clap clap clap..."

Anzhi's words immediately drew cheers and approval from hundreds of villagers, whose hands were calloused from clapping.

Kui Ran's smile gradually froze, and she thought to herself, "Oh no, this girl has been flattered to death."

And so, on this demon-hunting expedition, not a single tael of silver was found, despite the notice promising five taels. Instead, they obtained two roosters, three baskets of eggs, four baskets of oranges, and the two faceless stone figures at the village entrance.

"Hahahaha." Anzhi suddenly laughed as he looked at the two stone figures and asked, "Ran Kui, which one of these is me? It doesn't even have a nose, eyes, or ears, hahahaha."

Kui Ran was extremely frustrated. Shen Anzhi had not only been flattered to death by the villagers, but they had even called her by the wrong name. So she said in frustration, "Miss, my name is Kui Ran, Kui Ran, not Ran Kui. If it weren't for you today, I wouldn't have ended up with not a single penny."

Shen Anzhi was in a great mood at this moment. It was the first time in his life that he had been recognized. He didn't care whether the stone statue looked like him or not, as long as he felt that it did: "How about this, you can have all of these eggs and oranges, mine."

"You said it yourself." Kui Ran didn't mince words and immediately turned and headed towards the ferry.

In less than half an hour, the buyers at the ferry arrived and bought them all, selling them for ten coins.

Standing at the crossroads of the ferry crossing, walk straight to Jingdezhen, or turn right to enter the Wind City.

"Shen Anzhi, right? Let's part ways here. Don't let me run into you again." Kui Ran said, then packed her luggage.

Anzhi rolled her eyes: "I don't want to see you yet."

After saying that, the two went their separate ways...

Although he felt a sense of accomplishment, Shen Anzhi wanted to cry because the spirit snake still hadn't been found.

Just as she was at a loss, Anzhi finally found the spirit snake in the woods in front of the ferry.

"Snake Baby, Snake Baby, where did you go? I was so worried!" Anzhi held the spirit snake in his hands and kissed it again and again.

The serpent fiddled with the two antennae on its head and said, "Haha, I have good news for you."

"What good news?" Anzhi asked eagerly.

The Serpent: "I discovered that the monster who stole the River Demon Seal is in Jingdezhen; it's the Porcelain Demon."

"Oh, I see." Anzhi suddenly had a new idea: "Let's go to town and take a look."

The spirit snake said, "Okay, master. Next time you see a monster, don't be soft-hearted. Didn't Grandmaster Meng Hong teach you in a dream? You must be ruthless when facing monsters, not merciful. They are monsters."

……

Anzhi and Lingshe happily headed towards Jingdezhen.

After they left, Kui Ran emerged from behind a large tree, and he followed closely behind...
