I logged into Mr. Zombie

"Your Majesty, I have found a magical artifact to subdue the demon for you."

"Wang Pubin, you are truly loyal."

It was still the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Wang Pupin once again requested an audience and presented the demon-slaying treasures he had obtained from various sorcerers.

She Ji was the only one favored in the harem, but she was slow to do anything for him. Wang Pupin was worried that he would not escape death if the truth came out, so he became more and more concerned about solving She Ji's problem.

Tan Wenjie looked at the golden bowl that had been placed on the table.

Exquisitely crafted with intricate carvings, it's clear at a glance that this is a freshly made "treasure."

Made of pure gold, it wasn't cheap, which shows that Wang Pupin spared no expense.

"As long as I can help Your Majesty eliminate the female demon and save you from persecution, I would be willing to die for you."

"Oh, since you put it that way..."

Wang Pubin's heart skipped a beat. He was just being polite; he didn't really want to die.

If all else fails, he can retire and return to his hometown.

"Alright, you may leave now. I will be careful."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

Wang Pupin left with a heavy heart, and continued to ponder on his way back. He hadn't expected that She Ji's bewitching skills were so powerful that they could make the emperor stop choosing concubines.

If this continues, wouldn't the entire Great Qian Dynasty become a one-woman show by She Ji?

He suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Yeah, right!" Wang Pubin exclaimed in frustration as he slammed his right fist into his left palm. "I'm such a blockhead! I went to ask those people for help!"

He and Wang Taichang were political enemies in normal times, but they might cooperate on this matter.

We absolutely cannot allow the snake demon to control the harem, and thus indirectly control the court!
……

After dealing with Wang Pupin, Tan Wenjie prepared to go back to rest. The other party was worried that he would be bewitched by beauty, but in fact he did not often live with She Ji.

Nothing is more important than the development of this country.

The establishment of a secret service agency is on the agenda. Meanwhile, Qiao Sheng has found some friends with excellent character and talent to search for wrongful convictions and steadily help Tan Wenjie improve his rating.

It was precisely when he and the entire country entered a period of rapid development that everything else had to be postponed.

"Your Majesty, come quickly!"

She Ji grabbed a luminous pearl and ran over like she was presenting a treasure. The eunuchs and palace maids behind her were anxious to stop her, but they were worried that this would anger She Ji.

If she were to whisper in their ear, we would be in serious trouble, if not dead.

If they really can't be stopped, their sins will be grave.

Fortunately, at this moment the emperor raised his hand and waved to indicate that they did not need to follow and could go down and wait.

Only the two of them remained alone.

Tan Wenjie asked, "Consort Hua, why are you here with me instead of cultivating in your own palace?"

"Your Majesty, look at this treasure! I finally managed to snatch it!"

She Ji presented the luminous pearl to Tan Wenjie, almost touching his nose to it.

"A luminous pearl?" Tan Wenjie casually picked up the pearl, glanced at it, and then exclaimed "Eh?"

The beads are extraordinary; they seem to be treasures from heaven.

"This is a fox spirit's luminous pearl. With it, cultivation will be twice as effective." She Ji leaned weakly against Tan Wenjie's chest. "I risked injury and even threatened her daughter to finally snatch this pearl back."

Tan Wenjie frowned: "Have they silenced them?"

She Ji: "Huh?"

Wait a minute, which of us is the monster?

All I wanted was the bead, and you actually wanted to kill me to silence me.

"Sigh." Tan Wenjie sighed, "Since we've already offended them, we should wipe them out completely. Otherwise, what if they attack us one day? You can't live in constant fear."

"That bitch Yu Ji must have gone somewhere to heal her wounds long ago." She Ji gritted her teeth and wrinkled her nose. "It's too difficult to catch her."

She beat her chest in frustration, secretly regretting that she had missed such a good opportunity.

Tan Wenjie admonished, "Remember this next time; it's best not to..."

"We cannot leave any survivors," She Ji answered quickly.

“You can’t just steal other people’s things. You can buy them or trade them.” Tan Wenjie shook his head. “I am the emperor. How could I teach you such cruel methods? The first time you killed the other family was an accident. The second time was premeditated.”

She Ji thought to herself that killing an entire family didn't seem like an accident at all.

She nodded to indicate that she understood, and then continued, "With this, we can cultivate diligently and become immortals as soon as possible."

Tan Wenjie shook his head. It's difficult.

Knowing that She Ji had taken the pearl, the other party would definitely come looking for it again. Moreover, this pearl was from heaven, and holding it in his hands would be a hot potato, which was inconsistent with his plan to be emperor peacefully.

He looked down at his clothes that had been undone: "Does cultivating immortality require taking off clothes?"

"another day."

She really is a demon; an ordinary person would have had sunken cheeks and pale lips long ago.

"It won't happen again."

"Your Majesty, Grand Master Wang has important matters to discuss with you." The voice outside the door interrupted She Ji's actions.

Tan Wenjie pushed aside the figure straddling the motorcycle and straightened his clothes.

"I have other matters to attend to, my beloved consort, please rest."

Looking at the empty bed, She Ji pouted unhappily, then picked up the luminous pearl.

With nothing else to do, I'll practice today.

……

Tan Wenjie met Wang Taichang, who was accompanied by Wang Pupin and a young couple.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject pays his respects." As Wang Taichang bowed, the young couple hurriedly followed suit.

Noticing Tan Wenjie's gaze, Wang Taichang introduced, "This is my son Yuanfeng. He used to be simple-minded and dull-witted, but now he has finally come to his senses. The other is Xiaocui, Yuanfeng's wife."

Tan Wenjie looked at Xiao Cui: "A fox spirit?"

The expressions on their faces changed drastically.

Wang Pupin, in particular, hated Wang Taichang to the core and wanted to ask him for help in persuading Tan Wenjie, but he never expected that the other party's daughter-in-law was a fox spirit.

First a snake demon, then a fox demon—my life is pretty much over.

Xiao Cui bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Cui is indeed a fox."

“Xiao Cui is a good fox,” Wang Yuanfeng said hurriedly.

"Mu Wanqing" was still in the backyard when she unexpectedly saw "Duan Yu" in front of her. Tan Wenjie glanced at Wang Yuanfeng and said, "I know what you've come here for. Go back."

As long as he doesn't leave the palace, Tan Wenjie will never be harmed by evil spirits in the slightest. He is unlikely to encounter danger if he doesn't leave the capital, and he just happened to have no intention of going out.

Forget about going incognito; it would be much better to just stay in the capital for a decade or so and steadily rack up ratings.

"Boom."

Thunder rumbled in the sky.

“It’s the Thunder God from the sky.” Xiao Cui looked up at the thundercloud and said, “My mother said that the luminous pearl is a treasure brought down from the sky. If it is not used correctly, it will attract the Thunder God to investigate.”

The fact that Lei Gong could come to the palace indicates that the luminous pearl is in the palace and is currently being used by She Ji for cultivation.

Fox spirits and demons fear thunder the most, and even humans feel uneasy when thunder is heard.

Everyone present believed it was the power of the gods, and they knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

Thunder swirled in the sky, and a fierce wind blew, but Tan Wenjie stood with his hands behind his back, letting the wind whip his sleeves around him.

Tan Wenjie looked up at Lei Yun and said, "Thunder God in the clouds, come down and let's have a chat."

A streak of red light fell from the lightning, transforming into the Thunder God, who held a thunder hammer and wore armor with an eagle's beak, upon reaching the ground.

The others, seeing that a thunder god was actually falling from the clouds, were both afraid and curious.

The only person standing calmly at the scene was Tan Wenjie.

He was naturally calm and composed. If the assessment was affected by external factors and he failed, he would immediately overturn the table and cause a scene.

At that time, the Heavenly Court of this world will be the one with a headache.

Lei Gong bowed and clasped his hands in greeting: "Your Majesty, I have come here to search for a luminous pearl. It was stolen from the heavenly palace by a maidservant decades ago and brought down to the mortal realm. Tonight, I discovered that the pearl is in the palace and have come to find it."

"Someone, go and invite Consort Hua here, and tell her not to forget that pearl."

"Yes, yes, this servant will go right away."

"Prepare a banquet; I wish to invite the God of Thunder."

"Yes."

The banquet in the palace was extremely lavish.

Soon after, She Ji arrived. Upon seeing Lei Gong, she couldn't even muster the thought of running away and obediently returned the luminous pearl.

"Now that the bead has been retrieved, it is time for me to take my leave."

Lei Gong stood up, glanced at She Ji, and then exhaled a gust of wind. The wind swept over She Ji's body, and she trembled, her demonic aura diminishing as a result.

The crimson light returned to the clouds and vanished in an instant.

Tan Wenjie put down his cup.

“Build ten temples for this bird-faced thunder god, and offer incense and sacrifices every day,” Tan Wenjie said. “Wang Taichang, this matter is perfect for you to handle.”

"Wei Chen accepts the order."

The matter ended there, but more and more legends about the emperor continued to circulate.

Some people said he was hosting a banquet for the Thunder God, while others said he was bewitched by a female demon. But people just took it as a joke. Now that the Great Qian Dynasty is getting better and better, could it be that some female demon is clinging to the emperor just to help him consolidate his power?

……

on the bed.

Tan Wenjie advised, "My dear concubine, don't think about matters between men and women every day. You should focus on your cultivation."

She Ji: "?"

Something doesn't sound right. Also, please take your hands out of my clothes first.

That night, after She Ji was swept away by the gentle breeze from Lei Gong's mouth, her demonic energy was cleansed, and her cultivation progressed rapidly.

However, he dared not say that becoming an immortal was possible.

In any world's immortal realm, there are always more radishes than pits.

Even immortals need background checks and political vetting.

Xin Shisi Niang, who has always done good deeds, is still a fox spirit, so her chances of becoming an immortal are even greater.

In contrast, She Ji is a snake, so unless she can become a second Bai Suzhen, it will be difficult. However, Bai Suzhen also has a close relationship with Guanyin Bodhisattva.

To become an immortal, one either needs to be so outstanding that no one can find fault with them, or one needs to have a master or a connection.

"That luminous pearl is actually a celestial treasure from heaven," She Ji wondered. "Why is it in Yu Ji's possession?"

"She was once a celestial fairy, but she found being a fairy too boring, so she stole a luminous pearl and descended to the mortal world. However, her husband was unreliable, so she raised her daughter alone to cultivate."

She Ji: "..."

It turns out that the immortality I desperately wanted to become was the identity that others never wanted in the first place.

Starting tomorrow, I'm definitely going to focus on cultivating immortality!

……

Time flies by like a white horse.

Tan Wenjie first focused on solving the problem of food and clothing, such as farmland improvement, tax reduction and exemption, and irrigation canal construction.

Initial results have been seen.

However, the ratings and earnings that year were not high.

[Rating: 150000]

Most of the ratings were related to the intelligence agency he built, which investigated wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice, earning him dozens or hundreds of ratings each time and making him quite famous among the people.

In addition, the development of steam engines, steel smelting, overseas trade routes, and the formation of the navy were all put on the agenda.

These investments will eventually translate into a continuous stream of ratings.

The Xin family mansion in the capital.

Tan Wenjie traveled in simple clothes, with Xin Shisi Niang walking beside him, chatting as they went.

A troop of soldiers was guarding the area in the distance.

“…I know Xiao Cui,” Xin Shisi Niang said. “She found human love between men and women boring, so she transformed into another woman long ago and made Wang Yuanfeng marry someone else. As for her, she went back to the mountains to cultivate.”

"That's fine too." Tan Wenjie nodded.

Although there are many stories about fox spirits and scholars, few of them end well. It's already a good result that Wang Yuanfeng is no longer mentally impaired.

Xin Shisi Niang rolled her eyes playfully: "I heard that Wang Yuanfeng's second wife was bestowed by the current emperor, and that he was even made the top martial arts champion."

“There is no first place in literature, but there is a second place in martial arts. Wang Yuanfeng was born with superhuman strength, so it is reasonable for him to be the champion of martial arts,” Tan Wenjie said.

"Then why are you pretending it's the first time you've heard of this?"

"I just don't know how Xiao Cui is doing. You are all foxes, so I guess you must know something about each other."

"Do you also think that Xiao Cui should stay and stay with Wang Yuanfeng forever?"

Xin Shisi Niang thought of her sisters, who were content with their lot and whose minds were filled with thoughts of men and women.

"If you can become an immortal, why not go?" Tan Wenjie retorted.

"I have a feeling that I will become an immortal in a few days."

This departure will separate us from the mortal realm.

"Then I must congratulate you, Fourteenth Sister, no, from now on I should call you Fairy Xin."

Seeing his magnanimity, Xin Shisi Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

We each have our own goals and aspirations, which makes us feel relaxed when we're together, like fellow travelers on the same path, only with different ultimate goals.

"Pfft, Your Majesty is too kind."

As dusk fell, Xin Shisi Niang watched Tan Wenjie leave by car before returning home.

She needed to prepare for her premonition; the day she would become an immortal was just around the corner.

"Are you really willing to let him go?"

Twelve Sisters had somehow gotten close to us.

“Yes.” Thirteen Sister also leaned over, “He came all the way to see you, but when people tried to talk to him, he ignored them and said, said… Waaah.”

Looking at the fake crying Thirteen Sister, Xin Fourteen Sister remained silent.

Twelfth Sister chimed in, "What else did he say?"

"He said he came to see Fourteenth Sister today and told us common women to get lost." Thirteenth Sister wiped her dry eyes while secretly glancing at Fourteenth Sister.

“He wouldn’t say such a thing,” Xin Shisi Niang said calmly.

Twelve Sister touched her collarbone and said, "She said that after you become an immortal, she will bring me to the palace to be a concubine and enjoy wealth and honor."

“He can do it.” Xin Shisi Niang readily agreed this time.

"..."X2
This is boring, I'm not playing anymore.

Finally, no one was disturbing her. Xin Shisi Niang sat cross-legged with her palms facing upwards, quietly awaiting her destiny.

……

Another morning court session.

Tan Wenjie already had stubble on his face, and some wrinkles could be seen at the corners of his eyes.

Several years have passed since Xin Shisi Niang ascended to heaven as an immortal. During this time, the Great Qian Dynasty has fully entered a period of rapid development, advancing triumphantly on the back of the steam engine.

He has already dispatched dozens of merchant ships, and although the world map here is different from that on Earth, they have still discovered new continents after crossing the ocean.

With the industrial level of the Great Qian Dynasty, it could easily exchange large amounts of gold and silver with finely processed goods.

Among them, silk porcelain is the best-selling item.

The rapid development of firearms and artillery has provided a safeguard for security.

After its military strength reached a certain level, Tan Wenjie decisively launched an offensive against the surrounding countries.

In the past, nomadic tribes would harass the border every year, but no one expected that the Central Plains region, which had always looked down on the barren land, would actually spend money to launch an offensive.

"Your Majesty, General Wang has achieved a great victory in the Northwest, annihilating the rebel army. The Tartars are willing to submit, provided they receive one million taels of silver annually..."

"Bang!" The sound of slamming the table interrupted the report from below.

"What, does a defeated nation still want me to pay it?" Tan Wenjie's tone was calm, yet it gave people a sense of dread as they were about to face a violent storm.

All the civil and military officials lowered their heads and dared not utter a word.

This government was won by Tan Wenjie with guns back then. It was his one-man show. Although many years have passed and Tan Wenjie has gradually become more willing to relinquish power, it doesn't mean they can really influence it.

Instead, their only task is to devise strategies and strive to achieve the desired results once Tan Wenjie sets out the objectives.

"Those who want to live, live; those who don't, kill them all."

The ministers said: "The emperor is still too radical."

Everyone held their breath in suspense.

However, it was impossible to get them to refuse, as the most direct beneficiaries of the war were these high-ranking officials.

Making big money honestly and openly, without having to sneak around or break the law, is something everyone likes.

With Tan Wenjie around, the Great Qian Dynasty can continue to prosper. Moreover, Tan Wenjie is only thirty years old and physically strong. There is absolutely no problem for the country to remain strong for several more decades.

However, some people are worried because no prince has been born so far.

Their most important task now is to select concubines for the emperor.

For the sake of the country and its people, they had no choice but to send women they knew well into the palace. So they sent their daughters, nieces, and even granddaughters into the palace for the greater good.

……

Does this country need a new emperor?
Tan Wenjie knew very well that after he left, the flow of time in this world would almost stop relative to him, and even if he had a child, it would be difficult for the child to grow up.

Of course, time is relative. If he focuses on his own feelings, he will find that time stands still. But if he focuses on other people's feelings, he will have a different feeling.

If time could be restored to normal, having a child would be possible, but definitely not with a monster. After all, if the child is human, that would be fine, but if it's a monster, the outcome might not be so good.

In order to stabilize the court officials, it was necessary to fill the harem.

He was a man of few desires and had never been a womanizer. Forcing him to have more concubines would have been a real ordeal for him.

After pressing a smile to his lips, he picked up a scroll of portraits from the table.

The women who could be sent were naturally beautiful, had good family affairs, and were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Tan Wenjie looked at it for a while and felt a headache coming on.

Officials' offspring are bound to be good-looking. Appearance plays a very important role in aspiring to a position in the imperial court; otherwise, there wouldn't be the legend of Zhong Kui dying by crashing into a pillar because of his ugly appearance.

Being appointed to an official position depends on one's appearance.

"this is?"

Tan Wenjie paused, his gaze lingering.

Isn't this Mazu, the White Snake, or Teacher Bai?

Although the painting is somewhat similar in form, it is difficult to capture its original appearance using only ink and brush.

Therefore, it cannot be determined whether it is the actual person or just someone who looks similar.

"Your Majesty, this is Prefect Lin's only daughter, Lin Yuefu."

"Something interesting."

Since he's a familiar face, there's bound to be some interesting ghost or fox story involving him.

"Investigate. Let the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigate."

……

late at night.

Tan Wenjie lay in bed and fell asleep. In his hazy state, he noticed a cluster of will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness.

He was fully aware that his soul had left his body when he sat up.

"Who is coming?"

"Hahaha."

Laughter came from the darkness, and then a burly figure shrouded in black mist and wearing a dark dragon robe strode in.

When he reached Tan Wenjie, he clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Emperor Tianyuan. I am Yama, the King of Hell. Please forgive my uninvited visit."

Tan Wenjie is the emperor of the human world, but Yama is not the emperor of the underworld. Not to mention the Ten Kings of Hell who take turns on duty, there are also the Five Ghost Emperors above them, and above them are the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the Great Emperor of Fengdu.

“Mei San Niang has already been reincarnated, and she is already three years old,” said Yama, the King of Hell.

Hearing him say that, Tan Wenjie couldn't very well punish the other party for coming uninvited.

"Back then, we had to thank King Yama for his help. Mei San Niang was quite pitiful, and I felt compassion for her," Tan Wenjie said.

"You are a kind and benevolent emperor."

Tan Wenjie just smiled when he heard Tan flattering him.

The other party must have come today with a request.

"King Yama, please speak freely."

King Yama was impressed by Tan Wenjie's composure. He had seen many ordinary emperors who were terrified when they saw ghosts and gods, but few were as calm and collected as Tan Wenjie.

If he wasn't certain that the other party truly had no magical power, and if he couldn't discern anything from the Book of Life and Death, he would have seriously wondered if the other party was some kind of deity descended to earth.

“In the next few years, a judge should come to the underworld.” King Yama glanced at Tan Wenjie. “However, that judge probably won’t come. So I’d like to borrow someone from the Emperor to serve in the underworld.”

He wanted to say that the job of judge originally belonged to Tan Wenjie, but he also knew that since the other party had become emperor, he would most likely not pay attention to a ghost like himself.

Not to mention oneself, even the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak must treat the emperor with the same courtesy.

When the judge reports for duty, no one shows up, which is a headache even for Yama, the King of Hell.

"Who to borrow?"

"Lu Benshan".

Tan Wenjie was surprised: "Master Lu? I remember he has been cultivating for quite some time."

King Yama said, "Your time has come."

"After he dies, you will be in charge of what happens to him in the underworld. Why bother asking me to borrow him?"

"If the Emperor won't release them, how can I possibly take them away?" King Yama said helplessly, "Just like the fox in the Xin family."

The fox from the Xin family had helped Tan Wenjie and had already earned its own temple, where it received offerings.

After death, they can become minor local deities, and therefore, those fox spirits no longer go out to seduce scholars.

The path to immortality has no end in sight, but the conferment of godhood is already a foregone conclusion, so doing good deeds will be even more willing.

"I do indeed intend to appoint him as a high priest," Tan Wenjie readily agreed.

Lu Daoren has been of great help to me. It would be best if he could become an immortal. If he can't become an immortal, then I'll give him a divine position.

“However…” Tan Wenjie said, “If King Yama wants to grant Daoist Lu the position of judge, I am willing to grant him that favor.”

The gods and judges that one appoints oneself are ultimately no match for them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I know the rules and will not ask about his lifespan, but could you tell me if Daoist Lu will have a peaceful end?"

"Difficult to die a peaceful death."

"Thank you."

As the ghostly mist dissipated, clusters of eerie green will-o'-the-wisps went out.

Tan Wenjie opened his eyes, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

But he knew very well that ordinary people rarely remember the whole dream, and would forget it completely after a short period of lucidity. But it was different when a ghost or spirit appeared in a dream; he would remember it clearly.

It was just getting light outside.

"I don't have many friends in this world, but Lu Daoren should be considered one of them."

They sent Xin Shisi Niang to become an immortal, and now they want to send Lu Daoren to the underworld to be a judge.

You should go and see them off.

When Tan Wenjie saw Lu Daoren, the man was indeed lying on the bed, seriously injured and barely breathing, clearly not long for this world.

If the King of Hell decrees your death at midnight, who dares to keep you alive until dawn? This time, Tan Wenjie truly witnessed it.

When he met Tan Wenjie, Lu Daoren did not hide anything and told him about his recent experiences.

"I recently encountered a woman whose soul was being controlled by magic," said Lu Daoren. "The man was a wealthy young man from the area, and his wet nurse was extremely skilled in magic, even more so than I am. The young man wanted to forcibly take the woman..."

It's another story of a spoiled brat trying to dominate a woman.

A rich young man who had taken a liking to a beautiful girl tried to force himself on her, but when that failed, he used magic to control her and make her throw herself into his arms. Coincidentally, the girl's love interest sought help from Taoist Lu.

Thus, Lu Daoren and his opponent engaged in a magical duel from afar.

Tan Wenjie: "..."

Being an emperor is busy enough, can you please stop fighting over romance all the time?

Now that everything in Daqian is thriving, it would be so much better to use that time and energy to devote to national development.

Lu Daoren asked, "Has His Majesty come here to see me off?"

Tan Wenjie nodded: "We met when we were both nobody, so it's only right that I come to see you off."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Please help that ill-fated couple."

As a person is dying, a series of images flash before their eyes.

Lu Daoren sighed, "Back then, I even wanted to take the Emperor as my disciple and embark on the path of immortality together."

"I should be taking you on as my apprentice, but I never expected..."

It is simply contrary to Tiangang.

He didn't argue with the person who was about to die.

Lu Daoren had closed his eyes and was no longer moving.

"You may set off on your journey in peace."

Seeing that Lu Daoren had closed his eyes, Tan Wenjie stood up.

He has seen many people off on their journey, and even though he knows that they have a bright future ahead of them, he still feels a pang of sadness.

The eunuchs who came with him didn't know that there were so many people; they only noticed that the emperor's stubble was even more unruly and that a few white hairs had grown on his head.

Upon returning to the palace, Tan Wenjie immediately issued an order.

"Go and investigate Sun Zichu and Zhao Baoyu."

The investigation proceeded quickly, bringing not only news of Sun Zichu and Zhao Baoyu, but also news of Lin Yuefu.

First, let's talk about Lin Yuefu, who was found to be suffering from an incurable disease.

This alone was enough to convict Magistrate Lin of deceiving the emperor. Further investigation revealed that Magistrate Lin had heard of a strange prescription from somewhere, using the blood of living people as a medicinal ingredient.

To date, they have murdered several people.

Despite Magistrate Lin's skill in concealment, he was no match for the secret service agency built by Tan Wenjie.

"Have someone thoroughly investigate this case and ensure that the Lin family is brought to justice."

The selection of concubines turned into a case investigation, which was an unexpected bonus.

Then came the case that Master Lu was concerned about.

This case is quite interesting. Sun Zichu was born with six fingers. He met Zhao Baoyu by chance and was so attracted by her beauty that he lost one of his souls and followed her home.

Later, with the help of Taoist Lu, his soul returned to his body, but from then on, he lost his appetite and couldn't eat or drink anything.

The two had a deep connection, and Sun Zichu met Zhao Baoyu again. They chatted happily and agreed to meet again another day. Unexpectedly, Zhao Baoyu's soul was soon controlled by Granny Miao's magic.

Granny Miao was the wet nurse of the wealthy young master Chai Shaoan. He coveted Zhao Baoyu's appearance and wanted to control him with magic.

As a result, Zhao Baoyu's personality changed drastically, and he would forget the memories of that day the next day.

Sun Zichu was infatuated with Zhao Baoyu and visited her every day to get to know her. Even when she asked him to cut off his sixth finger, he did not hesitate.

Lu Daoren, who had foreseen this calamity, took the initiative to attack, but was no match for him.

"Ah Bao?"

It turned out to be this story from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, which he remembered very well.

The Imperial Guard kneeling below replied, "Your Majesty, Zhao Baoyu does indeed have another A Bao."

“Arrange a team, armed with guns, to execute Granny Miao on the spot.”

"Yes."

That night, a group of skilled martial artists who could scale walls and leap across rooftops quickly approached the Chai residence.

Upon hearing the sound, Granny Miao immediately got up to prepare to cast a spell to deal with it.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" was heard, followed by a series of loud noises.

The shooting stopped after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Although the surrounding residents heard the noise, they only dared to hide their heads under the covers and didn't even dare to prick up an ear to eavesdrop.

It wasn't until the next morning that someone mustered the courage to go to the Chai residence. They found the doors and windows riddled with bullet holes, and the Chai family members had vanished without a trace.

Some people tried to report the case, but after finding that no officials came to investigate, they understood and pretended that they hadn't seen or knew anything.

Chai Shaoan usually bullies men and women, so it would be a good thing if he really died without a burial place.

Many people are already secretly celebrating.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

May the country be prosperous and the people at peace.

The Great Qian Dynasty is already the strongest country in the world today.

The entire continent, from east to west, was within its territory. The coastal areas were equipped with military ports and wharves, and its industrial power, far exceeding that of the era, overwhelmed the entire time.

When the country prospers and the people live in peace and contentment, demons and monsters have no chance to show themselves, and their numbers are even decreasing rapidly as their resentment diminishes.

[Rating: 5010 million]

"Finally, we've got them all."

With Tan Wenjie choosing to redeem his item, the Demon Exam finally came to an end.

The title of Judge disappeared without a trace, and a brand new title appeared in its place.

【Fengdu Emperor (1/100): Ghost Slayer (naturally effective against ghosts, all negative effects +500%), Ghost Control (easier to control ghosts), Ghost Arts Mastery (ghost spell effects +500%), Reincarnation (consumes lifespan to provide a fixed enhancement to effects; currently 1 year of lifespan: x1.5 buff, including attack, defense, healing, blessings, etc.), Emperor of Ghosts (all ghosts under his command gain a temporary buff of 5% of his own health/mana), obtain the skin "Fengdu Emperor"】

【Fengdu Emperor - Skin (Red): All friendly units within a fixed range gain the "Ghost" attribute and enjoy all attribute buffs】

【Dragon Ball for Dragon Dance (Exclusive Magic Item): The dragon ball used in dragon dances can summon a "Haystack Dragon". You need to fill the dragon dance team yourself.】

【Straw Dragon: A dragon made of straw, inexpensive to produce, that can unite the team's power and add 1 slot for every 10 mana】

Unexpectedly, the exclusive magical artifact he obtained was even related to his title when he was emperor.

When Tan Wenjie opened his eyes again, he had returned to the world of the Lotus Lantern.

"There are still things I haven't explained."

He was thinking of going back another day. He couldn't be the emperor of the mortal world anymore, but he could choose a capable person to succeed him.

Tan Wenjie wore the skin of the Emperor of Fengdu, a crown on his head, looking solemn and majestic, his gaze fixed on the depths of the underworld.

The moment he changed his title, the entire Three Realms trembled.

Heavenly Court, Jade Pool.

The Jade Emperor was in a great mood because the monkey was being suppressed.

He was chatting with the Queen Mother of the West and his most beloved daughter, the Seventh Princess.

The sudden, abnormal light made him feel uneasy.

"This... Heaven has recognized a Fengdu Emperor who rules over the Netherworld."

The Queen Mother of the West asked in surprise, "What?"
