Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

This sudden opportunity to choose made her take it very seriously...

"Chen Duo, the cult leader wants to see you."

Just as Chen Duo was carefully considering her words, Qiu Rang arrived at her residence and spoke to her.

"Oh... okay." Chen Duo snapped out of her reverie upon hearing this and nodded.

Before long, Qiu Rang led them to the site where the new cultivation furnace was being built.

Seeing Chen Duo approach, a slightly tired Ma Xianhong slowly stood up.

“Chen Duo, you’ve been with me the shortest time...and have the cleanest background. I want to ask you for a favor…” Ma Xianhong said to Chen Duo.

“Okay.” Chen Duo didn’t hesitate. It seemed that in her mind, this was a task assigned to her by Ma Xianhong, not a request.

"The task is simple... You just need to bring back one person. I'll send someone with you. By the way, do you have any other needs?"

Ma Xianhong scratched his hair, which he hadn't washed for several days, and asked Chen Duo.

"..."

When Ma Xianhong asked Chen Duo, she was silent for a moment, then hesitated for two seconds before finally making her request, as if she had mustered up her courage.

"I...I want money, nine hundred and ninety-eight will do."

"?"

Hearing Chen Duo ask for money, Ma Xianhong raised an eyebrow.

He clearly hadn't expected Chen Duo to make this request.

Don't say...

There are also whole and odd amounts...

"I understand." Ma Xianhong nodded to indicate that he understood.

...

As night deepened, Chen Duo set off overnight, while Zhou Fengliu, having briefly studied the Tongtian Talisman, prepared to go to sleep.

As the lights dimmed, a figure slowly peeked out from outside the woods.

If any villagers from Biyou Village were to pass by and see him at this moment, they would surely call out "Master Guizhen" with great enthusiasm.

Yes.

This person was Zhao Guizhen, who had spoken with Zhou Fengliu during the day.

In fact, this was not the first time Zhao Guizhen had camped out at Zhou Fengliu's doorstep.

He also staked out the place last night, but hesitated and didn't make a move. Today, he sneaked into Zhou Fengliu's room and searched around, but he couldn't find what he was looking for.

As for his elaborate scheme to sneak into Zhou Fengliu's room, the reason was quite simple:

He coveted the Tongtian Talisman in Zhou Fengliu's possession.

Ever since he heard during dinner last night that the Tongtian Talisman was in Zhou Fengliu's hands, he's been itching to get his hands on it.

As a former disciple of the Shangqing School of Maoshan, he was well aware of the value of a talisman.

You have to understand that he spent three years tilling the land at the Shangqing Sect on Maoshan Mountain before being granted a talisman. Now that he suddenly learned that the Tongtian Talisman, which allows one to scatter talismans like beans, was right in front of him as if it were within his grasp, he simply couldn't control his greed.

He's determined to steal this Heavenly Record! Even Jesus couldn't stop him.

"Since you're not going to ask me for advice... then don't blame me for resorting to underhanded tactics and ambushing you."

After scouting the area during the day, Zhao Guizhen had already determined that the Tongtian Scroll was on Zhou Fengliu's person.

The saying goes, "Take a gamble and you might win big." Once he gets his hands on the Tongtian Scroll... within a year, the name Zhao Guizhen will resound throughout the world of supernatural beings.

...

P.S.: I'm begging for everything, please! This humble author is kneeling online, begging all my godfathers!

Good night and sweet dreams.

Chapter 134 Zhou Fengliu: I Enjoy Killing in My Dreams! (First Update)

Zhao Guizhen did not rush to take action.

As the saying goes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and this Heavenly Scroll is reserved for intelligent people like him who possess the talents of a "Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix".

He was waiting, waiting for Zhou Fengliu to fall asleep so he could quietly get to work.

As night deepened and all around was quiet, Zhao Guizhen, who had been squatting for two or three hours, knew it was time for him to make his move.

He nimbly emerged from the woods, tumbling with his left foot on his right to the window where Zhou Fengliu lived.

He held his breath and quietly peeked out the window. By the moonlight, he could see Zhou Fengliu lying on his side in bed.

Ok.

It's time to act.

After seeing that Zhou Fengliu was really asleep, Zhao Guizhen carefully unlocked the window of the house using some means, and then blew a sleeping potion into the room, intending to make Zhou Fengliu unconscious.

His plan went smoothly. After blowing the sleeping powder into the room, he waited a while and felt that the time was right before taking out a pill and putting it in his mouth.

This pill can help him avoid the effects of the hypnotic smoke; it works very well.

Having scouted the area during the day, he easily found his way into Zhou Fengliu's room and began searching for the Tongtian Talisman.

Zhao Guizhen was searching very diligently, but he didn't notice that Zhou Fengliu's eyes were slightly open in the moonlight.

Finally... I caught a dog.

Zhou Fengliu was waiting for his prey to come to him. When he returned home that night, he felt as if someone had been in the house, so he didn't fall asleep. He was waiting to see if any dogs would come over.

did not expect...

He actually caught the dog.

Zhao Guizhen...

The moment Zhou Fengliu saw Zhao Guizhen, he could guess with his toes that Zhao Guizhen had come to steal the Tongtian Scroll.

As for the smoke that Zhao Guizhen blew in, it didn't bother him at all; under the blessing of the Reversed Heavenly Gang, it all became nourishment for his body refinement.

...

He had originally planned to leave Zhao Guizhen to that kind and compassionate temporary worker in East China, but unexpectedly, Zhao Guizhen himself delivered himself to his door.

After searching for a while, Zhao Guizhen found that the Tongtian Talisman was still not in the house. He had no choice but to search for the Tongtian Talisman by touching Zhou Fengliu.

He glanced at the bedside under the moonlight, only to find that Zhou Fengliu, who should have been lying on the bed, was nowhere to be seen.

? !

What about people?

Zhao Guizhen immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Master Zhao, what are you looking for? Let me help you look for it."

Zhou Fengliu's voice suddenly rang out behind him, startling him so much that he stumbled forward two steps, creating some distance between them.

The incandescent light bulb suddenly lit up, and Zhou Fengliu's calm eyes looked at Zhao Guizhen not far away, meeting his gaze.

"Benefactor...benefactor, you're still awake?"

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu was unaffected by his hypnotic smoke, Zhao Guizhen swallowed hard and quickly tried to smooth things over:

“I just saw a strange figure sneak into your room, so I came to check... but after searching, I found that the person had left sometime ago, which has disturbed you.”

Zhao Guizhen's lame excuse elicited an "Oh" from Zhou Fengliu.

"According to Master Zhao, I should thank Master Zhao for kindly helping me drive away the outsiders."

"This is all I should do," Zhao Guizhen said with an awkward laugh.

"Master Zhao... Luckily I didn't sleep at all tonight, otherwise you would be finished. I prefer to kill in my dreams, and it would be bad if I accidentally hurt you without knowing why."

Zhou Fengliu smiled and said to Zhao Guizhen, as if to say, "You were just acting."

Murder in a dream?

Didn't sleep at all?

Upon hearing these keywords, Zhao Guizhen raised an eyebrow, knowing that his every move had been observed by Zhou Fengliu.

“You are right to remind me. Since you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave.”

Zhao Guizhen felt that this place was not a good place to stay, so he prepared to run away.

He was as ambitious as he was before he came, and now he desperately wanted to escape.

"Master, please don't leave yet. Since you're here... please sit down and rest for a while. I happen to have something I'd like to ask you about."

"what?"

When Zhao Guizhen heard Zhou Fengliu say he wanted to find out what was going on, he had a bad feeling about it for some reason.

"I was curious before why Master Zhao, a disciple of the Shangqing School of Maoshan, would be in Biyou Village, so I asked my colleague to check. What I found out was quite shocking."
