【 Able-bodied men: 213, elderly, women, and children: over 510. 】

【 Copper coins: approximately several hundred... 】

" In total, there are over 3,800 copper coins remaining. "

" This is the entire harvest... "

The teleportation formation behind him closed with a somber hum, and a final angry roar was heard!

The return teleportation formation was not at a random location; it led directly to the city gate of Qinghe Town!

A large group of people appeared suddenly, which clearly made the able-bodied men at the gate alert.

However, the Old Village Chief was seen standing on the city wall, with the gate locked tight.

He looked at the crowd... and only after seeing the Rakshasa Guard did he relax significantly!

Shen Yi slowly appeared, and only then did the Old Village Chief open the gate...

He came up to greet him, saying with some surprise.

" My Lord... was this trip fruitful? "

Shen Yi was full of worries, but he pushed them to the back of his mind, nodded, and said with a smile.

" I will have to trouble you, Old Sir, to arrange housing for them later. "

" Easily done, easily done... "

The Old Village Chief then gave instructions... but the coming and going residents of Qinghe Town kept their eyes fixed on the Green Scaled Python Spirit.

Shen Yi then said.

" This Stone Spirit is not a Yao Beast... In the future, it will be one of us! "

" Everyone, do not panic; it will not harm anyone! "

The Green Scaled Python Spirit seemed a bit shy; it greeted them and then burrowed into the ground, disappearing from sight.

Shen Yi didn't pay it any mind.

Instead, he went to the drill ground with the Old Village Chief and others.

The Rakshasa Guard prepared to rest... this series of battles had been quite exhausting.

Shen Yi sat down and asked in confusion.

" How many days was I gone? "

" Three days? "

" Such a long time? "

The Old Village Chief nodded...

Shen Yi said in a deep voice.

" Nothing bad happened during this time, right? "

" Not at all... Everything is normal, and no traces of demons have been found! "

Only then did Shen Yi nod in relief.

He secretly thought he had been overthinking.

On second thought, he blamed himself for worrying too much... after all, there was a great expert in Qinghe Town!

He gave instructions for everything to be sorted out.

The Yao Beast flesh was placed on the carriages.

Shen Yi planned to settle scores with that dog, Steward Zhao.

Afterward, he returned to the mansion.

The general construction of the mansion had been completed... with small bridges and flowing water, it was full of vitality.

At this moment, Pei Lingshu was sitting in the pavilion, boredly fiddling with the fish food in her hand.

She glanced down casually, and saw goldfish with bulging bellies surfacing.

Seeing Shen Yi return, Pei Lingshu spoke up.

" You're back? "

" Seems like the trip went quite smoothly? "

Shen Yi nodded and took out the jade pendant tied to his waist, intending to return it.

Pei Lingshu didn't take it, but said indifferently.

" What if there's a next time? "

" Do not forget... what the slogan is! "

Shen Yi's mouth twitched, but he still tied it back to his waist.

Pei Lingshu seemed to sense something and raised her eyebrows.

She stared closely at Shen Yi.

Then she leaned in... face to face.

Looking at Shen Yi's handsome face.

It was as if she were looking at a stranger.

Shen Yi was baffled by her gaze.

Pei Lingshu looked at Shen Yi with a strange expression.

" Leftist heterodox ways. "

" You are a top scholar appointed by the imperial court, why are you messing with heterodox ways for no reason? "

" Not only did you benefit greatly from this trip? How do you have this Rank 2 Heavenly Treasure on your body... "

" This aura... it seems to be an immortal seeking vine? "

" Are you full and have nothing better to do? "

" Do you know that if the immortal seeking vine doesn't get enough Spiritual Qi, it will devour your blood energy, and even your essence blood? "

Pei Lingshu frowned... and reached out as if to press lightly.

At the same time, Shen Yi actually felt a restless and fearful sensation coming from the immortal seeking vine inside his body...

This meant that this Miss Pei was not as simple as he had imagined!

Seeing that something ominous was about to happen... Shen Yi remained calm, reached out to press Pei Lingshu's slender fingers, and said in a deep voice.

" Miss Pei... "

" Hmm? "

Shen Yi's gaze was very serious.

" Let me live this life according to my own will. "

Pei Lingshu opened her mouth... but fell silent.

She then slowly withdrew her hand and said bitterly.

" You don't appreciate kindness! "

" If you want to be a short-lived ghost, no one is stopping you... "

After saying this, Pei Lingshu withdrew her hand, her emotions unsettled.

Shen Yi smiled.

" I'm hungry... is there any food? "

Pei Lingshu glanced at Shen Yi and said nothing...

Half an incense stick later, a table of food appeared in the small pavilion.

Listening to the babbling water, Shen Yi felt as if he had returned to the life of a wealthy family.

This kind of life... was very intoxicating.

Shen Yi gobbled up the food and spoke slowly.

" This trip... involved a Geomancer. "

" This was the Xu Family's town; after the mineral resources were extracted, the town was abandoned and sold by the Xu Family... but there were hidden secrets behind the scenes. "

" A Geomancer discovered the Earth Element Stone and didn't report it... wanting to pluck the peach for himself. "

" But unexpectedly, he was intercepted by me... "

" Although that person was very quick, he was unlucky and was killed by me. "

" It shouldn't... cause any waves, right? "

Pei Lingshu took a sip of tea and said indifferently.

" It won't... This kind of industry taboo, even if he were alive, if it spread, it would ruin his reputation and lead to the Xu Family hunting him down! "

" The harvest this time... besides the basic commoners, there is a Sumeru Mustard Seed, which contains some Talismans and Stalactite Spiritual Liquid. "

" It can be considered a worthwhile trip. "

" Besides that, there is also a Rank 1 Stone Spirit... I signed a contract with that Stone Spirit, and it can re-nurture the Earth Element Stone. "

" Perhaps it won't be long before our Qinghe County can have a newly born Spiritual Vein. "

" We can also do business with Cultivators. "

In this world, the most profitable thing is still cultivation... and Spiritual Veins, along with cultivation cities, are the foundation for Cultivators to come and settle here!

Without a Spiritual Vein, it can never become a cultivation market; without Cultivators, other institutions will not settle here... It's a cycle; his Qinghe County could only be a mundane city.

Moreover, becoming a cultivation city like a cultivation market would also significantly increase his political achievements!

Pei Lingshu listened patiently... and offered suggestions at the right time.

Shen Yi was full and satisfied, let out a burp, but said with a somewhat gloomy expression.

" It's just a pity, the land deed, the land deed, the most important thing is the land... I originally planned that even if it were an empty city, it could be used as a fortress and a stronghold in the future. "

" It's just a pity. Before leaving... it was attacked by a Rank 2 Demon! "

" If we hadn't retreated in time... I'm afraid the casualties would have been heavy! "

The teacup in Pei Lingshu's hand paused, then she blew on the hot steam and said slowly.

" Let me calculate, the demon siege is about to begin. "

" Ah? "

" Am I playing a lord game or a tower defense game? "

" Why is there a demon siege? "

" Are you kidding me? "
