The land also wants to follow the Milky Way.

But he's poor. Now, the Taoist sect is declining, immortals are living in seclusion, and faith is fading. Except for popular gods like the God of Wealth, who can still receive a lot of offerings.

Who even remembers minor deities like them? They're lucky if they receive offerings once a year.

The land could only gaze longingly at the Milky Way.

Xinghe stroked his chin. "You want to come with me too?"

Land nodded repeatedly, its small eyes widening as if trying to convey a sense of pity.

Xinghe hesitated for a moment, "You're a civil servant of the underworld, it's not a good idea for you to follow me."

Although she wasn't afraid of people from the underworld, she didn't want to get herself into trouble for no reason.

The local deity quickly replied, "Fairy, you don't know this, but the salary in the underworld is meager. Ten years ago, we were encouraged to take on side jobs."

"Such a thing is true?"

"Yes, yes, especially five years ago..."

The old man got so into his conversation that he almost revealed something important, but he stopped abruptly after getting to the point.

Xinghe didn't pay any attention, looking the land up and down as if assessing its value.

The land stood tall, saying, "This old man can travel a thousand miles a day and can communicate with both the living and the dead."

"Say something useful."

The landman's back hunched slightly, and his voice softened, "I can deliver letters and things, guaranteeing delivery within two hours. I can also contact landmen in other places."

Xinghe became interested, "This is good!"

She looked at the two ghosts and the local earth god, full of ambition, "I have a very important matter to entrust to you. The peace and stability of the underworld and the human world depend on you!"

The light in their eyes gradually brightened, and they seemed unable to contain their excitement.

That night, several heads of the Qi family in Beijing dreamed of their deceased fathers/grandfathers.

The next morning, the Qian family secretly hired dozens of cooks and craft artists.

The land authorities also contacted the land authorities of the entire Dragon Kingdom and held a secret meeting.

Xinghe handed everything over to them, becoming a hands-off manager.

Oh no, she's a core technical talent, someone who needs to step in at the most critical moment.

Abroad, Ye Ning and Sheng Xiuwen, having recovered most of their health, embarked on their journey back to China with a plane full of gifts.

The old Sheng family residence.

None of the Sheng family members took the pills that Xinghe left for them, and it's unclear what their motivations were.

Everything that happened today was completely unexpected for them.

The wild ghosts, the underworld, the local deity, the fairy maidens—all sorts of strange things made them feel as if they had entered a completely unfamiliar world.

Especially their younger sister, whom they regarded as ill-mannered, vulgar, greedy, scheming, and superstitious, shattered all their stereotypes. It was as if they were getting to know Xinghe for the first time.

And Sheng Yue...

Sheng Yue cried uncontrollably in front of them.

"I really didn't mean it. I was just scared. I was afraid she would take you away. I don't know why this is happening. I grew up in the Sheng family. You are my own brothers."

"I don't know why everything changed when I woke up. I was scared, I was so scared. She's a madwoman. She dragged me to the underworld. She can see ghosts. She's terrifying. She could kill us so easily."

She huddled in Sheng Laosan's arms, genuinely terrified this time, tears streaming down her face.

Sheng Laosan patted her back, "Yueyue, be good, don't be afraid, we're all here, we'll protect you."

Although Sheng Laowu couldn't quite understand why Sheng Yue had lied to him, he still went up to comfort her when he saw her looking so pitiful.

Sheng Lao Er said coldly, "Yueyue, you shouldn't have lied to people, and you shouldn't have framed her."

"I was wrong, Second Brother, I really know I was wrong. I was just too jealous. Ever since Xinghe came, Wang Ma and the others have ignored me. They all say behind my back that I'm a fake heiress and will be kicked out sooner or later."

Sheng Yue held Sheng Lao Er's hand, her small face pale, tears streaming down her cheeks. "The third and fourth floors used to be my territory, but now I've given her the best spots on the third floor."

“I don’t want to compete with her for anything. I just hope she can let me stay at home and stay with my parents and you all.”

Seeing Sheng Yue like this, the Sheng brothers didn't know what else to say.

They watched Sheng Yue grow from a tiny little bundle of joy into what she is today. Because of her illness, they were always more lenient and indulgent towards her.

Boss Sheng said, "Alright, it's too late today. Go back and get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."

"And another thing," he pursed his lips, "everyone keep what happened today a secret."

If word gets out, it won't be good for the Sheng family, for them, or for Xinghe.

When Sheng Laosi left, he casually took the porcelain bottle that was on the table with him.

The next day at work, after entering the research institute, he handed the contents of the porcelain bottle to the institute's staff, "to see what medicine is inside and analyze its effects."

My colleague took the dark, plastic-sealed package. "Medicine? Newly developed? It's not poisonous, is it?"

Sheng Lao Si hesitated for a moment, "Should?"

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so unreliable. Okay, I'll take a look."

Xinghe was unaware of all this; she had important matters to attend to today.

Zhong Guofu arrived early to pick up Xinghe.

Zhong Guofu acted as his own driver and was extremely excited the whole way.

"Fairy, you are truly amazing!" He was overjoyed; if he weren't driving, he could have performed a dance on the spot.

“I won that bid. Once this deal is over, I’ll make at least tens of millions. More importantly, I’ve gotten in touch with the Jiang family.”

Although the Jiang family is not among the four major families in Beijing, none of the four major families can easily ignore the Jiang family.

The Jiang family has a history of over a thousand years. They usually keep a low profile, and no one knows their true strength or background. They are like a giant beast lurking underwater, and everyone only sees the tip of the iceberg.

Five years ago, the four most recognized families in Beijing were the Sheng, Ye, Peng, and Su families. Who knew that the Su family would provoke the Jiang family and somehow offend them, causing the Su family to disappear from Beijing in just one month. Now they are not even considered a third-rate family.

From then on, no one dared to ignore the Jiang family.

However, the current head of the Jiang family seems to have some health problems, and the Jiang family is seeking medical treatment everywhere and has become increasingly low-key.

Zhong Guofu briefly introduced Xinghe to the gossip in the capital, and then excitedly talked about all sorts of things that happened to him after he bought the talisman paper.

"The most amazing thing is that my mother has been suffering from minor ailments, but after wearing the talisman you gave her, she felt much better all over. If she wasn't afraid of bothering you, she would have insisted on coming to thank you in person."
