Those at the city gate saw a cloud of dust roll by, followed by Messinfeld, covered in blood, kneeling as he ran to the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes widened, because Messingfly was actually flying, no, to be precise, he was being hung upside down.

Mei Xinfei was found tied upside down on the city wall, and his screams echoed throughout the city gate.

"ah!"

"I've already apologized, why are you still treating me like this!"

"I refuse to accept this!"

Just when everyone thought they were about to be bombarded with the horrifying sounds again, Messingfei suddenly fell silent.

Some people looked over curiously and found that although Messingfei's mouth was still moving, he couldn't make a sound. It was clear that he had been punished by the gods.

"If you're not happy, then keep it to yourself." The divine voice rang in everyone's ears once again.

Immediately afterwards, everyone heard the benevolent deity say, "Now that the matter is settled, I should continue my journey north."

After saying that, there was no more sound.

"Has the Benevolent God really left?"

"Thank you, benevolent god, for punishing evil and restoring peace to Changdong County. From now on, I will only worship benevolent god!"

“Yes, I will only believe in the Benevolent God from now on. Although the Benevolent God does not seek anything in return, we have been saved by the Benevolent God, so we should at least show our gratitude. I will contribute money to build a temple for the Benevolent God.”

"And me, if it weren't for the help of the benevolent god, my father's case would probably have been difficult to clear his name."

I am willing to donate the apology gift given by Messingfly to build a statue for the benevolent god; any excess can be used as incense money.

The crowd chattered excitedly, and soon they had enough money to build the temple and establish themselves.

"The matter of returning the gift to Lord Benevolent God has been discussed, and now it's time to settle our personal grudges." The madam of Cuihua Tower picked up a kitchen knife and headed towards the city gate.

Behind her followed a number of people who had a grudge against Messinfei, each carrying a weapon, seemingly ready to take revenge on Messinfei.

At this moment, Xu Jinhuan looked at the constantly rising faith value on the system page and the gradually replenishing faith power in his stamina, and a beautiful smile appeared on his lips.

"Boss, you've finally come to find us!" Ma Wencai greeted Xu Jinhuan with a smile as he walked towards him from a distance.

Xu Jinhuan asked with a smile, "How's the cotton-padded coat purchase going?"

Ma Wencai proudly tilted his head back, "I've almost finished purchasing everything, and the prices are even lower than I expected."

When the topic turned to price, Ma Wencai seemed to open up and began to talk at length.

"Boss, did you hear what that deity was saying? The shopkeeper was in such a hurry to collect the grain that he didn't bother arguing with us and gave us a very favorable price."

The world is truly full of wonders! This is the first time I've ever heard a clear sound coming from so far away. Boss, can you do that too?

Xu Jinhuan shook her head helplessly. This guy was such a chatterbox. However, she didn't intend to hide her identity from Ma Wencai and the others, who were already 100% loyal.

Therefore, Xu Jinhuan smiled and waved to Ma Wencai.

"Boss, what do you want to say?" Ma Wencai curiously leaned closer to listen.

Xu Jinhuan said with a bright smile, "That immortal is me, but don't tell anyone now. I will tell others when the time is right."

If you keep talking about it, I'll use that trick I just used to spread the word all over the country that you're afraid of pain and cry all the time.

Upon hearing this, Ma Wencai's eyes lit up with excitement. He whispered, "I knew there weren't that many gods in the world! It really is you, Boss!"

After saying that, he turned his head to look at the carriage not far away. Seeing that An Er's attention was not in their direction, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even someone as oblivious as him could tell that the boss trusted them the most.

As for the guys who came later, although they all seem quite loyal so far, it wouldn't be good if some of them harbored bad intentions and delayed the boss's grand plan.

Ma Wencai suppressed his excitement and changed the subject.

"Hey boss, we've almost finished buying the cotton-padded clothes. Shall we leave Changdong County?"

Xu Jinhuan nodded upon hearing this, "Let's go, we're still a long way from the north."

And so, the unassuming carriage sped away from Changdong County.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The system's disaster warning arrived as scheduled.

[Beep beep, a plague is about to strike, countdown 3 hours, duration unknown, please prepare carefully!]

Xu Jinhuan, who was drinking tea in the carriage, paused. Plague? And the timing was unknown?

Does that mean it might last a very long time?

Xu Jinhuan had guessed this before, but she guessed that the interval between disasters would change. However, the system notification time was still fixed at three days later, but the countdown was shortened.

Suddenly, the preparation time was reduced from a whole day to three hours, which significantly reduced the preparation time.

"Da Tou, tell everyone to find a place to stop and rest. I have something to say," Xu Jinhuan said, lifting the carriage curtain to Xie Da Tou, who was sitting on the carriage shaft.

Although Xie Datou was surprised, he immediately nodded, "Okay, boss."

Soon, the group stopped under the shade of a tree.

"Boss, has something happened?" Li Yichang walked over quickly.

Ma Wencai and the others quickly gathered around Xu Jinhuan. They were taken aback when they saw Xu Jinhuan's serious expression, as they rarely saw their boss with such an expression.

Xu Jinhuan nodded solemnly, "Yesterday I saw dark clouds pressing down on the moon and I felt something was wrong. Today I did some calculations and finally got the result. I'm afraid a plague is coming."

"plague?"

“Oh my god, I experienced a plague when I was a child. The whole village fell ill, and I was the only one who survived.”

The expressions on everyone's faces were not good. Floods can be carried to higher ground, and droughts can be stored up, but plagues are invisible and intangible, and no one knows when they will infect people.

Everyone instinctively looked at Xu Jinhuan, who then looked at Xie Guangbai, the only healer in the group, and asked, "Guangbai, do you have a good remedy?"

Xie Guangbai had been thinking about various prescriptions ever since Xu Jinhuan mentioned the plague, so after a moment's thought, he nodded.

"My lord, I do have several medicines here that are suitable for the plague, as well as some preventative prescriptions."

However, the herbs used in this prescription are not cheap, and finding substitutes will likely take some time.

Xu Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as it could be cured, that was fine; she had plenty of medicinal herbs.

Therefore, she said nonchalantly, "You don't need to worry about the medicinal herbs. I have stored a lot. You just need to prepare the medicine and have people decoct it. I will arrange some more people for you later."

After saying that, she turned to Li Yichang and said, "The masks I had made before are still there, right? Now give each person two so they can wear them every day."

"Yes, boss," Li Yichang replied respectfully.

Despite the somewhat somber atmosphere, everyone was filled with hope thanks to Xu Jinhuan's well-organized arrangements.
