Magistrate Yang called for a while but no one came in. He knew that the Snake Immortal must have knocked his men unconscious.
He took the clothes that Liu Sisi had just thrown to him and covered the girl on the bed with them.
He planned to call a maid to change her clothes tomorrow, as he dared not touch the girl again in order to save his life.
He left the room and went to his wife's room.
After leaving the county magistrate's residence, Liu Sisi used her lightness skill to quickly leave Liu County and head straight for Lingxi Prefecture.
He had already found out the location of Lingxi Prefecture during the day.
Since Liuxian County is quite a distance from Lingxi Prefecture, using light-body skills all the time would be too exhausting.
Worried about not having enough time on horseback, Liu Si thought of the electric scooter she had left at the supermarket. It was a dual-powered scooter with six batteries, and it could run quite fast.
Anyway, it's dark now, there aren't many people around, so I'm not afraid of being seen.
So she released a small electric scooter from her spatial storage and rode it.
Although it was dark and there were few people around, occasionally one or two night watchmen would see Liu Sisi riding something past.
They rubbed their eyes and found that the person was gone.
They all felt as if they had seen a deity.
"The immortals are indeed immortals; even their horses are different from ours," the night watchman muttered, before continuing with his work.
If the city gate is closed, just put the electric car into your spatial storage and fly out.
Fortunately, she now has excellent lightness skills, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to reach Lingxi Prefecture in one night.
It was already late Chou hour when they arrived at Lingxi Prefecture.
Liu Sisi used the same trick again, scaring Prefect Li half to death.
He was in a worse state than Magistrate Yang. Xi Yu slapped both sides of his face with a snake's tail until they were swollen, and also knocked out two of his teeth!
However, he also promised Liu Sisi that starting tomorrow, he would open the granaries in Lingxi City and sell grain to the people in limited quantities at the pre-drought prices.
They would also organize the people to fetch water in an orderly manner so that they could get through the drought. If the food ran out and it still didn't rain, they would report to the imperial court for disaster relief.
Liu Sisi also brought out the rice produced from her two acres of land, as well as rice and flour from the supermarket.
Anyway, supermarkets refresh their inventory every day.
The rice paddies yielded harvests every five days, and she had never eaten any of it. Now, the harvested rice should amount to more than 5,000 jin (2,500 kg) of rice.
Moreover, the rice produced by this space is super large, about the size of a large melon seed, so it should be quite filling.
When Prefect Li saw Liu Sisi wave her hand, his house was filled with grain.
Shocked that it was indeed a divine intervention, he repeatedly kowtowed, promising to do more good deeds in the future.
He must never do such despicable things again, and he must send all the girls he acquired back home and provide them with compensation.
Although the girl she had ruined could never be made up for, he was needed right now to help the people get through this difficult time.
Liu Sisi let him go for the time being, but she wrote a letter to Emperor Yong'an explaining the situation.
She suggested that Emperor Yong'an convict and replace all the officials here. After handing the letter to the messenger, she found a secluded spot and went into her spatial dimension to catch up on her sleep.
The next morning, Lingxi Prefecture posted a notice that all county magistrates and prefectures under its jurisdiction were no longer allowed to exchange girls for water and food.
Furthermore, people could buy grain in the city at the original prices, and each household could fetch enough water for several days.
Finally, it was stated that the government would work together to overcome the drought.
Upon hearing the news, the people lined up to buy food and fetch water, and were so moved that they burst into tears.
Although they didn't know why these corrupt officials suddenly had a conscience, at least they had a way to survive.
At this moment, the man who had met Liu Sisi while he was on night watch last night spoke.
"It must be a divine intervention! The immortal's horse is incredibly fast. I thought I was dreaming yesterday! I never imagined it was real."
The night watchmen on the other side of the line thought the same thing and said the same thing.
"It must be the Serpent Immortal. Only the Serpent Immortal can protect us in our Heavenly Dragon Kingdom."
At that moment, a man heard him and said something.
"Thank you, Lord Snake Immortal." Upon hearing his words, the people knelt down to express their gratitude to Lord Snake Immortal.
Liu Sisi, hiding in a corner, felt uneasy seeing this scene.
"Xi Yu, I wish I were a god. I really want to send them rain."
"Sisi, you've done your best," Xiyu comforted her from the side.
"Well, I was just expressing my feelings, after all, they are all citizens of the Tianlong Kingdom."
Over the next few days, Liu Sisi wandered around the various counties of Lingxi Prefecture, only leaving after confirming that these corrupt officials had not resorted to any underhanded tactics.
Before leaving, she went to Grandma Yin's house again.
"Grandma."
Liu Sisi called out softly from outside.
When Grandma Yin saw Liu Sisi, she came out with her granddaughter Xiaoyue.
“Girl, come in quickly. Thank you so much for the water and bread last time. Now that my granddaughter is back, the government has even given us ten taels of silver. My granddaughter and I can finally survive.”
Grandma Yin always felt that her granddaughter's return was all thanks to this girl, because ever since she met this girl and told her about this matter, everything started to get better.
"Fortunately, my little Yue was too thin and small, and the magistrate didn't like her. She was kept locked in a corner, which is how she survived," Granny Yin said with some relief.
"Yes, it's good that you're back safe and sound. Sister Xiaoyue, please take this and protect Grandma. Also, please keep these safe and eat them slowly. I'm leaving now. I hope you all get better and better."
Liu Sisi took out a dagger and a bag of food from her body and placed them in Xiaoyue's hands.
Xiaoyue knelt on the ground, moved, "Thank you so much, Miss. Xiaoyue will definitely take good care of Grandma."
Liu Sisi quickly helped Xiaoyue up. "There's no need for such a grand gesture. We've only met by chance, and I just helped you out when I was able to."
"I'm leaving now. I hope it will rain on this parched land soon."
Liu Sisi mounted her horse and rode away gracefully.
Surprisingly, two days after Liu Sisi left, it started to rain heavily. The heavy rain lasted for two days before gradually turning into a drizzle, and it only stopped after all the land was completely soaked.
Granny Yin looked at the heavy rain and the story the villagers had told her about the Snake Immortal after buying grain, and fell into deep thought.
"The girl said it would rain, and it really did. It seems that this girl is a snake fairy who descended to earth to save us."
"Xiaoyue! So that girl is the Snake Fairy! No wonder she's so magical! Quick, let's pay our respects to the Snake Fairy."
After saying that, the grandfather and grandson bowed several times to the snake plaque above the door.
The same scene unfolded in the homes of every resident of Lingxi Prefecture.
Liu Sisi, however, was unable to travel due to the heavy rain and has been staying in her room for three days.
"Xi Yu, do you think it's possible that God heard my heart's desire?" Liu Sisi said, lying on Xi Yu's snake body in the space.
"I think so!" You're one of God's favorites.
At this moment, Xia Wanwan and Luo Kuanlong found the main store of Chen Si Food Workshop.
“Master, Madam, someone is looking for you,” a maid said as she approached Liu Dashi.
