God Realm Beast Sealing House 4
The system hesitated, then whispered, "Yes, yes."
"Ha," Xie Guijin laughed angrily, "Master Xie is human, Yao Jinfei is a demon, they are devoted to the original owner, Erlang Shen and Shennong are supreme gods, they can recognize me as a visitor from another world and can make excuses. But what about the Empress? Why can she recognize me too? Are you a legitimate quick transmigration system? Space remains the same, time is consistent?"
"Yes, it is. I'm just a new system, and I made a small mistake. Please don't be angry, okay?"
"A minor mistake? What minor mistake?" Xie Guijin roared.
"That's right, that's right," the system said in a softer voice, "the incorrect settings during transmission caused a series of minor problems."
It suddenly raised its voice: "But don't worry, I guarantee that as long as you complete the mission, you will definitely be able to return to your original world and wake up from your coma."
“Your reputation is zero in my eyes,” Xie Guijin said sternly. “Report your mistake and I demand compensation for it. This mission involves buying and selling houses. You can lure the ferocious beast out by doing so, but you can use other methods to seal it. I cannot force you to seal it by buying and selling. You also need to give me a promise that I will return to reality alive after completing the mission.”
Xie Guijin spoke seriously, but her heart was pounding; she was unwilling to give up without trying.
Ultimately, the relationship between the mission takers and the system's main brain is unequal, so Xie Guijin can only try her best to make amends.
Although Xie Guijin spoke a lot to the system, the Empress saw it as nothing more than a fleeting moment and did not notice anything unusual.
Xie Guijin, accompanied by Xue Linchuan, floated down from the clouds and stood before the Empress, asking, "Your Majesty, why are you so certain?"
"Because Ji Ming," the Empress paused slightly, then continued, "he left a will before he left, saying that he was going to find Miss Xie. So I boldly guess that the Goddess is the Miss Xie he was looking for. I hope the Goddess will not be offended by my abruptness."
Xie Guijin extracted the key points: "Xue Linchuan in this world is dead? What about Miss Xie of the Xie Family Merchant Guild?"
"Goddess, rest assured, Miss Xie is unharmed," the Empress said with a slight frown. "After Ming left, I sent people to investigate Miss Xie. Not only did I learn that she was safe and sound, but I also discovered that the Miss Xie in the report was completely different from the Miss Xie I had met and knew. Strangely, no one else seemed to think that Miss Xie had changed. So I summoned the Xie family father and daughter and questioned them personally. Only then did I confirm that Miss Xie had probably been replaced. Old Master Xie must know about this."
"I see, Your Majesty is truly insightful," Xie Guijin praised.
The Empress smiled calmly and said, "I dare not accept such praise from the goddess."
"The method the goddess just described for sealing the ferocious beast is good, but it seems a bit cumbersome," the Empress said frankly, fearing that the beast would bring disaster to the world if it remained outside for too long. "Since Chaos likes to listen to the slander of evil people, Qiongqi only eats kind and honest people, and Taotie likes to create disasters and conflicts, why don't I issue an edict ordering each prefecture to select kind and honest people to come to the capital to be rewarded, and escort evil people to the capital to be punished, thus luring the ferocious beast to come?"
"Your Majesty is meticulous, but the capital is where the destiny of the human world resides. Your Majesty is ordained by Heaven and is protected by the Heavenly Way. If we act as Your Majesty suggests, I'm afraid the ferocious beasts will not dare to attack." Xie Guijin declined the Empress's offer.
Xie Guijin didn't want to rule out any possibility, so she added, "If I need Your Majesty's help in the future, I will seek Your Majesty's assistance again. For now, all I need is for Your Majesty to observe the situation, allow me to act as I see fit, and cover for us if anything happens."
As the two were talking, the Empress received a message from Shennong.
Seeing this, Xie Guijin stopped talking and gestured for the Empress to read the message first.
The Empress quickly finished reading the letter and handed it to Xie Guijin, saying, "Emperor Shennong's virtue is evident, and his actions are thorough."
Xie Guijin unfolded the letter, and Xue Linchuan leaned over to read it with her. It was written by Shennong himself, with elegant and solemn language. The letter, translated into plain language, stated that Shennong would personally organize the Six Realms Chef King Competition and requested support from all sectors. The competition schedule was also attached, and everyone was asked to contribute their ideas and suggestions for improvement.
The two were filled with admiration after reading it.
As the supreme ancient god of the Six Realms, Shennong could bypass the Empress and others to issue divine decrees directly to the Six Realms, and who would dare to disobey? Yet he first informed the rulers of each realm and humbly accepted advice from the Six Realms, which was truly rare.
Xie Guijin returned the message to the Empress and said, "Since Emperor Shennong is so concerned, it seems that sealing Taotie is just around the corner. In that case, we will go and set traps for the other three ferocious beasts first, and will not bother Your Majesty any longer."
Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan bid farewell to the Empress and headed to Cixi Town.
This place is far from the capital and is a town rebuilt after a flood thirty years ago.
The local land is barren and there are no other sources of income, so people are quite poor, but the local people are simple and honest.
Xue Linchuan and Xie Guijin transformed into a father and daughter.
Xue Linchuan, who was pretending to be the father, claimed that during the flood years ago, he was an orphan who fell into the water and was rescued by people who risked their lives. They also gave him clothes and food, which allowed him to survive.
Now that he has made some money doing business outside, he brought his daughter back to his hometown to give back to the townspeople. He has spent a lot of money to buy most of the houses in Taipingfang in the town and wants the person who saved him back then to live there.
Because he was away from home for many years, he wanted to transfer the house directly to avoid future disputes, so he only accepted six coins as payment to comply with the government's deed transfer regulations.
As soon as the news spread, the townspeople rushed to tell each other.
None of the people he identified as his saviors bought the gift; the kind-hearted townspeople believed it was just a small favor and did not want such a generous reward.
In response, the local government promptly publicized the situation and reported it to the prefectural government, recognizing it as an act of education.
In ancient times, communication was inconvenient, so Xie Guijin was not in a hurry and had no intention of using magic or official institutions to spread the word.
The system wanted to ask, but dared not speak.
After finishing their business, it was already late. Xie Guijin and his companion used the excuse of staying in a neighboring county for convenience in discussing business to avoid staying in Cixi County. Instead, they used magic to return to the Lieshan Divine Realm when no one was looking.
The system flattered Xie Guijin by presenting her with a letter of recognition that she could return to reality and live forever as long as she completed the task of selling houses in the Six Realms, as well as a letter of permission to relax the conditions for completing the task in this world.
Seeing that Xie Guijin had accepted the two books and seemed to be in a good mood, the system couldn't help but ask, "Is that all for today? Aren't you going to do anything else? The Chef King Competition is still in the preparation stage and hasn't been announced to the public yet. The Cixi Town mansion is aimed at Qiongqi, but Cixi Town is a remote and small place in the vast Six Realms. What if Qiongqi doesn't know about the mansion sale? And what about Chaos and Taotie?"
“Let’s not do it. The beasts are sharp-eyed and quick-witted, so they will know.” Xie Guijin knew it meant well, so she didn’t get angry. She explained, “They’re not stupid. If three traps appear in one day, I’m afraid it will backfire and we’ll end up with more traps than we can handle.”
Since Shennong had made a prior statement, Xie Guijin and the other did not go to pay him a visit, but followed the servants to their residence.
The houses in the divine realm are all suspended above the plain, with black basalt walls decorated with glazed patterns and bronze wind chimes hanging from the eaves.
Xie Guijin lay on the large ebony couch and heard a mournful sound like an ocarina coming from the distant crater, which was said to be the spirit of Shennong's daughter calling out.
Xie Guijin thought to herself, "I wonder if the legend is true, and whether Shennong's daughter was Jingwei or Yaoji?"
With these questions in mind, Xie Guijin drifted off to sleep and slept soundly through the night.
As the sun rose, Xie Guijin got out of bed feeling refreshed.
As a pitiful modern-day 996 workaholic, she hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
Xie Guijin stretched and exclaimed to the system, "It has to be the Divine Realm! Before, in the human realm and the demon realm, I slept better at night than in reality, but I would still have a few dreams. But here, I slept soundly until dawn. It was so comfortable."
"Host, what shall we do today?" The system, which does not need sleep, could not comprehend the value of good sleep. Ignoring Xie Guijin's exclamation, it asked with great interest.
"Let's go to Cixi Town first," Xie Guijin said with a cheerful smile.
As soon as the door opened, Xue Linchuan was already waiting outside.
The system joked, "Host, he seems like a middle school student, the kind of innocent little puppy."
"Don't talk nonsense," Xie Guijin said reproachfully, her ears turning slightly red.
She greeted Xue Linchuan, and the two of them traveled by wind and clouds to Cixi Town to visit the county magistrate, explain the situation, and ask the government to select suitable people to buy houses and to lobby on her behalf.
The county magistrate was aware of this matter yesterday, and upon hearing of Xie Guijin's request today, he immediately expressed that the government would provide its full support.
When the people under his jurisdiction rescued an orphan from a flood, and the orphan became famous and repaid the people, the people not only did not take credit or scramble for the reward, but also politely declined, saying that saving lives was their duty. This was a meritorious act of education, and it could be written into the county annals as a political achievement for the Ministry of Personnel's evaluation. The county magistrate felt that Xie and Xue were very sensible.
Using the excuse that they had to go to the neighboring county to discuss business, Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan bid farewell to the magistrate of Cixi County and arrived outside Luojin City in the blink of an eye.
This city boasts excellent transportation and is extremely prosperous. It is a gathering place for all sorts of people, and is also the headquarters of Tingfenglou, a place in the martial arts world where information is traded.
Xie Guijin and Xie Guijin transformed into a brother and sister from a prominent family who were traveling. They first bought a villa in the suburbs outside the city.
Then, they rode in a luxurious carriage to the outside of Tingfeng Tower.
Helped down from the carriage by their servants, Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan adopted the airs of carefree playboys and swaggered into the building.
The envoy hurriedly led them forward, bowing obsequiously, and asked, "Are you two distinguished guests looking to buy or sell information?"
Xie Guijin didn't even glance at the Inquiry Officer, casually tossing a hollow golden melon seed and snorting lightly, "Call your sect leader here."
Wenxinshi reached out and took the golden melon seed. He quickly weighed it and saw that it was not heavy, but of excellent quality. He immediately smiled and stepped forward to lead the way, bowing and scraping, saying, "Please come up to the private room on the second floor and have a seat. Our master will be here shortly."
Upon entering the private room, the maids served fresh fruit and refreshments.
Xie Guijin picked up the teacup and took a sip.
A tall woman with smiling eyes, dressed in a lotus-colored cloud-patterned silk dress, knocked on the door and entered. She gave Xie Guijin and the other woman a deep curtsy and said in a humble yet assertive manner, "I am the owner of Tingfeng Tower. May I ask what my esteemed guests may do for Tingfeng Tower?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted the host to find some nice talkers to come to my villa in the suburbs and say some sweet things to me," Xie Guijin said casually, putting down her teacup.
Before the Listening Wind Pavilion Master could respond, Xue Linchuan added solemnly, "However, don't make a scene and let others know. If anyone speaks well, there will naturally be a reward. Pavilion Master, do you understand?"
