The leaves have turned yellow and fallen, and few birds are seen flying past the window. However, along the newly expanded fishpond of Qingmaoju, circles of red and white koi have settled down.
I tossed a handful of fish food into the water, but the koi carp showed little interest, swishing their tails to scatter the food.
"You two have spoiled this fish so much that it's not interested in eating anymore."
Beside him were two pregnant women, Wenxuan and Duruo, who were about to become his concubines. The former was the most sensible young woman, making people feel comfortable and relaxed, while the latter had a go-with-the-flow personality and was only good-looking with no special characteristics. So Daocheng let them both get pregnant.
However, once a sow becomes pregnant, things are not the same as before. After all, even the most uncouth people know that a pregnant sow needs to be well cared for to facilitate giving birth.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Du Ruo subconsciously glanced at Wen Xuan, who gracefully and coquettishly held Dao Chengyi's arm.
"The more the lucky ones eat, the more good fortune they will attract. The fact that they can't eat now is a sign that the master is currently enjoying great fortune. The lucky ones shouldn't accept undeserved rewards."
"We concubines are not very fortunate, so I suppose these blessed gentlemen are eating so happily."
This beautiful woman was quite adept at reading people and never lagged behind in providing emotional support. Dao Cheng smiled as he put his arms around the two beauties.
"How could that be? The master blesses you two every day, how could you be so unlucky and have little affinity?"
These words made Du Ruo blush, but Wen Xuan didn't. She would just lean closer, her slender legs rubbing against the ground beneath her skirt in an alluring way.
"Then how about my lord grants me and my sisters even more blessings?"
The insatiable demon, Dao Chengyi, was preoccupied with other matters today and did not continue. Just then, a servant came to report.
When it comes to important matters, Wenxuan is quite perceptive. He pulled Du Ruo away and left, while Dao Chengyi continued to leisurely feed the fish.
Two people came: one was Zhao Yiwu, the son of a landlord from Woniu Village, and the other was a newly appointed confidant named Ma Yunlai, who had risen through the ranks by giving gifts. True to his name, he was quite lucky.
The Spiritual Rat that Dao Chengyi once wanted to use to refine the Crisis Gu was sent by him. In addition, he had been evaded by the Gu he had been given several times, so it was hoped that it would become the wedge for opening the path of destiny.
"Greetings, young master!"
The two of them looked at each other with scrutinizing expressions before entering, but they straightened up in front of Dao Chengyi.
"How is the situation in Woniu Village?"
Dao Chengyi first asked Zhao Yiwu, who said that the group of people were the food Dao Chengyi fed to Gou'er, so naturally they needed to be looked after by someone.
"Everything went smoothly. After the autumn tax was paid, everyone praised the young master even more and they have already discussed building a shrine for him."
However, the village elder remained silent and was quite supportive in this regard, while there was very little news from his son, Niu Lidou. Aside from the occasional sighting of him at the Jinghong Martial Arts School, he was practically never seen.
That old guy is selling some kind of medicine. If it weren't for the fact that he's related to that Master Li, Dao Chengyi would have already targeted him and turned Woniu Village into his drug research and development base.
However, we could use that meat-recovering organization to test the waters, since someone still needs to take the blame for the recent deaths and injuries.
"Let's work on it again, expose the problems in Niugang Village, compete for the village chief position and try to get control of the beef cattle. As for the old village chief... don't touch him for now, just observe him."
After making the arrangements, he asked Zhao Yiwu to step down. Zhao Yiwu was somewhat disappointed to see that the newcomer was so highly regarded, but he still mustered his spirits and took his leave.
"Sir, this is a tortoise shell that I found in the West Market. I felt that it was quite old, and the markings on it did not seem to be natural, so I bought it."
Ma Yunlai took out a tortoise shell engraved with oracle bone script. Looking at the engravings that resembled oracle bone script, Dao Chengyi picked it up. The Gu Cauldron reacted at this moment, and even the Shi Chan, which was stuck at the fifteenth progress, trembled slightly.
An object related to time? Dao Chengyi played with it for a while without making a sound, then put it aside, showing neither liking nor disliking it.
"This is an artifact from an ancient dynasty, and it does have some collectible value. If you come across it again in the future, feel free to send it to me."
In an instant, Dao Chengyi's opinion of this new underling rose a few points, after all, good Gu materials are indeed rare, especially those that can save lives.
"Okay, also regarding the matter of Niugang Village, the government has also received news. Magistrate Huang was furious and sent a constable to investigate thoroughly, and also invited Master Li to come and investigate together."
While I was using the restroom, I overheard a passing official say that this might involve the Blood Lotus Sect, an organization wanted by the imperial court and various major sects.
The Liao family has also introduced a fertility-enhancing soup, which is said to be effective even for martial artists at the third level or even martial masters in conceiving offspring.
Ma Yunlai was mainly responsible for intelligence on Qingmang City. Although the information was collected by the half-bird manipulator, he also had his own unique skills.
As for the Blood Lotus Sect, Dao Chengyi thought of another treasure-delivering boy, Min Hao. His previous medicine had successfully caught the attention of the Third Young Master, and he himself had been favored. Recently, he had taken charge of the blacksmith shop's business and delivered a lot of ore. The Grass Sword Gu had also successfully completed its second transformation.
"Next, you continue to keep an eye on the government, and while you're at it, go check out that underworld market and buy me some of the best meat."
Although his Gu Dao was going very smoothly, he couldn't give up on martial arts. The immortality of the physical body was something that Dao Cheng really coveted. Don't be fooled by how easily he could crush martial artists with his Gu Dao; he had a cheat code.
