Ultimately, lured by the insurance, Mu Wanzhou agreed to stay and intern.
After all, this job not only offers a generous salary and benefits, but also provides the opportunity to explore a mysterious and fascinating world.
In addition, he heard the tall, blue-faced, fanged man say that the underworld was about to establish a brand new department specifically to manage the spirits of those cultivators.
This news thrilled Mu Wanzhou, as he believed it was a rare opportunity to make a name for himself in the underworld.
"Xiao Zhou, don't worry about working here! I'll pass on a message to your father for you, and you can go back to visit him when you have time off. So, you don't need to worry too much about things at home."
Jiang Wanwan's gentle voice interrupted Mu Wanzhou's reverie. He nodded gratefully, indicating that he would work hard.
After successfully completing the task entrusted to them by King Yan, Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan returned to Qingshi Town together to deliver a message to Mu Tingchuan.
However, to their surprise, Mu Tingchuan did not object when he heard that his son was going to work in the underworld. Instead, he was unusually excited and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan for their recommendation.
This surprised Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan, since he had previously told them that he wanted his son to take the entrance exam for the Xiaoyao Sect. However, none of that mattered.
After saying goodbye to Mu Tingchuan, Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan strolled around Qingshi Town, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
Walking down the street, feeling the bustling crowds and the warm atmosphere of the town, the setting sun cast long shadows on them.
As they walked, they admired the scenery along the street and occasionally stopped to sample some local delicacies.
At this moment, they forgot all their troubles, immersed themselves in each other's company, and enjoyed this ordinary yet beautiful life.
As night fell, Jiang Wanwan returned to the Jiang family courtyard carrying large and small bags of spiritual food.
As soon as she entered, she saw Jiang Beixing staring at the food in her hand with shining eyes.
He rushed over, snatched the large bag from Jiang Wanwan's hands, and exclaimed excitedly, "Braised duck, roast chicken, and takoyaki! Ah! Sis, you're so great!"
Upon hearing the noise, Jiang Nanxing immediately ran over and began to struggle with Jiang Beixing.
Since the resurgence of spiritual energy, shops selling spirit beast meat have sprung up in the town. The key is that the meat is made using a secret method, and the taste is absolutely amazing!
For example, shops selling braised food such as Chunwei, Jiujiu Duck, and Li's Freshly Cooked Food started selling braised food made with the meat of mythical beasts, and the aroma could be smelled for miles around.
Seeing the two about to fight over a little food, Jiang Wanwan smiled helplessly and said, "I have plenty more here!"
As she spoke, she took out several more packets from her storage space. These were originally meant for her, but seeing how much they liked them, she decided to share them.
"Xiao Wan, don't mind those two. They've always been like this since they were little. It's like they only find food delicious when they're fighting over it!" Madam Yang walked over with a smile, bringing two chairs from the house and inviting Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan to sit down.
"I just came to visit my grandparents. I just heard in the group chat that they came out of seclusion and came down the mountain. They've both reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!"
Jiang Wanwan pulled Yan Ziyan to sit down and began asking about her grandparents.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a strong, resonant voice rang out.
"Xiao Wan! Hahaha, your grandpa can finally fly over walls and leap across rooftops!"
After saying that, Old Man Jiang, who had just stepped out of the house, lightly leaped onto the roof, and then a series of crackling sounds rang out as the green tiles fell to the ground.
"Old man, get down here! You're about to rip the roof off the second son's house!"
As soon as Tian Dahua came out, she saw the tiles that her husband had trampled on and knocked to the ground, and she stomped her feet in distress.
"Oh dear, don't be angry, old woman. I'm just too happy."
Old Jiang landed with a leap, looking at Tian Dahua with a smug smile.
"snort!"
Tian Dahua glared at him, then turned around and pulled Jiang Wanwan along, starting to dote on her own granddaughter.
"Xiao Wan, let Grandma take a look. It's been a while since I've seen my granddaughter, and she's gotten more and more beautiful!" Tian Dahua looked at Jiang Wanwan with affection.
"Of course, don't you know whose granddaughter I am? Grandma, and Grandpa, come here, I brought you some of your favorite pastries." Jiang Wanwan said coquettishly.
As Jiang Wanwan spoke, she filled the stone table with the pastries and snacks she had bought.
Tian Dahua happily picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, and praised it highly.
"Mmm, it tastes really good, Xiao Wan."
Old Man Jiang also tasted it and nodded in praise.
"Hehe, as long as Grandpa and Grandma are happy, that's all that matters," Jiang Wanwan said with a smile.
"By the way, Xiaowan, how have you been lately? Have you run into any trouble?" Tian Dahua asked with concern.
"No, Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry," Jiang Wanwan said, shaking her head.
Tian Dahua then turned her head and asked mysteriously, "How are things going between you and Yan?"
Jiang Wanwan blushed and said, "Grandma! Don't talk nonsense, it's not even close to happening yet!"
Since everyone here is a practitioner with keen hearing and sharp eyesight, they all pricked up their ears to eavesdrop when Tian Dahua talked about Yan Ziyan.
Is that all?
Yan Ziyan felt embarrassed to stride up to Jiang Wanwan and try to rescue her from her predicament, so he said, "Wanwan, we should go back to the Xiaoyao Sect. Those two are still waiting!"
Jiang Wanwan quickly got up to say goodbye to everyone. Her movements were somewhat hurried, as if she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Tian Dahua reluctantly stood up, but the thought of going up the mountain to find her granddaughter the next morning cheered her up.
She nodded and gently reminded him, "Be careful on your way back. If anything happens, talk to your family. Don't try to handle it all alone."
Jiang Wanwan nodded, then turned to leave.
However, just as she reached the door, she heard Jiang Nanxing eating a duck neck and singing loudly at the doorway:
"Ah Zhen has fallen in love with Ah Qiang, and Ah Qiang also likes Ah Zhen. They're both too shy to confess, so they need my help!"
Jiang Wanwan stopped abruptly, a blush of embarrassment spreading across her face. She turned to look at Jiang Nanxing, only to find him watching her and Yan Ziyan with a mischievous grin.
Yan Ziyan also heard Jiang Nanxing's singing and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
They exchanged a glance, both feeling flustered and quickly looked away. They took a step at the same time, but their nervousness caused them to move in unison. Just then, they accidentally bumped into each other at the doorway, their foreheads colliding hard.
"Xiao Wan, you go first..."
"Senior brother, you go first..."
The two blushed and looked at each other awkwardly. They felt the piercing gazes of the crowd behind them, and the teasing from Jiang Nanxing. At that moment, they felt as if the whole world was watching them, their hearts filled with shyness and helplessness.
Jiang Wanwan vanished in a flash, leaving Yan Ziyan standing awkwardly at the door.
