After asking the question, Long Wangcai seemed afraid that Xu Jinhuan would misunderstand, so he immediately explained.
"I really didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to ask if you need me to help you rebuild your golden body. I've heard that it helps immortals cultivate."
Xu Jinhuan ignored him and simply cursed, "Shut up!"
Upon hearing this, Long Wangcai immediately fell silent, tightly shutting his mouth as if he were mute.
For a moment, the entire underground area was very quiet, with only the sound of everyone breathing and the sound of the physician diligently bandaging the wound.
"Ugh..." Long Wangcai watched as the doctor put his hand into his lower body. He immediately wanted to speak, but remembering what the local earth god had just said, he could only protest with ughs.
The physician slapped down his hand, which he was trying to cover, and said, "Don't cover it. If you don't get treatment soon, you won't be able to be a man anymore, and you won't even be able to urinate."
At the same time, he secretly resented that he shouldn't have stayed in the Long family back then.
Because of Long Wangcai's death, the unfortunate apprentice not only lost his medical skills but was also forced to save so many executioners.
Sigh, life is truly a series of mistakes.
The physician was stopping Long Wangcai's bleeding while inwardly sighing with emotion.
Actually, with his medical skills, he could have relieved Long Wangcai's pain, but he deliberately refused to do so, preferring to let the damned thing suffer for a while longer, ideally even to the point of dying from the pain.
While the physician was treating the patient absentmindedly, Xiao Liu hurried over and finally arrived with the accountant and the silver.
Although Xiao Liu had briefly explained what had happened to the accountant on the way, the accountant was still quite startled when he actually saw the scene.
Good heavens, is this really not a murder scene?
First, there were two managers lying unconscious in pools of blood, then there was Manager Long kneeling on the ground, covered in blood. My God, this is terrifying.
"Manager, I'm here."
Long Wangcai was about to speak when he remembered Xu Jinhuan's earlier curse about being noisy. He lost interest in discussing things with the accountant and waved his hand impatiently, signaling Xiao Liu to explain things to him.
At this moment, Xiao Liu understood his manager's signal and immediately asked the accountant to calculate the monthly salary of the laborers present. After the calculation was completed, he was instructed to open the chest, take out the silver, and hand it over to the laborers.
He was genuinely afraid that the deity might unleash some more divine power. After all, even the legendary hero Lu, who earned twenty taels of silver a month, had died. How far was he from death?
Although the accountant was puzzled, seeing that Manager Long did not intend to stop him, he immediately said, "Okay, Manager, I'll start calculating now."
Just as the accountant picked up the abacus and started working on it, Xu Jinhuan suddenly spoke up: "As I said before, in addition to their monthly salary over the years, there is also compensation for their emotional distress over the years."
After saying that, she took out a small knife from her spatial storage and threw it at Long Wangcai's right hand, severing his little finger.
"This is a warning."
Long Wangcai stared bitterly at his right hand, which was covered in blood. He felt so frustrated that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. There were so many bad people in the capital, why did the local earth god have to pick on him?
Despite his inner turmoil, he knew he couldn't afford to offend that ruthless deity, so he could only angrily wave his hand at Xiao Liu again.
This time, he swung his right hand again, but forgot about his broken little finger, and directly smeared the blood from his hand all over Xiao Liu's face.
With a stiff face and a bitter smile, Xiao Liu said to the accountant, "The manager said to add that so-called 'compensation for emotional distress'."
The accountant was stunned when Xu Jinhuan suddenly spoke. Xiao Liu had been too concise and hadn't explained things clearly at all.
My goodness! I've met a true god!
But, would this deity also attack him?
Then I should first send a message of goodwill to the deity, so that the deity knows that I am a good person.
The more turbulent the accountant's heart was, the calmer he appeared on the surface.
"Alright, I understand. Including that bastard's emotional distress compensation, let's give him fifty taels of silver per person. What do you think, Your Excellency?"
Xu Jinhuan thought this person was sensible enough, and simply replied, "Yes."
And so, everyone present, except for Long Wangcai who just stared blankly, all wore expressions of approval.
Long Wangcai wanted to express his displeasure, but Xiao Liu, who was quick-witted and agile, covered his mouth.
"Shopkeeper, do you even want to live? The local earth god has already given his permission, and you still want to go against the grain? Can't you see that your body is riddled with holes?"
If we continue to oppose it, we could really lose our lives!
Long Wangcai had just lost his mind because he was too distressed about the money, but after Xiao Liu's words, his rationality has returned.
He didn't say anything more, but his face was now wrinkled and his eyes were tightly closed.
He didn't want to see his money being given to a lowly person he used to look down on.
"Everyone line up, there's something for everyone." The accountant greeted the laborers present with a friendly and enthusiastic smile, hoping to make a good impression on the local earth god.
"Thank you, thank you, Lord Land God." An honest-looking man accepted the heavy money bag, his eyes already red and tears glistening in them.
"Honey, we're rich now! Xiaowei can go to school!" Some couples hugged each other tightly after receiving the money bags, their eyes filled with hope for the future.
Everyone present happily accepted the money bag, except for one person whose face didn't show much joy when she received it—that was Sister Zhao.
More than receiving compensation, she wanted her little tiger head to come back to life...
After everyone received their money, Long Wangcai, who was standing to the side, looked excitedly into the void and asked with a face full of anticipation.
"Lord Earth God, now that these people have received compensation, shouldn't I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Jinhuan took out a whip from his spatial storage, lashed it out, and whipped Long Wangcai up.
"Open the gates and let them leave."
Long Wangcai could only nod wryly and quickly tell Xiao Liu to get to work.
Upon hearing that they could leave the Long residence, the others immediately headed happily towards the exit. Only Sister Zhao thought for a moment and then suddenly moved towards Xu Jinhuan's direction.
She walked to a spot that seemed about right, and after making sure that Long Wangcai couldn't hear her, she whispered.
“Lord Earth God, Long Wangcai didn’t mention something earlier. He has several such dens in the capital. We are not the only victims. We hope you can help those people escape their suffering as well.”
After saying this, Sister Zhao knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times before leaving with the money bag.
Once only a few people remained underground, Long Wangcai cautiously asked, "Lord Earth God, I have done everything you asked. Am I alright now?"
"Nothing's wrong?" Xu Jinhuan sneered. "You're in big trouble."
