Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 317: Chapter 315: A Good Chat (Thanks to the Overlord Cloud Mist Colonel)_1

Shen Yi, besides truly wanting A’Qing to take care of Qingzhou, actually harbored some other thoughts as well.

According to his plan,

the Xu Family needed a sufficiently safe habitat, while Great Qian had just the problem of too vast a territory to look after adequately.

Both parties had the ability to complement each other.

Not to mention anything else, but A’Qing’s prowess in formations truly satisfied Shen Yi.

This also counted as a trial.

Let her understand the dilemmas faced by Great Qian and see if she could make an initial series of plans.

If it proved viable, they could quickly extend the scheme to the other states.

If Great Qian managed to achieve true stability, there would be enough Incense Willpower to sustain his Golden Body.

“I have some matters to attend to, so I won’t stay,” Shen Yi looked around at everyone.

Those who were most familiar with him unconsciously opened their mouths but did not speak to retain him.

Just like the scene before them.

What caused the General great headaches was merely a trivial issue for Shen Yi, one he could resolve with a casual slap.

The man was now a circuit inspector of Great Qian, no longer just responsible for overseeing Qingzhou. The tasks he faced were ones that others couldn’t even comprehend, much less participate in.

“You must also be careful.”

Chen Qiankun gave a wry smile, looking at the Town Demon Grand General of Linjiang Prefecture whom he had personally selected.

Beyond offering this thin line of comfort, he found he had no way to assist the other man.

“Don’t worry.”

Shen Yi nodded slightly and then soared into the sky on a red cloud.

The people from the Xu Family briefly explained a few things to A’Qing before also mounting their flying boat to follow.

It seemed that something had happened in Great Qian, and now that the only Upper Realm Fox Demon here had been effortlessly dealt with by Shen Yi, they should be relatively safe.

As their silhouettes vanished from sight,

A’Qing withdrew her gaze, feeling lost, only to notice she was surrounded by a group of people.

Her face blushed slightly, and she took a couple of steps back, feeling uneasy, “You all…”

The numerous Demon-suppression Great Generals coughed awkwardly.

Shen Yi seemed not to have made clear this girl’s identity.

In the end, it was Lin Baiwei who squeezed through the crowd, coming before A’Qing and said softly, “We were once… colleagues of Shen Yi.”

On hearing ‘Brother Shen’, A’Qing relaxed considerably, clenched her fists, and said, “I am Brother Shen’s little follower, striving to become his marriage partner.”

“Marriage partner?”

Lin Baiwei froze for a moment, and even Chen Qiankun and the rest of the old timers were stunned.

Then there was that phrase “striving.”

They truly did not understand.

Such matters could depend on effort?

“Cough.”

You Longtao stepped forward, waving his hands to disperse the crowd, “What’s all the fuss about, go on back.”

He seemed to have realized that Brother Shen had gotten acquainted with an extraordinary group of people, likely a major power from outside.

Such beings needed to be treated with the utmost seriousness.

Pondering this, he also felt helpless, knowing Brother Shen’s character for not explaining things clearly, they couldn’t figure out the girl’s personality; offending her would be an unwelcome burden no one could bear.

A’Qian watched Lin Baiwei, who remained nervously clenched-fisted, then cast a glance at the innocent and cute A’Qing, and suddenly started to laugh silently with her mouth open.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

She waved her hand and skipped away from the courtyard.

It was indeed that same Shen Yi; whenever he stepped in, any problem would be solved effortlessly.

“What about you?”

You Longtao looked at his junior sister.

“I… I want to talk to her.”

Lin Baiwei finally unclenched her fists; more than the matter of marriage, she really wanted to know what Shen Yi had been doing during the time he was away.

It was somewhat similar to the situation he had dreamed of.

You Longtao hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, “Then be careful with your words.”

He felt relatively at ease with this junior sister of his, who happened to be around the same age as the girl, making her a good choice to represent Qingzhou in approaching the other party.

After all, they seemed to share a common interest in Shen Yi.

“I understand.”

Lin Baiwei smiled and led A’Qing into a room.

She gently closed the door, “This is where he once stayed.”

A’Qing looked at the spotless furnishings and carefully touched the edge of the bed with her palm, exclaiming in surprise, “Wow, it’s so clean.”

Her eyes darted around before she casually asked, “Is it you who cleans it, sister?”

Lin Baiwei awkwardly shifted her gaze away, “Actually, I used to be quite busy too, but since he came, there hasn’t been much to do in Qingzhou, so I’ve been somewhat too idle.”

As she spoke, she started to stutter, “Is Shen Yi doing well outside?”@@novelbin@@

A’Qing suddenly perked up at this topic, forgetting her earlier probing, and began to chatter non-stop about the things she had seen.

Words like Mysterious Light Cave, Zheng Family, Demon Emperor, Thousand Demon Cave…

These terms were so unfamiliar to Lin Baiwei.

But the name “Brother Shen” would often appear in them.

She sat in a chair, listening quietly, without saying a word, engraving each sentence into her mind.

Lin Baiwei needed these details to make the scenarios in her wild imagination feel more real.

A’Qing, having talked herself dry, wiped away non-existent dust from her body before sitting down on the bed and curiously asked, “Sister, what used to Shen Yi do when he was in Qingzhou?”

Upon hearing this,

Lin Baiwei froze for a while before showing a faint smile, “Well, he…”

In her soft description, the cramped room in Baiyun County slowly and distinctly entered A’Qing’s mind.

The events described were far less thrilling than those told by A’Qing, yet almost every detail was so vivid.

A constable, relying on the saber at his waist, took step by step into Qingzhou and then took a carriage to the Imperial City.

Until evening fell.

When Lin Baiwei stepped out of the door, she saw several senior brothers gathered in the courtyard.

You Longtao transmitted a message to her, “How did the conversation go?”

“I think it went okay…” Lin Baiwei looked back at him.

Hearing this, You Longtao breathed a sigh of relief, “What is her name?”

“Uh…”

Lin Baiwei mindlessly shook her head.

Fang Heng and Bai Ziming twitched the corners of their mouths… That conversation went well?

The young Colonel watching over the courtyard subtly glanced at the group.

Chen Ji adjusted the saber hanging at his waist.

He thought these esteemed figures were making too much of a fuss.

With Officer Shen’s usual disposition, anyone who could befriend him was unlikely to be arrogant or capricious.

The one inside the room must surely be a gentle and kind-hearted girl.

Meanwhile,

A scarlet Demon Cloud led the way, with an ancient flying boat closely following behind.

Traveling through the night sky.

Below it lay the prosperous and vast Li State.

At the moment, the atmosphere at the top of a small mountain was as tense as could be.

About a dozen Yin Gods flitted about.

Each one was an Upper Realm Martial Immortal.

Among them, there were even those who carried Golden Beads.

And behind them,

A Dharma Aspect of a night yaksha, three zhang tall, turned the night sky into a brilliant golden hue.
