Qi People’s Fortune_2 Chapter 667: Chapter 78: Shou Zhe!

Qi People’s Fortune_2 Bad news, Wang Shouzhe’s heart skipped a beat!

It’s Liu Ruoling who came out!

Ruoling’s temper is not comparable to Ruolan’s.

Just as expected.

… Liu Ruoling’s icy eyes swept over Old Ghost Jiang’s spirit remnant.

The cold voice rang out like ice, “You’re courting death.” Following her words, a surge of dominant God Sense congealed like a blade, slashing towards Old Ghost Jiang.

That manifest intention to kill sent Old Ghost Jiang plummeting into an icy pit.

The only thought left in his divine soul was…

it’s over, it’s all over.

Me, Jiang Yuchen, who has been domineering for so long, will actually die here!

“Ruoling, spare him!” Wang Shouzhe hurriedly cried out.

“This old ghost still has the codex tucked away.”

“Yes, yes, that’s right, I still have the ‘Golden Toad Codex.’ You can’t kill me!” Old Ghost Jiang, clutching this last lifeline desperately, used his divine soul’s powers to vibrate the air.

“Kill me, and you’ll lose everything.”

“Foolish.” The chill in Liu Ruoling’s eyes remained unchanged.

Her god sense formed a sledgehammer, suppressing Old Ghost Jiang’s spirit remnant, slowly grinding away.

During this process, Old Ghost Jiang’s spirit remnant was continually crushed.

Although there was no tangible pain, the gradual dispersion of the spirit remnant caused terrible torture to his consciousness.

This process was far more painful than directly killing his spirit.

“Spare me, grand aunt, spare me.” The longer Old Ghost Jiang lived, the deeper his attachment to life and fear of death became.

He pleaded in great fear.

Liu Ruoling completely ignored his pleas and continued to grind his spirit bit by bit.

Such determination and indifference even gave Wang Shouzhe a chill, making him involuntarily feel pity for Old Ghost Jiang.

Why couldn’t you remain quietly in the jade pendant?

Why did you have to provoke Liu Ruolan and, as a result, even triggered Liu Ruoling…

“Master Wang, please speak for me.

I…

I can unconditionally hand over the codex.

I can guide your cultivation…

after all, I was once a cultivator at the peak of the Divine Power Territory…” Seeing Liu Ruoling unmoved, Old Ghost Jiang shifted his plea to Wang Shouzhe, “Master Wang, control your wife!”

“Uhm…” Wang Shouzhe rolled his eyes.

Old ghost, do you think I don’t want to interfere?

I might be able to control my other wife because she can be reasoned with…

but how can I control this wife?

You try controlling her, show me how!

Wang Shouzhe picked up his “Crystal Eel Rice Porridge,” slowly took a sip, forcibly suppressing his urge to vomit, and praised, “Your cooking skills are getting better and better, dear.

Take your time, Ruoling, I’m in no rush.”

An hour later.

Old Ghost Jiang had been completely conquered…

he swore a poisonous oath to unconditionally submit to Wang Shouzhe, and all the contents of the ‘Golden Toad Codex’ were revealed.

Seeing Ruoling’s efficiency, Wang Shouzhe was “shocked” and full of praise, saying, “Wife, you really have a way with things.

I was initially worried about this old ghost.”

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruoling was unmoved by the flattery.

Looking coldly at Wang Shouzhe who had finished the porridge, she simply said, “Come in, let’s try the things from the Golden Toad Codex.” Then she turned and walked towards the Water Moon Heavenly Pavilion.

Wang Shouzhe shivered all over, hurriedly took two steps forward and said, “Wife, don’t joke around.

Just now we already had…”

“That was with her…” Liu Ruoling turned her head, her cold gaze sweeping across him, “From now on, whatever she gets, you can’t shortchange me.”

“How could that be possible?” Wang Shouzhe’s heart froze, “Wife, you only come out once every month or two.”

“I don’t care!

You can’t go on like this, yet still want to take concubines in?

Wang Shouzhe, come in!”

“…” Wang Shouzhe.

…

The next day.

Inside Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard.

Early in the morning, Wang Zongchang came to pay his respects to Wang Shouzhe.

This time, his main goal for going with Elder Xiao Han and others to the outer domain wasn’t to clean up the fierce beasts out there, but to thoroughly investigate for information and draw a detailed topographic and distribution map of the fierce beasts based on the explored information, providing data support for the next step in the plan.

You must know, the outer territory is vast and not all areas are suitable for human habitation.

Moreover, developing the frontier is not like hunting in the outer territory.

It’s a time-consuming and laborious process.

Not only does it require a systematic extermination of fierce beasts and poisonous insects, but it also involves constructing checkpoints like the “Zhou Xuanguan”, artificially bifurcating the developed and undeveloped regions.

Only by doing this can we minimize the risk of dangerous creatures entering future human settlements.

In the follow-up, we still need to reclaim farm fields, establish villages, transfer population…

there are countless problems to face.

None of these issues are simple.

The process is so time-consuming and fraught with dangers.

Therefore, the development of the outer territories cannot be done recklessly.

Which places are suitable for development, where are there dangerous creatures, where the topography and geography are not suitable for human habitation, thus, should be avoided, how large an area to develop, where to build the checkpoints…

All these are not simple matters, involving myriad minutiae.

They require discussion at family meetings and need to be repeatedly deliberated upon before finalization.

Wang Zongchang’s mission this time only covered a small part of the proposed area.

However, the exploration process did yield quite a few other gains.

What he brought back this time were the spoils of hunting during the exploration with Elder Xiao Han, as well as other valuable collectibles.

This included tanned animal hides, preserved Spirit Beast meat, prepared Spiritual Medicine, and even some young Spirit Beasts, Spirit Birds, as well as Spirit Fish fry and other living creatures.
