Protect Our Chief-Chapter 667 - 78: Shouzhe! The Blessings of the Qi People_2

Not good, Wang Shouzhe’s heart skipped a beat!

Liua Ruoling has come out!

Ruoling’s temper is not something Ruolan can compare to.

Sure enough.

Liua Ruoling’s eyes swept coldly towards the residual soul of Old Ghost Jiang, her voice as cold as ice: "You’re courting death." With that, a powerful divine thought condensed like a blade, slashed towards Old Ghost Jiang.

The killing intent, as tangible as substance, made Old Ghost Jiang feel as if he were plunged into an ice cellar, with only one final thought in his divine soul consciousness. That was... it’s over, it’s over, I, Jiang Yuchen, who traversed the world, will actually die here!

"Ruoling, spare him." Wang Shouzhe hurriedly shouted, "This old ghost still has a Treasure Manual that he hasn’t handed over."

"Yes, yes, that’s right, that’s right, I still have a ’Golden Toad Treasure Manual’, you can’t kill me!" Old Ghost Jiang clung to this last straw of salvation, using divine soul power to vibrate the air, "If you kill me, everything will be gone."

"Foolish." Liua Ruoling’s eyes remained cold, her divine thought turned into a grinding blade, suppressing Old Ghost Jiang’s residual soul, slowly grinding it.

During this process, Old Ghost Jiang’s residual soul was continually crushed, though there was no substantial pain. However, the dispersion of the residual soul little by little caused his consciousness terrifying torment.

This was far more painful than directly tearing his divine soul apart.

"Spare me, grand aunt, spare me." The longer Old Ghost Jiang lived, the deeper his attachment to life, and the more he cherished his life, he pleaded in terror.

Liua Ruoling completely ignored his pleas, continuing to crush his divine soul bit by bit.

That decisiveness and indifference, even made Wang Shouzhe feel a chill, involuntarily sympathizing with Old Ghost Jiang.

Couldn’t you just lay still inside the Jade Pendant? Why did you have to jump out and provoke Liua Ruolan, and end up provoking Liua Ruoling...

"Young Master Wang, please help put in a good word. I can unconditionally hand over the Treasure Manual, I can guide you in your cultivation... After all, I once reached the peak of the Divine Power Realm..." Seeing that Liua Ruoling was unmoved, Old Ghost Jiang turned his pleas to Wang Shouzhe, "Young Master Wang, control your wife."

"Uh..." Wang Shouzhe rolled his eyes internally, old ghost, do you think I don’t want to control her? I can manage the other wife a bit, at least there’s some reasoning... But how do you control this one?

Let’s see you manage one.

Wang Shouzhe picked up the "Ice Crystal Rice Eel Shrimp Congee", sipping it slowly, suppressing the urge to vomit, praising, "The skill of my wife is getting better and better. It’s fine, Ruoling, take your time, I’m not in a hurry."

Half an hour later.

Old Ghost Jiang has been completely subdued... swearing venomously to unconditionally submit to Wang Shouzhe, divulging all the contents of the ’Golden Toad Treasure Manual’.

Ruoling’s efficiency left Wang Shouzhe "amazed", he praised: "Indeed, my wife is quite resourceful, I was having a headache over this old ghost."

Unexpectedly, Liua Ruoling was indifferent to this flattery, casting a cold glance at the empty bowl of congee eaten by Wang Shouzhe, she only said: "You come in, let’s try the things from the Golden Toad Treasure Manual." Then turned and walked towards the Water Moon Celestial Pavilion.

Wang Shouzhe shivered, hastily taking a couple of steps forward and said: "Wife, don’t joke, just now was already..."

"That was with her..." Liua Ruoling turned her head, sweeping with cold eyes, "Whatever she has, you must not short me even a bit."

"How is that possible?" Wang Shouzhe instantly felt as if plunged into an ice cellar, trembling with fear, "Wife, you only come out once every one or two months."

"I don’t care! This just won’t do, yet you still want to take a concubine? Wang Shouzhe, you come in!"

"..." Wang Shouzhe.

...

The next day.

In Shouzhe Courtyard.

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

This time, his main purpose along with Ancestor Xiaohan and others going to the Outer Domain was not to clear the fierce beasts, but to continue to investigate information in depth, and to draw detailed maps based on the information gathered, including maps of fierce beast distribution, in order to provide data support for the next step of the plan.

One must know that the Outer Domain is vast, and not all places are suitable for human habitation.

Moreover, reclaiming the Outer Domain is not like going hunting outside, it’s a very time-consuming and labor-intensive project, necessitating systematic extermination of fierce beasts and poisonous insects, as well as constructing barriers like "Zhouxuan Pass", to artificially isolate developed areas from undeveloped outer domains.

Only in this way can we maximize the avoidance of dangerous creatures entering future human settlements.

Subsequently, fields need to be cultivated, villages and towns established, population migration... the issues to face are countless, and none are simple tasks.

The process is so time-consuming, labor-intensive, and fraught with danger that tackling the Outer Domain’s reclamation cannot be approached recklessly.

Where is suitable for development, where are there dangerous creatures, where is the topography unsuitable for human habitation, needs to be avoided, how large an area to develop, where to establish barriers...

These are not simple tasks, involving countless details, requiring discussion and repeated deliberation in family meetings before finally finalizing.

This time, Wang Zongchang’s exploration only covered a small part of the predetermined area.

However, there were many other gains during the exploration process.

The harvest brought back this time includes the game he and Ancestor Xiaohan acquired during the exploration, as well as some other valuable gains, such as tanned hides, bones, dried spirit beast jerky, processed spiritual medicines, and even some young spirit beast and spirit bird cubs of taming value, as well as spirit fish fry and other living creatures.
