In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 93 Xin'an Town's Fine Wine is Unparalleled
After listening to their words, Gu Yuexi pondered, "Demon magic? A pig demon? But why didn't I sense any demonic energy?"

This is not a simple matter at all.

She asked the coachmen, "You say that Madam Wang is possessed by a pig demon. Besides using her magic to turn people into fresh fruit, has Madam Wang exhibited any other changes or abnormalities?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

After thinking it over carefully, the coachmen said to Gu Yuexi, "Besides turning people into fruit, the lady also forbids the people in the town from eating pork. She told the people in the town that pigs are household gods and that eating them will anger the gods, so she told us to worship the pigs in our homes."

"Many of the Wang family's pork shops have closed down."

Zhang Xiuxuan said, "How could a butcher's wife have such power to make the whole town listen to her?"

"Sigh!" The coachmen sighed, exchanged glances, and saw the distress in each other's eyes: "There's nothing we can do. Perhaps the lady has cast a spell on us. Those who ate the pork developed festering sores all over their bodies, and were swarmed with flies. They died within a few days."

Another coachman said, "The lady originally had a Taoist cousin. After she said this, everyone believed her a bit more, so no one dared to eat pork anymore. Instead, they worshipped pigs as gods."

"What an absurd reason!" The person who had turned into a grape found it utterly unbelievable.

"To regard pigs as gods is a truly foolish idea."

"It seems your lady is truly possessed by a pig demon; no human could come up with such a ridiculous idea."

The people found this utterly unbelievable!

"Your Majesty, please save us! We have no choice. The people of the town are controlled by the Madam and her cousin. It's as if everyone in the town is under a curse. If we don't obey, our family members will be turned into fruit and eaten."

"Your Majesty, please use your divine powers to save the suffering people. The lady must be possessed by a pig demon. She used to be a gentle and magnanimous woman. She could not possibly be the person who uses sorcery to oppress the people now."

"Please, Your Majesty, subdue this demon!"

"Waaah—" The drivers were tormented and wept bitterly.

"I understand. I will send a fairy boy to accompany you later. Whether she is human or demon, she will no longer be allowed to harm the human world."

If the mountain won't come to me, then I'll go to the mountain!

Unable to wait for the person behind the scenes to appear, she took the initiative to go and find them. Now it seems that Madam Wang, who was suspected of being a pig demon, is the culprit.

The drivers kowtowed excitedly, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty has saved us from our suffering and shown us great kindness. We will never forget your great kindness!"

"Fire Boy, Water Boy!"

Gu Yuexi called out softly, and two children with extraordinary bearing appeared in the open space.

"Your Majesty!" The two knelt down and bowed.

"Ah—a monster—"

The rickshaw drivers stared in disbelief at the two children who had suddenly appeared.

Fire Boy and Water Boy looked normal.

Gu Yuexi said, "They are not monsters, but two outstanding celestial children by my side. Take them to the town, and they will subdue the pig demon."

A celestial...celestial child?
The driver, trembling, stepped forward and looked at the two children.

She was beautiful and had an extraordinary demeanor.

Thinking about how they had appeared out of nowhere, their faces turned pale, and they had only one thought in their minds.

Inhuman!
However, upon closer inspection, they are quite different from monsters. The legendary monsters are ferocious, bloodthirsty, and cruel.

The two children in front of me are completely different from the rumors.

They were relieved.

"Greetings, two celestial children!"

Several people greeted each other with respectful posture.

"Fire Boy and Water Boy, you two go to Xin'an Town and find out the whole truth for me. If it is indeed the work of evil spirits, you may execute them first and report later. But remember to bring the person behind it to Seven Emperors Mountain."

"Yes! This disciple will go immediately!"

The people who had turned into grapes saw the two children and their initial curiosity instantly turned into reverence.

The two children, though small in age and adorable, were actually celestial attendants under the Empress's command.

Gu Yuexi handed them the demon-binding rope and some demon-slaying talismans. Under the expectant gazes of the coachmen, Gu Yuexi said, "With these two here, you will be safe and sound."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! If Your Majesty can subdue that pig demon, we will surely offer sacrifices to Your Majesty every day."

Gu Yuexi waved her hand, and a gentle breeze arose, causing the surrounding scenery to change dramatically. The coachmen were dazzled and closed their eyes.

Once everything calmed down, I opened my eyes and saw that it was right in front of Master Wang's house.

Their faces turned deathly pale instinctively.

The oxcart was empty; they hadn't completed their mission, and their families were going to be turned into fruit and eaten!

Suddenly they were taken aback.

No! They met a goddess! There really are goddesses in the Golden Saint Mountain Range.

They also received a promise from the goddess.

"God!"

They're truly divine!
With a flick of their sleeves, they arrived at the Wang family's door.

Amazing.

"Is this Xin'an Town?" Huowa and Shuiwa exchanged glances.

Xin'an Town's wines are renowned throughout the world.

He Jinzong said that the wine market in Xin'an Town is about to regain its former glory, so there should be many talented people in the town, it's impossible for it to be so deserted.

This reminded them of their trip to Ping'an Town, where the streets were desolate and barren.

Something's not right either!
"This...we've only been away from Xin'an Town for a few days, how could it have turned into this? The streets are deserted, could they have all been turned into fruit and eaten by the Madam?"

"Was there anyone in town when you left?" Huowa and Shuiwa asked the drivers uncertainly, glancing at the empty street.

The drivers, their faces pale, said, "There were still quite a few people in Xin'an Town when we left, but now they've probably all been..."

They were breathing heavily.

I was covered in cold sweat.

They must have been turned into fruit and eaten by the lady.

Fire Boy and Water Boy said to them, "You stay where you are, we'll go inside and check the situation."

Shuiwa gathered his spiritual power and conjured a square water house, hiding the coachmen inside: "Don't come out. We'll come looking for you after we subdue the pig demon. Remember, don't come out, or you'll face the consequences!"

The coachmen all knew that the two fairy boys were protecting them, and they nodded with pale faces.

The two children transformed into streaks of light and entered the Wang family's residence.

The Wang family's house is a small, three-courtyard house.

"No demonic aura?"

The coachman said that Madam Wang was possessed by a pig demon, so she should have been able to sense the demonic aura.

They randomly found a house and went inside. It was filled with all kinds of fresh fruit, and the rich aroma of the fruit had a bewitching effect, making them want to devour the fruit.

"It seems that these fruits were also transformed from living people."

“We’ll carry them to Qihuang Mountain, and when the goddess turns the villagers back into humans, we’ll turn them back into humans as well.”

The two children immediately carried the fresh fruit from the box to Qihuang Mountain.

Upon seeing the various fresh fruits, Gu Yuexi asked, "Are these also transformed from living people?"

Fire Boy and Water Boy nodded.

"The disciples found the Wang family's storeroom where they stored the fruit and found dozens of boxes of fruit."

"Let's move everything here," Gu Yuexi nodded.

The two children emptied the Wang family's warehouse.
