Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 44 Cuiping Mountain

After replying to the letter, Lu Zhan handed it to the colleague in charge of delivering the letter and asked him to deliver it to the Jinling headquarters.

He is not a Taoist practitioner and does not have the skill to transmit messages, so he can only use the most primitive method.

After doing all this, Lu Zhan saw that there was nothing to do in the office and his boss was not there, so he went back to the torture room and slept for a while. When he woke up, it was getting dark and it was time to dismiss the court.

Lu Zhan did not go home, but walked towards Jiangning Jinbao Street, which is the most prosperous street in Jiangning. People usually buy goods here, including the most famous roast chicken shop.

Since I have promised the little white fox, I must do it.

He is a good man who keeps his promises, which is fundamentally different from the bad man who uses sweet words to deceive the beast-eared girls.

Jinbao Street was not far from the Demon Suppression Bureau. Lu Zhan arrived at Yuanbao Street in about half a cup of tea. Before he reached Liu's Roast Chicken Shop, he saw a long queue in front of it from afar.

When Lu Zhan approached, he heard some commotion in the crowd. It seemed that the roast chicken shop was not open for business. Manager Liu was standing in front of the door, negotiating with everyone.

"It was a real surprise today. All the roast chickens were snatched away. I will refund you double the money you reserved. I'm really sorry..." Shopkeeper Liu looked worried, but he had to make concessions.

Liuji Roast Chicken Shop is very famous in Jiangning. It opens at 4 p.m. every day. If you come late, you won’t be able to buy any chicken.

Therefore, many people make reservations in advance in order to eat this roast chicken.

Unexpectedly, such an accident happened today. Liuji Roast Chicken Shop had not made a single roast chicken, which made the diners who had lined up in advance very unhappy. In order to appease old customers, Shopkeeper Liu could only refund the deposit double.

After the diners left, Lu Zhan asked, "Manager Liu, what's going on?"

Shopkeeper Liu looked back in annoyance.

I saw a young man in black clothes and black hair standing outside the door. The young man had picturesque features and a handsome face, so handsome that it was a little dazzling.

But what scared Manager Liu the most was the badge hanging around the boy's waist.

"So it's the master from the Demon Suppression Bureau..." Manager Liu immediately clasped his fists and bowed, and said in panic: "Master, please move to the lobby for tea."

Although the people in the Demon Suppression Bureau seem to have no real power and are only responsible for dealing with demons, in the eyes of the people they are more difficult to deal with than ordinary officials.

If ordinary officials come, they can just eat and drink for free.

But if the demon-suppressing master comes, one will be in trouble if he is not careful. After all, the other party is a cultivator, and it is very easy for him to play tricks on him.

"Manager Liu, you're welcome. I just want to buy two roast chickens." Lu Zhan rejected the invitation and said with a smile.

"It's not that I don't want to cook for you, it's just that a good cook can't cook without rice." Shopkeeper Liu said with a bitter face: "In order to ensure the taste of the chicken, my chickens are raised in Cuiping Mountain. They are cooked on time every day and delivered by workers on time. But today my housekeeper was robbed on the way..."

"Laifu, please come out and tell the adults what happened today."

Shopkeeper Liu felt unlucky in his heart. Not only had his chicken been stolen, but he also attracted people from the Demon-Suppressing Bureau. However, he did not dare to show it on the surface, and could only call the butler who was responsible for delivering the goods.

The butler limped over, with several scratches on his neck and his clothes torn, looking extremely disheveled.

Lu Zhan's eyes flashed with golden light, and he saw a faint black gas coming out of the butler's wound.

He must have been injured by a monster.

Lu Zhan instantly perked up and asked, "What's going on?"

The housekeeper said timidly: "My Lord, today I brought my servants to deliver chickens as usual, but unexpectedly, we were blocked by a group of wild boars in the woods at the foot of the mountain. The wild boars are ferocious, and my servants and I were injured. The chickens on the cart were all stolen by the wild boars..."

Cuiping Mountain is located on the outskirts of Jiangning. It is covered with dense forests that block out the sun, and few people usually set foot there.

Because of this, and because the rent here is cheap, Manager Liu fenced off some land in Cuiping Mountain to raise and roast chickens, which is also the reason why his business has gradually grown bigger and stronger.

Be willing to spend money and be willing to expend energy.

Based on the housekeeper's description, Lu Zhan guessed that it was probably a demon beast that had not yet cultivated its own way, but had just become more intelligent, just like a little white fox. It could understand human language, but its IQ was not high.

I was just thinking about killing monsters to nourish my soul, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this... Lu Zhan smiled and said, "Those wild boars are probably not ordinary beasts. They must be killed. I can kill them in the past, but as a reward, I want roast chicken for a month, four chickens a day."

“Really…really?” Shopkeeper Liu looked at Lu Zhan in surprise.

Although wild boars are ferocious, they are wild beasts after all. They cannot fly or transform into humans. They are different from the evil spirits imagined. Manager Liu did not dare to trouble the Demon Suppression Bureau at all.

Even if they troubled the Demon Suppression Bureau, they would have to pay more than just a few dozen roast chickens.

Could it be that this young man is a breath of fresh air in the Demon Suppression Bureau, truly ridding the people of harm?

When Shopkeeper Liu looked at Lu Zhan, there was immediately more respect in his eyes.

Lu Zhan said: "Do I look like I'm lying to you?"

"No, no..." Shopkeeper Liu was flattered and bowed: "Thank you, sir. Thank you for patronizing our shop."

"No need to do that, just tell me where those wild boars appeared?" Lu Zhan asked.

Shopkeeper Liu said hurriedly, "I have never seen this group of wild boars before. This time I encountered them in the locust tree forest at the foot of the mountain. They must have been attracted by the roast chicken. To save you the trouble, I will buy dozens of roast chickens from the shop across the street to lure the wild boars out..."

"That's fine." Lu Zhan said without hesitation.

In fact, he could use his spiritual sense to sense the monsters, but Cuiping Mountain covers a large area, and the monsters' evil spirits are weak, so it is difficult to detect them unless you get close.

According to Lu Zhan’s current realm, if he really used his spiritual sense to search the entire Cuiping Mountain, it would waste a lot of time.

The main reason is that there is no need to waste so much time and energy, and no one is willing to do something that doesn't get corresponding feedback.

Even if Manager Liu didn't bring it up, he would have asked him to prepare things to lure out the wild boars.

However, in order to avoid the roast chicken shop across the street raising its prices, Manager Liu specially called his newly hired servant to go to the competitor's house and buy dozens of roast chickens.

Lu Zhan put it into the bag and said, "In that case, I'll be right back."

Say it.

Lu Zhan rode the wind and headed towards Cuiping Mountain.

Hey, both Yuanshen and the little white fox can be replenished tonight.

Especially the soul must be replenished.

The speed of soul cultivation is very fast now. Lu Zhan estimates that he will be able to reach the middle stage of de-mortalization in two days... This speed is so terrifying, much faster than his own cultivation.

...

Cuiping Mountain has beautiful scenery and pleasant views.

In the past, there were occasional couples who liked to meet here secretly. However, since one couple heard the roar of a wild beast in the forest when they were meeting secretly, they were so scared that they ran out of Cuiping Mountain without even putting on their clothes.

Since then, the number of people in Cuiping Mountain has become even smaller.

Lu Zhan landed in the woods at the foot of the mountain. He used his true Qi to transform into a long wind, blowing the aroma of the roast chicken far away. After the aroma dissipated, he put away his own cultivation and sat under a tree to take a nap.

Not long after.

There was a rustling sound and a fishy smell.

Lu Zhan slowly opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by a group of wild boars.

Many of them had flowers on their heads and were shaking their buttocks at him with shining eyes.

Being too handsome brings a lot of trouble. I believe this is what all handsome guys feel... He understands the truth, but when he sees this kind of scene, Lu Zhan still can't accept it.
