Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven
Chapter 323 Eternal Night Star River 11
Not long after, they heard the sound of light footsteps. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Liu Fuyi, tightly holding Lin Yu's hand, slowly walking out of the mysterious mirror world. When they saw the four people in front of them leisurely drinking tea, they all shared a helpless and speechless expression.
Liu Fuyi could no longer endure this. He shook his head heavily, a hint of dissatisfaction and resentment on his face. He raised his voice and said, "Hey everyone, do you know how many hardships and dangers we encountered in there? It was truly a life-or-death experience! Yet, look at you, sitting here so leisurely and at ease, sipping tea and chatting. Don't you have the slightest concern for our safety?"
At this time, Mu Sheng smiled and responded, "Master Fu Yi, you are a skilled martial artist with vast magical powers. I believe you will be able to turn this misfortune into a blessing. And in my opinion, Miss Lin is also safe and sound."
Just as Liu Fuyi was about to retrieve the demon-suppressing tower she carried, Feng Xi suddenly struck out, a powerful spiritual force shooting at the mirror demon like lightning. A scream echoed as the mirror demon was instantly struck by the spiritual force, unable to withstand its power, and in the blink of an eye, it revealed its true form. Then, Feng Xi swiftly stowed it away in her own bag.
Seeing this, Liu Fuyi was anxious and shouted, "Miss Feng, you absolutely cannot do this! This is a demon. Many brides in the city have tragically died because of her. I must take her to the Demon Suppression Tower and make her repent and atone for her sins!"
Feng Xi narrowed her beautiful eyes, parted her red lips, and spoke coldly, "She didn't kill those brides in the city directly. She simply used some tricks to seduce the grooms, causing them to witness their husbands' fickleness. This series of events ultimately led to some brides, unable to endure such humiliation and betrayal, choosing to commit suicide. As for how to atone for her sins, I will bring her back and punish her severely. You don't need to interfere in this matter! If you are dissatisfied, you can fight me and see who is better!"
Before he could finish his words, an overwhelming pressure surged towards Liu Fuyi, like a mountain crushing an egg. Liu Fuyi felt his breath hitch, his chest as if struck by a heavy hammer, his blood surging. He silently groaned, knowing full well that with his current strength, he was no match for Feng Xi. If he forced a fight, he would likely be defeated and injured.
Thinking of the important task her master had given her before she left—not only to take advantage of the opportunity to build closer relationships and establish good relationships with them, but also to find ways to closely monitor Mu Yao—Liu Fuyi gritted her teeth, swallowed her anger, and forced a smile on her face. She said calmly, "Haha, it turned out to be a misunderstanding! Since Miss Feng has made such a decision, then I will do as she says."
At this moment, the other three people standing by and watching were originally waiting with great interest to see a fantastic duel between masters. Who could have imagined that Liu Fuyi would give in so easily? They could not help but feel disappointed. They all looked at Liu Fuyi with disdain, muttering under their breath, clearly feeling deeply disdainful of his behavior.
Lin Yu regains consciousness and learns the demon has been slain. To strengthen his friendship with Liu Fuyi, he invites everyone to a lantern festival two days later. Feng Xi, noticing the anticipation on Mu Yao and Mu Sheng's faces, agrees to stay and attend the festival. Lin Yu offers gifts to express his gratitude. Feng Xi knows the Taicang Magistrate is an honest official, yet the government treasury is empty. On the day of the festival, a fire breaks out, and Magistrate Lin is falsely accused of corruption. Upon his return, Feng Xi reminds him that if he shows compassion for his daughter, he must make up for the shortfall, lest the envoys from the capital arrive and use their influence against him. Magistrate Lin understands, acknowledges his understanding, and expresses his gratitude. He expends his wealth to eventually make up for the shortfall. On the day of the festival, everyone dresses in their finest attire to admire the lanterns, release river lanterns, and make wishes. Suddenly, a fire breaks out in the government treasury, and many rush to put it out. Feng Xi, Mu Yao, and the others also hurried over. Mu Sheng cast a spell to extinguish the fire. The people sent from the capital were astonished as they looked at the bags of grain. Then, the shadowless golden toad he brought with him leaped out, attempting to devour the treasury silver. Feng Xi preemptively captured it. She then instructed Liu Fuyi to take it into the Demon Suppression Tower. The visitor attempted to threaten them.
Feng Xi's face was as cold as ice, and she stared at the other person with cold eyes. She said in a cold voice, "If the emperor knew what Concubine Zhao did, you might as well guess whether she would meet with misfortune? And will you be safe and sound?"
Hearing this, County Magistrate Lin showed a bitter expression. He sighed and said, "I really don't want to serve as the County Magistrate of Taicang anymore. I'm exhausted..." Before he could finish his words, Feng Xi reached out to stop him.
Feng Xi earnestly advised, "Uncle Lin, you can't give up so easily! Although there are many capable people in this world, if someone else were to manage Taicang County, they might not be able to do as well as you do! After all, the people still rely on you! So, please continue to shoulder this responsibility and benefit the people."
After hearing this, County Magistrate Lin was slightly startled and fell into deep thought. Meanwhile, Lin Yu, standing by, hurried forward to persuade his father, saying sincerely, "Father, Sister Feng Xi is absolutely right! Over the years, you have governed Taicang County in an orderly manner, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. If you were to leave now, it would be truly unfortunate for the people of Taicang!"
After some thought and his daughter's persuasion, County Magistrate Lin finally gave up his intention to resign and nodded slowly, indicating that he was willing to continue to serve as County Magistrate.
Afterwards, everyone discussed and decided to go to Shengjing to retrieve Shangxuanyue, and then return to Qilin Mountain to try to remove the curse of the resentful woman from Mu Yao's body. At this time, Lin Yu stood up and said, "I also want to go with you to broaden my horizons. I wonder if it's possible." Feng Xi thought for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Okay, let's go together."
Just before leaving, Feng Xi quietly lent some money to Lin Yu and instructed him: "Take this money and buy the Niangniang Temple as a gift to your father. Remember to tell him to tear down the Niangniang Temple and rebuild it." Lin Yu nodded in understanding.
As expected, when County Magistrate Lin learned of this and sent people to dig, they discovered a gold mine with astonishing reserves! From then on, the Lin family once again became the most wealthy family in the area.
