So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

It was already broad daylight. Canglan quickly packed her things and headed towards the village entrance. She had learned from the old educated youth yesterday that she had to take an oxcart from the village entrance to get to the town.

When she arrived at the village entrance, there weren't many people on the oxcart yet. After paying the fee, she sat on the cart and waited. Soon, a few villagers arrived, followed by the other educated youth who had come to the countryside with her the day before.

Shen Qingyun paid the bill and walked towards Cang Lan with seemingly casual steps, sitting down in the empty seat next to her. The whole movement was natural and smooth, as if it were just an ordinary choice. However, his ears turned slightly red when he sat down. He tried to maintain his composure, but he couldn't help but steal a glance at Cang Lan.

Li Die witnessed everything from the side, her brows furrowing instantly, a strange displeasure rising in her heart. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Shen Qingyun liked Ding Xianli. However, there was no empty seat next to Shen Qingyun, so she could only sit down opposite him in a huff, secretly observing the two of them.

【Host, it seems like Shen Qingyun likes you?】 Xiao Bai's voice rang in Cang Lan's mind, with a hint of excitement at discovering something new, and a touch of gossip.

"What's the matter?"

Canglan responded in his mind, his tone flat and without any ripples.

Xiao Bai's rosy fantasy was instantly shattered. [Host, you're so boring!]

"Tch! What's it to me?" Canglan scoffed.

The oxcart swayed slowly, and none of the people at the educated youth settlement said a word. They just listened to the gossip of the two villagers on the oxcart, and the two kept chatting.

Zhou shouted, "Hey girl, what happened at your house this morning? Why is Li Jinwang acting like he's gone mad? The whole village is talking about the commotion. I heard he got into a fight with a pig. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang immediately burst into tears: "Oh dear, don't even mention it! That Li Jinwang must have been drunk and confused last night. He mistook the estrus drug we use for breeding pigs for alcohol and ate it all. Don't you think he's a bit dim-witted?"

And then he came asking for compensation! What am I supposed to pay him?! He ate my medicine; I'm already being lenient by not making him compensate my pigs. My pigs were tormented by him all night; they're still lying there, their legs too weak to stand. I have to go to town to see the vet and see if they can help.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cuihua's eyes widened, and she leaned closer, whispering mysteriously, "Sister, you know Li Jinwang is a tough guy, isn't he? He messed with that thing all night, is it still usable? I hope he didn't ruin it?" Although her voice was soft, it was like thunder in the quiet oxcart. Several men blushed instantly, their faces turning bright red to the roots of their necks, while the women didn't react much.

Aunt Wang curled her lip and said loudly, "Useless my foot! It's definitely ruined! The people at the clinic told him to go to the big clinic in town to have it checked out. I guess it won't be usable in the future."

Zhou Qin clicked her tongue: "Oh, it's okay! Even if his thing isn't broken, with his lifestyle of eating, drinking, gambling and whoring all day long, what girl would want him? He's bound to be a bachelor forever."

……

The two chatted idly on the oxcart, and before they knew it, they had arrived in town. The old man driving the oxcart shouted at the top of his lungs, "Listen up, everyone! Be here on time this afternoon, or we won't wait for you!" After he finished speaking, everyone headed towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

As soon as Cang Lan stepped off the oxcart, Shen Qingyun's voice came from behind: "Comrade Ding, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative together." Cang Lan didn't stop walking, but just glanced at him slightly without saying a word.

Seeing that Cang Lan did not refuse his request to accompany her, Shen Qingyun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He caught up with Cang Lan in a few steps and walked alongside her, looking rather content.

Watching their retreating figures, Li Die gritted her teeth in anger, her face alternating between pale and flushed. But quickly, she composed herself, her lovely smile returning to her face. She quickened her pace and said sweetly to Shen Qingyun, "Shen Qingyun, can I come with you? I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative too."

Shen Qingyun merely glanced at her coldly, his tone distant: "There's only one road to the supply and marketing cooperative, so there's no question of traveling together." With that, he caught up with Cang Lan in a few steps.

Hearing this, Li Die was saddened, but she didn't blame Shen Qingyun at all. She glared fiercely at Cang Lan's retreating figure, 'She's only been here a few days, and she's already bewitched Shen Qingyun like this; she's a real vixen.'

Immediately, Li Die put on a sweet expression again, pretending not to understand the refusal in Shen Qingyun's words, and continued to follow behind the two of them attentively.

Li Bao'er and Jin Jiajia saw this scene from behind, exchanged a glance, and understood each other without saying a word.

Soon, the group arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. As soon as Cang Lan entered, she began a shopping spree, buying everything she set her sights on, whether it was candy, pastries, or expensive fruit. This scene naturally drew extra glances from the shop assistants at this extravagant woman.

"This woman is really beautiful and so rich. She can buy whatever she wants."

"Yes, look at all the things she picked out, they're all high-quality items." These words reached Li Die's ears, making her clench her fists in anger, her face turning very ugly.

Li Die, standing to the side, stared intently at Cang Lan's every move, her gaze seemingly burning a hole through Cang Lan. Her face grew increasingly grim, and she couldn't help but curse inwardly, 'That Ding Xianli, she's just a sickly girl, even sent to the countryside, how come she's so rich? I can only afford things she doesn't even want.'

The next second, Li Die could no longer contain her anger. She forced a fake smile and stepped forward, her tone full of sarcasm: "Ding Xianli, you bought so many things! You're really willing to spend money. It's not easy for us educated youth to earn money. If you spend so extravagantly, what will you do if you need it in an emergency? Besides, your health isn't good. How can eating so many sweets be good for your health? Don't ruin your health and then we'll have to trouble everyone to take care of you."

After saying that, she walked over to Li Bao'er and Jin Jiajia, pretending to be affectionate, and said, "We have to save some money. It would be troublesome if someone gets sick or has a fever and we don't have any money."

Cang Lan raised an eyebrow, a sly glint in her eyes, and a faint smile played on her lips. She said unhurriedly, "I have money, so naturally I can buy whatever I want. If I get sick, that's simple too. Just hire someone to take care of me; what's so difficult about that?" As she spoke, she glanced at Li Die casually, the meaning in her eyes clear.

Hearing this, Shen Qingyun couldn't help but chuckle. He looked at Cang Lan with a smile in his eyes and said, "Comrade Ding, what you said makes sense. But don't worry, if anything happens, there will definitely be someone willing to take care of you."

After saying that, he looked at Li Die again, the smile on his lips fading slightly, and said with a hint of seriousness, "Everyone should hurry up and buy what they need, instead of staring at others!"

(Upon hearing this, Li Die felt her face burning, but since these words came from Shen Qingyun's mouth, even though she was filled with grievance and anger, she could only force herself to swallow them back and didn't provoke Cang Lan for the rest of the afternoon.) Repeat

Upon hearing this, Li Die felt a burning sensation on her face, as if a ball of fire was scorching her. But these words came from Shen Qingyun's mouth, and despite her grievances and anger, she could only swallow them back as if her throat had been choked, and she didn't dare to provoke Cang Lan again for the entire afternoon.

But Canglan had no intention of letting her go easily. In just a short while, Canglan disappeared without a trace.

Shen Qingyun was the first to notice, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Li Die, on the other hand, was secretly delighted when she saw that no one else was with them and that only she and Shen Qingyun were left. She felt that this was a golden opportunity for her to get closer to Shen Qingyun, and she had to seize it.

So, she straightened her clothes, put on a perfectly timed smile, and walked lightly toward Shen Qingyun. Along the way, she cleverly found topics to talk about, spoke to Shen Qingyun in a soft voice, and would occasionally flick her hair, trying to show off her charm.

But Shen Qingyun had already seen through Li Die's intentions. He had seen too many people like Li Die and knew that once such people received a response, they would cling to her like leeches, becoming increasingly demanding. Therefore, he did not react to Li Die's attentiveness and let her busy herself around. However, Li Die mistakenly thought that Shen Qingyun was slowly accepting her and became even more attentive.

This annoyed Shen Qingyun so much that he suddenly quickened his pace and ran away.

Seeing this, Li Die had no choice but to hurry after him. In her panic, she ran without thinking, and after only a few steps, she collided violently with a figure that suddenly appeared, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The fall was quite severe, and the pain brought tears to Li Die's eyes. She was about to unleash a torrent of curses at whoever was so blind, but when she looked up and saw who was in front of her, the curses that were about to spill out were instantly swallowed back.

The man before her was tall and handsome, exuding an aura of wealth and power. Li Die's expression instantly turned shy, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes. She hurriedly replied, "No...it's nothing." Her voice was barely audible, with a touch of coquettishness.

The man frowned slightly, his face serious yet filled with gentle apology, his eyes full of concern: "Comrade, I'm so sorry, I was reckless. You're injured, I'll take you to a nearby clinic to get it checked out."

Li Die looked at her bruised palms, then secretly glanced at the handsome and wealthy man in front of her, and immediately agreed.

Out of Li Die's sight, the man glanced discreetly in Cang Lan's direction. This man was actually Xiao Bai. Cang Lan had planned all of this long ago; she had given Xiao Bai a handsome human skin beforehand, all to lure Li Die into the trap.

Didn't she like finding men for the original owner of this body? Well, she'll find one for her too, and make her fall from grace to the bottom, leaving her with nothing.

Upon arriving at the clinic, as the doctor treated Li Die's wound, Xiao Bai casually and elegantly took out a wad of cash from her wallet. The wallet itself looked high-end, and the thick wad of cash inside dazzled Li Die.

Li Die's eyes lit up instantly, and her heart pounded wildly. After her wound was treated, Li Die said to the man with gratitude and a touch of shyness, "Comrade, thank you for bringing me to the hospital. My name is Li Die, and what's yours?"

Following Canglan's instructions, Xiaobai replied, "My name is Wu Hao, I'm from Kyoto, and I'm here to do business."

Upon hearing this, Li Die was overjoyed, her eyes practically overflowing with excitement. She secretly gloated, "What a golden catch! Humph, Shen Qingyun, so what if you don't like me? And Ding Xianli, so what if Shen Qingyun likes you? He's neither as handsome as Wu Hao, nor as rich." Thinking of this, Li Die's gaze towards Wu Hao grew even more ardent, carrying a hint of barely perceptible greed.

Xiao Bai was on the verge of tears. That murderous gaze... If Xiao Bai hadn't been afraid of failing the mission and being beaten up by Cang Lan, he would have run away long ago.

Next, Li Die didn't ask Wu Hao too many questions directly, as she didn't want him to see through her thoughts. She pretended to chat casually with Wu Hao, wanting to secretly inquire how long Xiao Bai was going to stay here. When she heard "Wu Hao" say that he was going to stay here for a long time, she smiled even more happily.

Next, Wu Hao took Li Die to a state-run restaurant for a meal. At the dinner table, Li Die learned from Wu Hao that he lived in a nearby guesthouse and that she could come to him if she needed anything in the future.

Now, Li Die was almost certain that Wu Hao was interested in her. Overjoyed, she quickly realized that it was time to gather in the afternoon. Li Die reluctantly parted ways with Wu Hao and even got on the oxcart. Along the way, Li Die didn't secretly look at Shen Qingyun again, which made Shen Qingyun breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Li Die had finally given up on bothering him.

Canglan watched quietly as Li Die's face lit up with love, a meaningful smile curving her lips. She knew that Li Die had fallen into her carefully laid trap...

"Host, please don't make me do this kind of thing again! Li Die's eyes are terrifying! All afternoon, she stared at me like I was a piece of meat, her eyes could see right through me. I felt like she was draining me dry, it really scared me to death." Xiao Bai said, patting her chest in terror, her eyes wide like saucers.

"Braised pork belly, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, sweet and sour pork tenderloin," Canglan recited the menu in a leisurely manner.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's eyes lit up instantly, and drool uncontrollably dripped from the corner of his mouth. He hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve and said with a beaming smile, "This job is amazing! Host, if there are any more jobs like this in the future, you must come to me. I love it so much!" After saying that, he kept licking his lips, looking like he was drooling.

Canglan: Get it!

……

Soon, the day to start work arrived. Before dawn, Canglan and the others hurried to the fields to assemble. Once everyone had gathered, the village secretary began assigning tasks, and as expected, Canglan was assigned to be the scorekeeper.
