Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Although this "Declaration of the Punishment of Dog Thieves" was written and illustrated with charcoal sticks, the woman's expression as she held a flower was incredibly lifelike, and the detailed portrait beside it was a style that Zhang Shun had never seen before.

In particular, the handwriting is interspersed throughout, complementing each other and creating a harmonious and spacious effect.

These characters... are truly exquisite!

Not only is it bold and unrestrained, but it also reveals a deep hatred for the "dog thief" between the lines, which is why it was written in one go.

He looked around and, finding no one nearby, carefully peeled it off.

This notice will become one of his treasured possessions.

Once he understands the true meaning and masters the essence of this calligraphy, he will surely become famous in Beixuan City!

At that time, hehehe, those girls in brothels will surely throw themselves at him in order to obtain his calligraphy.

Just then, a woman came walking from the corner of the road, throwing something around.

Zhang Shun glanced back, but the light was against him, so he couldn't make out her features.

He sneered.

At the end of this road was the brothel he frequented; this man must have been going to see his lover.

No, she must be going to play with her lover.

Once he has mastered calligraphy, not only will the girls in the brothel admire him greatly, but perhaps even some of the women who go to play with young lovers will secretly fall for him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

far away--

Ye Xiaozhou had just made vows of eternal love with her lover and was planning to find some new fun when she turned into the alley and saw a lewd figure ahead of her.

The dog is furtively scratching at the wall.

She glanced at it a couple more times.

Then he heard the man laugh lewdly.

Ye Xiaozhou frowned, a guess forming in her mind—this person must be her lover who secretly harbors feelings for her, and thus has taken a different approach to ambush her here.

He even leaned against the wall, making that gesture to attract her attention.

Thinking about it this way, it's understandable why this person laughed so unrestrainedly.

Thinking this, Ye Xiaozhou casually tossed a copper coin into her hand. As soon as she caught it, she paused.

what happened?

It seems like someone wants to harm me.

She was puzzled and couldn't figure out which one was seeking revenge.

Having encountered such a mishap, she had no intention of paying attention to the man in front of her who was posing with his head bowed. Just as she was about to pretend not to see him and walk past, the not-so-good-looking man suddenly looked at her with a surprised expression.

She looked down at her dress; it was beautiful.

Just as she was about to ask what was going on, she saw the man point tremblingly at her and say:

"Thief...dog thief!"

Ye Xiaozhou was somewhat bewildered.

The next moment, she caught a glimpse of the notice on the wall, and the person depicted on it looked just like herself.

She tore the notice down, pressed her other hand against Zhang Shun's forehead, and pushed him back, causing the lewd man who had pounced on her to fall to the ground.

Looking down at the notice, Ye Xiaozhou felt a tightness in his chest.

"A dog thief?!"

"Heh...hehe."

She sneered, tossed a coin aside, and spat out three words through gritted teeth—"Wishing you...no...invitation!"

Zhu Wuyao is diligently posting notices.

She wiped the sweat from her brow with her sleeve and removed the stool.

Some of the posters that were put up earlier have been torn down. I don't know what's wrong with those people.

What's the point of tearing down a notice?

Helpless, she had to jump up and down, using stools and other high places to post the notice.

Just as they finished packing their things and were about to head to their next destination, they suddenly bumped into an invisible wall.

Zhu Wuyao touched her forehead and calmly turned around.

Ye Xiaozhou sat on the railing of the pavilion with a cold smile, holding a stack of notices in his arms, looking down at Zhu Wuyao.

"You'd better give me an explanation."

Zhu Wuyao looked at the pile of notices in her arms and thought to herself, "Wow, that's impressive." If this were in her previous life, she could earn ten days' worth of money in a single day as a cleaner who removes small advertisements.

"This is out of necessity, please forgive me. Your senior brother made a mistake while practicing a new spell and is now unable to use his spiritual energy. There was a murder case involving demons at the Longevity Inn, and he is guarding it there. He may be in danger."

Ye Xiaozhou found it difficult to fathom the plight of others who were also practitioners of divination.

But that didn't stop her from thinking that Zhu Wuyao was deceiving people.

"Ha, what a joke! My senior brother made a mistake while practicing a new spell and couldn't even move his spiritual energy? Why don't you say he went swimming in the river and nearly drowned?"

Zhu Wuyao was also helpless; that's just how it is.

"You'll know once you take a look."

"I understand, you and your senior brother are trying to set a trap to catch... no, that's not right."

Ye Xiaozhou wanted to say that this was a trap, but then she suddenly realized that if her senior brother really wanted to capture her, he should have shown himself by now. She frowned, jumped down from the pavilion, and walked up to Zhu Wuyao.

"Is he really injured?"

"Indeed."

"So you put up notices all over the streets saying I'm a dog thief?"

Zhu Wuyao shook his head without changing his expression, and waved the notice in his hand, saying:

"Thanks to Brother Shen's intelligence, look how vividly he has drawn it. Brother Shen really understands you. This method is indeed effective. Of course, I also contributed to it."

She pointed to the words on the notice and said.

Ye Xiaozhou tossed a coin with some skepticism and said, "You go back first, I have something to do, I'll be there in a bit."

Zhu Wuyao nodded slightly.

It seems that as long as every word is told truthfully, Ye Xiaozhou won't be able to tell whether it's true or false.

Just as I was about to pass by, my shoulder sank.

She turned her head to look at Ye Xiaozhou, her eyes asking – Is something the matter?

Ye Xiaozhou raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, revealing a bright smile, as he "encouraged" him:

"You're quite interesting. I'll wait three months until you fail in your Qi cultivation, or... become my junior sister."

Both of these results sound very bad.

Ye Xiaozhou smiled and withdrew her hand, lightly touching the ground with her toes as she leaped up. At this moment, the bright moon was rising, and she was like a fairy maiden chasing the moon, her dress fluttering in the wind, her long hair dancing in the air, and white papers scattered all around her like swirling snowflakes.

Amidst this breathtaking scene, a voice rang out—"My beloved mother!"

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiaozhou transformed into countless figures, reaching out to all around her. Before the papers hit the ground, she gathered all the scattered notices into her bosom.

In the blink of an eye, everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.

Zhu Wuyao chuckled softly.

------

She returned to the inn, and before she even opened the door, she heard a commotion inside.

I stopped in my tracks. Inside, people were shouting, "Where's Master Wuyan?", "Quickly, look at the fire on my shoulder!", "Aren't you an immortal? Why aren't you catching the murderer!"

In the gaps, Shen Anzhi's voice could still be heard—

"Please calm down, please calm down, I will help you exorcise evil spirits tonight... Hmm, okay, okay... Please don't push, everyone please sit down... Miss, please don't touch me..."

Zhu Wuyao placed his hand on his forehead.

Shen Anzhi is truly a powerful yet kind-hearted little good-for-nothing.

She took two steps back, kicked open the inn door, and startled everyone into silence.

Shen Anzhi felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and he ran to her side, whispering in her ear:

"Miss Zhu, someone wants me to marry her, what should I do..."
