Without staying in Senluo City any longer, Cui Zi and Akasha quickly flew to Kyushu.

Zouzi, who was left behind, stroked Yunmu in her arms, and a trace of melancholy flashed across her peaceful face.

Once upon a time, she was also a shrine maiden who traveled around the world, making many monsters tremble in fear.

With the establishment of cities and countries where humans and demons coexisted, she had less and less time to pick up her sword and bow in the stable environment.

Many things in the city that require fighting are handled by the law enforcement team composed of dog demons.

Zouzi's existence is more like a fair mirror, reflecting right and wrong, good and evil.

"Everything is moving in a good direction. I just need to do my best in the present."

Yunmu stuck out her tongue and licked her palm. Zouzi came back to her senses and gently touched the top of Yunmu's head.

Then a series of ding-dong sounds were heard behind her, and the little shrine maidens holding Kagura bells were walking towards her with serious looks.

Among the little witches there are humans, half-demons, and monsters.

Chapter 187 Magatama Currency System

"Letting Da Sikong lead the team, the chances of a war starting are not high."

The bright moon climbed up to the eaves, and the lights of thousands of houses in the royal city gradually lit up, just like a city that never sleeps.

Inside the residence of the Minister of the Imperial Household in the inner city, a beautiful lady with crow feathers in black clothes was leaning against the window.

The moonlight cast a layer of light on her porcelain-white skin, outlining her perfect profile.

The corners of her slightly raised eyes were tinged with a faint crimson hue, her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and her red lips were like roses stained with morning dew.

She looked at the bustling streets of the royal city in the night.

The hawkers' cries can be faintly heard, children chasing and playing with lanterns, and laughter from teahouses and taverns drifts in the wind.

A gust of night wind blew, ruffling her raven-feather-like, black and shiny hair.

Ru Ya glanced sideways at the man opposite her who was checking the recent work documents of the Minister of the Imperial Household.

The dark red eyes were filled with shimmering watery light, and were filled with resentment that seemed to want to be expressed but could not.

"Are documents more charming than the moonlight?"

These words lingered in the beauty's mind, but were not uttered from her lips.

Time passed with the rustling sound of turning pages. After learning about the intelligence network and population census work recently set up by the Taipuqing Post Station within Wang Tingyuanzhou, Dou Ya raised his eyes leisurely.

I looked at Ru Ya, who had picked up a pipe at some point and was puffing out a smoke outside the window, with a look of worry between his brows.

The wisps of green smoke lingered around her red lips, adding a bit of haziness to the moonlight.

"Nu Ya." Dou Ya called softly.

The crow-feathered beauty just glanced at him indifferently, and her displeased face seemed to say "If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out of here."

Knowing that he had indeed neglected the beauty's Douya recently, he just raised his hand.

Ru Ya only felt a tightness around his waist.

Before she could react, she fell into a warm embrace, and her slender waist was embraced by strong arms.

She looked up in surprise and met the man's deep gaze who was so close to her.

The warm breath brushed past my ears faintly, causing a slight shiver.

The jade-like neck covered by black hair was suddenly covered with a touch of red glow, like plum blossoms falling on the snow, extremely beautiful.

The man greedily sniffed the faint fragrance coming from Ru Ya's body and chuckled softly.

"After reading the paperwork all night, it's time to take a good look at my beauty."

"loquacious!"

Ru Ya struggled in shame and anger, "Who is your beauty? Let me go."

But the more the beauty struggled, the closer and tighter they got.

After a long time, Ru Ya, with his waist almost bent in half, lay on the sweat-soaked carpet, breathing in the air in big gulps, as if he had escaped death.

Dou Ya picked up the pipe that had been neglected for a long time, and in the flickering sparks he caught a glimpse of the new crimson finger marks on the beauty's waist.

He followed the lip marks on the cigarette holder and took a leisurely puff.

Then I realized that cigarettes were just like that, so I just put them aside.

After a while, Ru Ya came back to his senses.

She stood up and turned around to get angry at the man, asking him if he thought she was an actor in a brothel and was playing with her like that, when she heard the man say.

"When Lingyue gives birth to the child, you will also move to the castle tower."

Douya pulled the bewildered Ruya into his arms with a low voice.

"I must give you a legitimate status, and later, give birth to a child for me."

Ru Ya raised her lips slightly, then suppressed the smile, raised her eyes and glared at the man who always liked to take advantage of her and bully her to death.

The bad dog who ignored her for a period of time, wanted to say thousands of words of blame in his heart, but in the end, they turned into a low groan.

Seeing Ru Ya who agreed, Dou Ya, who had finished his business, started chatting casually.

"Thank you for your hard work, Minister of the Imperial Household, in establishing the post station system in Yuanzhou."

"of course!"

Ru Ya raised his head proudly and said, "Don't you see who I am doing this for?"

"Well, my beauty is the best."

Douya smiled and started to do something bad, but Ruya slapped him away, she said shyly.

"I'm tired."

"Eh……"

Listening to the man's sigh, the crow-feathered beauty bit her thin lips and took a few steps back with her cheeks clenched.

"Hiss...be gentle."

The bright moon outside the window was covered by white clouds. As Ru Ya's movements became more and more skillful, the only sound in the room could be heard from Dou Ya's joyful voice.

"The census was done very well. There are a few people with rare demonic attributes who need special attention."

There is still a long way to go to conduct a comprehensive survey of the extraordinary population. The Ministry of the Imperial Household's personnel are currently stationed in major cities and are still some distance away from reaching the towns and villages.

Continuing to conduct population censuses will surely bring more sweet fruits to Douya over time.

"Do you want to bring them here?" Ru Ya, with puffed cheeks, asked hesitantly.

The devouring and bestowing powers of the Lord of the Royal Court are known to everyone among the high-ranking officials.

Ru Ya was worried that Dou Ya would arbitrarily take other people's lives for power, so he was prepared to feed the demon with his own body.

"No."

Douya stroked Ruya's head and said something that surprised her.

"How can the power of my vast and boundless realm be so inconvenient?"

He smiled smugly, "As my power continues to surge and increase, even if I don't kill someone, I can still gain their fundamental abilities through things like their blood."

"Like now."

Suddenly, Ru Ya felt a numbness in his mouth and glared at Dou Ya who was making trouble. "Asshole, go play with yourself!"

"I was wrong!"

Under Dou Ya's persistence, Ru Ya quickly softened her attitude, and the man took the opportunity to carry her to the clouds again.

When I came to my senses, I found that I didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

That damn bad dog even made a water mirror.

Let her look at herself in the mirror, how charming and happy she is.

This allowed Ru Ya to discover a new world and start to get to know himself again.

Douya behind him continued.

"Worldly gold and silver are almost worthless to the royal court."

"In the future, the Royal Court will introduce magatama currency that can increase the power of extraordinary people. This will be one of the means for the Royal Court to control the extraordinary people in the world. There are two sources of magatama."

"The first is the distribution by the royal court. According to each person's labor, they are given magatama of equal value. Ordinary people can also gain power through diligence."

"The second type is contribution. If you can make contributions that have positive meaning to the royal court, you will be awarded magatama of equal value."

"In this way, extraordinary people who yearn for power, desire strength, and hope to stand out will gather under the king's court."

This system is very similar to the imperial examination system. It is no exaggeration to say that Dou Ya can say like Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty: All the heroes in the world are within my grasp.

Ru Ya, whose brain slowly regained its ability to think, tilted his head and asked lazily, "Aren't you afraid that someone will come and rob you?"

"Have you lost your mind?"

Douya pinched the tip of the beauty's nose with a smile until she glared at him in dissatisfaction.

He snorted, "How many lives do thieves have? How dare you come and steal my things!"

Ru Ya, whose mind was becoming increasingly clear, muttered and pressed the issue, "How are you going to solve the problem of the source of magatama? The demand for magatama in the future will be astronomical."

She said with concern and worry, "Don't rob Peter to pay Paul. It's a foolish thing that won't make up for the loss."

"They say pregnancy makes people stupid for three years, but my beauty hasn't gotten pregnant yet..."

Under Ru Ya's angry glare, Dou Ya laughed and changed the subject back on track.

"The source of magatama is not difficult to solve. I have improved the Ringing Cauldron so that it can absorb the power of heaven and earth or blood and transform it into pure magatama, just like printing books."

"As long as you create as many replicas of the Roaring Cauldron and place them in areas with abundant spiritual energy, you will have as many magatama as you want."

Ru Ya had a new confusion, "But the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not infinite. Wouldn't this be exhausting?"

"Don't worry, just like the air we breathe, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has its own cycle. I will take action when the time comes."

After Dou Ya dispelled Ru Ya's doubts, he continued, "As for the source of the blood...paying taxes is the obligation of every citizen."
