I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"trade?"

General Turtle's eyes flickered, and he cupped his hands, saying, "This humble general does not understand the Second Prince's meaning. Please enlighten me, Second Prince."

In the corner, Qin Yao, who was hiding in the shadows, summoned a conch shell with a flick of his hand and used magic to record the sounds in the area.

Based on his precognitive abilities regarding the plot, he knew that General Turtle would not betray Bi'an. Therefore, his act of recording was not to record the contents of the transaction, but to record Ya Zi's words about wanting to harm his brother!
“You will help me compete for the position of Dragon King of the East Sea. Once it is successful, I will appoint you as the Prime Minister of the East Sea. From then on, the two of us will share the power of the East Sea,” Ya Zi said.

General Turtle's expression changed drastically, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, the position of Dragon King of the East Sea can only be passed down from the current Dragon King. If the Dragon King doesn't give it up, no one can take it."

Ya Zi said, "I never said I wanted to usurp the throne, nor would I dare to have such a rebellious thought. When I said I would help me compete, I meant I hoped you would help me stand out from the nine princes and gradually become the best successor in my father's heart."

"I'm sorry, Second Prince, I'm timid and dare not participate in the struggle for the throne among the nine princes," General Turtle said meekly.

Ya Zi frowned slightly: "Are you sure you won't help Bi'an?"

"Second Prince, I'll say it again: the next ruler of the East Sea Dragon Palace can only be decided by the current Dragon King."

General Turtle did not answer directly, but instead emphasized his attitude again, and then bowed and said, "In addition, I have official duties to attend to, so I will take my leave first. I hope the prince will forgive me."

After saying that, he didn't wait for the other party's response and turned to walk out of the Coral Palace without hesitation.

Inside the palace, on the throne, Yazi stared at his back with a gloomy gaze, his fists gradually clenching.

At this moment, a large clam beside the throne shone brightly and quickly transformed into a bewitching clam queen, who looked towards the doorway and said, "You don't know what's good for you."

Ya Zi said, "He's just relying on his profound magical power."

Consort Bang turned and came to the throne, leaning weakly into Ya Zi's arms, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am willing to investigate the old tortoise's weaknesses. Once we find out his weaknesses, it will be easier to deal with him."

"No need, it's too much trouble," Ya Zi said coldly, reaching out to stroke the other person.

The clam princess let out a soft moan: "What does the prince mean?"

Ya Zi's eyes flashed with cold light: "Those who obey me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish. Whoever blocks my path, I will kill."

"What if the other party is a Bi'an?" Bangfei murmured.

“Bi’an wouldn’t be surprised either.” Ya Zi reached into the other’s clothes and said indifferently, “As the saying goes, no man is without poison, the victor is king and the loser is villain. I never talk about brotherhood!”

Before long, watching the two of them entangled like dry tinder, Qin Yao silently put away the conch shell and quietly left.

"Prince, ginseng tea."

A corner of the Dragon Palace, in the courtyard.

A mermaid carrying a teacup approached the fourth prince, who wore a golden crown and a golden robe, and bowed to serve him tea with flirtatious eyes.

"Put it on the table." Inside the pavilion, Bi'an was engrossed in his book, not even raising his head, making the beauty think he was giving a flirtatious look to a blind man.

"Whoosh."

Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed toward the pavilion at an extremely fast speed and smashed straight toward the face of the Bi'an.

"Snapped."

The Bixie's instincts moved faster than its thoughts. It subconsciously raised its hand to grab the incoming object, and upon closer inspection, a conch shell shimmering with a faint spiritual light came into view...

"Who?"

The mermaid suddenly turned around, looked around, but couldn't find anyone.

"Don't bother looking. If you could find it, the other party wouldn't have thrown it to me from afar," said Bi'an.

The mermaid silently withdrew her gaze and looked at the conch shell: "This item may be risky. Please allow me to examine it for you."

Bi'an thought about it and felt that what the other party said made some sense, so he handed the conch shell to the other party: "Be careful, I will protect you."

The mermaid reached out and took the conch shell, silently infusing it with magic. The voice of the second prince, Ya Zi, immediately rang out from within…

Lean less.

When there was no more sound from inside the conch shell, the mermaid's face was filled with horror. Opposite her, Bi'an had a cold and stern expression.

"Fourth...Fourth Prince, could this be a fake?"

"Go and find General Turtle for me. Whether it's true or not, we'll know soon enough by asking him," Bi'an said, letting out a sigh of relief as he stood up.

Outside the courtyard, Qin Yao, still remaining invisible, smiled slightly and turned to leave.

With this "change," the fourth brother should no longer be as careless as he was in the original story, right?
However, he didn't have time to stay and observe the consequences, as he still had to "change" something to prevent the tragedy from repeating itself...

“Mo Niang”.

Evening, Meizhou Island, in front of the Lin family's house.

Lin Moniang, who was pondering the technique of astral projection, suddenly heard a shout. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw Magistrate Wu standing alone in a black robe. A smile appeared on her face: "Lord Wu."

Qin Yao nodded and beckoned, "Come here for a moment."

Lin Moniang jogged up to the other person, raised her head, and asked, "Did you need something?"

Qin Yao said seriously, "If the villagers come to ask you tomorrow if you can go out to sea, no matter what the weather forecast is, tell them that you do not recommend going out to sea."

Lin Moniang's heart stirred slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Qin Yao said, "I have received reliable information that a small-scale internal strife will occur within the East Sea Dragon Palace in the near future."

This is nothing to the Dragon Palace, but it is a catastrophe for the fishermen.

The key point is that no one knows when this internal strife will break out, so you'd better not go to sea.

Otherwise, if the fishermen encounter a shipwreck, you will become the target of public criticism.

He wasn't exaggerating; he was simply stating the outcome without his intervention.

In the original drama, Ya Zi's hunt for the Turtle General caused turbulent waves on the sea, but Lin Mo Niang could not have foreseen such an accident.

The end result was that after the fishermen went out to sea, the eldest brother of the Lin family and many villagers died in the shipwreck. Most of the victims' families even blamed Lin Moniang, believing that she had miscalculated and caused the disaster.

At that time, Lin Moniang, who was condemned by everyone, could only hide behind her father, while Old Lin was also filled with grief.

After all, he personally witnessed his eldest son die before his eyes...

The next day.

As usual, a group of eager fishermen spontaneously gathered in front of the Lin family's house. Upon seeing Lin Moniang open the door, they immediately asked impatiently, "Moniang, can we go out to sea today?"

Lin Moniang took a deep breath, looked into the pairs of eyes at the door, and said frankly:
"Fellow villagers, let me tell you the truth. Recently, the aquatic creatures of the East Sea have been very unsettled. I can predict the celestial phenomena, but I cannot predict the man-made disasters."

Therefore, when you ask me, all I can tell you is that it's not advisable to go out to sea recently, and I don't know when the problems among aquarium dwellers will be resolved.

Everyone: "..."

This answer... does it mean they're going to sea or not?

"I trust Mo Niang, so I won't go to sea."

Yang Shengquan's father, Yang Dawang, spoke loudly from the crowd.

“Me too. Anyway, we still have food stored at home, so there’s no rush. We’ll wait until we’re completely safe,” someone immediately chimed in.

Hearing these words, Lin Moniang was deeply moved: "Thank you all for your trust. If there is any new information, I will definitely inform you in time..." In the blink of an eye.

More than half a month has passed.

The fishermen of Meizhou Island eagerly awaited news of Mo Niang every day, but the news was slow to arrive.

Fishermen with grain at home were in a better position, but those who exchanged their grain for other things or sold it off were struggling. They would run to the Lin family's house eight times a day, hoping to get some definite news.

Lin Moniang was also helpless.

What is she supposed to do about this man-made disaster?

She can even predict when people will fight.
To avoid peace and quiet, she dared not stay at home during the day. She either went to the government office to see Magistrate Wu or to find the Immortal in the Well. There was no other way.

However, while she could hide, her family couldn't. The Lin couple, the eldest son and his wife, were all exhausted both physically and mentally, and the atmosphere at home became increasingly oppressive...

Lin Moniang disliked this oppressive atmosphere, so when she met Qin Yao, she couldn't help but say, "County Magistrate Wu, I have a feeling that I've done something wrong."

Qin Yao shook his head: "No, you didn't do anything wrong. The Immortal in the Well taught you to be kind and to use your magic to protect the fishermen."

What I want to teach you is that the kinder a person is, the more they should protect themselves first.

Otherwise, if something happens to you, who will be there to read the weather and predict the sky for those fishermen in the future?

Lin Moniang paused slightly: "But I'm feeling very distressed right now, and I don't know what to do."

Qin Yao suggested, "I think you could learn medicine while you're learning immortal arts; that way, if someone is in distress at sea, you can do your part if you know medicine."

Lin Moniang blinked, the gloom in her heart gradually dissipating: "That makes sense, I'll go find the great immortal right now~"

Seeing her arrive dejected but leave elated, Qin Yao murmured, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon..."

The main purpose of suggesting that Lin Moniang learn medicine was naturally to find a way to accumulate more merit for her.

In this world, there are three essential elements for becoming a god: merit, incense offerings, and background.

The weight of the three is also arranged in this order: merit is the foundation, incense offerings are the stepping stone to advancement, and background is the most important support.

To put it bluntly, once Lin Moniang has accumulated enough merit and has received a large amount of incense offerings, the Barefoot Immortal and Guanyin Bodhisattva will definitely exert their power to push her to the position of Sea God.

At that time, establishing the Water Fairy Class to ensure maritime safety will become a natural thing.

In front of the well.

Upon hearing Lin Moniang say that she wanted to study medicine, the Barefoot Immortal's face showed a hint of surprise: "You haven't even mastered your immortal arts yet, why do you want to be distracted by studying medicine?"

Lin Moniang said, "Learning immortal arts is not something that can be accomplished in a day. If I can master a medical skill, I can help those who are shipwrecked in the future."

The Barefoot Immortal was silent for a moment, then said, "Mo Niang, tell me honestly, is this your own idea, or has someone instilled this concept in you?"

Lin Moniang was slightly taken aback, her face showing confusion: "Does this matter?"

“Very important,” said the Barefoot Immortal.

Lin Moniang pursed her lips and replied, "It was Magistrate Wu who suggested that I do this."

Barefoot Immortal's lips twitched: "Didn't I tell you to contact him as little as possible? It won't do you any good."

Lin Moniang didn't refute last time, but this time she finally couldn't hold back: "Great Immortal, I think you have a prejudice against Magistrate Wu."

The Barefoot Immortal said, "It's not that I'm prejudiced against him, but that he will lead you astray."

Mo Niang, you must understand that a person's energy is limited. If you are distracted by studying medicine, it will inevitably affect your cultivation.

"Compared to the people you can save by studying medicine, you can do so much more after cultivating immortality. He's inciting you to put the cart before the horse..."

"Great Immortal!"

Lin Moniang couldn't listen any longer and suddenly interrupted: "I don't think studying medicine will affect my cultivation of immortality."

Looking at the determined girl, the Barefoot Immortal felt incredibly conflicted: "Was it his idea to ban fishermen from going out to sea recently?"

"Yes." Lin Moniang nodded.

The Barefoot Immortal said, "Fishermen make a living by fishing. Encountering natural disasters or man-made calamities during the fishing process is their fate and a price they must pay. If they are afraid of danger and don't go out to sea, how can they be fishermen?"

Lin Moniang said, "So, you want me to encourage them to go to sea, even if it's dangerous?"

"What I want to tell you is that every gain comes at a price. It's enough that you can see the signs of the sky and the weather for them. Man-made disasters... are beyond your control."

Lin Moniang said, "If I encourage them to go to sea, what if they suffer a shipwreck?"

"Are you afraid of being condemned by everyone?" the Barefoot Immortal asked sharply.

"I just think this kind of thing is unnecessary," Lin Moniang said.

The barefoot immortal's pupils contracted slightly.

He suddenly had a feeling that his daughter had been led astray, even though the other person was not his child!
"Fine, fine, fine, do whatever you want, but I won't teach you medicine." After a long while, he waved his hand listlessly.

After much hesitation, Lin Moniang ultimately decided not to give up on learning medicine...

A few days later.

At the Lin family home.

Lin Moniang was reading a medical book alone by the window when a voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Moniang, the infighting in the sea has begun. Would you like to go and see?"

Upon recognizing the voice, Lin Moniang jumped up, put down her medical book, and ran outside.

"Mo Niang, where are you going?" asked the woman sitting in front of a large basin washing clothes in the courtyard.

"I'm going to the government office," Lin Moniang replied loudly, and then disappeared.

Sister-in-law: "..."

half an hour.

Qin Yao led Lin Moniang to the beach and handed her a peach charm: "Take this."

"What is this?" Lin Moniang took the peach charm with both hands, her face full of curiosity.

"It's an invisibility and concealment talisman that I made myself."

Qin Yao said with a smile, "As long as you activate this talisman with your magic power, then unless the other party's cultivation is above mine, they will not be able to see you or sense your aura."

"How miraculous!" Lin Moniang exclaimed in astonishment, silently channeling a wisp of magic power into herself. Her body vanished from the spot. "Lord Wu, can you still see me?"

Qin Yao chuckled: "I made the peach charm, how could I not see you?"

With that, he grabbed her wrist and lifted her into the air: "Let's go, or we'll miss it..."

In the sea.

desert island.

General Turtle's gaze swept over the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals surrounding him, finally fixing on Ya Zi, who stood in the middle: "Second Prince, do you understand the consequences of your actions?!" (End of Chapter)
