I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

three days later.

under night.

Qin Yao sat cross-legged in the east wing of the government office, cultivating as usual. Unexpectedly, he suddenly sensed the scent of osmanthus outside the government office. He opened his eyes and looked through the wall and door, only to see the other party kneeling on the ground holding a package and kowtowing three times.

"Lord Wu, Guihua can hardly repay your kindness in this lifetime. I wish to be a slave, a servant, or even a beast in the next life to repay this kindness."

After saying that, she reluctantly got up and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" Suddenly, a voice asked from behind him.

Guihua trembled and suddenly turned around, only to find that the door had been opened silently. Wu, the county magistrate, dressed in a blue robe and as handsome as an orchid tree, stood in front of the door, quietly looking at her.

"Sir, I..."

"What happened?" Qin Yao asked gently when he saw that the other person seemed hesitant to speak.

Guihua pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and said, "I want to go back to my hometown."

"Were you unhappy staying at the Lin family's house?" Qin Yao pressed.

Guihua waved her hands repeatedly: "No, I didn't. The Lin family has treated me very well. I just missed home."

"Tell the truth!" Qin Yao said solemnly.

Guihua paused slightly, then lowered her head and said, "Because Brother Hongyi treats me very well, it makes my sister-in-law a little sad; this evening, I heard my sister-in-law talking to my godmother about wanting to marry me off."

Qin Yao: "..."

This sister-in-law is exactly the same as the one in the original drama. She can't be called bad, but she's a bit petty and even ruthless!
"Alright, don't blame her. It's only human nature. From today onwards, you can stay at my office."

"Sir, will I be a burden to you?" Guihua asked hesitantly.

Qin Yao waved his hand: "What a burden. At most, there will be some gossip, but no one dares to say it to my face..."

He couldn't just let Guihua leave like that; otherwise, Mazu's Water Fairy Clan would be missing an excellent chief steward.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Lin Moniang rushed into the government office, intending to ask Magistrate Wu to help her find Guihua, but she happened to run into Guihua carrying a basin of water out of the west wing...

"Guihua, what's going on?"

"Sister, I'll be living in this government office from now on," Guihua said softly, forcing a smile.

Lin Moniang pursed her lips: "Is it because of my sister-in-law? Mother has already criticized her."

Guihua said soberly, "Precisely because I have been criticized, I cannot go back."

Sister, you mustn't let me cause trouble for the Lin family!
Moreover, Lord Wu has treated me very well. I'm content to stay here and do odd jobs, doing what I can.

Lin Moniang: "..."

"Lord Wu, Lord Wu."

Just as she was stunned, a series of shouts suddenly came.

The two sisters looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lu San approaching with a anxious expression. Upon seeing them, he hurriedly asked, "Mo Niang, Gui Hua, where is Lord Wu?"

"What's wrong?" Qin Yao stepped out of the east wing and asked in a deep voice.

Lu San replied, "Sir, all the boats that the villagers have docked in the harbor have been smashed!"

Qin Yao: "..."

Two sisters: “…”

Not long after.

The four of them hurriedly arrived at the port, only to find the estuary surrounded by fishermen, with all sorts of foul language swirling among them.

"Lord Wu has arrived."

Among the crowd, a sharp-eyed fisherman spotted the four of them and suddenly shouted.

The cursing stopped abruptly, and the fishermen quickly made way, revealing a scene of disarray involving fishing boats.

"Osmanthus, where did you go?"

Wang was the first to approach the four people, and pulled her newly adopted goddaughter aside to ask her a question.

"Mother, this is not the time to talk about this," Lin Moniang said softly, then asked the fishermen, "Does anyone know who did this?"

"It must be a monster!"

Lu Zigui said with a cold expression, "Besides those monsters, who could destroy so many ships in one night?"

"Please, Lord Wu, do us justice!" Suddenly, an old fisherman knelt down and kowtowed.

These words seemed to guide the others, and the fishermen on the scene knelt down and kowtowed, begging Qin Yao to exorcise the demon and uphold justice.

"I'll go take a look in the sea," Qin Yao replied softly, stepping towards the ocean.

“Lord Wu, I’ll go with you!” Lin Moniang stepped forward and said loudly.

Qin Yao thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Let's follow..."

Seeing the two men walk on the waves without relying on any tools, the fishermen, even though they were mentally prepared, couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Only Yang Sheng's complex expression was the most intricate; his soft sigh concealed the secrets of a young man.

On the sea.

Just as Qin Yao brought Lin Moniang to the sky above the Dragon Palace, they suddenly sensed a fragrant breeze carrying a calming power.

"It smells so good!" Lin Moniang said.

Qin Yao paused slightly, looked up, and a beautiful figure in a white dress, holding a jade bottle in her hand, immediately came into view.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva." Lin Moniang was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down on the sea: "This humble woman, Moniang, pays her respects to the Bodhisattva."

As she spoke, she tugged at Qin Yao's sleeve, reminding him to quickly bow.

Qin Yao showed no reaction to this, and even stared directly at the immortal giant who was famous throughout the heavens and myriad worlds: "Did the Bodhisattva come to see me, or to see Mo Niang?"

"I'm looking for you two." Guanyin smiled and said, "Mo Niang, get up."

"Thank you, Bodhisattva." Lin Moniang said solemnly and slowly stood up.

"Please enlighten me, Bodhisattva," Qin Yao said calmly.

Guanyin asked, "Magistrate Wu, how do you intend to handle this matter?"

Qin Yao said without hesitation, "Kill one to warn a hundred!"

Sensing the chilling killing intent emanating from him, Guanyin shook her head: "Those sea monsters were merely acting under orders; killing them would be far too harsh."

The person who issued this order is a pure direct descendant of the Dragon Clan. If you kill him, Ao Guang will surely ask the Dragon Ancestor Emperor to come out of seclusion. At that time, no one can protect you, and it will also implicate Mo Niang.

In other words, Yazi is not unkillable, but two conditions must be met: first, his crimes must be heinous and the evidence must be conclusive.

Secondly, Ao Guang is completely disappointed in him and will not use the Dragon Clan's last trump card for him.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Qin Yao paused slightly, then asked directly, "Does the Bodhisattva mean to just let it go like this?"

"of course not."

Guanyin turned to look at Lin Moniang and continued, "There is a Buddhist saying: 'The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore.'"

For those monsters who obey Yazi's orders and harm fishermen, the main approach should be to appease them and sincerely perform rituals to help them lay down their weapons and reform their ways.

"Mo Niang, this is your mission."

Lin Moniang nodded slightly: "Bodhisattva, Moniang understands." "Good." Guanyin smiled silently, and then said: "Go and appease the fishermen. I still have some things to say to Magistrate Wu."

"Your daughter obeys." Lin Moniang glanced at Qin Yao one last time, then quickly turned and left.

Qin Yao's heart stirred slightly. After confirming that Lin Moniang had already gone far away, he asked curiously, "What does the Bodhisattva want to talk to me about alone?"

“I have persuaded the Barefoot Immortal to leave, and he will not make things difficult for you in the future,” Guanyin said.

"I'm not afraid of him making things difficult for me." Qin Yao chuckled. "After all, he'll be the one who gets hurt in the end."

Guanyin smiled and said, "What if he gets the Queen Mother of the West to deal with you?"

Qin Yao's smile vanished: "Then he has a way to die."

Guanyin: "..."

After a moment of silence, she shook her head with a smile: "You are indeed decisive in your actions... Speaking of which, Magistrate Wu, are you a practitioner of both Buddhism and Taoism?"

"I guess so," Qin Yao nodded.

"If that's the case, would you like to join the Buddhist order?" Guanyin invited, "If you are willing, this humble monk can be your introducer."

Qin Yao chuckled to himself.

He never expected that Guanyin would actually consider recruiting him.

After a moment of contemplation and careful consideration, Qin Yao did not refuse outright, but said, "Let's discuss this matter after Mo Niang becomes the Sea Goddess and her position is secure."

"it is good."

Guanyin readily agreed, sincerely saying, "I can promise you that as long as you are willing to join the Buddhist realm, your starting point will be the Bodhisattva level."

"I can also promise that if I want to find a sect to settle down in, I will first consider Buddhism," Qin Yao said sincerely.

He did not want to contend with the three major powers of Heaven, Buddhism, and the Dragon Clan all by himself.

Being on good terms with Guanyin means you can fight the dragon clan alongside the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist realm, which will naturally make the task much less difficult...

In the blink of an eye.

half a month later.

On this day, the fishermen were unable to go out to sea because their fishing boats had been destroyed. However, Lin Moniang's bronze mirror suddenly emitted a golden light, a warning that disaster was about to strike.

Without the slightest hesitation or time to explain to her family, she immediately left her body, rushed out of the house, and flew swiftly over the sea.

Looking into the distance, she quickly spotted several official ships that were in dire straits under the siege of the sea monsters.

"You audacious sea monster, how dare you attack our official ship!"

Lin Moniang gave a soft shout, and her primordial spirit transformed into golden light, instantly appearing there. With a wave of her sleeve, she released a red ribbon that plunged into the sea, continuously striking away the monsters causing trouble on the seabed, gradually stabilizing the constantly rocking official ship.

"It's a fairy... Greetings, fairy."

On the ship, officials and soldiers alike knelt and kowtowed upon witnessing this scene. Only one official in a red robe and armor did not kneel, but he stared intently at Lin Moniang.

half an hour.

Lin Moniang used her magic to repel all the sea monsters and said to the red-robed officials, "You should hurry up and move forward. I will escort you out of this sea area."

"My name is Liu Caiyuan. May I ask how you should address me, Fairy?" the red-robed official asked, bowing respectfully.

"My name is Lin Moniang. Lord Liu, you can call me Moniang." Lin Moniang urged, "Let's go quickly, lest we attract an even more terrifying being."

Liu Caiyuan nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "All soldiers, listen to my command and advance at full speed."

"Yes, sir!" the officers and soldiers responded in unison.

“Fairy, since you are escorting us away, why don’t you come down and have a chat?” Liu Caiyuan said, looking up as the official ship set sail again.

Lin Moniang shook her head, about to speak, when she suddenly noticed many sea monsters rushing towards her from afar: "You should leave quickly, I'll go and lure the sea monsters away for you."

Before she finished speaking, she swept past the fleet and went to fight the siren alone.

Liu Caiyuan stared intently in the direction she left, his mind seemingly drifting away with her.

After a long time.

Lin Moniang single-handedly stopped hundreds of sea monsters, but in doing so, she also attracted a terrifying opponent...

"Ang~"

With a deafening roar, a golden dragon leaped out of the sea, baring its fangs and claws, and launched a fierce charge.

Lin Moniang's expression changed slightly, and she immediately released a golden ring to block in front of herself.

"boom!"

The golden dragon crashed directly into her, sending her flying thousands of meters away, her face turning deathly pale.

Even more terrifying, the dragon's tail then shot out like a boulder through the air, heading straight for Lin Moniang's primordial spirit, which had just regained its footing.

"boom!"

In the nick of time, countless golden rays of light spun around Lin Moniang's side and quickly coalesced into a figure. With just a raised hand, it forcefully blocked the ferocious dragon's tail.

The golden dragon suddenly retracted its tail, opened its mouth, and spat out a golden beam of light that shot straight at the two of them.

Qin Yao raised his head slightly and unleashed the Tathagata Palm. A golden palm print, defying the pillar of light, pierced through the air and struck the dragon's head heavily with a loud crack, sending it crashing into the seabed.

Lin Moniang stared wide-eyed at the scene in astonishment.

Her biggest question right now is: just how strong is Lord Wu?

In the sea, the disoriented golden dragon was lifted up by a group of sea monsters and fled swiftly towards the Dragon Palace.

Not only Lin Moniang witnessed this scene, but the sea monsters also saw how the second prince was slapped to the ground. Who would dare to play the hero at this moment?
In fact, if they weren't afraid of the second prince seeking revenge later, they would have scattered like birds and beasts long ago. They wouldn't have taken the second prince with them when they fled. After all, what if that killing god insisted on killing the second prince?
"Lord Wu, you have saved me once again."

Seeing that Magistrate Wu made no move to pursue, Lin Moniang said with a face full of gratitude.

Qin Yao waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Things have become more complicated."

"Is it even more troublesome?" Lin Moniang asked, puzzled.

“He’s petty and vindictive. I slapped him today, and he’ll definitely retaliate against the fishermen in the future,” Qin Yao replied.

Lin Moniang: "..."

"What should we do?" After a long silence, a look of anxiety gradually appeared on her face.

Although the fishermen's boats are not yet repaired, they can't just stay at sea, can they?
Qin Yao pondered and said, "Let's go. I'll teach you how to make amulets to ward off evil spirits. Once they're finished, you can distribute them to every household and tell them to hang them on their boats when they go out to sea to ward off sea monsters."

Lin Moniang followed him toward Meizhou Island, and suddenly asked, "Sir, why do you always give me the credit?"

She really couldn't understand this, since the other party had never shown any affection for her from beginning to end.

Qin Yao explained, "Because the fishermen need a sea god to protect them, these achievements are important steps for you to ascend to the position of sea god."

“But I think you are more suitable to be the sea goddess than I am,” Lin Moniang said from the bottom of her heart.

Qin Yao smiled and shook his head: "I'm not suitable. The position of Sea God is more of a shackle to me. To put it more bluntly, I'm used to being carefree and prefer a life without constraints."

Lin Moniang paused slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

A few days later.

Lin Moniang, who was already exceptionally talented, completely mastered the method of making talismans for warding off evil spirits, and personally delivered each talisman to every household, truly preventing problems before they occurred.

However, there are many troubles that even Qin Yao could not predict or prevent, such as severe drought...

In years of severe drought, great disasters are inevitable. Rice prices began to soar both inside and outside the city, sometimes rising three times a day, causing widespread lamentation.

Lin Moniang saw this and was anxious, but she was helpless. Therefore, she had no choice but to go to the government office again to ask Qin Yao for advice! (End of Chapter)
