Hell Emperor.

Chapter 547 Ye Jie - Gong Cao
After much difficulty, he persuaded the Gongcao on duty to go find two more Gongcao's books. Ye Jie also looked at the two books in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Including the trip back and forth, it took the year officer at most two hours to get the two books. But in the memory of the time officer, it was not two hours, but two years. Could it be..."

Ye Jie's heart trembled, and he vaguely guessed the true use of the Gongcao document. He then took out the stitched page and pointed it at Li Fei'e beside him. A row of words soon appeared on it.

[Book of Life and Death Archives:]

[Name: Li Fei'e]

[In the winter of the 625th year of the Moro calendar, he was born in a prominent family, with a companion spirit butterfly.]

[In the spring of the 630th year of the Mahārā calendar, he prevented his father from cutting down trees and cried loudly at night, disturbing the people. He was deducted five Yin virtues.]

[In the autumn of the 630th year of the Mara calendar, he saved a wounded sparrow and gained ten merits.]

[In the autumn of the 631st year of the Moro calendar, he worshipped Shen Qingge as his master and became the successor of Xuannv.]

[In the winter of the 631st year of the Moro calendar, missing his loved ones, he secretly went down the mountain and was punished by his master, earning 20 Yin De.]

[In the summer of the 632nd year of the Mahārā calendar, I tried fasting for the first time, but gave up after five days. I broke into a house at the foot of a mountain at night and stole two eggs, which deducted 20 Yin De from my merits.]

【………】

"Found it." After some browsing, Ye Jie also found the information he needed.

"What are you doing?"

Li Fei'e puffed up her lips. Seeing Ye Jie looking at her file again, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and angry. She said angrily, "If you want to know about my past, just ask me directly. Why do you have to peek at other people's files?"

Ye Jie hurriedly clarified the misunderstanding: "I didn't mean to peek at your file. I was trying to find out how to use the Gongcao Wenbu. I needed to find information related to the time in the file, and now I have found it."

Li Fei'e put her hands on her hips, not believing it at all: "If that's the case, why don't you look at your own file? You clearly want to peek!"

Ye Jie stroked his forehead: "Haven't you heard that those who are involved are often confused? If I try using my own files, I may not even know that I modified the files in the end..."

Recalling the look of the Gongcao on duty, Ye Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath. Even though he was one of the Gongcao, he seemed unaware of the Gongcao's methods on duty.

After Ye Jie's repeated explanations, Li Fei'e finally calmed down and agreed, "Okay, how do you want to try it?"

Ye Jie did not answer, but took out the duty books and the hourly books. As the two books touched the eight stitched pages, a string of words soon appeared on the stitched pages.

[Using the power of the duty and time books, modify Li Fei'e's life file and change "five days" to "five times", which requires three million Yin De. ]

"It really works! And it only requires three million Yin De..."

After looking at the records on the stitched page and verifying his guess, Ye Jie couldn't help but show joy on his face.

"Now I understand how the Yearly Officer did it. He changed two hours into two years and even rewrote the memory of the Time Officer... It seems that the power held by the Four-Duty Officers is indeed extraordinary. I wonder what abilities I will gain after I successfully change my job..."

Li Fei'e leaned over, somewhat puzzled: "What file are you editing? Five o'clock? What does that mean?"

Ye Jie pointed and said, "Did you see that? That's the file of your first Bigu fast. With these two books, I can change all the files that use days as units to hours."

Li Fei'e curled his lips and said, "You mean, change five days to five hours? Who can only fast for five hours? Do you think it's just a meal? At least change it to something bigger, right?"

Ye Jie was quite helpless, and turned to look at her: "Let's talk about you, aren't you the descendant of Xuannv? As long as you tell me your name, the mortals in the land of Xuannv will definitely take out the most precious delicacies to treat you, why do you want to steal from them..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Fei'e quickly reached out and covered Ye Jie's mouth, so that he could only make a mumbling sound. She carefully raised her head and made sure that her disciple Yunxiu in the distance had not heard it. Then she blushed and said:

"As for the descendants of Xuannv, can that be called stealing? I clearly borrowed it from them. Besides, it's not like I didn't compensate them. A few months later, I clearly put a spiritual stone back into the chicken coop. When the family found the spiritual stone, they were so happy."

Ye Jie raised his eyebrows, and indeed saw the relevant records on the stitching page:

[In the autumn of the 632nd year of the Moro calendar, he studied diligently and was rewarded by his teacher. He felt guilty and returned to the family he had stolen from before. He compensated them with a spiritual stone and received 20 Yin De.]

Ye Jie couldn't help but nod, but he still had doubts in his heart: "But... why did you do this? Is there nothing to eat in the Xuannv Sect?"

When Ye Jie asked this, Li Fei'e pursed his lips and said, "It's because I don't want to disappoint my master. We clearly agreed to fast for three months, but it's only been five days and you're already too hungry to bear it. If this gets out, I'm afraid it will bring shame to the descendants of Xuan Nu."

"I see……"

Li Fei'e glared at Ye Jie, her eyes showing a hint of shyness that was barely perceptible: "Really? I told you not to look at my files casually..."

Ye Jie smiled and said, "Didn't you tell me to ask you directly? What happened this time?"

As he spoke, Ye Jie also pointed to the first item at the beginning of the file: "When you were little, why did you stop your father from chopping down trees? Or have you been so naughty since you were little?"

Li Fei'e's cheeks were burning. She had clearly planned to maintain her dignified and pure temperament in front of Ye Jie, but she did not expect that with the disclosure of the files, all her embarrassing experiences since childhood were exposed to Ye Jie. How could she maintain her composure? She said unhappily:
"That's the tree I've loved since I was a kid, isn't that okay?"

Ye Jie pondered: "Is that tree... a ginkgo tree?"

Li Fei'e was stunned: "Huh? I don't think I told you? How did you know?"

"I guessed." Ye Jie replied, "I remember you once said that your father planted a ginkgo tree outside the yard, and you should have been named Ginkgo. If it weren't for Youdie's interference, you wouldn't have been named this."

"You still remember..."

Li Fei'e lowered her head, her bright eyes flashing with deep emotion. She had only mentioned it to Ye Jie once, but she didn't expect that Ye Jie had always kept it in his heart and never forgot it.

Li Fei'e secretly raised his eyes, and their gazes met. Except for the thundering sound of thunderclouds passing through, everything between heaven and earth became quiet.

The fairy clouds flying in from afar broke the tranquility between the two people, and also made Li Fei'e secretly annoyed. He couldn't help but want to teach the intruder a lesson: "Who on earth is it that can't read people's expressions and disturb me at this time!"

Ye Jie also looked over, with a concerned look in his eyes: "It's the on-duty official, he's back." The speed of the on-duty official was faster than Ye Jie expected, and was not much different from the on-duty official. It seemed that these officials all came and went in a hurry.

"Judging from your appearance, you must have gained something. How about it? Did you bring back the other two books?" Ye Jie rubbed his hands and asked him.

"Of course! I'll go and argue with the Yearly Officer, and I'll also ask the Monthly Officer to judge the case. They definitely won't think that I'm actually going to take their documents away. By the time they figure it out, I'm afraid a year will have passed in the human world."

The official on duty looked confident of victory, so he took the other two books with ease, and said smugly: "The two books you asked for are here. As the Lishi Immortal Official, you are the most capable of ensuring a fair transaction. You won't go back on your word, right?"

"Of course not." Ye Jie smiled, then took out a notebook and handed it to the officer on duty. He also took the two notebooks in his hand and checked them carefully. One of them was for the month and the other was for the year, which were exactly what Ye Jie needed at the moment.

Ye Jie was about to leave with Li Fei'e on the thunder, but the voice of the on-duty officer came from behind:
"Wait a minute! This isn't my notebook at all!"

Ye Jie raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not yours? What does this mean?"

The duty officer stamped his feet in anger and said, "What I want is the duty book, but what you gave me is clearly the daily duty book, which belongs to the duty officer! The duty officer is the strongest among us, but what use is there for me to have the duty book? Give me the duty book now!"

Ye Jie was surprised. "What you need is the duty notebook, right? This is different from the deal we agreed on. Unfortunately, once the deal is done, there is no room for regret. Just accept this notebook."

The Gongcao's face turned purple as he recalled what Ye Jie had said before. He had indeed only said that he would use two Gongcao books to exchange for the one in his hand, but he did not say which one.

Who would have thought that now that the deal was done, what the official got in return was not his own document at all. He was really tricked.

"I've heard that the Immortal Officer of Profits likes to do some tricks to benefit himself in transactions. I didn't expect that he would plot against me now! What do you want?"

Ye Jie replied calmly: "Have you forgotten the previous deal? If you want to exchange the book in my hand, you must bring two more books."

The duty officer was a little dumbfounded: "Two more? Are you kidding? The duty notebooks for the hour, month, and year are all in your hands. Where can I find two more notebooks for you?"

Ye Jie had expected this: "Well, I will lend you the duty book first, and you can use the two books in your hand to exchange the duty book, and then return the book I lent you to me. In this way, the deal is done."

The officer on duty felt something was not right the more he listened. After all this, he got nothing and even lost a notebook. This made him say he would not do anything, and he said angrily:

"As a profit-making immortal official, you should ensure fair transactions. Is this the only way you can do this?"

Ye Jie imitated the God of Wealth he saw that day and said, "How can you be called the God of Wealth if you don't fall into the eyes of money? Since you are willing to trade, I will help you."

As he spoke, Ye Jie also winked at Li Fei'e who was standing beside him.

Li Fei'e understood immediately. The tacit understanding between the two did not need much words. With just a glance, they could understand each other's thoughts. Then he raised his hand and made a gesture. The Gengjin thunder struck down, not giving even a chance to breathe, and hit the on-duty official directly.

When the smoke and dust gradually cleared, the full scene of the scene was revealed. The official on duty was lying on the ground with his body charred black. The power of thunder was intentionally controlled by the person who triggered it, and only paralyzed his body, making him unable to move, but his life was not harmed. It was a blessing in disguise.

Ye Jie walked over slowly and picked up the duty book from beside him who was unable to move. "This transaction is between you and me. With my Li Shi Xianguan as a witness, I think there won't be any problem at all."

After saying that, he stepped over the fallen officer on duty and asked Li Fei'e to ride on the thunder. His figure soon disappeared completely.

The officer on duty who stayed at the original place could only watch Ye Jie getting farther and farther away, but he couldn't move his body and his teeth were about to break.

After an unknown amount of time, another group of red fairy clouds came over. The person who came over had a golden crow on his waist and a sundial in his hand. He looked alert and quickly came to the side of the duty officer to help him release the thunder power that paralyzed his body. Before he could open his mouth, he heard the duty officer roar:

"Li Shi Xianguan, I cannot coexist with you!"

The roar echoed throughout the sky. The Immortal Official of Profit in Jubao City had no idea what was going on. If he knew, he would definitely cry out that it was injustice.

At the same time, Ye Jie, who was riding on thunder, couldn't help laughing as he looked at the four books in his hand.

Originally thought that in order to collect all the documents, it would take a lot of hard work and even cost a huge price, but unexpectedly, when several Gongcao heard the title of Li Shi Xianguan, even the last trace of vigilance in their hearts was completely dispelled, which undoubtedly saved Ye Jie a lot of trouble.

Having these four books in hand also means that the prerequisites for promotion have been met. Ye Jie's rank, which has not changed for a long time, can finally be improved once again by modifying the files!
As Ye Jie's mind moved, new lines of ink appeared on the stitched pages.

[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the spring of the 640th year of the Moro calendar, Ye Jie spent four Gongcao documents to modify the rank files]

[The early stage of the fourth-turn lucky immortal official has been changed to the middle stage of the fourth-turn four-valued official. 】

【………】

"what is that?"

At this moment, Li Fei'e's exclamation interrupted Ye Jie's attention. Ye Jie raised his head and his expression changed slightly.

But behind the two of them, a ball of scarlet fairy cloud was chasing them closely, like a comet transformed from a raging fire, rushing straight towards them, rolling up layers of heat currents, and even the clouds along the way were burning.

Above the fairy cloud, an immortal official had a furious look on his face. He had a golden crow pendant on his waist and a sundial in his hand, his eyes fixed on Ye Jie.

"Li Shi Xianguan, you cheated the Gong Caos of their documents, and now you want to walk away? Hurry up and leave the documents behind!"

The roaring sound and the condensed pressure of the Yang Fire made Ye Jie slightly alert: "That aura... is the duty officer! I heard from the duty officer before that the duty officer's strength is the strongest among them. I didn't expect that he would catch up with us now."

"What are you afraid of? What if he's on duty? Let me see how powerful he is!"

Li Fei'e was not afraid at all. Five thousand years of hard practice had given her the confidence. As she activated her immortal energy, endless thunderclouds occupied the sky within a hundred miles and began to condense destructive power from them.

The only response to Li Fei'e was the cold words of the duty officer:
"A trifle! The Wheel of the Sun!"

As the duty officer finished his words, a heart-pounding sense of crisis spread in Ye Jie's heart.
