My lord, spare his life!

Wang Qi exclaimed in shock: "Superficial!"

Zhang Yang asked in confusion, "Why are you cursing yourself?"

"I'm criticizing that guy surnamed Guan for being superficial!"

Zhang Yang didn't understand, and Zhang Yang was shocked.

How did Easter Egg Bro get associated with the word "superficial"?

Zhang Yang: "I don't like what you're saying. How is that superficial? If people don't pursue beautiful things and people, are they going to just pick out ugly and deformed things to like? Everyone has a love of beauty. This can't be called superficial; it can only be called having normal aesthetic sense."

Wang Qi retorted dismissively, "What's so appealing about a mere shell of a woman? Even when she's dead, she'll still rot and stink, crawling with maggots inside and out. Besides, three-legged women are hard to find, but beautiful women are plentiful. Isn't he just being superficial?"

Zhang Yang was almost speechless.

"You seem to be the least qualified to say that."

As he spoke, Zhang Yang swiftly pulled out the Mountain Spirit skin and put it on.

Then, glancing at Wang Qi, whose muscles were stiff and whose eyes were unmoving, she said, "See, you're shallow too."

After saying that, she took off the mountain spirit's human skin. She moved so fast that Wang Qi's outstretched hand didn't even have time to touch her.

Wang Qi retorted indignantly, "How can they be the same?"

Zhang Yang looked at him expressionlessly, listening attentively.

Wang Qi explained, "I admit, your human skin is indeed outstanding, but a pretty face alone isn't enough. If you displease me, I'll still kill you on the spot. If an ant had a face like that, it would only disgust me. But you're different; you're extremely difficult to kill."

Because he was so difficult to kill, even a disdainful glance from the other party made his heart race. Zhang Yang's injury brought him excruciating pain, but also an indescribable sense of exhilaration; he could even hear the throbbing of blood inside his heart.

Even the soul will ascend to heaven!

It was precisely because she was so difficult to kill that the thought of leaving a fatal wound on her body in the future made his blood boil and his breathing quicken, as if he were being encouraged by endless inspiration.

Wang Qi did indeed like the Mountain Spirit's appearance, but his purpose in liking this appearance was to achieve self-elevation when he killed her!

In contrast, Guan Si is a shallow and reckless man who only cares about looks.

Zhang Yang corrected a mistake.

"It's not that I'm extremely difficult to kill, it's that I can't kill them."

Wang Qi said excitedly, "Can't kill him? Heh, that's fine too. It means that no matter what I do, he won't die easily. In all my life, I've never met anyone so tough and so fun to mess with. That makes it even more interesting."

Zhang Yang uttered a sentence after a long pause.

"Have you seen a psychologist?"

Is this what the observed samples meant by "yandere"?

She scrutinized Wild Man's face closely, looking at it from every angle, and found that he was full of "illness" but not a bit "delicate".

"I've killed quite a few doctors. Which one are you asking about?"

Which of these is called psychology?

"...You're also causing trouble at a medical facility?"

Wang Qi frowned: "What do you mean by medical disputes? They themselves lack medical ethics. They either poisoned me or tried to assassinate me. These unscrupulous quacks can be killed if they want. I'm not making a fuss."

Zhang Yang: "..."

The observation sample is correct; indeed, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames. The nickname "Wild Man Brother" is well-deserved.

She scrolled up the conversation log recorded by the system, forcefully steer the conversation back to the topic of Wang Qi's abduction: "I need you to do some things for me, not to help me get the car."

Wang Qi stared at Zhang Yang and sneered, "Tell me, who are you going to kill!"

Zhang Yang continued, "Help me bring rain."

"Rain? Who called for rain?"

Wang Qi never dreamed that this rainfall was not the same as the other rainfall. People were not looking for his combat power, but for his help in impersonating the Dragon King.

"Can't the mountain spirit pray for rain on its own?"

Wang Qi truly believed that Zhang Yang was a goddess of the mountains.

"My star doesn't belong to the Azure Dragon."

What's worse is that Zhang Yang didn't have a destined star at all.

Wang Qi then asked, "What's the purpose of the rainfall?"

"Of course, we want our crops to have water and a good harvest."

Wang Qi was puzzled: "Didn't the old man promise you he wouldn't change the course or dam the river? If that's the case, your water supply won't be cut off. There's no need for all that mystical rainmaking ritual. Or do you not trust the old man and think he'll go back on his word?"

Under normal circumstances, the mountain spirit's concern is not unreasonable.

"I don't like having my life in someone else's hands."

Besides the issue of rainfall, Zhang Yang is also working on repairing the reservoir. There is actually a reservoir in Tianyue County that has been abandoned for many years. The reason for its abandonment is simple: it was bombed by Tianjiang's troops many years ago, causing severe damage. Tianyue County is impoverished, and in those years, Dou Kingdom imposed exorbitant taxes and levies, severely depleting the livelihoods of the people. The county government is unwilling to impose further corvée labor.

Furthermore, the cost of buying water from Tianjiang is not high.

At least compared to repairing this reservoir, it's indeed not a big deal.

Zhang Yang: "It's always good to have backup plans."

Now that she's in charge, she has plenty of money, and a steady stream of supplies will be delivered to her in the future. These inanimate objects are just going to rot if left unattended; only by finding a way to circulate them within the county can Tianyue County truly be revitalized.

This is why projects are being launched in various places at a rapid pace.

What's wrong with adding another reservoir project that benefits the people?

With this reservoir, she can, to some extent, break free from the noose around her neck imposed by upstream forces, making it a win-win situation.

Wang Qi pondered for a moment.

"Mountain Spirit, I can agree if you want, but there are conditions."

"Require?"

"Put on the skin of a mountain demon and fight me!"

"The commotion is too great."

"Then let's set restrictions on each other's abilities and designate specific weapons."

Zhang Yang returned to the prefectural government office before dusk, rubbing her wrist with a frown. This action worried Du Guan, who assumed she had sprained her wrist. However, Zhang Yang said, "It's not a sprain, it's just that I whipped people too much, and the shock made my wrist numb."

Du Guan: "Recruit someone?"

Zhang Yang: "Tell everyone in the prefecture to stay away from the king."

When the game designers created this NPC, did they really not have any personal agendas? How could anyone enjoy being whipped? Zhang Yang could clearly feel that when Wang Qi was whipped, his aura was restrained yet filled with a sense of unrestrained pleasure, and the harder the whipping, the more pronounced this feeling became.

He suspects the game developers gave him their own XP.

His health bar was pulled to near the kill threshold three times, and he recovered each time. Next time I have the chance, I'll try to break his bones with a single whip.

Du Guan: "..."

"By the way, Wild Man agreed to work."

Du Guan's understanding of Wang Qi was limited to intelligence reports and brief encounters; he only knew that Wang Qi was arrogant and fickle, a bloodthirsty fiend. The next day, when they met at the agreed location, he was shocked to find several scabbed red marks on Wang Qi's wild and handsome face.

Some of the red marks were still connected to the neck and disappeared into the collar of the clothes.

These marks look like whip marks?

Seeing Du Guan staring at his injuries, Wang Qi suddenly broke into a pure, childlike smile: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Lord Du."

"What caused this injury?"

He savored the memory: "It was smoked by your master yesterday."

Du Guan: "..."

The other Azure Dragon soldiers who were cooperating with the rainfall response: "?"

"This... was it a bit too strong?"

"It's just a minor scratch. It doesn't hurt much; it's more pleasurable than painful." Wang Qi felt a sense of satisfaction at the thought of the ghost inside him being whipped and crying out for its mother. Although he could suppress the ghost, he had never made it so miserable.

The injury is indeed not serious.

Wang Qi's cultivation yesterday was even more enjoyable than usual, as if the whipping had revitalized his meridians. He ran his fingertips along the whip marks almost touching the corner of his mouth, feeling the subtle, tingling sensation on his skin, and wondered when the next opportunity would come.

Du Guan subconsciously looked at Wang Qi's personal guards not far away.

"Pleasure?"

The two guards kept their eyes straight ahead.

In their view, Du Guan's worries were completely unnecessary—if the young general were truly in a bad mood, he would have already torn the culprit to shreds. Despite the latter's disheveled appearance, based on their years of experience following the young general, they believed he was in a good mood.

"Anything that can't kill me brings me pleasure."

Du Guan: "..."

There really are perverts!

Of the Four Symbols, the Azure Dragon possesses the ability to summon clouds and rain, but it requires a high level of skill from the caster and is highly dependent on luck; it might not succeed even once in a hundred attempts. Therefore, neither Wang Qi nor anyone else held any hope for this rainmaking attempt.

Zhang Yang, however, was full of confidence.

Firstly, it's not a sunny day today; there are clouds.

Secondly, the cumulus clouds looked quite thick and weren't too high off the ground. To increase the success rate, Zhang Yang specifically asked the group to go to the highest peak nearby to bring down the clouds.

Xu Jin asked worriedly, "Is this really feasible?"

Du Fang shook his head: "I don't know."

He was second only to Wang Qi in strength among the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations team. He had only heard of this method of rainmaking, and was actually unsure of its effectiveness. Fortunately, there was nothing to lose even if it failed.

The biggest loss was only disappointing Lord Zhang.

Although the seven had never cooperated before, they were all martial artists belonging to the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations, so forming a formation was not difficult. Du Fang was worried that Wang Qi would back out, but to his surprise, Wang Qi cooperated obediently. Afterwards, they took their positions according to their respective constellations and formed hand seals.

Du Guan and the others cast surprised glances at Wang Qi.

It's no wonder they act this way.

Forming battle formations is a fundamental skill for soldiers in all four camps during large-scale warfare. Judging from Wang Qi's intelligence, this man prefers to charge into battle alone, disdaining and believing no one can coordinate with him. Only the weak band together; the strong fight alone.

Therefore, he most likely disdains learning these things.

Who would have thought that they not only knew how, but were also very skilled at it.

Du Guan's eyes flickered.

He thought to himself: [This young master Wang also has a secret.]

As the stellar energy within the seven individuals was guided outwards, it gradually coalesced into nebulae of varying sizes and shapes, some solid, some ethereal. These nebulae ranged in size from as small as an infant's fist to large enough to completely envelop the caster. Within these nebulae, tiny specks of starlight flickered.

Upon closer inspection, they were indeed the positions of the seven constellations.

The two stars of the Horn constellation resemble dragon horns, the four stars of the Neck constellation resemble dragon neck, the four stars of the Root constellation vaguely resemble dragon chest and claws, the four stars of the Room constellation appearing around the Du Room constellation also resemble dragon belly, followed by the three stars of the Heart constellation, the nine stars of the Tail constellation, and the last four stars of the Dragon Tail constellation.

As time went by, these dragon phantoms gradually floated above everyone's heads, attracting each other and transforming into complete dragon bodies.

The dragon's body was initially only three zhang in size.

In just a few breaths, it soared through the clouds and rose to a height of a hundred feet.

At this moment, the dragon's eyes opened.

It glanced down at Zhang Yang, who was giving it a thumbs-up, its whiskers swaying strangely twice. Zhang Yang knew that Wang Qi was now controlling the dragon shadow: "Press down a bit."

Then he turned to the others and said, "Load the cargo."

They hung bags of salt powder on the dragon.

Wang Longying Qi: "Who are you insulting?"

All that could be heard were the mysterious and enigmatic roars of dragons, causing the wild beasts near the mountain to tremble in fear. However, these dragon shadows were not real dragons; they only bullied ordinary wild animals. Star beasts like Zhang Dami not only did not submit but were instead provoked.

Its fur bristled, and it growled at the dragon shadow, instinctively unleashing its power to fight back, only to be whipped by the dragon's tail.

Zhang Yang couldn't understand, he just kept loading the goods.

Wang Longying Qi: "..."

Watching the dragon's shadow soar into the sky, Zhang Yang worried, "I don't know if we have enough materials. If this doesn't work, we'll have to prepare for the next one. We need to find a way to ensure stable rainfall."

"I've never heard of using these things to summon clouds and rain."

"Yuan Yi, you must believe in science."

Without science, this cyber creature wouldn't even exist.

They all wisely refrained from asking who science was.

Wang Qi went to work, and the others didn't have much to do.

Zhang Yang's attention was quickly drawn to the totems above the heads of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations. Wang Qi had a leopard riding on a gentle breeze above his head, while Du Fang had a fluffy white rabbit that looked quite plump. The totems above the heads of the other five, being too weak, were not as solid and clear as the former two; they included dragons, jiaos, foxes, tigers, and a short, stout raccoon.

She curiously reached out and poked it with her finger.

I thought it would pass through the animal's body.

Unexpectedly, the little animal rolled several times on its owner's head after being poked, and when it got up again, its face showed confusion.

"Oh, how cute."

Zhang Yang wants it, and Zhang Yang must get it!
