After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

At this point in time, I was 28, a 28-year-old boy.

Isn't this age a bit exaggerated?

"OK OK."

Zhou Yan said helplessly.

"Brother Wang, the people you mentioned are a bit far from me, so let's forget about it."

My colleague turned around and started shoveling food into his mouth. Of course, being a modern person, he didn't forget to take out his phone and swipe around a few times while doing so.

Zhou Yan also walked to the side, found a clean rock to sit on, and took out his phone to familiarize himself with this world.

However, not long after he opened it, Zhou Yan's WeChat rang. He opened it and saw that it was a WeChat ID sent by his colleague, Brother Wang, who reminded him to add it.

Zhou Yan turned his head to look at the van, where Brother Wang gave a thumbs up and said something.

"What are you waiting for? Add it!"

Zhou Yan frowned and added the WeChat account.

The moment I added him, a message came through.

Sunny Fox: Zhou Yan?

Zhou Yan: Hmm? Who are you?

Sunny Fox: Leng Qing.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Sunny Fox: I know about your situation. You want to go on a blind date with me, right?

Zhou Yan was a little unsure of what to say. Before Zhou Yan could reply, Leng Qing continued to send messages.

Sunny Fox: I've heard about you from Brother Wang. I also checked your information at the company. Your background is clean, and you're a very ambitious person. Although your position is low, it's acceptable.

Sunny Fox: If you think I'm a good match, come find me when you get back to the company. Let's talk. If our values ​​align, let's get married.

Zhou Yan was startled.

Zhou Yan: Getting married!?

Sunny Fox: Yes, let's get married, but there's a condition. You need to sign a contract with me before we get married, stipulating that you won't be allowed to claim any of my property in a divorce. Also, don't use my position or status to profit for you. We'll sleep in separate rooms after we get married.

Zhou Yan: This isn't a marriage, it's just to appease your parents, isn't it?

Jiuqingtian Fox: What else? Don't worry, you'll benefit too. I'll give you a sum of money every month as a salary. If you make any mistakes at the company in the future, I can also cover for you appropriately.

Zhou Yan laughed.

Zhou Yan thought of a joke: someone asked, "If you marry a wife who won't let you touch her or interfere with her life, and she gives you 8 yuan every month, and you both live separate lives, would you be willing?"

The top-rated comment was "I'd even let her keep watch."

Leng Qing's current intention is to have Zhou Yan act as her lookout.

But thinking about it, Leng Qing was also pitiful. Zhou Yan had just heard from his colleague that Leng Qing was still a virgin and hadn't found anyone she liked after several blind dates.

It's not a big deal if you don't like someone after a few blind dates, but how did your colleague find out that you went on your first date with a colleague?

If nothing unexpected happens, it was Leng Qing's parents who spread the word.

My colleague said that in his community, some parents went around saying that their daughters couldn't get married, and then the daughters committed suicide.

Leng Qing is in a similar situation now, and her parents must be so disappointed that they are looking for help everywhere.

However, compared to that homebody, Leng Qing has more leeway and is even planning to find a substitute.

Then Zhou Yan was honored to have the qualifications to be a stand-in candidate.

Zhou Yan: I'm sorry, I already have someone I like.

Sunny Fox: Did I say that I would interfere with your private life after we got married?

Zhou Yan: ...

Sunny Fox: You can use the salary I give you to pursue the person you like. I have several houses in Zhongzhou City; you can keep your mistress in one of them. If you have a child, that's fine too. I'll raise it, but it will have to take my surname.

Zhou Yan supported his forehead with the soles of his hands.

The idea of ​​a rich woman living off her husband is quite appealing.

But am I that kind of person?

Zhou Yan: Never underestimate a young man's potential.

Sunny Fox: Young man, pride is useless. I've seen your resume. You were born into a poor family, struggled to get into university, and then took on student loans that you can't repay in thirty years. With that kind of background, even if you join our company, have you ever thought about how long it will take you to buy a car and a house, and provide a comfortable life for your family?

Sunny Fox: I can give you everything you need. You just need to act with me for a few years, and I can help you pay off your loan. I can even give you a house based on your performance. I can even support women for you and pay for your children's schooling. Your children won't have to sell themselves for half their lives like you did to learn something.

Sunny Fox: According to your normal and common logic, isn't this something that benefits both of us without any harm?

Zhou Yan: "..."

……

Office 504, 5th Floor, Da'an Media Building, Zhongzhou City.

Leng Qing sat behind her desk, holding her phone in one hand and staring at it.

She was waiting for Zhou Yan's reply.

To be honest, Leng Qing was indeed being pressured a bit by her parents, but when Zhou Yan said "Don't underestimate a young man's potential," Leng Qing couldn't help but frown.

Who does this guy think he is?

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't withstand the pressure, this guy wouldn't even have the right to get close to him.

Therefore, Leng Qing decided to tease Zhou Yan. She would reveal her assets and tell Zhou Yan that she could give him a car, a house, and help him pay off his loans.

Then, when Zhou Yan couldn't resist the temptation and agreed to a marriage of convenience, she would throw out a line like, "I'm sorry, I don't think you're good enough."

I'm sure Zhou Yan's expression will be priceless then.

But Leng Qing did not receive Zhou Yan's compromise.

Zhou Yan simply replied with one sentence.

"Only by respecting oneself can one earn respect."

Then Zhou Yan deleted Leng Qing from his friends list.

Chapter Twenty: Don't Underestimate a Young Man's Potential

At the entrance of the ancestral hall in Fengyang Village.

Wu Shanfu looked at the little girl who appeared from the doorway with surprise. The little girl tilted her head and looked at Wu Shanfu.

After a few seconds of silence, Wu Shanfu forced a smile.

"Little girl, what are you doing here?"

The little girl said weakly.

"I... I was playing hide-and-seek in the seventh place. In this place, the first and second girls definitely won't find me in the sixth place." "Seven...eight..."

Wu Shanfu: "..."

It seems that Fengyang Village is a place where strangers are not allowed to enter. However, there are some audacious people who dare to cause trouble in this place, such as that brother-in-law who dared to come to Fengyang Village to court death after drinking too much.

For example, this little village girl playing hide-and-seek.

Wu Shanfu looked behind the girl.

"Little girl, what's in here?"

The little girl looked back.

"It's all grass and stones inside."

Wu Shanfu nodded.

"Alright, little girl, this place is scary. You should go home and find your parents."

"oh oh……"

The little girl walked out of the shrine and ran towards the direction of Bright Village.

Wu Shanfu watched the little girl's back for a while, then shook her head and walked into the ancestral hall of Fengyang Village.

Just as the little girl had said, the ancestral hall was filled with weeds and stones. Further inside was the ancestral hall, which was now empty and where the ancestral tablets were placed. Next to the ancestral hall was the sheep temple, which the brother-in-law had mentioned, dedicated to the gods of Fengyang Village.

Wu Shanfu left the ancestral hall and entered the sheep temple.

In terms of its form alone, the Sheep Temple is no different from an ordinary rural temple. Moreover, due to years of disrepair, the interior is dirty and dilapidated, with weeds and cobwebs everywhere.

Only the statue in the Sheep Temple still sits high on the altar, with three heads and six arms, its beard and hair bristling, exuding majesty.

Wu Shanfu walked up to the statue. Based on her long experience as an investigator, she didn't know which deity the statue belonged to. However, her experience told her that the color of the statue was wrong.

Normal pigments will fade during the slow oxidation process. If this slow oxidation process is extended to more than ten or several decades, the color of objects such as statues will turn white and peel off. However, the sheep god statue that Wu Shanfu saw, apart from being covered with a little gray, still had a bright and beautiful color.

If this isn't a miracle, it can only mean one thing: the pigment used to color this statue isn't cheap biological pigment, but expensive mineral pigment. Only mineral pigment can remain unchanged for thousands of years.

Wu Shanfu reached out and touched the statue.

As the granddaughter of Chi You and a demigod swordswoman of the Wu clan, Wu Shanfu possesses extremely strong, almost immune, resistance to curses and poisons. Because of this, when faced with information that looks abnormal, Wu Shanfu likes to touch it with her hands.

Anyway, it won't kill me, and touching it will help me understand the situation better.

However, the statue was not poisonous. After touching it, Wu Shanfu tapped the outer shell of the statue.

It is not hollow either.

Wu Shanfu embraced the statue with both hands and lifted it up.

An anomaly occurred: the demigod, possessing strength thousands of times greater than that of a human, found himself struggling to lift the statue.

However, this was nothing. Wu Shanfu activated the "Great Witch True Scripture," spreading the power of her bloodline throughout her body, and her strength instantly increased dramatically.

After this sudden increase, Wu Shanfu gradually moved the statue in her arms away.

A dark staircase leading downwards appeared beneath the statue.

Wu Shanfu gripped her immortal sword tightly and descended the steps with a solemn expression.

Below lies the secret of Fengyang Village.

……

Outside Fengyang Village, at the van location.

Zhou Yan put his phone back in his pocket. His colleague, surnamed Wang, asked him excitedly, "..."

"How about it? I have a good relationship with Miss Leng, so I specially recommended you. Everyone says you're honest, and the benefits should go to honest people like you."

Zhou Yan replied with a smile.

"Then I'll really have to trouble you, Brother Wang."

Wang's colleague said smugly.

"Just give me a red envelope when you get married in the future."

Just as Zhou Yan was about to respond, his phone vibrated a few times. Not only Zhou Yan, but Wang's colleague's phone also rang, and the two of them picked up their phones at the same time.

The phone rang because of WeChat; the caller was Wu Shanfu.

Wu Shanfu: Now go stay in Guangming Village and don't come out unless there's something special!

Zhou Yan and his colleague Wang's expressions changed simultaneously.

Wang's colleague stuck his arm out of the car window and knocked on the car door, shouting at Zhou Yan.

"Xiao Yan, come here, I'll drive you to Guangming Village."

Zhou Yan ran to the van, opened the door, and got in.

Wang went to the driver's seat, inserted the key, started the engine, and sped towards Guangming Village.

Zhou Yan gave directions to Wang's colleague, and the two of them went to the place where Bai Yuan had eaten before. After picking up Bai Yuan, they found a deserted and spacious place to park.

As soon as they got off the bus, the colleague surnamed Wang took out several flags from his backpack, including a dragon and tiger seal. Bai Yuan drew out the soft sword he used as a belt and sat cross-legged in front of Zhou Yan and his colleague surnamed Wang with a solemn expression.

The two of them sank into silence.

Zhou Yan looked around, wanting to ask a lot of questions, but not knowing how to start.
