What kind of Journey to the West is this?

"You will be in charge of this matter. If it is done well, the credit will naturally go to you. For now, you are still a seventh-rank official. Once you have made achievements, I will consider promoting you."

Jiang Banxia’s eyes went dark.

This is to find coolies for the new government office!

She immediately shook her head, "I can't do it, I can't do it. Please find someone else!"

"The salary of the seventh-rank Plague Disperser remains unchanged, plus the annual salary of the fifth-rank Heavenly Official of the Northern Division and the fifth-rank Sanzhi of the Western Division."

"That's fine."

Jiang Banxia immediately patted his chest.

——She remembered that An Yanxia would have to report to heaven after the New Year.

.......................

At this moment, Cangzhou.

Jiuzhongzi had just returned from the Exorcism Temple and was passing by the City God Temple when he was stopped by Yu Qinghuai.

"Don't panic, Yu Temple Master. An Bazui has already told me about warding off disasters and praying for blessings."

Jiuzhezi laughed heartily, pointed at Qing'anju, and said, "Now Anbazui has finally made a name for herself! I think it's perfectly fine for her to preside over this ceremony!"

Yu Qinghuai's eyes sparkled with admiration.

She had long known that An Yanxia had been dealing with the monsters and demons in Cangzhou recently. A few days ago, she even mobilized hundreds of soldiers and horses, apparently intending to cut down mountains and destroy temples.

——Cut down mountains and destroy temples!

As a magician of the Dragon and Tiger Temple, she wished she could also grab the yellow talisman and go over to help.

But there is no way, she is too bad...

Miss Yu was fascinated and took the wine cup and said, "Master, can you tell me the details of that day? I will write a story about it one day."

Wow, this guy is a fan fiction writer.

Seeing that the girl was so persistent, Jiuzhongzi had no choice but to tell her about the many thrilling moments of that day. He talked about An Yanxia and her second adventure in Qinglong Temple.

Ao Erya was especially mentioned.

"Anbazui pulled the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven from nowhere. I don't know his specific name. But this Demon King seems to be quite fond of her."

Yu Qinghuai felt nervous. Being favored by the devil was not a good thing!

Jiuzhanzi smiled and said, "Don't be too alarmed. She is the third daughter of the demon king, Mara, known as Princess Miaole. She has some manners."

"She has a fondness for Anba Zui. I heard she kept him late into the night for long conversations. But this is a desperate ploy—Yu Miaozhu, I hear you have a close relationship with Anba Zui. You should try to persuade him."

Jiuzhaizi said this with a smile on his face, whether intentional or not.

“Is this true…?”

Yu Qinghuai subconsciously defended An Yanxia and whispered, "Senior would never do that."

But it still feels unbelievable.

She knew what the six heavenly demons were, and the mages of the Dragon and Tiger Temple had to deal with those demons and ghosts.

That was a demon who was good at illusion, sorcery, and manipulating human nature. In particular, she was a demon princess. It was said that Princess Miaole once tried to create an illusory dream for Sakyamuni.

This kind of guy kept the senior until late at night and had a long chat with him...

Is this the long conversation she understood?

.........................

"Your Majesty!"

"Kneel down to heaven, to earth, to my parents! But I won't kneel down to you, An Yanxia!"

"Great! You're brave now. You were so decisive when you knelt before."

"The Tai Sui has left, the Star Lords have withdrawn, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals have returned to their lair. What can you, An Yanxia, do to me?"

"How about it?"

In the study, Yan Xia looked at the unruly mixed-haired loli, smiled and made a gesture, chanting a spell.

Ao Erya didn't take it seriously, but suddenly felt her collar tighten and her expression changed slightly.

She has the body of a celestial demon, which is originally invisible and intangible, so it is naturally impossible for her to experience looseness or tightness.

But at this moment, she actually felt that she was trapped by a ring, and the ring was getting tighter and tighter.

She leaned against the wall, stared at the girl, and asked, "What the hell is this?"

Yan Xia said, "I scraped off a layer of gold from the golden body of the Buddha statue in the main hall of Qinglong Temple and made a gold necklace for you. Look down and see the bell on the necklace; it's also a treasure."

Ao Erya looked down and saw a glass bell tied to the collar.

Yan Xia said regretfully, "The golden body of Sakyamuni and the colored glass of the Azure Dragon Venerable, I have wasted a lot of precious things in order to bring you to justice."

"Ao Shuangtong, let's sit down and have a good talk."

Donghuang suddenly receives a jade talisman: Chapter 180 [The Devil bows, the Plague God sets out]

Ao Erya frowned slightly when she saw that An Yanxia seemed sincere.

She asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

An Yanxia stared at Ao Erya, her red lips parted slightly, "Kneel down first."

Ao Erya: “….”

The mixed-haired loli knelt on the ground unwillingly.

Yan Xia said: "Raise your hand."

Ao Erya was confused for a moment and raised her hand, not knowing what Yan Xia wanted her to do.

"Okay, put your hands down."

"Is that all right?"

“Shake your head.”

Ao Erya suddenly realized and said angrily: "I am not your dog!"

Snapped!

A slap slapped the hairy lolita in the face. The girl in the crane cloak said coldly, "Do you know you're wrong?"

The left side of Ao Erya's face was red.

She cried in pain, and then she felt suffocated - the golden collar was shrinking.

"Stop chanting the curse! Stop chanting the curse! I'm wrong and it's not okay!"

Yan Xia stopped and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

"you!"

Ao Erya was furious. It was this evil Taoist priest who blackmailed her and bullied her, and this evil Taoist priest had the audacity to ask her what she had done wrong?!

Snapped!

After another slap, the girl looked at him coldly and said, "Don't you know? I'm telling you: you used a mind-bending spell in broad daylight to trick me into forgetting Xiong Fengxian's funeral. You don't think it's perfect, do you?"

Ao Erya was stunned and speechless.

Yan Xia hooked the chin of the mixed-haired loli and lifted her up from the ground, her face frosty.

"I know what you're thinking. As long as you can get through these two days, the Heavenly Court soldiers will withdraw, and you'll be free."

She patted Ao Erya's cheek and warned, "But the Princess of the Three Saints is here this time, and Yin Jiao Yin Tai Sui is here too. Have you ever considered the consequences of rashly using your magic power in the city?"

"If you are discovered. I'm fine, but what about you? Ao Shuangtong, your disaster is coming."

Ao Erya lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"What's the point of saying sorry? If Xue Shi'er hadn't helped suppress the aura in Qing'anju, you would have been sent to the Exorcism Institute for trial the moment Doctor Xiong came to see me."

Ao Erya lowered her head even lower.

PUA was a great success.

Yan Xia let her go, her face expressionless, a little flame lit up at her fingertips and burned onto Ao Erya's body.

The fire did not hurt anyone, it just burned all the clothes.

This mixed-haired loli has no sense of shame, but under the shaping of various external forces, her sense of shame can be aroused.

Yan Xia said, "Facing the wall for three hours."

——Right now!

— crunch!

The half-closed door of the study was pushed open. Bai Zhu looked at the naked, mixed-haired loli in the study and his mistress with a flame on her fingertips, and swallowed silently.

He took a step back, closed the door silently, and said "sorry" several times.

Yan Xia was also stunned.

This is such a bad time! She is busy PUAing a mixed-haired loli!

"Just stand still!"

The girl glared at Ao Erya who was facing the wall and thinking about her mistakes, then put on a crane cloak and rushed out of the door in a few steps.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw Bai Zhu who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

She asked, "Sister Bai Shu, is there something you need in the middle of the night?"

Bai Zhu thought about it again and again, then sighed and said, "Miss, please be careful."

An Yanxia: “….”

Okay, that picture is a bit misleading.

"I was——"

"I understand. It's a misunderstanding!" Bai Zhu's eyes were firm.

"...Let's get down to business first. What exactly is it?"

"It's some arrangements for the end of the year."

.....................................

After several twists and turns, it was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the end of the year was just a few days away.

Bai Zhu’s opinion is: Since the young lady has found the secret to longevity, why not go back to the ancestral home during the Chinese New Year this year?

From Yanxia's own perspective, she felt that this was completely unnecessary.

The ancestral home in Anqiu is located outside the county town, and that area is almost entirely populated by her clan members.

The so-called clan may seem lively and bustling, but a closer look reveals that it is extremely foul and filthy, full of intrigue.

Of course, this was mostly due to the inaction of the so-called elders of the clan. Without a leader, the clan was in chaos.

Yanxia didn't like that kind of environment anyway, so why would she go back? She couldn't just go back and refine the useless ancestors in the ancestral temple into the banners, could she?

She's not that filial yet.

"Just stay in Cangzhou. I'm Cangzhou's Exorcist, so I'll spend the New Year in Cangzhou. There's a prayer ceremony at the end of the year, organized by Qinghuai, so we have to see it, right? Wenshu Temple is open now, but there's no priest yet. It relies on Xueshi'er to occasionally take charge. Shouldn't we take Xueshi'er with us when we go back? I heard there's a lantern festival at the City God Temple during the Lantern Festival. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?"

The girl was chattering at this time.

Bai Zhu smiled and nodded, "Then I understand."

"Miss, it's cold at night, so you should wear two more layers of clothes."

As he spoke, Bai Zhu helped lift the collar of the crane feather cloak and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's a bit cold to sleep in the study."

Yan Xia's face froze, "What a misunderstanding..."

"Yes, I misunderstood. As long as the young lady knows it in her heart, then do you want me to buy some more clothes for that little girl?"

Yan Xia glanced at her out of the corner of her eye and said, "No, she won't freeze to death."

After saying that, the girl took Bai Zhu's hand and left.
