"Hundreds of miles along the river, peach blossoms bloom, welcoming spring again in Lu Province this May!"

"Wow, are you planning to open another Peach Blossom Fairy Temple on Blue Star?"

The next morning, Lu Zheng was lying in the middle of the big bed browsing his phone. To his left was the cool and soft Shen Ying, and to his right was the warm and fragrant Liu Qingyan.

For now, only these two were willing to accompany him together; Si Lingxi and Lin Wan were still a bit shy. The goal of sharing the bed with everyone was a long way off.

Hearing Lu Zheng speak, Shen Ying on his left gave him a coy look and wrapped her arm around him, "It's not impossible, you know. If we bring Zhao Xiaodao over as my Peach Blossom Celestial Maiden, I'm sure she'd be willing."

Lu Zheng, "..."

Apparently, Xin Zhanting had also said something similar to Lu Zheng. Are all the Ghost Gods like this?

If they fancy someone, do they have to make her die?

On Liu Qingyan's side of the bed, a corner of the quilt was lifted, revealing a fluffy white fox tail moving up and down beneath the cover. Liu Qingyan giggled as she leaned on Lu Zheng's shoulder, watching the video on his phone.

The video was of a dog owner who had three Samoyeds and two Golden Retrievers. In the video, the owner was walking the five dogs by the Yellow River, but they all lay motionless by the shore.

The video was titled [Wangfu Stone].

"You guys still lack cultivation. You've spread out so much aura that it's caused such phenomena."

Shen Ying pouted, picked up her phone, and with a few swipes, she found a news story about coastal fishermen having an abundant catch, showing it to Lu Zheng.

"Ahem! It's completely normal for casting spells to leave traces. Even the Ten Thousand Transformations Saint Infant with three thousand years of Dao Practice can't avoid it. We're already doing well."

"Hmph!"

Shen Ying snorted softly and reached out, retrieving something from the furry tail. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

As Lin Wan finished dressing and was about to open the door to call everyone for breakfast, she accidentally witnessed the beginning of a battle and hurriedly fled the scene.

...

Just returning to Tonglin County, Lu Zheng noticed that the county town was even more crowded with refugees.

"The Lu River's level has risen sharply, and several villages in Yuhe County and Pingtan County have been flooded."

"The Government has already mobilized grain supplies to prepare for disaster relief after the floodwaters recede."

"At the junction of Yanzhou, Yu State, and Hui Province, there's an evil cult inciting chaos among the common people, attacking the State Capital."

"Along the Lu River, Gui Ling River, and Yuejin River, demons are devouring people."

"The Government has organized healers to reside in refugee camps and disaster areas, treating the injured and preventing epidemics."

"The Anomaly Suppression Bureau, the military, and Abnormal People everywhere have all taken action, sparking countless small-scale battles throughout Great Jing."

The last two pieces of information came, one from Du Yueyao, and the other from Yuan Jing.

Everyone was now at the Lu Residence in the county town. Yuan Jing had arrived yesterday, and Du Yueyao had been visiting daily, but it wasn't until today that they finally awaited Lu Zheng's return.

Du Yueyao told Liu Qingyan, "Every medical hall has to send people. I've spoken with County Magistrate Ning, and Uncle Liu will stay in the county while you and I go."

Liu Qingyan nodded; the flood five years ago was like this, but...

"Bai Ting'Er came the day before yesterday and said she and her sisters are ready to depart anytime," Du Yueyao said with a smile, "Besides, Xiaowan said she'll go too."

Liu Qingyan's lips curled up.

Lu Zheng looked at Yuan Jing and asked, "What did Master say?"

"Master had a premonition, foresaw danger for Elder Yuting, and has already descended the mountain, instructing me to find you and act as needed."

"Elder Yuting is in danger?" Lu Zheng's eyes widened, asking anxiously.

Daoist Yuting had been half of his master when he first began cultivation, his mentor in illusion techniques, and had played a significant role in some initial battles.

Yuan Jing nodded, "A few days ago, Master suddenly had a premonition, cast spells seeking insight, and foresaw danger for Elder Yuting, thus departing overnight."

"Did Master say where?"

"No, but Master headed east," Yuan Jing said and then reassured Lu Zheng, "Don't worry, Junior Brother, since Master foresaw it and has already set out, Elder Yuting will surely overcome the crisis."

Lu Zheng nodded; Daoist Yuting had only three hundred years of Dao Practice, and if he encountered powerful foes, he would naturally be helpless.

However, Daoist Mingzhang was no weakling. As a Ming Generation disciple of White Cloud Temple, his cultivation had advanced; equipped with Divine Techniques and Secret Techniques and a stealth Magical Treasure, capable of Cloud Riding and Mist Driving, he was not someone easily dealt with.

"So should we wander around, exorcising demons?" Lu Zheng blinked, asking.

Yuan Jing nodded again and said solemnly, "Master instructed me to remind you not to reveal too much of your cultivation if you act frequently."

"Why?"

"Because there are many eyes in the shadows," Si Lingxi interjected.

A large-scale flood had drawn out too many demons and monsters.

However, those showing themselves weren't particularly high in cultivation, as true masters would never act casually.

First, the root of the flood was still a natural disaster. People need to save themselves, and Abnormal People are not the babysitters of mortals. It's not yet the end of the dynasty, and the Court's relief efforts can save most lives.

Second, the demons and monsters causing chaos are mostly small fry. The Anomaly Suppression Bureau, military, and major sects need to train new recruits; not every issue can be resolved by the big shots.

Third, the world is not at peace. Many powerful demons and monsters lurk hidden, and if they glimpse the true nature of a big shot, they might set a trap to attack.

Of course, while some formidable demons hide in the shadows watching Great Jing, the big shots of Great Jing also remain hidden, observing the world and seeking out each other's vulnerabilities and opportunities to strike.

Five years ago, the flood didn't result in particularly intense conflicts, so merely five years later, all sides are making a comeback.

"Of course, that's the usual circumstance. If Lu Lang wants to act, go ahead. I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to jump out against you," Si Lingxi stated indifferently.

Yuan Jing couldn't help but glance at Si Lingxi. Her words exuded a strong sense of authority, but coming from the master of Phoenix Mountain, it somehow felt natural.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but chuckle, "Great Jing has so many talented individuals and big shots; it wouldn't be my turn to fight on the front lines."

Lu Zheng had taken action on Blue Star because of the floods; besides him, no one else could resolve it. But in Great Jing, it was different.

His advantage in Great Jing was his surplus of grain.

Therefore, naturally, the healers would clear the path, followed by the grain, swiftly reaching each disaster area.

This year differed from five years ago in that they wouldn't stay in one place too long, and their means of travel had become Cloud Riding and Mist Driving.

"If that's the case, let's pack up and set off tomorrow," Lu Zheng said.

"Okay!"

Everyone responded in unison.
