Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As time passed, the people of Qinghe County who had been evacuated returned to their homes one after another.

However, they soon found that their homes had disappeared without a trace.

There was only a pile of debris that looked like dust in front of them.

The place where they lived was gone.

The bailiffs and officials who had rushed back all looked at the ruined county office in a daze. Then, they looked at each other in confusion.

They could see the confusion in each other’s eyes, they were dumbfounded.

The county office was gone. What should they, the officials and bailiffs, do?

Furthermore…

There was a simple dungeon in the county office. They remembered that there were some vicious prisoners waiting to be beheaded after autumn.

Ah, this…

It seemed that there was no need to waste any more effort to execute those prisoners.

Under such circumstances, if any of them could survive… That would be like seeing a ghost.

However, Fu Shuangni was already prepared. She casually threw a storage bag to a state capital Immortal cultivator beside her.

Under the other party’s astonished gaze, Fu Shuangni ordered, “There’s some gold and silver inside. Use this gold and silver to hire people to rebuild all the destroyed buildings.”

“Whether it’s the houses where the commoners live, the county office of Qinghe County, or even the streets paved with bluestone… Hire people to rebuild them all. Make sure the quality is guaranteed and quickly.”

The state capital Immortal cultivator curiously sent his divine sense into his storage bag, and was immediately stunned by the gold, silver, and jewelry inside.

So much!

Where did Her Highness the princess get so much gold, silver, and jewelry?

He could not help but suck in a cold breath of air.

Fortunately, for him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the attraction of gold, silver, and jewelry was no longer that great.

Otherwise…

It was hard for him to avoid having some crooked thoughts.

“Yes!” the prefecture capital Immortal cultivator hurriedly replied.

“Right.” Fu Shuangni suddenly added, “Spend money to rent all the inns, tea stalls, and restaurants in Qinghe County, and settle these temporarily homeless people. Then choose the largest inn and use it as a temporary county office.”

“Yes!” that prefecture capital Immortal cultivator once again replied.

After that, Fu Shuangni said to Chen Qianxue, “Thank you for lending me the gold and silver. I will return it to you when I have the chance.”

That’s right.

The gold, silver, and jewelry that she took out were all lent to her by Chen Qianxue.

The current Fu Shuangni could be said to be heavily in debt!

For some reason, Fu Shuangni felt that ever since she came to Qinghe County, any money on her seemed like she would not be able to stay for long.

No… Not only would she not be able to stay for long. She would always owe others a huge amount of debt because of all sorts of things!

Luckily!

Chen Qianxue had a very good relationship with her. Chen Qianxue did not ask for any interest, nor did she make any requests. She also did not make Fu Shuangni swear any Heavenly Oath.

Fu Shuangni was very grateful for this.

“No worries.”Chen Qianxue smiled and shook her head. “To me, gold and silver are just worldly possessions.”

“…”

Time.

It started to pass again.

In the blink of an eye, it was already evening. Fu Shuangni did not give any orders to keep quiet about the attack that happened during the day. As a result, this news quickly spread throughout Qinghe County.

When the people in Qinghe County heard that an important figure from the Great Yan Imperial City was attacked by an Immortal cultivator in Qinghe county, they were all dumbfounded!

What kind of crime did Qinghe county suffer? Why did all sorts of things keep happening?

In such a short period of time, they experienced the infiltration of a demon cultivator and the attack of an important figure in the Imperial City.

This made the commoners wonder if they were in Qinghe County. Why did it feel so foreign?!

This level of danger was not inferior to those large cities, right?

Of course, they did not know the details.

Even without Fu Shuangni’s orders, the bailiffs in the county did not want to reveal too much to the commoners.

After all, they did not know much.

Fu Shuangni was currently in the biggest inn in Qinghe County. This inn had already been requisitioned by her, and there were a bunch of Qinghe county officials and bailiffs gathered there.

As for the inn’s waiters and shopkeepers, they had all been sent home.

They had to pay.

Be it the shopkeeper or the waiters, when they left the inn, they were all smiling.

One could imagine that Fu Shuangni gave them a lot, enough to make them stop working for half a year.

“In the past, I didn’t feel this way in the Imperial City.” Fu Shuangni looked at the setting sun in the distance, she seemed to be minding her own business and said, “After leaving the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty, I met all sorts of dangers. Only then did I know how precious life is.”

Chen Qianxue sat beside her and heard Chen Qianxue lightly laugh. “Are you afraid?”

Fu Shuangni laughed self-deprecatingly. “Death is close at hand, who wouldn’t be afraid?”

She paused and continued, “Those who aren’t afraid of death, why would they choose to cultivate?”

These words made some sense.

The point of cultivation was not to let oneself live longer. Cultivation was to make oneself stronger, to avoid all sorts of dangers.
