Primordial World: Marrying the Eldest Princess, the Jade Emperor Has Gone Mad!

The River God's eyes flashed with ruthlessness and greed, a smile of longing involuntarily appearing on his lips.

"Young Master Chen, now that the deal is done, may I leave?"

"Of course, Divine Lord, please do. As long as your soldiers continue to uphold their end of the bargain!"

Chen Fan nodded, glancing at the Fish Head River God with some confusion.

How did this guy get so confident again in just a moment?

"Alright, you lot, listen to orders from Zhao Family Village during this period, understand!"

The Fish Head River God instructed his subordinates, then turned and leaped back into the river.

After the Fish Head River God left, the river demons immediately relaxed.

Seeing this, Chen Fan knew this wouldn't do, so he said, "Generals, please help us transport this silt into the fields and compact it.

This can be paid for with Incense and Fire. You can discuss the price with the Village Chief!

Oh, and this isn't mud-digging, so you don't need to hand over any of it!"

Hearing Chen Fan's enticing words, the river demons immediately perked up.

Incense and Fire? Why didn't you say so sooner? They all rushed towards the Village Chief.

Seeing the ferocious and bizarrely shaped river demons, the Village Chief's face turned pale.

Even though he knew these river demons wouldn't harm him, he still felt fear.

He retreated repeatedly, terrified by the approaching river demons.

Chen Fan's lips twitched. Come on, Village Chief, give me some support!

"Xiao Fan, hurry and help me, I... I can't do this."

Chapter Nineteen: The Path of the Sage, Chen Fan's Scheme!

"Xiao Fan, I can't, you come quickly!"

Hearing the Village Chief's plea for help, Chen Fan helplessly patted his forehead.

This darn village would fall apart without me sooner or later.

Chen Fan gave the Village Chief a disappointed look, then glanced at the group of ferocious river demons.

After a moment of silence, he turned to Zhang Tianshou and spoke with a heavy tone.

"Tianshou, you wanted to learn some things from me, didn't you?

Managing these river demons will be your responsibility. Can you do it?"

Hearing Chen Fan's solemn words, a hint of joy appeared on Zhang Tianshou's face.

Why do so many immortals, gods, demons, and monsters want to follow human sages?

Isn't it because by working for a human sage, as long as they contribute to humanity,

they'll receive a reward from the Human Dao when the sage ascends to Huoyun Cave?

Furthermore, if the sage's actions align with the workings of the Heavenly Dao during this period,

large amounts of merit and fortune will descend.

Now, Chen Fan entrusting this matter to her not only signified that Chen Fan had accepted her, but he was also giving Zhang Tianshou merit and fortune.

"Really? Thank you, Mister!"

Zhang Tianshou's eyes were filled with surprise. Who would have thought that a simple trip down here

would bring such a great opportunity?

Although as a princess of the Heavenly Court, Zhang Tianshou lacked no opportunities, but how could the heavenly treasures of the Heavenly Court compare to merit and fortune?

"Congratulations, Big Sister!"

Zhang Tianxian also congratulated Zhang Tianshou heartily.

Then, Zhang Tianxian's eyes darted around, and he suddenly pulled Zhang Tianshou aside and whispered, "Big Sister, does this Mister Zhang really like you?"

"What are you talking about!"

Zhang Tianshou's expression changed, and she reprimanded Zhang Tianxian.

However, Zhang Tianxian saw that Zhang Tianshou's earlobes had turned red.

"How could he not? Big Sister, you're stunningly beautiful. Who wouldn't be moved upon seeing you?

Besides, you must have heard what Brother Dazhuang and the others just said!"

Zhang Tianxian teased with a smile, and Zhang Tianshou's cheeks visibly flushed red.

Chen Fan saw that Zhang Tianshou had agreed but hadn't come over.

He felt a moment of confusion and strode over.

Yes, that's it. It's definitely not because the Village Chief brought a bunch of river demons over.

"Big Sister, hurry, your Mister has arrived!"

Zhang Tianxian grabbed Zhang Tianshou's back and pushed her forward.

"Tianshou, what's going on with you two?"

"Mister Chen, my sister has something to say to you, right, Big Sister!"

Zhang Tianxian poked his head out from behind Zhang Tianshou, saying with a grin.

Zhang Tianshou playfully hit Zhang Tianxian and pulled him out from behind her.

"Go, teach those river demons some manners. Xiao Qi, when she gets back, have her help you manage them!"

Zhang Tianshou wasn't one to hoard benefits, immediately sharing the spoils with her sister.

Chen Fan naturally had no objections; it wasn't his problem to manage them anyway.

Initially, relying on benefits alone wouldn't be enough to make these river demons abide by the rules.

Demons fear power, not kindness; someone needed to suppress them.

Once the rules were established.

Recruiting other demons would be much smoother.

Because by then, these river demons would have adapted to the rules and would even be beneficiaries of the system.

They would naturally uphold Zhao Family Village's rules.

"If Fifth Young Lady is willing, I naturally couldn't ask for more. Tianshou, what did you want to tell me?"

Chen Fan nodded, and Zhang Tianxian stepped out from behind Zhang Tianshou.

She gave Zhang Tianshou a knowing look and then turned to Chen Fan with a smile.

"Mister, call me Tianxian from now on!"

Chen Fan looked at Zhang Tianxian, bewildered, feeling as though she had suddenly become much more intimate with him.

The next moment, his Qingyun sleeves flew out, hoisting two water demons up.

"All of you shut up! Ten mu of land for one wisp of Incense and Fire, that's the price. Anyone who dares to object, I'll boil them alive!"

As Zhang Tianxian unleashed her fury, the assembled river demons immediately quieted down.

Seeing Zhang Tianxian take charge, the Village Chief finally began to play his role.

Seeing everything proceeding according to his plan, Chen Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"Tianshou, what is it?"

Zhang Tianshou had recovered by now. She twirled a strand of hair by her shoulder with a finger and said softly.

"Mister, I don't think the River God will be content! And, the River God swallowed all the Incense and Fire from the transactions, leaving the little demons with no benefits. If this continues, I'm afraid these transactions can't go on!"

Zhang Tianshou frowned slightly, voicing her concerns.

The path of human sages, though noble, might not necessarily succeed.

If Chen Fan's plan failed, the greater the benefits he had previously received from the Heavenly Dao and Human Dao, the greater the backlash he would face later.
