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

There was no sign of him introducing himself or where he was from; instead, he opened his mouth to probe Wei Zheng.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng was stunned upon hearing this, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Humans and demons coexisting peacefully?

How could that be possible? Besides those few hotheads in the imperial court.

Who could forcibly take some demons as mounts with just their fists.

Wei Zheng had never heard of humans and demons coexisting peacefully.

That they could mind their own business was already due to the Great Tang's prosperity, making the demons dare not act recklessly.

Demons lacked refinement and would surely cause trouble if they spent too much time with humans.

Even the usually loyal dog demons were no exception.

They were only loyal to their masters; they would still bite others.

Every year, no less than a thousand people died or were injured in the Great Tang due to demon rampages.

"I actually don't know about that. If such a wondrous sight exists, I must go and see it!

However, Brother Bai, do you know if anyone in Qingshi Town is privately gathering Incense and Fire?"

"What? Someone dares to privately gather Incense and Fire? They are truly not human.

But it seems, Brother Wei, you have other important matters to attend to.

I was too hasty, Brother Bai. I thought we could travel together!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Qianli's eyes, and then he smiled.

The two chatted for a while longer, and Bai Qianli took his leave.

Wei Zheng watched Bai Qianli's receding figure, frowning in thought.

"Why did this person approach me? Is it related to the matter of Incense and Fire?

And humans and demons coexisting peacefully, where did this rumor come from!"

Wei Zheng shook his head, casting aside the absurd thought from his mind.

Humans and demons were naturally hostile to each other; how could they coexist peacefully?

Even in the Heavenly Court, human gods and demon immortals and gods were at odds.

There were very few humans and demons who could become friends.

Knock knock knock!

A black-clothed guard hurried over and stopped in front of Wei Zheng.

"My lord, we've investigated. The Lone Wolf Gang in Qingshi Town does indeed show signs of privately gathering Incense and Fire.

However, they are very secretive about it. All I could find were a few suspicious locations.

Also, Zhao Family Village, under the jurisdiction of Qingshi Town, is also a bit suspicious!"

Wei Zheng frowned upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"Suspicious is suspicious, what do you mean 'a bit suspicious'?"

"Well, my lord, it's mainly that Zhao Family Village does privately use Incense and Fire for transactions.

But they deal directly with demons, and without any concealment!"

The guard replied with a troubled expression. He was also baffled by this news.

Humans producing Incense and Fire to hire demons for farming and building water conservancy!

It was f***ing ridiculous!

The guard was stunned when he first heard the news.

"Wait, you're talking about Zhao Family Village? Did you get this information from a man in white?"

"A man in white? No, my lord. I've been waiting for news downstairs the whole time.

I haven't left my post, and no man in white has appeared in this inn!"

"No, how is that possible? He..."

Wei Zheng suddenly stood up, his expression changing rapidly.

He instantly realized that Bai Qianli was likely no simple figure.

"Was he deliberately leading me to Zhao Family Village, or does he have some other motive?"

Wei Zheng slowly sat down, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

After pondering for a long time, Wei Zheng finally came to his senses and gave an order.

"You continue to gather evidence on the Lone Wolf Gang. I will go to Zhao Family Village!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Outside Qingshi Town, a young man in white turned his head, a slight smile curling the corners of his lips.

"A Heavenly Court official, a position of supreme importance, interesting, very interesting!"

At the entrance to Zhao Family Village, the Seventh Princess, Zhang Tianyu, cracked her long whip with a sharp snap.

"All of you shut up! Anyone who wants to work, gather at the thatched shed over there.

Someone will explain Zhao Family Village's rules to you, then give you a wooden token.

Remember, this wooden token will be your proof for claiming work from now on. If you lose it, you'll have to get a new one!"

"Haha, Tianyu, how are you adapting!"

Chen Fan looked at Zhang Tianqing, who was grinding her teeth, and chuckled heartily.

Zhang Tianyu turned and glared fiercely at Chen Fan, gritting her teeth.

"How dare you say that! These monsters are so stupid, they can't remember even the smallest things.

I'm going crazy! Can't you find people who can read and write to help?"

"Hahaha, take it slow. This kind of thing can't be rushed!"

Chen Fan gave an awkward smile. Zhao Family Village was only so big.

If it weren't for the fact that the monsters all brought their own food, he wouldn't be able to afford to start such a project.

Besides, it wasn't like he hadn't tried to hire people before.

Whenever the scholars heard they were coming to Zhao Family Village, they would either claim to be sick or injured.

Nowadays, everyone in Qingshi Town knew that Zhao Family Village had practically become a monster den.

Up until now, only Scholar Dong had come.

No one else dared to show up.

"Um, I am Bai Qianli. I heard you were hiring workers here?"

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Radiance of Humanity, Bai Qianli's Shock!

Outside Zhao Family Village, a figure in white stood and observed.

He saw a turtle demon in the ditches on all four sides of Zhao Family Village, digging and diverting water.

By the Clear Water River, several river demons were pushing mud onto a scale.

In the fields, a small half had already been planted with seedlings, a patch of verdant green.

In the other half of the fields, ox and pig demons had revealed their true forms, grunting as they pulled the plows.

"How did you manage this? The Incense and Fire of humanity couldn't achieve this!"

Bai Qianli's eyes flickered as he shifted his gaze to another area, his eyes shining with hope.

He saw that on the open ground, an incense altar was set up.

Judging by the incense smoke emanating from the altar, it had been there for at least a hundred years.

At this moment, a bull-headed demon stood obediently before the altar.

The Fifth Princess, Zhang Tianxian of the Heavenly Court, extended her fair hand towards the bull demon, her tone calm.

"Wooden token!"

Hearing Zhang Tianxian's soulless voice, the bull demon chuckled foolishly and handed over a wooden token.

Zhang Tianxian took the token and scanned the numbers on it.

She then quickly flipped open the ledger in front of her and soon found the corresponding entry.

"Number twenty-seven, Niu Acai, plowed three hundred and twenty mu. Withdrew twenty, twelve remaining.

Is the quantity correct? How much do you wish to withdraw this time?"

Niu Acai nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and replied in a muffled voice.

"Yes, that's right. I'll withdraw it all. Thank you, Manager Wu!"
