"Mister, please forgive me. My younger sister is ignorant. I beg you to be merciful!"
Chapter 5: Holy crap, Brother Fan is awesome, I already have a wife!
"I beg you to be merciful, Mister. You can name any condition!"
The Woman in Purple was suffering from a backlash from the spell she cast on Chen Fan.
If Chen Fan refused to lift the suppression of her fortune, the Woman in Purple would continue to have bad luck for at least another day or two before her fate and fortune could resolve it.
Chen Fan saw the situation. Although he didn't understand why this First Madam of the Zhang family was acting this way, he knew he had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, coincidentally, the identity and strength of this First Madam of the Zhang family would be useful to him.
"Although I don't know what you mean, Madam, I agree! However, I also have something I'd like to ask for your help with!"
Chen Fan stated his request openly. Lady Zhang's eyes flickered slightly.
Then, she nodded decisively and said, "Thank you, Mister. But what is this help you speak of?"
Zhang Tianshou looked at Chen Fan with a smile. Chen Fan immediately understood her meaning. It was clear that the problem with the young woman in purple was not serious. If Chen Fan had pushed his luck and tried to extort her, Zhang Tianshou would never have agreed.
Thinking this, Chen Fan cupped his hands and smiled again. "It's nothing. I just need to borrow the name of the Zhang Clan of Qinghe. Near my village, there is a Clear Water River, and in it lives a River God. I need your help with this matter..."
"So it's the River God causing trouble. Mister, rest assured, I will not refuse. I will go with you now and slay that evil god!"
A murderous aura emanated from Zhang Tianshou, making Chen Fan's heart tremble. Holy crap, no wonder the Great Tang can stand tall in this world where gods and demons run rampant. If just one Madam from the Zhang Clan of Qinghe is this decisive and ruthless, then those like Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong must be like demon gods!
"That's not necessary. I just have some matters to discuss with the River God. It's just that Zhao Family Village doesn't have enough influence, and I'm afraid the River God won't pay attention to me!"
Chen Fan wiped a bead of cold sweat from his forehead. This woman is really something!
Zhang Tianshou frowned slightly upon hearing this. Discuss with the River God? Before the Jade Emperor ascended, she had witnessed the exploitative nature of these wicked gods. They would do anything to skin mortals alive, suck their bones dry, and drain their marrow.
Wait, discuss, River God! Zhang Tianshou then thought of Chen Fan's identity as the new Great Human Sage! As far as Zhang Tianshou knew, every Human Sage had the guidance of the Human Race's destiny. Could this be Chen Fan's destiny's guidance? If so, then Chen Fan wasn't making a condition, but offering a benefit! After all, the birth of every Great Human Sage greatly increased the strength of the Human Race. The fortune and merit gained from this were enough to make even a Quasi-Saint envious.
However, why was Chen Fan being so good to her, a stranger? No, she had to repay such a great karmic debt!
Zhang Tianshou thought for a moment and took off a soft, crimson jade waist token from her waist. "Tianshou thanks Mister for his guidance. Tianshou has no way to repay you. This is Tianshou's token. With this, Mister can command gods and spirits. City Gods and Earth Gods will obey your command upon seeing this token!"
"Holy crap, it's that awesome?" Chen Fan was dumbfounded. Awesome, my Great Tang! If a mere waist token representing the identity of a Madam from the Zhang Clan of Qinghe can command gods and spirits, then can Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, with his words carrying the force of law, bestow godhood with a single word?
Chen Fan, unaware of Zhang Tianshou's true identity, completely misunderstood.
Beside him, Dazhuang looked at Chen Fan with admiration.
So impressive, Brother Fan, he's already tricked the young lady into giving him her name tag. What are they talking about gods and demons? That's clearly a token of affection!
"What... what's 'niu'?"
Zhang Tianshou was confused. Chen Fan only then remembered that the person before him was a girl.
Chen Fan quickly cleared his throat twice and explained.
"It means 'amazing'!"
"Oh, Tianshou understands. Mister, wow, amazing!"
Zhang Tianshou cupped her fists and smiled at Chen Fan. Chen Fan's mouth twitched.
Zhang Tianshou looked puzzled.
Why didn't Mister seem to like her compliment?
"Ahem, you've always referred to yourself as Tianshou, is that your given name, First Madam?"
Chen Fan quickly changed the subject, deciding not to mess around anymore.
However, even though the Great Tang's customs were open, a woman's given name wouldn't be revealed so casually.
Dazhuang, on the other hand, was questioning his life.
Given name, token of affection, has Brother Fan already succeeded? Then why is his Xiao Hua still so indifferent to him?
Lady Zhang nodded, but the Woman in Purple couldn't stand it.
"Eldest Sister, what's so good about talking to this little person? You even gave him your name tag!"
The Woman in Purple stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Tianshou's sleeve, and pouted so hard she could hang an oil pot.
Zhang Tianshou's expression immediately turned stern, and she reprimanded, "Xiao Qi, don't be rude! Apologize to Mister quickly!"
"Eldest Sister!"
"Apologize!"
Facing Xiao Qi's pouting, Zhang Tianshou showed an unusual lack of softness.
Xiao Qi reluctantly turned around, bowed to Chen Fan, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry!"
"Louder! How do I usually teach you?"
"First Madam, please calm down. She's just a child, it's normal for her to be ignorant!"
Chen Fan quickly intervened. He still had many things to do and needed the Zhang Clan of Qinghe's assistance.
Chen Fan didn't care about this small matter.
Li Shimin was primarily targeting the prominent clans, the Seven Great Clans.
As one of the favored clans, the Zhang Clan of Qinghe was definitely a good cooperation partner.
"Mister is magnanimous!"
Zhang Tianshou's expression instantly cleared up, and she said apologetically.
Dazhuang was now utterly amazed by Chen Fan.
Brother Fan is invincible! They're already acting like a married couple?
The Woman in Purple looked at Young Master Fu and One-Eyed Wolf with unconcealed displeasure, gritting her teeth.
