Welcoming the Newcomers and Making Plans

After returning to Clear Creek Village, Yin Yunze stopped Spirit Descent on Zhao Wan.

After instructing Zhao Wan to take the newly recruited witches to the lakeside to wait, Yin Yunze switched his perspective back to the real world.

Looking at the various odds and ends that filled almost half the room, Yin Yunze couldn't help but feel a kind of weary joy.

After finally managing to sort and pile all the stuff into the basement, the day was over.

Looking at the sky, Yin Yunze thought for a moment, then took the things he had prepared and went to the hotel to book a table for a banquet.

As usual, Yin Yunze waited until all the dishes were served and the waiter left before entering the world.

They appeared again beside the statue by the lake, but unlike the usual quiet, this time there were eleven people present.

Since these were all new witches recruited by Yin Yunze, Sun Qin temporarily delegated other matters and began to receive these girls.

Of course, what Sun Qin mainly did was to answer these curious children's questions about Yin Yunze based on her own experience.

Perhaps Yin Yunze's previous orders were truly effective, because this time Zhang Yufei obediently sat on the ground and listened to Sun Qin speak.

The overall atmosphere was quite harmonious. "Lord Yi Yun has arrived."

However, once Zhao Wan sensed Yin Yunze and pointed it out, the entire atmosphere changed.

Upon hearing Zhao Wan's words, everyone except Sun Qin and Zhao Wan, including Qi Rongrong, instantly changed their expressions, and the atmosphere became somewhat restrained. Zhang Yufei, in particular, subconsciously looked around, then seemed to remember something and lowered her head deeply.

Yin Yunze had no intention of hiding his spying, but when he was exposed, he used the Group Character Talisman to conjure up the image of Green Hill Yi Yun.

Upon seeing Green Hill Yi Yun's appearance, all the girls knelt on the ground.

However, this made Sun Qin and Zhao Wan, who were still standing to the side with their heads down, seem even more unusual.

"Lord Fox Immortal ----"

"Lord Yi Yun ----"

"Lady Fox Immortal ----"

"Lady Yi Yun ----"

In an instant, four different names came out of the mouths of the eleven people, which made Yin Yunze pause in surprise.

There aren't that many gods here.

"You are all my subordinates; from now on, you can call me Lord Yi Yun."

After standardizing the way of addressing them, Yin Yunze's gaze first fell on the seven unknown girls. "6

What are your names?

My name is Er Ya ----

My name is Hu Niu ----

"I am Wu Niang ----"

"I am the Si Mei ----"

It wasn't entirely unexpected; Yin Yunze ended up with seven nicknames that were hard to pronounce.

Fortunately, Yin Yunze had anticipated this situation and was prepared. "Since none of you have formal names, and since you have joined my sect, I will bestow surnames and given names upon you. From now on, you will all be surnamed Hu, and your names will be based on the seven colors of the rainbow."

Of course, although he said he was well prepared, Yin Yunze still opted for the simplest approach possible.

Without intending to name them one by one, Yin Yunze waved his hand, and seven colored glass bracelets appeared on the ground in front of the seven girls.

"From now on, you will be named after the color of the bracelet in front of you. Remember, you must wear this bracelet on your wrist."

As long as the girls wear these colorful bracelets, Yin Yunze won't encounter the embarrassing situation of forgetting his name.

"Lord Yi Yun!"

Upon seeing the bracelets of various colors, the seven poor girls had never seen such jewelry before. Overjoyed, they thanked the presenters repeatedly before carefully wearing them on their wrists.

"Um, Lord Yi Yun— " Seeing this scene, Qi Rongrong looked at Yin Yunze expectantly and whispered, "I can change my name and surname, could you give me a bracelet too?"

Yin Yunze was also surprised that Qi Rongrong had such a unique way of thinking; she didn't even care about her name for a bracelet.

However, upon closer reflection, isn't this also a way to take the opportunity to express one's stance?

There's no need to change the name.

Without paying attention to what Qi Rongrong was thinking, Yin Yunze had already bought a few extra. Anyway, these glass bracelets weren't worth much, and with a flick of his wrist, a white bracelet appeared in front of Qi Rongrong.

"Lord Yi Yun!"

Seeing Qi Rongrong's overjoyed expression, Yin Yunze simply presented Zhang Yufei with a black bracelet as well.

"Lord Yi Yun ----"

Silently picking up the bracelet and putting it on, Zhang Yufei was no longer as carefree as before, appearing somewhat reserved.

Yin Yunze didn't seem to care, assuming that Zhang Yufei learned from Zhao Wan that it was actually Yin Yunze who had orchestrated this whole thing.

After greeting Zhao Wan, Yin Yunze Spirit Descent into her body.

To others, however, it appeared as an illusion of Green Hill Yi Yun entering Zhao Wan's body, causing a complete change in Zhao Wan's demeanor.

Although they already knew, seeing the change in Zhao Wan's expression, the group of girls were certain that the person who had accompanied them that morning was indeed the fox spirit herself.

Hearing the other girls' quiet gasps, Zhang Yufei lowered her head even further. Her expression was hidden, but the tips of her ears turned red.

Of course, Yin Yunze didn't care about Zhang Yufei's feelings at that moment.

Calming his mind and sensing the Earth Vein Power, Yin Yunze mobilized the Earth Vein Power for the first time, achieving an effect other than Earth Escape is a type of escape technique).

To the onlookers, all they saw was Yin Yunze closing his eyes and raising his hands.

The next moment, the ground shook, and two three-story buildings rose from the ground in the distance, appearing in front of everyone.

Even Sun Qin, upon seeing this scene, couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand.

Feeling the renewed solidification of Incense of Faith emanating from everyone, Yin Yunze led them to the two houses.

Turning to Sun Qin, Yin Yunze instructed, "Sun Qin, from now on these two houses will be your residence, and you will be in charge of managing them. You and Wan'er can choose one house to live in, and the others can each choose one room."

"Yes."

Sun Qin nodded upon hearing this.

Leading the group into one of the rooms, the most eye-catching feature was a round table that could seat more than ten people, along with matching chairs. Of course, due to the Earth Vein Power, these tables and chairs were all made of stone.

Upon reaching the table, Yin Yunze waved his hand, and more than ten different dishes appeared on the table.

"Consider this meal a welcome dinner for you. Now, Sun Qin, I'll leave the rest to you."

After giving the order to begin the meal, Yin Yunze returned to the mortal world and no longer disturbed their meal.

Having settled for dinner with the dishes that hadn't been delivered to that other world, and having paid for the tableware that had been transferred there, Yin Yunze arrived at a warehouse where supplies had been prepared.

The perspective shifts back to that world, and dinner here is drawing to a close.

As Yin Yunze transformed into the image of Green Hill Yi Yun once more, before the girls could react, he raised his hand, and a pile of various supplies appeared on the ground.

The most eye-catching items were hundreds of garments packaged in bags.

"Each of you take four pieces; these are the exclusive garments for those who serve me."

Upon hearing Yin Yunze's words, all the girls' eyes lit up. They had been envious all day long after learning that the red and white shrine maiden outfit Sun Qin was wearing was a special garment bestowed upon her by Yin Yunze.

Putting aside any special meanings, what girl doesn't love a beautiful new outfit!

Turning to Sun Qin, Yin Yunze continued, "You distribute the remaining items among them. Find a place to store any extras. That way, they'll have replacements if they break in the future."

After instructing the young witches, Yin Yunze also used the Earth Vein Power to move the three hundred knives and three hundred stab-proof vests over.

"There are three hundred knives and three hundred pieces of armor here."

Pointing to the equipment on the ground, Yin Yunze said softly, "Song Ran should have already told you about Upper Creek Village. Tomorrow, you, Song Ran, and Qi Siyuan will select two hundred men from the two villages, each given a weapon and a set of armor, to take over Upper Creek Village. Find a place to store the extra one hundred weapons and armor as well."

Although these pieces of equipment were ultimately never used, since they had already been bought, they should at least be put to good use.

Just then, Yin Yunze was already planning to upgrade the local military force, and he used this as an excuse to have each of the two villages send out one hundred people to form an armed group. A force of two hundred people was not to be underestimated in a county.

After that, maintaining order when large numbers of disaster victims came seeking food, or fighting off roving bandits and robbers, became their responsibility.

After all, Yin Yunze can't do everything himself.

"Zhang Yufei." After thinking for a moment, Yin Yunze took out a knife and tossed it to Zhang Yufei, instructing, "Tomorrow, you and Sun Qin will go to Upper Creek Village together. Your mission is to protect Sun Qin!"

That's the good thing about being Incense God. You don't need to care about how long you've known someone; just a glance at their level of faith is enough to trust them completely.

Based on Zhang Yufei's demonstrated fighting skills and faith, Yin Yunze was relatively at ease.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the task assigned to her by Yin Yunze, Zhang Yufei snapped out of her embarrassment and appeared somewhat excited.

As someone who practices martial arts, and specifically swordsmanship, Zhang Yufei instinctively drew her sword after responding to the call.

Looking at the patterns on the blade, Zhang Yufei flicked it with her finger, then casually twirled it before exclaiming with delight, "What a fine blade! Even among all the blades my master has collected, none can compare to this one!"

For the average person in the world with the skill level in knife forging, these modern knives costing around a hundred yuan are certainly good knives.

Zhang Yufei's obvious delight at acquiring the weapon clearly showed that Zhang Yushuang was more pleased with it than with the glass bracelet.

Looking at the nine girls in front of him, Yin Yunze couldn't help but feel a little emotional; finally, he wasn't fighting alone anymore.

However, everything is still in its early stages.

Whether it's winning over the hearts of the people in Upper Creek Village or solidifying the Land God Divinity in Lower Creek Village.

And then there was the need to train those two hundred soldiers in modern ways, and to deal with the continuous influx of disaster victims seeking food.

All I can say is that Yin Yunze feels he will be extremely busy from now on.

Moreover, it's not just a problem in this world; in the real world, Yin Yunze is also preparing to go abroad.

The battle with Grandfather Huang Three fully triggered Yin Yunze's fear of insufficient firepower.

Fortunately, Grandfather Huang Three's savings accumulated over the past hundred years gave Yin Yunze ample confidence to make the purchase.

This time, we don't want to bring back planes or tanks, but we should at least bring back a few armored vehicles.

If there had been an armored vehicle back then, would Yin Yunze have been chased all over the place by that Grandfather Huang Three?

Let's strike it head-on and see if Yin Yunze can't crush it!

How could a mortal being understand the tools of industry!
