Setting Out
After giving time back to the mother and daughter, Yin Yunze returned to the real world, scrolled through some videos, and then returned to that world right on time.
Seeing that Sun Qin and Zhao Wan were ready, Yin Yunze greeted them and then Spirit Descent into Zhao Wan's body.
After taking the special belt he had prepared from the real world and adjusting it to the most suitable angle, Yin Yunze turned to Sun Qin, who was standing guard to the side, and instructed her, "Take me to see Song Ran."
Sun Qin had doubts about Yin Yunze's request, but she didn't say anything.
After a silent journey, Yin Yunze was led by Sun Qin to a house that was clearly above the average standard in the village.
However, while it's said to be "more than", it's really just a difference between a two-story building and a single-story house; it's not so exaggerated as to have maids or servants.
Whether he was truly not that rich or was simply hiding his true abilities, Yin Yunze didn't care.
The gate was wide open, and you could see a girl of about sixteen or seventeen carrying a toddler on her back, sitting on a stool picking wild vegetables.
Hearing footsteps, the girl subconsciously looked up. Upon seeing Yin Yunze and Sun Qin enter, she quickly stood up, somewhat flustered, and said, "Immortal Maiden Sun, and Little Fairy, what brings you here?"
Although Yin Yunze only possessed Zhao Wan twice a day, for less than half an hour each time, the frequency was so high that over the course of the month, he would inevitably encounter people who happened to be looking for Sun Qin and discovered this.
As time went on, others noticed something was amiss, and the nickname "Little Fairy" spread.
Seeing Sun Qin and Zhao Wan arrive together, the young girl was naturally terrified.
Seeing the girl's expression, Sun Qin said softly, "Don't worry, Song family daughter-in-law. I'm here to see your father-in-law. Go and call him out; there's nothing for you here."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yunze glanced at the girl in surprise.
Yin Yunze had assumed the girl was Song Ran's daughter. He never imagined she was Song Ran's daughter-in-law. Who knows, the child behind her might be her child.
In the real world, she's still in high school, but in this ancient society, she's already a mother.
"Yes! Yes!" Upon hearing this, Song's daughter-in-law quickly responded, then turned and walked inside, calling out, "Father-in-law! Immortal Maiden Sun and Fairy Zhao are here to see you! Please come out and greet them!"
As Song's daughter-in-law darted into the room as if fleeing, Song Ran soon emerged from the house.
The Song family's daughter-in-law, however, left a pile of wild vegetables on the ground and hid in the inner room, too afraid to come out.
Ordinary people still hold Sun Qin in considerable awe for her status as a fairy. Especially after the incident with the water thief, Sun Qin, who once used Fox Fire, is now being touted by the villagers as a true immortal who can burn down a river with a wave of her hand.
Zhao Wan, who was possessed by Yin Yunze, clearly did not look like an ordinary child.
The sight of two spirit mediums, one older and one younger, arriving together was incredibly unsettling for a teenage girl; she was likely to have nightmares for days.
"Good morning, Immortal Maiden Sun!"
Song Ran, on the other hand, was much calmer. Although she had offended the fox spirit a month ago, the matter had long since passed.
After all, Yin Yunze had also performed a miracle during this month, replenishing the water supply for Clear Creek Village once.
Of course, since Yin Yunze was busy with practical matters at the time, he was too lazy to do anything fancy. In addition, he happened to be in a coastal city, so he took advantage of the night to directly fill Clear Creek Village with some water from the mouth of a large river.
However, when the villagers woke up, they were astonished to Celestial Person that the Clear Creek had been silently overflowed, providing Yin Yunze with a surge of Incense of Faith.
After this incident, without any explanation, the villagers knew that Yin Yunze had calmed down.
Song Ran felt that he had been behaving himself during this time and had not done anything to displease the fox spirit or Sun Qin.
Since he had nothing to hide, Song Ran assumed Sun Qin had something to discuss when she came to his door. He didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly, "I know you don't come here unless there's a reason. May I ask what brings you here today?"
Sun Qin didn't waste any words, stepping aside to let Yin Yunze pass, and said, "It's not me who's looking for you today, but Lord Yi Yun!"
"Then I wonder, what are your orders, Lord Fox Immortal?" Song Ran wasn't surprised, after all, Sun Qin did this kind of work. If Sun Qin came here on Yin Yunze's orders, Song Ran would be a little puzzled.
Sun Qin's words carry more weight in the village now than even the village chief's.
"Let Lord Yi Yun tell you himself."
As she said this, Sun Qin took a few steps back, stood behind Yin Yunze, and lowered her head.
"You, this..." Seeing Sun Qin's posture, Song Ran was immediately puzzled, and couldn't help but think of the recent rumors about Zhao Wan.
"Song Ran, how is your father's grain store doing?"
Yin Yunze didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to asking the question he was most concerned about.
"Xiao Wan'er, you..."
Looking at Yin Yunze, Song Ran both puzzled and shocked.
Seeing Song Ran's reaction, Yin Yunze didn't bother to say anything more. He extended his index finger towards Song Ran, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered at his fingertip. The next moment, a ball of green Fox Fire appeared out of thin air, burning in mid-air without any support.
"I ask, you answer, don't interrupt!"
"Lord Fox Immortal calm your anger!"
With a gasp, Song Ran immediately understood the situation and quickly said, "My father's grain store in the county town is in dire straits! Since losing his grain supply to you, he can only sell a limited amount each day."
"After more than a month of this, I couldn't take it anymore. When I went to the county a couple of days ago, I even advised my dad to just go back to the village! You and Immortal Maiden Sun Lord Fox Immortal are both magnanimous and won't hold a grudge about some unpleasantness from before..."
After briefly introducing the situation of the grain store, Song Ran began to speak well of Song Zhao.
It was one thing to make money before, but now Song Zhao is stuck in the county town doing thankless work and is unable to extricate himself from the situation.
Hearing this, Yin Yunze was a little surprised. How could Song Zhao still be running that shop after more than a month?
In fact, Yin Yunze's question was more about finding a safe place to stay once he entered the county town.
After all, Yin Yunze couldn't possibly Spirit Descent Zhao Wan's body all day long. Putting aside everything else, a body in the real world still needs to eat, drink, and relieve itself.
Not to mention, Yin Yunze couldn't very well tell Zhao Wan to stay awake all the time, could he?
Once Yin Yunze dispelled the Spirit Descent, Zhao Wan would revert to being an ordinary little girl.
Even if Yin Yunze leaves behind protective characters, Zhao Wan might not be able to use them effectively. Therefore, having a safe place to stay is relatively important.
Having agreed to Sun Qin's request, Yin Yunze now had to consider Zhao Wan's safety.
Yin Yunze didn't care how Song Zhao had managed to survive until now. After learning that the grain store was still there, he said directly, "Take me to see your father."
"... Of course, no problem." After a slight hesitation, Song Ran readily agreed, but then cautiously asked, "May I ask what brings you here, Lord Fox Immortal? Ah, if it's inconvenient to answer, then just pretend I didn't ask!"
Yin Yunze could have chosen not to answer this question, but to prevent Song Ran from becoming suspicious and causing further trouble, Yin Yunze gave a reason.
Of course, Yin Yunze couldn't admit that he was there to recoup his losses, so he used a prepared excuse.
"To cure illness."
"To cure an illness?" Song Ran asked with some doubt, "I haven't heard of any major epidemic there! Lord Fox Immortal, who are you going to cure? What illness?"
"The people! The disease of hunger!"
After answering again, Yin Yunze looked at Song Ran, flicked the Fox Fire at his fingertips, and said, "You asked too many questions! Now, let's set off!"
"Yes!"
She hurriedly responded and darted out a step before Song Ran realized what Yin Yunze meant.
Curing the people's hunger? To put it bluntly, isn't this just about selling grain?
No wonder people are asking how Song Zhao's grain store is doing.
After figuring this out, Song Ran's enthusiasm surged considerably.
However, little did Song Ran know that once he could personally go to the county town, Yin Yunze would have no need to suffer the hardship of selling grain to exchange money.
Of course, although the main purpose was not to sell pig feed, opening up sales channels for pig feed was also one of Yin Yunze's goals.
Pig feed isn't like rice; you can't just put it out there and expect people to rush to buy it immediately.
It will take some time for people to accept pig feed as food, so we might as well do it all at once.
