Protect Our Clan Leader

Then, taking advantage of Cai Youdao’s unawareness, Jiang Yuling hugged Wang Shouzhe’s leg, rubbing her cheek against his waist like a cat, coquettishly whining, “Shouzhe, earlier I acted out to make you happy, letting you experience the feeling of arrogance and success. Was my performance good? Was it on point? Was it unexpected? Exciting?”

Wang Shouzhe twitched his thigh, pulling her away, looking at her with a half-smile: “Still want to cancel the contract?”

“Cancel the contract? Are you kidding!” Jiang Yuling exclaimed, filled with righteous indignation, “Am I, Jiang Yuling, someone who switches allegiances like that? Alive, I’m your person, Shouzhe, dead, I’m your ghost. From now on, if you tell me to go east, I definitely won’t go west. If you want me to warm your bed, I’ll be completely~~~bare.”

“Shouzhe, little one? Tiange, little sister, hehe~” Wang Shouzhe laughed joyfully.

“Shouzhe, I was wrong, hit me to vent your anger. Tiange, sister~~you are the most dignified True Immortal I’ve ever seen~”

“Alright, eat.” Wang Shouzhe waved his hand, too lazy to watch her antics anymore, sat down to start eating hotpot, and as he ate, he said, “You two master and apprentice, once you’re full, go back to work. Do what you need to do, slack off and you’re fired.”

“Yes, yes, eat, eat.” Cai Youdao hurriedly ducked his head to start eating, while eating, he stuffed the Immortal Sword back to Jiang Yuling, “From now on, out there, don’t claim to be ‘Immortal Monarch Zixia’, and don’t call me [Sacred Supreme of Seven Zixias]. I’ll be called Cai Youdao, you will be Jiang Yuling, and we’re just ordinary master and apprentice. We’ll slowly work our way up~~Master, pushing himself, will still raise you to Sacred Supreme.”

“Master… earlier, I was wrong and misunderstood you.” Jiang Yuling was somewhat moved hearing this, “By the way, you said you were seriously injured, is your condition improving now?”

“It’s stabilized, but I need to take Rank 9 Rejuvenation Pills long-term to maintain it.” Cai Youdao’s face turned serious, then remembered something else and thought aloud, “By the way, dear disciple, how much savings do we have on hand? My stock of Rejuvenation Pills seems to have run out, I need to go buy some more.”

“…” Jiang Yuling stood dumbfounded.

“No money, no problem, I can still endure a bit longer, at worst, my health will decline, life span will shorten, and I’ll be weak with blood-spitting.” Cai Youdao said with an indifferent expression.

“Waa~~”

Jiang Yuling finally couldn’t hold it in, bursting into tears.

What kind of karma did I, Jiang Yuling, create in my past life~

…

Meanwhile,

Divine Martial World.

Da Qian Empire, Longzuo County, Changning, Changning Guard, Xinping Town.

This town, almost the most bustling and densely populated in the Divine Martial World, is now filled with skyscrapers, busy traffic, and its population has grown several times over compared to one hundred and fifty years ago.

With more people, many issues naturally arise.

Over the years, with the explosive growth in population, the trend of people gathering in prosperous places has become more intense. As an economic hub, Xinping Town naturally attracted talents from the Immortal-Demon Dynasties and various nations.

The entertainment industry initiated by the Wang family has also seen tremendous development over the past one hundred and fifty years, with various short books and shadow plays flourishing, bringing significant funds to the Wang family.

Of course, such a large industry with huge economic benefits wouldn’t be exclusive to the Wang family.

In the early years, the short books that only circulated within the Wang family’s influence have now spread across the entire Divine Martial World, with more and more people participating in writing, gradually forming a huge industry.

The same goes for shadow plays.

Since Wang Ningxi’s first shadow play, more and more shadow plays have emerged. As the number of production teams and participants increased, the shadow play industry has formed a complete economic chain, with supporting upstream and downstream industries thriving.

Quite a few once-popular short books have now been adapted into shadow plays, appearing on screens.

However, with the industry’s rapid growth, related issues naturally emerged.

Due to the varied quality of production teams, many shadow plays and short books are quite mediocre, with some of them containing bad value orientations, and some even trying to stir up trouble through this medium.

For this reason, the Wang family once had headaches over this.

But now, these problems have been addressed.

On Shouzhe Avenue, a wide mighty skyscraper stands imposingly, solemn and majestic. The building facade clearly displays the words [Xinping Administrative Center].

This building is the power core of Xinping Town, serving functions similar to the earlier [Town Guard Mansion], where most administrative tasks in Xinping Town are now managed.

A newly hung sign outside the administrative center, quite large, with prominent fonts states—[Cultural Entertainment Review Office], abbreviated as [Entertainment Office].

The Entertainment Office occupies the entire forty-ninth floor of the administrative center. As of now, it has recruited about five hundred officials, and it is rumored that once the framework is complete, the total number will exceed two thousand.

Here, each administrative officer is busy handling countless tasks.

Wang Baosheng, surrounded by household guards and maids, hands behind his back, took the elevator to the forty-ninth floor.
