American Comics: BOSS Invasion

The two snakes acted swiftly. Having identified their target, it took them less than three days to find a way to strike.

A classic plot, indeed a classic plot. The inertia of a story is always difficult to change easily.

Bai Suzhen took the initiative to approach Xu Xian, transforming wine into rain, meeting him at the Broken Bridge, and exchanging umbrellas.

With this combination of actions, Xu Xian was already dizzy, as if in a dream.

In this timeline, his identity was similar, only instead of being an unsuccessful student, he was an ordinary teacher in a private school.

Ever since he met Bai Suzhen, he had been absent-minded, walking as if on clouds.

Qi Shan did not interfere with Bai Suzhen's act of gratitude, although there was nothing commendable about the whole thing.

Moreover, he found Bai Suzhen's actions difficult to understand. From a modern perspective, receiving a huge benefit would have two outcomes: one, to be grateful from the bottom of one's heart and, after becoming successful, to help the other party in return;.

The other is to simply go all the way and kill the benefactor, thus eliminating the debt of gratitude.

However, this theory clearly does not work in this world. There seems to be a hidden rule in the universe. The intertwined destinies of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, it is hard to tell whether it should be called karma or predestined love.

In short, a thousand-year-old female demon with accomplished cultivation, a kind heart, and stunning beauty was desperately trying to win over a young scholar.

From acquaintance to understanding to commitment, the two of them did not spend more than three months together. Before the people around them could react, they got married at lightning speed and moved in together.

According to the normal storyline, Xu Xian, with Bai Suzhen's help, still opened Baoyantang.

Opening a shop requires money, so the case in Kunming happened smoothly.

In this way, Xu Xian's brother-in-law, Li Gongfu, suffered.

Inside the teahouse, people jostled shoulder to shoulder. The storyteller on the platform shouted hoarsely, while the regular and new customers below chatted enthusiastically.

"Has everyone heard? The government treasury was robbed! The magistrate is going crazy. He immediately sent out all the yamen runners and demanded that the case be solved within ten days."

"Do you know Li Gongfu, the constable? That old boy was too slow and was forcibly drafted by the magistrate. If the case can't be solved within ten days, I'm afraid his head will be lost!"

"I've heard about it too. I heard it was a full five thousand taels of silver! Good heavens, such a large sum of money, whoever gets it will be as rich as a pig!"

"Shh, keep your voice down! Do you not want to live? The yamen runners' eyes are red now. They'll chain up anyone who looks like a thief without asking any questions.

In these sensitive times, it's best to stay as far away as possible!"

Some shook their heads and sighed, wanting to protect themselves.

A young man carrying a teapot to refill water overheard and said with a smile, "The three of you are worrying unnecessarily. Constable Li has been in Yuhang County for so many years. Everyone on the streets gives him face.

Although stealing from the treasury is a major case, isn't it essentially just theft? I have a lot of confidence in Constable Li!"

The customers were curious, "Young man, you wander around the teahouse all day, not even taking a step outside. Why are you so confident in Constable Li?"

The young waiter chuckled, "You don't know this, but some time ago, a fortune teller named Wang Banxian came to Yuhang County, didn't he? His fortune-telling is very accurate. With a pinch of his fingers, he can clearly explain a person's past and present.

He can not only predict the past but also the future. Many people say that Wang Banxian is not a 'half-immortal' at all, but a 'full-immortal'."

"Last night, Constable Li came here to drink alone, looking disheartened and with red eyes, very scary. It was clear that he was holding back a bellyful of fire, not knowing where to vent it."

"The customers in the teahouse at the time were a little scared and quietly slipped away. Even the shopkeeper hid in the kitchen, leaving only me to serve him."

"Seeing that he was upset, I couldn't help but say a word and recommended Wang Banxian to him!"

"Constable Li slapped the table, and suddenly he understood. His tightly furrowed brow immediately relaxed. Not only did he not say much, but he also gave me two thousand taels of silver as a reward on the spot."

The young man said triumphantly, "Just watch the show. With Wang Banxian's help, wouldn't catching a mere thief be a piece of cake?"

The crowd looked at each other, their eyes filled with amazement. They were just ordinary people, busy with three meals a day, earning money to support their families. They had occasionally heard of Wang Banxian's name when chatting with neighbors, but they had not learned about him in detail. Now, hearing about it from the young man, they had a few more expectations.

This so-called Wang Banxian was actually the toad Wang Daoling.

About two weeks ago, he entered Yuhang County and Qi Shan sent a Shinigami to give him a token according to the rules.

Originally, he thought that this toad, born in the Xuanzong of Taoism, would inevitably be arrogant and self-important. If he dared to ignore the rules of the Jingling Court and hurt people, he wouldn't mind killing him in advance.

He was just a minor character, it made no difference whether he was there or not.

Unexpectedly, this Wang Banxian behaved very smoothly and worldly. Although he could not figure out the origin of the Shinigami, he could vaguely feel the special power on the Shinigami's body, which surprised him very much.

However, that was all. Then he happily accepted the token and left a trace of his aura.

This reaction made Qi Shan a little curious. If he remembered correctly, Wang Daoling should have relied on his martial power to try to make things difficult for Bai Suzhen several times.

He was arrogant and did things lawlessly.

In order to make money, he first put the poison on his body in the well, spreading the plague and strange diseases, and then came out in the name of a Taoist immortal, selling antidotes.

Bai Suzhen couldn't stand it. First, she used her cultivation to help treat the patients, and then she saw through Wang Daoling's tricks and played a trick.

Let this kid lose his rice while trying to steal a chicken.

All the money he had collected was compensated, and now the two sides had a big feud. Wang Daoling repeatedly troubled Bai Suzhen, and was finally directly killed by Bai Suzhen, who could no longer bear it.

A yamen runner shouted loudly, "Make way, make way, let Wang Banxian pass. The government is investigating a case. Can you afford to delay it?"

Wang Daoling swaggered in the middle, with four yamen runners on the left and right guarding him, his aura firmly in control.

Li Gongfu followed Wang Daoling with a flattering smile on his face, with a hint of ingratiation in his eyes, obviously having been tricked by Wang Daoling after a brief contact.
