Chapter 96: Doing a Good Deed Every Day

"Is it just my imagination, or have the young ladies of Three Pristine Peak become even more beautiful?"

"I have the same feeling, but they clearly haven't changed much from before. It's strange."

"Hehehe, you guys don't understand. Based on my years of being single, when a bright and beautiful young girl suddenly becomes radiant overnight, without any noticeable changes on the surface but with an inner charm and shyness of a young woman, there is only one possibility."

"We've cracked the case, it's the Sect Master's doing."

"Don't talk nonsense, the young ladies have just transformed, they are still children. Our Sect Master is not that kind of person."

"You're the one talking nonsense. How can we generalize about demons and humans? The Sect Master's ability to subdue demons and monsters is renowned throughout the ages. I've always taken him as my role model, okay!"

"I knew it. We Dao Cultivators uphold righteousness from heaven and earth, and our actions come with a moral high ground. Those idiots who chose to become Demon Cultivators or Monster Cultivators were destined to be subdued by us from the day they established their sects."

"It's a pity that we haven't seen any official promotional videos of the Sect Master's nightlife."

"That is indeed a pity."

"Pah, are you guys really interested in watching promotional videos? I'm embarrassed to even mention it."

"Enough already, you LSPs should also think about it. Since the birth of your ancestors until the generation of your fathers, the amount of erotic images they saw in their lifetime doesn't even compare to what you see in a single day. And you still think it's not enough?"

"True, I'm a filial child. My grandfather didn't have the means, and as for my father's generation... it's hard to say."

"Shh, look over there, the beauty has arrived again."

Seeing Hu San appear, the several gossiping chives squatting at the door stopped and quickly took screenshots to upload to the official forum.

Recently, Hu San's stunning photos were pinned to the top of the forum homepage, and her breathtaking beauty had an astonishing effect on everyone. As soon as she appeared, she surpassed all the fairy sisters and witch masters, claiming the top spot on the Nine Provinces Beauty List.

Her position was unshakable.

Although the gender of this beauty was still a mystery, it didn't matter. Players expressed that gender didn't matter, as long as she was beautiful.

There were also internet experts sharing magical links, opening a new world for ignorant players.

The Fox Demon and the Immortal Transformation Sect President's Secrets

The Fox Demon's Return of Favor

Two Men [Subtitle Group Translation]

Although it was originally a serious text, adding some symbols immediately changed the style, and curious players who didn't understand anything quickly clicked on the title. Their curiosity was rewarded with a fulfilling night.

"Ah-choo!"

As Hu San passed through the gate, she felt a chill and couldn't help but sneeze. Looking around, she saw a few silly sand sculptures laughing with their heads down, shaking her head and quickly walking towards the inner courtyard.

This broken mountain, the sect leader is so corrupt that black water is oozing out, and the disciples under the sect are incredibly foolish, beyond saving.

In the inner courtyard, Hu San, who has a deep connection with Hu Er, the little fox, showed a kind smile of an older brother and took out the Universe Bag, handing one to each person.

In terms of bloodline, these five are all his younger sisters!

"Big brother, where's my red envelope?"

Second brother Lu Bei approached and reached into Hu San's collar, but he didn't find anything and promptly left.

"Second brother, your things are here." Hu San chased after him to the stone table and took out a black robe with brocade patterns. After unfolding it, there was a golden token wrapped inside.

"So fast..."

Lu Bei picked up the token and examined it, teasing, "In just a few days, big brother, you've gone through the process quickly. Don't tell me there's no one on top. I can clearly see that it's a blind man making noodles, just nonsense."

"Lacking people, the process naturally goes quickly."

Hu San laughed it off and saw Lu Bei put away the Profound Moon Department token, already accepting his new identity, feeling secretly proud.

It's not that I'm afraid you're insatiable, but I'm afraid you're content with what you have. A person, as long as they have some trivial needs, is a person with weaknesses.

"Big brother, what about my case?"

"You're quite proactive, not bad, leave this to me."

Hu San nodded in satisfaction, displaying the demeanor of an older brother. He waved his hand and placed several case files on the stone table. "Second brother, as a newly appointed official, big brother can't bear to let you go too far. Langwu County is within Eastern Sun County. There's a pending case there that has been unresolved for half a year. You go and handle it."

"It's not far, just a bit remote," Lu Bei complained.

After transmigrating for more than half a year, he was no longer the geography blind person he used to be. He had long heard of Langwu County's remote location, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with rivers crisscrossing and perennial mist. It was often cloudy and produced poisonous insects.

Evil waters breed wicked people, and coupled with the harsh geographical conditions, it was difficult to manage due to inconvenient access. It was the least favored county in Eastern Sun County. Whoever was transferred to Langwu County as an official at the same level, without a doubt, had only focused on accompanying the higher-ups for drinks during the last gathering and forgot to take them to the bath.

"Don't complain. It's just a small case. You have two days to set off and ten days to arrive in Langwu County. If there's anything you don't understand in the case files, find a Red Sleeve Pavilion there, and someone will naturally discuss it with you."

Hu San smirked twice, patted Lu Bei's shoulder, and said, "Do well, your rise to prominence starts today. I have high hopes for you!"

After saying that, he staggered away, leaving Lu Bei alone to chew on the case files.

Half an hour later, Lu Bei furrowed his brows and put down the case files.

Eight months ago, the county magistrate of Langwu County died suddenly at home, poisoned. The local area was infested with poisonous insects, and the county governor's investigation confirmed that it was not a murder, so the case was closed.

A month later, the acting county magistrate, who was about to be officially appointed, died suddenly at home in the same manner as the county magistrate.

The situation was suspicious, so the county governor merged the two cases into one and ordered a thorough investigation to uncover the true culprit.

As the investigation progressed, the head catcher died suddenly at home in the middle of the night, also due to poisoning...

The situation gradually worsened, and the two high-ranking officials in Langwu County, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, secretly met to discuss how to handle the matter.

That night, the county lieutenant was poisoned and died.

Eastern Sun County quickly took action, and the Extreme Monarch Sect took over the case. After a thorough investigation, they identified the culprit - the county magistrate.

Poisonous insects were found in the county magistrate's home, and he secretly practiced insect repellent techniques. In addition, he had a strained relationship with the county lieutenant and disagreed with the county chief's policies. With physical evidence, murder weapons, and motives, he had no way to defend himself.

In theory, the case could have been closed at this point, but Eastern Sun County issued several documents requesting a re-investigation of the case, deliberately delaying the punishment of the county magistrate.

The reason was written in the case file. The county magistrate's surname was Zhu, and his name was Shiyin. He was a highly regarded descendant of the Zhu family in the capital.

The case file also indicated that Zhu Shiyin had served as the county magistrate for two years, diligently serving the people and achieving excellent political performance, earning the support of the local people. When the Extreme Monarch Sect tried to arrest him, the local people spontaneously formed a human wall, almost leading to a bloody conflict.

The county lieutenant and the county chief came from local prestigious families, representing different interests. Their conflicts could not be considered motives for the crime. The true culprit still needed to be investigated again.

On the side of the Extreme Monarch Sect, they reluctantly investigated the case twice more, but the evidence still pointed to Zhu Shiyin. They decided to distance themselves from the case, with the intention of watching the jokes from the capital, and handed it over to the Profound Moon Department.

"This is not an investigation, it's more like a retrial."

Lu Bei put away the case file and silently opened his personal panel, glancing at the information prompt.

[You have received the mission [Unsolved Suspicion Case]]

[Mission description: A case with ironclad evidence, repeatedly investigated due to conflicts between the Extreme Monarch Sect and the royal family. Are there hidden secrets or is it a case of good and evil being indistinguishable? Aren't you curious?]

[Main mission: Solve the case, reward 500,000 experience points]

[Main mission: Discover the truth of the case, apprehend the real culprit, reward based on contribution]

[Side mission: Not triggered]

[Accept?]

[Yes] [No]

Lu Bei took on the mission and muttered, "Not curious? With 500,000 experience points, there must be hidden secrets to uncover."

...

Outside the courtyard, on the bulletin board.

When the players saw Huo Meng posting a new notice, they stopped their alchemy work and gathered in groups.

"Our sect leader has gained some insights in his cultivation, contemplating the balance between stillness and action, and wishes to embark on a journey to seek breakthrough opportunities."

"Since you guys are always secluded and rarely engage in acts of kindness and virtue, I have issued a new decree. Starting from tomorrow, all those who cultivate at the Ascension Gate, regardless of whether they are outer disciples or not, must perform one act of kindness daily. If you have nowhere to go, you can go to the Jade Chime District."

[You have received the mission [One Act of Kindness a Day]]

[Note: Daily mission, refreshes the next day]

[Mission description: Cultivate and cultivate virtue. Do not refrain from doing good because it seems insignificant, nor engage in evil because it seems trivial. The sect leader requires his disciples to possess both moral character and cultivation. It's best not to oppose him.]

[Mission reward: 1,000 experience points, 800 copper coins]

[Accept?]

[Yes] [No]

"I'm going, the sect leader is giving us missions!"

"It refreshes daily, we can earn 1,000 experience points every day for free. I love the sect leader."

"It's useless, the sect leader already has someone he loves. You won't have a chance."

"Enough chit-chat, I'm going to check if there's an old lady ready to cross the road down the mountain."

"If you find one, remember to notify me when you come back up the mountain. Give me the mission, that counts as an act of kindness."

"What the hell, are you stuck here with a bug!"

...

A white mist enveloped the area, overflowing in clusters between the valleys, dispersing into a veil along the slopes, shrouding the distant mountains, making it impossible to see clearly.

A cool breeze blew along the river, lifting a corner of the veil, revealing a boat floating on the water, with the sound of gentle waves.

Lu Bei stood at the bow of the boat, wearing a black cloak with a black robe embroidered with patterns underneath. His sleeves were tied with a blue silk ribbon, and a embroidered knife hung from his waist, held by one hand.

Behind him, five stern-faced dead soldiers stood in a row, exuding an imposing aura.

People may be made of iron, but pressure is made of steel. One cannot pretend to be strong all day.

Unfortunately, there were no spectators, and he felt lonely even though he was pretending.

Thinking of the only spectator on the boat, Lu Bei turned around and walked into the dock, kicking open the door without caring if it was appropriate or not.

She Xuan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, wearing a black robe of a dead soldier. She listened to the familiar sound of the door being kicked, her aura undisturbed, showing no signs of being interrupted during her meditation.

The golden-scaled snake hissed and spat out its tongue, transforming into a golden lightning bolt, swiftly arriving on Lu Bei's shoulder. It shook its head and greeted him, then returned to She Xuan's side, assisting her in refining the source of her bloodline.

She Xuan increased her cultivation speed, while the golden-scaled snake extracted impurities from her bloodline, benefiting both parties. In a sense, this was also a form of dual cultivation.

Originally, Lu Bei didn't plan to bring She Xuan along, but she volunteered when she heard about Langwu County.

He thought that since he was unfamiliar with the place, there might be treacherous people with malicious intentions. He was worried about the safety of his Core Incubation Realm arms and legs, so sacrificing his Innate Realm teammates seemed more appropriate. He reluctantly agreed to her request.

But let it be clear, once they arrived in Langwu County, no matter what he said, She Xuan had to comply.
