Chapter 131: Demon Realm River Flood Harvest Shade Zone
Aunt’s whole family is quite annoying, but it’s not to the point of killing them.
Taking this opportunity, first draw a clear line to prevent them from exploiting Li Ye’s name for benefits in the future.
And some relatives also took this opportunity to rise with the tide.
Li Ye is not the hope of the entire village, but during his martial arts training, he did receive quite a bit of help from relatives.
Since that’s the case, give back what he can.
Though not enough to turn family dogs into official dogs, in Ningjiang, it’s really not hard for him to do something.
At this point, he was too lazy to pretend, directly asking his parents if they wanted to live more easily.
But after thinking it over repeatedly, his parents still refused.
Having worked for ten or twenty years, suddenly letting go was still a bit unadaptable.
The caution of ordinary people made them not dare to be too high-profile, and they couldn’t imagine how to be high-profile, still living like ordinary people, just without worrying about money.
In a small city, living comfortably is enough.
Besides Mother’s old Liu family, their old Li family also received feedback; although the money provided here was less, the high-quality ingredients and daily help were plentiful.
Otherwise, relying only on his parents’ salary, the 200,000 in debt couldn’t be cleared.
The old Li family’s relatives weren’t snobbish; of course, they also had no money, with average economic conditions. The difference was that Li Ye was the only child, while they each had three or four.
They didn’t attend martial arts school, but dietary supplements were unavoidable, since the Guiding Method also required dietary supplements, which took up a large part of family expenses.
For this, Li Ye treated everyone equally; those who wanted to learn martial arts, he helped them all train, and for ingredients, he essentially covered them.
As for the older generation, no need for Li Ye to arrange himself; naturally, someone would approach them—those who wanted to do business could do business, those who wanted an easier job could switch.
Chickens and Dogs Ascend to Heaven isn’t quite there yet, but improving life is achievable now.
Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday, Li Ye taught together with the peers from both Li and Liu families, just determining suitable Training Methods for them.
At this stage, relying on massive dietary supplements and rigorous training was enough; it was just about how to pair the ingredients and the experiential judgment of the most effective training methods.
Many martial arts school masters on the market actually taught the same way; Li Ye was just more proficient.
He didn’t even need to check daily; just one glance, and he knew what to supplement each day. Following his method for supplements and diligently cultivating the Training Method, they would definitely Break Through Dragon Gate within the stipulated time.
Normal talent, like Deng Hao, Jia Dong, and his former self.
Not unable to Break Through Dragon Gate, just required spending a lot of money, but compared to the millions in consumption, Li Ye’s side only needed providing ingredients, not very expensive.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after the Lantern Festival, early in the morning he arrived at the Disinfection Bureau entrance in casual clothes, waiting.
Waiting together were Sun Shun and Huang Qingyi.
They didn’t go home for Chinese New Year; Sun Shun was used to it—over the years, half of the time he didn’t go home for Chinese New Year; the closer to the end of the year, the more demonic creatures needed watching, since Chinese New Year was when people were most numerous.
Especially since the Information Section was short half its people without replacement, they had to work overtime on duty even more.
Huang Qingyi was even more so; currently, the city only had him, others were in counties and districts, but with the Disinfection Bureau’s elevated status in Ningjiang City, it linked with other departments, easing quite a bit of pressure.
“Bureau Chief Li.”
Seeing Li Ye, Sun Shun smiled and said, “Zhong Chang from Jinze City contacted me; his meaning is, since Jinze City Disinfection Bureau is reorganizing, can the remaining Information Section be transferred to us?”
“What’s your opinion?” Li Ye asked.
“My opinion is yes; it can perfectly fill our Information Section and add a third information room; in the future, intelligence-checking branches will be more detailed.”
“Then do that; after Jinze City reorganizes, have Zhong Chang come over.”
Li Ye chuckled, turning to Huang Qingyi, “Our Secretary Huang, this year didn’t seem so pleasant; originally many people were to host banquets for you, but it turned into eating alone.”
“Bureau Chief Li, don’t tease me.”
Huang Qingyi gave an embarrassed laugh, “They’ve been a bit carried away lately; just right to use this opportunity to give them a knock. During Chinese New Year, I didn’t put in much effort; they were the ones running around.”
Huang Qingyi rose with Li Ye in Ningjiang, flattered daily by martial artists, earning the nickname ‘Secretary Huang’; originally during Chinese New Year he should have been banqueted too.
But during this time, Ningjiang martial artists suddenly prevented demonic creatures more diligently than before; banquets were gone, but he was also more relaxed.
It was just strange; these people preventing demonic creatures was like a rooster laying eggs—not their job, yet they insisted on doing it.
Upon asking further.
They had offended Bureau Chief Li.
The cause was their family children; to show attitude, it led all Ningjiang martial artists to act, from old to young, as long as martial artists, all came to prevent demonic creatures.
“If they like doing it, do more.”
Li Ye smiled: “Tell them the matter is past; the rest is up to them, but… this is also a punishment method.”
“Uncle Sun, note this: for Ningjiang martial artists who do nonsensical things but not worthy of death, give them an order to serve as Disinfection Officer for a while. Martial artists have such vigorous energy; it needs a place to expend.”
Shortage of people is chronic.
Treatment can’t match theirs, so naturally short on people, and now with Jinze City reorganization added, even less possible to transfer manpower to Ningjiang.
In a situation of insufficient people, this method can also solve manpower shortage.
As long as Information Section has enough people, then have one Disinfection Officer lead the team, ensuring those martial artists handling demonic creatures don’t cause major influence.
“There really is a suitable candidate.”
Sun Shun smiled: “Bureau Chief Li, that Zheng Jun who attacked the Disinfection Bureau last time—isn’t it good to use this chance to let him out?”
“Zheng Jun?”
Li Ye was stunned, then remembered, “Oh, that one I named to go to jail, did he?”
“Sentenced, three years; originally he wasn’t convinced, kept dragging. But after your last trip to Jinze City, he obediently requested sentencing; now just started serving.”
That Taibao Zheng wasn’t just unconvinced as Sun Shun said; he completely didn’t take it seriously.
He couldn’t beat Li Ye, but planned to compensate for destroying Disinfection Bureau buildings, then directly return to Jiuma.
Public Security Bureau couldn’t handle as Li Ye said; Disinfection Bureau doesn’t follow rules so not protected by rules—this matter on regulations was really just compensation, and because of damaging Sanitation Bureau buildings.
But after Jinze City news leaked, Zheng Jun slunk back himself, stayed at Public Security Bureau refusing to leave, with a look like if you don’t sentence me it’s killing me.
As for insufficient evidence.
Against Li Ye, if not evidence, he directly assaulted the Public Security Bureau Chief, even if just moving a hand, but the charge existed, so sentenced to three years, now in prison.
“Then serve three years here for labor reform.”
Li Ye said: “In the future, handle all this way: sentence at Public Security Bureau, then directly to Disinfection Bureau.”
Just right to discipline those martial artists; as for the gravely wicked.
They would have died early, not left for sentencing.
Buzz!
While talking, a helicopter descended from the sky, this time steadily landing at the Disinfection Bureau main entrance; cabin door opened, revealing Fan Tie’s smiling face.
“Hand it to you; I’m heading out.”
Li Ye said, then entered the cabin; the helicopter took off again, flying north.
Inside the plane, Fan Tie grinned at him, “Happy New Year.”
“Year’s over, and didn’t you return to the military region?” Li Ye asked strangely.
“Not that fast; Demon Realm matter just stabilized, I’m still helping, but I handed off Ningjiang Experience Points first.”
Fan Tie still pulled out a tablet, “You’re the party involved and Disinfection Bureau Chief, have permission to see; look first.”
Two pieces of information above; first was Jinze City’s Demon Realm.
Demon Realm named [Wanli Earth Marrow Field], rated small-scale, minimum entry realm Three Dragon Gates, produced resources high-quality refined ore stone material; pure ore annual output not low, tens of thousands of tons, very good for a small Demon Realm.
Two demonic creatures also named: No.1 demonic creature ‘Copper Corpse Craftsman’, No.2 demonic creature ‘Ore Maggot Mother’.
“That Snake Demon you killed, from your description, investigated clear: a resentment aggregation. Called Snake Demon, but experts say more like ‘whip’, a whip’s whip.”
“Ming Dynasty Zhang Grand Chief Minister’s Single Whip Method implementation incomplete; silver expensive grain cheap and fire consumption bred resentment among people, plus this place had an accident in Wanli year, thus formed.”
“Originally leaving it alone was fine, but Chen Family always deducted from workers, and one worker’s death turning into demonic creature’s resentment perfectly matched this Demon Realm, so connected, causing Demon Realm formation.”
Hearing this, Li Ye looked at Fan Tie, “Demon Realms form this way?”
“One of them; formation conditions varied wildly; rather than guessed by people, any absurd reason has a matching Demon Realm.”
Fan Tie spread his hands, “From ancient times to present, inside to outside, eternal. But Heavenly Emperor once said something; have you heard?”
Li Ye shook his head.
Shenzhou’s founder titled ‘Heavenly Emperor’; he only knew this, not the specific name, let alone what he said.
“He said demonic creatures and Demon Realms are a kind of resistance.”
Li Ye’s heart tightened, subconsciously gripping the tablet.
He was stunned for a while, then shook his head, smiling: “Indeed.”
City demonic creatures’ formation, those with records in classics all had reasons; none born from nothing.
Ren Family used Skin-Peeling Demon to eat so many people, white bones under the ground; those eaten couldn’t resist, but the pollution they produced forming demonic creatures was undoubtedly a resistance.
“Just soured; before this resistance stirs, extinguish the source, prevent recurrence.” Li Ye said.
Fan Tie paused, then smiled: “Your Disinfection Bureau’s main duty is exactly that.”
Li Ye’s mouth curved up, looking down at the tablet’s second information.
Also Demon Realm information.
[River Flood Harvest Shade Zone], rated small-scale, minimum entry realm Six Dragon Gate, produced resources mainly crops.
Formed five years ago, pollution stabilized three years ago, now designated control zone, removing pollution inside.
Location Yingcang City in northern Jianghuai Province, also Li Ye’s destination this time.
