Heavenly Dao Formula

...

When Li Zhe came back, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Xia Fan also packed his things, and left the Privy Council Mansion on horseback with Hu Yao and Shan Hui. Recently, because he has a lot of business to deal with, the frequency of his overnight stay at Fengyang Villa has also increased.

"Lord Xia, I don't quite understand," Shan Hui asked on the way out of the city, "Since the bureau is short of people, and there are quite a few women in the drunken brothel who can read and write, why don't you just seal the brothel and put the Are they all brought to the mansion?"

"Because not everyone is willing to leave a familiar place, even if it is a cage." Xia Fan whispered.

"... Will it?" Shan Hui showed a little puzzled, "Even when you go out, there are people guarding you. If you want to take a few steps, you can't do it. I feel bored staying in such a place for a whole day."

"Silly dog, what's so strange about this." Li pressed on his bamboo hat, "You will understand when you are hungry for ten and a half months."

"That's the truth," Xia Fan said with a nod. "No matter how bad a drunken brothel is, at least the Qing people don't have to worry about food and clothing in it. Most of the girls were sold in as children, and many people should remember it." It is not so easy to get them to climb over the courtyard wall and see the strange world outside.”

In a sense, strangeness is no different from fear.

"Oh, that's really a pity..."

"So Miss Liu came at the right time." Xia Fan smiled slightly, "They dare not step over the courtyard wall. Another reason is that those who did this have been severely punished. Even if the new policy is promulgated, the inertia of the past still exists .If you want to reverse this situation, setting an example is undoubtedly the most effective way."

"They will see with their own eyes that not only no one dares to punish them, but they will also get generous rewards after stepping over that courtyard wall. Although the outside is still a strange place, at least they have a goal to emulate, Or... the lighthouse. The path Miss Liu walked will become a practical choice."

"I see." Shan Hui suddenly shook his tail.

"There will definitely be people who will continue to stay in Zui brothel, but as long as one person decides to leave, there will be another role model. These examples will not only affect Zui brothel, but the entire Shenzhou." Xia Fan said with emotion, "This The process will definitely lead to countless conflicts, so when recruiting staff, the Bureau must put "will" in the most important position, and only with the support of will can the spread be unstoppable."

"Like a flame burning on the grassland?" Li raised his eyebrows.

The latter's heart moved slightly, "...Yes, this is the fire of the prairie fire."

The two looked at each other for a long time, until a fat cat with black eyes and white eyes climbed onto the fox demon's shoulder, opened its mouth and yawned at Xia Fan.

That expression seemed to be obstructing the eye contact.

But in the next second, Li lifted the back of the cat angrily and threw it out.

"Meow----!"

Xia Fan couldn't help but be astonished, wild cats are generally extremely shy, how did this guy get close to the moving mount and climb onto the fox demon?

What's even more incredible is that the fat cat didn't turn around and run away after being thrown out, but landed with a flexible backflip and continued to chase the horse.

"Since when did you have a cat?"

"I don't have that much time to spare." Li sighed, "This is a cat spirit."

"Cat spirit?" Xia Fan was stunned, and suddenly remembered that there was a special species that was indeed not included in the classification of demons and ghosts. Li had mentioned their name a long time ago - spirit, or spirit monster. "You mean... this cat is the one who senses qi among cats?"

"It's not wrong to understand it that way." Li nodded, "Although they are not common, spirits do exist. Master said that they also have natural magic, but the effect is much worse than alchemy."

"Then can they talk?"

"Sense of qi can't improve the intelligence of spirits, they are still animals in essence."

Xia Fan turned his head and looked at Mao Jing curiously, and the latter also bared his fangs at him, as if he didn't seem to be unreasonable.

"Was it in Jinxia City before? Why did it suddenly stick to you?"

"This is the proof that Master Li's ability is growing." Shan Hui continued, "Just like humans tame horses and cattle and sheep, demons also have a natural affinity for spirits. The stronger the ability, the more spirits you can attract... However, this is the first time I have seen a cross-border influence like Mr. Li."

"Cross-border?" Xia Fan smacked his lips, "Is there a classification for finesse?"

"Of course, my lord." Shan Hui affirmed, "For example, Ning Qing and Ning Hong, most of the spirits they can tame are aquatic, because it is said that ghosts originate from water. Master Li is a fox demon, so he should only be able to control fox spirits It's just... I didn't expect that even cat spirits would be attracted here. You deserve to be the boss who will become the leader of ten thousand monsters!"

"The head of what?" Xia Fan looked at Li unexpectedly.

And Li's cheeks began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, "No, it's nothing..."

"Master Li said that as the most intelligent monster—"

"Stupid dog, shut up!" She gritted her teeth and leaned towards him.

"Boss, what are you going to do?" Feeling the murderous aura, Shanhui couldn't help but turned into a tengu form, and sped forward to flee, "Isn't that what you told me? Even overseas elves and demons can't escape you control-"

"I told you to shut up!" Li Suo jumped off his horse and chased after him.

"Meow!" The fat cat also spread its four legs and ran at full speed.

In an instant, only Xia Fan with a confused face was left on the street.

...

two days later.

Liu Ruyan pushed open the door, walked into her "new residence", and put the rice porridge and grilled fish that she had just bought on the dining table in the hall.

This was the third day after she left the drunken brothel. She had thought that she would have a longer period of discomfort and was even prepared to suffer, but unexpectedly the actual situation was a little better than her most optimistic expectation.

The Bureau not only provided low-cost housing for reserve officials, but also took meals into consideration. Just to the south of the accommodation area, there is a restaurant that provides meals for those who live here.

In fact, she didn’t know if it should be called a restaurant—because it didn’t provide a lobby or a private room for people to sit down and eat, but prepared pots or earthen pots by herself, and asked the chef to fill whatever she wanted, and then brought it back to eat . At the same time, what is used to pay the bill is not money, but food stamps. This kind of ticket has to be exchanged for the same amount of silver at the secretariat. Although it takes an extra trip every month, it is much more convenient to use.

The restaurant offers three rounds of sales every day, namely Chenshi, Noon and Youshi. Whether the price is expensive or not Liu Ruyan is not sure, but the taste is much better than the ones in Zui brothel, especially the grilled fish... She never knew before that grilled sea fish can be so delicious.

Moreover, she no longer had to look at Mammy's face to eat.

She decides what she wants to eat and how much she wants to eat every day.

Even the process of going to a restaurant to eat has become a very interesting thing.

There are many more joys like this.

After no one controlled her every move, Liu Ruyan felt indescribably comfortable and at ease - if she only thought that she would not regret it when she left the drunken brothel, now it all turned into happiness.

Fortunately, she mustered up the courage that day and stepped into the gate of the secretariat.

Because of this, Liu Ruyan knew that now was not the time to relax, the school would start the first class in five days, and she had to go all out to live up to the appointment of Mr. Fu Cheng.

After breakfast, she opened the supplementary textbook.

A series of strange letters called "Pinyin" appeared before her eyes.
