Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Comics to American Comics, a Powerful Attack

Page 366

When he returned from the Soul Palace, he had already been swallowed by the demon. In desperation, he activated the most powerful of the five elemental powers: the Thunder Spirit.

The explosion in the confined space, while fatal to the demons, also blew out all the filth from their bodies.

This almost suffocated Chu Yang, causing his brain to freeze instantly.

However, the so-called filth is not something like excrement or urine, but rather a unique source of power for demons, similar to blood, but more important than blood.

Normal people who come into contact with such people will most likely be transformed into the next demon.

"Senior brother, are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Guo Furong anxiously touched Chu Yang's body. "You must tell me if there's a problem."

"Are you blind?" Chu Yang shoved the filth off his body and cursed irritably, "You're already in this state, and you still ask me where you feel uncomfortable? Try putting this stuff on yourself and you'll know whether you feel comfortable or not."

Guo Furong looked aggrieved. She had meant well and cared about Chu Yang, but he didn't appreciate it at all.

"Young lady, why don't you let your senior brother take a shower first? If you stay any longer, he'll get too saturated with the smell!"

Bai Zhantang gagged while kindly offering a reminder.

"Big Mouth! Quickly pour some hot water from the kitchen and rinse this young hero over first, ugh..."

Tong Xiangyu started vomiting as she was talking.

Her vomiting triggered a chain reaction, and a group of people followed suit.

"Senior brother, ugh...you should go first...ugh..."

"Alright, you should vomit first before you speak!"

Chu Yang shook his head helplessly. Before Li Dazui could pour hot water, he went into the room first, closed the door, and washed his whole body with the power of water spirit.

A moment later, it was completely transformed inside and out.

"Um... young hero, you can sleep in Big Mouth's room tonight. Your junior sister will sleep upstairs with me, don't worry."

Tong Xiangyu's voice came from outside.

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

"No need, no need, we should be thanking you. You should get some rest."

After exchanging pleasantries, Tong Xiangyu's footsteps faded into the distance.

He couldn't sleep for long anyway, as dawn was already breaking, but Chu Yang still chose to take a nap.

While he wasn't physically exhausted, he was mentally tormented. The existence of the Soul Palace had also significantly impacted Chu Yang.

The chickens in the backyard were scared to death by the demon, so Chu Yang didn't hear any crowing the next morning.

However, a series of urgent knocks came from the main entrance of the lobby, waking Tong Xiangyu and the others who hadn't slept well from their dreams.

"It's killing me! Who's knocking on the door so early in the morning?!"

Tongfu Inn is closed today!

"I advise you to leave before I explode in my morning grumpiness!"

Because Chu Yang had taken over Li Dazui's room yesterday, they slept in the lobby with Bai Zhantang. The knocking startled the three of them.

They cursed for a while until Tong Xiangyu, wearing a thin gauze dress, stood on the second floor, frowning, and said, "Zhantang, go open the door."

"Okay!" Bai Zhantang immediately shut up and, before he was even dressed, eagerly opened the door.

Standing outside was a middle-aged man, dressed in official robes and wearing a black gauze hat. He was lean and had sharp eyes.

"Oh my goodness! Shopkeeper, Magistrate Lou is here!"

Bai Zhantang was so surprised that he backed away repeatedly. When he turned around, Tong Xiangyu was no longer on the second floor.

Magistrate Lou strode into the inn like a giant turtle, with a number of constables standing behind him.

Old Xing followed closely behind Magistrate Lou into the inn.

"Hurry up and serve tea to Magistrate Lou! Magistrate Lou came here specifically to issue a reward order to your Tongfu Inn."

Old Xing winked and grinned from ear to ear, his beaming expression clearly indicating he had been rewarded.

The demons and monsters were rampant in the Ming Dynasty, and the Divine Arrest Bureau alone was not enough to quell the chaos of demons and monsters throughout the land. Therefore, the government encouraged extraordinary people and people from all walks of life to participate, which led to the concept of reward orders.

All civilians who participate in the extermination of demons have the opportunity to receive a reward token, which is a symbol of status and allows them to obtain certain privileges. They can also make requests to the imperial court, provided they don't go too far, otherwise their reward token may be revoked.

Upon hearing the reward order, Bai Zhantang's pupils contracted. This thing could completely clear his past criminal record, allowing him to appear openly and honestly in front of the world from now on.

In an instant, his whole body trembled with excitement.

"Old Bai! Calm down!" Old Xing stepped forward and patted Bai Zhantang on the shoulder, chuckling softly, "It's just a reward order, look at you, so naive."

That's what they say, but when the reward order came down this morning, Old Xing almost fainted. He was many times more excited than Bai Zhantang.

Chapter 168. The Emperor's Thoughts!

168.

In just a short while, Lu Xiucai had already poured tea for Magistrate Lou, his movements unusually swift.

Meanwhile, Magistrate Lou held Li Dazui's hand and chatted about everyday things.

Magistrate Lou was Li Dazui's uncle, a fact known to everyone in Qixia Town. However, everyone also knew how much Magistrate Lou looked down on Li Dazui, so they didn't take it seriously.

But today is different. With Magistrate Lou's arrival, everyone along the way learned about Tongfu Inn's extermination of the demons.

This is no small matter; it could even affect Magistrate Lou's career. At this moment, Li Dazui is no different from Magistrate Lou's own nephew.

The two chatted happily, like a long-lost father and son, until Tong Xiangyu's appearance broke the atmosphere.

Tong Xiangyu had already changed into proper clothes and, pulling Guo Furong downstairs, greeted Magistrate Lou. Magistrate Lou finally let go of Li Dazui's hand and instead shook Tong Xiangyu's hand...

"Manager Tong is beautiful and intelligent, and all her employees are capable people. With talents like you around, Qixia Town can only get better and better!"

Magistrate Lou began by offering words of comfort to the crowd in a commanding tone, which was part of the formality. After saying the polite words, he then began to bestow rewards upon the crowd on behalf of the Emperor.

Everyone knelt down.

As if remembering something, Tong Xiangyu quickly said, "There's another person in the backyard."

Magistrate Lou was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then you should call him quickly. This is a big deal. If you miss it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

Just as Tong Xiangyu was about to get up, Guo Furong stopped her, shaking her head and saying, "Don't waste time. My senior brother won't come. He's hated this kind of scene more than anything since he was a child!"

"How can this be?!" Tong Xiangyu exclaimed excitedly, "Ordinary people never even get to see a reward order in their entire lives; this is a rare opportunity!"

“I have plenty of similar things at home.” Guo Furong stood up, feeling a bit bored, and complained, “When I was little, my dad used to spank me with these things all the time. I couldn’t even dodge them. I didn’t want them at all.”

Magistrate Lou was a seasoned official, and he could tell from Guo Furong's demeanor that she was not lying, so he asked curiously, "Who is your father?"

Guo Furong openly revealed the name of Guo Juxia.

Anyway, this adventure in the martial world is coming to an end, so there's no need to keep it a secret any longer.

Given the intelligence capabilities of the Six Doors, Guo Juxia must have known about last night's events before Magistrate Lou. Guo Furong thought he might already be on his way.

After Guo Furong introduced herself, the inn fell into a brief silence, followed by gasps of surprise.

Even the usually composed Magistrate Lou couldn't help but change his expression drastically.

I thought the other party might have some connections, but I didn't expect their connections to be this strong!

Magistrate Lou's eyes darted around and he laughed loudly, "It was my rudeness. So you are the beloved daughter of Master Guo. I have long heard that Master Guo has a beautiful daughter. Seeing you today, I can confirm that she lives up to her reputation."

A smile spread across Guo Furong's face; she was always happy to be praised.

The way Old Xing looked at Magistrate Lou was as if he were looking at an idol. In such a short time, he had learned the way to get promoted.

His flattery skills were nothing compared to those of Magistrate Lou.

To be able to please the target so well in such a short time, one can only say that Magistrate Lou is very experienced.

"You can keep this reward, but I'll pass. I don't feel comfortable taking anything from the Divine Arrest Bureau."

Guo Furong refused again.

Considering the irreconcilable conflict between the Six Doors and the Divine Arrest Bureau, Magistrate Lou immediately understood and stopped pressuring the matter, bestowing the reward upon Tong Xiangyu and the others.

At this moment, these people could be considered to have brought honor to their ancestors.

It wasn't just Bai Zhantang who needed this; for Lü Xiucai, with the reward in hand, even if his imperial examination results were mediocre, he could still become an official and fulfill the high hopes his ancestors had placed on him.

Meanwhile, just as Guo Furong had predicted, Guo Juxia was already on his way to Qixia Town.

Besides him, several other groups are also on their way.

Such a large-scale mobilization is for no other reason than this.

It was all for the sake of Prince Chu Yang.

Beijing.

Inside the Forbidden City, in the Imperial Study.

There are three people in the room.

The current emperor sat at his desk reading the official gazette containing news about Chu Yang, while two powerful eunuchs stood beside him.

Cao Zhengchun, the head of the Eastern Depot, and Wei Zhongxian, the chief eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial.
