The blood hunter glanced around and lowered his voice.

“I want to breed them. I want to breed my Giant-Headed Bloodhound with a wild Giant-Headed Bloodhound from Maple Leaf Forest to produce new Giant-Headed Bloodhound puppies. As far as I know, a Giant-Headed Bloodhound can have at least three to five puppies in a litter. If I train them well, they’ll be enough to work with me until I retire.”

After a pause, the blood hunter glanced at Fang Yue, “If Vice-Captain Ye is interested, I can give you a puppy. The condition is that you have to help me in Maple Leaf Forest and let the two Giant-Headed Bloodhounds breed successfully.”

Breeding…

Fang Yue asked in confusion, “Can you force that?”

The blood hunter chuckled, “You can’t use common sense to measure a ghost hunter. Just cooperate with me when the time comes, and leave the rest to me.”

“…Okay, it’s settled then.”

“Mm.”

With that, the blood hunter took out 5g of black ember and handed it to Fang Yue.

“Deposit.”

“Then I won’t be polite.”

Fang Yue quickly accepted it. With this, he would have 10g of black ember, which would allow the parchment to answer 10 questions…

[Pay off debt!!]

Sensing the words that suddenly appeared in his mind, Fang Yue’s face darkened.

…Okay, 9 questions.

He still owed the parchment 1g of black ember from before.

After saying goodbye to the blood hunter, Fang Yue fed 1g of black ember to the parchment.

Words quickly appeared on the parchment.

[I am Fang Yue, I have paid off my debt, destroyed the IOU, and the great and noble parchment is very happy!]

[Therefore, the great and noble parchment has increased my favorability by 1 point!]

…Who wants your favorability? Shut up!

Fang Yue ignored it, put the parchment away, and walked towards the guardhouse.

When he arrived at the guardhouse, Lin Ling was still frantically arranging personnel, organizing material reports, and other things.

Fang Yue tiptoed past, not intending to disturb him.

Coming inside, Fang Yue looked around and found Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, who was slacking off and sleeping, with a dark face.

“Wake up! Wake up!”

“Ah!”

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu exclaimed in surprise, and after realizing it was Fang Yue, rubbed her eyes.

“Brother Ye, what’s wrong?”

“You’re sleeping in the game too? What does it feel like to sleep?”

“It’s a normal feeling, no different from sleeping in reality.”

“…Okay. Why aren’t you eating?”

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu immediately looked sad and touched her slightly diminished belly, “Didn’t I just finish eating… By the way, Brother Ye, I’m tired of those dishes, can you change…”

Tired of eating, my ass!

Fang Yue’s fierce gaze stopped Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu from continuing.

“Alright, no eating today. Prepare yourself. We’re leaving for Mo Village tomorrow.”

“Mo Village?”

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu looked blank.

“What kind of place is that?”

“It’s a very far place, it’ll take a few days to walk.”

“Ah? Does that mean leaving the village?! I don’t want to, I don’t want to! I heard people say that leaving the village is a dead end!”

“What do you mean? Do you think I’m doing charity? Work for me!”

“…Brother Ye, it’s very dangerous, maybe you shouldn’t go either.”

I wish I could!

Glaring at Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, Fang Yue said with a straight face, “Do you still want to eat?”

“Don’t want…want want want! Don’t glare at me.”

“Then work hard. The Yang Shou rewards for this trip will be maxed out, and I won’t skimp on silver taels. In the future, you can choose what you want to eat yourself, don’t always make me pay.”

“Okay…”

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was obviously lacking motivation, and Fang Yue frowned.

“The wilderness is very dangerous. If we encounter strange creatures, I might not be able to take care of you. You have to find a way to survive on your own.”

“Ah?! Brother Ye has to save me!”

“You have 3 points in your attributes, you’re a big girl now, you can take care of yourself, good luck.”

“Don’t leave me, Brother Ye!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll take care of you, but don’t just stand there doing nothing. Eat more to increase your attributes. With high attributes, you can run fast. If you really encounter a situation, you can at least save your own life.”

“Yes…”

After a few words of advice, Fang Yue let her go to prepare.

With that settled, Fang Yue asked someone to call Niu Niu over.

While waiting for Niu Niu, Fang Yue found that Lin Ling had come.

“Uh… what’s the matter?”

Lin Ling glanced at him, “Hua Wu Ye asked you to take a letter to someone named Hua Qiuqiu in Mo Village.”

“Hua Qiuqiu? Her… family?”

“Sort of, distant relatives, with some blood ties. However, because they live far away, and because of problems with the elders in previous generations, they don’t have much contact. Now that something so big has happened to the Hua family, they definitely need to be notified.”

After a pause, Lin Ling continued, “Also, Hua Wu Ye said that if you encounter any trouble in Mo Village, mention Hua Wu Ye’s name, and Hua Qiuqiu will help you.”

“Uh… is she very powerful?”

“She is the village chief of Mo Village.”

“What?!”

Fang Yue’s eyes widened.

This is such an important thing, please don’t say it in such a nonchalant tone!

Fang Yue was dumbfounded. The village chief of Mo Village! Hua Wu Ye’s relatives are so powerful!

Lin Ling glanced at Fang Yue and said indifferently, “I know what you’re thinking, but you’re wrong. Hua Qiuqiu hasn’t even entered the martial dao, she’s just a martial artist with some basic, crude martial arts skills.”

“Ah? Then how is she the village chief?”

“Who told you that the village chief needs to be very strong? The village chief just handles all kinds of trivial matters in the village. By the way, our village doesn’t have a village chief.”

“Ah? Then what is Lord Han’s position?”

Lin Ling asked strangely, “Lord Han is just Lord Han, what kind of position would he have?”

…So he doesn’t have a position?

This…

It feels weird.

“By the way, why doesn’t our Gu Yue Village have a village chief? Is it okay to not have a village chief?”

“The village chief is just decided by the village itself. The Qing Si above don’t care about these things, as long as there is a guard team captain. As for why we don’t have one, it’s a historical problem of Gu Yue Village. It’s a bit complicated to explain, you can go through the records in the guard team yourself if you’re interested.”

“…I don’t like flipping through books, just tell me casually.”

Lin Ling frowned, probably annoyed by Fang Yue’s troublesome nature.

“In simple terms, there were a lot of deaths in the village over the position of village chief, so later they simply left it vacant.”

“Oh… so that’s how it is. It’s not like that simple sentence could have explained it clearly.”

“Hmph! If only it were that simple, I’m just too lazy to explain it in detail. Things are far more complicated than you think.”

Lin Ling snorted, threw down Hua Wu Ye’s letter, and turned to leave.

Alright, it’s probably really complicated, but I’m not going to look up the information, it’s none of my business!

Fang Yue thought secretly, seeing Lin Ling walking outside, he couldn’t help but ask, “Have you finished your work?”

“It’s done, the rest are small problems. I’ll let Luo Xin handle them.”

“Luo Xin?”

“One of the five vice-captains who will be going with the guard team this time. He’s been a long-time partner of mine, you can trust him.”
