Only a few unlucky ones had truly perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a blessing in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan and the Fat Traveler stood by the roadside for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, their carriage arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver was the same one from the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite surprising that the driver was completely unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the driver pulled up, Lu Yuan offered him a cigarette and asked curiously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like you got out of it without a scratch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver, his face a mask of lingering fear mixed with relief, said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back then, I saw my horse wouldn’t budge. I was afraid if I went with you, I’d come back to find my horse gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I didn’t go...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at it now... I’m so glad I didn’t...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan nodded and patted the driver’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Opportunities to defy fate and change your destiny are rare, but you still have to know your own limits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver nodded repeatedly, then looked at Lu Yuan and the Fat Traveler and quickly asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you two sirs...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan answered directly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same place as before. Shige Village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver hurriedly lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the Fat Traveler, and was about to say, \"After you, sir,\" when Lu Yuan simply hopped up and ducked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside, Lu Yuan crossed his legs, looked at the dumbfounded driver outside, and raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver blinked, a look of pure confusion on his face. He glanced at Lu Yuan, then at the Fat Traveler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Fat Traveler make no move, the driver finally lowered the curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fat Traveler, looking like he had just eaten shit, joined the driver and got on the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the driver cracked his whip and urged the horse forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir... What just happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver couldn’t contain his confusion and leaned toward the Fat Traveler to ask in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Something isn’t right...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How did their roles completely reverse?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have been better if the driver hadn’t asked. The moment he did, the Fat Traveler couldn’t hold it in any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shot the driver a glare and cursed in a low voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then was then, now is now! Don’t confuse the two!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stop your damn yapping and drive the carriage!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, the driver flinched and quickly said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... sir...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Lu Yuan’s nonchalant voice drifted from inside the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be a little kinder to people. You never know when they might end up climbing over your head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this from inside, the Fat Traveler, despite being furious, forced a fawning smile onto his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look back at the carriage curtain and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your guidance, Young Master Nephew...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, the Fat Traveler turned back, shot the driver a vicious glare, then fell into a sullen silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the carriage, Lu Yuan couldn’t be bothered with the two men outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, with his legs crossed, he was carefully examining the Lu Ban’s Ink Pot in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ink Pot Thread was completely used up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the most crucial part of the Ink Pot was the ink itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan inspected the Lu Ban’s Ink Pot and discovered that ink was continuously welling up from the reservoir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Good, good. The ink is inexhaustible.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that Lu Ban’s Ink Pot wasn’t a one-time-use item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could just re-string it and use it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But if I use a different, ordinary thread, it might affect its performance, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But it should still be more or less the same. It’s definitely a powerful Divine Artifact either way.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully stowing the Ink Pot away, Lu Yuan took out the Celestial Master Sword from his inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hmm...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Although it doesn’t look very ornate, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. I’m sure this thing is incredibly powerful.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was a reward with a Multiplication Factor of 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After examining everything, Lu Yuan took out two Secret Manuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was titled *Celestial Master*, the other *Craftsmanship*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to read them, but after some thought, he decided it was better to wait until he got home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey continued at a bumpy, leisurely pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around nightfall, Lu Yuan’s group arrived at the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying the fare, Lu Yuan and the Fat Traveler walked toward Shige Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t need to enter the village itself. Lu Yuan led the Fat Traveler on a patrol around its perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to catch that female ghost that was always scaring him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Fat Traveler by his side this time, Lu Yuan felt much bolder and started making small talk with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fat Traveler’s real name was Lin Fusheng. He was from Taiping City and had studied his craft in his early years at a Daoist Temple on Taixing Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was too fond of eating and lazing about, so he was kicked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he joined the Five Doctors Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t be fooled by the way Lin Fusheng had been throwing his weight around in front of Lu Yuan and the others before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Guild, he was a nobody with no real influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if he were truly skilled and capable, he wouldn’t have been assigned to a village. He would be in the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or at least he would have been made a Shopkeeper or a Steward in the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re twenty-three?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan stared at Lin Fusheng, dumbfounded, after hearing this part of his self-introduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fusheng blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan gave him a strange look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re only a few years older than me. How do you look like you’re forty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fusheng: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them circled the village once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conclusion was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget Water Ghosts, there were no ghosts at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area was completely clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan listened to Lin Fusheng, his face a mask of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible? Not a single one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fusheng also frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is strange. There were definitely some here before, quite a few of them, it seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can still smell the scent they left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, I really can’t see a single one...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s as if they all fled overnight...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Yuan blinked, but he didn’t feel happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a patch of ocean with no sharks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, a place that used to have sharks, but they all vanished overnight...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s only one explanation for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An orca has moved in...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also like a region in the icy plains of Siberia with not a single wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it’s very likely... there’s a tiger there...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And now, all the ghosts are gone, all fled...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This means...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could it be... that something far more terrifying has fucking arrived?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Liyan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wash these dishes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shige Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancestral hall in the center of the village was bustling with activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief’s family was hosting a grand feast for the entire village today, and their own courtyard wasn’t big enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they simply moved the event to the open space in front of the ancestral hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were having a feast tonight, everyone had to chip in. No one could just eat for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was currently helping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women helped clear the tableware and clean up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men helped slaughter the pigs and sheep, and also took the opportunity to offer sacrifices to the ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp, harsh voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman, dressed differently from the villagers and clearly from the city, stood with her hands on her hips, shouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan, who had been focused on sweeping the ground, immediately straightened up when she heard her name called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I’ll be right there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, a group of village women huddled together sorting vegetables couldn’t help but purse their lips at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That daughter-in-law of Lao San’s is such a bully...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Are all city folk like this?’\u003C\u002Fp>",1383,"2026-05-30T14:11:52.708Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.829Z",1,"novelbin.me","f71f233920197ed0c555ea66774f7eeaceba6a957a2318cbb6d7bd98b9869855","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-24","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-22",258,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-cover.jpg"]
