Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

News of the Divine Constabulary’s Missus visiting the Southern Mountain Village once again spread in a flash throughout the entire village.

Once they heard this news, the villagers instantly became very excited. This was a fortune from heaven! Nobody important ever visited the Southern Mountain Village of before.

But now? Within the span of less than two months, people from the Divine Constabulary arrived and again. Moreover, the Divine Constabulary’s Missus even personally arrived the second time. What did this represent?

This represented that the Divine Constabulary’s Missus remembered the Southern Mountain Village.

As long as the Divine Constabulary’s Missus remembered the Southern Mountain, that was an opportunity, a huge opportunity that meant great fortune and hope!

Village Chief Meng Bai anxiously dragged Li Huer on one hand, holding a cigar in another, and hurriedly brought along Li Zhuangshi and Mrs Li along with the rest of the villagers to the village entrance.

“Yuuu…”

After a wave of braying coming from the Snow Tredding Dragon Stallions, few hundred-people strong army finally stopped.

Leading the army, General Li didn’t hurry to dismount after seeing the crowd, and instead turned his head to look at the large sedan adorned with jade coloured pearls.

The curtains of the large sedan opened from inside, Lady Yuer, wearing a beautiful dress, raised her small head arrogantly and walked out. Her hands even held a roll of white cloth.

Looking at the crowd of villagers in front of her, Lady Yuer huffed softly and then bowed her body and pulled open the sedan curtains from the outside.

Then…

Wearing a sky-blue dress, with a jade-green flower in her hair, wearing her gold-threaded red shoes, Runaway Lolita Chi Guyan slowly emerged from within the sedan.

“Southern Mountain Village Village Chief, along with the rest of the villagers, welcomes Missus!”

Once he saw runaway Lolita Chi Guyan, Village Chief Meng Bai instantly became delighted and knelt down, pulling Li Huer down with him.

When the rest of the villagers witnessed this, they also knelt down immediately.

The Divine Constabulary controlled the desert. Not even mentioning the Southern Mountain Village, even officials from the county and capital had to pay respects when they saw the Divine Constabulary’s Missus.

“Rise!” Runaway Lolita Chi Guyan’s jet-black eyes swept across the villagers. Realising that Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t among them, she laughed coldly to herself.

You indeed went into hiding? But, you can’t run away today.

“Yuer, reveal it!”

“Yes, Missus!” Lady Yuer immediately leapt down from the sedan and walked to the front of the crowd when she heard Lolita Chi Guyan’s orders.

Then, she slowly unrolled the white cloth on her hands.

Eyeing the white cloth, excitement instantly began to rise in his heart.

He initially believed the main purpose of the Divine Constabulary’s Missus visiting the Southern Mountain Village was to take a break from her journey, but now it seemed that she was here to convey orders from the Divine Constabulary.

Furthermore, looking at the rather gentle expressions of General Li and Lady Yuer, it meant that the Divine Constabulary’s visit to the Southern Mountain Village bore no ill intent!

“An order that involved so many people, yet not bearing any ill intent? Could it be that a great opportunity is about to befall on us? But, I wonder whose family would have this fortune!”

As Village Chief Meng Bai thought, he gazed at Li Huer who was standing by his side, and instinctively tightened his grip.

He had to seem as if he was extremely close to the Li family. Only through this could he convince the Divine Constabulary’s Missus that she had great insight and knew how to identify talents.

Li Zhuangshi and the rest of the villagers’ eyes also lit up when they saw Lady Yuer pull out the roll of white cloth. Even the injury on his chest didn’t feel painful anymore.

“The Divine Constabulary’s Missus has arrived personally, could it be that great fortune is about to befall on us? I wonder whether it would befall on me, or on Huer?” Li Zhuangshi was so agitated that he didn’t even know where to put his hands.

Lady Yuer finally completely revealed the roll of cloth, looking at the crowd of villagers in front of her, she coughed softly. Her expression remained haughty.

“The Divine Constabulary, brings about good fortune everywhere, controlling the five capitals and twenty-seven counties in the Northern Desert… has specially given this great fortune today, welcoming Southern Mountain Village villager, Fang Zhengzhi, into the Divine Constabulary!” When Lady Yuer had finished reading, she rolled back the white cloth, shifted her gaze towards Village Chief Meng Bai and waited for him to receive the orders.

Yet…

Village Chief Meng Bai was completely stunned. Hearing this, his initial joyful expression instantly changed into a deathly shade of white.

“Welcome… welcome Fang Zhengzhi into the Divine Constabulary?!”

Village Chief Meng Bai raised his head, gazing at the darkening sky that now only contained rays from the setting sun. His entire body felt as if he was hit a million times and fell to the ground.

“Fang… Fang Zhengzhi?!” A shiver also went down Li Zhuangshi’s spine.

Fang Zhengzhi was about to enter the Divine Constabulary? How… how could this be true! Wait, no, how could this be possible? He… he had made the Fang family… no, Fang Zhengzhi must not enter the Divine Constabulary!

“Village Chief!” Li Zhuangshi didn’t wait for the rest of the villagers to speak, and instantly rushed to Village Chief Meng Bai’s side.

Then, he vigorously gave Village Chief Meng Bai a meaningful look, his expression terrified. If Fang Zhengzhi had really entered the Divine Constabulary, it would be a huge disaster to both the Li family and the entire Southern Mountain Village.

Shaken by Li Zhuangshi, Village Chief Meng Bai instantly regained his senses. How could he not understand what Li Zhuangshi was trying to convey? But… he regretted! He really regretted!

If he hadn’t made that decision today, then this piece of news in front of him would definitely be the happiest occasion that had ever befell on the Southern Mountain Village since its inception.

“Fang Zhengzhi is going to enter the Divine Constabulary?!”

“Why isn’t the old Fang family here? Quick, go and notify them!”

“What a happy occasion, the happiest occasion ever!”

A few of the villagers who didn’t know that Fang Zhengzhi had been exiled welled up with excitement when they heard Lady Yuer’s words. Even though they didn’t know why was Fang Zhengzhi invited into the Divine Constabulary, but it was still an extremely happy occasion.

“Why have you not received the orders?” Lady Yuer, holding the white cloth in her hands, waited for a while, yet nobody went up to receive the orders. She instantly became somewhat unhappy.

“Replying… replying the Constabulary’s question! I… I am guilty!” Village Chief Meng Bai suddenly crawled up, then once again knelt down on the ground after hearing Lady Yuer’s words.

A faint ray of light flashed within Runaway Lolita Chi Guyan’s jet-black eyes when she witnessed this scene. She was somewhat confused, she had personally invited that little bastard Fang Zhengzhi into the Divine Constabulary, the Southern Mountain Village should be grateful. Why did he suddenly say that he was guilty?

When Li Zhuangshi and Mrs Li heard Village Chief Meng Bai plead guilty, they instantly became alerted. This village chief better not be stupid.

Now Fang Zhengzhi already didn’t belong to the Southern Mountain Village, if the Divine Constabulary had managed to locate Fang Zhengzhi, the Southern Mountain Village would definitely land into big trouble as well.

“Reporting… reporting to Missus, Fang Zhengzhi has already left the village, including his parents, they have all left the Southern Mountain Village. I… I wasn’t able to keep them, I… I am guilty!” Tears rolled down Village Chief Meng Bai’s eyes. He really regretted, regretted so much that he wasn’t even able to stop his tears.

Left the village?! Runaway Lolita Chi Guyan was slightly taken aback. She would never have thought that such a thing would happen. Left the village? Why must he leave the village?

“What is the reason Fang Zhengzhi left the village?” Runaway Lolita Chi Guyan looked at Village Chief Meng Bai.

“This, this…” A wave of hesitation rose inside Village Chief Meng Bai. Gazing at Li Zhuangshi, he finally gritted his teeth. “It’s my fault, previous Fang Zhengzhi’s dad Fang Houde encountered the Blue Fire Wolf on the Cang Ling Mountain and was attacked. When he returned, he couldn’t recover properly. Hence, in order to… in order to seek better treatment, they… they left the Southern Mountain Village!”

Village Chief Meng Bai had also considered pinning the crime on Fang Zhengzhi for sabotaging Li Zhuangshi, but he didn’t do so. Because, sabotaging a person regarded as important by the Divine Constabulary was the dumbest of actions.

Furthermore…

More importantly, Village Chief Meng Bai felt a sense of guilt towards the Fang family. He didn’t want Fang Zhengzhi to enter the Divine Constabulary, but at the same time, he also wished that Fang Zhengzhi was able to enter the Divine Constabulary.

This was a very complicated feeling.

“Audacious Meng Bai, do you know what is the punishment for lying to the Divine Constabulary!”
