The children happily scooped up goldfish, and after a while, one of the children suddenly pointed in surprise: "My god, look at Brother Deer over there!"
The group of children all looked back, then cried out in surprise: "Wow, he really lives up to being Brother Deer!"
Tang Xin jumped in fright, and quickly turned around to look.
She saw Lin Xiaolu and Dongfang Dan had climbed onto the shell of the giant King Turtle Golden without her noticing. Lin Xiaolu was even standing on the shell shouting excitedly: "Charge! Kill!"
Tang Xin was so frightened she shouted sternly: "Lin Xiaolu, get down here this instant! Do you want to die?!"
After saying this, she flew up into the air, landing on the turtle shell and grabbed Dongfang Dan and Lin Xiaolu, pulling them both down.
"Are you two trying to get yourselves killed?!" Tang Xin scolded them fiercely, completely unlike her gentle demeanor from before.
Lin Xiaolu looked disgruntled: "You evil demoness, why are you getting in my way? I want to ride the big turtle."
"Like hell you're riding anything." Tang Xin viciously grabbed Lin Xiaolu's ear. "Fooling around recklessly every day, can't you give me a little peace of mind?"
After thoroughly scolding the two dolts, Tang Xin had them rejoin the other children and not leave her sight again.
The morning passed quickly, and around noon, Tang Xin led the children to the dining hall in Communicate Demon for lunch.
In the private room, over twenty children were gathered around a large round table, chattering loudly as they ate, making the entire room noisy and giving Tang Xin a headache.
Little Jade held a fishbowl with a red and gold fish lively swimming around inside. She smiled at Lin Xiaolu and said: "Big brother, let's give these two fish names!"
Sitting beside her, Dongfang Dan suggested while gnawing on a large chicken leg: "How about calling them Little Red and Little Gold?"
"Egg brother, isn't that too unimaginative?" A snot-nosed, bug-eyed child suggested: "I think since Little Jade is our Serve People with Virtue Gang's number two, her pets should have more refined names."
"Oh? What do you suggest then?" Dongfang Dan asked.
"How about Red Lightning and Gold Thunderbolt?"
"Lightning and Thunderbolt?" Lin Xiaolu thought for a moment, then waved his hand generously: "Not bad! We'll go with those names."
He looked at the child and praised: "Didn't expect you to be so wise. What's your name?"
"Hehe, reporting to Brother Deer, I'm a disciple of the Medicine Origin Branch, my name is Tang Hanqing." The child replied respectfully.
"Hmm..." Lin Xiaolu nodded sagely, his young face full of satisfaction: "Didn't expect our just established Serve People with Virtue Gang to already have such a wise talent. Tang Hanqing!"
"Here!"
"From today onward, you are the strategist of my Serve People with Virtue Gang. I hope in the future you will continue to plan and strategize for the gang!"
Hearing this, the child was overjoyed. With a trail of snot dangling from his nose, he excitedly said: "Thank you Brother Deer for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely plan and strategize well for the gang, and will not fail your trust!"
The other children also congratulated Tang Hanqing with cupped fists, each showing him great respect, delighting the child until snot bubbled from his nose.
At the dining table, Tang Xin rested her chin in her hand as she looked at the snot-nosed, bug-eyed fool happily laughing away.
This kid doesn't look wise at all! Calling himself strategist, he's just another dummy.
Oh well, can't blame Lin Xiaolu, these kids average less than eight years old. Their IQs aren't very high either, so this is the best of the lot.
After lunch, the group of children once again went to Spirit Beast Valley, randomly playing and frolicking as they ran wildly around.
The twenty-odd people broke off into groups of two or three, some watching hippos, others watching lions. The valley was very lively.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaolu, Dongfang Dan, and Tang Hanqing, the top leaders of the Serve People with Virtue Gang, squatted together holding a meeting to discuss how to expand their gang.
As for their meeting location, it was in a donkey pen.
Beyond rows of fences, large black-and-white fuzzy donkey heads poked out, staring at the three children. The children squatted in the grass in a circle, seriously stating their opinions.
With snot dangling from his nose and bug-eyes bulging, strategist Tang Hanqing suggested: "Brother Deer, I think to develop our gang, we need to first find a steady source of income. The protection fees we collect are too little."
"That's right, Brother Deer." Dongfang Dan agreed. "Most of our classmates have joined us now, so we can only collect fees from the Spirit Sword Branch. Too few."
Lin Xiaolu also nodded at this.
Tang Hanqing said: "I think we can collect fees from outer disciples. Inner disciples are older than us so we can't bully them, but it's different with outer disciples. Although they're also older than us, they're still afraid of us."
"That won't do." Lin Xiaolu immediately rejected the idea: "Outer disciples already live harsh lives. Making them pay protection fees wouldn't be right. I don't bully the weak."
Tang Hanqing was surprised. "Brother Deer, we're a gang. If you don't bully the weak, who do you bully?"
Lin Xiaolu haughtily lifted his little nose. "Whoever is strong, we bully them."
Dongfang Dan looked confused. "Then who is strong?"
"Senior brothers and sisters are strong."
"Can we bully them?"
"We can't."
"Then what do we do?"
For a moment, the three gang leaders were caught in an impasse of being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
After racking his brains for a while, strategist Dog-Head Tang Hanqing's bug-eyes suddenly lit up as he excitedly proposed: "How about we go scam people?"
"Scam people?" Lin Xiaolu was puzzled. "How would we scam?"
Tang Hanqing giggled sinisterly. "Brother Deer, you know I'm from the Medicine Origin Branch right?"
"I know." Lin Xiaolu nodded.
"Then does Brother Deer know what the Medicine Origin Branch does?"
Lin Xiaolu was taken aback, hesitating as he shook his head. He really didn't know.
Tang Hanqing looked to Dongfang Dan: "Egg brother, do you know?"
Dongfang Dan also shook his head, indicating he didn't know either.
Tang Hanqing giggled as he explained to them while dangling snot: "Our Medicine Origin Branch mainly studies medicinal herbs and their properties, and masters the methods of pill concoction. I'm not that skilled, but can already concoct some basic pills. We can use these pills to scam people."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaolu became quite interested and curiously asked: "What pills can you make?"
Tang Hanqing bragged smugly: "This little brother once followed senior brother to learn to make Heart Condensing Pills. They're used to aid focusing during cultivation, and are the most basic spirit pills. Back then I made ten pills total, ruined eight, and the two remaining ones had some minor issues though I managed to successfully produce them."
"What issues?" Dongfang Dan asked curiously.
"Eating one makes you grow hemorrhoids." Tang Hanqing illustrated the size with his little fist: "About this big!"
"Ow!" Lin Xiaolu and Dongfang Dan simultaneously covered their little butts, their eyes filled with horror.
"The other one makes you act drunk after eating it, saying whatever comes to mind and spilling the truth for three whole days."
An evil smile appeared on Tang Hanqing's young face. "We can find someone to act with us, scamming people by pretending we coincidentally obtained divine pills that can increase cultivation, then sell them at high prices."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaolu's eyes immediately lit up as he imagined Chen Nianyun growing fist-sized hemorrhoids after taking the pills.
Wow!
He excitedly slapped Tang Hanqing's shoulder, loudly praising: "As expected of my Serve People with Virtue Gang's strategist, truly ingenious with abundant tricks. Such terror!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one."

"It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
