Chapter 955: How about the Gods? I will speak with my strength Chapter 22

Mo Zheng didn't say anything about Gintoki taking away his credit. He didn't care about being thanked anyway. As long as the villagers were safe, it was enough.

Another period of peaceful days passed, but it might be because the male and female protagonists both lived in Yongshou Town.

When Su Yan went to buy vegetables during the day, he noticed that there was a demonic aura in Yongshou Town, and this time the demon was a big one.

Su Yan observed calmly. If this big monster did not harm mortals, she could turn a blind eye. But if it harmed ordinary people here, then it could only be said that he was unlucky.

After finishing work in the morning, there will be some free time.

Su Yan taught Mo Zheng and Yun Ji how to play cards, and the three of them played Landlord with homemade cards.

It's no big deal if a guest comes over occasionally and takes a few minutes.

Yunji quickly fell in love with this kind of cards and wanted to play it whenever he had free time.

Su Yan said cunningly: "Fighting is boring, it's fun only when there is a winner or a loser."

Yun Ji: "Then let's gamble. Um... I want to ask, I have been doing odd jobs here for so long, can I get some wages?"

Seeing Yun Ji's eager yet timid look, Su Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course, I've kept your wages. Do you want to use them to play cards?"

Yun Ji said happily, "Yeah, yeah, is that okay?"

Su Yan smiled cunningly and said, "Okay, as long as you don't regret it later."

Su Yan paid Yun Ji all the wages he had received for the past few months.

Then the three of them started playing Landlord with winners and losers.

In less than an hour, Yun Ji lost so much money that he began to doubt his life. He lost all the money he had earned from working hard for several months.

Su Yan grinned and said, "Why, do you still dare to gamble?"

Yun Ji was dissatisfied and said, "I want to make a comeback, can I get a little more advance on my wages?"

Su Yan said readily: "Of course, is it enough to advance you two years' salary?"

Yun Ji: "That's enough. This time it's definitely enough. I must win back what I lost before."

Another hour passed, and Yun Ji had lost miserably, and was almost about to sign a lifelong indenture.

Su Yan won a lot of money and said with a smile: "You won't get any salary for the next ten years."

Yun Ji wanted to cry but had no tears. Why couldn't he control himself? Why couldn't he stop?

If Mo Zheng didn't have a wealthy family, he might have lost everything.

His face turned slightly red and he looked at Su Yan somewhat shyly. He had also lost a lot, and he always felt that Su Yan's smile was meaningful.

When he saw Yun Ji being ordered around by Su Yan like a slave, he seemed to understand something.

Every time Yun Ji wanted to be lazy, resist, or escape, she was always seen through by Su Yan, and she could only work for her obediently.

Yun Ji was angry but dared not say anything. Gambling was harmful to people. Fortunately, he had a long life and the ten years would pass quickly.

Yun Ji’s thoughts were beautiful, but the reality was cruel.

He used to have his freedom, but now if Su Yan has any problem, he should not feel too comfortable ordering him around.

Recently, when the noodle shop was not busy, Yun Ji was sent out to inspect Yongshou Town, with a special focus on the new snake demon.

At first, the snake demon could live obediently in Yongshou Town, but gradually, Yun Ji discovered clues.

This snake demon was actually sucking the energy of ordinary people. Every time he showed up, he would take advantage of the fact that ordinary people were fast asleep, and then he would randomly find a family to suck the energy from them. He would not suck the energy out of a person all at once, at most he would suck away half of it.

Because he still had to live in Yongshou Town and didn't want to arouse suspicion.

At first, Yun Ji didn’t notice it, because most snake monsters travel in the middle of the night.

One time, he couldn't sleep, so he ran to the snake demon's residence to stand guard as usual. He saw the snake demon sneaking into a house in the middle of the night, and he followed curiously to check.

At first, no one in that family was injured or died, and he couldn't understand why the snake demon would go to someone else's house in the middle of the night.

Later, he accidentally discovered that the snake demon was actually sucking their essence. He was shocked and quickly told Su Yan about it.

Those who had their essence sucked out looked like they were still asleep, their bodies were weak, and they looked like they were about to die.

They are always in low spirits, weak in body, and prone to illness.

Many people have visited the clinic, and the doctors said that they were suffering from a deficiency of both Qi and blood and needed to be replenished.

People who were originally healthy suddenly become deficient in qi and blood, which makes them think that the doctor is lying or is a quack who has not found the cause of their illness at all.

The doctor was helpless because he diagnosed this symptom from feeling their pulse, but they didn't believe him.

Looking at their condition, it is obvious that it is caused by overindulgence or overwork. Their bodies are seriously depleted. If they are not replenished in time, I am afraid that their lifespan will be affected.

I don’t know why more and more people have suffered from this kind of symptoms recently, as if they have contracted some kind of plague. The doctor is also worried, and is also worried that his medical skills are not good enough and he has not found the root cause of the disease.

Yun Ji told Su Yan what he knew.

Su Yan frowned and said in a chilling voice, "This snake demon has learned to be smart. He can even hold back from killing people all at once. Mo Zheng, go ahead and don't let this snake demon cause harm to mortals again."

"Ah."

When Mo Zheng found the snake demon, he sensed a familiar breath behind him.

The snake demon had just refined the essence it had just absorbed and felt refreshed, but it didn't expect that someone would come to its door.

"Who are you and why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Mo Zheng said coldly: "Do justice for the heavens and slay demons and monsters."

The snake demon laughed when he heard this, and then said disdainfully: "Why are you pretending to be a saint? Do you think I don't know that you are just trying to rob your fellow thieves? Don't make yourself sound so great."

Mo Zheng did not rush to refute, but said indifferently: "If you are willing to return the essence you absorbed to them, I can spare your life."

The snake demon said disdainfully: "Oh, you are so arrogant, you dare to say such things to me, do you really think I am that useless dead rat?"

Mo Zheng was surprised. He actually knew about the rat demon, so why did he choose to come to Yongshou Town?

The snake demon seemed to see through his confusion, and explained smugly, "I am different from the rat demon. With his level of cultivation, he can only scare people. It was his bad luck to die at the hands of that cheap pretty boy. You are so stupid. You dare not say a word when your own achievements are taken away by others. You are such a coward."

The snake demon not only knew that he had destroyed the rat demon's cultivation, but also knew that his credit was taken away by Gintoki.

Therefore, in his eyes, Mo Zheng was not a powerful person at all. If he was really powerful, he would not have swallowed this loss in silence.

The snake demon relied on his recent improvement in cultivation and did not take Mo Zheng seriously.

He even had the bold idea that if he absorbed the essence of this person, would his cultivation level be greatly improved?

The person who was hiding and peeping, when he heard the snake demon's words, his eyes darkened by three points, and there was a hint of murderous intent on his face.
