The next move by Shao Chaikun was simple.

No way he'd actually sleep with her.

Under the moon, he hummed a song, recited poems half elegantly, left the line "I'll come find you tonight," and then had her send him back to the cell.

The jailer, Li Youyou, hesitated:

"This woman is quite interesting, but so ugly. Do I really have to..."

Shao Chaikun ignored him because this matter had no continuation.

Back in the cell, he tossed aside the needle used to extract bloodline information, waiting for the blacksmith to come and fetch it, then he killed himself.

The needle was easily taken by an experienced tomb raider from the Shi Family in the Four Viscera Realm.

"All the information is in hand, building documents should be ready by tomorrow morning."

Outside the tomb tunnel, Shi Youxing laughed, saying that they had already started mimicking the documents and stamps earlier.

Now with the text information added, it was almost complete.

In reality, at this stage of development, Shi Youxing found it somewhat unbelievable.

Was it completed just like that?

In total calculation, only three days to conquer an ancient tomb?

Usually, tomb raiding, surveying, sneaking, distinguishing... such tricks couldn't be completed in less than a month, this set a new record for them.

Of course.

The prerequisite for everything was:

Success tomorrow, without the Civil Engineering Department uncovering them.

She walked out of the house, watching the lively brick-moving teams piling up little brick mountains repeatedly.

"Hope things go smoothly tomorrow."

"Raiding the tomb openly in front of the tomb owner, this will be a giant step in our tomb raiding history."

...

By dusk, Ning Zheng sent the blacksmiths back to the manor.

The blacksmiths returning from the tomb this time were less excited, seeming to have adapted to their daily outings to move bricks.

The group began sorting the gains.

Jiucai Rong continued urging them to move more bricks, even encouraging them to take loans once they earned money.

"This time's gains are good, you all go to the tomb daily, move bricks to earn money, tens of Magic Coins a day, over a hundred in ten days."

"Hurry and loan to buy a Soul Separation Flower, you'll pay it off soon."

After all.

He couldn't participate in this mission, idly hanging out in the manor management office, just watching them return successful from raiding.

Jiucai Rong crazily influenced these brick-moving players raiding the tomb.

He even pulled up red banners in the manor:

[Not taking loans is a criminal offense in our manor, severely punished.]

[Spirit Root Loan, zero down payment, 5% off.]

[Boosting manor's domestic demand, a healthy economic circle, everyone's responsibility.]

[One small loan, one big step for the manor.]

...

"Shout the slogan with me, severely punished for not loaning." Jiucai Rong shouted.

"Severely punished for not loaning."

"Severely punished for not loaning."

A group of blacksmiths who couldn't join the mission also shouted along: "Severely punished for not loaning!"

Since if these tomb-raiding rich players take loans, they would come to their blacksmith shop and Spirit Farmer zone to spend.

This made many of those returning from moving bricks somewhat persuaded.

With muddy yellow clothes, they couldn't tell it was black hair, dirty and lining up to seek loans from Jiucai Rong.

"I want a Soul Separation Flower, reserve one for me first."

"I want one too."

Jiucai Rong watched the queue of people pre-booking, smiling widely, "Everyone! Everyone! You work hard moving bricks, life will be better."

...

...

At the foot of Ning Zheng's mountain, seeing the brightly lit prison still operating intensely.

Already started laying new floor tiles, speed was quite rapid.

Embers, Su Yuniang couldn't sit idle, unable to fish, recently fussing over her prison as the warden.

Returning home.

Ning Zheng found the food on the table had already gone cold and frozen.

Su Yuniang and Ning Jiaojiao were nowhere to be found, probably supervising the prison construction post-dinner.

"These guys found new jobs again..."

Ning Zheng chuckled, reheated the food himself, ate alone, skimmed through today's posts.

Everyone was blowing up with the cross-dressing Shao Chaikun.

His pretending chat didn't make anyone feel tea-like, rather they found it maniacal and really off-putting.

Shao Chaikun, too young, thought stealing some green tea quotes would successfully get him the role?

His palace fight, did he really get fought away?

No, he was driven off awkwardly.

Additionally, all sorts of Shao Chaikun meme screenshots emerged on the forum, fresh out with those green tea-wisdom quotes, bombarded furiously.

He's happily claimed the nickname: Green Tea Kun.

Jiucai Rong: "Switch Su Yuniang, the little she-demon, to play this role, it'd be perfect. You, the ugly guy, so lacking that milk-tea aroma."

Medical Fairy: "Hahaha, this made me socially anxious, ahahaha, it's so cringy, digging my heels into the ground, Shao Chaikun playing cringe modes for money, must go on, even if awkward."

Su Yuniang: "Here he is, Shrimp Head Man, mind filled with yellow."

Shao Chaikun: "You're just jealous!"

...

Shao Chaikun typed back and forth with them briefly, then stopped paying attention.

They were just envious.

He completed a wave of tasks with Magic Coins flooding in, why care about this?

Meanwhile, Ning Zheng flipped a few pages, not paying attention to their discussion, practicality suffices.

It's Shao Chaikun who faces embarrassment, while Ning Zheng gains attention and admiration from other Demon Cultivators.

Nothing was lost anyway.

Ning Zheng instead focused on Su Yuniang causing a ruckus while he was away from the manor.

[Su Yuniang: A hidden quest line in the interrogation room, pretend to be No-Life Sect, is a mode to control prisoners outside psychological shadow.]

"Because most of the low-level female prisoners in the prison entered for child murders, believers of No-Life Sect. Let's just pretend No-Life Sect..."

"..."

Skip the thousands of words of rambling in the middle, and conclude with:

"If we do it this way, the neighboring prison will be emptied, and everyone will be moved to ours, filling the Demon Suppression Tower with a bunch of beautiful wives."

"Clearly, this is a Cao Pool, and once conquered, everyone will get a lovely wife NPC baby..."

"Hehe, cackle, giggle... The Manor Master is such a nice guy, providing jobs, marriages, and beautiful widows. Truly, it's Green Hat Manor; the era of hat-giving to everyone has arrived."

"Boohoo, their poor husbands..."

"Indeed, it's a game operation. Despite its unique green hat attribute, the indispensable 'Marriage System' is officially online!"

Ning Zheng's face darkened instantly.

Well said.

Don't say it again next time.

It's not that Ning Zheng doesn't want to give them benefits.

It's because Ai's assistant said that we need harmony and civilization, can't have this kind of chaotic nonsense.

One person with someone else's wife?

That qualifies as a category of being harmonized.

They can't bear such a big crime!

It's up to Ning Zheng to bear these sins for them.

"Once captured, the manor can't keep a single beautiful female prisoner, they all have to be confined in the prison next to my home."

"I must periodically, as the jailer, patrol with Su Yuniang and Ning Jiaojiao."

Ning Zheng finished reading the post, pondering another question.

But are we pretending to be the No-Life Sect?

Demon Cultivators differ from each other.

We are a low-class ordinary Demon Cultivator small family, while they are large rebel Demon Sect.

It's said that the core activity area of the No-Life Sect is the Xinyi Continent, a local rebel force infiltrating other continents.

Even if this time the Saint's assassination wasn't their doing, it's likely a conspiracy with rebellious Demon Sects from other continents.

They have collaborations, just as the current group of small demon cultivators are collaborating to rob tombs.

"But by doing this, pretending this stuff, we look a lot like a rebel manor!"

Ning Zheng rubbed his chin, contemplating for a long time:

"However, it's pretending in front of ghosts; outsiders don't know, so it's not impossible."

After all, closing the door and pretending a bit can harvest lots of criminal resources; those No-Life Sect's female prisoners fill the prison, which is acceptable.

After all, Ning Zheng's vision is long-term.

This big tomb estimates will be conquered soon, can't just abandon those prisoners, right?

Plus.

Our manor usually has no visitors.

Even if there are guests, they only visit the mountain, not the Demon Suppression Tower below, and can't see the prison's interior.

"Perfect."

Ning Zheng is a pragmatist; he thinks this is not a problem.

A blacksmith being a bit flamboyant doesn't matter, especially the current flamboyance he feels he can handle.

What's more, today the adorable little blacksmith made him bask in glory in front of everyone!

He's not unable to fulfill their desires.

Honestly, he dares to gamble with even a 10% chance of success; these rare minor unexpected events don't make him blink an eye.

Not worried at all.

...

The next morning.

No snow, the accumulated snow has melted considerably, clearly the windy snowy weather has passed, and the temperature has risen slightly.

Ning Zheng got up early, then went out, up the mountain.

Entering the manor, teleporting them as always to the entrance of the stolen hole, then chatting with the heads of other Demon Cultivator families for a while.

Shi Youxing said: "Next, please other families retreat. Our people will play the Civil Engineering Department."

"Most of you are Yin, Yang Spiritual Roots, high cultivation, appearing here is inappropriate, doesn't fit your status."

Shi Family can disguise as corresponding Earth Spiritual Roots.

Other families can't, and can only be a burden.

Ning Zheng and others nodded, "Then we retreat, you enter the tomb, be careful."

The five families are Middle Grade Spiritual Root families. Not everyone has the qualification to activate core Roots, each leaving behind a group to activate other types of spiritual roots as temporary workers for the Civil Engineering Department.

Sent off others.

The most crucial moment of success or failure has arrived.

Shi Youxing organized a bit, looked at his clan members:

"I lead, disguised as a Civil Engineering Department's Spiritual Root. I am the head of the Civil Engineering Department."

"Shi Youyou, you disguise as a Li Family member, we'll tackle from both sides."

She put on corresponding earth-colored official attire, hung the badge, became a spirited and beautiful female official, taking the credentials, Shi Youxing took a deep breath and strode into the stolen hole.

This time, it's upright and open!

Of course, she has means of teleportation for saving her life.

Ordinary Three Elements Realm attacks can be teleported away, but the remaining disciples are doomed.

So, their family is also taking on the huge risk of young members dying.

A group of little blacksmiths watched them enter, speechless: "Can't we go in and have a look?"

The Food God shook his head: "Estimate no! They enter alone have a higher success rate, but I really want to see the cutscene plot."

Embers Jiucai Rong cared little about them:

"From now on, all blacksmiths with Lower Grade Wine Rice Yin Spirit Root withdraw; Yin Spirit Roots inherently resemble demon cultivators."

"Those who haven't opened Three Flowers, or opened other Three Flowers such as Painting Card Root, Goosegrass Root, stay behind pretending to be temp workers, help with brick moving."

The group of blacksmiths couldn't say much and left directly.

After a long time.

Shi Youxing came out with a bright smile: "Negotiated, I took the documents and directly went to the warden's room, received a reception, let's go in!"

They are professional tomb raiders; disguising is their strongest specialty.

With all kinds of fraud and masking well-prepared, an accident would be an abnormal rare event.

Embers Jiucai Rong stepped forward, said: "Our family, requests to increase manpower."

Shi Youxing glanced at Embers Jiucai Rong: "How many people do you have? We can't take those with Yin Yang Spirit Roots."

"About one or two hundred."

Embers Jiucai Rong stated a number, "After all, digging needs more people."

"Okay." Shi Youxing deeply looked at them.
