“Please, sir, have mercy. What are your terms? You may tell them!”
The woman in purple robes was being affected by the backlash of the spell she cast on Chen Fan.
If Chen Fan refused to lift the suppression of her fortune, she would be unlucky for at least another day or two before her fate and fortune could resolve the issue.
Seeing this, Chen Fan didn't understand why this Zhang family lady would do this, but he knew he had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, the Zhang family lady's identity and strength were helpful to him.
“Though I don't know what you mean, madam, I agree. However, I also have something I need your help with!”
Chen Fan straightforwardly stated his request, and Lady Zhang's eyes flickered.
She nodded decisively and replied, “Thank you, sir. But what kind of help do you need?”
Zhang Tian Shou smiled at Chen Fan, and Chen Fan immediately understood her meaning.
Clearly, the purple-clothed woman’s problem wasn’t serious. If Chen Fan pressed his advantage or even tried to extort her, Zhang Tian Shou wouldn’t agree.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan bowed and smiled again, “Nothing major. Lady Zhang, I just need to borrow the name of the Qinghe Zhang family. There's a river of clear water near my village, and there's a river god living in it. I need your help to talk to him.”
“So, it’s the river god causing trouble? Rest assured, sir, Tian Shou will not shirk responsibility. I’ll go with you and kill the evil god!”
The murderous aura radiating from Zhang Tian Shou made Chen Fan’s hair stand on end.
Damn, no wonder the Great Tang Dynasty could stand firm in this world of gods and demons! Even a lady from the Qinghe Zhang family is so decisive and ruthless. Then what about the likes of Cheng Yaojin and Wei Chi Gong? They must be like demons!
“There’s no need for that. I just have some things I need to discuss with the river god. But Zhaojia Village is too weak, and I’m afraid the river god won’t listen to me!”
Chen Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead. This woman is really spicy!
Zhang Tian Shou’s brows furrowed slightly at the mention of discussing with the river god. Before the Jade Emperor ascended, she had witnessed these evil spirits’ exploitation.
They would do anything to skin, bone, and suck the marrow of the people.
Wait, discuss, river god!
Zhang Tian Shou recalled Chen Fan's identity—the new human sage!
As far as she knew, every human sage is guided by the human destiny.
Could this be Chen Fan's destiny?
If so, Chen Fan isn't making demands but offering a favor!
After all, the birth of every human sage strengthens the human race. The fortune, merit, and other benefits involved would make even a quasi-saint envious.
But why is Chen Fan so kind to her, a complete stranger?
She can’t let such a great karmic connection go unrewarded!
After a moment’s thought, Zhang Tian Shou took off a red jade pendant from her waist.
“Tian Shou is grateful for your guidance, sir. I have no way to repay your kindness. This is Tian Shou’s token. With this, you can command gods and ghosts. Even the city gods and land deities will obey your orders upon seeing this token!”
“Damn, that’s amazing?”
Chen Fan was stunned. Damn Great Tang! A lady from the Qinghe Zhang family can command gods and ghosts with her identity token!
Then what about Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who has the Mandate of Heaven? He must be able to ascend to godhood with a single word!
Unknowing of Zhang Tian Shou’s true identity, Chen Fan completely misinterpreted the situation.
Dazhuang looked at Chen Fan with admiration, ‘Wow, my bro, you’ve already won over the girl! What’s with commanding gods and ghosts? That’s just a love token!’
“Cool… cool what?”
Zhang Tian Shou was confused, and Chen Fan realized that she was a girl.
Chen Fan coughed lightly and explained, “Nothing, it means amazing!”
“Oh, Tian Shou understands. Sir, awesome!”
Zhang Tian Shou clasped her fists and laughed. Chen Fan twitched his mouth.
Suddenly, Zhang Tian Shou was confused. Why didn’t the sir seem to like her praise?
“Ahem, Lady Zhang always calls herself Tian Shou. Is this your given name?”
Chen Fan quickly changed the subject. He couldn’t keep going down this path.
Although the Great Tang’s customs were relatively open, a woman’s given name wouldn’t normally be revealed so easily.
Dazhuang was starting to question his entire existence. ‘Given name, love token, has Bro already secured it? Why is his Xiaohua still a little cold towards him?
Zhang Tian Shou nodded, but the woman in purple robes couldn't take it anymore.
“Big Sister, what’s there to talk about with this villain? You even gave him your token!”
The woman in purple robes pulled Zhang Tian Shou’s sleeve, her mouth pouting so much that it could hang a gourd.
Zhang Tian Shou’s expression instantly turned serious. She scolded, “Xiaoqi, don’t be rude! Apologize to the sir!”
“Big Sister!”
“Apologize!”
Facing Xiaoqi’s whining, Zhang Tian Shou, for once, showed no sign of softening.
Reluctantly, Xiaoqi turned around and bowed to Chen Fan, muttering, “Sorry!”
“Speak up! How did I teach you?”
“Lady Zhang, please calm down. Children are ignorant. It’s normal!”
Chen Fan quickly intervened. He had more things that required the Qinghe Zhang family’s help.
This little incident didn’t bother him.
After all, Li Shimin’s main targets were the Five Noble Clans and Seven Great Families. The Qinghe Zhang family, having been elevated, was definitely a good partner.
“You’re generous, sir!”
Zhang Tian Shou instantly performed a dramatic shift from cloudy to sunny, apologizing with a smile.
Dazhuang was in awe of Chen Fan. ‘Bro is invincible! He’s already got a wife and husband team! ’
The woman in purple robes looked at Master Fu and the one-eyed wolf with a frown, and said through gritted teeth, “Big Sister, stop talking! What are we going to do with these guys?”
