"It's not like there are no benefits to be had; this is just the beginning, isn't it?"

Although he felt a bit of schadenfreude towards the Second Pot Bro's fruitless efforts, Hu Ma still smiled and comforted him for the sake of unity, "Actually, I think the biggest benefit this time might just fall into your hands!"

"Huh?"

Second Pot's voice sounded a bit depressed and regretful, listlessly saying, "With things as they are, what good can come of it?"

"The Five Fiend Gods have all been slain..."

"The treasures have all been snatched away..."

"The only benefit I can get is to take back half of the treasures in Fox Coffin Village, but the key is that I have to buy them back..."

"..."

Perhaps at this point, he truly regretted it. This incident was a huge mess. The hall masters were all killed, and countless treasures and wronged ghosts were swept away, just like those yin spirits who had worshipped the Five Fiend Lords in life and became little ghosts around the Five Fiend Lords after death.

With the death of the Five Fiend Lords, most of them were also cleared out, but there were still many left, and at this time, they could only attach themselves to the newly built temple of the Red Lantern Goddess. There were quite a few of them.

In other words, even the Red Lantern Goddess benefited from this.

But on the other hand, Second Pot felt the pain but could only accept the result, because this cooperation was agreed upon from the beginning. Everyone would rely on their own abilities, and the good things they earned would naturally be kept for themselves.

In short, if you could earn it, you could earn it; if you couldn't, there was no reason for others to share it with you.

Now that things were over, Second Pot was getting more and more of a headache.

"The Five Fiend Gods are dead, but the matter is not over yet."

Hu Ma slowed down his voice to make his words seem more weighty, and said in a low voice, "This time, I was always by that Little Hall Official's side and saw the noble who came out of the mountains. Naturally, I also heard some of their words and discovered..."

"They don't seem to be of one mind with Plum Blossom Lane!"

"..."

"Plum Blossom Lane?"

Second Pot paused when he heard this and said, "Of course they're not of one mind."

"The residents of Plum Blossom Lane are incense sharers. The incense sharers all have backgrounds. How could they be of one mind with this noble from Mingzhou? Heh heh, they're the ones eating the most fragrant oil in Mingzhou. In the end, isn't the Red Lantern Goddess just running errands for them?"

"Do you know why I was able to make our Red Lantern Goddess the only menace in Mingzhou and even get the opportunity to build a temple?"

"That's because I see the distribution of benefits here more clearly than other blood food gangs and have been helping the Goddess manage all aspects of things. They all think the Goddess is efficient in her work, so she can rise up, right?"

"..."

"Yes."

Hu Ma slowly said, "But this time, even that noble is dissatisfied with Plum Blossom Lane, so if the Red Lantern Society can take this opportunity..."

He stopped speaking here.

"Ouch..."

Second Pot was obviously taken aback, "Are you referring to the incense-sharing job in Plum Blossom Lane?"

"Is this something I... no, is this something our Red Lantern Goddess can covet? Plum Blossom Lane also has a considerable background. Right now, it's just the incense sharers here. What about the ghostwriters? Or even the Big Hall Official above this Little Hall Official?"

"..."

"Sigh..."

Listening to his cautious words, Hu Ma shook his head helplessly, thinking, "It's no wonder you end up empty-handed..."

He wanted to take this opportunity to instigate Second Pot to take care of Plum Blossom Lane. After all, he himself was indeed dissatisfied with Plum Blossom Lane this time, but he didn't have a suitable opportunity to take action.

After all, dealing with such people by directly storming their door is not appropriate. He is not after all Di Gua Shao, he wants to play mind games and use connections, but he doesn't have that much energy. But if the Red Lantern Goddess Society wants to deal with Plum Blossom Lane, it has the strength and foundation.

It's just that Second Pot Bro seems to be impervious to reason now, so what to do?

"Heh heh, I think this is a good opportunity..."

Unexpectedly, Miss White Wine spoke up at this time. She seemed to be pondering deeply and slowly said, "Is Lao Bai Gan just feeling that the noble and Plum Blossom Lane are not on good terms? In my opinion, it's definitely not that simple."

"This time, the Five Fiend Gods clearly came for that noble, and it involved innocent people, killing and injuring many people. This is originally something that Plum Blossom Lane should have stepped in on, but they have been hiding in the city, which in itself explains a problem."

"Since Plum Blossom Lane wants to see that noble make a fool of himself, how can that noble not be happy to see Plum Blossom Lane being expelled from Mingzhou Prefecture?"

"..."

Second Pot listened to Hu Ma's opinion and Miss White Wine's opinion differently. He immediately felt a slight movement in his heart and said, "You mean, that noble is also happy to see someone replace Plum Blossom Lane?"

"How would I know?"

Miss White Wine laughed and said, "I just think that since that noble has appointed a Little Hall Official in Mingzhou, it means that this is the noble's territory..."

"Since it's his territory, if the oil and water here is still being taken away by others, or even by people who are not of one mind with him, can he feel comfortable? With his status, he may not be able to directly attack Plum Blossom Lane, but he must be happy to see certain things happen."

"Of course, this is just an opportunity, and no one can say for sure whether this is the case, but if we want to earn some benefits, we must be bold at the right time. Otherwise, do we have to wait for others to feed the benefits into our mouths?"

"Even Lao Bai Gan's act of hugging this thigh is a risk..."

"..."

A series of words made Second Pot silent, not knowing if he was really moved.

Everyone felt the change in Second Pot's attitude and didn't dare to disturb him for a while. Only Di Gua Shao tentatively said, "Lao Bai Gan Senior, Second Pot Senior, the incense sharing you just mentioned... is very beneficial?"

"Benefits?"

Miss White Wine smiled and said, "If you can really get the power to share incense, is that just a benefit?"

"A little bit that leaks through the cracks in your fingers is enough to cure hundreds of your legs..."

"..."

Di Gua Shao gasped, "Hiss..."

"...What kind of sect do the people in Plum Blossom Lane belong to? What kind of treasures do they have to protect them? How many people are there in their family?"

"..."

"Don't ask..."

Second Pot panicked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "You've earned the most this time, isn't that enough? Don't rush to stir up trouble. The hall masters have all been killed. How can you not be afraid?"

"Heh heh."

Miss White Wine only sneered and said, "Even if Di Gua Shao doesn't snatch your opportunity, there's no guarantee that others won't come to snatch it!"

"Some things that we Reincarnators can see, doesn't mean that the natives can't see them. Plum Blossom Lane is a piece of fat, and if your Red Lantern Society isn't in a hurry to take action, maybe others will rush to the front."

"In case someone really makes a move against Plum Blossom Lane in advance and gets the noble's attention and approval, won't your Red Lantern Society still be doomed to offer tribute to others? Are you going to bite the bullet and move the noble's people at that time?"

"..."

"Eh?"

Hu Ma had been listening from the side and was a little surprised.

Miss White Wine seems to be a little different from before. She's mocking Second Pot with all her might right now, but when it comes down to it, she was also very cautious before...

Now, what is she doing by so relentlessly inciting Second Pot?

However, it can be seen that Second Pot seems quite tempted. It's not that he's easily persuaded, it's just that everyone else has earned something, but he's the only one who's come up empty-handed, and he feels quite unbalanced.

This is the easiest time to be persuaded.

Ah, this person...

If you had been so diligent earlier and taken down the Wealth Fiend Altar Envoy, wouldn't those Golden and Silver Dolls have really fallen into your hands?

Now it's good, those Golden and Silver Dolls have been taken back by Seventh Aunt to raise.

It's not that Hu Ma didn't want to take these Golden and Silver Dolls back to raise himself, but these two dolls, as powerful as they are, are not easy to serve.

They were originally treasures of heaven and earth, capable of promoting wealth and prosperity, and also of bewitching people's minds. Especially after being refined into Fiend Treasures by the Wealth Fiend Altar Envoy, their power increased even more. They could both protect a region, bring wealth and fortune, and be used as magical weapons, blowing out golden and silver energy to confuse people's minds.

If they were obtained, even forces like the Red Lantern Goddess Society would treat them as treasures at the bottom of their chests and offer them up properly. But these two dolls are not like ordinary weapons that can be used as soon as they are taken.

They need to be supported with special methods and energy.

He is a Year Keeper and has to learn the methods of Suppressing the Year, so he doesn't have the energy to specially raise these two dolls. If he delays it, whether the two dolls rebel or he raises them wrong, it's not worth it.

Therefore, after the Huang Gou Village game ended, Hu Ma left the two of them to Seventh Aunt. One is that Seventh Aunt is now a Little Hall Official and needs someone to protect her, and the other is that Seventh Aunt is very idle and can just support them.

When needed, he can just borrow them from her.

"Anyway, everyone has a good understanding in their hearts, so that's good. This matter, I have to say, can be considered very satisfactory."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Hu Ma smiled and added, "But the matter has just been completed, so there will naturally be some loose ends. I will hold onto this thigh tightly. If there is any information, I will come and tell you."

"It's not convenient to say more now."

"That Little Hall Official drank too much and fell asleep in my village. What if..."

"..."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was horrified and hurriedly said, "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Even if it's just a Little Hall Official by the noble's side, you have to be careful that she has unique abilities. Mingzhou is not stable right now. We just got the benefits, so don't capsize in the gutter."

"..."

As he spoke, they left, giving people a sense of scattering like birds and beasts.

"Is there a need to be so afraid?"

Hu Ma was a little surprised and couldn't help thinking that if this was the case, then he could use Seventh Aunt's name to scare them in the future...
