The celestial light had brightened, and Zhou Xuan, who rarely had a good night's sleep, felt refreshed. After dressing and washing up, he headed to the hall.

In the hall of the Jingyi Shop, Yun Ziliang was listening to Bai Guang's new song, nodding along.

"Huh, Lao Yun, I remember we don't have a record of this song at home."

Zhou Xuan, listening to the lyrics, felt somewhat unfamiliar.

"Bai Guang knows I love her songs. She released a new song and specially had someone send me a new record."

Yun Ziliang, as if showing off treasures, opened the cabinet of the phonograph, took out a kraft paper bag, and handed it to Zhou Xuan to see: "Look, it even has Bai Guang's signature on it."

"I didn't expect that at your age, you'd become part of a support group."

Zhou Xuan glanced at the paper bag, Bai Guang's elegant handwriting seemed to flow on the kraft paper.

"This handwriting is really impressive."

After complimenting it, Zhou Xuan returned the paper bag to Yun Ziliang and walked to the doorway, feeling the morning's tranquility.

On East Market Street, whether it's broad daylight or late at night, it's never really peaceful.

Daytime is when people are active, while nighttime is when shops come alive. Only in the morning does it become so quiet.

On Stone Plate Street, a few old farmers carrying vegetables respectfully set them on the street's edge, waiting quietly for buyers without shouting.

Zhou Xuan went to a stall, picked a few fresh radishes and two bunches of leafy greens, returned to the shop, and stored them in the kitchen before asking Yun Ziliang, "Where's Brother Peng?"

"Mr. Peng, being of God-level now, is quite busy."

Yun Ziliang said: "The Heavenly Vault God-level was initially appointed by Jing Country's will to oversee the human world, mainly as overseers. But since humanity's Heavenly Gods have been inactive, they've taken the responsibility of 'guarding the human world.'

This task of guarding humanity, the first priority, is ensuring favorable weather, aligning the climate with the cycles,

A few days ago, Peng Hou, Ghost hand, and the Heavenly Official, these three God-level beings, were either plotting with the people of Buddha Country on how to stir up waves in Mingjiang Prefecture or falling,

The weather in various areas of Mingjiang Prefecture has been erratic, leading to either floods or droughts. Once a drought appeared, countless locusts followed, threatening to ruin the farmers' annual harvest..."

"So Brother Peng went to visit Mingjiang Prefecture, surveying the climate to manage wind and rain?"

"Of course, he went, and Music Master went too. They are now like old farmers visiting rural areas. They say new officials burn three fires, and as God-level, they naturally need to do something for the common people. Otherwise, how would they differ from Peng Hou and that lot?"

Yun Ziliang was somewhat proud of his old friend's actions.

Zhou Xuan thought Music Master and Peng Sheng did quite well.

Although their cultivation in the Incense Fire Divine Dao lagged behind other Heavenly Vault God-level beings, their dedication to serving the common people showed true divine demeanor.

"Lao Yun, have you had breakfast? I noticed a few small lambs hanging outside Sister Cui's doorway. I reckon there's small pot lamb soup available."

Zhou Xuan said.

"Well, what are we waiting for, let's do it."

Hearing about the lambs hanging out, Yun Ziliang, who could only eat food energy despite having a half-human, half-ghost nature, felt his appetite stir even more than usual, salivating slightly even from a distance from Sister Cui's shop.

"Lao Yun, the three stone Buddhas don't have real bodies; they're using Peng Sheng's and the Zhou Family's fourth generation Nuodai's corpses to move,

Peng Sheng's body has been returned, and Nuodai's body, my sister has already entrusted to Lord Jian and Lord Jiu, is being transported back to Ping Shui Prefecture from Peng Town,

As of now, Miss Qiang wants to make a body for you, but suitable materials are hard to come by, so..."

"Xuanzi, my old arms and legs, don't keep worrying about them. If you can find a suitable body for me, that's our good fortune. If not, then it's just not meant to be."

Feigning a carefree demeanor, Yun Ziliang said: "I'm lucky to get it, and it's fate if I lose it, no need to force it... Oh... that soup smells so good."

At this point, Yun Ziliang had already occupied a table and pulled up a chair to sit down.

Zhou Xuan then went to find Sister Cui to buy the soup.

"Sister Cui, did the big lambs sell out yesterday? You've got more little lambs today."

"With this cooler weather, suddenly more customers are eating lamb, I went to get more last night, but couldn't find any, all were pre-ordered by various big and small restaurants,

Local lambs are still for sale, but they're too gamey, not acceptable to many customers, so I didn't buy those... Managed to get these few little lambs by persuading people and paying twenty percent more."

Sister Cui lifted a separate pot she had prepared; the soup was creamy white, with pieces of tender lamb gently bubbling up and down.

"These lambs aren't for sale; they're to treat you and a few good friends. This pot for you, Mr. Yun, and Ya Zi is ready. With added wolfberries, angelica, and ginseng, it's very nourishing,

The other three, Little Fuzi and Hua Zi can share one, one saved for Fifth Brother, and one for Xiao Xi from the Huang Family."

Sister Cui is an honest businesswoman, but honest doesn't mean foolish. She's very shrewd in running her business, thoughtful, purchasing lambs to treat friends with a feast, all while carefully calculating, ensuring fairness and balance.

"Sister Cui's calculations are brilliantly precise."

Zhou Xuan gave a thumbs up in praise.

"Years of business experience honed it, and among us spirit monsters, the more prominent the family, the keener the intelligence. The Hu Family's spirit monsters are ranked first, known for their meticulousness, adept at navigating the webs of social reciprocity."

Now, when talking with Zhou Xuan, Sister Cui was open and candid, speaking freely about the nature and heritage of spirit monsters.
