Chapter 110

<Lin Zaozao> cleared her throat and walked to the front. She helped up an elderly woman kneeling at the very front and said loudly, "Everyone, please get up quickly. I've heard your gratitude. Please get up."

Behind <Lin Zaozao> stood <Dashan> and <Xiao Taohua>. Seeing this moving scene before them, they also stepped forward to help <Lin Zaozao> get the people kneeling in front back on their feet one by one.

Once everyone who had been kneeling on the ground was standing, <Lin Zaozao> pointed to the variety of foods spread out in the yard and said loudly, "Everyone, I understand your feelings. But there aren't too many people in my family. It's very likely that I'll be going on a long trip in a few days. So take all this food back with you! Otherwise, it'll just be wasteful left here with me."

As soon as <Lin Zaozao>'s words fell, everyone standing outside the yard instantly went silent.

Master Lin, could she be looking down on their gifts?

Seeing everyone silent, <Lin Zaozao> also realized they had misunderstood. But with a whole yard full of stuff, she really couldn't eat it all!

Just as <Lin Zaozao> was wondering how to persuade the villagers outside, a cold, clear voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Everyone, Zaozao understands your feelings. We'll keep some of this food and you can take the rest back so it doesn't go to waste.

Also, to show her appreciation, she has specially prepared some herbal medicine to clear heat and detoxify for you all. Take this medicine back and drink it twice a day. Within three days, your health will be restored."

<Lin Zaozao> turned her head to see <Little Xibei> in white robes trimmed with golden tassels.

At this time, his expression was cold, but his behavior somehow inspired a sense of conviction.

<Little Xibei> cut quite a mysterious, noble figure right now.

He really deserved to be called a royal tutor!

With his current bearing, he did not look like an ordinary person at all.

But when <Little Xibei> turned and casually raised his brows at <Lin Zaozao>, she realized the magical, mysterious aura he had exuded just now had vanished without a trace.

As expected, most of this royal tutor's act was for show!

After <Little Xibei> smiled at the stunned <Lin Zaozao>, he turned back around. Some soldiers dressed in black and red armor came over, carrying dozens of boxes of herbal medicine and placing them at the gate.

"Everyone, although these medicines aren't worth much money, they represent Master Lin's feelings. Take them back with you to alleviate your urgent needs."

As soon as <Little Xibei> finished speaking, the villagers at the gate knelt down before <Lin Zaozao> once more.

Seeing the villagers kneeling at the gate again, <Lin Zaozao> was about to go help them up but was stopped by <Little Xibei>.

<Little Xibei> leaned in next to <Lin Zaozao>'s ear and whispered,

"Zaozao, as an auspicious omen and great immortal master, you must keep up the image.Yoouur favorite novels at novelhall.com

Helping people up personally would diminish the master's aura."

After hearing <Little Xibei>'s words, <Lin Zaozao> looked at the villagers kneeling at the gate. She turned back and asked <Little Xibei> doubtfully,

"What should I do now then? I can't just let them keep kneeling outside!"

"It's simple. Zaozao, stand tall, speak deeply and slowly, and then tell them to rise."

"Alright, I'll do as you said. I just need to put on an act as the great immortal master! I'm best at that."

Having said so, <Lin Zaozao> immediately drew herself up proudly, took a deep breath, and prepared to tell the people kneeling on the ground to stand up.

"Everyone... cough, cough..."

Seeing <Little Xibei> shoot her a puzzled look, <Lin Zaozao> turned aside and whispered,

Aside from upgrading the <Marrow Washing Liquid> and beauty fluids, the system will also randomly give out other rewards for the host to choose between.

Aside from the <Marrow Washing Liquid> and beauty fluids, the host can also apply those random rewards to other people without having to gain weight yourself.]

[That's so great! Then System, when I reach Level 3, aside from getting <Marrow Washing Liquid> and beauty fluids, what kinds of rewards does the system usually give out?]

[Host, the rewards given out are random, so this system does not know.]

[That's pretty good too. System, I love you! Mwah!]

[Host, go away!]

[Alright, I'm going! Bye!]

After conversing with the system, <Lin Zaozao>'s mood immediately improved.

Over mountains and rivers we go, doubting there is no road ahead. Yet past the willows and flowers, another village comes into sight!

The system's approach just now was still quite clear!

Thinking about how aside from <Marrow Washing Liquid> and beauty fluids, she would also get rewards to choose between in the future, <Lin Zaozao> grinned gleefully with eyes narrowed to slits.

What were those rewards for choosing one out of two options!

Would it make her more and more overbearing? Or would it make her richer and richer? Or maybe, would it make her smarter and smarter?

No matter what the rewards were, she was happy. Free gifts that could also be given to others should not be turned down.

"Good morning, what are you thinking about? Why do you look so happy?"

Facing Little Xibei's inquiring eyes, Lin Zaozao hugged his head and gave him a loud kiss.

"I was thinking about how the villagers gave us so many things, and wondering what I should do with them. There are so many things that we simply can't finish eating."

"Is that it? It's quite simple. I will send people in a bit to distribute these things to the poor people on your behalf."

Little Xibei's words made Lin Zaozao's expression involuntarily freeze for a moment. She looked up at Little Xibei, hesitated for a second, and said:

"Little Xibei, do you know the saying 'Raise a grain of rice to earn a grain of enmity'? Once I unconditionally give things to others, won't they come looking to me again if they encounter difficulties in the future?"

"Zaozao, leave this to me. I guarantee they won't dare come to you again and ask for things without reason.

Besides, you saved so many lives during this plague, let alone you not agreeing to help, those disaster victims you aided wouldn't agree either."

Little Xibei's words made Lin Zaozao involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief.

That works too. Giving things to people in need prevents waste and earns some goodwill, not bad.

"Okay then, you handle things here. It's getting late, let's go eat!"

Lin Zaozao took Little Taohua and Little Xibei in hand and gestured for Dashan to follow them.

But she had only taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Zaozao?"

"Little Taohua, it looks like we forgot something."

"Forgot something? Zaozao, what did you forget?"
