?Reading on mobile phone For Qin Feng, the girls had been quite generous in welcoming new friends, but wasn't that a bit excessive? E-book: Mei Hui looked slightly displeased, saying, "What's going on with Xiao Feng? She's just been allowed to enter the nursery, and now she's even permitted to uproot young seedlings—one after another. That simply doesn't make sense!" Hou Bao shrugged, saying, "That's precisely why I asked you all to come. Since it's Xiao Feng's matter, I simply can't intervene!" Although Qin Feng always regarded him as a senior, the old man was very aware of his own position and never let seniority become a reason for asserting authority. In his mind, hard work was the real path to success. Fang Fang also felt rather unhappy, saying, "She's already being so indulgent just now, how will she ever stay humble in the future?" "Yi Shi is the most observant person. With a slightly furrowed brow, she said, 'Something's off. I feel this girl is special. You're all focusing on her husband's expression—helpless, more than accommodating. That suggests he might be doing it out of necessity!' Hearing her analysis, the two women found themselves puzzled as well. 'Indeed, she seems unusual. She appears similar to us, yet there's a clear distinction,' Mei Hui also noticed the difference. Hou Bao was taken aback. 'Wait—she's not a cultivator!' Fang Fang shook her head. 'I'm certain she isn't. The fact that her husband shows such a helpless expression points to two things: first, she's beautiful, and second—there's another reason!' The three women spoke in unison: 'They simply can't beat her!' It must be said that the women truly understand their husbands well. Hou Bao was stunned. 'How could that be? Xiao Feng is currently the top cultivator in the realm. How could he possibly lose to her? Unless—this girl has already transcended the realm of cultivators!' "It's very likely," Mei Hui nodded. "Well, then, let him be." The old man continued with his previous research. The three women exchanged glances and then turned their attention back to the display screen. The beautiful Inspector turned to look at him, her brow furrowed. "Yes, I still have to manage you all. You're so uncooperative—perhaps you'll cause me some trouble. But I've already uprooted so many of these plants; I certainly can't go back and replant them all for you. Then why don't you come and take over?" Qin Shao sighed, clearly exasperated. "Thank you, but I truly have no experience in cultivating medicinal herbs. Since the plants have already been dug up, I'll take them back and replant them properly. If necessary, I'll serve as your inside contact—whenever there's any development in the cultivation world, I'll keep you informed right away. How about that?" Qingya thought for a moment, then slapped her thigh. "That's a splendid idea! Then I'll have ample time to carefully manage these precious herbs. By the way, I won't let you work for nothing—let's make you Deputy Inspector of the Chinese cultivation world!" Qin Shao's heart warmed with delight. He hadn't expected that a casual suggestion would be taken so seriously. The Vice Inspector, isn't he one step below the emperor yet above all others? Then I can continue to cause trouble in the cultivation realm, no one daring to question or intervene... Ahem, seems like "causing trouble" is a negative term—how can I possibly describe myself that way? Pfft. He desperately tried to conceal his joy, rubbing his hands and asking, "And then what?" "What then?" Qingya was taken aback. Qin, scratching his head carefully, said, "Being a Vice Inspector—doesn't one expect some benefits, right? Or perhaps more precisely, since I'm doing the work, shouldn't I at least receive a salary?" The beautiful Inspector shook her head, responding firmly, "No." "No way! How can that be? As an Inspector, don't you also receive a salary?" He grew increasingly anxious. Could it be that you all are truly selfless, working without any compensation? If that's the case, then I'll gladly accept it. "Of course not." "Qingya smiled and said, 'After becoming a Supervisor of Inspection, you receive corresponding pills as rewards each year, and if you achieve notable results, you can also obtain powerful artifacts!' Qin, eyes widening, exclaimed, 'Then why haven't I, as an Assistant Supervisor, received anything? I'm demanding equal treatment! Even if not at the same level, at least some compensation should be provided!' Qingya looked at him, a bit embarrassed, and replied, 'You were appointed temporarily, and since your appointment wasn't registered at the Central Inspection Office, you're not eligible for any salary. Do you understand my point?' Qin sighed, huffing, 'So you're saying I'm just a temporary worker!' 'Exactly,' the beautiful woman clapped her hands. 'In the Chinese nation, aren't there many auxiliary police officers and temporary staff who aren't part of the official government hierarchy? Yet their work enthusiasm remains high!' Qin's face turned the color of the bottom of a pot, and he said with growing displeasure, "Isn't it true that even temporary staff get paid? Yet you make me work for nothing—how can that be acceptable?" "Let's just show a little grace," Qingya said with a tone reminiscent of pouting. "Without any benefits, I won't do it," Qin replied, scowling. He thought to himself, How foolish of me—this kind of charm appeal doesn't work on someone as experienced as me. I'm done. "Then, I'll grant you a special privilege: whenever a cultivator commits misconduct, you can represent me in imposing disciplinary action on them," the female inspector offered, making concessions to achieve her goal. "That's quite a significant power, isn't it? Even if you ever use it to settle your personal grudges or make small, private gains, I'll simply overlook it!" "That's a solid suggestion, but if Qin wants to gain more benefits, he can't be too eager to agree. He huffed, 'All things considered, you're still making me work for nothing. You'll have to offer me something extra—otherwise, I'm not buying it!' The woman stared steadily at his face, calm and composed, 'This is the maximum authority I can grant you. Please take some time to consider it.' 'I've already considered it,' Qin said, spreading his hands out. The woman immediately frowned, 'Qin, don't give me that act of courtesy and then act otherwise! Either way, today you're agreeing—whether you want to or not!' 'Why?' he countered firmly. 'If you insist, I'll have to beat you up!' 'Then I agree.'
