Manager Lu chased the tree demon to a locust forest, and then lost her trace.

Not long after, Chen Mang and Hongyu also rushed over. Hongyu quickly found a locust tree along the mark she left behind and said to Chen Mang: "Young Master, the true body of the tree demon is this tree."

Manager Lu's eyes shone when he heard this, he opened his mouth and sucked it. The whole tree was uprooted and sucked into his mouth with soil.

After chewing a few bites, Manager Lu said in confusion: "This is not her real body, it's too light and it doesn't taste good enough."

Chen Mang glanced at the heavy-tasting shopkeeper Lu and complained: "You think you eat stinky tofu."

Hongyu frowned and said, "I clearly saw her soul enter this tree..."

Chen Mang used the Ksitigarbha's eyes to scan the woods in front of him, and found that there was a demonic aura everywhere, and he could not find the place where the tree demon hides. He couldn't help but have a guess in his heart.

At this time, dozens of monsters arrived one after another and walked to Chen Mang to greet him. Manager Lu's army divided into 300 groups of monsters finally arrived.

Looking at the monsters who were frightened and trepidated because of the misunderstanding, Chen Mang waved his hand and told them not to care. He said to Hongyu: "The true body of the tree demon is actually right in front of us. To be precise, the entire locust forest is her real body. A thousand years of cultivation is enough for her to grow into a forest."

Hongyu suddenly realized and said, "So that's the case. Then let's set fire to the woods!"

Chen Mang smiled and said, "No need. It is difficult for trees to become essence, and it is even rare for thousands of years to grow tree spirits. Her true body is a great tonic for these little demons."

Hearing Chen Mang's words, a few rabbit spirits had already had red lights in their eyes, staring at the nearby trees, looking drooling.

"Let's eat with your stomach, don't leave the roots behind!"

With Chen Mang's order, a group of vegetarian witches showed their true bodies one after another, causing harm to the locust forest. Some held the trunks and chewed them, while others drilled holes to the ground to eat the roots. In an instant, the demonic energy soared into the sky.

"Ahhhh! Bodhisattva, please spare your life!"

The screams of the tree demon then rang out, and he wailed and appeared.

Chen Mang was too lazy to talk nonsense to her, and a sharp fire was fired, burning the tree demon's soul in an instant.

Looking at the woods that are gradually becoming riddled with holes, Chen Mang ordered: "From now on, the Black Mountains and here in the Yin-Yang Realm will be our territory. Leave some people to take over the territory and inform the nearby little demons and ask them to abide by our rules."

"Yes, young master!"

Manager Lu agreed, then reluctantly looked at the forest and begged flatteringly: "Young master, let the little one stay. The little one is good at dancing, and he will definitely take care of this place for you."

Chen Mang's lips twitched slightly, staring at the strange creature in front of him that appeared once every five thousand years, gritted his teeth and said, "Get back and concentrate on managing an inn! Apart from the business and information of the restaurant, if you dare to take the initiative to touch other things, I will kill you immediately!"

Manager Lu was so scared that he begged for mercy and said, "Young Master, please spare me, little one, get back immediately!" After that, he lay on the ground and rolled out of the forest.

Getting out more than ten meters away, his figure suddenly disappeared, as if he had used a fairy technique.

Immediately afterwards, Manager Lu’s painful voice sounded deep underground: “Oh! Which bastard has dug a hole!”

Hongyu laughed out loud and teased: "Young Master, your subordinates are so interesting."

Chen Mang sighed with regret: "Oh, a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they are the worst I have ever led!"

When Chen Mang returned to Lanruo Temple, Xiaoqian had already returned to the urn. Ning Caichen sat on the bed and laughed in a daze as he looked at the people on the painting.

Chen Mang walked over and took a look, and saw that there were four-line poems on the scroll where there were originally only characters.

"The sky is full of frost in ten miles, and the green hair is filled with sorrow. I look at each other with a single moon shape, and I only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals."

Seeing the poem, Chen Mang smiled playfully and bowed to Ning Caichen and said, "Brother Ning, congratulations!"

Ning Caichen came to his senses and said in a little confused: "What are you congratulating me?"

"Congratulations on becoming an adult!"

Chen Mang teased ambiguously, Ning Caichen immediately blushed, put away the scroll in panic, and said, "Brother Chen, I want to bring Xiaoqian's ashes back to her hometown for burial so that she can be reincarnated and reincarnated. I will not be able to accompany you in the past two days."

Chen Mang asked with a hint of curiosity: "Are you willing to give up? Xiaoqian has a good talent and has the potential to become a ghost immortal. Then he will appear in the sun and stay with you forever."

Ning Caichen paused for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Although I don't mind different ways of being a human being, being reincarnated as a human being is her best choice. I would rather wait for her for more than ten or twenty years."

Seeing that Ning Caichen was not moved by his proposal, Chen Mang couldn't help but feel some appreciation in his heart. He patted him on the shoulder and walked out the door, secretly asking two little demons to escort him to Nie Xiaoqian's hometown.

One month later, under the majestic and majestic city of Jinling, two scholars rode donkeys and stopped slowly in front of the city gate.

Ning Caichen got off the donkey and said with a depressed look on his face: "Brother Chen, your donkey is walking too slowly. It was obvious that it took half a month for seven days to walk, which almost delayed our exam period."

Chen Mang immediately argued: "If you walk slowly, you can blame the donkey. How can you blame me? Moreover, my family is full of meat donkeys. Do you know the meat donkey? You can raise it for food! If you buy it yourself, you should bear the consequences yourself. Anyway, I will not refund the money!"

"I didn't say I wanted you to refund the money."

Ning Caichen rolled his eyes, led the donkey to the checkpoint ahead, and sighed, "Fortunately, the exam period has not been delayed. This time, the candidates from Jiangnan Road and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Road have all come to Jinling for the exam. There must be a lot of people. We have to find a place to stay."

Chen Mang nodded and said, "Don't think about the inn anymore. It must be full. Find a temple or a wealthy family to stay in."

Ning Caichen was slightly stunned: "A wealthy families are willing to take in scholars who are taking the exam?"

Chen Mang looked at Ning Caichen with a smile: "Isn't it common for wealthy families to recruit scholars? They specially recruit candidates with outstanding literary and handsome appearance as son-in-laws. This is how the saying of catching a son-in-law is from the list. Brother Ning, as the second beautiful man in Jiangnan, is their first choice!"

Ning Caichen said laughing and crying: "When will I become the second beautiful man in Jiangnan? Who is the first one? It's not Brother Chen, are you?"

Chen Mang widened his eyes in surprise: "How did you know? I haven't told anyone!"

Ning Caichen shook his head with a smile, took out his test certificate and looked at the soldiers guarding the pass, and passed the city gate tower smoothly.
