Upon seeing Lu Yang perforin his Imitation Fist, only to appear like Man Gu, Lan Ting silently took out a yellow charm paper.

She might as well draw a Transforming Talisman herself.

True to form, the Immortal Sect, famous for its imagination and magic skills, used a martial technique to emulate a Transformation Technique. This showcased deep comprehension of magic skills, a feat only possible through profound understanding.

It was evident that Lu Yang’s understanding of magic skills had reached a point where he saw beyond the realm of technique, delving directly into the source of it all.

Among those of the same rank, Lan Ting believed no one matched Lu Yang’s proficiency in magic skills.

Lu Yang then remembered — Lan Ting had previously taken the tiger skin to make talismans, it seemed she had considerable attainments in the field of runes.

Lan Ting pointed to her own eyes, “My eyes are a bit unique. They are extremely sensitive to patterns, capable of discerning the core of inscriptions and the Array Eye of the Array Method. I have a natural knack for creating talismans and drawing arrays.

“However, my energy is limited. I mainly focus on making talismans. I only dabble in the Array Method.”

Though Lan Ting spoke modestly, in reality, this was an extraordinary gift. This talent was destined to allow her to go far in the fields of runes and array method, inspiring envy among many masters of runes and arrays.

Soon, Lan Ting had drawn a Transformation Talisman. She pasted it on herself, and her stunning beauty instantly turned ordinary. It was quite magical.

In this way, the barbecue shop welcomed a new employee.

Two days after Lan Ting joined the barbecue shop, it was as busy as ever. With the addition of the new employee, the workload of the three of them was considerably lightened.

Lu Yang noticed Man Gu seemed unhappy. As he served dishes to the customers, he used his Spiritual Sense to ask, “What happened? You don’t seem to be very happy?”

Man Gu nodded, “Brother Lu, have you noticed that the number of customers in our barbecue shop has decreased in the past few days? I’ve calculated the revenue of these past days, it’s indeed the case.”

Lu Yang was taken aback, he had not noticed this: “Is it because of Lan Ting?” Having a female employee should only improve business.

“No, it started to decrease before Lan Ting arrived. I haven’t figured out why it’s happening. I don’t know where we went wrong.” Man Gu had been pondering this problem.

Lu Yang did not mind, he preferred if the barbecue shop was less busy: “Well you keep thinking about it, I’m off to deliver food.”

A month ago, at Meng Jingzhou’s suggestion, the barbecue shop added a home delivery service. During the day, a box is placed at the door. Anyone who wants to order takeout just writes what they want, the delivery time, and the address on a piece of paper, and throws it into the box. In the evening, the three of them take turns delivering.

Today, it was Lu Yang’s turn.

Lu Yang hadn’t been out at night for the past few days. This time, stepping out, he found that the number of pedestrians on the street had decreased from before.

Perhaps this is why the customer flow of the barbecue shop declined, Lu Yang thought.

“Let me see where I’m delivering this time… to the tofu shop on Front Street?”

Wen Xiangyu had heard some time ago that a very popular barbecue shop had opened in the vicinity. She really wanted to try whether it was as delicious as the rumours implied, but ever since her husband passed away, she inherited his tofu shop. As such, she seldom went out at night.

Not to boast, but she vaguely knew that with her fair skin and beautiful looks, she attracted many admirers. Going out alone was inherently dangerous.

Lately, she heard that the barbecue shop provided a delivery service. She wrote down what she wanted on a piece of paper and dropped it into the box outside the barbecue shop.

She had been very sleepy these past few days, today being even worse. She could hardly stay awake before the skewers arrived, so she went to bed early.

The barbecue shop delivery person should be able to wake her up.

Luk Zhi was a thief who had caused a lot of headaches for the constables lately.

He would typically sneak into people’s houses at night, steal their possessions wlrile they were fast asleep, and quickly evacuate, leaving very few clues. When the constables questioned the neighbours for information, the answers they got were that everyone slept too deeply to notice anything outside.

This time, he targeted the tofu shop on Front Street. The tofu shop owner was a renowned beautiful widow. The tofu she made was famous far and wide, making a fortune these past years and becoming the envy of the stores around her.

With his agile body, Luk Zhi easily climbed onto the roof like a monkey and silently twisted open a second-floor window.

“She should be asleep.”

Luk Zhi was quite confident. He had obtained a yellow charm by chance that tasks everyone within fifty meters into a sound sleep. This method never failed him.

Luk Zhi crept with bated breath and saw the beautiful woman lying on the bed. A triumphant smile crossed his face.

Then he turned to rummage through the cupboard looking for valuables. Based on his experience, women tended to keep their belongings over here.

“Nothing?” Luk Zhi frowned, glancing back at the tofu shop’s owner.

If it wasn’t here, it should be under the bed.

He cautiously crouched down, peered under the bed, and his heart skipped a beat.

There was a face under the bed!

“A ghost!”

Zheng Shouhe was a rapist who had been causing headaches for the constables recently. He often hid under the beds of single women well in advance, and when the women were sleeping, he would crawl out and violate them.

However, there were times when he would encounter women having affairs, in which case he could only stay hidden under the bed and wait.

This time, he targeted the tofu shop on Front Street. The tofu shop’s owner was a well-known beautiful widow who had enchanted many.

Zheng Shouhe, like before, hid under the bed early on, waiting for nightfall to have his way with the owner of the tofu shop.

“So sleepy.” Zheng Shouhe had never been as sleepy as he was today. Usually, the longer he waited, the more energetic he felt, but today, for some reason, he felt sleepy.

His eyelids were drooping, and he tried to open his eyes several times but couldn’t resist the sleepiness. Soon, he fell asleep.

A scream woke him up. It seemed someone was shouting ‘ghost’ or something.

Zheng Shouhe eyes snapped open. He saw Luk Zhi under the bed, staring at him in horror. Instantly, he acted. One hand shot out and covered Luk Zhi’s mouth, while the other hand reached behind his waist, pulled out a dagger, and pushed it against Luk Zhi’s neck.

Zheng Shouhe then saw Wen Xiangyu curled up on the bed, quivering with fear.

Obviously, Luk Zhi’s scream had awakened Wen Xiangyu too.

“You too! What an unlucky day!”

Zheng Shouhe growled while fetching a rope to tie Luk Zhi up. Deciding to have his way with Wen Xiangyu first, he planned to kill them both afterwards.

At that moment, a knock came from downstairs.

“Is anyone there? I have your food delivery.”

Zheng Shouhe clicked his tongue irritably. He had terrible luck today. He secured Luk Zhi and made Wen Xiangyu come downstairs with him.

Zheng Shouhe threatened Wen Xiangyu with the dagger and whispered, “Make the guy outside go away!”

Everyone in Yanjiang County knew the beautiful widow who owned the tofu shop lived alone. If he asked the person outside to leave, and that person heard a male voice, they would definitely become suspicious.

“You can leave it at the door. I’ll pick it up later.” Wen Xiangyu said nervously.

“No can do. You haven’t paid me yet.” Responded the person at the door.

Zheng Shouhe’s face turned fierce, “You’re really asking for it!”
