The evil woman cultivates immortality, and the whole clan offers sacrifice to the heaven

"I am flattered by the city lord's kindness. But I am used to being idle and I am afraid I am not qualified for such an important task."

The city lord quickly waved his hands, his tone sincere.

"My friend, there is no need to refuse. With your strength and intelligence, what does the position of deputy city lord mean to you?

Although my city is not big, there are hundreds of thousands of monsters in the city. If you become the deputy city lord, you will not have to worry about cultivation resources in the future.

Meng Wan pondered for a moment, and a hint of intention flashed in his eyes.

"Since the city lord is so kind, I will obey your order. However, I have a condition."

"Young friend, please speak."

The city lord was delighted and spoke quickly.

"Although I am the deputy city lord, I don't like to be bothered by trivial matters. If it is not a big deal, don't bother me."

Meng Wan said lightly.

The city lord laughed and agreed readily, "Of course! You only need to help at critical moments, and you can do whatever you want on weekdays."

Meng Wan nodded, her lips slightly raised, "In that case, thank you for your kindness, City Lord."

The city lord heaved a sigh of relief, and his smile widened. "I've said so much, but I still haven't asked for your name."

"My surname is Meng, and my given name is Wan."

"Meng Wan, what a great name! I'm Jiao Ming Shan, and I've been in charge of this city for hundreds of years!"

Jiao Ming raised his glass and said loudly, "Come, let me toast to Deputy City Lord Meng first!"

Meng Wan picked up the wine glass, clinked it lightly with the city lord's, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The two smiled at each other, as if the tension just now had never happened.

Meng Wan put down her wine glass and thought to herself.

The position of deputy city lord is indeed a good identity for her.

Although she traveled as a demon, her knowledge of the Heavenly Demon Realm was limited to the ancient records in the Tiandao Academy.

Although those records are detailed, they are ultimately just theory and are inevitably different from the actual situation.

Now that she has the status of deputy city lord, she can legitimately access the core resources of the demon clan.

Gain an in-depth understanding of the distribution of power, cultivation system, and secrets of each race in the Heavenly Demon Realm.

"Deputy City Lord Meng, since you have agreed to take on this position, why don't I take you to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the city?"

Jiao Mingshan smiled, with a hint of tentativeness in his tone.

Meng Wan smiled slightly, her tone calm.

"Don't worry, Lord. I'm new here and I know nothing about the city's affairs. If I intervene rashly, it might backfire.

Why don't you let me walk around the city first, get familiar with the environment, and then make plans."

When Jiao Mingshan heard this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He had been worried that Meng Wan would use her position as deputy city lord to interfere in the city's affairs. Now that he saw that she was so tactful, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"That's fine. Deputy City Lord Meng has just arrived and needs time to familiarize himself with the environment. I'll have someone show you around right now. If you need anything, just let me know."

Jiao Mingshan laughed.

Meng Wan nodded in thanks, then stood up and said goodbye.

Jiao Mingshan watched her leave, the smile on his face gradually faded, and a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes.

"This woman's strength is unfathomable, and her origins remain a mystery, but since she has accepted the position of deputy city lord, at least she will not be my enemy."

He whispered to himself, a deep look in his eyes.

At the same time, Meng Wan, accompanied by the general manager, strolled in the city lord's mansion.

She seemed to be looking around casually, but in fact she had a clear view of the layout, formations and guard distribution of the mansion.

"Deputy City Lord Meng, this is the Sutra Library, which contains the ancient books accumulated by the city over the generations. If you are interested, you can come and check it out at any time."

The butler said respectfully.

When Meng Wan heard this, a hint of interest flashed in her eyes. The Sutra Hall was one of the destinations of her trip.

She nodded and said calmly, "Thank you, butler. I'll come back in a few days."

Seeing this, the manager secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the new deputy city lord is powerful, he has a humble attitude and is much easier to get along with than expected.

After wandering around the city for a few days and getting familiar with the environment, Meng Wan came to the Sutra Hall alone.

The scriptures in the Sutra Hall are vast and cover the history, geography, cultivation techniques and secrets of various ethnic groups in the Heavenly Demon Realm.

She picked up an ancient book and started flipping through it.

The characters used by the demon race are different from those used by humans.

However, having reached her level of cultivation, learning a new language is just a matter of taking a few more glances.

"Sure enough, the contents recorded in these books are more detailed than the books in Tiandao Academy."

Meng Wan was secretly happy.

As she flipped through the pages, she memorized the important information.

Just as she was immersed in the classics, she suddenly sensed a strange smell.

She frowned slightly and looked up at the corner of the attic, but only saw a fleeting, blurry black shadow.

"It seems that Jiaomingshan is not confident in me."

Meng Wan sneered in her heart but did not show it.

She continued to flip through the books, as if she was unaware of the dark shadow.

The escaping black shadow patted his chest with lingering fear and hurried to report to the city lord.

"City Lord, Deputy City Lord Meng has been wandering around outside these days and reading books in the Sutra Hall. He has not done anything else."

The guard reported respectfully.

Jiao Mingshan frowned when he heard this, "What books has she read?"

"I dare not take a closer look. However, Deputy City Lord Meng seems to be quite interested in the history and cultivation system of the Heavenly Demon Realm."

Jiao Mingshan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand.

"Keep watching her. If you see anything unusual, report it immediately."

The guard looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a low voice.

"City Lord, I...I may have been discovered by Deputy City Lord Meng."

Upon hearing this, Jiao Mingshan frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"Useless! If you can't even handle such a small matter, what use do I have for you?"

The guard's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt on one knee, bowed his head and apologized.

"I am incompetent, please punish me, City Lord!"

Jiao Mingshan snorted coldly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

He waved his hand, his tone hinting at disdain.

"Forget it. Since she has already noticed it, it is useless to keep staring at her. If I make her unhappy, it will ruin my plan."

The guards heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this, "The city lord is wise!"

Jiao Mingshan glanced at him with a cold tone.

"Go down. Remember, what happened today must not be spread to others."

"Yes!"

The guard responded respectfully and then retreated.

After the guards left, Jiao Mingshan sat alone in the hall, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

"She is so interested in the history and cultivation system of the Heavenly Demon Realm. What is her plan?"

He muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.

After a moment, he suddenly sneered.

"Forget it. As long as she stays in the city obediently, we'll leave her alone for the time being. Counting the days, the man should be here in half a month at most..."

At the same time, in the Sutra Hall.

Meng Wan closed the ancient book in her hand, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Jiaomingshan made her the deputy city lord, and it turned out that he had no good intentions.
