You Shuguan quickly confirmed and communicated with the mysterious customer who needed the mermaid pearls, and also obtained the first deposit.

The client was very reasonable and was willing to give Wang Wei a few days to prepare. Perhaps he knew that his request was too embarrassing, so he did not push him too much.

Wang Wei decided to finish her own business first, and then go to the sea to find that damn mermaid pearl to pay back the debt. She borrowed the legend from You Shuguan, and then went to the place where she bought the wood before, and gave the full amount to the person in charge of the wood shop.

The wood was delivered to the room of the inn where Wang Wei was staying temporarily. Bo Shangmiao opened his eyes wide, and his expression was as surprised as Wang Wei's when he heard him propose to build a shrine.

"Where did you get the money to buy golden nanmu?!" He carefully moved closer with the candlestick and was dazzled by the glittering light of the fine golden nanmu.

"It's nothing, I just took a job." Wang Wei didn't elaborate. After all, this was her own business, and Bo Shangmiao had no reason to help her. Now that he was still needed to help with the carving of the shrine and the statue, that was enough.

Bo Shangmiao looked doubtful. He looked left and right but could not find any clues about Wang Wei. He could not help but said, "What kind of job is so profitable? I have been wandering in the mortal world for a hundred years and saved a little for daily expenses. I bought a house, and the rest is given to you. All in all, it is not as valuable as these few pieces of wood! You, you really spent a lot of money!"

Wang Wei hummed softly a few times as a response.

Since it was an apology, she had to show her sincerity. Whatever gold bricks and silver coins Huo Feng wanted at this moment, she would do her best.

The gods' desires for the mortal world are extremely shallow. Especially since they were born as gods, they have never experienced the days when mortals were troubled by money, so they naturally cannot understand the importance of money.

Bo Shangmiao has been through a lot, but he is the type of person with a big heart. Even if he has all his money, he will take the initiative to help some mortals who need money more than him.

He lived in a remote village for nearly a hundred years, pretending to be a private school teacher and teaching the villagers, especially the children, how to read and write.

This is something that is difficult to carry out. After all, when people are hungry and cold, they will never think about anything other than making a living.

But Bo Shangmiao insisted on persisting. He had wandered aimlessly in the mortal world for too long, and finally found his next goal - to teach people to read and write, and to become a qualified teacher himself.

Now that you have made the decision, how can you give up easily?

Perhaps it was because all the people of the Bo Shang family were stubborn, and he used his divine power to change the fate of the entire village, and the village did not suffer any natural disasters for the next hundred years.

He can only change it for a hundred years. If he uses more power, he is afraid that his location will be exposed to the search of the Heavenly Palace.

Bo Shangmiao got his wish and became a teacher for all the villagers. Since his arrival, the fate of the villagers has been quietly changed, and it has become the legendary longevity village. The young people in the village have also made the village develop better and better, and he has gradually found his foothold in the mortal world.

This was not his first time as a teacher, nor was it his first time as a carpenter.

Looking at Wang Wei fiddling with the heavy piece of golden nanmu, I suddenly recalled the days when I was teaching.

He had given his love to many people, but he had not cared enough for his little daughter. Although the time was short, it was a perfect opportunity to make up for it.

Bo Shangmiao took out the tools he had bought for carpentry work, as well as the shrine blueprints he had prepared in advance. Using ordinary wood from outside as a demonstration, the two of them first carved some simple things, and then moved on to more difficult ones.

Wang Wei was a quick learner, but he made many mistakes when he tried carving with golden nan wood. He was not satisfied with the statue of Huo Feng he carved.

She picked up the blueprint of the shrine and looked at the shrine gradually taking shape in Bo Shangmiao's hands. She felt a little discouraged for a moment. Then, she began to stare blankly in front of another piece of white paper.

Bo Shangmiao looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" She slowly turned her head to him and said hesitantly, "I can't draw."

Bo Shangmiao smiled slightly and stepped forward: "Silly boy, do you need a blueprint to carve Huo Feng's statue? You have been through so many things together, don't you know what he looks like? The most important thing about carving is to act from the heart. If you rely entirely on the blueprint, wouldn't that waste your spirituality?"

Wang Wei immediately refuted the stupid words and continued to saw wood.

The candlelight illuminated the entire room, lengthening the person's shadow. There was no wind tonight, and the person's shadow was reflected upright on the window paper.

Wang Wei picked up the knife, calmed down, picked up a piece of wood of similar size and started working.

"呲-"

Very good, there's blood right at the beginning.

The feel of the golden nanmu is not as good as the firewood sticks picked up from the backyard... I silently complained in my heart. Then I began to struggle. Is the blood-stained statue still effective?

She originally wanted to continue, but somehow, perhaps the piece of golden nanmu was stained with her blood, and young shoots of an unknown plant began to grow between the cracks in the wood.

Wang Wei sighed and changed a piece of wood to continue.

Seeing that she was still in a bad mood, Bo Shangmiao sat next to her with the prototype of the shrine and began to tell her about his experiences in the mortal world.

After distracting Wang Wei from her inner worries, her technique gradually became more skillful.

"The days in heaven were too depressing for me, but I had to endure it for the sake of my family's reputation." Bo Shangmiao recalled the past, "You also read the last letter. The true love between your mother and me was disrupted by the plans of the family and the heavens... It's messed up, everything is messed up."

As he spoke, he took out two jars of wine from his space storage bag, handed one to Wang Wei, and took a sip himself. He said, "All of us have been manipulated by Jun Xie's plan. Your mother and I met, got to know each other, and fell in love normally in the mortal world! It was not until we gave birth to you that Jun Xie told us about his plan - you should have known it by now."

Wang Wei nodded. She was an eyewitness to the plan, how could she not know?

Her body is the only container that carries the power of the demon god, and that is why she came into this world.

"Your Mother Goddess actually wants to care about you. But due to various complicated relationships, she has never been kind to anyone since she knew the truth..."

Wang Wei used her mind to control the wine jar and clinked it with Bo Shangmiao's symbolically, then she also raised her head and took a sip. The atmosphere was right, and she had to do something. She had even forgotten that she couldn't drink at all.

From Bo Shangmiao's memories, she knew that Mother Goddess Mo Wuyin was a very interesting person. Moreover, Bo Shangmiao commented that Wang Wei had inherited this aspect very comprehensively.

Me? Wang Wei pointed at himself and shook his tipsy head.

"Really! You also liked playing pranks on people when you were a kid, right? Your mother goddess liked it when she was young, too. I was teased many times when I first met her, and I foolishly took it seriously!" Bo Shangmiao couldn't help but curl his lips as he recalled, "There's one more thing! You and your daughter have never suffered any loss. If someone goes too far, she will definitely not show mercy. In this respect, you two are exactly the same!"

Hearing this, Wang Wei also laughed.

I once doubted the authenticity of my identity, but now I am definitely clear about it.

"But who in the world can accept such a deception? Jun Xie said that my sneaking down to the mortal world was the first step in his chess game. And getting to know her was the second step." He sighed, and the surroundings suddenly fell into silence.

"So...how did you two become connected?"

Oh, I didn’t want to say this. Her curiosity is really not that strong!

But when she saw Bo Shangmiao looking at her with an expression of "expecting questions", she finally relaxed.

For the sake of the beautiful shrine in his hands.
