A modest lunch turned fragrant under the skillful cooking of Li Xiaoman.
Li Xiaoman was as tender and affectionate as a newlywed wife, gently clinging to Bai Yan, her eyes always beside him.
Bai Yan was well aware of Li Xiaoman’s deep love for him. After weighing his options, Bai Yan chose to accept this naive girl.
As for the An sisters... that’s a matter for another time. Bai Yan truly couldn’t bring himself to break Li Xiaoman’s heart, this naive woman.
All day long, Bai Yan stayed by Li Xiaoman’s side until dusk fell. With Li Xiaoman reluctantly watching, Bai Yan left the neighborhood and returned to the An Family Mansion.
An Yan hadn’t returned yet, only An Xiaowan and Chen Jing were at the mansion. Initially, Bai Yan worried about arriving home late, wondering if these two girls would interrogate him, but it turned out that he was overthinking.
Upon arriving home, Bai Yan saw An Xiaowan and Chen Jing huddled in a room, secretly discussing something mysterious and not letting Bai Yan join.
Bai Yan touched his nose but also sighed in relief, then turned to go downstairs to prepare dinner.
In the following days, Bai Yan returned to his normal life, driving An Yan to and from work, casually strolling with Chen Jing and An Xiaowan, and occasionally visiting Wanyan Company to collect animals to refine into Life Juice for the company.
Noteworthy, Li Xiaoman, under Bai Yan’s nurturance, became even more enchanting and famous than before.
The fame of Goddess Li of Wanyan Company grew in the business circles of HZ city, attracting countless suitors and even gradually surpassing An Yan.
But unknown to others, the seemingly proud and cold Goddess Li of Wanyan Company was extremely gentle towards Bai Yan, behaving like a clingy, lazy cat, ever so reluctant to leave her master.
However, due to the upcoming product launch at Wanyan Company, Li Xiaoman’s work became increasingly busy.
Perhaps because she had recently grown close to Bai Yan, Li Xiaoman found it harder and harder to be apart from him.
Heaven and earth can witness that Li Xiaoman is even more reluctant to part with Bai Yan than the An sisters; she was utterly devoted to Bai Yan. If not for being too busy, Li Xiaoman would undoubtedly cling to Bai Yan continuously.
She was certain that if she couldn’t see Bai Yan for an extended period, she would go crazy!
But since her master still needed Wanyan Company, Goddess Li had to endure her yearning and passion, running Wanyan Company with all her might every day!
Not only Li Xiaoman, but the entire staff of Wanyan Company was also extremely busy.
Sometimes when Li Xiaoman was too busy to accompany Bai Yan, Bai Yan was actually quite content, spending his time leisurely drinking tea with Boss Wang and Elder An, fishing, or occasionally playing chess at Mayor Chen’s house.
He also occasionally accompanied An Xiaowan and Chen Jing, two beautiful women shopping, and chauffeuring President An to and from work.
Bai Yan’s main task was commuting between the warehouse and the mansion, constantly sacrificing batches of live poultry.
Despite being busy, Li Xiaoman didn’t neglect the critical task of purchasing poultry. However, due to the arrival of the high summer season, the demand for various live animals in different industries increased, making procurement more difficult.
Time flew by, and during these days, Bai Yan did not idle, diligently cultivating Gang Qi to strengthen his human identity, preparing for the next breakthrough.
Meanwhile, apart from the necessary live poultry needed by Wanyan Company for producing medicines, all the live animals provided by Wanyan Company were sacrificed by Bai Yan into demon energy and preserved.
It’s worth mentioning that Jinx and Domit, these two fellows, actually traveled thousands of miles using special channels and relationships to deliver a batch of high-quality poultry goods to Wanyan Company.
According to reports, these were poultry specifically collected and selected for purchase by Jinx abroad. Each one was of high quality, mainly consisting of cattle and sheep, emanating an extremely vibrant Life Aura, which greatly delighted Bai Yan.
It turns out that this blond bombshell still remembers her master and knows exactly what her master needs.
Over a continuous period, Bai Yan’s accumulated demonic energy successfully broke through the 100,000 mark, reaching a high of 230,000 points now!
This made Bai Yan sigh with relief, affirming that his initial decision was indeed the right one!
With Wanyan Company as a backing, the supply of live poultry will continue unabated, completely relieving Bai Yan of any worries. This is indeed a major advantage of having one’s own influence!
In recent days, Bai Yan spent 130,000 demonic energy to cultivate 121 second-level Demon Trees, a few of which failed, but that was inevitable.
The reason for cultivating so many Demon Trees was firstly to supply sufficient Life Juice for Wanyan Company, and secondly, Bai Yan planned to cultivate third-level Demon Warriors.
Inside the spacious and cozy bedroom.
Bai Yan furrowed his brows. With the previous 19 Demon Trees, he now had a total of 140 Demon Trees. Theoretically, he could cultivate 14 third-level Demons, but considering that Wanyan Company would need more Demon Trees to produce life-sustaining drugs, Bai Yan decided to initially cultivate only one third-level Demon.
Currently, Bai Yan’s rank as a Demon Lord is level 0, and he can only cultivate three types of third-level demons: Demon Wings, Abyss Demon Dog, and Demon Giant Tree.
Among these, the Demon Giant Tree is an upgraded version of the Demon Tree, and the Abyss Demon Dog is an upgraded version of the Demon Dog, both of which have attributes significantly enhanced from their first and second levels.
Only the Demon Wings, aside from the low-altitude flight advantage, with its appearance merely a meatball and a pair of huge wings, has physical qualities much lower than the other two types.
However, at the moment, Bai Yan could only cultivate these three different types of third-level demons, randomly, and Bai Yan had to leave it to fate.
Regardless of which kind of third-level demon emerged, it would be much stronger than the current second-level demons he possessed.
Bai Yan opened the Demon Breeding Farm, choosing ten second-level Demon Trees to devour each other for evolution. He awaited the end of the slaughter, which transformed into a red giant egg. Incubation time: 24 hours. To prevent this cultivation from failing, Bai Yan selected another ten Demon Trees for simultaneous evolution.
Two blood-red giant eggs lay quietly in the red Abyss Land, slowly incubating with each inhale and exhale.
Having done all this, Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, leaning back on the bed.
Last time he didn’t understand demon cultivation, and he didn’t quite grasp the twists and turns inside the Demon Breeding Farm. Thus, Bai Yan miscalculated last time, wasting many Demon Eggs and only cultivating second-level Demon Trees and second-level Evil Eyes.
But this time was different, Bai Yan was fully confident that he could cultivate at least one third-level demon.
As long as he had a third-level demon, Bai Yan would also have a helper, ensuring his and his close ones’ safety within HZ City. However, Bai Yan would not become complacent.
The saying that there are always others stronger, and higher skies beyond the sky is something he never forgot.
Cultivating demons is of utmost importance, but developing one’s own strength is also extremely crucial—only by having great personal strength can all other matters be securely guaranteed.
