Once she was sure everyone had escaped the villa, Ma Linghua activated her domain. In the bright light of day, the villa was filled with malevolent energy.

A beautiful, bright red flower was blooming in the field. It swayed its leaves from time to time, and the surrounding Yin energy was absorbed into its body.

“Ginseng Creek, I need a ginseng root.” As soon as Ma Linghua finished speaking, the bright red flower twitched, and then a root emitting golden light appeared before her eyes.

"Lotus, quick, use..." Before she could finish speaking, Ma Lihua suddenly sat up. A rare and precious treasure? She needed it, she desperately needed it.

Before the two could react, she swiftly swallowed the tendril, which reeked of decay.

"Mother, this thing won't grow in your territory, will it?" she asked with difficulty.

Ma Hehua was taken aback. What did this have to do with her domain? Besides, her domain didn't have such a strong stench of corpses. She raised her head and silently glanced at her mother.

Ma Linghua rolled her eyes at her. "What are you looking at? Someone who's only a dabbler in their field has no right to look at her. Humph!"

"Pear Blossom, are you feeling better?" Ma Linghua asked, her concern evident.

"Grandma, I'm much better, but I feel like my health is getting worse and worse in the city," Ma Lihua explained her situation.

When Ma Hehua gave birth to Pear Blossom, she almost lost half her life. If it weren't for her ancestors' insatiable appetite for rare and precious treasures, she might have died along with her unborn child.

Thinking back to when she was pregnant with Pear Blossom, it was incredibly expensive. If it weren't for the fact that her mother had planted a ten-thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng in her domain, things could have really gone wrong.

The Ma family needs yin energy to cultivate, but pear blossoms need spiritual energy, which is extremely precious and priceless. It's not just that it's available in the deep mountains and forests, where there's some, but it's completely unavailable in the city!

Besides the foul and filthy air, it's not good at all.

The three pondered for a long time and felt that this would not work. They still needed to read, but they could try a different approach.

An hour later, the family sat on the sofa and discussed the matter. Li Fagui finally decided that his mother-in-law and wife should return to Heifeng Village and wait until Lihua turned 18 before coming out again.

So it was decided that they would return to Black Wind Village on November 25th. Pear Blossom's condition was still unstable, and after this incident, Ma Pear Blossom's body would become even weaker.

However, she seems to have become even stronger.

"Fa Gui, didn't I tell you not to go out? Why didn't you listen?" Ma Linghua then noticed that Li Fa Gui was surrounded by a thick layer of dark energy.

Although he carried countless magical treasures from the Ma family, his luck was inevitably hindered.

"Fa Gui, why don't you listen to your mother? I'll teach you a lesson tonight." As soon as Ma Hehua said this, she realized something was wrong; her mother was looking at her with a sinister gaze.

"W-what's wrong? Is...is something wrong?" Ma Hehua asked hesitantly.

"No, you're right. You'll have to give me a good beating tonight." Li Fagui's lips curled slightly, his eyes full of doting affection.

Ma Lihua; "……………………"

Is this really okay? Although she wasn't entirely sure, it sounded strange! Her mother was disciplining her father? She didn't believe it. Did she mean her father would be slapped across the face? She couldn't bear to think about it. She shook her head, unable to understand.

Li Zhongguo gritted his teeth. That bastard, always using such seductive tricks, and his daughter falls for it. It infuriates him.

"Alright, Pear Blossom doesn't need to go to school tomorrow. Let's go find that show-off tonight." Ma Linghua immediately made arrangements.

In the afternoon, Wu Mao made a rare phone call to Li Fagui.

"Dad, I'm going to Montenegro with another film crew to shoot on location. Could you talk to Grandma and the others about it?" Wu Mao asked cautiously.

Li Fagu frowned. "Fifth brother! Your grandmother and the others aren't the administrators of Montenegro. This is a national project. What good are they? Besides, Montenegro is open to the outside world all the time! They can go whenever they want!"

Wu Mao felt a little uneasy. He could just go like that? Who lives the longest? Would he even come back?

(This time I have to mention that this group of people went to Black Mountain, and specifically visited Tanshui Cave.)

"But...Dad..."

"Alright, don't bother me unless it's important. It wasn't easy raising you all. You're a 30-year-old adult now. You know what you should and shouldn't do. Oh, and by the way, don't break the law."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Honestly, didn't he see how busy he was? Massaging Hehua's feet required speed and precision, and he couldn't stop halfway through, otherwise it would take several minutes. Hehua had almost pinched his nose until it bled. This son of his was a real troublemaker.

"Hmm...not bad, Fa Gui, your cooking skills are getting better and better, I love you so much." Ma Hehua said shyly, her dark skin finally turning a little fairer.

However, his face still looks a bit old, honestly.

After washing her feet, Ma Linghua put on her shoes and prepared to go down the mountain to the barbecue restaurant. She was wearing brand-new Liberation shoes. When she saw Hehua wearing leather shoes, she fell silent.

"Mother, are you sure you can wear leather shoes?" Ma Lihua asked.

"Hey! Fa Gui bought these for me. They're a little tight, but they don't hurt my feet." At 168cm tall, wouldn't she look 170cm in these shoes?

Looking at those large leather shoes, Ma Lihua turned her head away, waiting, thinking, "Who knows, I might have to come back wearing stockings again this time..."

Li Fagui led the way again this time. Relying on Li Xin is not as good as relying on himself. See, he took action himself and was quick, ruthless and accurate.

There were quite a lot of people in the university town, and that barbecue restaurant was especially popular. The four members of the Ma family booked a table. Today is Monday, and most of the people who came were entertaining clients.

I glanced at the time; it was 7:30.

"Since this barbecue buffet is so good, you can take as much as you want, and it's all charged per person."

"Absolutely! Their signature dishes are really delicious, and that special meat is so tasty."

"I ate it! It's incredibly delicious, but when I asked the owner, he wouldn't tell me the recipe!"

"You're kidding me! Do you think I'd tell you how other people make money?"

Behind Ma Linghua and the others, four people—three men and one woman—were talking amongst themselves.

Ma Hehua glanced at it briefly. The yin energy emanating from the flesh was very strong, along with a faint resentment. She wondered how much suffering this human flesh had endured before it died.

"Wow! You've brought so much meat, are you sure you can finish it all?" Ma Hehua asked, turning her head as she sat down.

"Hey! This amount of meat is limited for just a few of us. Two portions per person is the maximum. When it first opened, there was no limit," a woman said with some regret.

"By the way, were you also introduced by someone?" the woman asked curiously.

"No, we're here to see the boss. I'm his cousin." Ma Hehua could spout lies without batting an eye.

"Oh! What a coincidence, our boss just happened to be getting some new stock today," a waiter chimed in as he passed by.

"How about I take you to see my boss?" The waiter thought that since she was related to the boss, she would take them to meet him.

Show-off; "…………………………"

I'm so damn grateful to you! You're definitely the best employee of the year.
