"Are you afraid this woman will cause trouble and ruin your plans?"
"Since you already know, why waste so much breath?"
"Okay, I understand."
Ding Bu'er laughed.
"It's good to let this woman suffer a bit, to show her that the world isn't as peaceful as she thinks, and that not everyone revolves around her."
"You leaked my information to Song Yanran?"
"Oh my, you're really something, managing to get close to a powerful figure like Empress Song. Don't worry, I received your message from the spirit pigeon, and I've already informed her of your existence through song."
“That’s good. I don’t want to involve other people.”
"But you have to promise me that after it's done, I'll get an extra 20%, and you'll have to let me manage the tobacco and alcohol business in the Demon Realm."
Thanks to your antics over the past six months, the price of tobacco, which used to cost thirty spirit stones per pound, has skyrocketed to three thousand spirit stones.
The Liuliangye liquor was even more outrageous, costing 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones a bottle, and people were still scrambling to buy it. As for spirit herbs, let's not even talk about them; no matter how expensive they were, they were always out of stock.
The most outrageous thing is those magic cores, which start at 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. It's like making several small fortunes a day with your eyes closed.
I absolutely must get a piece of this pie, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night, and I absolutely can't leave any regrets.
"Hehe, otherwise where do you think I got the money to be so extravagant? If I didn't do this, would I have attracted the attention of the Demon Breath Palace so quickly?"
"I know that, but in the end, all that money spent will still come back to you with interest. I know you perfectly well; when will you ever do a losing business?"
No, I can't let myself suffer this time, no matter what. I have to add another 10%.
"We can certainly offer more money, but that depends on your performance going forward."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone outside shouted, "Father, a beggar outside has scratched your ghost carriage, and we can't get rid of him no matter what we do!"
"Useless trash, can't even handle this little thing? Give him a few spirit stones and get lost."
"But he said he wants to recognize you as his father, as long as you can help him."
"What a joke! Someone showing up at your door in the middle of the night to claim you as their father? Do you believe that? You good-for-nothing, can't you use your brain for once?"
"Then, shall I take care of him now?"
"Fine, let's bring him in. Since he's so filial, I can't be ungrateful."
"Yes, Dad~"
Jiang Haitian turned around and looked at Ding Bu'er, saying, "You should go back first."
Ding Bu'er: "No, you're just letting me go like this?"
"Then what else do you want to do?"
"It's a rare treat to see you, won't you let me have a meal before I leave? I heard you preparing a midnight snack."
"Get out of here."
"Okay, you'd better hurry up. I feel like every day in this hellish place, the Demon Realm, is an eternity."
After saying that, Ding Bu'er casually took the entire cigar box with him.
...
In the hall, a disheveled man was eating heartily around a round table, wolfing down his food without any regard for appearances; he looked like a reincarnated starving ghost.
Jiang Haitian held the magic bead in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and quietly watched him eat like a starving ghost.
The beggar stopped, burping contentedly, only after almost all the food on the table was gone.
"Are you full?"
"Mmm, I'm full, thank you."
The beggar thanked him repeatedly.
Jiang Haitian glanced at his wild son beside him and immediately shouted, "Useless thing, go fetch some water and let him wash his face."
"Yes, Father."
The wild son immediately went to fetch water.
The beggar stood up politely: "Thank you for your help, Master Jiang. I haven't eaten for half a month since I came to the Demon Realm. Today is the most I've eaten."
Jiang Haitian carefully examined the grime-covered face, feeling it looked somewhat familiar, and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
The beggar said, "My name is Ling Yuxuan, and I am from the Eastern Region. I entered the Demon Realm to find my fiancée, whom I have been separated from for half a year. However, I did not expect that the customs of the Demon Realm are so different from those of the Eastern Region."
He was robbed of all his money, severely beaten, and reduced to begging; it has been four or five months now.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Haitian suddenly realized what was going on.
No wonder, this guy has been silent ever since Yu Xiyan's accident, I didn't expect him to have already come to the Demon Realm.
"You came to find me because you want to go back to the Eastern Region? As long as you call me father, I can send you back to the Eastern Region tonight."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuxuan suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
"Father, I won't go back to the Eastern Region. I only beg you to help me rescue my fiancée! Please, Father, grant my request!"
"If you promise me that, I will change my surname to yours right now. From today onwards, I will be called Jiang Yuxuan! Godfather, please accept my bow!"
Ling Yu cried his heart out, pleading with Jiang Haitian with snot and tears streaming down his face, while kowtowing to him repeatedly.
