Ten minutes earlier.
Demoness: "I didn't buy much of the imported premium candy, just five packs in total. Once eaten, they're gone. As I said, this is payment for you saving me last time."
Xu Mo reluctantly agreed: "Fine, I don't like people feeling indebted to me anyway."
[What? Are you kidding?]
[Just five packs?]
[Damn, if the foreigners next door see this, they'll think I can't afford more!]
[Who can survive on such a small amount?]
[Make it two more boxes, ten boxes per person!]
[Twenty boxes in total!]
The Ding Ding Strange System.
Showed Xu Mo a brand new path.
The plot could proceed.
But there was no need to worry about whether it would work out.
Even if it did work out, it wouldn't matter.
As long as he completed it.
He could go home.
The Demoness pressed forward step by step.
For the sake of survival, Xu Mo could endure.
After all, life is hard, you have to endure~
The Demoness smiled without speaking.
Making it seem like she was the one taking advantage.
As if Xu Mo was the victim.
Knowing Xu Mo's nature.
So the Demoness saw through it but didn't expose it.
These days combined.
His endurance had improved considerably.
But it was just ridiculous.
As soon as they engaged.
Xu Mo almost stumbled.
She was too damn good at it!
Was the Demoness someone who came back from a previous life specifically to deal with him?
Xu Mo secretly wondered.
The Bulgari Hotel, if nothing else.
Had quite sophisticated 'private rooms'.
At least the environment was clean and tidy.
Without any strange odors.
Almost every day at specific times, someone would clean and maintain them.
And the doors were those high-end fully enclosed types.
Ventilation holes were certainly present.
But there was no worry about suffocating inside.
People would occasionally enter the 'private room'.
Xu Mo and Zhou Qiaoqiao's hearts were in their throats.
Especially Xu Mo!
Because every time this happened.
The Demoness, whether intentionally or not.
Made quite a commotion.
Xu Mo's emotions were like riding a train.
In the banquet hall...
"Miss Lin An'an, would you like a drink?"
Li Jiaxin approached with two glasses of red wine.
Lin An'an raised her head.
Looking at this woman who was as impossibly beautiful as herself.
Her guard lowered considerably.
Her fair, slender jade hand reached out to accept the wine glass.
"Mm."
Lin An'an was extremely frustrated internally.
And embarrassed!
She had heard that Yang Jingying's side needed help promoting skincare products.
Since her upcoming work schedule was empty.
She had agreed to take it on.
But after arriving, she realized something was very wrong!
Their volcanic mud skincare products were incredibly powerful.
They didn't need her help promoting at all!
How depressing!!!!
Lin An'an took a sip of red wine to drown her sorrows.
The sorrows only deepened.
Li Jiaxin's beautiful eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
There was hope!!!!
She continued chatting with Lin An'an.
Lin An'an's beauty in all aspects matched Li Jiaxin's aesthetic preferences!
That table of goddesses seemed hopeless.
Each one seemed extremely concerned about Xu Mo.
Li Jiaxin knew she had no chance there.
So she locked onto Lin An'an as her target.
What challenge was there in pursuing a first-rate beauty?
Pursuing the female lead was truly challenging!
Then Li Jiaxin directly set her sights higher!
Which led to the earlier scene of providing solutions to the women.
But clearly.
Li Jiaxin had greatly overestimated her own abilities.
Premium goddesses weren't easy to pursue!!!!
Within a few exchanges.
The conversation nearly died.
Fortunately, Li Jiaxin was experienced.
She handled it gracefully.
Reviving the conversation time and again.
Lin An'an had no intention of letting the conversation die.
Li Jiaxin even less so.
It wasn't clear where the problem lay.
More Yang Family staff entered the hall
To maintain order.
Yang Jingying had finally managed to calm the excited crowd.
She was covered in sweat from the effort.
This indirectly proved.
That the volcanic mud skincare formula Xu Mo provided was an invaluable treasure!
Would she choose to conceal it?
Monopolize Xu Mo's achievement?
No!
Even if the Yang Family had immense capabilities without Xu Mo's formula.
Perfect equipment, industry, and product user base.
They couldn't achieve such results!
This clearly wasn't about money.
o( ̄ヘ ̄o#)
It was about Xu Mo's ownership rights!
"Please quiet down everyone, I know you're all very curious about how the Yang Family's newest volcanic mud skincare product came to be."
"I don't intend to hide anything from you."
Yang Jingying, holding the microphone, dropped a bombshell!
This time, the crowd's emotions were elevated to a whole new level.
Lin Fan's earlier competition seemed like a clown show.
In reality, no one cared about the skincare products' price!
They had plenty of money, if nothing else.
They cared about effectiveness!
Effectiveness!
Damn right, effectiveness!
Whoever had the most effective skincare products, they'd buy from them!
Gossip is human nature.
If they said they weren't curious.
About where the volcanic mud formula came from, they'd be lying to themselves!
Everyone in the banquet hall stared intently at Yang Jingying.
Their appetites had been whetted.

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night.

In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
