My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 31. Soul from Another World
Lu Yiming said he was a soul from another world, which was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. He didn't feel anything in the first few years, but his body became weaker and weaker later.

Because of his poor health, he couldn't do other heavy work, so he opened a restaurant to support his family.

His business was originally very good because his food was delicious.

Running a restaurant, life has been pretty smooth sailing.

Ma was not satisfied with her current life.

Seeing that Lu Laosan had become lame, she always felt disgusted with him, and even resented that he had picked up a bastard and raised him.

Ever since Lu Laosan found the white fox Yaoyao, he has never touched her again.

This fueled Ma's growing hatred.

She especially hated Bai Hu Yaoyao for stealing all of Lu Laosan's affection from her.

Ma stole Lu Yiming's cooking recipe and gave it to her current husband. They then conspired to frame his restaurant, causing someone to die from food poisoning.

Lu Yiming was taken to the yamen (government office).

Ultimately, the authorities found no substantial evidence in their investigation and released Lu Yiming.

After leaving the government office and returning home, Lu Yiming was exhausted and unable to continue running the restaurant, so he closed it down.

Lu Yiming passed away when Lu Yaoyao was twelve years old.

After reading the notes, Bai Hu Yaoyao clutched her aching chest. This was probably the original owner's reluctance to part with her father.
There was also a letter tucked inside the notebook.

This letter was Lu Yaoyao's final message.

'Yaoyao, my good daughter.'

When you read this letter, your father is already dead. When he found you, you were no longer breathing. He was planning to give you a proper burial, but unexpectedly, you came back to life during the process!
Father thinks that your coming back to life must be a gift from heaven.

Your father brought you home, hoping to watch you grow up, get married, and have children, but alas, your father cannot live to see that time.

Your father doesn't have any great abilities; all he can leave you are that white jade box and that restaurant.

When I found you, you were wearing a white jade fox pendant around your neck. It looked very valuable. To prevent others from coveting your things, I hid it in a compartment of your wallet that only the two of us knew about.

If you can see this letter, you will also be able to see that jade pendant.

Dad's only wish is to go back to the world he used to live in!
Perhaps I can go back after my father dies.

The father is a little worried about leaving his daughter alone.

Sigh! Why is Dad saying all this? You wouldn't understand.

You must live on.

Finally, I wish my precious daughter a carefree and happy life.

After reading the letter, Baihu Yaoyao didn't know what to feel.

He was a good father, and everything he did was for the original owner of this body.

As a soul from another time and space, she felt even closer to this father.

Picking up the wallet, sure enough, there was a small white jade fox pendant in the inner pocket.

The jade pendant is carved with lifelike detail, depicting a white nine-tailed fox.

The fox has a golden lightning bolt decoration on its forehead, and its nine tails bloom like spider lilies behind it.

She put the pendant around her neck, as if the pendant had become somehow connected to her.

"Dad, you want to go back to your world, don't you? The Lu Yaoyao of the past might not have understood what you meant, but I do now!"

But it seems I can't fulfill your wish, and I don't know how to go back to my old world.

Bai Hu Yaoyao stroked the notebook. Lu Yiming's greatest wish was to see her get married and have children, and also to be able to return to that world.

Both of these things seem to be very difficult to handle.

She never seemed to have thought about marrying anyone or having children.

She only wants a relationship that's purely physical, not emotional. Even if she has a child, she'll raise it herself.

"Father, I may not be able to do the rest, but I will not let those who harmed you get away with it."

The restaurant went bankrupt because the Ma family colluded with outsiders.

Now that she knows Ma is not the original owner's mother, she has no psychological burden when it comes to taking revenge.

Suddenly, Bai Hu Yaoyao's gaze fell on a few words in the notebook: "Souls from another world will be rejected? I am also a soul from another world, will I also be rejected?"

If that's the case, she will end up like Lu Yiming, suffering a backlash and dying from weakness.

In other words, she doesn't have many years left to live.

The white fox Yaoyao was agitated. Having finally lived once, she was unwilling to die like this.

The fox pendant hanging around her neck flashed with light, and the phantom of a beautiful woman stood before her.

White Fox Yaoyao blinked, touched her face, and made sure she wasn't looking in a mirror. "Why do you look just like me?"

The only difference was that this woman had a lightning bolt-shaped floral decoration on her forehead.

The woman was dressed in fiery red, standing high above, looking noble and unapproachable. She exuded an undeniable aura of power, and her presence was overwhelming.

[You and I are essentially the same person; it's not strange that we look alike.]

The woman's voice was like ancient chanting, seemingly capable of cleansing one's soul.

The white fox Yaoyao stared blankly at her, as if looking at another version of herself.

"You and I are the same person? What does that mean?"

My brain is bound with bound feet!

This is a lot of information.

Bai Hu Yaoyao felt like she had entered a strange circle.

Everything seems to be developing in an out-of-control direction.

The woman smiled slightly and reached out to stroke her face. That smile made the world lose its color.

Bai Hu Yaoyao was taken aback. Could this woman be a lesbian?
Why are you touching her face?

Let me tell you, my sexual orientation is male, not female!

puff!

The woman seemed to know what she was thinking and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The woman became even more beautiful with that smile.

Bai Hu Yaoyao was somewhat stunned. This woman was naturally alluring, and every smile and frown was captivating. Not to mention that men would lose their souls when they saw her, she couldn't help but feel jealous.

The woman stopped teasing her and floated around the room. [What Zimian meant was that you and I were originally the same person, or rather, the you of the past, and Lu Yaoyao who died on this continent, were all fragments of our souls.]

[Didn't that notebook say that the original child had already died? The reason he was able to come back to life was because of this nine-tailed fox pendant, which carried fragments of our souls and took over that body.]

[And the you from the previous world, the original owner who was an orphan, died long ago. Later, fragments of our souls took over that body, which is why you lived in that world for twenty-eight years.]

The woman made a startling statement.

Bai Hu Yaoyao's eyes widened. Were they all there?

How can this be?

Are there really such bizarre things in the world?

"Since we are the same person, will I still be rejected by the Heavenly Dao?" This is the question she is concerned about now.

The woman looked up at the window, as if looking at another world through the sky.

[Of course we'll be rejected! The laws of Heaven forbid anyone from challenging its authority, unless you and I merge into one and become a true demon god.]

"What? Become a true demon god? No! You are the demon god?" White Fox Yaoyao asked incredulously.

Feng Jin and Hei Long had said that they were both engaged to the Demon God.

Could it be that the woman they are betrothed to is this illusory woman?
No! It should be said that he's engaged to her!

They're the same person, after all!
The woman seemed to know what she was thinking and smiled gently.

[No! We should say we are the progenitors of demon gods, which means you are also a demon god, and those little ones we are betrothed to are all our husbands.]

Forehead?
Bai Hu Yaoyao was dumbfounded. "I just want to have a relationship that's purely physical, not emotional. What do I need so many husbands for?"

The woman seemed to have heard some incredible joke; her clear, melodious laughter was captivating.

[Are you stupid? The demon race already has a pitifully small number of females. As the progenitor of the demon race, you naturally have to contribute to the propagation of the demon race. Moreover, to cultivate the Five Elements Technique, you must mate with a talented man and bear offspring to level up step by step; otherwise, you'll only die.]

This Five Elements Manual was a cultivation technique she created herself to survive.

The Five Elements Technique can be cultivated without innate talent, spiritual roots, or the absorption of spiritual energy, but it has a major drawback.

That is, every twenty levels, one must have intercourse with a man of good talent and give birth to a child in order to stabilize one's cultivation level.

These talented male candidates should ideally be men of the demon race or beast race.

Only in that way can one avoid dying from ruptured meridians throughout the body.

Seemingly recalling unpleasant events from the past, the woman's aura suddenly intensified.

Then she realized what was happening and glanced at the dazed white fox Yaoyao, who looked quite surprised.

The woman smiled faintly. "Little girl, when you were practicing the Five Elements Technique, you didn't seem to be paying attention to the contents of that book, did you?"

[If you had read this carefully, based on your human thinking, you probably wouldn't want to cultivate such a technique, since such a technique is considered unacceptable by heaven and earth in the eyes of others.]

[Back then, many people said I was shameless! They said the demon race was a bunch of shameless creatures. But alas, those people couldn't defeat me; they could only watch helplessly!]

boom!
It felt like a bomb had been planted in Bai Hu Yaoyao's head, leaving her completely disoriented.

Quickly take out the Five Elements Manual and look it over.

"Emma! It's real?!"

When the white fox Yaoyao saw the inconspicuous line of small print on the last page of the Five Elements Manual, a hint of excitement appeared in her eyes.

No wonder she always felt something was off when she was cultivating.

'Every twenty levels of the Five Elements Technique require the practitioner to mate with a male demon or beastman as soon as possible, conceive, and give birth to consolidate their cultivation; otherwise, their meridians will be severed, leading to death.'

Her Five Elements Technique has now reached level seventeen!

Level 17!
The woman rolled her eyes rather inelegantly. [You really didn't read carefully. Back then, I deliberately added that useless line on the last page. If you hadn't summoned me, you might have reached level 20 without having a child and died again. By the time I found your reincarnation, it would have been too late.]

"No! What's going on? I just wanted to live, make some money, and live a carefree life! Why do I have to die again?" White Fox Yaoyao couldn't accept dying again.

She didn't have any lofty ideals; she just wanted to live life to the fullest.

Is this request difficult?
If you don't cultivate, you will be rejected by the rules of Heaven and die.

Even if you cultivate the Five Elements Technique, will you still die if you don't have children?

Isn't this setting her up for trouble?

The woman gave a sarcastic smile. "You still want to live? Do you think you can? Your fate in every life is tragically short; you won't live past thirty. What's the use of making so much money? You need to be alive to enjoy it, don't you?"

[When survival is at stake, morality, etiquette, and a sense of shame are all meaningless.]

The white fox Yaoyao asked coldly, "Why do I never live past thirty in any of my lives? Is there some hidden reason behind this?"

In her previous life, she died shortly after her 28th birthday.

Their fate was indeed extremely tragic.

Lu Yaoyao from this continent died at the age of fifteen.

Their fate was also incredibly tragic!

Since she has taken over this body, she has changed Lu Yaoyao's tragic fate. Can't she live a good life?
