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

Chapter 35. Elemental Netherstone
After the two mated, her Five Elements Technique jumped directly from level seventeen to level twenty.

The woman told her that her level would not be upgraded until she gave birth, and that she should take good care of herself during her pregnancy.

Then she should eat more.

"It's good that you're alright. I thought women didn't eat much." Mingyuan quickly took out a bunch of food from his storage bag.

Since she likes to eat, we should let her eat her fill.

The white fox Yaoyao drooled as she looked at the few black fruits with a hint of purple. "What kind of fruits are these?"

"This is the Dark Night Fruit, unique to our Dark Qilin Clan. It's specially for females. You can have it."

"These are pastries made from Dark Night Fruit, and this is juice made from Dark Night Fruit."

Mingyuan fed her all the food he could, like feeding a pig.

White Fox Yaoyao's lips twitched. "I'm full! Let me have a fruit first! I'm going to Liulichang to take a look, do you want to come?"

Click!

The fruit was crisp, sweet, and slightly sour, which was her favorite flavor.

“Go, I’ll go with you.” Mingyuan picked up her cloak and draped it over her shoulders.

Put a large hat on her and wrap her up completely.

Then, fearing she might get lost, he took her hand.

His warm, rough hands held her soft, boneless little hands.

The two walked hand in hand down the street.

Mingyuan's figure was simply too tall, making Baihu Yaoyao appear exceptionally petite and delicate standing next to him.

And his devilishly handsome face was so striking that even passersby couldn't help but take a second look.

The white fox Yaoyao glared at him, "Being so handsome, you really attract all sorts of attention."

Mingyuan smiled and said, "You're the only one in my heart. I can't tell anyone else apart."

He does indeed have face blindness.

He didn't recognize any of the female demons, but he remembered Yao Yao's face.

Phew!

The white fox was amused by him and took him to Liulichang.

Uncle Zhou's workshop has now been converted into Liulichang. Today is the day Liulichang starts manufacturing glass. Baihu Yaoyao is worried and wants to come and keep an eye on things.

"Oh my! Yaoyao, you're here? And who is this?" Uncle Zhou asked curiously.

Judging from their intimate manner, could he be Yaoyao's husband? Or perhaps her fiancé?
He hadn't heard that Yaoyao had a fiancé either.

It's only been a short time since we last met, and you already have a fiancé?

Isn't this a bit too fast?
The man was tall and handsome, dressed in a magnificent black cloak; his identity must be extraordinary.

Uncle Zhou observed Mingyuan without making a sound.

“Uncle Zhou, this is my husband, his name is Mingyuan.”

They both have children and a partnership agreement, so he's officially her husband.

He is indeed her husband, but he is just one of many; there will be many more in the future.

If the people of the human world knew that she had countless men in the future, wouldn't she be drowned in spit?

Who cares? Being talked about is better than dying.

"Oh my! Yaoyao has a husband now? I've never heard you mention it." Uncle Zhou was still half-believing.

Bai Hu Yaoyao laughed it off, "I met him a couple of years ago. He was doing business outside before, so you didn't know him."

Uncle Zhou suddenly realized, "No wonder I've never seen you before! Alright! As long as you two are alright, that's all that matters."

As long as Yaoyao is alright, he, as an outsider, shouldn't say too much.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhou, I will definitely take good care of her," Mingyuan quickly assured him.

Uncle Zhou actually thought quite highly of Ming Yuan. This man was good-looking, and when he looked at Yao Yao, his eyes were only for her.

This is how a man shows his love for a woman.

He's been through this, he understands! "Alright! You must take good care of Yaoyao! You all look around, I'll go keep an eye on things in the workshop."

Today is his first time making glass, and he's quite nervous.

"Okay, Uncle Zhou, go ahead and get busy! I'll just take a look around." Bai Hu Yaoyao led Mingyuan around the workshop.

Walking into a courtyard where materials were stored, Mingyuan's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened in shock as he looked at the mountain of black stones.

"This...this is an elemental Netherstone?" Mingyuan picked up a stone and felt its power.

He confirmed that it was indeed an elemental Netherstone.

There are so many here?

"Elemental Netherstone? What is that? It's a useless black stone."

These stones were dug out while mining quartz sand. Uncle Zhou said that the mountain was an abandoned mine.

She also went to see it herself. In fact, the mine was an extinct volcano, which is why quartz sand was formed in the volcanic rock.

There are many of these black stones in that extinct volcano.

Upon closer inspection, it resembles black crystal, but it's not as transparent as crystal; at first glance, it looks like chunks of black stone.

She thought they looked nice, so she asked Uncle Zhou to bring some back with her. She originally planned to use them to pave the gravel path in the backyard of the restaurant.

Judging from Mingyuan's reaction now, could this stone actually be a good thing?
If it's a good thing, wouldn't she be rich if she owned an entire mine?

In this continent, mines cannot be bought and sold, but abandoned mines can be traded. As long as they are abandoned, the emperors of various countries don't interfere.

She bought the abandoned mine for five thousand taels of silver. There was a lot of quartz sand and black stone in the mountain.

It can be said that the entire mine is mostly composed of this type of black stone.

Mingyuan was no longer calm. "These are not some useless black stones. These are elemental Netherstones, which are even more precious than spirit stones in the demon race. These elemental Netherstones contain incomparably pure elemental spiritual energy, which can be absorbed without refining."

Elemental Netherstones can be used as Black Crystal Coins, and also as materials for cultivation.

The elemental energy within the elemental spirit stone can be absorbed and can slowly repair the meridians damaged by bipolar disorder. This substance is extremely precious among the demon race.

Because the demon race rarely sees elemental spirit stones anymore, that's why he was so excited to see this thing.

"Huh? Then can I do business with your demon race on elemental spirit stones?"

Black stone is considered a useless black rock by humans, and is not as precious as iron stone.

This thing is priceless in the eyes of the demon race.

"Of course! I can take them to the demon realm and sell them for you. I'm sure I can help you earn a lot of treasures."

Mingyuan took her hand and placed it inside his sleeve to warm it.

The white fox Yaoyao looked at the black stones as if they were gold ingots. "Mingyuan, could you exchange these black stones for some grain for me? I heard that not many people in your demon race grow grain. Could you use the black stones as payment to have them grow grain for me?"

Many grain shops are now facing a food shortage, and the price of a peck of rice has risen to two taels of silver.

It's the dead of winter in the human world, so growing food is impractical.

According to Elder Shen, it is springtime in the demon realm, the perfect time to plant crops.

When they were in the space, Mingyuan told her that the demon race, regardless of gender, eats mostly meat and basically doesn't eat grains or vegetables.

A small number of people grow some spirit rice, but only to satisfy the picky eating habits of pregnant females.

Using elemental spirit stones as payment to hire people to grow food is definitely feasible.

No matter when or what era, food is the foundation of survival.

Several countries on this continent have been plagued by war for years, to the point that their people are living in misery.

Food is an absolute hot commodity on this continent.

"Yaoyao, isn't it a waste of talent to hire people to grow crops using elemental Netherstones as payment?" Mingyuan felt it was a terrible waste.

This is an elemental Netherstone!
The most precious stone of the demon race.

I wonder what the outcome of the competition will be? And whether I can get through this hurdle.
