In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 486 The Nemesis of the Demon Race! (3.2K views, please subscribe!)

In the end, Su Yuan still bought Hu Hai's manor.

Although the manor's style was indeed rustic and exuded a nouveau riche vibe, Su Yuan had to shamefully admit that he, a newly rich commoner, was quite susceptible to this kind of thing.

How can a greedy person resist the temptation of splendor and wealth?
He wasn't some rich kid, and he hadn't developed any so-called aristocratic aesthetics.

Of course, more importantly, after buying Hu Hai Manor, seeing Qi Hanyue running around happily like a silly roe deer in the manor made him very happy.

"Such a big estate, it's such a waste for you to live here all by yourself, Su Yuan. Can I move in too?"

Qi Hanyue leaned closer to Su Yuan and asked expectantly.

"can."

Su Yuan nodded without hesitation.

"That's great! I knew Su Yuan would spoil me the most!"

But before the pink-haired girl could cheer with joy, Su Yuan said quietly:

"If you stay at my manor, you won't have to pay rent. However, such a large mansion will require a lot of servants to manage."

Upon hearing this, the pink-haired girl shrank back, as if she had guessed something, and said in disbelief:
"Su Yuan...you, you don't mean to make me your maid, do you?! No! I don't want to work!"

Su Yuan smiled gently:
"You've misunderstood. Why would I make you a maid?"

The pink-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yuan: "At the very least, she should be the head maid."

Qi Hanyue: "...Su Yuan, you're joking, right? This must be a joke!"

Su Yuan didn't speak, but just stared straight at her.

The forced smile on Qi Hanyue's face gradually froze.

One day later.

At the entrance of the main building of Hu Hai Manor, Qi Hanyue, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, was sweeping the steps with a broom with a numb expression. She looked like a noble lady who had fallen on hard times and was bought by bad people, forced to become a maid in humiliation.

“Su Yuan, the style of this manor, how should I put it… well, it’s a bit subtle.”

Under Su Yuan's guidance, Chen Nuoyi toured Hu Hai's manor, a strange look on her pretty face.

Su Yuan: "What the manor looks like from the outside is mainly about how comfortable it is to stay there. The style of your room and the interior of the main building can be modified according to your wishes."

"Has it been assumed that a room has been reserved for me?"

Chen Nuoyi muttered to herself, but did not refuse outright, and nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Qi Hanyue, who was sweeping the steps, immediately became furious. She threw the broom hard on the ground and angrily said:
"Su Yuan, you're so biased! Why can't Nuoyi also work as a maid for you?"

Should we make Noy our maid?
Su Yuan subconsciously glanced at the blue-haired girl with a cool expression and an air of nobility in her every move.

He really wanted to see what Chen Nuoyi would look like in a maid outfit.

Sensing Su Yuan's gaze, the girl's pretty face flushed slightly, and she coughed lightly, saying:

"Su Yuan, stop bullying Han Ya. If she wants to stay here, just let her. Why force her to be a maid?"

Upon hearing Nuoyi speak up for her, Qi Hanyue was moved and suddenly became much more assertive, putting her hands on her hips and saying:

"Exactly! A cute girl like me should stay in a mansion and enjoy a life of luxury!"

Su Yuan chuckled: "Of course you don't have to be a maid."

Qi Hanyue's eyes lit up; Su Yuan had agreed.

But before she could speak, he heard Su Yuan say slowly and deliberately:

"However, I plan to recruit more people to the manor recently, especially those with extensive experience in the Yuan Sect who are trustworthy."

"If Han Ya is willing to be the head maid, all these people will be under her management, but since she is not willing, I will not force her."

The pink-haired girl's ears twitched.

Chen Nuoyi asked curiously:
"Senior members of the Yuan Cult? Who exactly are they?"

Su Yuan: "Among the maids, there are Mortis, Yin Qiyue, Wu Xingqi, Wu Ziying, Xiyu, Xiao Meng, and Yun Ling. Let's recruit ten people first, and then we'll increase the number of people depending on the situation."

"For guards, we will recruit ten people first, including Li Zhengxing, Xiao Kong, Zhang Baiyi and others."

Wu Ziying and the others are all veterans of the Yuan Cult, and are Su Yuan's classmates or friends.

While they were ostensibly recruited as maids and guards for Hu Hai Manor, they were actually treated as his true confidants.

It's no exaggeration to say that the maids and guards of Hu Hai Manor will all be on the fast track to becoming stronger.

Su Yuan will focus on upgrading these people's talents and, at the appropriate time, use corrupted golden pills to infuse them with cultivation.

Such treatment is not something that ordinary cadres of the Yuan Sect can enjoy.

Jane was in the Emperor's heart.

Chen Nuoyi understood Su Yuan's idea, smiled and nodded, and had no objection to it.

"Twenty subordinates...and the worst of them are all top students from the ten major immortal sects. This is much more than the number of people I managed when I was a constable in Longcheng County."

Qi Hanyue swallowed hard and quietly picked up the broom that had been thrown on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a fawning smile appeared on the girl's pretty face:
"Su Yuan, Su Yuan, I was just joking. How can such an important job as head maid be entrusted to someone else? Please be sure to give this position to me!"

Su Yuan: "Oh? You really want to be the head maid? Don't force yourself if you encounter difficulties."

Qi Hanyue: "No, no, I won't force you! Just don't tell my mom, Su Yuan. They don't know what I do."

As she spoke, the pink-haired girl quickly opened the door and politely invited Mr. Su inside. Chen Nuoyi, seeing this, shook her head with amusement.

Su Yuan really knows how to play Qi Hanyue like a fool.

If I get sold one day, I might even have to help Su Yuan count the money.

In less than three days, Su Yuan arranged for twenty trusted men from the Yuan Sect to stay at the manor, and also hired experienced chefs, gardeners and other workers.

The once quiet and deserted Hu Hai Manor quickly became lively.

On a sunny weekend morning, Mr. Su, dressed in a golden bathrobe, strolled leisurely through the gardens of the manor, exuding the air of a wealthy landowner.

Not long after he started walking around, he spotted a familiar figure in a corner of the garden.

She was a girl with long pink hair, wearing a black lace headband and a black and white maid outfit that was easy to maintain yet didn't look cheap.

On her long, straight, fair legs, she wore spotless, semi-transparent white stockings, and on her feet were a pair of shiny black leather boots.

Who else could it be but Qi Hanyue?
At this moment, the pink-haired girl was squatting by the roadside, with her back to Su Yuan, muttering something to something in front of her.

Hmm, is this girl slacking off first thing in the morning?
Su Yuan concealed his aura, quietly approached, and clearly heard what the other person was saying.

"You only ate a tiny bit and you're already rolling your eyes in pleasure? Is the stuff I gave you really that pure?"

"Want more? No, I'm not giving it to you anymore, unless you let me...hehehe!"

Su Yuan: "???"

What kind of indecent language is this?
Su Yuan could hardly believe his ears.

Listen to this! Does this sound like something a maid should say? It's like something out of Breaking Bad!

With a dark expression, Su Yuan launched a surprise attack, arriving behind the pink-haired girl and grabbing her by the back of the neck.

"Qi Hanyue, I need a solution... um?"

Just as Su Yuan was preparing to arrest the misguided pink-haired girl and teach her a lesson, he encountered the 'buyer' of the dangerous items.

It was a cow cat lying on the grass, constantly wriggling its body, rubbing against the ground and tree trunks, looking blissful as if it were ascending to heaven.

The black and white cat had some kind of plant debris scattered on its belly, which Su Yuan judged to be something like catnip.

It's not a banned substance, so it's fine.

"Su... Su Yuan, I didn't slack off."

Qi Hanyue, like a kitten being held by the neck by a big cat, raised her wet eyes and spoke cautiously.

Su Yuan released his grip, his face full of black lines, and said:
"Just enjoy petting cats, but don't say anything dangerous, or Uncle Hat will come knocking on your door one day."

Qi Hanyue looked bewildered, clearly because she was so engrossed in petting the cat that she hadn't realized how ambiguous her words to Hakimi were.

At this moment, Su Yuan noticed the herb being held in the pink-haired girl's hand and asked curiously:
"Is this catnip? It looks different from the catnip I know."

"You said this."

Qi Hanyue shook the herbs in her hand and explained:
"This is a local specialty from my hometown called 'Yaomengcao'. Its effects are similar to catnip, but stronger. It also works on animals other than felines and is not addictive."

"Of course, this is just an ordinary herb, and it has no effect on us humans or those demons who have cultivation."

Su Yuan nodded slightly.

Is it just an ordinary herb that can be used as an animal toy? It doesn't seem to have anything special about it...

Wait, that’s not right!
Thinking of the demon army that might descend upon the Yu Xuan World at any moment, Su Yuan's eyes suddenly sharpened!

He took the Dream Grass from Qi Hanyue's hand and said carefully:

"Han Ya, do you think this thing can be cultivated into a spiritual medicine? If it becomes a high-grade spiritual medicine, could it also be effective against those demon cultivators?"

Qi Hanyue blinked, then honestly shook her head and said:
"I don't know either, but there are many growers of Dreamweed in my hometown, but none of them have been able to cultivate Dreamweed of Spiritual Grade, so it probably won't work."

Su Yuan: "Whether it will work or not, we'll only know after we try."

He stared intently at the herbs in his hand, harboring great expectations for them.

During this time, although he was idle, he was still troubled by the matter of blocking the Yu Xuan demon clan.

The concern wasn't about winning or losing the war, but about how to minimize the losses for both sides.

The Demon Dream Grass seems to be a good starting point.

Speed ​​up the demonic cultivation! Activate!

Q: How do I upgrade the level of the Youmu Grass?

With the activation of the 'speedrun' effect, detailed answers appeared in Su Yuan's mind.

When it comes to such demonic and mysterious matters, Speed-Up Demon Cultivation has always been reliable.

"I see, so that's how it was solved?"

After reading through the entire method given by Su Tong Xiu Mo, Su Yuan felt a sudden sense of clarity, and a well-developed plan appeared before him.

"Su Yuan, have you thought of anything?"

Seeing Su Yuan's happy face, Qi Hanyue couldn't help but show her joy as well, and asked curiously.

Su Yuan lowered his head and said in a very gentle tone:
"Han Ya, I have found the nemesis of the demon race, and you are an indispensable part of its creation. Are you willing to help me?"

Qi Hanyue: "..."

Her sixth sense told her that Su Yuan's visit to her was not for anything good.
