Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

Although it may not be as refined as the food in Tushan.

But in terms of taste, it has a unique flavor.

Seeing that Fengqi didn't say anything and just kept eating the braised pork offal, Lin Yu wiped the stove and said with a smile.

"It's freshly cooked, so it might not taste that good yet."

"Leave it in the pot overnight tonight, and it will taste even better when we eat it tomorrow."

Feng Qi remained silent, focusing intently on the food in front of her, seemingly not wanting to be disturbed by anyone at this moment.

Lin Yu only approached her after she had finished a bowl of braised pork, drunk several mouthfuls of soup, and finally put the bowl down.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 7 It turns out the rich woman was right beside me.

"How about it, do you want to invest in my business?"

What are the benefits of investing in you and me?

Feng Qi glanced at Lin Yu, but instead of answering him, she asked him a question.

"We can offer you dividends; we can handle the profits."

"unnecessary."

Feng Qi shook her head, seemingly having absolutely no interest in dividing the money.

'So she really is some runaway rich heiress?'

Seeing this reaction, Lin Yu became even more certain of his guess.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let me know when I do. Consider it as granting me a request."

"Row."

Lin Yu didn't hesitate and spoke decisively.

Having arrived in this unfamiliar world, he would have died long ago if it weren't for the person in front of him saving him.

Not to mention that they've been eating and living here for so long for free, and still have time to use the system to slowly develop their character.

Agreeing to a request is no problem at all; otherwise, it would be too ungrateful. He's not the kind of heartless person.

Seeing that Lin Yu had agreed, Feng Qi said calmly.

"Come in with me."

With that, he got up and walked towards his room.

Lin Yu responded and followed behind, his eyes filled with curiosity.

He stayed here for quite some time.

However, he had never been to the other party's house.

I was still somewhat curious.

As soon as Lin Yu pushed open the door and stepped into the room, he smelled a faint fragrance in the air that was completely different from other places.

He was familiar with this fragrance; he often smelled it on Feng Qi.

The room was very clean, and everything was in perfect order, which surprised Lin Yu.

'You're actually quite hardworking in private.'

Lin Yu thought to himself that he had always thought Feng Qi was the type who did nothing.

After all, it's not surprising that people would have such thoughts about her lazy appearance.

Feng Qi led Lin Yu to the bedside, where she took out a small box from the headboard.

When the box was opened, the dazzling array of jewels that appeared inside almost blinded Lin Yu.

Gold ingots, silver ingots, jade, and jewelry.

This box, about the length of a forearm, contained everything Lin Yu could think of.

'She really is a runaway heiress.'

If before it was just a guess, now he is basically certain.

This girl is a rich heiress who ran away from home.

Therefore, they are not very good at ordinary things, and the servants definitely do them at home.

That explains the air of nobility about him.

Thinking of this, another question arose in Lin Yu's mind.

That's her. Why is she living here? To avoid being found by her family?

Just as she was thinking, Feng Qi's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Is this enough?"

Looking up, she saw Feng Qi holding a gold ingot in her hand, asking her a question.

"Sister, do you have some misunderstanding about small businesses?"

"If that many were really needed, the average person couldn't afford to do business."

As Lin Yu spoke, he pointed to a piece of silver, about the size of two fingers, in the corner of the box.

This must be the least valuable item in the box.

"Here, that piece of silver is enough."

"That's all you need?"

Feng Qi raised an eyebrow and said to Lin Yu.

"Otherwise, I just lack the initial capital. Once the business is up and running, I'll start making a profit."

Lin Yu shrugged. "But you'd better hide this box well. With so much money, aren't you afraid of people finding out?"

As he spoke, Lin Yu's expression became more serious, and his tone became more earnest.

"Believe it or not, if the villagers find out about this one box, we won't even survive this winter."

Lin Yu's words were not an exaggeration.

It is said that bad people come from poor and remote places. The place where they live now, while not exactly a poor and remote place, is not much better.

Every winter, people in the village freeze to death.

In places where the average standard of living is below the poverty line, it is obviously impossible to expect people not to be tempted by so much money.

"Didn't you break a wooden stake with one punch yesterday? You're not even afraid of a tiger."

"If anyone comes, just go and kill them. Consider it repaying the debt of saving my life."

Lin Yu rolled his eyes. "Come on, there are hunters in the village. They have bows and knives. What am I supposed to do with my bare hands?"

Having weapons and not having weapons are two completely different concepts.

In my past life, there were many instances of fighting champions being killed by ordinary people with knives.

"If that's the case, I guess the only option is to take you on a life-or-death journey."

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment before speaking to Feng Qi.

"Actually, I've always had a question, but if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine."

"You're so rich, why don't you live in the city? Is it to avoid your family searching for you?"

Lin Yu had already started imagining a scenario where a rich heiress was trying to escape her family's search.

"Too lazy to go. This place is pretty good too, quiet."

Fengqi closed the small box, then stuffed it into the bed, before lazily leaning against the bed frame.

"But it's still not safe, in case the demon race attacks."

"You want to take me to the city?"

"The reason I'm doing business is because I have this plan in mind."

Fengqi thought for a moment, "If you pay for it, I don't mind moving."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu smiled, picked up the silver, and turned to walk towards the door.

"Once I've saved enough money, we'll move."

As he spoke, the figure had already walked out of the house and waved to Feng Qi.

Watching Lin Yu leave, Feng Qi glanced at the small box she had placed on the bed, her expression somewhat subtle.

. . . . . .

the next day.

Lin Yu got up very early in the morning.
