I and countless versions of myself simultaneously travel through time.

True love?

He recalled his past love from his youth.

That girl eventually married the warlord.

So what?

Oh well, I've come to terms with it.

He glanced at Ye Yan; this kid's cultivation was rising rapidly. At this rate, he'd probably ascend to immortality in less than a year.

With him around, nothing serious will happen at the mortuary.

Besides, he's been hoping to learn a few tricks from Ye Yan about those aphrodisiac pills he's been tinkering with lately... He's a man who's getting married too.

I've tried to persuade Qiusheng several times these past few days, but it's no use.

Ye Yan tried to fight Xiao Yu several times, but to no avail. He couldn't be bothered to get involved at all. In his words, Dong Xiao Yu neither improved his strength nor had a great figure, so he just couldn't arouse his interest.

Once you've got a taste for something, you can't get it off.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Uncle Nine waved his hand: "Alright, alright, you two can be together, I can't be bothered with you. Just don't disturb my studies."

He looked at Ye Yan, "It's up to you."

Four eyes suddenly appeared out of nowhere, leaned close to Qiu Sheng, squinted at him for a long time, and shook their heads: "I think your eyes are tainted by love. You're hopelessly deluded."

After saying that, he and Uncle Jiu went into the house one after the other.

Ye Yan stood in the courtyard and suddenly shouted, "Come on! Junior brother, come with me! Wencai, you come too! Let's go have some fun!"

Qiu Sheng remained unmoved: "I'm not going. My eyes are only on Xiao Yu."

"Qiusheng".

"Xiaoyu".

"Qiusheng".

"Xiaoyu".

The human and the ghost huddled together, spinning in circles under the moonlight.

Ye Yan stared blankly for a while, then turned to Qiu Sheng and said, "Think about your aunt. You're her only family now. Don't let her really be drained to death."

Qiu Sheng shuddered and quickly followed Ye Yan's footsteps.

Yihong Courtyard.

A large red lantern hung on the gatehouse. The proprietress stood at the door, and upon seeing Ye Yan, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile: "Oh! Isn't this Mayor Ye? What brings you here?"

Wen Cai stumbled, exclaiming, "What? The town mayor?!"

Ye Yan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Wencai, you always look so miserable, but at least you still have room for improvement. As your senior brother, I'm really disappointed in you all."

He pointed to the gate of the brothel, "Don't worry, it's free here. At least I'm not a senior brother for nothing."

Wen Cai was dumbfounded, his mind still reeling.

Ye Yan sighed, looked up at the red light of the lantern, and said softly:

"I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was estrangement."

"Now I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table. In this town, I can do whatever I want."

[Happy Day - Day 1]

Qiu Sheng was carried into the Yihong Courtyard.

His legs went weak, his eyes were unfocused, and he kept muttering, "Xiaoyu... Xiaoyu... I don't want this to happen, please save me."

But when the group of beautiful women surrounded him, his body language betrayed him.

Qiu Sheng was shocked: This demon... is incredibly fierce.

His heart belonged only to Xiaoyu, truly only to Xiaoyu.

But Xiaoyu stood outside the door, watching helplessly as the group of people pounced on her man, her face turning green with rage.

She lifted her foot to rush in, but Ye Yan stopped her.

"What's the rush?" Ye Yan said with a smile. "Let him see the world."

Qiu Sheng wanted to escape, but the effects of the aphrodisiac pill had already kicked in.

That tiny pill was now causing turmoil within his body, making his meridians extremely congested with blood.

"No, no, no... I have a family..."

"This can't be done, Xiaoyu, why are you just watching?"

No one cares about him.

[Happy Day - Day Two]

Ye Yan let Xiao Yu in.

Xiaoyu rushed into the room and saw Qiusheng lying paralyzed on the bed, looking utterly hopeless.

Tears streamed down her face as she rushed over and hugged him tightly. "Qiu Sheng! Qiu Sheng, wake up! It's fake! You're being attached to illusions."

Qiu Sheng opened his eyes and saw that it was her. His lips trembled as he said, "Xiao Yu... save me... I don't want to die, but my junior brother didn't force me. It was my own choice."

Ye Yan leaned against the doorframe and said slowly, "Qiu Sheng, don't go today. Get some rest and come back in a few days. After all, I still need to drink at your wedding."

Qiu Sheng nodded frantically.

In the afternoon, Qiu Sheng got up on his own.

He stood at the entrance of the brothel, his gaze resolute, like a martyr about to die.

No one understands the people here better than him!

Wencai grabbed him: "Qiusheng, where are you going?"

"Desensitization training," Qiu Sheng said, enunciating each word clearly. "I must abstain from lust. I will only be loyal to Xiao Yu."

After saying that, he swallowed a pill and strode inside.

The smaller head controls the larger head.

Xiaoyu stood on the street corner, watching all of this with a complicated expression.

She knew how sophisticated those women were; they understood men so well.

How could a pure-hearted young man like Qiu Sheng resist Chu Nan?

He simply made a mistake that no man should make.

But she couldn't stop her.

Once Qiu Sheng had taken the medication, she couldn't stop him anymore.

[Happy Day - Day 3]

No one noticed that Ye Yan didn't go to the brothel today.

He manipulated a "David" to quietly infiltrate the social circles of German institutions in China.

The afternoon sun shone through the stained glass windows of the tavern, falling on the round table covered with a checkered tablecloth.

"Gentlemen," Ye Yan raised his glass and said in fluent German, "let us toast to the glory of Germany, and to our leader."

A group of Germans raised their glasses.

Ye Yan put down his wine glass and began his speech.

From the Rhine to Prussia, from the iron-fisted policy to national revival, those words were like scalding oil poured into the ears of the Germans.

Outside the tavern, the sun was shining brightly.

No one knew that this debonair "Mr. David" was actually lounging on a rattan chair in the mortuary, legs crossed, munching on an apple.

Ye Yan was also a little surprised. David was essentially a vampire, and his evolutionary language had allowed him to drink the blood of at least dozens of people.

Is this much effort really necessary?!

Keep it up, David.

[Happy Day - Day 4]

When Qiu Sheng came out of the brothel, his face was expressionless.

He glanced at Xiaoyu waiting at the door and suddenly thought that her face... was just so-so.

"Qiusheng?" Xiaoyu went to greet him. "You..."

Qiu Sheng waved his hand and walked away.

Xiaoyu stood there, stunned, as if her soul had been taken away.

She stormed into the brothel and found Ye Yan drinking tea: "What exactly did you do to him?!"

Ye Yan put down his teacup and glanced at her: "I didn't do anything. He figured it out himself."

"impossible!"

"What's impossible about it?" Ye Yan stood up, patted her shoulder, and said, "He was lusting after you, but now he finds someone else's body even more appealing. It's that simple."

Xiaoyu trembled with anger. Pointing to her face, she exclaimed, "Am I not pretty? Am I inferior to those ordinary beauties?"

Ye Yan looked her over carefully for a moment: "She's alright. She's just so-so after a while."

Xiaoyu almost vomited blood.

The truth is the most hurtful.

[Happy Day - Day 5]

The Grand View Garden has been expanded.

Ye Yan personally drew up the blueprints and built a new shop for the proprietress.

The three-story building, with its carved beams and painted rafters, and large red lanterns hanging at the entrance, was quite impressive.

On the opening day, all the wealthy people in Renjia Town came.

"Mayor Ye," Ren Fa leaned closer and lowered his voice, "I heard you're planning something big?"

Ye Yan nodded, pointing to the map on the wall: "Renjia Town is too small. People from those towns to the east have been flocking here these past few days. Why? Because it's safe here. Vampires don't dare come."

"So you mean...?"

"Merge them." Ye Yan drew a circle on the map with his finger. "These towns will all be merged into it. We'll call it Guanjiang Town."

The wealthy men looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Awei!" Ye Yan called out.

Awei came running over excitedly: "Hey!"

"You're the security captain of Guanjiang Town. Keep the area safe and prevent any trouble."

Awei stood at attention and saluted: "Mission accomplished!"

This is the "Wang Shan" security guard in Uncle Nine's world.

[Happy Day - Day 6]

Qiu Sheng is urinating blood.

He squatted in the outhouse, staring at the pool of bright red blood, and remained silent for a long time.

24 hours.

He did aerobic exercise for a full 24 hours.

His kidneys felt like they'd been hit with a hammer, the pain so intense he couldn't straighten his back.

Strangely, those images were still on his mind.

"Qiusheng, come out for dinner!" Wencai called from outside.

Qiu Sheng did not respond.

He gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked out while holding onto the wall. He stopped abruptly at the door.

"Wencai, do you still have any aphrodisiac pills?"

Wen Cai's eyes widened: "You want more? Are you out of your mind? Is it really that fun?"

Qiu Sheng nodded.

But he couldn't stop.

This is all for Xiaoyu!

Uncle Nine was eating when he glanced at the food, and a thought suddenly struck him as he considered something.
