Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Jiang Yingluo's eyes lit up, and her breathing quickened: "What method?"

She paused for a moment, then added, "If it involves using the Heaven's Cup, then forget it."

"It has nothing to do with the Heaven's Cup." A smile gradually crept onto Li Xingzhou's lips. "Aunt Luo, would you like to become my personal succubus?"

"Um... ah?"

Jiang Yingluo's peach blossom eyes widened in disbelief: "What...what did you say? You want me to fall into succubus???"

Are you kidding me?

"No, I'm serious." Li Xingzhou looked at Jiang Yingluo with a smile: "If you become a succubus and master the root of lust, you will definitely be able to reach the pinnacle of this world."

"Putting aside combat strength, he'll definitely reach the Demon King level in terms of cultivation realm."

Seeing Li Xingzhou's enthusiastic expression, Jiang Yingluo rubbed her forehead: "Wait, there are so many sources of demonic energy, why does it have to be lust? Can't anything else work?"

"I really felt something when you took the initiative before." Li Xingzhou took Jiang Yingluo's hand: "Becoming my succubus, I think it's great, a win-win situation, isn't it?"

Jiang Yingluo opened her mouth, feeling that Li Xingzhou's words made a lot of sense, but it just so happened to be a succubus...

This sounded a little strange to her.

Being so proper, becoming a succubus is so unbecoming of my identity...

But thinking about it carefully, becoming the Demon King would also make me stronger, and maybe I could even be a worthy opponent for Xingzhou...

More importantly, I would be of greater help to him, and I wouldn't need to protect myself specifically...

"I... I'll think about it."

Jiang Yingluo hesitated before speaking, and Li Xingzhou nodded: "Okay, if you're willing, I'll kill the current Demon King and let you take over as the ruler of the demon race."

To rule over the demon race?

Hearing this, Jiang Yingluo was somewhat tempted, but she still spoke first: "Since everyone wants me to become the Demon God King, then wouldn't other sources work too? Succubi... are still a bit strange."

“I think you are more compatible with the root of lust.” Li Xingzhou looked at Jiang Yingluo’s charming face: “Others may not work.”

"..."

Jiang Yingluo pondered for a few seconds. Among the seven deadly sins, not to mention that envy and gluttony were unrelated to her, even pride was at most somewhat related to her.

Although he is the president of the Star Group, in this extraordinary world after the revival of spiritual energy, even if he is proud of the Star Group he founded, he is far from being arrogant.

Because I don't have exceptional strength.

In addition, considering the intimacy between herself and Li Xingzhou after they got together... it's true that her own lustful desires resonated most with her.

But there is still one question.

"Aren't succubi supposed to feed on either yang or yin energy? What if..."

"My yang energy is the best in the world." Li Xingzhou was very confident in this point: "Vampires and succubi are actually somewhat similar. My blood is the most delicious thing that even a True Ancestor-level powerhouse like Olivia has never tasted before, so it is the same for succubi."

You're just focusing on absorbing my yang energy.

Hearing this, Jiang Yingluo, who felt much more relaxed, still hesitated: "Then... I'll think about it some more."

“Hmm.” Li Xingzhou nodded: “While you’re considering this, I’ll research how to refine the root of lust to best suit you.”

"Um……"

Seeing Jiang Yingluo's thoughtful expression, Li Xingzhou's smile deepened. He wasn't interested in succubi of the demon race, but he would be very interested if Aunt Luo became a succubus.

Imagine what Aunt Luo would look like with her devil horns and heart-shaped tail... A white tiger succubus, both pure and alluring, must be the best succubus.

Jiang Yingluo glanced at Li Xingzhou's somewhat perverted smile and couldn't help but punch his chest: "Why are you smiling so pervertedly? Are you trying to collect them?"

She paused, then added, "Humans, vampires, primates... you don't intend to collect them all, do you?"

"Nonsense." Li Xingzhou immediately denied it: "The Skywing Clan are the enemy..."

"What about Pope Hill III?" Jiang Yingluo asked quietly. "She was originally the Skywing Clan's representative of faith on Earth. Why would she suddenly betray the Skywing Clan and cooperate with you?"

“It’s very simple.” Li Xingzhou smiled: “He beat up Elise, who appeared to be a ‘hero saving the beauty,’ right in front of her, and her faith collapsed.”

Dealing with these religious people is the simplest thing to do: just bring their faith down from its pedestal.

Jiang Yingluo stared at Li Xingzhou for a while, wondering if that was all there was to it.

But she didn't ask, she just nodded slightly: "I'll think about the succubus first."

"it is good."

Li Xingzhou looked out the window; the next thing to do was to look at the Cup of Heaven in Lin Ming's hand.

Once the bidding process is complete, the entire Tianqi University should become ours.

After waiting for a while, when the Demon Kings who were resurrected by the Demon God King have recovered to a certain extent, we can then take action against the Skywing Clan.

He guessed that the Skywing Clan must still have the Heavenly Cup, at least two of them!

Before that, we should also reorganize the Eternal Night Council, and if the timing is right, we should also deal with the issues of the Childlike Face and the Wise Gods.

······

Time flies, and a month has passed.

Li Xingzhou's life basically revolves around three points: Tianqi University, Xingchen Group, and home.

I video chat with my sister every now and then, and I've noticed that she's been in good spirits lately. I suppose that having a firm grasp on Yunli's national destiny has also helped her weakened body.

At home, Tong Yan seemed to become a bed warmer, getting whatever she wanted every day.

Li Xingzhou didn't care; he was just waiting for Tong Yan to leave.

"She now seems like a virtuous wife."

Jiang Xuetang sat idly on the sofa, watching Tong Yan busy in the kitchen: "She's incredibly gentle, and treats you exceptionally well. Aren't you tempted by such a lovely wife?"

Li Xingzhou glanced at the petite, youthful figure from behind: "Pretty cute, isn't it?"

"You're really interested?" Jiang Xuetang glanced at Li Xingzhou in surprise, then lowered her voice: "Don't you think this is a pre-programmed procedure?"

Li Xingzhou smiled without saying a word. Jiang Xuetang looked at the girl with a gentle face walking over. The girl's eyes were so gentle that they seemed to be able to drip water. She really didn't seem to be faking it.

Jiang Xuetang looked at Li Xingzhou again, unable to understand what he was thinking.

"Lord Xingzhou, have breakfast." Tong Yan's voice was obedient: "Your formal attire is also ironed. I'll help you change in a bit."

Today is the day Lin Ming is bidding, and Tong Yan has arranged everything for Li Xingzhou perfectly since early morning.

Thanks.

After Li Xingzhou finished his breakfast, Jiang Xuetang kept observing Tong Yan and noticed that the little girl's gaze wasn't always on Li Xingzhou today, but rather lingered in the room for quite some time.

Is there still reluctance in your eyes?

Jiang Xuetang looked at Tong Yan thoughtfully. What, are you leaving?

She glanced at Li Xingzhou, who looked perfectly normal. Did he know about this?

As she pondered, Tong Yan's gaze returned to Li Xingzhou's profile: "Lord Xingzhou..."

"Ok?"

"N-nothing." Tong Yan hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Come back soon, I'll miss Lord Xingzhou."

"Ah."

Li Xingzhou nodded without saying anything more.

Tong Yan opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

Jiang Xuetang clearly saw disappointment in her eyes.

This look in his eyes doesn't seem like a pre-programmed expression; it feels more like a real person's.

No, have you really developed feelings for him?

Chapter 149 Tong Yan Leaves

Since the resurgence of spiritual energy, seasonal changes have become more pronounced, with summers becoming hotter and winters colder.

Stepping out of my house, I was greeted by a world covered in a blanket of white snow.

"Not going?"

Li Xingzhou glanced at Jiang Xuetang. With the arrival of winter, she had changed into a cashmere sweater and a skirt. Her long, straight legs were covered with black pantyhose, showcasing the beauty of thick black to the fullest.

Against her flawless, snow-white skin, an alluring yet innocent sexiness emanates from her.

Jiang Xuetang is naturally not afraid of the cold. The reason she changes her clothes with the seasons is simply to show off her fashion sense in different seasons.

Just as she expected, Li Xingzhou never got tired of looking at him.

"Let's go over later." Jiang Xuetang pointed into the house and said softly, "I'm a little curious."

Li Xingzhou nodded, then heard Jiang Xuetang's tone change, becoming resentful: "Besides, I don't want to see my awful mother at all right now."

After a month, she finally understood what the 'price' her mother had mentioned was!

A teacher who had a good personal relationship with her mother pulled her into working on a research project, asked her to help out at the company, and assigned her to attend meetings of all sizes, ostensibly to familiarize her with the group's affairs in advance...

With such interference, she hadn't seen Li Xingzhou more than a few times in the past month!

Especially whenever I want to go on a date or get close to Xingzhou, the phone will call at just the right time.

Even if nothing's wrong, it still ruins the atmosphere!

She considered not answering, but the next second she called Li Xingzhou's phone directly.

There was no way Li Xingzhou would ignore his mother's call...

Over the past month, Jiang Xuetang has come to understand that her mother had already compromised, and the reason she was targeting her now was because of her disrespectful remarks to her in the past!

She's clearly getting revenge!

But he couldn't admit that his initial defiance was an act, so he could only obediently accept it!

That's outrageous!

Jiang Xuetang looked at Li Xingzhou resentfully: "Aren't you going to say anything to her!"
