After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Zhou Yan's words brought a smile to Jiang Wanqing's face.

That's right. This little guy is only a few years old. He single-handedly defeated the hot-tempered generation of the First Academy. These young people may be very strong in combat, fearless, and don't care about their own lives. But if you can coax them properly and lower your stance enough, they are actually very easy to tame.

Zhou Yan was now feeling very comfortable from being stroked so gently. In this comfortable state, Jiang Wanqing figured that after dinner, she would take Zhou Yan to meet the board members of Anya Medical Devices and ask them to immediately transfer a share of his company to him.

This wasn't for Zhou Yan's benefit, but rather because the board members of Anya Medical Devices had recently been coerced in various ways by a pharmaceutical monopoly giant. As a future star valued by Zhuque, who single-handedly broke through the First Academy and almost killed its vice principal, Zhou Yan had enough weight to make other capitalists consider whether they wanted to confront Zhuque directly.

Then they gave Zhou Yan three streets outside the Jiangzhou state government building. Zhou Yan should at least come and take a look, and protect his own property, right?

The federal government was taking advantage of awakened individuals like Lu Wanqing for free, and Lu Wanqing followed suit, taking advantage of Zhou Yan for free as well.

While this little guy is still unaware of his own worth.

"but……"

Zhou Yan changed his tone.

"What I, Zhou, like most is to reject arrogant people."

Two more waiters came in from the doorway carrying trays and placed them in front of Zhou Yan and Jiang Wanqing.

Zhou Yan raised an eyebrow at Jiang Wanqing.

"you can go now."

Zhou Yan didn't mind helping these future heroes, but Jiang Wanqing's perfume and ambiguous actions clearly made her think he was a fool.

If I agreed, wouldn't I be a fool?

Jiang Wanqing's expression changed repeatedly. Wasn't the negotiation going well?

What's gotten into this guy? He suddenly rejected me. Is it even possible for me to say something conciliatory now...?

Jiang Wanqing's hair suddenly stood on end. Zhou Yan, who had seemed quite easy to talk to just now, suddenly exuded a terrifying aura that made her tremble and break out in a cold sweat. This terrifying aura was so strong that Jiang Wanqing wanted to leave Zhou Yan's side as soon as possible, never wanting to see this terrifying monster again in her life.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Jiang Wanqing screamed hysterically, which made the waiters who had lifted the dome cover next to her all look at Jiang Wanqing, and their expressions changed in shock.

Lu Wanqing was pale and covered in cold sweat, as if she were experiencing menstrual cramps.

Jiang Wanqing said, trembling.

"I... I have another secret to sell to you..."

Zhou Yan stared at Jiang Wanqing for half a second before speaking.

"You want to go out for a bit?"

Knowing that Zhou Yan was referring to them, the waiters bowed to him before leaving, carefully closing the door behind them.

Zhou Yan suppressed his fear, and after an hour of this fear, Jiang Wanqing's upper body slumped onto the table. However, before collapsing onto the table, the woman reached out and braced herself, managing not to slump onto the table in an embarrassing manner.

After catching her breath, Jiang Wanqing struggled to get up, and the way she looked at Zhou Yan when she stood up was different.

Jiang Wanqing knew that Zhou Yan was very strong, and she also knew that Zhou Yan had broken through the First Academy and almost killed the vice principal of the First Academy. When this news spread around Jiang Wanqing, many awakened people said that it was the luck of the other demigod contestants that Zhou Yan did not participate in the competition this year.

Jiang Wanqing agreed with this statement, but despite her agreement, she was surprised that she couldn't even stand next to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan could completely suppress her spirit with just his aura.

"My secret is very important."

Jiang Wanqing wiped away her sweat and moved her back a little away from Zhou Yan. Even though Zhou Yan had already withdrawn his fear, Jiang Wanqing still felt uneasy standing next to him.

Zhou Yan used his omniscience to observe this secret, but he could not observe it.

This suggests two things: either this matter is extremely complex, or Jiang Wanqing is just spouting nonsense and there is no such secret at all.

"You go first."

Zhou Yan put his chopsticks down on the table and turned to Jiang Wanqing.

Jiang Wanqing held her breath nervously.

"Someone wants to kill you."

Zhou Yan shook his head.

"nonsense."

Zhou Yan didn't sense any danger anywhere.

Jiang Wanqing spoke with a slight wheezing.

"They think you're too powerful, so they don't dare to kill you, but... um... Mr. Zhou, do you know Lin Anru?"

Zhou Yan's eyes widened slightly.

"continue."

"They think you're too powerful to kill you, but if Lin'an isn't strong enough, they're prepared to kill you."

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment.

"Is it the Zhang family from Indiana who want to kill me?"

Jiang Wanqing smiled wryly.

"So you know who you've offended?"

Isn't that just nonsense?

The only person he and Lin'an had offended, and who could be considered a deep-seated grudge, was Zhang Ye from Yindi Prefecture, the one who had been mocked by Chi You.

Zhou Yan tapped on the dining table.

Tell me more about the Zhang family.

Jiang Wanqing hesitated.

"Then what is my request..."

"I can help you with my senior, but as for the land in your state and the shares in those companies, forget about it."

Zhou Yan shook his head.

"I don't care."

Jiang Wanqing sighed inwardly. Sometimes it's just so infuriating that the things you desperately want but can't have are things that others have already had enough of.

However, it would be good to get Zhou Yan's promise. Winning the two games would allow Jiang Wanqing to secure more resources from the federal government.

"That's right. About five days ago, I went around asking for help using our state's land and mineral resources."

Zhou Yan nodded secretly. Jiang Wanqing had been recruiting people and resources for a long time, and selling land in Qingjiang Prefecture that she hadn't yet acquired. He was one of the later ones to start recruiting.

"Then one day, I went to the Celestial caste's villa area in Indiana. One of their butlers received me. Mr. Zhou, I think you have no idea how arrogant the Celestial castes in Indiana really are. One of their cleaning staff dared to harass me, saying that my boyfriend was definitely not as good as him, and even said that his room was in such and such a place..."

Jiang Wanqing's words made Zhou Yan roll his eyes. Indiana's economic development is the best in the entire Eastern United States. Because their economy is the worst, their economic growth rate has always been among the top three in the country. Perhaps this top three has given the people of this state some inexplicable illusions. Any Indian who can access the internet likes to harass pretty girls everywhere.

Sending compliments via text message is fine, but the worst are sending private photos of themselves and saying things like, "Your boyfriend is definitely not as good as him." Three years ago, a celebrity's girlfriend was harassed by a middle-class man in Indiana. The celebrity posted on Weibo that men should praise their girlfriends more, otherwise the cockroaches of Indiana will flood their girlfriends' email inboxes with their cockroach-smelling compliments.

"Then an uncle from the Zhang family, who only had the bloodline of the Ghost level, met me. This uncle told me that their Indiana had been unusually stable during this turmoil, and was one of the few regions in the country that could still export resources."

Zhou Yan chuckled. The Celestial caste in Indiana is mostly composed of demigods, with a large number of awakened beings of various kinds. It is because of these awakened beings that Indiana has preserved its strength best during this plague and turmoil. While other state governments have been destroyed one by one, the Indiana leadership remains unmoved.

Lu Wanqing pointed to herself.

"So if someone of my lowly status wants to seek cooperation with them, it's best to demonstrate our value."

Lu Wanqing's face showed a mocking expression.

"I accompanied this Zhang family member to the second floor to book a room."

Zhou Yan's expression changed.

Lu Wanqing's tone was playful.

"Of course I wouldn't do that kind of thing with a guy who only thinks with his lower body. I summoned a seductive ghost to keep him company. It's just a lowly ghost-level creature. He can't see through the illusions I conjure up. And while I was at it, I summoned some floating spirits and hid in a few nearby rooms to eavesdrop."

A beautiful ghost?

Zhou Yan glanced at Lu Wanqing's attribute panel. The attribute panels of these demon-level awakened individuals were neither too long nor too short. As long as he wasn't going to fight, Zhou Yan only needed to look at the name to get a general idea of ​​their awakening level. He didn't bother to look at the rest.

Therefore, Zhou Yan only discovered after scanning Lu Wanqing's attribute panel that this woman actually had a skill bar for "Seductive Ghost". This "Seductive Ghost" can currently absorb the yang energy of awakened individuals of the Ghost level or below to replenish its power. When raised to its maximum strength, it will not be weaker than a fully awakened Demon level awakened individual.

Zhou Yan looked at Jiang Wanqing again, and his expression changed immediately. Jiang Wanqing had three beautiful ghosts, which meant that marrying her would be like buying one and getting three free.

As for the three ghosts that were sent, Zhou Yan knew that only ugly ones could be called ghosts. If a ghost was even a little pretty, like Nie Xiaoqian, then it was a wife.

"Then, in a bedroom, through a wall, my floating spirit heard a young man cursing, 'I don't care, I want you to kill Zhou Yan and Lin Anru!'"

Then came an old man's voice. He said, "That guy Zhou Yan just broke through the First Academy and almost killed Dongfang Yu. I, this old man, can't even beat Dongfang Yu. You want me to fight Zhou Yan?"

"This young man then cursed, 'We are a race of gods! That bastard insulted us like that, aren't we going to retaliate?'"

The old man then said, "People of Suzaku, just bear with it..."

"Grandpa, if you don't avenge me, I'll have an abortion!"

Jiang Wanqing's expression turned strange.

"These words came from that young man, well, I think it was a man. He said he wanted to have an abortion, and if you didn't want him to, you'd be killed. Um, Mr. Zhou, you and Lin Anru..."

Zhou Yan: "..."

No, Zhang Ye, didn't you just get choked by Chi Youya?

She's pregnant already?

Zhou Yan suddenly felt fortunate that he hadn't been captured by Chi You, otherwise he would be the one waiting to give birth now.

Chapter Eight That Scoundrel

"that……"

Jiang Wanqing asked cautiously.

"That child, Mr. Zhou, is he yours?"

Seeing the guy with the male voice yelling at Zhou Yan to kill him, Jiang Wanqing thought Zhang Ye was just a pitiful woman who was tricked into bed by this scumbag Zhou Yan, caused a death, and then demanded that Zhou Yan take responsibility, only for him to run away.

Jiang Wanqing, as a woman, has seen this kind of plot far too often.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Do I look like the kind of guy who can get men pregnant?

It doesn't seem impossible. Once my awakening level is high enough, I might be able to get a man pregnant through the Great Evolution technique.

Zhou Yan tapped on the dining table again.

"How could it be mine? Besides, if that child is illegitimate, you should abort it. Why keep this illegitimate child?"

Could Chi You's child not be aborted?

Why didn't Zhang Ye abort her pregnancy?

Zhou Yan was very curious.

Jiang Wanqing said ambiguously.

"Maybe it's that, well, unmarried pregnant girl who still loves the scumbag who got her pregnant, and is still fantasizing that she can get that scumbag back through the child."

Jiang Wanqing felt that Zhou Yan had gotten Zhang Ye pregnant and then ran away. Zhang Ye was so angry that he asked his elders to kill Zhou Yan. This killing was not a real killing, but mainly to scare Zhou Yan and tell him that his business had been exposed. If he didn't want to die, he should come back and admit his mistake and then obediently become the child's father.

As for Lin Anru and the like, she's Zhou Yan's new girlfriend. Zhang Ye, being a member of the Celestial Clan of Indian Continent, is too proud to stand it and might even think that Zhou Yan left her because of this vixen, Lin Anru.

So, in addition to Zhou Yan, Zhang Ye also planned to kill the vixen who had seduced his sweetheart.

As I said before, Jiang Wanqing had seen too much of this kind of sordid stuff between men and women. Just from Zhang Ye's few words, she could conjure up hundreds of thousands of words of dramatic, melodramatic soap opera.

"so……"

Zhou Yan tried hard not to look at the increasingly subtle emotions in Jiang Wanqing's eyes.

"The secret you're talking about is that the Zhang family wants to kill me and Lin Anru?"

Jiang Wanqing nodded vigorously.

"Yes, but that's not all. I also overheard that elder saying that Mr. Zhou, you are too strong, and Zhuque is not someone to offend. So you should put this aside for now and find Heixian to kill Lin Anru first. Only then did the young voice say that we could bear with it for now."

Black Line is an internationally renowned assassin organization whose assassins have achieved numerous illustrious feats, with many demigods and demon-level awakened beings dying at their hands.

"can."

Zhou Yan clapped his hands.
