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

Little Yama took it, quickly tore open the plastic bag, and used disposable chopsticks to arrange the food in front of him, talking as he ate.

"Damn it, I forgot to tell you before, I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten for a day and a half."

Zhou Yan also sat down in front of Little Yama.

"Shall I prepare some more food for you later, Brother Yan?"

Zhou Yan originally wanted to give Xiao Qi Yanjun some money, but then he thought that it might not be good for such a young girl to have money on her, so it would be more appropriate to prepare some food for her instead.

Little Yama pointed at Zhou Yan with his chopsticks.

"Let's put the food aside for now. You're quite something, kid. I saw it from the side. It's only your first day here, and you've already caught someone's eye. Do you want Brother Yan to give you a hand and help you get that girl over there?"

Zhou Yan shook his head.

"We're here to save Guanyin, so why are we thinking about this?"

After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Yan spoke again.

"Leng Qing is really rich. I estimate that my college loans amounted to several million, and she paid them off for me in one go."

With his mouth full of food, Little Yama took a sip of soup, swallowed the food, and then spoke.

"It's just investing. Do you even know what investing is?"

Zhou Yan nodded.

"I understand, nine out of ten investments result in losses."

There's a joke about investing in and starting a business: a lawyer friend of mine went to a bank for a business loan, but instead of using the loan to start a business, he bought a car and a house.

The lawyer later spoke with a bank teller about taking out a business loan to buy a house. The teller exclaimed that the person who bought the car and the house was smart, because over 95% of business loans are unprofitable, while at least you can see the actual property when you buy a house.

Of course, if a capitalist is afraid of losing money and dares not invest, then he is out of his mind. Capitalists know that nine out of ten times they will lose money when they invest, but they are willing to risk losing one out of ten.

Leng Qing thought Zhou Wuyan was the same way. She just felt that Zhou Wuyan was worth investing in. As for the future, if Zhou Wuyan also became just an ordinary person, then it would be a failure of the investment. If Zhou Wuyan rose to prominence, Leng Qing's return would be much greater.

Zhou Yan's phone rang. The young man took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from Bai Yuan and Lao Wang, saying that they had found a hotel to rest in and sent Zhou Yan the address.

Zhou Yan glanced at the address and then asked Little Yama.

"Brother Yan, are you sure you want to stay here?"

Little Yama shoveled at his food.

“We woke up here, and this place is so strange. There must be something going on. Anyway, it won’t hurt to stay here for a few more days.”

Zhou Yan looked in the direction of Fengyang Village.

"Brother Yan, do you mean we should go and take a look at Fengyang Village?"

Little Yama, with rice grains stuck to the corners of his mouth, looked around and whispered.

"I've been investigating on an empty stomach all this time, and it hasn't been without results. After you left, I went to Fengyang Village to investigate again. I found an entrance in a corner of Fengyang Village. Yin energy kept surging out of that place, which was obviously abnormal. However, I was too weak to go down there at that time. Now that you're here, Xiao Yan."

Little Yama gave a thumbs up.

"After we train for a few days and develop the ability to survive, we'll go down and scout ahead."

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment.

"Will the members of the 'Exploring Unscientific' program team find out?"

Little Yama pointed to himself and said.

"Xiao Yan, just say you heard my cries for help and came to find me. Who knew I fell into the underground passage of Fengyang Village and got lost. We just wandered around and bumped into each other."

Zhou Yan couldn't help but stare at the little Yan Jun frantically eating in front of him. (°；!5♂陆≮］。（

In this life, Little Yama was reincarnated as a rural girl, an unwanted child whom neither her maternal grandmother nor her maternal uncle loved. As a result, her facial skin was dry, cracked, and peeling, her palms were covered with thick layers of skin, and the cotton-padded clothes she wore were showing through. She looked pitiful no matter how you looked at her.

If a little girl like this is in danger, it's only right to save her.

Zhou Yan praised.

"Good idea, but you can't take off these clothes."

"How can I pretend to be pitiful if I take my clothes off?!"

After a pause, Little Yama beamed with joy.

"Hey, I just remembered something."

Zhou Yan inquired.

Is the food too salty or too spicy?

The food in this village is a bit too strong. For Zhou Yan's taste, the dishes here are too salty and spicy. Of course, such strong-flavored dishes are both satisfying and go well with rice.

Little Yama stroked his chin and said.

"I was thinking that if I were Wenquxing (a famous Chinese dictionary), that old man would probably cry and shout that he was so pitiful if the girls in your program saw him, and then ask for a hug."

Little Yama looked at Zhou Yan's chest.

"If any of the girls in your team were even a little bit soft-hearted, they would definitely have gently comforted Wenquxing."

Zhou Yan: "..."

Judging from the tone of Little Yama's voice, it seems that Wenquxing (the God of Literature) has done these things in the past.

Wenquxing is really powerful; Zhou Yan couldn't have done something like that.

"OK OK."

Zhou Yan stood up.

“阎7哥你在4这儿等一1会儿6，明天我再带9给你一些饭菜0。”7“□8∽＿0「

Little Yama hurriedly said.

"Wait, you should at least leave me some money before you leave, right?"

"Brother Yan, aren't you afraid of attracting unwanted attention with money like this?"

"Then at least buy me some chicken legs and drinks, okay? It's so cold at night, how can you bear to see a poor, lonely girl like me, whose parents have all died, shivering in the cold night wind?"

Here's a little-known fact: most people who freeze to death do so because of hunger and cold. Under normal circumstances, it's very difficult for a person to freeze to death after they've eaten their fill.

"Okay, Brother Yan, wait here, I'll go buy it for you."

Zhou Yan went to a nearby supermarket and bought Lao Li's spiced pork leg, nutritional drinks, dried tofu, pig's trotters, and other food items, which he then delivered to Xiao Yanjun as a late-night snack.

After doing all this, Zhou Yan found the Harmony Hotel in the village according to the address given by Bai Yuan and Lao Wang, went up to the second floor, and knocked on the door of a double room.

The door opened quickly.

The person who opened the door was his colleague, Lao Wang. Lao Wang looked at Zhou Yan outside the door with a smile and asked meaningfully.

"Are the girls in this village moisturized?"

Zhou Yan: "Σ(°△°|||)"

Old Wang said with disdain.

"Don't make such a fuss. What's wrong with you, a strong 28-year-old man, going out to find young girls?"

Bai Yuan's voice came from inside the room.

"I have several VIP cards for high-end clubs. If you're interested, Xiao Yan, I can tell you how to find a beautiful and gentle girl."

Zhou Yan: “(?_?)”

I'm only eighteen! How could you say something like that to me?!

The door to the seventh room was fully opened, and Old Wang came over, put his arm around Zhou Yan's shoulder, and led Zhou Yan into the house.

After walking through the corridor leading to the bathroom, the two arrived at the bedroom.

There were two beds in the bedroom. Bai Yuan was lying on one of the beds playing on his phone. When Zhou Yan came in, Bai Yuan glanced at Zhou Yan, nodded, and said something.

"Young man, let me tell you, you may be pressured by your parents to get married at your age, but as someone who's been there, I want to tell you from my experience that marriage will only make your quality of life worse. If you don't get married..."

Bai Yuan reached into his clothes and, when his hand came out, he had a card holder in his hand. Bai Yuan proudly shook the card holder, which was full of various VIP cards.

"I'll show you how a rich man should live."

The two old men led Zhou Yan to another bed, released him, and sat down themselves.

"Alright, alright, our Xiao Yan is still young, he might not be able to accept such an impure thing."

Old Wang winked at Zhou Yan.

"So, when we go back tomorrow, Brother Wang, how about you teach us how to relax?"

They say there are three ironclad bonds: fighting together, going through thick and thin together, and studying together. Bai Yuan and Lao Wang's actions show that they are truly preparing to bring Zhou Yan into their ranks.

Zhou Yan gave an awkward laugh.

"Um, I... I don't want to leave tomorrow, I want to stay."

Old Wang and Bai Yuan's expressions both changed.

Bai Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

Are the women here so moisturized?

A few seconds later, Old Wang suddenly realized.

"I remember now..."

Old Wang looked at Bai Yuan.

"It seems that Leng Qing is one of the supervisors who came to provide support this time..."

Bai Yuan also looked like he suddenly realized something.

"I see, I see."

Bai Yuan pointed at Zhou Yan.

"Young man, you're quite good. Leng Qing is a nice girl; you should definitely pay more attention to her."

Bai Yuan and Lao Wang both felt that Zhou Yan wanted to impress his fiancée Leng Qing, which was why he wanted to stay here.

Zhou Yan smiled wryly, but offered no explanation.

Chapter Twenty-One: Staying

Leng Qing had seen Zhou Yan's photos and there was no doubt that Zhou Yan was better looking than in his ID photo. However, if Zhou Yan's identity information was correct, the only thing that was better than the identity information he provided when he joined the company was his appearance.

The others are just college loans, and their families already have enough money for cars and houses. Are they normal people who might use up their parents' life savings for a single illness?

What right does someone like that have to refuse my proposal?

Zhou Yan, who was being stared at by Leng Qing, looked displeased and asked in return.

"Does Manager Leng think that we subordinates and paupers don't deserve dignity? Do you think I'll willingly kneel down and lick your shoes just because you wave a few checks in front of me?"

Leng Qing wanted to retort, "You have no idea how many people want to lick my shoes," but she swallowed the words back and simply said...

"I've already hired a lawyer to help you pay off your student loans."

Zhou Yan's expression changed.

Leng Qing continued.

"Don't think I'm pitying you. I've seen a lot of people, and you have the makings of a ruthless leader. Investing in you might bring me unexpected returns."

Leng Qing turned around.

"Little guy, you owe me a favor."

Leng Qing walked further and further away, and soon disappeared around a corner.

Zhou Yan watched Leng Qing leave. A little while later, Zhou Yan felt the food he was holding being tugged. He looked down and saw that it was Xiao Yanjun holding the food he had brought.

Perhaps sensing Zhou Yan's gaze, Xiao Yanjun, clutching the plastic bag of food, looked up and asked.

"Isn't this the food you brought for me?"

Zhou Yan let go.

Little Yama took it, quickly tore open the plastic bag, and Jiu, biting on disposable chopsticks, arranged the food in front of Noodle Seven, saying as she ate.

"Damn it, I forgot to tell you before, I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten for a day and a half."

Zhou Yan also sat down in front of Little Yama.
