She asked with a hint of doubt: "Don't you do something awkward?"

The girl looked innocent, yet she exuded a subtle allure and charm. Many men, upon seeing her, would likely let down their guard and fall for her gentle presence.

She actually still feels shy. This girl is not as pure as she looks.

"Hehe, what are you thinking about? I think it's too early." Zhao Kangping said with a wry smile.

He already had doubts about the girl and would definitely not make a mistake easily.

The girl sat up, hugging her knees with her hands. Her exposed skin was so white that it seemed to glow in the candlelight.

She said with some resentment: "I want to be closer to you."

Zhao Kangping turned away and looked out the window.

He took a deep breath and said, "Give me some time."

In fact, he really hoped that this was not a scam. If it really was the white snake that had been lost for more than three hundred years and came back to find him to renew their relationship, he would be very happy.

But there were too many mysteries about her, so he couldn't trust her 100%.

The girl moved closer to Zhao Kangping little by little. She sat directly next to the man and leaned on him without asking his opinion.

Zhao Kangping did not push her away. Although he did not completely trust the girl, he was afraid of hurting her feelings, so he did not resist her approach.

"Can you turn into a little snake?" Zhao Kangping felt the girl's soft and boneless body. The wonderful touch of her delicate body constantly stimulated his nerves.

If he continued like this, he was afraid that he would make a mistake.

The dull pain in my waist told me that this was not a good time.

So he simply made this suggestion.

This is definitely not a curious hobby of his.

It's just that this will save him from suffering.

The girl looked at him with a strange look and said, "Don't you like the way I look after I transform?"

"That's not what I meant. I just miss the old days."

"OK then."

Then after a flash of light, she turned into a little white snake.

It looked just like when he brought it out of the secret realm. The thickest part of its slender body was only as thick as his thumb, and its entire body was not even as long as his arm.

It was only because he felt the demonic energy from her at that time and realized that she was not an ordinary demon beast, but a demon beast that had awakened its intelligence and was about to transform.

He then fed the fruit to the dying little white snake.

He picked up the little white snake from the ground again and held it in his hands. He had the illusion of returning to the past.

When he first secretly brought it back to Yaohua Palace, he often held the little snake in his hands. It was very well-behaved at the time, often lying still, rarely moving except to eat. Later, he realized that it was weak and listless due to injury.

……

The night passed quickly, and Zhao Kangping practiced all night as he said.

And the little white snake lay quietly on his shoulder.

He was now a little worried about what to do with the snake. He definitely couldn't bring it back to the Zi Yang Holy Land.

After much thought, he decided to buy a house for her to live in Chuanliu City.

After all, he had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage before, so he could buy a house in Chuanliu City with his savings.

Because people in this era have not yet consciously speculated in real estate, housing prices are not as outrageously high as in previous lives.

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Chuanliu City, so he must buy a house far away from the city center.

In order to save time, Zhao Kangping bought a courtyard house in the east of Chuanliu City.

The previous owner of this place was a businessman who was doing monk business in Chuanliu City and bought a property here.

However, after the turmoil in Chuanliu City, his customers in the city suffered heavy casualties, and his business could no longer continue. The businessman wanted to return to his hometown and wanted to sell the house as soon as possible.

Zhao Kangping went straight to the point and discussed the price with the businessman.

At the beginning, the merchant quoted a price of 20,000 low-grade spirit stones.

But Zhao Kangping felt that this place was far away from the bustling city, making life and shopping inconvenient. Moreover, the spirit gathering array in the courtyard was damaged by the earthquake caused by the last unrest and was in a state of being sometimes effective and sometimes not.

He then lowered the price to ten thousand spirit stones.

The merchant could not accept this price, claiming that he had spent more than 36,000 yuan when he bought it, and selling it at a loss of 20,000 yuan.

However, after the turmoil in River City, the city became much more desolate, and many people moved away due to the shadow left by the turmoil.

After some bargaining, Zhao Kangping finally bought the house for 13,000 yuan.

The businessman had some conscience and left all the furniture in the house untouched, so they didn't have to buy any extra furniture.

As for the damaged spirit gathering array in the courtyard, it didn't matter at all. He could repair it if he wanted to, and it wouldn't be a big problem if he didn't.

Anyway, he wouldn't stay here permanently, and demons didn't necessarily need to absorb spiritual energy to transform demonic power in order to cultivate. She was a snake demon, a carnivore, and could cultivate by eating a lot.

This also made him a little worried that the girl might be a big foodie.

When she was still the White Snake, her appetite grew as time went on.

It's really not an easy pet to keep.

Oh, by the way, when the demon clan reaches a high level of cultivation, they can also go without food and drink like the cultivators, and rely on absorbing the sun and moon to replenish their energy.

"Bai Yi, what is your cultivation level?" He knew too little about the girl, and only then did he remember to ask her what realm she was at.

The girl stared at him blankly, as if in a daze.

Could it be that she doesn't even know her own strength?

It's strange. She has been practicing the transformation of monsters for at least three hundred years. Even if her experience is not comparable to that of cultivators of the same age, she should know this common sense.

"I don't know." The girl's answer was as the man expected.

Zhao Kangping: "Do you need to eat all the time?"

"Ah? I'm easy to feed. A full meal can last me ten days to half a month." She thought the man would despise her ability to eat, so she said this.

If you still need to eat to sustain life, your realm should not be very high.

In fact, he was not quite sure. There were many unsolved mysteries about her, and he was not sure of her specific strength.

Many people may think that since they knew she was suspicious, why did they place her so close to them?

In fact, he was just hoping that she was really the white snake from the past, and that he wanted to develop a human-demon love with her like the one between Xu Xian and White Snake.

He had fantasies when he was young. Although time has passed and things have changed, he still wants to make up for the regrets of his youth.

"Can you cook?" Zhao Kangping felt that it was impossible for him to accompany her all the time, so he wanted to know how much common sense she had.

The girl shook her head. She was a demon, so it was normal that she couldn't cook.

It is impossible to learn to cook unless you have lived among humans for many years.

It seems that she has not been in the human world for long.

"How about this, you stay here first, and I'll come to make you something to eat later." After saying that, he was about to go out.

But the girl held his hand and said, "Please don't leave, okay? Are you going to leave me again?"

"No, I have something else to do. I'll really come over later." Zhao Kangping said in embarrassment.

He also had to pay the servants who occupied the city lord's mansion, and the agreed time was almost up.

He didn't dare take him to the City Lord's Mansion.

Dongfang Jingrou will also go there.

If Steward Dongfang saw the girl, how would he explain it?

"Then let's pinky promise." The girl raised her white little hand again and made a pinky promise gesture.

The man felt helpless and made a pinky promise with her.

Before leaving, Zhao Kangping suddenly remembered something.

"Would you like me to call you Bai Yi or A Xue?"

"It will be all right."

"So what should you call me?"

Hearing this, the girl fell into deep thought, and then she remembered that she had always called him "you" and had no formal name.

Seeing that she seemed to be troubled, Zhao Kangping couldn't help laughing. He said, "Why don't you call me Master from now on."

"Owner?"

"Yes, you can just call me Master."

She could be considered as a pet he had raised in the past, so there was nothing wrong with her calling him master.

Well, he did have the vanity that many men have, wanting a woman to call him master.

Without thinking, the girl called out, "Master."

Her voice was so beautiful that it made Zhao's bones soften.

After giving her some more reminders, he went out.

He first rushed to the City Lord's Mansion as quickly as possible.

As expected, Dongfang Jingrou had been waiting there for a long time.

"Friend Zhao, where have you been?" This was the first thing she asked when she saw Zhao Kangping coming over.

The woman leaned against a pillar in the corridor, blocking the path Zhao Kangping had to take to enter the City Lord's Mansion.

Needless to say, she definitely wanted to find out for her senior sister.

How could he not know that this woman was his senior sister's spy? He had already prepared a plan: "I'm going to prepare the wages for those people. Where are they now?"

The woman's attention was indeed diverted. She said, "Those people are gathered in the courtyard of the mansion. I'll take you there."

The wages of more than 300 servants is a considerable amount of money, and the Holy Land does not want to clean up He Weiyuan's mess, which is why the stalemate has come to this.

The worst way is to default on the debt and drive these people away. After all, it is not the Holy Land that owes them money.

However, sending these people away so forcefully would probably have a negative impact on the reputation of the holy land.

The debt was owed to the former City Lord's Mansion, and had nothing to do with the Holy Land. The problem was that He Weiyuan wanted to renege on the debt.

However, this time Zhao Kangping made the decision for the former city lord and helped him solve the problem of unpaid wages for migrant workers.

When they heard that their wages had been paid, the servants of the former city lord's mansion all smiled and huddled together.

Fortunately, the girls from Suzaku Hall maintained order, and they were able to remain silent.

Zhao Kangping paid everyone a salary based on the number of people who had ascended the throne before.

The crowd erupted in praise of him.

"My Lord City Lord, I am willing to work for you. I am quite familiar with your residence."

"Me too. We are willing to die for the City Lord."

"City Lord, I am proficient in the art of sex and am willing to serve you in bed."

After these people took the money, they began to show their loyalty.

However, Zhao Kangping shook his head. He didn't want to use these people. They were all people He Weiyuan had used before, and he was worried.

So not one will be left behind.

"I don't need so many people serving me. You'd better find another job." He waved his hand, signaling them to take the money and leave.

A few of them wanted to beg him to let them stay, but Zhao Kangping was firm and did not give them any chance.

In this way, Zhao Kangping sent these people away.
