Chapter 156: Temporary Life Force Depleted

  "Thank you, I will also cooperate with the national policy, for the country and for the people is the greatest righteousness of doing business." Su Wen was still very happy in his heart, although he was not good at doing business, but he could still help Yuxue pave the way.

  "Well said." Nie Guoxiong praised.

  Then several people started having dinner.

  Su Wen looked at Nie Shengnu as she arrived by her side, somewhat puzzled: "Little girl, what are you doing here?"

  "I'll just take a look at what's different about you, is Li Huan really your employee?"

  "I suppose so!"

  "How much can you pay him per month?"

  "Basically, there's not much salary, and what I give him can't be bought with money." Su Wen tore off a piece of mutton, "Girl, Old Man Nie indeed has quite some money, but if you want to rob him by force, that's basically impossible. If you want money, learn how to be a filial son and grandson!"

  "What do you mean?"

  "What you're thinking, anyone can see," Su Wen said calmly. "Everything of the Nie family belongs to Nie Mei, and everything of Nie Mei belongs to Li Huan. Unfortunately, Li Huan doesn't care about these things. You should have taken away some things that others don't care about, but you used the wrong method. After all, you are from the same origin. If you behave well, after Old Master Nie passes away, he will naturally give you the care you deserve. But if you insist on using unscrupulous means, I guarantee that not only will you get nothing, but you will also lose Nie Guo Xiong's care."

  "Are you really here to warn us at the behest of our grandfather?" Nie Shengnu asked in surprise, "I won't believe that Grandfather told you to say these things to me. Actually, I didn't mean to seize Li Huan's family property, it's just that my grandfather and his people..."

  "Don't tell me about your family matters, whether you're poor or rich, it has nothing to do with me. I made a mistake coming here today, but since I'm here, I'll take a stand. Li Huan was the first person to follow me, and everything he has belongs only to him. If you do something out of line, Old Man Nie won't be able to bear it, but I can. The wealth of the Nie family looks like a lot, but it's not more than 10 billion. Li Huan doesn't lack this amount of money following me, and he's not concerned about these things either. If one day he decides to give you all his inheritance, then you can accept it with a clear conscience, but if he doesn't say anything, don't even think about it."

  "You're so overbearing, we don't want Grandpa's money and that's it. In the future, I'll earn hundreds of millions or even tens of billions, and then Grandpa won't think about these things anymore." Nie Shengnan looked a bit arrogant.

  "Little girl, your ideals are not bad, very ambitious." Su Wen smiled, "If the men in your family were all as ambitious as you, that old man would be smiling even after death. However, it's clear that only you have such thoughts, your grandfather and those around him don't think so. What people fear most is still greed, especially insatiable greed, can you understand?"

  "I understand. Actually, our family isn't short of money either, it's just that Grandfather and the others want more." Nian Shengnu sank into thought for a moment.

  "Little girl. You're not very old, but you're quite understanding of things. If you start a business in the future, I'll invest some shares." Su Wen smiled.

  "Really?"

  "A real man's word is his bond, I've got this amount of money."

  "How much money can you invest in me? I'm planning to start a business now."

  "You'd better focus on your studies and we'll talk about it after you graduate from college."

  "I think going to college is useless, otherwise wait until I get into college, you first invest in a small company for me, let me practice my skills."

  "Who says going to college is useless? It's a memorable period in one's life."

  "Have you gone to college?"

  "Of course I've been to university, but it was a waste of four years. On the contrary, it's as if the university educated me, and not even one bit of knowledge was left behind."

  "Are you kidding me?"

  "Girl, don't be too direct, I'm a bit shy!"

  "Then I won't say anything else, let's talk about investing and buying stocks."

  Su Wen was speechless, he found out that this girl absolutely had a mind full of ways to make money.

  9 o'clock in the evening.

  "Boss, do we have to go back now?"

  "Yi Xue will be on patrol tonight, if I'm not there, she'll worry."

  "Boss, I'm a bit curious, are you and the boss's wife really in a romantic relationship?"

  "What do you think?" Su Wen stared at Li Huan, took a deep breath and said: "Yi Xue is not an active person. I can only take ninety-nine steps first, then quietly wait for her to take that one step. Her small step may be a big step in my life."

  Li Huan said silently: "Boss, you can be a romantic hero now."

  Su Wen laughed: "Romantic king, what about you? I heard you like Lin Miaomiao, how's it going now?"

  Li Huan sighed and said, "My family is fine, no matter what kind of wife I find, no one will object. On the other hand, Lin Miao's side is more troublesome, we are just boyfriend and girlfriend now, but her family members are driving me crazy."

  "What's going on?" Su Wen wondered.

  "Lin Miao's parents are honest people, but her relatives are shameless. Now that Lin Miao has become an actress and hasn't even made a name for herself yet, some of them have already started asking for this and that. Two days ago, two relatives came to find Lin Miao, and when they heard I was just a small employee, they actually tried to persuade Lin Miao to break up with me. That's not all - when Lin Miao disagreed, they even extorted 10,000 yuan from me! It's infuriating!"

  "You're really unlucky, but just bear with it and it'll pass. If you can't bear it, don't force yourself."

  "I know what to do."

  ……

  "Halt!" Su Wen suddenly opened his eyes, he had just been using the Great Heavenly Dao Recovery System to recover treasures, but at this moment, he discovered something that was well worth recovering.

  "What's wrong?" Li Huan asked in surprise.

  "It's nothing, some things can't be missed." A blue glow appeared in front of Su Wen, "Little Tian, what is this treasure? I didn't seem to notice it when I came?"

  "Old rules, consulting fee 0.1 life force."

  "I know, go ahead!"

  "This thing is opposite to the original Yang water, and its name is called Original Yin Water." Xiao Tian smiled, "Original Yin Water is a yin attribute spiritual water between heaven and earth, which can cure hot diseases such as bronchitis and so on. However, this is not the greatest effect of Original Yin Water. The master can guess what the greatest effect of Original Yin Water is."

  "The greatest effect is that Yuan Yang water is tonic for yang, can't Yuan Yin water be nourishing for yin?"

  "No." Xiao Tian looked down on him, "If it were that simple, I wouldn't have let Master guess. It seems Master's IQ is limited, so I'll tell Master, the greatest effect of Yuan Yin Water is to refine true energy and make it even more pure."

  "Refine true energy?" Su Wen muttered to himself for a while, then suddenly cursed: "Damn it, I'm not an encyclopedia, how can I guess this? That's just ridiculous."

  Xiao Tian chuckled: "Master, are you going to recover? One drop of Yuanyin water requires 0.5 life force. By the way, Master, I remind you that you still have 6.2 temporary life force left, which will expire in two hours."

  Su Wen was taken aback: "Almost forgot about this."

  "Master, the Yuan Yin Water is a treasure condensed from the heaviest yin energy of heaven and earth. Once sunlight comes out, it will immediately disperse. The 16 drops of Yuan Yin Water you've discovered require 8 units of life force to recover."

  Su Wen thought for a moment: "Recover all of it. For the parts that don't have enough temporary life force, deduct them from my personal life force."

  Xiao Tian nodded and immediately completed the recovery.

  Temporary vitality has been completely exhausted here.

  "Boss, can I go now?"

  "Let's go!"

  Su Wen picked up three more weapons along the way, but only collected thirteen in total, unfortunately still far from completing the side quest.

  In the system.

  Su Wen sighed: "A month has almost passed a third, this task seems far from enough."

  The two of them arrived in Jiangning around eleven o'clock.

  Li Huan sent Su Wen back to his residence, and the little demon came out first to greet them.

  "Little demon, is Yuxue there?"

  "Are you going to peek while I'm bathing?"

  "Sneaking a peek at you, this little fox is also a mother's child, how come you're even more flirtatious than me now."

  "Waaah!" The little demon cried out in grievance, "Su Wen, when I transform into a human, I'll definitely be a great beauty, even more beautiful than Yi Xue."

  "You're also a little fox." Su Wen carried the little demon into the house, he didn't believe in things like fox transformations at all. In the history of human beings for so many years, who has seen a fox become a human? Su Daji was just a legend after all.

  In the courtyard, Su Wen saw Yuxue's autumn water sword.

  "You're back." Yuxue walked out of the bathroom with her hair dripping wet, "You had something to do today, so I practiced on my own."

  "I know." Su Wen nodded, "You're about to sleep, how can you do with this wet hair, where's the blow dryer? I'll help you dry it."

  Yi Xue looked at Su Wen and nodded.

  Su Wen held a hair dryer and gently stroked Yuxue's hair, softly blowing it dry as warmth filled the small courtyard.
