“In the original plot, was this how Ye Fan got involved with the Kang Wang Residence?”
Zhou Fan pondered for a moment, thinking to himself.
“System, elaborate.”
“Ding, reporting to the Host, to know the Son of Destiny Ye Fan’s original Kang Wang Residence plotline requires consuming 1000 Luck points.”
… …
“System, what’s our relationship? Do you still need money for such a small piece of information?”
“Reporting to the Host, even close brothers settle accounts clearly. Moreover, as a product of the Dao, this System has its own rules and logic. The Host should not think of gaining something for nothing.”
“Hmm, System, you’re right. Actually, I quite like the process of hard work and the moment of harvest.”
… …
After chatting a few more words with the System, and realizing he really couldn’t get any more information, Zhou Fan turned his attention back to the real world.
He scrutinized the silly roe deer in front of him, whose injuries had mostly recovered, and spoke indifferently.
“Tell me, your race, your origin, and why you followed Jiang Qingzhi here.”
The Desire Demon knew that its life and death were no longer within its control, so it honestly began to speak.
“Master, I am of the Desire Demon race. My name is Mengli, and I have an elder sister named Mengxue.”
“My sister and I hatched from eggs in an ancient ruin. Not long after we were born, that ancient ruin collapsed.”
“Then my sister and I haphazardly fell into this Small World.”
“To be honest, the Spiritual Qi concentration in this Small World is shockingly low, far inferior to the ancient ruin we were in before.”
“But since we’re here, there’s nothing we can do. Fortunately, both my sister and I have the Bloodline Legacy of the Desire Demon race.”
“In the Bloodline Legacy, we learned that the Desire Demon race can not only Cultivate by absorbing Spiritual Qi but also by absorbing the power of moonlight.”
“After that, we Cultivated diligently in a remote deep mountain for eighteen years, but Cultivating by absorbing the power of moonlight was too slow, and the power of moonlight in this Small World was pitifully thin.”
“My sister and I endured harsh conditions every day, Cultivating diligently in the deep mountains for so many years, yet our cultivation remained in the early Qi Ling Realm, which is the early Qi Refining stage among you Human Race cultivators.”
“Fortunately, when my sister and I reached eighteen years old, our Bloodline Legacy gained many Legacies from adult Desire Demon Seniors.”
“After seeing their Legacies, my sister and I finally understood why they could live so comfortably.”
“It turns out our Desire Demon race can manipulate the desires of other races and then absorb the power of desire to Cultivate.”
“And according to the Seniors’ Legacy, we learned that the Human Race is rich in the power of desire, so my sister and I successfully infiltrated a Human Race town half a year ago.”
“In that town, the power of desire in the Kang Wang Residence was the most concentrated. My sister and I only made a slight move, and the desires of those low-class humans in the Kang Wang Residence surged. Then my sister and I hid in the Kang Wang Residence, using the Kang Wang Residence as a starting point, slowly harvesting the power of desire from that town.”
“My sister’s and my cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds in the past six months. Not long ago, my sister already made a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Qi Ling Realm. I feel like I’m also about to make a Breakthrough, just missing an opportunity.”
“More than half a month ago, I saw that Jiang Qingzhi’s desires were becoming increasingly strong, and she even secretly snuck out of the Residence. Out of curiosity, I followed her out.”
“Originally, I thought that in such a mundane Small World with thin Spiritual Qi, I shouldn’t encounter any danger with my cultivation, and I could also find an opportunity to make a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Qi Ling Realm.”
“Then I met you, Master…”
Zhou Fan listened to the Desire Demon Mengli’s narration, pondered for a moment, and said, “Xiao Li, then, does that mean Jiang Qingzhi’s strange behavior these past few days was all your doing?”
“Master, I admit that before you and I signed the master-servant contract, I did amplify Jiang Qingzhi’s desires a little.”
“But after you and I signed the master-servant contract, I haven’t used my ability at all.”
“Oh, is that so.” Zhou Fan heard this and smiled contentedly.
He rubbed the silly roe deer’s head and said gently, “Xiao Li is so well-behaved, as your Master, I naturally have to reward you well.”
“Xiao Li, is there any reward you want?”
Mengli saw Zhou Fan suddenly being so agreeable and immediately said, overjoyed.
“Master, I want to dissolve the master-servant contract with you, can I?”
Zhou Fan smiled. He narrowed his eyes and still said gently, “Xiao Li, in the future, don’t make such difficult requests for me, okay?”
Looking at Zhou Fan’s gentle smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, for some reason, Mengli suddenly felt a headache. It quickly changed its words and said.
“Master, Mengli was wrong. How about you don’t reward me, Master?”
“Xiao Li, I always reward and punish clearly. Your behavior makes it very difficult for me.”
Mengli heard this and immediately said, almost in tears.
“Master, Mengli was wrong again. Mengli begs you to let me absorb a little of your power of desire, can I?”
After speaking, as if afraid Zhou Fan wouldn’t be satisfied, Mengli quickly added, “Master, your power of desire, both in quantity and quality, far surpasses that of other humans.”
“Moreover, Mengli will only absorb a little of the desire that naturally emanates from you over these three days. It will not have any impact on you.”
Seeing that this silly roe deer was indeed intimidated by him, Zhou Fan nodded in satisfaction.
After receiving confirmation from the System that Mengli’s words were true, Zhou Fan laughed heartily.
“Xiao Li, this time your requested reward is very good, I am very satisfied.”
“How about this, from today until we reach the Kang Wang Residence, all the desire that emanates from me will be yours, what do you think?”
Upon hearing Zhou Fan’s words, Mengli immediately knelt on all fours, saying tearfully with gratitude, “Thank you for your grace, Master.”
This silly roe deer is quite cute in its foolishness.
Seeing Mengli being so sensible, Zhou Fan no longer demanded too much from it.
“Alright, you can follow behind the carriage procession these few days. Don’t fall behind.”
“Once we reach the Kang Wang Residence, I’ll find your sister and bring her to keep you company.”
Mengli: “…”
“Hmm?”
“Thank you for your grace, Master.”
“Hmm.”
Watching Zhou Fan’s swaggering back as he left, Mengli felt that it had never been as unlucky as it was today.
Sister, I miss you.
… …
By the time Zhou Fan returned to the carriage procession, it was already dusk.
He looked at Yaya’s carriage, then at Jiang Qingzhi’s carriage.
Thinking Yaya might still be sleeping, he unhurriedly walked towards Jiang Qingzhi’s carriage.
As soon as he entered, Zhou Fan felt a koala-like figure cling to him.
“Husband, Qingzhi missed you~”
“Qingzhi, my wife, I missed you too…”
