Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

"This is the only finished product I've ever made, and I've spent a lot of time and effort on it. Do you know how much risk I took and how many school rules I broke in order to make it?"

"Ten thousand won't do, you need to pay more."

Σ(☉▽☉"a

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Malfoy and his father Lucius were completely stunned. They had never heard such a fresh and unconventional reason for adding money. However, Lucius was indeed very interested in the magic grenade in Ye Feng's hand, so after only a moment's hesitation, he agreed to Ye Feng's conditions and bought it for an additional five thousand gold Galleons.

Unlike his son Malfoy, Lucius didn't think it was expensive at all; on the contrary, he felt it was great value for money. When Ye Feng placed the magic grenade on the table and began to explain its usage, power, and functions, the father and son suddenly exchanged a glance and realized they had made a huge profit.

"Let me tell you, this magic grenade is the latest type of magic grenade that I made in the last few days before the end of the semester. It has been innovatively equipped with an unprecedented friend-or-foe identification function."

Lucius and Malfoy: (⊙o⊙) Oh~ "I don't understand, but it sounds really impressive."

Ye Feng: ...

"Tsk, it's such a hassle to talk to people like you who received compulsory education without ever having experienced it."

"Let me put it this way: as long as you pull the other party into a friendly unit, even if they explode while holding that thing, they won't get hurt at all. You know what a friendly unit is, right?"

Lucius and Malfoy: ┐(?o?)┌

Ye Feng: (。o_o)

"Sigh~ Never mind, I'll explain it to you anyway."

"Friendly units are simply your own people, your teammates, and your partners in battle. This magic grenade will automatically distinguish between friend and foe after it explodes, as long as you pull the people you don't want to be hurt into your friendly units before using it."

"Of course, if you still feel it's not safe enough, this thing also has a timer function. And to prevent it from being knocked away or even returned by magic when it's thrown, once activated, the magic grenade can automatically detect magic attacks and automatically dodge them, ultimately landing accurately where you want it to explode."

"So? After hearing about all these features, don't you think this magic grenade is excellent value for money?"

Lucius, Malfoy: Mmm-hmm~

Completely captivated by Ye Feng's description of the magic grenade's capabilities, the Malfoy father and son had their eyes fixed solely on the round, glittering magic grenade. Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, they nodded frantically without even raising their eyes, which greatly pleased Ye Feng.

"As expected of the famously wealthy people in the magic world, not only do they have plenty of money, but they are also incredibly stupid and easy to fool. They were sold a magic grenade that cost ten Galleons to produce for fifteen thousand Galleons, and they actually thought it was a great deal. They're practically blaming their stupidity and wealth on their foreheads."

Of course, Ye Feng was only thinking this to himself, since he hadn't received either the 10,000 Galleons that Lucius owed him or the 15,000 Galleons he got for selling the magic grenade.

So, after letting the two look at it for three or four seconds, he took the magic grenade back and said calmly, "In China, we have a system called cash on delivery, so..."

As Ye Feng spoke, he raised his other hand, the one not holding the grenade, and rubbed his fingers together. Lucius immediately understood the gesture, nodded, clapped his hands, and waited quietly.

The wait was long. They waited a full minute before a small house-elf dragged a leather glove case into the study. Ye Feng only glanced at the house-elf's movements when he deduced that the small suitcase contained at least 30,000 Galleons.

Sure enough, Ye Feng's eyesight was quite accurate. As Lucius snapped his fingers, the briefcase on the ground flew onto the table and opened automatically. When the briefcase opened, Lucius said with a smile, "There are 30,000 Galleons here. 25,000 Galleons are to repay your debt to buy this magic grenade. The remaining 5,000 Galleons represent the friendship of the Malfoy family."

If anyone else tried to gain his friendship with five thousand Galleons, Ye Feng would have slapped those five thousand Galleons in their face without hesitation. But now that it was the Malfoy family who wanted to gain his friendship with five thousand Galleons, things were different.

Lucius can be considered a staunch Death Eater, Voldemort's loyal henchman. As for Voldemort's relationship with Ye Feng, we can see from the previous two semesters. So, it's a waste not to take those five thousand Galleons.

Therefore, Ye Feng didn't stand on ceremony at all, simply closing the box and casually storing it in his spatial ring. Then, he placed the magic grenade on the table and pushed it in front of Lucius, saying, "The money and goods are settled, but I'll remember the friendship of your Malfoy family."

After saying this, Ye Feng reached out and pressed his hand on the table, intending to get up and leave. Seeing this, Lucius quickly called out to Ye Feng, saying, "Mr. Ye Feng, since we are now friends, why don't you stay for lunch before you leave? I think we can cooperate in many areas."

Ye Feng: [?ヘ??]

Although he was slightly suspicious, Ye Feng wanted to see what Lucius was really up to, so he accepted Lucius's invitation.

When Lucius's wife, Narcissa, brought in a girl who was about fourteen years old but already quite mature, whose looks were slightly inferior to Hermione and Cho Chang but whose figure was more hot and alluring, and had her sit next to him, and who frequently flirted with him, Ye Feng roughly guessed what was going on.

"Is she planning to use her beauty on me? I don't know if she's after my potential or my 'business'. But this girl, supposedly Malfoy's cousin, is quite good quality. I'll try flirting with her and see if I can get any information out of her."

Chapter 128 Lucius: Not dead, how powerful can a grenade be?

The group of people, each with their own thoughts, finished the not-so-delicious lunch. Judging from the girl's behavior, she was quite satisfied with Ye Feng; otherwise, she wouldn't have kept asking Malfoy about news related to Ye Feng after he left.

The reason why Lucius so admires Ye Feng and even wants to make him one of his own is actually quite simple.

Both the flying broom and the talismans in Ye Feng's hands were extremely profitable, but Lucius felt that Ye Feng had completely wasted his talent, because if he had focused on studying these two things, it would have been no problem to take them to the next level in the magical world.

Of course, Ye Feng's 'business' skills were even more lacking. His flying broom and talismans were both famous throughout the magic world, but he didn't seize the opportunity to start his own business. Instead, he still relied on others to sell his products, giving away most of his Mora (Σ(°Д°;Holy crap! I've been exposed!) for nothing.

If it were him, he could make these two things generate at least twice the current value in just one month. So he picked out the best girl in the Malfoy family who was about the same age as Ye Feng and had the best looks and figure, with the aim of getting Ye Feng to join their family.

Although the girls around Ye Feng were all quite stunningly beautiful, they were still too inexperienced and didn't know how to make a move. So they still had a good chance. After all, who could resist a girl whose looks were at least 85 points and whose figure was at least 90 or 95 points?

Even if the marriage proposal fails, maintaining a good relationship with Ye Feng would be enough. Of course, if the marriage proposal fails, perhaps they could consider establishing a purely sexual relationship. Even if the relationship isn't great, there's still a good chance of cooperating with Ye Feng.

Lucius had already done his research. Besides the flying broom and talismans, Ye Feng had quite a few other valuable items. If he could acquire just one of them, the Malfoy family would have no problem becoming one of the most prestigious families in the wizarding world.

Of course, what Lucius coveted most was the design and manufacturing method of the magic grenade, because with that, it wouldn't be impossible for the Malfoy family to dominate the wizarding world. For that, he wouldn't hesitate to offer up a niece or even have his son Malfoy sacrifice himself.

Ye Feng also saw through Lucius's ambition. He also saw that Lucius really wanted the manufacturing method of the magic grenade. However, even if Ye Feng had the blueprints, let alone the design, they still wouldn't be able to manufacture it.

While this thing is powerful, its greatest difficulty lies not in that aspect, but in the magic arrays that distinguish friend from foe and automatically detect and evade interception. If all else is taken into account and all that is needed is a powerful magic grenade, then all that is required is to refine some potent magic potions and inscribe a suppression array.

Of course, even if they were given the grenade, Ye Feng wouldn't give it to them because they couldn't manufacture it. Once this thing got out, who knows what geniuses might research it and come up with something. So Ye Feng just sold the grenade to Lucius. As for whether Lucius could research something from that grenade, that was his business.

"I just hope you don't dismantle it recklessly. I designed the magic circle on that thing to be a chain reaction. If one of the magic circles is destroyed or triggered, it will cause a chain reaction and explode rapidly."

Ye Feng muttered something under his breath and quickly put it out of his mind before humming a little tune and going home. He had safety measures in place for that thing, so even if it was accidentally touched or disassembled and exploded, it wouldn't hurt anyone; at most, he would only lose some property.

On his way home, Ye Feng, carrying his day's haul, stopped by the market to buy some delicious food for a big dinner. Little did he know that after he left, Lucius had taken the magic grenade into the potions room.

Yes, the Malfoys do have a separate potions room, but they don't usually need it. After all, they are quite wealthy, and they can simply buy potions if they want them. In addition, Snape is the Malfoys' godfather, so they don't actually lack potions.

However, they can do without it but not without it, so they not only have a potion room but also a separate greenhouse. However, most of the things grown in this greenhouse are not herbs but ornamental plants and fruits.

Of course, none of that matters. What matters is that after bringing the magic grenade to the potion room, he began to study it with various tools. He not only photographed the magic grenade from all angles, but also drew all the patterns and details in detail.

But that wasn't the most outrageous part. The most outrageous part was that he not only drew it, but also marked the depth, size, and quantity of the lines next to it in dense annotations. The level of seriousness and meticulousness was so great that even Ye Feng would have to give him a big thumbs up.

After all these things were drawn, Lucius set up a magical recording machine to record his entire disassembly process.

However, Lucius broke out in a cold sweat as soon as he started working on it, because he discovered that the magic grenade was actually a perfectly formed whole, and more importantly, he could see dense magic patterns in the tiny gaps between the joints.

Of course, this wasn't what truly terrified him. What really made him break out in a cold sweat was that when he had just slightly pried at the dense magic circle, the spot where his small metal rod had touched flickered. This immediately scared him so much that he dared not make any more moves.

"Gulu~"

"This is truly ingenious skill. No wonder he can create both a flying broomstick and talismans. It seems I haven't valued him enough. Perhaps he will be an even more dazzling and worthwhile investment than the mysterious man."

"It's a pity he's not a pure-blood wizard, otherwise I would have found a way to keep him here today and make him and Nymphadora consummate their relationship, so that he would truly become a member of our Malfoy family."

Amidst exclamations, Lucius picked up the magic grenade, recalled how Ye Feng had taught him to use it, and pulled everyone in the manor into friendly units.

Although he was reluctant to use this thing now, and judging from Ye Feng's previous items, the quality was quite reliable, he had just pried it open, so he decided to mark everyone as friendly units first.

"Seriously, is this thing really that powerful? I'm a little skeptical. Is that guy lying to me?"

"How about... we give it a try? This potion room has been specially reinforced with magic. If we add some magic defense, there shouldn't be any problem. After all, even Ye Feng himself has never used this thing, so its actual power should not be as great as he said."

"Moreover, our Malfoy family manor is quite large. He, a wizard born into an ordinary Muggle family, certainly cannot imagine how big this manor is. I guess he probably thinks that our Malfoy family manor is only a little bigger than the yard of an average Muggle."

"Plus, it's business, so who doesn't exaggerate the merits of their own products? Therefore, this thing's power should only be enough to collapse one house at most."

The more Lucius thought about it, the more convinced he became that what he was thinking was the truth, and so... *ding*...

Chapter 129 The Malfoy House – Blown Up

"Pfft~"

Inside Hogwarts, Dumbledore, who was leisurely enjoying a rare holiday tranquility while sitting on the balcony drinking tea and reading the newspaper, accidentally spat his tea onto Grindelwald's face, instantly making Grindelwald look resentful.

"Sorry, I'll clean it up for you right away, but even if you saw this news, you probably wouldn't be able to resist." Dumbledore apologized while wiping the tea off Grindelwald's face. Grindelwald, hearing Dumbledore's words, became curious about the newspaper's contents, and so…

"Pfft~"

Dumbledore: (。oˇ?ˇo。) This guy is definitely doing it on purpose!

Dumbledore, who was also sprayed with tea, was speechless. However, Grindelwald didn't care at all and didn't clean the tea off Dumbledore's face, because he was completely absorbed in the news in the Daily Prophet.

"Yesterday, the manor of the famous Malfoy family in the wizarding world was attacked by an unknown force and was completely razed to the ground overnight. But miraculously, no one in the castle was harmed, not even their pet owls."

"We had already interviewed Mr. Lucius Malfoy before sending this message, but he refused to answer our questions or tell us what happened yesterday. He only said that it was an accident and that they were not attacked."

...

"The Malfoy family's castle has been razed to the ground? That's quite a big event. But as far as I know, the Malfoy family's castle covers a considerable area. Is there any wizarding world capable of razing it to the ground in an instant without harming the entire family?"

"Probably not? Wait... maybe there's someone who can do it."

"Ye Feng!" Almost simultaneously, Dumbledore and Grindelwald called out the person's name. At the same time, Ye Feng, who had just put breakfast on the table and was returning to his room to wake Zhang Qiu up for breakfast, couldn't help but sneeze.

"Haqiu~"

"Waaah~ Who's thinking about me?" Ye Feng rubbed his nose after sneezing, but he wasn't the only one sneezing. The Malfoy family, who had been freezing all night at the old site of Malfoy Manor, were also sneezing incessantly.

"Damn Ye Feng, I'll make you pay when we get back to school! You actually blew up our Malfoy family's centuries-old castle and left me standing in the cold wind all night! I, Draco Malfoy, will settle this with you..."

"Snapped!"

Before Malfoy could finish speaking, his father slapped him hard across the face. Of course, the slap didn't cause him any psychological trauma, because it landed on the back of his head.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm warning you, you must work hard to get along with Ye Feng at school, and you must create opportunities for your cousin to get together with him. Even if Ye Feng doesn't like your cousin, you must create opportunities for your cousin to become his first woman, or at the very least, make your cousin one of his women."

"Also, you are not allowed to reveal what happened yesterday to anyone, especially the magic grenade incident. You are absolutely not allowed to mention it to anyone, understand?"

Malfoy: (o?_o?)?

Lucius: (*｀Van?*)ノPa~

"Do you understand?"

Malfoy: (OдO；) I...I understand, but do we really have to do it? And will my aunt and cousin agree?

"That's not something you need to worry about. I'll explain it to them in detail and get their consent."

"However, the most urgent task now is to find Ye Feng. We absolutely cannot let him leak the information about the magic grenade. If someone already knows about it and it gets out, it's unavoidable. We must use whatever means necessary to keep this thing firmly in the hands of the Malfoy family."

Seeing the sword intent and ferocity on Lucius's face, a look of fear flashed in Malfoy's eyes. However, Lucius was in a hurry to find Ye Feng, so he didn't notice it. But even if he had noticed it, he probably wouldn't have cared, because the reason why the Malfoy family was able to climb up to their current position step by step was not because of arrogance and bloodline, but because of ruthlessness.

As Lucius set off for Ye Feng's house, or rather Zhang Qiu's house, he brought out a sumptuous breakfast and placed it on the table. Ye Feng, who was walking towards his seat opposite Zhang Qiu, happened to glance at the Daily Prophet delivered by the owl. This glance made him unable to look away and his mouth slowly opened wide.

"Are the Malfoys... really that reckless?"

Zhang Qiu: [?_??]

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Zhang Qiu, who had just cooled a mouthful of nutritious and delicious meat porridge and was about to put it in her mouth, stopped, tilted her head, and looked at Ye Feng in confusion, asking, "What happened to the Malfoy family?"

"I'm not entirely sure either, let me bring it over and we can look at it together." As he spoke, Ye Feng picked up the stack of the Daily Prophet's Reports and sat down next to Zhang Qiu, unfolding the newspaper. When Zhang Qiu saw the contents, her mouth quickly opened wide.

"This...this is all real, not a joke? Today isn't April Fool's Day, is it?"
