Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

After Hua Jueming and Su Shengrong left, the atmosphere in the living room immediately became awkward.

Su Bai dared not look at Hua Gengchen's face again, afraid that she would fall in love if she did, because Hua Gengchen's behavior just now was too domineering, full of boss-like demeanor. Su Bai, who had never been favored by anyone, really found it hard to control her heart, and could only do it in this way.

Hua Gengchen also dared not look at Su Bai's face, because seeing Su Bai's face would inevitably remind him of everything that happened in the bathroom last night, and even more inevitably, he would remember the place he had kissed. Because of that kiss, a beast in his heart was awakened and kept rampaging through his mind.

Before last night, he only regarded Su Bai as the one who saved the demon race. Su Bai had always firmly held the position of benefactor, so his choice to help and protect Su Bai was a matter of course in Hua Gengchen's eyes. However, after what happened last night, Hua Gengchen keenly sensed that Su Bai's position had changed, and this change was something that Hua Gengchen did not want to accept at the moment.

"Ahem," Hua Gengchen felt that going to Antarctica to calm down was urgent, so he turned his head away from Su Bai and spoke first to break the awkward atmosphere, "I have something to do next, I have to go on a business trip for a few days." Hua Gengchen had become quite adept at using the company as an excuse. It wouldn't take him more than a few days to go to Antarctica, but Hua Gengchen was afraid that he wouldn't calm down enough, so he planned to go directly to Bai Ze after arriving in Antarctica. He couldn't wait for Su Bai to complete the awakening of the Shennong bloodline and resolve the matter of the demon race, after which he would immediately find a place to sleep.

Once he gets a good night's sleep, the world will be a completely different place, and Su Bai will be long gone. He will then be able to return to his former self.

"Oh, okay." Su Bai nodded, agreeing without thinking too much. "Go ahead!"

Neither of them dared to look at the other's face, and they finished talking about something in such an eerie way.

"Time is tight, I have to leave soon, I need to pack my bags first." After saying that, Hua Gengchen fled in a hurry.

He really didn't dare to stay there any longer, because he found that even if he turned his head away from Su Bai, he would subconsciously look for Su Bai's shadow in various places, as if he were possessed.

Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief quite a while after Hua Gengchen left the living room. If Hua Gengchen hadn't left, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for much longer!

Frustrated, Su Bai lay back on the sofa, clutching his head. He thought dejectedly, "After what happened last night, how can I face Hua Gengchen?"

If Su Chengjun weren't still useful, he would definitely take revenge!

However, Su Chengjun cannot move yet, but Su Mo can!

Su Bai's eyes darted around, and he took out his phone from his pocket, sending a message to the Wishful Thinking Studio: Please pay close attention to Su Mo; I need to know her exact whereabouts.

The best way to get revenge on someone is to target what they care about most. Su Bai didn't want to do anything futile, so he had to do his research first. It just so happened that Su Mo had lost a lot of things, and this was the period when she was most likely to lose control of her emotions. Su Bai wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

The Wish Come True Studio responded quickly, replying within seconds: Okay, dear~ We guarantee to complete the task!

Su Bai's lips twitched as he read the reply; he still couldn't accept the tone no matter how many times he read it.

After turning off his phone, Su Bai remained slumped on the sofa. He had exhausted himself last night and was now too weak to go to the greenhouse to farm. Anyway, he had already planted bok choy and lettuce in his first greenhouse, which was enough for him to complete the system task. It wouldn't matter if he was delayed for a day or two.

As Su Bai lay there, he began to feel drowsy. Just as he was about to get some sleep, a sound suddenly came from the second floor. As the sound drew closer, Su Bai couldn't help but turn his gaze in that direction.

Hua Gengchen hurriedly walked up from the second floor carrying a small leather suitcase, then walked past him without pausing, not even glancing at him. When he reached the door, he called for the driver, and after the car arrived, he left without saying a word to Su Bai.

Looking at the empty doorway, it took Su Bai a long time to realize that Hua Gengchen had already left.

But the morning after Hua Gengchen returned, didn't he and Hua Jueming solemnly declare that they couldn't be separated during their three-month honeymoon?

Although Su Bai didn't completely believe this nonsense at the time, seeing the facts with his own eyes still made him furious. He had indeed been tricked by Hua Gengchen and Hua Jueming.

Hua Gengchen and Hua Jueming are truly a good master and servant pair!

For no apparent reason, after learning that they didn't have to be together during their honeymoon, Su Bai felt a sense of loneliness that made him somewhat depressed.

"Ah!" Su Bai suddenly shouted, "I don't want to think about it anymore! I'm going to sleep!"

Su Bai chose to escape the truth; it's fine if they don't have to be together, and he also has more private space.

Sleeping on the sofa is not as good as sleeping in the bed. Su Bai is not the kind of person who would compromise himself. Anyway, Hua Gengchen is not at home now, so he can occupy the whole bed without restraint.

Lying on his back in bed, Su Bai fell asleep soon after. He slept until noon, when Hua Jueming, worried that he would go hungry, knocked on the door to wake him. If Hua Jueming hadn't come to wake him, Su Bai might have slept until two or three in the afternoon.

"Madam, we've received the cash compensation from the Su family, and Su Chengjun has been removed from his position and demoted to a group leader in the expansion department. As for the transfer of ownership of that shop, it won't be completed until tomorrow." After Su Bai regained some composure, Hua Jueming told her about the progress of the matter.

"The money has arrived? Where is it?" Upon hearing the word "money," Su Bai's eyes lit up instantly, sparkling and particularly beautiful.

Hua Jueming smiled and said, "It has already been deposited into Madam's account. Madam can check the account at any time." Su Bai had previously paid Hua Jueming for the construction of the greenhouse, so Hua Jueming knew Su Bai's bank card number.

"They've all been deposited?" Su Bai couldn't help but marvel at Hua Jueming's speed of action; it was simply incredible!

Thinking this, Su Bai quickly took out his phone and opened it. Seeing the extra 700,000 yuan in his bank account balance shown in the text message, Su Bai grinned from ear to ear.

He likes seeing the numbers on his bank cards getting bigger and bigger.

Holding his phone close to his chest, Su Bai felt like he was holding a gold ingot. "I really hope this happens a few more times, so I can get lots and lots of money!"

Just as Su Bai finished sighing, Hua Jueming looked at him disapprovingly and said quietly, "Madam..." Do it a few more times? No one could possibly understand the feelings he had when he returned to find his master had run away from home. His master, as cold as ice that had never melted in a thousand years, had actually run away from home one day! What did this mean? It meant that his master had been dealt a blow, and might finally realize that his skills were inadequate!

What a blow it is for a man to be technically incompetent! His master has even run away from home!

Hua Jueming felt that he had failed in his duty as the housekeeper. He should have helped solve the problem as soon as he discovered it, instead of hesitating and not daring to speak or act, which led to the situation escalating to this point!

He'd made up his mind. He'd go back and send the study materials he found online to his master, determined to help his master regain his confidence!

Su Bai smiled apologetically, "I was just kidding..." The situation was so critical that if he hadn't woken up halfway through, and if the system hadn't helped him improve his condition, he wouldn't have been able to hold on until he could call Hua Gengchen for help.

Speaking of the system, Su Bai placed his left hand back on the mark on his right wrist, wanting to see if the same situation as yesterday would occur again. However, after trying two or three times, his body did not react at all!

Su Bai found it a bit strange. Could it be that the system malfunctioned yesterday because of the protection of its master?

Su Bai examined his right wrist closely but couldn't find anything wrong with the mark. The mark was the same as before, without any difference.

Hua Jueming looked at Su Bai with some confusion, seeing Su Bai put his left hand on his right hand and then look at Su Bai's right wrist over and over again. He really couldn't understand what Su Bai was up to.

Is it some kind of ritual? Are they trying to curse someone?!

Just as Hua Jueming was wondering, Su Bai suddenly shouted, startling Hua Jueming, "Madam, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with your hand?"

Su Bai shouted not because of anything else, but because the light screen suddenly reappeared in front of him.

[Due to excessive use of system energy by the host, the time for Initial Task 1 and Initial Task 2 has been reduced by one-third. Please complete the tasks within the allotted time.]

Originally, both initial missions one and two had three months to complete, but now only two months remain. He first unlocked mission one on July 15th, and it's now August 23rd, leaving him with 29 days to complete it. Initial mission two was unlocked on August 3rd, and just 20 days have passed, leaving him with 40 days to complete it.

If you take good care of the vegetables that have already been planted in the greenhouse, it shouldn't be a problem to complete the task within the time limit. What shocked Su Bai was not the shortened task time, but the name "system energy" that appeared for the first time!

Su Bai clearly remembered that the system's user manual did not mention the existence of system energy, which meant that there were still things about this system that he did not yet know about.

This discovery frightened Su Bai somewhat, as the system was not something conventional after all.

The system's problems couldn't be figured out all at once, so Su Bai decided to wait until after dinner to think about them slowly. Right now, it was best to calm Hua Jueming down, who was already preparing to call the doctor.

"No, it's nothing! I just saw a spider crawl by and it gave me a fright." Su Bai pointed to the spotless white ceiling and made up a lie with a straight face.

Hua Jueming looked in the direction Su Bai was pointing, but saw nothing!

But in Hua Jueming's mind, Su Bai wouldn't lie, so he said with a stern face, "I'll have someone clean the house again in a bit!" Hua Jueming firmly believed in the competence of the servants at home. Regarding the spider that Su Bai said he saw, Hua Jueming suspected that it was a demon that had come knocking on his door, and it was very likely that it was a demon that had been corrupted.

Hua Jueming took this matter very seriously and decided to report it to Hua Gengchen, urging him to come back quickly and stop throwing a tantrum and running away from home.

Madam's safety is the most important thing right now!

Su Bai laughed awkwardly, "No, no need! Maybe I'm seeing things?" He had just said something casually, but Hua Jueming took it so seriously. He felt a little guilty.

"It's absolutely necessary!" Hua Jueming said seriously. This was a major event concerning Su Bai's life and the future of the demon race, and it couldn't be taken lightly in the slightest.
