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

While calming down on the Antarctic glacier, Hua Gengchen suddenly received a message from Hua Jueming. After reading what it said, Hua Gengchen almost couldn't resist teleporting back immediately.

Su Bai's safety is a matter of great importance to the entire demon race!

There can be no room for complacency!

But then he remembered that the restrictions he set when he left had not been triggered, so it shouldn't have been a spy sent by the demons. It should have just been an ordinary spider that frightened Su Bai.

Imagining Su Bai trembling with fear at the sight of a spider, Hua Gengchen felt that the glacier beneath him was completely useless. With a leap, Hua Gengchen jumped off the glacier into the canyon, and after reverting to his original form, he slid straight down for more than a thousand meters. Feeling that the restlessness in his body had lessened, he slowly stopped.

Using his spiritual power to envelop his phone, Hua Gengchen sent a message to Hua Jueming: "The house is safe, don't worry."

Hua Jueming unconditionally believed Hua Gengchen; if he said it was nothing, then it was nothing!

But then Hua Jueming remembered that someone cleans the house every day, so how could there be a spider? And coincidentally, Su Bai saw it?

Unable to tolerate such a serious mistake in his work, Hua Jueming immediately decided to organize a thorough cleaning of his home, ensuring it was spotless and that such an incident would never happen again.

However, before that, Hua Jueming wanted to be sure of one thing: when exactly would his master return?

Hua Gengchen remained silent for a long time after seeing the message. It took him longer than he expected to calm down. He also had to go find Bai Ze afterward, and he really couldn't say for sure: about a week.

Hua Jueming: Master, isn't this taking a little too long...?

Hua Jueming asked cautiously whether he was truly unable to shoulder the responsibility of protecting Su Bai, or if it was for a whole week.

He was just a small cassia plant, his demonic power wasn't high, and he wasn't from a race known for fighting. If his master wasn't around, he truly felt insecure!

Suddenly, a thought struck Hua Jueming, and he tentatively asked, "Master, you're not coming back because you're hiding from Madam, are you?"

He said the atmosphere between the two of them was off!

Hua Gengchen was immediately furious upon seeing this message: I'm going to find Bai Ze! It has nothing to do with Su Bai!

Seeing the deliberately added exclamation mark, Hua Jueming nodded knowingly. It was indeed because of the madam!

Clicking the share file button, Hua Jueming sent all the materials he had compiled to Hua Gengchen: Master, study these when you have time; they will help you communicate better with your wife.

Hua Gengchen stared at the anonymous document for a long time, finally landing on the words "beneficial for good communication with Madam." As if possessed, Hua Gengchen clicked on the document.

With a humble attitude, Hua Gengchen began reading earnestly, but after a short while, he immediately threw his phone away!

What are all these things?!

What does it mean to do well before sex? What does it mean to pay attention to the following during sex? What does it mean to find a suitable partner to promote harmony in sex? What does it mean to carefully manage the following after sex?

Hua Gengchen felt the irritability that had been suppressed in his body surge even more intensely, and his body temperature gradually began to rise.

Hua Gengchen dived several hundred meters deeper, letting the frost freeze his body bit by bit, until he became a very imposing dragon-shaped ice sculpture.

----

In the end, Hua Jueming and the family servants cleaned the entire house thoroughly, leaving no corner untouched! The whole house was so clean and tidy that it looked like it had just come off the factory.

Su Bai stepped onto the floor, which was so clean it could be used as a mirror, and felt a little guilty. He had just said it casually, but he didn't expect Hua Jueming to take it so seriously.

Feeling extremely sorry for them, Su Bai silently said "I'm sorry" several times in his heart!

He will never say such things again. He will definitely find some other excuse to make them make such a big fuss. He is really embarrassed!

However, Su Bai is currently stumped by the system's energy.

He reviewed the system introduction and usage instructions again, but he didn't even see the words "system energy," let alone understand it. Furthermore, Su Bai discovered that the system, which used to respond to his thoughts, would automatically crash when encountering problems related to system energy. However, it worked perfectly fine when searching for information on how to plant cabbage or the correct way to use a hoe. Su Bai tried this many times, and it was the same every time.

It's incredibly bizarre!

Su Bai became highly vigilant about this.

Since he obtained the system, Su Bai would say he trusted it 100%, but he trusted it at least 80%. However, after he couldn't find any information about the system's energy, Su Bai began to suspect that the system might have some kind of access he didn't know about.

And that access is still under someone else's control!

Su Bai didn't want to live under someone else's control, so his trust in the system dropped to 60%. Before completing the first and second initial tasks, he didn't plan to continue using the hoe conjured by the system to till the land.

"Madam," just as she thought this, Hua Jueming came to Su Bai's side with a wooden box and called him softly, "The Li family has sent over an apology gift, saying they are very sorry for implicating you."

"An apology?" Su Bai snapped out of his thoughts, the system screen immediately disappearing from his sight. He turned to look at the wooden box in Hua Jueming's hand, a question on his face. "An apology from the Li family?"

These individual characters are quite simple, but why do they seem so difficult to understand when put together?

He and Li Chengtian were both framed, so there was no question of either of them apologizing to the other. What was the purpose of the Li family's whole scheme?

Does this mean that all victims should feel sorry for each other?

It feels really weird!

"It's an apology. The Li family steward delivered it personally, saying it was the Li family head's idea... a special instruction." Hua Jueming felt that this Li family head was ill-intentioned, just like Wang Ming, both were villains trying to steal his master's girlfriend!

But this was a gift for Su Bai, and he had no right to dispose of it. Otherwise, he would have burned it to ashes long ago to avoid seeing or hearing about it.

In his previous life, Su Bai didn't know much about Li Chengtian either. He was puzzled by Li Chengtian's act of sending him an apology gift. He really couldn't understand it. "Let me see what it is before I say anything."

Hua Jueming handed the box over, and Su Bai carefully opened it. After seeing what was inside, she immediately closed the box. "I can't accept this!"

It wasn't Li Chengtian who framed him; to be more precise, Li Chengtian was implicated by him. Yet now Li Chengtian has sent him a whole box of gold. Although it's much less than the large box Hua Gengchen sent, it still looks to be about ten pounds.

When did word get out that he liked gold? Even Li Chengtian, the head of a top-tier wealthy family, knew about it!

Upon hearing this, Hua Jueming immediately smiled and said, "I'll return it right away." It's good that Su Bai doesn't accept it; that scoundrel who wanted to steal his master's wife won't have a chance to get close to her.

Su Bai had no objection to Hua Jue Ming's actions.

It was already unreasonable for Li Chengtian to send him an apology gift, especially such a generous gift that suited his tastes. Su Bai couldn't help but think twice.

“Butler Hua,” Su Bai called out to Hua Jueming, “when you send the things back, please also send an apology gift to Patriarch Li and tell him that you are sorry for causing him trouble.”

Li Chengtian is a figure standing at the pinnacle of power, completely different from Su Bai's desire to lower his profile; therefore, they are not on the same path. In any case, it's impossible for Su Chengjun to collaborate with Li Chengtian again now. Although Su Bai is unwilling to admit it, through a series of unforeseen circumstances, the outcome has indeed been as he wished.

Just when Hua Jueming thought Su Bai had changed his mind and was reluctant to part with such a small box of gold, and was even about to reveal that his master had a lot of gold to increase their competitiveness, Su Bai's words made Hua Jueming's heart, which had been raised, settle back down.

"Yes, Madam, I will definitely take care of it!" He will prepare an apology that is absolutely flawless and will personally deliver it to the Li family.

After watching Hua Jueming leave, Su Bai had someone brew him a cup of ginseng tea.

He released all his pent-up emotions last night and felt incredibly weak; he needed to replenish himself quickly!

Not long after Hua Jueming left, Su Bai's phone rang. Wang Ming, whom Hua Jueming had identified as someone who would steal his master's girlfriend, was quite surprised that Su Bai hadn't gone to the greenhouse that day and sent a message to inquire about it.

Wang Ming: Su Bai, why didn't you come to the greenhouse today? Are you sick?

Su Bai: No, I drank too much at the banquet last night, so I don't really feel like moving around today.

Su Bai was too embarrassed to admit that he had been tricked, almost lost his virginity, and masturbated in front of Hua Gengchen, so he used the most common excuse.

Wang Ming: Are you alright? Have you had the hangover soup?

Wang Ming was as meticulous as he had been in his previous life, which made Su Bai feel very close to him: He had already drunk the wine, and there was nothing serious. He would go to the greenhouse tomorrow.

Wang Ming: That's good! I've almost got the online store sorted out, and the pre-launch activities are also in the planning stages. I expect to complete them by early September.

Su Bai: Okay.

Su Bai had a lot of faith in Wang Ming's efficiency. After calculating the time allotted for the pre-event promotion, she figured it would be feasible to pick some fast-growing bok choy as a pre-event product, though the quantity wouldn't be too large.

Su Bai: We can pick some bok choy for the pre-event activities, but lettuce can only be picked in mid-September.

Wang Ming: We'll discuss the specific quantity tomorrow.

Su Bai: No problem.

After Su Bai replied to the message, the chat interface with Wang Ming kept showing the "typing" message. Su Bai waited for a while, but Wang Ming did not send a message. Feeling a little strange, Su Bai typed: Is there anything else you want to say?

Wang Ming isn't one to keep a secret! Otherwise, they wouldn't have had a falling out in their previous life. It was because Wang Ming spoke frankly to him and said bad things about Su Yangxia that Su Bai lost his heart to him.

After waiting a while, Wang Ming sent a message: My senior brother knows you want to invest in him and wants to meet with you... He'll decide on the location.

Su Bai thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a small matter: No problem! When?

Wang Ming was slightly surprised when he saw the message Su Bai sent. She agreed too quickly, didn't she?

He typed out, word by word: It's not confirmed yet. My senior asked me to ask you first.

Su Bai: Then please tell Fu Fei that I agree to meet, and he can decide the time and place.

Wang Ming was shocked and quickly replied: Okay, okay.

After chatting with Su Bai, Wang Ming immediately opened the chat box with Fu Fei, confirmed the time, and sent it to Su Bai: "Tomorrow at 5:30 pm, meet me at Yandu Dry Pot at the back gate of B University."

Su Bai: OK.
