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

After taking a nap, Su Bai felt much better and received a message from Fu Fei saying that he had heard about the shop from Wang Ming, but he couldn't make a decision on his own and had decided to discuss it with the others in the company before informing Su Bai.

Su Bai expressed respect for Fu Fei and his group's ideas, but still sent Fu Fei the shop's address, hoping they could review it before making a decision.

After sending the message, Su Bai got out of bed, stretched, and then decided to go downstairs to find some substances to replenish his system's energy. He was about to start selling his first batch of bok choy and lettuce online, so he decided to deal with what he could first.

Once downstairs, Su Bai sat in the same spot as in the morning and had the system perform another check.

No substances were detected that help restore system energy.

"As expected?" Su Bai murmured; the test result was within his prediction. But just to be on the safe side, Su Bai still called Hua Jueming over. "Are there any changes to the items placed around here compared to this morning?"

Hua Jueming didn't understand the meaning behind Su Bai's question, "Is Madam looking for something?"

"No, no, no," Su Bai waved his hands repeatedly, clearly aware that Hua Jueming had misunderstood him. To avoid causing a sensation like the previous 'spider' incident, Su Bai immediately changed the subject, "I just suddenly had a thought to ask, has the layout of the house always been the same without any changes?"

“Yes,” Hua Jueming replied, “The furnishings are basically unchanged. If one is damaged, we will buy an identical one.” They are monsters with long lifespans and often prefer things that remain the same, because change represents the unknown, and the unknown is something that is difficult to control.

Su Bai hadn't expected Hua Gengchen to have obsessive-compulsive disorder! Many of these ornaments were antiques, and if one was damaged, it would be difficult to find a replacement. It seemed he would have to be more careful when walking around the house in the future, because he couldn't afford to pay for the damage if he broke one.

According to Hua Jueming, there's a high probability that the black crystal in Bai Ze's possession is the substance the system needs, but confirmation is still needed to be certain. So Su Bai immediately asked, "Where did Mr. Bai Ze go?"

"Bai Ze and Master went out to handle some matters, and they didn't say when they would be back." Hua Jueming knew that Hua Gengchen had taken Bai Ze to find a divine medicine to stimulate bloodlines, but he couldn't tell Su Bai about it.

Su Bai was immediately disappointed. If he couldn't see Bai Ze, where could he find out if the black crystal was the substance the system needed?

"Then please let me know when Mr. Bai Ze returns." It's getting late, and Su Bai still needs to prepare for his conversation with Hua Gengchen tonight, so he really can't stay in the living room waiting.

"Yes, Madam!" Hua Jueming didn't even ask Su Bai what she wanted to see Bai Ze for. Anyway, Hua Gengchen was at home, so even if Bai Ze wanted to cause trouble, he couldn't do much.

After returning to his room on the second floor, Su Bai turned on his computer and consulted a law firm online. About an hour later, he received the documents they sent him. After confirming that everything was correct, Su Bai printed them out, organized them, put them in a document bag, and waited for Hua Gengchen to return.

Hua Gengchen hadn't returned by 7 p.m., so Su Bai ate dinner alone and sat in the living room watching TV while waiting for Hua Gengchen.

Just as Su Bai was getting a little drowsy from waiting, suddenly, the sound of a car came from outside the gate. Su Bai immediately jumped up from the sofa, ran to the gate, and stared at the car that drove in without blinking.

A moment later, the car stopped at the door. Su Bai's face showed excitement, and her bright eyes were particularly attractive against the backdrop of the night. When Hua Gengchen, who had just gotten out of the car, saw her, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Their eyes inevitably met, and the atmosphere began to feel a little awkward.

"Little Su Bai, is there any dinner left? I'm starving." The somewhat ambiguous atmosphere was abruptly cut short by Bai Ze's words. Su Bai and Hua Gengchen both felt slightly awkward and turned their heads away to avoid each other's gazes. "Yes, I'll go call Butler Hua." With that, Su Bai hurriedly fled the scene.

After Su Bai's figure disappeared through the doorway, Hua Gengchen turned and gave Bai Ze a cold look. Bai Ze shivered from the stare, but stubbornly stared back. So what if he interrupted? Go ahead and hit him if you dare!

Although a monster won't die from missing a meal, he hadn't eaten or drunk a single grain of rice today. He had been running around following Hua Gengchen all day long, covering almost every mountain in the country. This was more exercise than he had done in several months. What's wrong with him taking a little revenge?

"This is a one-time exception." After staring at Bai Ze for a while, Hua Gengchen suddenly relented, his imposing aura subsided, and he turned to walk into the house. Considering he had obtained two doses of divine medicine today, he decided not to hold a grudge against Bai Ze.

After all, Bai Ze still needs to find the location of the Jiaolong Clan.

Bai Ze stared blankly as Hua Gengchen's figure disappeared before his eyes, unable to come to his senses for a long time. Had he seen a ghost today?!

Hua Gengchen didn't even bother with him! Did he have a change of heart?

No, no, no! Bai Ze shook his head frantically. Did Hua Gengchen have a conscience? He clearly had a black heart! There must be a conspiracy involved!

Bai Ze cautiously approached the door, taking one step at a time, afraid of falling into Hua Gengchen's trap. Things were moving quickly in the kitchen, and they were all preparing to eat when Hua Jueming suddenly realized Bai Ze hadn't arrived yet, so he immediately went to look for him at the door.

Upon arriving at the door, Hua Jueming noticed Bai Ze looking like a thief. He sighed softly, walked over, and said, "Mr. Bai Ze, dinner is ready."

Bai Ze immediately put his index finger to his lips, "Shh!" Then he carefully looked behind Hua Jueming and, not seeing Hua Gengchen, breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Hua Jueming, "Your master is trying to harm me!"

Three huge question marks immediately appeared above Hua Jueming's head. He turned to look in the direction of the restaurant. His master seemed to be in a good mood and didn't look like he was about to fight someone!

Bai Ze, on the other hand... was acting suspiciously, looking like he had a guilty conscience. Based on past experience, Hua Jueming felt that Bai Ze was more likely to have brought this upon himself!

"Mr. Bai Ze, you say my master wants to harm you, what evidence do you have?" As a competent steward, Hua Jueming would not allow outsiders to slander his master's reputation.

Bai Ze was speechless. He had no idea Hua Gengchen was so petty! All he did was interrupt his eye contact with Su Bai. It wasn't a big deal!

Hua Jueming knew from Bai Ze's expression that it was definitely Bai Ze's fault, so he waited more patiently, without showing any anxiety on his face.

Bai Ze thought for a moment. He needed Hua Jueming to confirm whether Hua Gengchen was angry or not, so he told the truth about what had just happened. "...Your master is so devoid of demonic nature. He hasn't fed me all day. You can't order people around like this. I was just taking a little revenge. Who knew your master would be so petty and try to harm me!"

Bai Ze felt wronged. If he could beat Hua Gengchen, he would definitely have a good fight with Hua Gengchen.

After hearing Bai Ze's words, Hua Jueming had only one thought—serves him right!

He had never seen a demon as suicidal as Bai Ze, who constantly tested his master's limits. Not to brag, but the fact that Bai Ze was still alive was enough to prove that his master was magnanimous and not the petty demon Bai Ze described.

"So, you were afraid my master would frame you, and that it took you more than ten minutes to move from the car to the door?" At that speed, even a tortoise or snail could easily outrun Bai Ze. After all, the distance from the car to the door is only three or four meters.

Bai Ze nodded emphatically, "I have to be extra careful!" As the old saying goes, "Better safe than sorry," and he'd be safer if he went slower.

Hua Gengchen is a heartless bastard; he has endless ways of harming people. You can never be too careful!

Hua Jueming frowned, three black lines appearing on his forehead. He helplessly reminded her, "Madam is still here. Master won't do anything to you." Even if he were to do something, he would wait until Madam couldn't see him anymore. After all, maintaining an image in front of Madam was very important.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze paused, his slightly bent back straightening instantly. He looked at Hua Jueming with admiration, "Little Jueming, you're so smart!" How could he not have thought of something so important?

Judging from Hua Gengchen's expression, Su Bai must hold a very important place in his heart. Hua Gengchen definitely wouldn't make a move in front of Su Bai.

Thinking this, Bai Ze's guilty look vanished instantly, replaced by righteous indignation and smugness. He had found a 'living get-out-of-jail-free card,' and he'd see if Hua Gengchen would dare to scheme against him again.

Hua Jueming saw Bai Ze's eyes growing brighter and brighter, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

But before he could grab it, Bai Ze strode off toward the restaurant, his back view radiating an atmosphere of 'joy'.

When Bai Ze arrived at the restaurant, his smile was so dazzling that it would blind anyone who saw it. Su Bai thought that Bai Ze had encountered something good to make him smile so happily, but Hua Gengchen knew very well that it wasn't.

The questioning gaze fell on Hua Jueming, who was a step behind Bai Ze, but in front of Su Bai, Hua Jueming couldn't say anything. He could only signal to Hua Gengchen with his eyes that Bai Ze might have had another attack!

Hua Gengchen didn't take Hua Jueming's look to heart. After all, Bai Ze would have many episodes of illness throughout the year, so he was already used to it.

As soon as Bai Ze sat down, the kitchen announced that dinner was ready, and Hua Gengchen immediately ordered the dishes to be served. Once the dishes were on the table, Bai Ze, without a second thought, began to fawn over Su Bai, serving him food – this was his lifeline!

You must be served well.

Su Bai, who was eager to discuss serious matters with Hua Gengchen before sitting down at the dining table, was confused by Bai Ze's actions. He had already eaten!

“Mr. Bai Ze, I have already eaten,” Su Bai said with a smile, refusing.

"Really?" Bai Ze paused in his hand, which was picking up food, but the food on his chopsticks still landed in Su Bai's bowl. "It's okay, there's still a long time until dawn, it won't hurt to eat a little more!"

"I..." Su Bai didn't know how to refuse; he really couldn't eat anymore.

Upon seeing this, Hua Gengchen immediately gave Bai Ze a cold look. Bai Ze saw it but didn't care. He had found a life-saving charm now and wasn't afraid of Hua Gengchen!
