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

After finishing the second pre-event activities, Su Bai still didn't have time to sigh, because he had to quickly buy the seeds online and then check the planting methods for these five vegetables.

While learning the planting methods provided by the system, Su Bai also had to prepare the land. Although he had previously turned the land over with a tiller, the large clumps of soil were not suitable for growing vegetables. He needed to break the clumps into smaller ones, and he also needed to pay attention to the soil moisture during the seedling stage to ensure the survival rate of the seedlings after transplanting.

Because the system seemed to give them plenty of time, but this time the task included white radishes with a growth period of 120 days, it meant they only had one chance and couldn't do it again. So Su Bai was even more cautious than with the initial task.

After finishing the two pre-event activities, Su Bai decided to sell only 150 jin of vegetables online each day, not 150 jin of each type, but all of them together totaling 150 jin.

It wasn't because things are rare that they are valuable, but rather because he only had so many bok choy and lettuce plants. In order to keep customers from forgetting about them and to extend the sales period, and also to give the seedlings that were transplanted later more time to grow, this was a necessary measure.

Su Bai had calculated that if he only sold 150 jin of bok choy and lettuce each day, the sales period could be extended to half a month later. And with 150 jin a day, he and Wang Ming could handle it very well. Su Bai could also take time to cultivate seedlings and prepare the land to start the next stage of the task.

Su Bai was so busy every day that he forgot about researching Shennong. It wasn't until he had sown all the seedlings and was waiting for them to sprout that he remembered he had such an important task to do.

The more black crystals he removed from human bodies, the colder Hua Gengchen's expression became. The demons were moving so fast! He had already removed nearly ten thousand black crystals in the past few days, and there were still many more in the human population that he hadn't removed.

Hua Gengchen worked alone for two or three days before bringing Hua Jueming and the brown bear spirit along to help, even though it was only at night.

"Has there been no progress in Bai Ze's research?" Hua Gengchen's hands didn't stop; he was still removing the black crystals from the human's body, but his movements were anything but gentle.

Hua Jueming distributed all the branches that could be dispersed, sending each human parasitized by the black energy to Hua Gengchen for him to remove. "Before setting off tonight, I asked Bai Ze, and he said this matter is somewhat troublesome and will take some time."

"Tsk." Hua Gengchen was clearly dissatisfied with the answer, but he also knew that it would be very difficult for Bai Ze to figure it out in a short time. Having repeated the action of removing the black energy tens of thousands of times, Hua Gengchen was already very impatient. "Has the list of people to parasitize the black crystals in the human body been finalized?"

Being constantly passive is something Hua Gengchen cannot accept.

He was born into a warrior race and mostly took the initiative to attack. Hua Gengchen rarely encountered situations like this where he was forced to retaliate and could not maintain the status quo, but each time it was brought by the demon race.

"Most of them have been confirmed, but a small number are still hidden quite deeply and will take some time," Hua Jueming replied actively. Before Bai Ze develops a way to prevent humans from falling victim again, solving the source problem is currently the best approach, but it will be of no use if the problem cannot be eradicated completely.

Hua Gengchen frowned and said coldly, "Tell them to hurry up!" He hadn't seen or spoken to Su Bai for several days. Hua Gengchen didn't know if Su Bai had given up the idea of ​​divorcing him. But regardless of whether Su Bai had given up or not, Hua Gengchen felt that he would go crazy sooner or later if they continued to be unable to see each other.

At that time, he didn't know what he would do.

Because in the past ten thousand years, Su Bai is the only human who has been able to stir his emotions.

“I’ve already given the instructions,” Hua Jueming said. “My subordinates have also assured me that the final list will be delivered by tomorrow at the latest.”

"That's good!" Hua Gengchen couldn't wait to wipe out all the demons who were attacking humans. He was really eager to meet Su Bai.

These past few days, he's been busy with his hands and his mind, thinking about both the Demon Clan and Su Bai. After much deliberation, he still doesn't want to divorce Su Bai. Hua Gengchen wants to emphasize this to Su Bai again, hoping that Su Bai can change her mind.

Wouldn't it be better if they just continued living together like this?

Once the matter in the demon realm is resolved, he can postpone his slumber and grow old with Su Bai. When Su Bai's life comes to an end, he can then go into slumber. Wouldn't it be better for them to stay together like this until they grow old?

Hua Gengchen thought it was very good, but he was unsure of Su Bai's thoughts.

The next day, after Hua Gengchen and his team finished their work and returned home to rest, Hua Jueming received a detailed list from his subordinates. Without delay, Hua Jueming immediately delivered it to Hua Gengchen.

Hua Gengchen glanced at it and his brows furrowed slightly, his expression turning colder. "So many demons are lurking in the human realm?"

"I'm afraid no one could have imagined this." Hua Jueming gasped when he received the list, which contained around three thousand names. "Master, what should we do now?"

It's not a good thing that so many demons are hiding in the human realm. The demons have always been ambitious, both towards the demon realm and the human realm.

The further he flipped through the list, the more solemn Hua Gengchen's expression became. The further down the list went, the higher the person's status. He recognized one or two of them; they were quite famous in the human world. If he were to harm them, it might cause panic.

"Go find Bai Ze and ask him to take my place for a day. I'll go find the Four Divine Beasts." Hua Gengchen pondered for a moment and finally decided to ask the Four Divine Beasts for their opinions.

Although he is a human's faith, he has no right to make judgments on humanity arbitrarily. It would be better to inform the Four Divine Beasts and let them contact the human rulers to ask for their opinions.

Unlike him, the four divine beasts protected the human realm with their bodies as a barrier. They were demons recognized by the human rulers as absolutely on the side of humanity, and the human rulers would definitely listen to their words.

"Yes, Master." Hua Jueming nodded in response. When he looked up again, Hua Gengchen and the list had already disappeared.

Hua Jueming left the room, closed the door, and went to find the brown bear spirit. Then he knocked on Bai Ze's door.

After leaving his home, Hua Gengchen headed straight east. The four divine beasts each guarded one of the four directions—east, west, south, and north—and his first destination was the Azure Dragon, one of the four divine beasts.

They were all dragons, so it was easier for them to talk to each other.

The Azure Dragon has always protected humanity, and recently it has indeed discovered some clues. Hua Gengchen's arrival has finally answered its questions.

"I will contact the human rulers immediately. What do you plan to do?" Because he had been protecting humans as a shield for a long time, the Azure Dragon's body had aged, and his voice sounded like that of an old man in his twilight years.

Hua Gengchen said directly, "Kill them all!" These people are no longer truly human; they have been assimilated by the demons and can be considered half-demons. Hua Gengchen has never shown mercy to demons.

Upon hearing Hua Gengchen's words, Canglong paused for a moment, hesitated for a moment, sighed, and then looked into Hua Gengchen's eyes with a determined expression, "Let's do it this way! Do we need human help?"

"No need." Even if humans have firearms, they are of little use against demons. If we are soft-hearted because they are our comrades and alert them, that would be very bad for the situation. "I can manage on my own."

"When do you plan to make your move?" Canglong asked.

"Tonight." The sooner this matter is dealt with, the better. Hua Gengchen really didn't want to drag it out any longer. How could he, alone, remove the black crystals against the simultaneous creation of thousands of people? He would get tired too, you know.

Canglong was taken aback upon hearing this, but he quickly came to his senses. Hua Gengchen was just that kind of person, and he should have gotten used to it by now, shouldn't he?

"Okay, I will discuss with the humans and try to minimize the negative public opinion."

"Thank you." Hua Gengchen was about to leave after finishing his business, but when he saw Canglong's hunched back, which he couldn't straighten up, Hua Gengchen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "We have found the descendant of Shennong. He can also grow vegetables containing spiritual energy, although the spiritual energy content is very low."

Canglong suddenly opened his droopy eyelids, revealing a pair of eyes that gleamed with a sharp light. "R-really?"

Hua Gengchen nodded. "Once this matter is resolved, I will arrange for someone to send you some vegetables containing spiritual energy." Although the spiritual energy content is very low, it's better than nothing.

For the four divine beasts who have stood as a barrier to humanity for thousands of years, the vegetables imbued with spiritual energy that Su Bai grows are not just vegetables; Su Bai is also a hope.

There is hope that both the demon realm and the human realm can be saved!

"Good! Good! Good!" The Azure Dragon wept with joy. They had waited for over a thousand years, almost to the point of despair, but unexpectedly, they saw hope even on the verge of despair. "I thank you on their behalf!" Vegetables containing spiritual energy! They hadn't eaten them in a long time.

Humans knew that spiritual energy was useful to them, and they even set up a special research team to study how to grow vegetables containing spiritual energy. However, spiritual energy was scarce in the human world, and humans made little progress after many years of research, which also led to many jokes. Canglong and his companions usually treated it as a way to relax in their boring lives.

"It's only right." Hua Gengchen himself had no shortage of faith and merit, so he often couldn't empathize with them. He could only see the feelings of the people of the demon realm.

From the people of the demon realm, he knew that the demon realm's ley lines were damaged, and the human realm's spiritual energy was so scarce that it was not suitable for their survival. That despair and uncertainty about the future made him feel distressed. He wanted to change this situation and also wanted to see smiles bloom on the faces of the people of the demon realm again.

Only when the demon realm is at peace can the human realm be at peace. Only when both realms are at peace can Hua Gengchen finally unload the burden that has been weighing on his shoulders and truly be himself again.

Since Hua Gengchen was born, he has rarely had time to live for himself; he has always carried the expectations of others.

Over time, Hua Gengchen also grew tired of it, but no one could replace him. Hua Gengchen could only carry everyone's expectations and move forward. In the long run, Hua Gengchen got used to being alone.

Su Bai's appearance was an unexpected surprise, completely unexpected by Hua Gengchen.
