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

Before even returning to the Hua family home, Hua Gengchen told Hua Jueming about their plan to take action against the people on the list that night, instructing him to gather all available manpower. He didn't want them to fight, but rather to help block off all escape routes and isolate the area to prevent it from being seen by humans.

Humans in the new century no longer believe that fairies exist in this world. They believe that fairies only exist in myths and legends. Hua Gengchen thinks this is a good thing, because the human world and the fairy world should not have so much interaction in the first place.

Back at the Hua family home, Hua Jueming had already organized the manpower. Hua Gengchen reviewed all the personnel, leaving four people to guard the house and sending eight more to protect Su Bai. The rest were the people he planned to take with him.

"Your mission is to protect Su Bai! If even a single hair on Su Bai's head is harmed..." Hua Gengchen glanced at them indifferently, and the eight men shivered in unison, feeling as if their blood had frozen in that instant.

"We swear to protect the Demon Queen with our lives!" the eight people said in unison.

Hua Gengchen chose the most powerful of these fairies to protect Su Bai. Although he was only going for one night, Su Bai was too prone to accidents, so Hua Gengchen had to be careful.

With everything arranged and all that was needed, Hua Gengchen turned his attention to his phone.

He was waiting for news from Canglong.

After waiting for about half an hour, Canglong finally sent a message: "We can take action, but we absolutely cannot expose the existence of fairies and demons and cause panic. This is humanity's bottom line. After this matter is resolved, humanity will handle the follow-up issues properly."

"Hmm." Hua Gengchen replied to Canglong, then put his phone away. He hadn't planned to deal with the follow-up issues anyway, and the fact that the humans offered to solve it themselves was exactly what he wanted.

Hua Gengchen led the fairies, who were already fully prepared, on their journey. At that moment, the sun had just begun to set.

Hua Gengchen decided to start by targeting the highest-ranking individuals. If the higher-ups accidentally obtained information while arresting the lower-ranking henchmen, these high-ranking individuals could use various methods to escape, which Hua Gengchen absolutely could not tolerate. Therefore, he had to prevent this from the very beginning.

The first person Hua Gengchen wanted to arrest was the Party Secretary of a certain district in Beicheng. Although he rarely took action, his influence was unmatched by others. Because of his work, he came into contact with many company owners, and those he selected were mostly people who were beneficial to human development.

The Party Secretary was on his way home from get off work at the time. When Hua Gengchen and his men found him, the Party Secretary was almost home. Hua Gengchen immediately ordered, "Set up a protective barrier."

"Yes." Hua Jueming immediately organized people to go there.

The secretary was riding his bicycle when he almost collided with someone while turning after passing a traffic light. After confirming that no one was hurt, he apologized and then got back on his bicycle and left.

Having nearly hit someone, the secretary was extra cautious, feeling that something was about to happen. After riding forward for a minute or two, the secretary noticed something was wrong: why did this road seem unusually long today?

He looked around; it was the same familiar scenery, yet something just felt off.

The secretary calmly suppressed his doubts, slowed down his cycling speed, and glanced at his watch. He had been away from his workplace for fifteen minutes. Based on his usual speed, he would reach his child's school in five minutes, and then his residential area in another five minutes.

After resuming the car's speed to normal, the secretary carefully observed the surrounding environment while keeping track of the time. After five minutes, with no sign of the school, the secretary slammed on the brakes and stopped the car, looking around warily.

Suddenly, the familiar scenery on both sides of the street changed, and the vehicles and pedestrians on the road disappeared in an instant. The secretary gripped the car handle tightly with even greater tension. "Who? Who is playing a prank?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Gengchen slowly walked from the void to the secretary's front. The secretary felt a life-threatening crisis the moment Hua Gengchen appeared. He didn't care about anything else and directly bared his fangs and opened his claws to pounce on Hua Gengchen.

Hua Gengchen is a demon who hates monsters the most; he gets annoyed whenever he sees them.

After the secretary entered Hua Gengchen's attack range, Hua Gengchen threw a punch directly at the secretary's head. Before the secretary could even touch a hair on Hua Gengchen's head, he was sent flying dozens of meters before coming to a stop.

"Tsk, bastards are so weak." Hua Gengchen glanced at the secretary whose head had been flattened and said disdainfully. He had made meticulous arrangements, but he didn't expect him to be so easily beaten.

It seems that even if the demons are incredibly powerful, their combat strength will plummet after mating with humans. This is because humans are a race that prefers invention and creation, which is significantly different from the demons, who prefer physical combat. Hua Gengchen still doesn't understand why the demons want to assimilate humans, even though they clearly have little combat power.

Hua Gengchen does not deny the existence of humans with high combat power, but they are a minority. Most humans are ordinary people, and their combat power and physical strength are generally average.

"Hua Jueming, dispose of the secretary's body properly." Since these people weren't very strong, he wouldn't hold back! The killing intent in Hua Gengchen's eyes began to overflow. "Also, send the fairies out in groups of one hundred each. Lure all the people on the list into the barrier and then give me a message." He needed to get rid of these people as quickly as possible to avoid attracting the attention of the person behind the scenes.

The reason Hua Gengchen was so strict with the secretaries was because he was afraid they would retaliate in their final moments. But now that he was certain their retaliation would be futile, Hua Gengchen was completely free of any worries.

"Yes, Master." Hua Jueming nodded in agreement, took out the list, and crossed out the secretary's name. By this time, it was already dark, and most people had embarked on their journeys home or out to parties, making it a good time to search for someone.

After handling the secretary's affairs, Hua Jueming quickly divided the fairies he had brought into groups and assigned them the names on the list. Once the fairies received their tasks, they swiftly set off. Even though it was just helping out with odd jobs while accompanying the Demon Emperor on a mission was something they could boast about for a long time.

After handing the task over to Hua Jueming, Hua Gengchen stood there motionless until someone sent him a message, at which point Hua Gengchen quickly flew to the location indicated in the message.

Upon arriving at the destination, Hua Gengchen quickly resolved the matter in the shortest amount of time before proceeding to the next location.

And so, Hua Gengchen spent the entire night rushing around the country, perhaps one minute he was in the north of the city, and the next minute he was in the east.

When the moon was high in the sky, the last person on the list was also dealt with by Hua Gengchen.

Hua Jueming led his men forward to dispose of the slag, crossed out the last name, and then came to Hua Gengchen. "Master, it's all cleaned up now."

"Not a single one was missed?"

Hua Jueming took out the list, looked it over carefully, and said, "They've all been cleaned up; not a single one has been missed." He would only put an X next to a person's name if he saw a corpse, but now everyone's name on the list had a bright red X next to it.

"Hmm." Hua Gengchen nodded, glanced at the time. Although going back now would allow him to spend some time with Su Bai, it was more likely that he would wake Su Bai up and prevent her from sleeping peacefully. "Let's go deal with the black energy."

The source of the problem has been cleared out, but the issue of the black energy has not been completely resolved. Since he cannot stay with Su Bai properly, he will finish what he is doing before facing Su Bai.

Hua Gengchen would never admit that he didn't want to go home to see Su Bai because he was afraid of hearing words like "divorce" from her mouth again.

Hua Jueming paused for a moment upon hearing this before replying, "Yes." He then turned and organized the fairies to leave.

Following the same approach as before, Hua Jueming divided the fairies into groups, assigning each of them to be responsible for an area. They were tasked with finding and controlling all the humans parasitized by the black energy, and then sending a message to Hua Gengchen to handle the situation.

Fairies without merit cannot remove the black energy, but since the black energy is of the same origin as the demon race and carries a smell that all fairies hate, it is still very easy to find people parasitized by the black energy from among the crowd.

Because there were many demons in the organization this time, Hua Gengchen cleared out two-thirds of the country in half a night, which can be described as a great victory!

However, this only happened once.

At present, it is not suitable for a large number of fairies to appear in the human world, not only because of the risk of exposure, but also to protect humans from being disturbed.

After the Second Demon War, the demon realm was devastated. Every demon longed for a peaceful and prosperous environment. Although the human realm lacked spiritual energy, it was indeed a good place to live. Hua Gengchen could not guarantee that every demon could control themselves well, so he would never allow a large number of demons to appear in the human realm unless necessary.

"Hua Jueming, send them back to the demon realm safely. Everyone who participated in this mission will receive an extra two catties of vegetables." The vegetables Hua Gengchen mentioned were naturally the spiritual vegetables grown by Su Bai. Since the planting volume had not yet increased, the reward was still quite generous. Almost all the demons' eyes lit up significantly when they heard Hua Gengchen say this.

"Thank you so much, Demon King!" The fairies were extremely excited. Those were vegetables containing spiritual energy! And they were planted by the Demon Queen herself!

After Hua Jueming left with the fairy, Hua Gengchen hurried home in the morning light. He hadn't been home for several days and didn't know if Su Bai had changed her mind about the divorce.

When they got home, it wasn't yet time for Su Bai to get up. Hua Gengchen tiptoed to the bedside and looked at Su Bai, who was still fast asleep, with a serious and tender gaze.

Su Bai was exceptionally well-behaved when he slept, like a kitten that hadn't even reached full term. Looking at Su Bai's docile appearance, Hua Gengchen felt his agitated heart, which had been troubled by the black energy, calm down in that instant.

The worry that had arisen from not seeing Su Bai for several days vanished in an instant, and Hua Gengchen couldn't help but touch Su Bai's cheek.

Having suffered two misfortunes in a row, Su Bai's face was much thinner than when he first met her. Hua Gengchen couldn't help but feel heartache in his eyes. He hadn't fulfilled his duties as a husband! But this kind of thing wouldn't happen again. He would definitely protect Su Bai well and make sure she grew up healthy and plump.

Hua Gengchen still couldn't figure out how Su Bai, a human-bipedal who wasn't particularly beautiful, could stir his emotions. Su Bai was just an ordinary human-bipedal, without any difference from other human-bipedal beings.

His slender fingers brushed across Su Bai's eyebrows and eyes, then moved to his straight and delicate nose, and finally landed on the lips that he had tasted. Hua Gengchen's eyes inevitably darkened.

He discovered that the things he had tried so hard to forget were still vividly etched in his mind, as if carved by a knife and axe, something he couldn't simply forget.

Unable to tear his gaze away from Su Bai's lips, Hua Gengchen was captivated by them, and as if possessed, he couldn't control himself and slowly lowered his body, moving closer to Su Bai's lips.

He wanted to taste those lips again...

When their noses touched, Hua Gengchen was jolted awake. He looked at Su Bai, who was sleeping soundly right next to him, and felt her warm breath on his face. Hua Gengchen felt as if a scorching flame had ignited inside him, causing him to immediately jump away and flee the room as if escaping.
