She became a god

It's midsummer, and cicadas are chirping outside the window.

Occasionally a gentle breeze blows by, dispelling the sultry heat of the summer night.

However, it could not dispel the vexation in Ye Qingzhou's heart.

When the cicadas chirped for the 999th time outside the window, she heard Feng Lei's reply, "Yes."

Ye Qingzhou couldn't quite describe his feelings at that moment, as if he had a premonition and was just waiting for everything to settle down.

It seemed to be a mixture of disappointment and anger.

Why would my best friend have those kinds of thoughts about me?

She lowered her eyes, her expression unreadable, and suddenly asked, "From when?"

Could it be that she saved her in the Evil Emperor's Treasure, and she was so grateful that she mistook it for love?

Feng Hui said loudly, "That day, you said, 'Ah Hui, don't be angry (╬◣w◢), when I become the ruler of the six realms, I will make the world respect my demon realm, there will be no more demon hunters in the six realms, and all women will never be bound by sexual relationships.' From that moment on, I inevitably developed feelings of love for you."

"You know, you were so beautiful when you were so ambitious. I think that was a scene I will never forget in my life."

Ye Qingzhou didn't rush to deny Feng Ying, but simply said, "Thank you for loving me."

Feng Rui shook her head, "I don't want your thanks, I want your love!"

"If what you're looking for is sexual love, then I can tell you definitively that I don't possess sexual love, and you've come to the wrong person."

"Just because it's not there today doesn't mean it won't be there tomorrow."

Ye Qingzhou remained silent. She never liked to make absolute statements; she preferred to leave herself a way out for the future.

After a long silence, Feng Rui gave a bitter smile, "I'll announce the cancellation of the engagement right now..."

"No way! So many fellow cultivators have been notified of the engagement banquet, how can we just cancel it like that?"

Ye Qingzhou still wanted to use the engagement banquet to make a big move. The game had already been set up, so how could he rashly disrupt the plan?

Feng Hui's worry turned to joy, and she couldn't help but remind her, "If we hold an engagement banquet, we must become Daoist partners no later than a thousand years from now."

According to the customs of the demon realm, couples who are engaged for a thousand years must get married.

"Ye Qingzhou, if you don't break off the engagement for a thousand years, and then refuse to marry me, I will truly lose all face."

Ye Qingzhou said calmly, "No. If I don't break off the engagement, we will get married a thousand years from now."

Feng Rui hesitated, "You...do you know what you're saying?"

"I know!"

A thousand years is neither long nor short, but there are definitely many variables in it.

If a thousand years is not enough for Feng Hui to fall in love with someone else, nor for her to develop a dislike for Feng Hui, then it might be worth getting married.

Although Ye Qingzhou hated getting married, it didn't seem so bad if the person she was marrying was Feng Ai.

Perhaps it was because Feng E appeared in her life too early and they spent too much time together that she felt it wouldn't be a bad thing to spend her life with Feng E in a closer relationship.

When Ye Qingzhou snapped out of his thoughts, he noticed that Feng Xiu's eyes were sparkling, even brighter than the morning star in the sky.

Her perfunctory agreement seemed to greatly excite her.

This is too strange!

It always feels a little weird.

"Zhouzhou, a thousand years from now, if we get married, can we form a yin-yang love pact?"

Ye Qingzhou was taken aback, and the strange feeling in his heart intensified.

Isn't it necessary?

Throughout history, countless Daoist couples have formed contracts on the Yunying Continent every year, but at most, only ten couples have formed Yin-Yang Mandarin Duck Contracts.

Is that a Yin-Yang Mandarin Duck Pact?

Both parties to the contract must be at least at the Refinement stage. Once the contract is formed, they will share both good and bad fortune and their cultivation levels.

Companions are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.

Sincerity is ever-changing, and the lifespan of cultivators is so long, who can guarantee that they will be bound tightly to another cultivator for their entire life?

At least Ye Qingzhou couldn't quite understand that kind of intense, burning love; she didn't really like that kind of intimate relationship where blood and bones were intertwined to the extreme.

Perhaps it would bring her a lot of sweetness and happiness, but it certainly wouldn't include freedom.

So-called intimate relationships are built on the basis of encroaching on an individual's private space.

The closer the relationship, the less free you are.

Unfortunately, what she loved most in her life was freedom and life itself.

Therefore, Ye Qingzhou said calmly, "One thing at a time, I will not consider the Yin-Yang Mandarin Duck Contract for the time being."

Feng Hui said sullenly, "Fine."

After a short while, Feng Hui asked, "Are we really going to the Lotus Secret Realm?"

"Hmm. Our demon realm's secret realm is so close; if we don't go, what's the difference between that and wasting a precious resource?"

Ye Qingzhou laughed and said, "Not only you and I are going, but all qualified cultivators from the Demon Realm should go. Around the Lotus Secret Realm, we need to find ways to do business and make money from cultivators from the Six Realms. We've got a chance to make money, so we must take advantage of it."

Feng Hui chuckled, "You wouldn't be doing business with our engagement party, would you?"

Ye Qingzhou raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Why not? The demon realm hasn't had such a grand celebration in a long time. Our engagement banquet will definitely be the talk of the town. The banquet will cost a fortune. If we can earn some of it back, it's better than just sitting around and eating our savings!"

Feng Wei didn't hesitate and immediately worked with Ye Qingzhou to refine and improve the nearly century-old business plan.

Who would be afraid of having too much money?

Money can't buy everything, but it can buy most things.

Even if they don't need it, their subordinates and people will.

As the royal family of a clan, they have an obligation to seek the well-being of their people; this is the way of a ruler!

A month later, several cities around the Lotus Secret Realm opened Lotus Pavilions and launched "Lotus Tour" group activities.

Whether you want to join a tour to explore the Lotus Secret Realm and discover rare and precious materials, or you want to experience the rich history and culture of the Lotus Secret Realm from the outside, the Lotus Pavilion can meet the needs of every customer.

Actually, these activities have happened before, but they were all scattered and small-scale, and did not form a system at all.

Now that it's all been put together, the event has attracted a large number of orders from monks as soon as it was launched.

The Lotus Pavilion has set up different branches according to the origin of its clients, with cultivators from the six realms each staying in a separate area to avoid unnecessary disputes due to differences in customs and habits.

In the Human Realm Pavilion area, a singer sang:

"Mirror Lake stretches for three hundred miles, where lotus blossoms bloom."

In May, Xi Shi was picking flowers, and people crowded Ruoye to watch.

"I will return by boat before the moon rises, and go back to the King of Yue's palace."

Xuanyuan Yi exclaimed, "The Lotus Pavilion is bound to be a hit! The waiters in this human realm section are all human, and the utensils they use have both the characteristics of the demon race and are within the acceptable range for humans. I wonder who came up with this idea, they have such remarkable business acumen."

"If he's just an ordinary demon cultivator, perhaps I could try to poach him with a large sum of money?"

After a short while, Xuanyuan sighed and said, "If the male members of my clan were half as good as this demon, why would I need to be thinking of poaching their young talents in the demon realm?"
