Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Seeing the gazes of the group, Mediterranean smiled ingratiatingly and said, "I just spoke with the leadership, and in addition to the above compensation, we will give each of the siblings an extra Tier 1 Breakthrough Pill."

"A first-tier breakthrough pill? That's more like it."

Hearing about the compensation, Hu Weiwei nodded with slight satisfaction.

Shen Bai was surprised to receive two extra Tier 1 Breakthrough Pills; this was an unexpected delight.

The First-Order Breakthrough Pill may sound like just a first-order pill, but it's more expensive than some high-quality second-order pills because it allows martial artists to bypass the barriers between realms and advance directly within the Acquired Realm.

For example, if Shen Bai is currently at the ninth level of the Acquired Realm, he can directly advance to the tenth level of the Acquired Realm by consuming a Breakthrough Pill.

More importantly, this medicine does not cause erysipelas! It has no side effects whatsoever!

For martial artists, especially high school seniors, it's practically a dream come true!

Even if you can only eat it once at the Acquired Realm.

One of them costs 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.

It doesn't sound particularly expensive.

The problem is, there's a price but no market for it!

Refining this elixir is not difficult for an alchemist at all; the difficulty lies in preparing one of the essential medicinal ingredients. While using ordinary medicinal herbs can achieve the same effect, the toxicity of the elixir would be significantly higher.

Ordinary families simply cannot afford this pill. Every time a first-level breakthrough pill is released, it is instantly snapped up by the powerful and wealthy. Occasionally, some will end up on the market, but their prices will be driven up.

Bai's Pharmaceutical Company offered two Breakthrough Pills, plus the tuition fees and spirit talismans worth at least 20,000 spirit stones, totaling more than 40,000 spirit stones in compensation. Their sincerity was already quite great!

"Young Miss, what do you think?" The man with the Mediterranean hair breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hu Weiwei nod.

"In addition, replace the protective array in Shen Bai's house with a top-tier, second-order one!"

Hu Feier, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. The man with the bald head hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem!"

A set of top-tier second-order protective formations for home use is worth at least five thousand low-grade spirit stones. It can withstand the powerful attacks of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, and even a Golden Core cultivator would have to go through a lot of trouble to break the formation.

The only thing to consider is that maintaining this formation requires consuming spirit stones.

Just like a car in another world, it needs gasoline to start.

Shen Bai was overjoyed. He hadn't said a word and yet he had received so much compensation. He would have to find a way to properly thank the boss and the store manager, these two sisters.

Having settled the compensation, the group decided not to waste any more time. Before leaving, Mediterranean asked for Shen Bai's communication code and left him his business card.

Fang Chunshu, General Manager of Baishi Pharmaceutical.

As for the aftermath of the industrial espionage, Bai's Pharmaceuticals assured that it would not involve the two siblings. They were also seething with anger and wanted to cause trouble for those two!

Hu Weiwei and Hu Feier drove the two siblings home in a luxurious airship. Before parting, Shen Bai thanked them repeatedly, and Shen Wenwen sweetly called out to her sister that she must come to their house to play again.

"I really want to take your little sister home and raise her, she's so cute!"

Hu Weiwei pinched Shen Wenwen's little face and then smiled and said, "Since you've chosen to earn money on your own, the job at the milk tea shop is still reserved for you. Come when you have time, and if you don't have time, you can work as a sparring partner!"

"Being a sparring partner is extremely dangerous and can easily leave you with health problems, so you must be careful! If you really can't handle it, come work for me. I have other businesses, any of which are better than being a sparring partner!"

A warm feeling welled up in Shen Bai's heart. Including this time, he had only met Hu Weiwei three times, but she was really good to him. He had been able to support himself and his sister for the past three years entirely thanks to her care.

Hu Feier, usually so capable, now wore a tender expression as she stroked Shen Wenwen's head and said, "If your brother isn't home, you can come to the shop to play. I'm usually here!"

Shen Wenwen nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, sister, I'll come to play with you often!"

After seeing the two off, the brother and sister turned and went into their room, letting out a sigh of relief.

too tired!

So much happened that night that both siblings were exhausted.

"Are you hungry? I'll cook for you!" After resting for a while, Shen Bai prepared to get up and cook.

"I'm starving!"

Shen Wenwen rubbed her stomach, which felt flat. These people were so busy talking that not a single one of them went out to buy a boxed lunch. Even a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) would have been fine!

The bowl of potato noodles was completely devoured long ago.

Shen Bai turned on the stove, took out the remaining spirit beef from home, and then took out some green vegetables, preparing to stir-fry some green vegetables to eat with it.

Shen Wenwen leaned weakly against the kitchen doorway, watching Shen Bai's busy figure, and suddenly asked, "Shen Bai, with so many young ladies coming over tonight, which one do you like?"

Shen Bai was stunned: "Why do you love gossip so much, you little brat?"

Shen Wenwen immediately perked up: "Tell me quickly! Is it the beautiful and generous school beauty, Sister An Li, or the boss-like Sister Weiwei? Or do you like Sister Fei'er with her uniform style? You don't like either of them? Huh? Do you like Teacher Yang Xiao? Teacher Huang is a bit old, and she's married with children! An Li's mom..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing that Shen Wenwen's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Shen Bai waved a spatula and smacked her on the head: "These people are all just my friends!"

"I understand!"

Shen Wenwen chuckled: "That's what the playboy says. This one's your sister, that one's your older sister, and you're all in a purely platonic relationship. But in reality..."

"Shen Wenwen, go outside and practice your Arhat Fist! You're not allowed to eat until you've practiced it ten times!"

Shen Bai was furious. This little girl always came up with strange ideas if she didn't tidy herself up every day.

Shen Wenwen ran out with a grin, practicing her Arhat Fist with a chuckle, while muttering, "Sister An Li, I feel her age is quite suitable, and her cultivation is also quite good. Shen Bai, are you going to become the school beauty's personal bodyguard? Will you develop feelings for each other over time if you spar together every day?"

Sister Weiwei is definitely a domineering female CEO, but this kind of role seems to be quite popular with guys! Shen Bai, do you want to just give up now?

With Fei'er's capable and efficient demeanor, wouldn't it be perfect for a secretary-like seduction? I know you guys love that kind of vibe!

Teacher Yang Xiao…

Listening to Shen Wenwen's nonsense, Shen Baiqiang suppressed his urge to rush out and beat her up, vowing to burn all the romance novels in her room later.

What kind of nonsense is this!

Even after being single in this other world for so many years, I still don't have as much imagination as her!

Dinner was spent in Shen Wenwen's strange fantasies and Shen Bai's repeated scolding.

Shen Wenwen never guessed which girl Shen Bai actually liked.

This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.

The theft at Bai's Pharmaceutical Company is far more complex than it appears on the surface.

After leaving Shen Bai's house, Hu Weiwei and Hu Feier immediately went to their father's house.
