...

Months of constant dual-cultivation with Hua Shi showed results . Tong’s [Create Food] skill reached level six, which he could create a hundred ton of ingredient by sacrifice only one year of lifespan . In addition, he was still hoarding over 170,000 years of lifespan at the moment .

The food problem in the future was now the least of his worries . All Tong had to do was to pay attention to his lifespan and not to overspend it recklessly .

Tong’s major worry at this moment was not to get Hua Shi pregnant before they got married . They had been dual-cultivating every night, so Tong was afraid that her stomach would bloat at any time if she forgot to take a contraceptive or he left too much of his seeds in her stomach .

...

...

Government Hall .

Today, the Yuan Family caravan came back to Julu with boxes of gold . Feng Ji and Tian Feng did not come along in this trip . They left the task and the letter of instruction to the servants .

In this trip, they requested to buy the spice as many as they could with 300,000 taels of gold, which Tong satisfied them with 1,500 tons of the item .

At this current time, Tong no longer cared about these few tons of random products . With a few snaps of his fingers, all of these spice could be created with his skill .

Spice was an expensive product as the market price was one gold for one kilogram as it was rare in this age . Because of the concession agreement which the Yuan Clan could buy the spice at 20% of the original market price, all gold nuggets that the Yuan Family had brought could buy 1,500 tons of spice .

If the Yuan family brought it to other cities, they could sell it higher than the market price . Then they could reap a massive profit from the trade .

However, the representative of the Yuan family gave Tong a surprising news . They wished to transfer their right to the five merchant alliance of Julu City .

The five men were also there with the representative, waiting to be confirmed by Tong .

’That’s odd . From the looks of the greedy Yuan Clan, they shouldn’t abandon this concession right too easily even if they knew I sell these spice for my citizens at lower prices . ’

"It’s your right agreement to begin with . You can give it to them if you are not ready for another trade . "

Despite being baffled by the decision of the Yuan Clan, Tong agreed to pass the concession right to the five men, who were exhilarated by the affirmation .

"Thank you, young master Zhang!"

"Thank you, young master Zhang!"

The five fatties bowed to Tong and were about to rush out to make a preparation for gathering the fund .

However, Tong probed them with a question before they left .

"How much did the Yuan Clan offer for the concession?"

The five merchants and the Yuan representative came to a pause . They glanced at each other in hesitation . None of them was willing to speak out .

"Never mind that . You can leave . "

The merchants bowed and left in a hurry . Afterward, the Yuan Clan representative also excused himself and left .

Tong watched at the back of the leaving men while they were leaving . He clicked his tongue .

’The Yuan Clan clearly sold the concession to them . Heck, they dodged the bullet . Did Feng Ji realize it? No, it shouldn’t be him . It should be Tian Feng that saw through my scheme . Or is it ...’

Tong recalled that after the auction had ended, Te Langpu rushed out of the city . But somehow, he stopped midway on the road and grouped up together the Yuan Clan . Every action Te Langpu did that day was monitored on the radar map .

Because of the Yuan Family troops outside the gate, Tong could not assassinate Te Langpu as he would risk exposing himself .

If his action was exposed to the public, his reputation, which he had earned it the hard way, would be ruined . Then, backlashes from the officials and the citizens would follow . The neighbor city warlords, especially Yuan Shao, would also use this reason as an excuse to dispatch troops to attack his city afterward .

It was too risky .

Tong had to give up this opportunity and let Te Langpu left with the Yuan Clan caravans .

With Te Langpu going with the Yuan Family, he probably helped them or advised them about the business schemes .

’It’s probably that fatso . In the history records, Tian Feng was a military strategist, not a financial expert . Te Langpu was a former businessman and a freaking president . He is familiar with modern economic schemes . ’

Unknowingly while he was in deep thought, his eyes flashed a flaming red color again, and his sinister aura leaked out without him activating his aura skill .

The guards nearby gulped . The atmosphere turned chilly and spooky as if the government hall had turned into a haunted house . They did their best to stand firm while their legs were shaking in fear .

After a few minutes, the sharp pain in his brain came back again . Tong felt like a needle had pierced deep inside his head .

’Ugh! Not again . Why is this always happening when I’m trying to think?’

Tong staggered two steps forward and knelt to the ground in dizziness .

The guards came back to their sense when they saw Tong was about to collapse . They rushed to help him and asked for help .

"Young master!"

"Call the physician! Young master has collapsed!"

"Please hang on, sir! We are calling for help!"

Hearing the frantic voice of the guards, Tong waved his hand to stop them .

"Don’t bother calling any physician . Call my fiancé here ... wait . Take me back to my room and call her over . Also, have someone send a message to my master . Tell him that I have to skip his lessons for today . "

"Yes, sir!"

...

Tong returned to his room and collapsed on his bed . The pain had lessened somewhat, but a new symptom had emerged .

His little brother stood tall without any external influence, neither Tong was aroused .

’It feels like I have a morning wood . But WTF is happening to me!?’

Tong stared at his crotch with a deep frown . He was contemplating if he turned into a sex-addicted .

While Tong was in thought, Hua Shi walked into the room . She was amused by the sight of Tong staring at his erected little brother .

"Well, well, well . It seems like you can’t wait for tonight, huh? Do you desire my body that much?"

Hua Shi teased Tong and slowly stripped herself to arouse him more .

Tong turned his head to look at the direction of the voice . The red eyes of his met the eyes of Hua Shi .

’What the!? What’s with those eyes!?’

In the eyes of Tong, the areas which should have been white was now pitch black, and his pupil glowed in bright red . Those were not human eyes .

The sinister aura leaked out from Tong again . However, it did not evoke fear inside Hua Shi’s mind . It drew out her lust .

Her lower stomach shook . Her fluid slowly dripped, and her mind became fuzzy . All of her conscience was lost .

Hua Shi’s body moved by itself . She stripped away her clothes and walked toward him .

...

During their sessions of dual-cultivation, the system gave out messages to Tong, who had already temporary lost his reasons . The voice of this system was different than the usual . It was more gentle and soothing .

[I see that the soul mutation started earlier than I had estimated . I will help you get back to your sense . ]

[Your demonic skills will be sealed by the system . So maybe you can control it more easily in the future . ]

[The cost of the skill will be reduced because it is your natural power in the first place . ]

[I cannot stop the mutation for you . But at the very least, I can lend you a hand . ]

[... So you won’t become a monster . ]
