“Someone wants to get a marriage certificate with me, just the kind where we only maintain a public relationship.”

"You don't need to let me know about your private affairs, do you?" Lily said with a smile. "Who is it? Someone so good at investing?"

"Evereya".

“She’s actually not bad, is she?” Lily nodded, clearly knowing about Evereya.

"You know her?"

"I know a bit about her. The enhanced virus she developed is quite famous in Rota City, and she's also a consultant for some companies."

Lily explained the reason: longevity has always been something that intelligent beings pursue, and Evefeya's enhanced virus has made great achievements in this regard.

Although the enhanced virus can only be used once, to extend its lifespan, a better or more special enhanced virus must be used.

But her enhanced virus, which could only be used once, was very effective.

The virus not only doubles life expectancy, but also enhances resilience.

While their combat strength is inferior to that of superhumans, they live longer than some superhumans, and this enhancement virus does not affect their use of other life-extending drugs.

However, these kinds of things are destined to be used by only a few people.

Moreover, viruses are highly susceptible to problems if they are not specially modified one-to-one. Even so, Evefeya has the capability.

"If you are ambitious, you can agree."

Which kind of ambition are you referring to?

"Develop a force that belongs to you."

"Oh, never mind then." Bai Mu wasn't very interested in this.

"You can use this to win over technical personnel; there's no harm in getting to know more people like that."

Bai Mu agreed with Lily. Although he didn't know many technicians, he had gained a lot from just one craftsman.

Without the help of craftsmen to process the materials he obtained from the dream, it would be difficult to transform them into actual combat power.

As for Evefeya... if he needs to become stronger step by step, Evefeya can be very useful, but he doesn't need to do it step by step.

"..."

"And isn't she beautiful?"

"This can't be eaten as food." Bai Mu waved his hand.

"Of course you can eat it as a meal."

“You’re very pretty too.” Bai Mu looked at Lily.

Lily asked Bai Mu, "What are your concerns? Her family?"

"Yes, I really don't want to get involved in this stuff."

Lily laughed: "If you don't want to get involved, then don't. You don't need to care about this. The people behind Evefeya want to influence her through her. So let me ask you, do you have feelings for her? Don't lie."

“If we’re talking about appearances, then there might be affection, but when it comes to feelings, then there isn’t.” Bai Mu wasn’t lying.

He and Evefeya were just acquaintances; in terms of their relationship, it wasn't even as close as his connection with his destiny master, who had even formed a karmic bond with him.

That wasn't exactly getting a marriage certificate, but it was much more useful than any certificate that could be torn up at any time.

"That's fine. You can completely ignore what her family brought up. If it involves you, then it's her problem. You are just collaborators."

Before she causes any trouble that involves you, you can deepen your cooperation with her. If something goes wrong, that's her problem, as long as you don't go easy on her then.

"how about you?"

Lily smiled and said, "I still really hope you can soften your heart towards me."

"They've always been hypocritical."

“I don’t have a family backing me.” Lily seemed to be casually revealing her powerful connections.

However, what Bai Mu remembered was the craftsman's words: "This isn't urgent. If there's nothing else, I'll head back first. What are you doing?"

Seeing Lily follow, Bai Mu asked her, somewhat puzzled.

“Let’s go to your house together. You brought back a special fox, and I want to see it.” Lily stated her purpose frankly.

Bai Mu did indeed contact her immediately after returning, and even brought over the things that Vibel wanted to give her.

But that was it.

The person who sent Bai Mu to the desert kingdom more than three months ago still hasn't arrived.

"...I need to go to the processing station."

"Should I see her first?"

Bai Mu thought for a moment and reminded Lily, "You two shouldn't fight."

Lily didn't seem to care much about others, but her attitude towards her destined master was clearly different.

"How could I possibly fight?"

Bai Mu used the store's phone to contact Chelsea and tell her that Lily was going there. The new housekeeper immediately replied, "I know, you're not coming back?"

"I'll be back later, that's all for now."

After parting ways at the store entrance, Bai Mu and Lily headed straight for the processing station.

Borre was not surprised by his arrival.

"If you don't come soon, I'm going to send someone to look for you."

"I moved, so I had to take care of some things." Bai Mu said with a smile, "Congratulations on your promotion!"

"Alright, let's get down to business. There's been some follow-up trouble regarding what you did in Meilin City."

"Is my bounty going to increase?"

Borei rubbed his temples: "How did you come up with this?"

"When I was dealing with those monsters, I came into contact with some people who were trying to capture them, and I took care of them as well. I probably offended some people."

"You're right, but the bounty is unlikely to increase. Those people are rich and not stupid."

Borei shook his head. He could indeed predict that Bai Mu had offended someone, but the bounty had already accumulated to over forty million.

Furthermore, given that Bai Mu is still alive and well, and his strength is growing stronger, no matter how much trouble the people in Meilin City cause, they won't waste their money.

Bounties placed in the City of Gold can be withdrawn, but it's not a bank there, and bounties aren't piggy banks. Withdrawing them comes with a fee, and that fee isn't cheap.

"Oh." Bai Mu said regretfully. He was still thinking that if his bounty continued to increase, even more powerful bounty hunters would come looking for him in the future, and the soul materials he could collect from the weapon box would be endless.
A generous reward will surely attract brave men. We don't want reckless fools, but we can keep brave men who can fight.

“...Just try to avoid going to Meilin City in the future; they can’t handle the situation there.”

Borei reminded Bai Mu that during their communication with the director of the Coal Forest City Disposal Bureau, they had discussed some 'shady dealings'.

The director of the bureau over there wanted to resolve the matter but encountered resistance. However, Bai Mu, an outside helper who was eager to leave, appeared.

So the two sides hit it off immediately, and Bai Mu acted decisively, directly destroying the mother body of those monsters and burning it to ashes.

"Wouldn't that make me look like I'm afraid of the people over there?"

"...Whatever you like. How would you like the awarding ceremony to be?"

"Huh? Isn't it enough to just give me the item?" Bai Mu asked, somewhat puzzled.

“That’s the Maple Crown Medal! It’s not like Rota City gives out a whole bunch of Rota Stars every year.” Borei shook his head, seeing that Bai Mu’s reaction wasn’t strong.

"You don't seem to care about empty fame." "What's the use of caring? It doesn't benefit me at all. Look at me, I'm not short of money, I have plenty of material things, why should I care about these things?"

Once people have sufficient material conditions, they either pursue self-satisfaction or fall into depravity; the difference between good and bad is just a thought away.

And he doesn't seem to be able to get any worse.

“You’re certainly very relaxed and free this way.” Borre nodded. “I know what you mean. Let’s keep the award ceremony simple. You can prepare, and we can do it the day after tomorrow… do you have time?”

"Yes," Bai Mu said after thinking for a moment. He had just returned and could rest for a week or two without any problem.

"Then the day after tomorrow. Prepare a formal outfit. If you don't know what kind, ask someone you know to prepare it. You don't need to worry about the rest. Just collect some business cards and take some photos when you get there."

Borre explained the follow-up to Bai Mu very clearly.

Bai Mu's meaning was quite clear just now: he doesn't care about certain things, so the awarding ceremony doesn't need to be made into something like that.

There's no need to arrange any prior rehearsals for Bai Mu. Speeches and the like can also be eliminated. Bai Mu hasn't been involved in any related matters, and having him do that would make everyone uncomfortable.

The simplest procedure is to have a white screen over the camera, take photos, and have reporters record some news material.

The others are all seasoned veterans; once the situation on the other side is explained, they'll figure out their own solutions.

As for a forced white curtain?

This was a man who had fought his way out of hell. Although he only controlled a demon territory, he did have a tremendous impact on that war.

The Maple Crown Medal is proof of that.

The Maple Crown Republic doesn't want to let White Curtain go either. Let him go? The UN is about to take him in!

Therefore, it's impossible to force him. In fact, before Bai Mu's character is ruined, he doesn't need to be on the city defense agreement's whitelist. No, he doesn't even need to be on the list.

"Is it really that simple?" Bai Mu asked with some skepticism.

"It's that simple, but you'll have to stand for at least two hours."

"trouble!"

"..." You change your mind so quickly. Borei shook his head and said, "This is the fastest way. And after you do this, the mayor of Rota City will owe you a favor. Remember to use it within five years."

"Hahaha, aren't you guys in cahoots? Why are you reminding me like this?"

"What group..." Borei glanced at Bai Mu. This guy was too blunt, but a necessary reminder was still necessary.

This favor, though perhaps not used, cannot be ignored.

As for the five-year period, that means the mayor of Rota City will be re-elected five years later, and Oscar, the former director of the Bureau of Justice, may not be able to win the election again.

If he fails to win the election, he will have to move to another position, and the value of his personal connections may be higher or lower.

"See you the day after tomorrow."

Bai Mu said goodbye to Bo Lei and went home. As he approached his house, he suddenly slowed down and did not go straight in.

He quietly pressed himself against the wall, listening to the sounds coming from the living room.

"what are you doing?"

Leone opened the window and asked White Curtain.

"You listened to my voice! How did you find me?"

"I can smell your scent." Leone leaned against the window.

The advanced enhancement virus greatly improved her physical abilities, and the corrosive effects of the Imperial Arms also became more pronounced.

Although she didn't grow beast ears and a tail as a result, she felt as if the Imperial Arms were melting when she used them. Apart from that, her beast transformation was more pronounced during transformations.

"They didn't fight, did they?" Bai Mu climbed in through the window.

"You're worried about this?" Leone asked, somewhat curious.

“Lily was already very concerned about the fate master’s appearance before, and the two of them might really fight.”

Bai Mu pondered the way Lily would make a move. In Lily's condition, it would be quite exciting to see her take action.

As for the person in question, Bai Mu believed that she was someone who could trigger the city's defense agreement.

But she clearly concealed her power in a special way, and the city defense agreements were as if they didn't exist in either Coal Forest City or Rota City.

This also shows that urban defense agreements are unreliable, at least not for those who are not reckless.

However, the role of that thing cannot be ignored. When it is hidden, the defense agreement is unreliable, but once the action is taken, the defense agreement will most likely take effect.

"Your thinking is a bit strange. They get along quite well."

Leone looked towards the living room, where the protagonist was sitting on a chair with her feet touching the ground, her legs gently swinging, while Lily was smiling and chatting with her about something.

The weapon case was placed against the wall. Bai Mu walked over, pulled up a chair, and sat down: "You guys had a good chat?"

"It's a pity it wasn't an instant connection." Lily's smile remained unchanged: "She's a very good girl, remember to cherish her."

"Hmm?" Bai Mu raised an eyebrow; Lily's comment sounded like that of a loser...

"She's a very nice older sister." The person in question seemed quite happy to have met Lily.

"That's good." Bai Mu had some doubts about the two people's situation, but at least on the surface, there was no problem.

"It's getting late, let's eat first."

"Are you going to be a glutton again?" Mine, who was watching TV, immediately turned her head.

The impression Bai Mu left on people while eating was very deep.

Others might say that eating a whole cow is bragging, but he really can.

"I'll help you follow the doctor's orders. Evefeya said you need to supplement with lots of nutrition afterwards, eat as much as you can."

Before Bai Mu could finish speaking, Chi Tong's eyes lit up. Besides being skilled at killing, her biggest hobby was eating.

Her sister is the same as her.

“We’ll go shopping with you,” the two sisters said, appearing very proactive.

"Let's go."

Bai Mu went to the market and was recognized by the butcher shop owner he frequented.

Although Bai Mu has been gone for more than three months, he has left a deep impression on people. No one else has bought a whole carload like him.

If you really need to buy that much meat at once, you don't need to come here.

"You haven't been here much lately, sir," the butcher said warmly.

"I went out to run some errands and just got back a short while ago."

Bai Mu smiled and began selecting the meat he wanted to eat.

After selecting the meat, he remembered something: he seemed to have neglected that unknown 'demon' lately.

White Curtain had a good impression of the demon he had only come into contact with through 'sacrifice'.

He had accidentally offended the other party, who had only smeared him with black blood, and the fleshy orbs he needed had also been transformed.

If it were a more traditional, no, a more serious demon, it might just throw a projection at him.

And that unknown demon actually offered a chance for forgiveness, albeit conditionally.

But those conditions don't seem too devilish. Hmm, let's get in touch soon.
