A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 128 A Bountiful Harvest! (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!)
Are you injured?

After a tight embrace, Xiao Rui touched Li Weizhou's face with both hands, then cupped his dark face in her hands and asked with a giggle.

Her bright eyes were filled with his reflection.

Li Weizhou chuckled and said, "Of course not, you've touched it several times already... Did you watch my live stream?"

Xiao Rui exclaimed, “The whole world is watching! My husband is amazing! When you first announced that every citizen of Shan State would receive a monthly allowance for food and education, many experts laughed at you for making empty promises. But after you leased out all of Shan State’s resources and actually started distributing the money, the internet exploded. Everyone was saying all sorts of things, and most of them wanted to immigrate there. Guess what Xu Li and the others’ expressions were when they saw you in the video?”

"Hahaha!"

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "Did you think I was really a royal prince who had been living in exile?"

Xiao Rui nodded gleefully, "Yes. The three of them were absolutely stunned, and then they kept asking me to be their concubine! Also, when I told my parents that the person on TV was my boyfriend, they didn't believe me at first, but when I showed them the photos, they were all dumbfounded too, haha!"

Li Weizhou said with a gentle smile, "What did they say? Do they want to visit me in Shan State?"

Xiao Rui nuzzled against him and said, "I told them that you bear the expectations of the nation and the mission of history on your shoulders, and you can't be filial to them like an ordinary son-in-law. Guess what my mom said?"

Li Weizhou guessed: "Strong support?"

Xiao Rui chuckled and said, "She asked me if I was going over, and also asked if I wanted to make my face look like this too, all black. Also, if she and my dad go on vacation, they don't need to kneel and bow to you, right? The King of Thailand does."

Li Weizhou laughed heartily, and Xiao Rui continued, "Actually, she still doesn't quite believe it, but my dad does. Because he definitely knows that his ability to get into Beijing isn't because of his outstanding work skills. Many of my grandfather's old friends in the capital, whom he hadn't contacted for years, are now getting in touch with him again. Sigh, this world... so realistic, and so vulgar. Otherwise, I'll remain your secret girlfriend, and we won't be exposed..."

Li Weizhou hugged her tightly and laughed, "There's no need to deliberately think about these things. Born into this world, how can we completely avoid worldly affairs? There will be even more of these things in the future, all sorts of troubles, but as long as we keep the true meaning of life in our hearts, which is life itself, nothing else matters."

Xiao Rui's bright eyes were filled with the sweetness of spring, and she cupped Li Weizhou's face in her hands and kissed him passionately.

These are very well said.

……

Are you leaving tonight?

Xiao Rui looked at Li Weizhou with eyes full of reluctance. She never thought that one day she would shed tears because of parting.

Li Weizhou stroked her fair face and said softly, "Hurry up and learn Shan language, then we'll pick you up. Dongda University has made perfect arrangements there. Once you learn Shan language, you can take over quickly."

Xiao Rui hesitated and asked, "Can it really work?!" She felt it was too frivolous.

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "You have no idea of ​​my current prestige in Shan State. Even if I were to build a large army and start World War III, the people would not have any objections."

He used to think that the world's top circles would be very high-end, with countless allusions and connotations in every sentence.

Until Anzi was stabbed by Huang Mao, even a top-tier figure like Pu Xiaohuo was almost forced out of office by a cook...

After a series of absurd farces erupted in Persia, Li Weizhou finally understood that the so-called high-end world circle was nothing more than a makeshift operation.

So-called legitimate art ultimately cannot withstand the four words: profit and selfishness.

In the end, it all comes down to who is stronger, who is more ruthless, and who dares to kill.

Coincidentally, he was the best at all of these things...

Xiao Rui cautioned, "Human desires are insatiable. Right now, you have welfare benefits and your prestige to keep things in check, so things are relatively peaceful. But what will happen in three to five years?"

Li Weizhou chuckled and said, "If I have to worry about all this, what's the point of having you as prime minister? Besides, you can consult with Dongda University; they're experts! For example, Shan State is predominantly Buddhist, and I'm already considered a reincarnation of the wrathful Vajra Buddha in the military. With your help, the civilian issues will be much easier to handle. As for the rest, you can discuss it with the relevant authorities."

Xiao Rui smiled admiringly, "You're really something. Once you become a believer, as long as you're alive, and you occasionally show your face to do good deeds, kill some bullies, bad guys, and spies, and incidentally give a warning to foreign countries, your prestige will only increase. But the treatment of Buddhists in Shan State is too good. Aren't you afraid that all the men in Shan State will become monks? I looked through the information and found that the men there are particularly lazy. The women go out to work to support the family, while the men just sit on the street drinking coffee and smoking? Is that right?"

Li Weizhou said, "Pretty much. If you want to become a monk, then become one. Dongda University has no shortage of people. As long as you come here and abide by our laws, that's fine. Men in Shan State not only love to become monks, but that place is also rife with drug use. Once the framework is in place, the next step is to crack down on this. As for Jin Sanjiao, I will wipe them out completely."

He felt no psychological burden whatsoever in using these people's heads to expand his sea of ​​blood.

According to sewage tests conducted in some Chinese cities, the levels of toxins in underground waterways have begun to rise significantly again.

Countless good families have been ruined because of this; it is truly a great evil in the world.

After a pause, Li Weizhou added, "As for how to motivate the men of Shan State, I think Dongda University will definitely have a good solution."

Xiao Rui nodded vigorously and said, "Good husband, I support you!"

The digging sounds from the bunkers around them continued. Xiao Rui glanced at them and asked, "Where do you live over there?"

Li Weizhou laughed, "Zhao Jiugu is arranging for an engineering team to build me an underground palace, ensuring its safety and comfort. Actually, they care about my life and death more than anyone else right now, haha. Once it's finished, you can go there. I'm not afraid of America dropping a nuclear bomb, but you can't. Work hard, little girl, and try to become my housekeeper as soon as possible. By the way, come with me this afternoon to sweep my parents' graves."

Xiao Rui's eyes suddenly brightened as she looked at him, touched. Then she hugged him tightly and nodded in response, "Mmm!"

Li Weizhou gently stroked her back, gazing out the window.

He probably understands now why people need to find a soulmate.

Only in this way will life not be too lonely...

Moreover, it ensures that his humanity will not be lost.

He was unwilling to become a god devoid of emotions and desires due to the continuous surge in his power.

In Li Weizhou's view, there is no difference between gods and ghosts.

It's always best to be a good person.

In the afternoon, after Li Weizhou took Xiao Rui to pay respects to their parents, he set off alone again to the dried blood powder factories scattered throughout the country to set up the blood eye illusion.

……

"Squeak~"

In Qingzhou City, the door to the main room of the Li family's house, which had been closed for nearly a month, was finally opened.

"elder brother!!"

Ximei was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and a red hair accessory. Her little face was also red from the cold, but none of this could diminish her joy at seeing her brother.

Li Weizhou laughed heartily, stepped forward, hugged Ximei, and spun her around several times before putting her down.

Xi Mei jumped and laughed, overjoyed, and said, "Brother, you've finally come out of seclusion! I've been coming here to wait for you every morning!"

Li Weizhou flipped his hand and pulled out a bag of spicy strips: "This is a reward for you!"

Soon, three more figures appeared in the courtyard.

Situ Qingyue was dressed in a simple and elegant blue robe, her black hair styled into a Taoist nun's bun, still held in place by that familiar mutton-fat jade hairpin.

The faint silver lines between her brows, like makeup, made her skin appear even whiter and more like moonlight and glass.

Zhou Yueniang was not as dazzling as him. Her clothes were also simple and neat. Her hair was not in a ponytail, but tied into a simple bun, still tied with that shiny cowhide strip, with a copper coin hanging at the end.

Her amber eyes sparkled with a shimmering light. Feng Biwu's makeup remained stunning, but her naturally aloof and detached nature gave her beauty an aura that kept people at a distance.

Judging from their auras, they were actually fighting just now?
Xi Mei is so clever and obedient. When she saw that her three sisters-in-law had arrived, she quietly slipped away and went back to whisper to her brother!

"Out of seclusion?"

After carefully examining Li Weizhou for a moment, Zhou Yueniang raised the corners of her mouth and asked in a clear voice.

Li Weizhou smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Yueniang smiled, and Situ Qingyue looked Li Weizhou up and down and asked, "Has your seclusion yielded any results?"

Li Weizhou exclaimed, "The results are tremendous."

It's no exaggeration to say that conquering a country was secondary to him.

To express his gratitude for his historic contributions to the country and the nation, Dongda University donated one hundred dried pig blood meal factories to him in one of the top 100 pig-producing counties in China.

In addition, 100 kilograms of dried chicken blood powder were donated to the top 100 broiler chicken producing counties.

Not to mention pigs, with an annual output of over 700 million pigs, Li Weizhou can take away the blood from 500 million pigs a year, which is 5 billion liters.

Chickens are also a force to be reckoned with. Wafangdian County slaughters 400 million broiler chickens annually, Guangze County produces 600 million broiler chickens annually, Linchu County processes 560 million white-feathered chickens annually, and Boxing County slaughters 365 million poultry annually...

These 100 dried chicken blood powder factories can collect 800 million liters of chicken blood annually.

Similarly, Tokyo University slaughters 320 million sheep, 97.5 million cattle, 4.36 billion ducks, and 600 million geese every year...

The total annual blood inflow is projected to be between 10 billion and 12 billion liters.

This amount of health is enough for him to spread the phantom of his blood-red eyes throughout both realms!
In addition, Li Weizhou also commissioned Dongda University to breed a large number of octopuses. These creatures have a strong self-repair ability. Even if their tentacles are cut off, they can grow a brand new tentacles in just ten days.

There's also the axolotl, also known as the Mexican axolotl. It can regenerate almost any part of its body; even if its heart is gone, it can still grow back perfectly.

One of the hidden functions of the Blood Sea is that it can convert some of the attributes of the creatures it swallows into its own.

Li Weizhou does have the Blood Sea to heal and even revive, but wouldn't the effect be even better if several more buffs were added?

As he grows stronger, the amount of blood he needs to repair and revive through the sea of ​​blood will gradually become astronomical.

But if he has the ability to heal himself, and with the help of the Blood Sea, he will be an unsolvable problem!
These factories' blood pools are constantly expanding the sea of ​​blood; one day, the sea of ​​blood will become a true ocean...

It should be noted that the data above is only the existing data.

The data is not limited to that specific amount; rather, it's because the data is already sufficient to provide the Chinese people with ample meat.

But it is not the pinnacle of productivity.

As long as Li Weizhou has enough funds, this productivity can continue to explode exponentially!

Although Earth's resources have made it difficult for him to continue to grow stronger, his immortality and Blood Escape Instantaneous abilities alone are enough to defy the heavens!

As for how to tell them about the results of my retreat...

"I'll give you a surprise later!"

Li Weizhou's words were profound and unfathomable, but his flirtatious gaze still caused his three goddess-level lovers to glare at him, berate him, or scold him.

Dirty embryo!
But Li Weizhou wasn't just talking casually; he actually had some ideas, inspired by the electrotherapy he had with Situ Qingyue last time...

"On the fifth day after you went into seclusion, Yuanjian Mountain sent you an invitation to visit them. I told them to wait until you came out of seclusion before making a decision."

Situ Qingyue recounted what had happened during Li Weizhou's seclusion.

Li Weizhou shook his head and said, "I don't have time to go, I'm too busy."

They're really busy. They have to pay for all the blood they collect over there on Earth!
Even at cost price, it would require tens of billions of dollars every year.

With countless people watching Shan State, Li Weizhou had no intention of withdrawing money from there in order to maintain his prestige, especially given the country's treasury's low levels over the past two or three years.

Therefore, he still has to earn his own living.

Fortunately, we no longer have to be so careful and secretive in our actions, and we no longer have to worry about being investigated.

Go all out and do it; simply cashing out gold and silver will be enough to cover this expense!
In today's chaotic world, gold is a hard currency.

"Moon Lady, have all the artisans that Chu Mengjun brought back been settled in?"

Li Weizhou asked with concern.

These skilled craftsmen, as Tao Zhanggui described them, will all become gods of wealth and money-printing machines in the future!

Zhou Yueniang nodded and smiled, "They're all settled in the fortified village. My father is there watching over them, so everything is very peaceful."

Li Weizhou said happily, "Let's go take a look together."

Situ Qingyue suddenly said, "I've been here too long, and there's a lot of work piling up in the Imperial Punishment Department..."

Before Li Weizhou could speak, Zhou Yueniang said anxiously, "Sister Situ, are you leaving? Didn't you say you had two or three years of free time to live a good life?"

She genuinely wanted Situ Qingyue to stay at home, so that the Li family would be one of the safest places in the world.

Furthermore, she still had many questions about the Hidden God Palace.

She really hoped that there would be such a martial god in her family.

As for all the other trivial matters, she, a woman of the martial world, didn't care.

Situ Qingyue's forthright personality was so admirable that she admired her.

Situ Qingyue smiled and said, "I'll go back and take care of it, then I'll be right back." After smoothing Zhou Yueniang's temple, she said to Li Weizhou, "There's still one issue at Shenji Valley that hasn't been resolved. Shall we go take another look?" She then invited Zhou Yueniang and Feng Biwu, "Would you like to come along?"

Zhou Yueniang was very sensible. She shook her head and said, "Sister, you go ahead. My husband hasn't let us go yet. He must not be strong enough."

Li Weizhou nodded seriously and said, "That place is a dangerous place, and we need Sister Situ's supernatural powers to enhance it further. Once you open the Hidden God Palace and cultivate your supernatural powers, you will be able to get through. As for Sister Situ's departure... we'll talk about it when we get back."

After saying that, the two drifted away.

Zhou Yueniang and Feng Biwu stood for a moment, then burst out laughing in unison.

So, even a goddess-like woman is still a woman.

But that's fine too.
