People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 188 This is at most a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law; the more she looks, the more she feels that this kid has something special!
"Why are you crying, Sakura? You're such a grown-up, don't cry like that. People will laugh at you." Ye Hui reached out and gently ruffled her hair, teasing her as he tried to calm her down.

"I didn't cry! My eyes just feel a little uncomfortable!" Sakura sniffed, wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand, and then smiled again, her eyes red but full of happiness.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

Her gaze swept across the poster and she quickly noticed the blank space in the center. Pointing to it, she asked in confusion, "But why is the middle empty? It looks like something's missing."

Tomoyo covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes gentle: "Because this most important part is something we specially reserved for you, Sakura."

"Left for me?" Sakura was stunned, her dark green eyes filled with doubt.

Ye Hui nodded: "The theme of this poster is 'Our favorite Tomoeda Town,' and in Tomoeda Town, our favorite person is you, Sakura."

"So this most important part should be drawn by you, with your most adorable self, so that this poster can be truly complete."

You successfully deceived Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, with sweet words, making her willingly paint the sect's guardian beast portrait for you—which is actually her self-portrait!

Ye Hui blinked twice as he looked at the system's description.

Comparing Sakura to a mythical beast doesn't seem like a bad thing, does it?

After all, it's such an adorable little beast!
“Ye Huijun…” Xiaoying’s cheeks turned bright red, her heart pounded faster than usual, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +15]

She secretly glanced up at Tomoyo and found that Tomoyo was nodding in agreement, her eyes full of encouragement. She felt both shy and warm inside.

"Hurry up and draw, Kinomoto!" Li Meiling urged from the side, her voice full of anticipation. "We've all finished drawing, and we're just waiting for you! If you don't draw well, you'll be dragging us down!"

"Melon!" Li Xiaolang glared at her.

"Oh! I didn't say anything wrong." Li Meiling stuck out her tongue, then snorted and raised her head.

"I will definitely try my best to draw it well! I won't hold everyone back!" Sakura clenched her little fists, her eyes became determined, she took a deep breath, picked up her pen, and began to carefully outline the central area.

Sakura was drawing with great concentration.

It didn't take long.

A little girl wearing a Yuzhi Elementary School uniform and with pigtails gradually takes shape.

The girl carried a red backpack, a bright smile on her face, her eyes curving into crescents.

She looked almost exactly the same as usual, full of energy.

Ye Hui looked at the little man.

In fact, he, Sakura, and Tomoyo's footprints have almost covered the entire town of Tomoeda.

From the cherry blossom avenue to the penguin park.

From the library to the aquarium.

Almost every place holds memories of their time together.

"Wow! It's so cute! It looks exactly like you!" Tomoyo said, resting her chin on her hand.

Meanwhile, the camera in his other hand never stopped recording the completed poster from various angles, his face full of admiration.

"Hehehe~ Sakura is so cute~ I really want to take pictures of everything about Sakura~~~"

Sakura:

"Tomoyo."

"It's alright, a little better than I expected, but still a little bit worse than me."

Li Meiling crossed her arms, uttering critical words, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

Li Xiaolang nodded: "It's very well drawn, and full of spirit."

Amidst the praise, Sakura's cheeks flushed, and she scratched her head shyly: "Hehe, it's all thanks to everyone's excellent drawing skills that the background is so beautiful. I just drew a few strokes casually, and I'm glad I didn't drag everyone down."

No matter how.

Ultimately, the group's poster was successfully completed and, unsurprisingly, won several of the school's top awards.

Best Creative Award!

Most Popular Award!

Best Class Award!

optimal.
Therefore, in addition to making one on the blackboard, Ye Hui and his friends also drew another one.

When the printed bulletin board was hung in the corridor of the teaching building, it attracted many students to watch and praise it.

Sakura stood to the side, feeling incredibly happy, even happier than if she had received the award herself.

This was a project she completed together with Ye Huijun, Zhi Shi Jiang, and Mei Ling.

This is truly significant!

……

After school, I went home.

Ye Hui did not go directly back to his residence, but went first to the Void Spirit Field he had cultivated.

The spirit field is planted with various newly matured spiritual herbs, their emerald green leaves still carrying a faint spiritual aura, and the air is filled with the fragrance of herbs.

He crouched down and carefully examined the growth of each medicinal herb.

Finally, my gaze fell on a plant with pale pink leaves.

That's Jade Beauty Grass, one of the main ingredients for refining the Youth Preservation Pill.

He remembered that when he had a ten-pull from the system before, he had drawn a recipe for a youth-preserving pill.

As the name suggests, the Youth-Preserving Pill is an elixir that can help people maintain their youth and delay aging.

For a cultivator like Ye Hui...

As one's cultivation level increases, one's appearance will naturally remain at its peak.

This elixir won't be of much use to him, but perhaps he could give it to someone he knows.

His gaze fell on the pale pink Jade Face Grass in the spirit field, and he thought of Zhi Shi's mother.

Aunt Yuanmei.

If he wants to have a longer-term relationship with Tomoyo, he first needs to win over Sonomi.

Giving gifts is undoubtedly the most direct way to build closer relationships.

For any woman who loves beauty, the anti-aging pill is an irresistible temptation.

Moreover, he had even longer-term plans in mind.

For example, taking advantage of the gift-giving opportunity, they could explore new business collaborations with the Daidoji family.

In this way, their relationship will naturally become closer.
Think of this.

Ye Hui's lips unconsciously curved into a smile.

Then he took out the formula for the Youth Preservation Pill and began to study it carefully.

In fact, he had studied this pill formula before, and the refining process was not complicated.

The recipe indicates that the main ingredient for making the Youth Preservation Pill is the Jade Beauty Grass.

Other auxiliary medicines, such as dew-collecting flowers and snow lotus seeds, can also be found in his Void Spirit Field, making the materials quite complete.

Ye Hui immediately began preparations to start refining pills.

He carefully pulled the Jade Beauty Grass out of the soil by the roots, shook off the soil from the roots, and then successively picked auxiliary medicinal herbs such as Dew Flower and Snow Lotus Seed.

A bluebird landed on his shoulder, tilting its head and watching his movements curiously, occasionally letting out a few clear chirps to cheer on its master.

After returning to his residence, Ye Hui cleaned up all the medicinal herbs.

Remove the stems from the Jade Face Grass and keep the leaves; take the stamens from the Dew-Condensing Flower; and peel the outer shell from the Snow Lotus Seed.
When ready.

He brought out his alchemy furnace.

The furnace body is engraved with intricate runes, and its base is supported by three legs, exuding an ancient and rustic atmosphere.

He placed the prepared medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace one by one, following the order of the prescription.

He then activated his spiritual power, and a cluster of pale purple Samadhi True Fire ignited at his fingertips, carefully enveloping the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

The steps for refining the Youth Preservation Pill are not complicated, but the control of the heat is extremely important.

Initially, it needs to be slowly roasted over a low flame to allow the medicinal properties of the herbs to gradually permeate. In the middle stage, it needs to be condensed over a medium flame to blend the effects of various herbs.

Finally, use a low flame to finish absorbing the elixir. If you are not careful, either the medicinal properties will be too strong and damage the skin, or the medicinal effect will be insufficient and the elixir will be useless.

Ye Hui was completely focused, his divine sense locked on the inside of the alchemy furnace, carefully sensing the changes in the medicinal herbs inside. The flames sometimes grew stronger and sometimes weaker, precisely controlling the temperature.

Nearly an hour later.

A refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted from the alchemy furnace, its aroma carrying a subtle sweetness that permeated the entire room.

"It's done."

Ye Hui put away the Samadhi True Fire and gently patted the top of the alchemy furnace.

The furnace lid slowly opened, revealing three round, milky-white pills lying quietly at the bottom, their surfaces gleaming faintly, and their medicinal fragrance growing stronger.

"Master! It smells so good! What kind of pill is this? It smells so good!" Qingque flapped her wings and flew over, circling the pill furnace twice, her little head full of curiosity.

"This is a youth-preserving pill, a gift I'm giving to Tomoyo's mother," Ye Hui explained with a smile, taking out a white jade bottle carved with intertwined branches and putting one of the youth-preserving pills inside.

He thought about the remaining two and decided to put them into his storage ring, thinking they might be useful in the future.

[To please your future mother-in-law, Daidoji Sonomi, and to accelerate your efforts to win over the Dharma Protector Daidoji Tomoyo, you spared no expense in expending rare and precious materials to refine the long-lost Youth-Preserving Pill!]

Ye Hui rolled his eyes as he looked at the system log.

He's clearly just showing concern for his elders!
Stop talking nonsense!

Aunt Yuanmei takes such good care of him, isn't it only natural for her to give him a gift?

As for turning people to defect...

Cough cough, that was just incidental~
Afterwards, Ye Hui brought the jade bottle containing the Youth Preservation Pill to the Daodao Temple family.

After ringing the doorbell.

It was Tomoyo who opened the door.

She was wearing a light blue loungewear set, her hair casually draped over her shoulders. When she saw Ye Hui, she was pleasantly surprised: "Ye Hui-jun? What brings you here?"

"Hey~ I've brought you something." Ye Hui shook the jade bottle in his hand, followed Zhi Shi into the living room, and was then led to her room.

The room still displays various types of cameras and photo albums, and books are neatly arranged on the bookshelves, exuding a warm atmosphere.

Ye Hui sat down at the table, opened the jade bottle, and handed it to Zhi Shi: "Take a look at this."

"This is..." Tomoyo leaned closer, a faint medicinal fragrance lingering around her nose. She blinked her purple eyes, looking at the milky white pill in the bottle with great curiosity.

"This is a youth-preserving pill," Ye Hui explained with a slight smile. "I recently refined it while researching alchemy. It has the effects of beautifying the skin, delaying aging, and long-term use can keep the skin firm and delicate, and preserve youth forever."

"A pill to preserve youth? Tomoyo's eyes widened slightly. "Like those legendary pills that can keep you young forever?"

"Pretty much, but perhaps a bit gentler in effect." Ye Hui nodded.

"Is this... a gift for me?" Tomoyo looked at the pills in the jade bottle.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

"No."

Ye Hui shook his head, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

"Huh?" Tomoyo was taken aback, and subconsciously tightened her grip on the jade bottle in her hand.

Wasn't it a gift for her?
Who does Ye Huijun intend to give it to?
Sakura?
But wasn't this what Ye Huijun said he was going to bring as a gift for her?
【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +12】

"This is for Aunt Yuanmei," Ye Hui explained with a smile, his tone natural. "Last time I came to your house for dinner, I saw that Aunt Yuanmei was always rubbing her shoulders. She seemed to be very busy and tired from work lately, so I was thinking if I could do something to help her relieve some of the stress."

"I've been researching elixirs lately, so I just made one. I hope it can help Auntie improve her health. I'll be making more often in the future, so your mother can take it long-term, which will naturally help her slow down aging."

"Moreover, given Aunt Yuanmei's constitution, taking this should make her look several years younger, and of course, it will also benefit her skin in the future."

"For my mother?" Tomoyo's purple eyes flickered slightly. After the initial surprise, she felt an indescribable emotion.

Ye Huijun is so thoughtful; he even noticed whether his own mother was tired.
【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +13】

"Okay." Ye Hui nodded, then added, "But you absolutely mustn't tell Auntie directly that this is a youth-preserving pill. Think about it, if I suddenly tell her that this is a pill that can make people younger, she definitely won't believe me. She might even think I'm some kind of charlatan, and that would be troublesome."

"Just tell her that this is a health supplement that I specially commissioned to make for her, just like the pills I gave your mother before. She can take one whenever she feels tired to relieve fatigue and boost her immunity. She should accept it. I will also make more of it later."

“Of course I understand. After all, my mother always praised the effects of the pills you gave her before. She won’t doubt anything about this Youth Preservation Pill. Ye Huijun is so thoughtful.” Zhi Shi’s purple eyes curved into gentle crescents, her heart warmed. “Then… Ye Huijun, thank you so much for making this especially for my mother.”

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +13】

"I've already said, we don't need to be so polite between us." Ye Hui reached out his hand, intending to gently pinch Xiaoying's cheek like he would with her.

But halfway through reaching out, he felt that it might be a bit too intimate for Tomoyo, so he withdrew his hand and instead gently ruffled her hair. Soft strands of hair slipped through his fingers, carrying a faint fragrance.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +15】

"However, did Ye Huijun only think of my mother and not me?" Zhi Shi asked slowly.

Ye Hui was taken aback, withdrew his hand, and instead smiled slightly: "Because Zhi Shi is in the prime of her youth and so beautiful, she doesn't need any elixirs to nourish her; she is already beautiful enough to touch my heart."

Tomoyo:.

[Daidouji's mood value +8]

at this time.

There was a gentle knock on the room door.

Sonomi's voice came from outside the door, gentle yet capable: "Tomoyo, are you in there? Mom is coming in."

"Mom? I'm here!" Zhi Shi quickly responded, subconsciously gripping the jade bottle in her hand even tighter. She turned to look at Ye Hui, her eyes filled with a hint of nervousness.

The door was pushed open, and Sonomi, dressed in a well-tailored dark business suit, walked in.

Her hair was neatly combed, and she wore light makeup. Although she looked a little tired, her demeanor remained elegant and capable.

When she saw Ye Hui in the room, she was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently: "Ye Hui, you're here. Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have prepared something to welcome you."

"Hello, Aunt Yuanmei, I'm sorry to bother you." Ye Hui stood up and greeted her politely.

"Mom, why are you home so early today? You're usually still at the company at this time," Tomoyo said, walking up to Sonomi and taking her arm, somewhat surprised.

"I finished up the company business ahead of schedule. I was worried you'd be anxious about Sakura lately, so I came back early." Yuanmei patted her daughter's hand, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the jade bottle clutched in her hand. She asked curiously, "What's this? It looks quite exquisite."

“Ah, this…” Tomoyo glanced at Ye Hui subconsciously, and seeing him nod slightly, she explained according to the words they had agreed on beforehand, “This is a nutritional supplement that Ye Hui specially prepared for you. He said that you have been working hard lately, and this can strengthen your body and relieve fatigue, just like the health supplements he prepared for you before, Mom.”

"Oh? Really?" Yuanmei blinked. "After taking those little pill-like things before, I always felt like I had more energy, but I've finished them all recently."

[Daodaiji Temple Garden Beauty Mood Value +10]

Tomoyo smiled and said, "Yes, that's why Ye Hui-kun thought of you~"

Upon hearing this, Yuanmei looked at the boy in front of her and quickly began to make plans in her mind.

叶辉
Recently, the name that appears most frequently in her beloved daughter Tomoyo's mouth, besides Sakura, is this one.

such as
"Mom, Ye Huijun is so amazing! It seems like he knows a little bit of everything!"

"Mom, Ye Huijun's combat suit is so beautiful! It's novel in design and very practical. It's just as good as mine!"

"Mom, Ye Huijun made some delicious snacks again today. I'll bring some back for you to try next time, okay? They're super tasty! Xiaoying loves his food too!"

At first, Yuanmei didn't pay much attention.

After all, although Tomoyo has a gentle personality, she doesn't have many close friends.

It's rare to find a boy her age who can play with her and whom she talks about so much.

As a mother, she was naturally happy to see it happen.

They even thought it was a good thing that the child could keep Tomoyo company.

But later, as Zhi Shi mentioned Ye Hui more and more.

From his talent to his meticulousness, he even remembered his occasional quips clearly.

Yuanmei gradually realized this.

This boy named Ye Hui seems to hold a much heavier place in his daughter's heart than ordinary friends.

At that time, Yuanmei used her connections to secretly investigate Ye Hui's information thoroughly.

A Chinese American, orphaned, living in a villa district in Tomoeda, he is quite wealthy and even has a small reputation in the investment world...

The content is simple, yet so clean it feels almost unreal.

How could a primary school student make a name for himself in the ever-changing world of investment?
Then I thought back to the smartphones they had previously collaborated on. Both their design concepts and marketing operations far surpassed the level of their peers.

This looks suspicious no matter how you look at it.

Yuanmei even suspected that Ye Hui might be supported by some mysterious organization.

She had also subtly inquired with Tomoyo, hoping to find out the truth from her daughter.

Ke Zhishi simply smiled gently and said, "Ye Huijun is a very special person; he always manages to bring surprises to people."

His words revealed complete trust and appreciation for Ye Hui, without a trace of doubt.

However, since Tomoyo recognized her as a friend, Sonomi temporarily suppressed her doubts.

Regardless, Ye Hui always behaved very well in front of her, so he must be a good kid.

Moreover, Tomoyo was originally a very quiet person, and when she was with her, she usually only cared about her health and recent situation.

After all, the mother and daughter actually communicate very little.

However, since Ye Hui appeared, Zhi Shi seems to be more and more willing to communicate with her.

Even after a busy day, listening to my daughter recount her recent experiences is very mentally taxing.

But she was very happy.

Because she actually wanted to communicate more with her beloved daughter, but every time she faced Tomoyo, she had so much to say, yet she didn't know how to express it.

It must be said that she is indeed not a person who is good at confiding.

Yuanmei snapped out of her daze, took the jade bottle from Zhishi's hand, and gently unscrewed the cap, releasing a medicinal fragrance.

The milky-white pill in the bottle was round and plump, with a delicate luster, unlike any ordinary nutritional supplement.

"Thank you, Ye Hui," Yuan Mei said with a smile. "Did you make this yourself, or is it a product you invested in?"

[Daodaiji Temple Garden Beauty Mood Value +6]

"I made it myself. I usually like to study herbs. I learned some methods for conditioning the body from a very skilled senior. In my spare time, I figured some things out on my own. I've tried them all myself to make sure there are no side effects before I dared to give them to you." Ye Hui answered flawlessly, neither exaggerating nor hiding anything.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Yuanmei smiled and put the jade bottle into her handbag. "I've been dealing with company matters lately and I've been feeling a bit lacking in energy. The ones you gave me before were great; they always gave me a lot of energy after I used them. I'm sure this one won't disappoint me either."

After all, it's an imported product.

Of course, she wouldn't just eat anything.

She had someone check all the pills Ye Hui had given her before.

I only dare to eat it after making sure there are no problems and that it doesn't contain any prohibited medicinal materials.

The results were surprisingly good.

"I'm glad you like it, Auntie. I'd be happy if it could be of any help." Ye Hui smiled.

A shrewd woman like Yuanmei wouldn't easily trust others.

Even though he was Tomoyo's good friend and was also very familiar with Sakura.

But it doesn't matter. Since Yuanmei was willing to take the pills before, she must understand the value of this "nutritional supplement".

"Since Ye Hui is here, and it's dinner time, why don't you stay and have some dinner with us? The chef at home has prepared a lot of delicious dishes today," Yuan Mei said, extending an invitation.

"Then I'll have to bother you, Auntie." Ye Hui didn't refuse.

He originally intended to stay and have dinner with Tomoyo.

Yuanmei took the initiative to speak, which suited him perfectly.

[You confronted the mother of the Dharma Protector, Tomoyo of the Great Temple—an "Elder of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect"! You attempted to bribe her with a low-grade pill to gain her trust! Utterly absurd!]

The system log started rambling again, and Ye Hui rolled his eyes inwardly.

Dinner was indeed very plentiful.

The Daidoji family's personal chef meticulously prepared a table of dishes.

Like pan-fried silver cod, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

There's also matsutake chicken soup, which has a rich aroma.

In addition, there are several exquisite Japanese dishes.

Each dish is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, making it incredibly appetizing.

At the dinner table, while serving food to Tomoyo and Ye Hui, Sonomi casually inquired about Ye Hui's recent situation, from his academic performance at school to his daily routine and hobbies. Her questions were detailed but not deliberate, and she handled them with just the right tact.

I've asked most of these questions before.

However, Ye Hui and Zhi Shi have been going to Sakura's house for meals recently, so it's been a while since Ye Hui has eaten with Sonomi.

This gave Sonomi room to ask questions.

Ye Hui was well-prepared for this and answered fluently.

[Daodaiji Temple Garden Beauty Mood Value +10]

"Besides studying herbs, um, and investing, what other hobbies does Ye Hui have?" Yuanmei asked casually, putting a piece of cod into her mouth.

"Hmm... I usually like to cook for myself, research new recipes, and sometimes bring snacks for Sakura and Tomoyo." Ye Hui thought for a moment and then added, "Occasionally I also draw design sketches or study some... ancient books."

In this world, cultivation manuals are essentially ancient texts.
"Oh? Ancient books? I haven't heard you mention that before." Yuanmei's interest deepened, and she put down her chopsticks to look at him. "Is Ye Hui also interested in history?"

and also?
Ye Hui smiled knowingly.

Right.

There's also an archaeology professor named Fujitaka there.

He nodded and replied with a smile, "I guess so. I think there are a lot of interesting things hidden in ancient books. You can learn a lot from reading them occasionally."

"Of course, I'm actually more interested in some niche and uncommon things," Ye Hui paused, then added.

For example, cultivating immortality.

It must be pretty niche in this world, right?

After the meal, Yuanmei thought for a moment, then put down her teacup and said to Ye Hui, "Ye Hui, would you like to come to my study with me? I have something I want to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Zhi Shi was slightly taken aback, and then looked at Ye Hui.

Why did Mom suddenly call Ye Huijun to the study alone?
【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

Ye Hui felt her gaze, turned his head and gave her a reassuring look, then gently shook his head to indicate that she didn't need to worry. He then got up and followed Yuan Mei toward the study.

The study is decorated in a simple yet elegant style.

The entire wall of bookshelves is filled with all kinds of books.

A dark solid wood desk was placed by the window, with an exquisite inkstone and calligraphy brush on it.

Yuanmei walked behind the desk and sat down, crossing her legs with an elegant and composed posture. Her capable aura was even stronger than at the dining table.

She looked up at Ye Hui, who was standing in front of the desk, and without any preamble, went straight to the point: "Ye Hui, let's not beat around the bush."

"The products we've been working on are selling very well right now. Smartphones are something that's extremely cutting-edge in the world. And the nutritional supplements I was taking before were also working incredibly well."

"I was very curious about what it was, but after asking people to study it for a long time, they still couldn't figure it out. It seems to be related to traditional Chinese medicine."

"What was that 'nutritional supplement' you gave me today?"

Ye Hui looked at her sharp eyes without the slightest panic. Instead, he smiled slightly and threw the question back at her instead of answering directly.

"What does Aunt Yuanmei think it should be?"

Yuanmei smiled too.

"Ye Hui, I don't care who you are or what kind of power you have behind you."

Her fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"I have only one request—I hope you won't do anything to hurt Tomoyo."

[Daodaiji Temple Garden Beauty Mood Value +15]

"Aunt Yuanmei, don't worry." Ye Hui paused, his smile fading, and his expression turned serious. "I will never hurt Zhishi, not in this lifetime, because of her."

"She is the most important person to me."

"I will only protect her, and I will not let her get hurt in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Yuanmei felt a slight stirring in her heart and met his gaze.

The boy's eyes were so sincere, without the slightest hint of falsehood.

She has met many people and experienced many things.

That kind of gaze doesn't belong to a bad person.

Yuanmei's heartstrings loosened a little.

[Daodaiji Temple Garden Beauty Mood Value +16]

Ye Hui changed the subject and brought up another matter: "Aunt Yuanmei, actually, besides bringing you a gift, I also have something important I'd like to discuss with you today."

Yuanmei raised an eyebrow, sat up slightly, and showed a hint of interest: "What is it?"

"I'd like to discuss another collaboration with the Daodao Temple Group," Ye Hui stated his purpose directly.

"Cooperation?" Yuan Mei leaned forward slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, which was then replaced by curiosity. "Ye Hui, the smartphone technology you presented last time has already put the Daidou Temple Group a step ahead of its peers in the field of electronic technology, bringing huge profits."

"I'm curious, what will you have to surprise me this time?"

[Daodaiji Temple Garden Beauty Mood Value +8]

“Aunt Yuanmei, please don’t rush, let’s talk slowly.” Ye Hui smiled calmly, walked to the chair opposite the desk and sat down, his posture relaxed but not lacking in politeness. “Before we talk about the specific details of the cooperation, I would like to ask you a question first.”

"Please speak," Yuanmei gestured for him to continue.

"What do you think is the thing that women pursue most in their lives and are most willing to dedicate themselves to?" Ye Hui asked, looking at her.

After a moment's thought, Yuanmei, drawing on her years of experience in the business world and her understanding of the women's market, slowly replied: "Beauty and health. These two things are the eternal pursuit of almost all women, regardless of age or status."

“That’s right.” Ye Hui nodded. “So, if there were a product that could satisfy both of these needs at the same time, both slowing down aging and maintaining beauty, and also conditioning the body and maintaining health.”

What do you think its market value will be?

Yuanmei instantly understood what he meant and stared intently at Ye Hui: "You're not referring to that nutritional supplement you gave me today, are you?"

[Daodaiji Temple Garden Beauty Mood Value +13]

"Aunt Yuanmei is indeed a smart person; she understands immediately." Ye Hui nodded, no longer hiding his feelings. "The pill I gave you is called the Youth Preservation Pill."

"I think you will soon experience its specific effects firsthand. Of course, I can explain its efficacy first."

"Within three days of taking it, the skin will become delicate and firm, and the fine lines that appeared due to fatigue will be directly faded. The overall mental state will also be significantly improved. Long-term use can also slow down the aging process."

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention, because the anti-aging pill I gave you is the highest grade version, just one pill will allow you to regain the beauty you've lost."

Yuanmei's expression instantly turned serious. Her fingers stopped tapping on the table, and her brain raced.

If this pill really has the effects Ye Hui described.

Its market value will be immeasurable!
She could even use this to create a completely new industry!

[Elder Daodao Siyuanmei of the Wanfa Immortal Sect has discovered your identity as an evil cultivator! She is secretly circulating her spiritual power, considering whether to suppress you on the spot, this evil cultivator who has infiltrated the sect, to prevent future trouble!]

No, can the system hope for something good for him?

He was clearly talking about a serious business partnership.

It's business!

How did it become an exposure of heretical cultivation?
Besides, where was the sense of suppression in the way Yuanmei looked at him?
At most, it's like... a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looks, the more she feels this kid has something special!

Of course, I don't mean anything by it; it's just a proverb used to describe the situation.

Yuanmei paused for a few seconds before slowly speaking, her voice filled with uncertainty yet barely concealing her anticipation: "If it really has the effects you described, then its value is indeed immeasurable, and it could even change the landscape of the entire beauty and health industry."

"So I want to cooperate with the Daodao Temple Group to promote this product and benefit more people," Ye Hui said directly.

"Cooperate?" Yuanmei couldn't help but laugh. "Ye Hui, are you sure you want to cooperate with us instead of forming your own team and monopolizing this huge benefit? With the abilities you've shown before, I think you can definitely do it."

“Aunt Yuanmei, I’m just a primary school student. Even if I have the best things, I don’t have enough resources and channels to maximize their value.” Ye Hui had an innocent expression on his face, but he spoke clearly and logically. “Daodaosi Group has a mature system in production, channels and brand operation, and is undoubtedly my best partner.”

He paused, then added, "Besides, I trust you and I trust Tomoyo. I feel very reassured cooperating with you. Even if it's a huge profit, I'd even give it to you. In the end, it's all for Tomoyo's good anyway."

[Daodaiji Temple Garden Beauty Mood Value +15]

Ye Hui glanced at Yuan Mei's emotional value indicator without showing any emotion.

Wow, that works pretty well!

It seems that playing the emotional card works.

"Since you trust us so much, let's discuss the details of our cooperation." Yuanmei's smile vanished, and she instantly switched to negotiation mode. "How do you plan to cooperate?"

“I will provide the core technology and raw materials, including subsequent support for the alchemy process. The Daodao Temple Group will be responsible for the large-scale production, packaging design, marketing and sales of the products.”

"Furthermore, I must point out that while the effects of one Youth Preservation Pill are astonishing, selling only one pill is clearly not profitable enough; we must encourage customers to repurchase in large quantities."

"Therefore, you can grind a youth-preserving pill into powder, or even a single grain of powder, into water, and then divide a cup of water into several or even dozens of portions, and I guarantee that the effect will definitely be there."

Yuanmei was stunned for a moment.

This little brat is really cunning.
Ye Hui stated clearly, "As for profit sharing..."

He held up three fingers and placed them on the table.

"I get 30%?" Yuanmei raised an eyebrow, calculating in her mind.

This ratio is already quite high for her.

After all, Ye Hui was responsible for both the technology and the materials, while the other aspects were handled by the Dadao Temple Group.

But this wouldn't be a problem for any other company, or even for Ye Hui himself.

Ye Hui shook his head and explained with a smile, "No, it's you get seven and I get three. The Daodao Temple Group is responsible for all the implementation details, so they should take the lion's share."

Yuanmei was genuinely surprised this time. She widened her eyes slightly as she looked at Ye Hui.

She never expected that Ye Hui would voluntarily give up such a large profit.

"Why?" Yuanmei asked, puzzled. "You could have negotiated a higher share, or even taken a dominant position. Why did you make such a big concession?"

"Because... what I need is not money."

Ye Hui looked at her with a sincere expression, without the slightest hypocrisy, "For me, finding a reliable partner and doing this well is more important than making more profit. No amount of money can buy a family member or a friend."

"Besides, I believe that Aunt Yuanmei will definitely not treat me unfairly, right?"

He knew it.

My ultimate goal is to have a longer-term relationship with Tomoyo.

The key is to build a good relationship with her mother and gain her trust!

The amount of profit is not that important.

No amount of money can buy a single spirit stone.

Yuanmei was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "Okay, I agree. We'll go with the proportions you mentioned. We'll have our team draft the contract later to discuss the details of the cooperation."

As she spoke, she stood up, extended her hand to Ye Hui, and solemnly said, "Ye Hui, it's a pleasure to work with you. I hope that this collaboration can create new miracles, just like our previous collaboration with smartphones."

"It's a pleasure working with you, Aunt Yuanmei." Ye Hui shook her hand.

This handshake was not only a business collaboration, but also an important step for him to gain the recognition of Yuanmei.

When leaving the study.

As soon as Ye Hui reached the door, he saw Zhi Shi standing in the corridor waiting for him, her hands clasped in front of her.

"Ye Huijun, my mother... didn't give you any trouble, did she? You two talked inside for so long, I'm a little worried," she asked softly.

"No, your mother is a very nice person. We had a very pleasant chat." Ye Hui shook his head. "In addition, Aunt Yuanmei not only didn't make things difficult for me, but we also reached an important cooperation agreement."

"Cooperation?" Tomoyo was somewhat surprised, her eyes widening slightly. "What kind of cooperation?"

Ye Hui winked at her: "I'll tell you the specifics later. Anyway, we'll probably be working together a lot from now on, so please take good care of me, Tomoyo-chan."

Tomoyo was amused by Ye Hui, and her eyes crinkled into a smile.
