Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

Ok……

Zhang Shan was speechless.

Looks like my days of working for free are going to be extended...

However, he never intended to leave Tushan from the beginning, so a little more time wouldn't matter to him.

After the head of the gang nodded in agreement, Zhang Shan led the family to Rongrong's place.

If you want a job in Tushan, you'll need Finance Minister Rongrong to arrange it.

A few minutes later, Zhang Shan swallowed hard, inwardly screaming, "Sister Ya Ya! You're so disloyal! Why did you just leave like that!"

That's right, Ya Ya didn't come to Rong Rong's place with him, but stayed with Hong Hong and kept pestering her older sister for affection.

Therefore, at this moment, the only person in front of Rongrong was Zhang Shan.

Facing the third leader head-on, Zhang Shan thought to himself, "This is going to be my death!"

Especially after learning Zhang Shan's purpose for coming, Rongrong's smile became even more pronounced.

"You can certainly support these three ordinary people, but since you're poor and your daily needs are all earned through work, emmmm..."

Rongrong thought for a moment and said, "So, for every day the three of them stay here, you have to work three more days in Tushan!"

Rongrong had expected Zhang Shan to haggle, given how demanding the conditions were, and she was prepared for a struggle with him. However, to her surprise, Zhang Shan readily agreed, saying, "Okay! No problem at all!"

Rongrong stared at Zhang Shan in surprise, her eyes wide open.

She stammered, "You...aren't you going to put up any resistance...?"

"Huh? Can I resist?" Zhang Shan looked at Rongrong with doubt. Based on his understanding of Rongrong, even if he tried to bargain with her, it would only be a waste of breath in the end.

Seeing that Zhang Shan didn't seem to be lying, Rongrong smiled and said, "Okay, it's settled then. I'll keep track of your accounts myself from now on."

"Hehe! Thanks a lot, Third Master!"

After thanking Rongrong, Zhang Shan turned to the family of three behind him and said, "Let's go! From now on, you're my little brothers!"

Qin Lan and the other two were still stunned. They never expected that the Demon King would be controlled by this little girl.

However, when they thought of Zhang Shan's obsequious manner in front of Ya Ya, they felt relieved.

Following Zhang Shan to a mountaintop, the family of three looked at the bare summit with some confusion.

At the beginning of the month, Father asked, "Your Majesty, is there no place to stay here?"

Zhang Shan pointed to the empty land in front of him and said, "This is all my territory. You can choose a place to build a house here. By the way, if you want to farm or raise livestock, you'd better tell Rongrong, otherwise Rongrong will definitely take the opportunity to exploit me!"

Qin Lan nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Demon King! We'll take care of it!"

Then, to the astonishment of the family of three, Zhang Shan moved a rock in the mountains, and behind the rock, some simple daily necessities could be vaguely seen.

For the past few years, Zhang Shan has been cultivating in a cave. Because he has no money and cannot build his own house, he has resorted to this desperate measure.

The next day.

Zhang Shan looked at Dongfang Qinlan, who was building a house in the distance, nodded and smiled, "What an energetic young woman!"

Beside Zhang Shan, Ya Ya stared with dead fish eyes and said indifferently, "Young man? You're the youngest here, aren't you? After all, strictly speaking, you're only three and a half years old..."

Suddenly, Ya Ya smiled and said to Zhang Shan with utter disdain, "A three-and-a-half-year-old brat, the size of a little cockroach~"

Seeing Dongfang Yuechu playing in the mud in the distance, Ya Ya burst out laughing, unable to hold it in any longer!

Zhang Shan didn't hold back and pounced on Ya Ya directly.

Then, the two started playfully fighting.

Qin Lan and Yuechu's father, who were building a house, looked at the two of them bickering and smiled.

A few days later, Zhang Shan was playing cricket fighting with Ya Ya when a sound reached his ears.

Come to the Bitter Love Tree.

Zhang Shan stood up and smiled at Ya Ya, "Rongrong is looking for me. Let's play again when I get back!"

Ya Ya gave an OK sign: "Go ahead, come back early, I'll take good care of the crickets."

However, the next moment, Ya Ya's body stiffened, and she heard Hong Hong's voice in her ear.

Come to the Bitter Love Tree.

Chapter 232 Emotional Power is Cultivation of the Mind

"You came."

Under the bitter love tree, Rongrong and Honghong were both standing.

"Boss, Third Boss, what are your orders for calling me here?" Zhang Shan asked with a smile.

Rongrong pointed to the Bitter Love Tree and said, "The power of us fox demons comes from emotions. If you want to become stronger, you must comprehend emotions. Haven't you always wanted to break through to the Demon Emperor level? Perhaps you can gain something by comprehending the Bitter Love Tree."

Zhang Shan pointed to himself and asked uncertainly, "I'm a tiger, can I cultivate like you?"

“Theoretically speaking, yes.” Honghong nodded and said, “Although the path of love is cultivated by us Tushan fox demons, it is not something that only we can cultivate.”

Zhang Shan nodded, somewhat bewildered, and walked to the Bitter Love Tree, asking Rongrong, "What do I need to do?"

"Just place your hand on the Bitter Love Tree and try to understand it," Rongrong said with a smile.

After Zhang Shan did as she said, Rongrong opened her eyes, her expression serious.

At this moment, Zhang Shan infused his demonic power into the Bitter Love Tree, and soon he felt all sorts of emotions.

The most direct example is the seven emotions and six desires of human beings.

In an instant, Zhang Shan's consciousness was eroded and became a chaotic mess.

He seemed to have experienced a series of extreme highs and lows, his emotions constantly bouncing back and forth between two extremes!

Sensing something was wrong, Zhang Shan immediately tried to disconnect from the Bitter Love Tree.

But after several attempts, he tragically discovered that he seemed unable to break the habit!

"Damn it! Rongrong, you tricked me!" Zhang Shan felt like crying, a sense of foreboding lingering in his heart.

Just when Zhang Shan was at his wit's end, a hand suddenly struck, severing the connection between him and the Bitter Love Tree.

Zhang Shan was thrown to the ground by the immense force, panting heavily.

After a while, Zhang Shan tossed Ya Ya off him and asked Hong Hong, "What was that just now? Did it make me reincarnate?"

In that instant, he truly felt an extreme emotion he had never experienced before. If it weren't for his powerful demonic energy, he would have lost himself almost instantly and become part of the Bitter Love Tree.

Honghong said, "Those are the emotions of those who have been reincarnated and are continuing their predestined relationships, collected by the Bitter Love Tree over the years. As long as you can comprehend the power of emotion within them, you can break through to the realm of the Demon Emperor."

"..."

Zhang Shan remained silent.

Although I know that the cultivation method in this world is to comprehend the power of emotions, the feeling I just experienced was truly terrifying!

He felt like he wasn't himself anymore!

After standing up, Zhang Shan cupped his hands and said, "Forget it, I'll just go home and try to understand it myself. The Bitter Love Tree isn't suitable for me."

Isn't it just about feelings? Zhang Shan prided himself on having some understanding of it.

"Want to try again? With the experience from last time, you shouldn't get caught up in it this time," Rongrong said with a mischievous smile.

"No need!" Zhang Shan decisively refused.

Perhaps he would consider trying again when his cultivation fails in the future, but right now, he absolutely does not want to experience that feeling of going up and down again.

Seeing Zhang Shan fleeing in a somewhat panicked manner, the three people under the tree all revealed wicked smiles.

"Finally, we've seen this kid get his comeuppance!" Ya Ya laughed.

"Yes, I thought he would break through to the Demon Emperor realm on the spot!" Rongrong said.

Honghong watched Zhang Shan's figure. Although she didn't say anything, the smile on her face said it all.

Back in his cave, Zhang Shan began his cultivation.

"Whether it's family affection, friendship, love, or even all kinds of human emotions, they are all emotions..."

Zhang Shan then thought of the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom, who seemed to be playing the role of Sun Wukong.

"If the emotions in this world are related to Journey to the West, then the so-called emotions should be the heart, and the so-called emotional power is the cultivation of the heart."

Thinking of this, a sentence instantly popped into Zhang Shan's mind.

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

Having figured this out, Zhang Shan immediately felt that he had grasped the right path, and his own aura began to slowly increase again.

Zhang Shan's face lit up with joy: "As expected, I am a cultivation genius!"

With a clear path, Zhang Shan had a goal to pursue in his cultivation.

The wind-based magic he cultivates requires him to comprehend the Way of Wind, connecting his demonic power with heaven and earth, and sensing the 'Dao' in the darkness.

In the past few days, Ya Ya came to visit Zhang Shan, but he was always engrossed in cultivation, which made Ya Ya very disappointed.

Fortunately, she soon discovered that she and her neighbor Qin Lan were kindred spirits and had been hanging out together a lot lately.

Moreover, Ya Ya found the little thing at the beginning of the month quite amusing. She would often make the other person cry before returning it to Qin Lan, and then make her own escape.

Qin Lan was furious at this irresponsible behavior, but she was too busy comforting her child to chase after Ya Ya, so she had no choice but to let it go.

Time flies, and Xiaoyue is already seven years old.

That day, having completed his patrol mission, Zhang Shan returned to his luxurious cave.

In recent years, Qin Lan's family helped Zhang Shan renovate the cave, installed a door, tidied up the inside, painted it, and replaced it with a set of solid wood furniture.

This furniture didn't cost a penny; it was all handcrafted by Qin Lan herself, and her craftsmanship is quite excellent.

He pushed open the door and saw Ya Ya sitting on his bed cultivating. The bed, which had been perfectly fine, was now covered with a thin layer of ice.

Zhang Shan, his face dark, shoved Ya Ya off the bed and said angrily, "You can cultivate while sitting on the floor, don't mess up my bed!"

This bed was made by Qin Lan, a high-end product. It's covered with a goose down mattress. If Ya Ya gets cold and it gets damaged, who knows how long it will take to save up enough money to make another one just like it.

Ya Ya opened her eyes in confusion and saw that she was already sitting on the ground. She was immediately furious. She turned around and jumped onto Zhang Shan's back, punching him repeatedly on the head with her little fists. She yelled, "I only cultivated on your bed for a while, why did you put me down?"
