Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

The duck that was about to be caught flew away, and Lu Yan frowned inwardly.

"Wait, don't you think this voice sounds familiar?" a demon suddenly said.

"Hmm~ Now that you mention it, it's true, she does look so much like the Third Miss of the Moonlit Demon Mansion?"

"It's not just a resemblance, it's definitely the Third Miss. Think about it, the voice came from the third floor, and she's so wealthy, who else could it be but the Third Miss?"

"..."

"The Third Miss of the Moonlit Night Demon?" Lu Yan was also confused as he listened to the demons' discussion.

Wasn't this auction hosted by the Moonlit Demon Clan?

How can you buy your own stuff on your own platform?

What kind of tactics are they using?

However, once the price reached 1,000 low-grade magic stones, Lu Yan stopped pursuing it and prepared to compete for the second round of second-tier antidote pills.

However, Lu Yan miscalculated this time. He failed to bid for the antidote pills in the following rounds, even after betting all his magic stones.

The auction house managers were even more bewildered than Lu Yan. They could tolerate her causing trouble outside, but they never expected their third young lady to be causing trouble here.

They immediately sent demons to inquire, but they were all driven back, leaving them with no choice but to accept the situation.

……

They left the auction house.

Lu Yan apologized to Xue Fei, "Xue Fei, I'm sorry I couldn't get the antidote this time, but don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to get it from somewhere else."

"Yes, I believe you, Liu." Xuefei shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

On the way back, Lu Yan vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. To avoid being followed, he took Xue Fei on a detour for half an hour before finally returning to their residence.

Upon returning home, as soon as she removed her straw hat and veil to reveal her true face, ten figures suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall.

There are Moonlit Demons, Thorn Demons, Crimson Flame Demons, and others, but in terms of cultivation, they are all Demon Generals.

Seeing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but swallow.

Without hesitation, he took out two third-tier Thunderous Evil-Slaying Talismans. There was no way he could just sit and wait to die. If they dared to make a move, he would send them to their deaths.

"You are Lu Liu, the Human Demon?" Before Lu Yan could make a move, his front door was kicked open, and a charming and cute Moon Night Demon girl walked in with two demon general bodyguards, looking him up and down as she asked questions.

"I am Lu Liu. May I ask what business this young lady has with me?" Lu Yan asked cautiously, shielding Xue Fei behind him.

"Hmm~ Fair-skinned and handsome, strong and muscular, this human-demon race is not bad~ He's almost a third the size of my Moonlit Demon race." He first carefully examined Lu Yan, then said to the guards behind him, "Release that horned demon."

"Yes." The guard acknowledged the order and left.

"Lu Liu, the third young lady of my Moonlit Demon Clan, I've heard you can refine high-grade first-level pills?" the girl began to ask Lu Yan.

"That's right." The horned demon she mentioned earlier should be Yilian, the manager of the Horned Demon Pill Pavilion. Since that's the case, there's no point in denying it anymore.

But what happened next left Lu Yan somewhat bewildered.

"Here, take this." The girl took out a jade bottle from her storage bracelet and handed it to Lu Yan.

"Third Miss, what's wrong?" Lu Yan didn't dare to answer, but instead asked.

"Just take it. Why all the nonsense?" the girl said impatiently.

"Okay." Not knowing what she was up to, Lu Yan still chose to accept it.

Upon opening the jade bottle, they found twenty second-tier detoxification pills inside.

This, this, this~

Seeing this, not only Lu Yan, but Xue Fei, who was standing next to him, was also dumbfounded.

"I heard you need a second-tier antidote pill, so I'll give you these pills. From now on, follow me." The girl patted her little dumpling and then said to Lu Yan with an arrogant expression.

This...this...this...is this really happening?

"Boss, I'm willing to serve you like a dog or a horse." Lu Yan was deeply moved, and even Xue Fei's gaze towards the girl softened considerably.

"Huh? Aren't you going to put up a fight? Or make some other demands?" This time it was the girl's turn to be confused. She remembered that it wasn't written like this in the storybooks. It was said that recruiting a capable follower required a lot of effort.

What's the point of resisting?

Giving away twenty second-tier antidote pills right off the bat? That's just stupid!

You can't think like that; she's my mentor.

Having lived on Earth, Lu Yan knows that choice is more important than effort, and being rich is more important than choice.

The third young lady of the Moonlit Demon Clan is definitely a super rich woman. She'd be willing to be anyone's underling, or even just a bed warmer.

Even the guards standing nearby couldn't help but roll their eyes.

If you give someone a gift worth several thousand low-grade magic stones as soon as you meet them, not to mention a demon soldier, even a demon general would be tempted.

"I was immediately drawn to you, Boss, the first time I saw you. It felt like destiny. From now on, Lu Liu will be your most loyal little brother." Lu Yan declared his loyalty in a firm and resolute voice.

"But you're older than me, isn't it inappropriate to call me 'boss'?" It was the first time Yueye Tiantian had been called 'boss,' and she was still a little unaccustomed to it.

"Hey~ We don't care about age." Lu Yan waved his hand and said.

"Then what should we discuss?"

"On temperament."

"temperament?"

"That's right, boss. You shine like the sun wherever you go, the most unique existence among the demons."

Her flawless face was stunning, her grace as beautiful as a flower reflected in water, her movements as graceful as a willow swaying in the wind. She was so captivating that even the most beautiful demons paled in comparison. "Praising demons is free anyway," Lu Yan lavishly praised the girl.

"Th-th-this, I'm not as good as you say~" The usually carefree girl blushed instantly upon hearing Lu Yan's praise, a feeling she had never experienced before.

Even the guards beside him looked at Lu Yan with admiration. How could he say such a thing? His skin was truly thick.

"Boss, I'm just telling the truth. Actually, my words can't even begin to describe what you're really thinking. I have so much more to say." From her behavior just now, Lu Yan could tell that this girl was a typical case of late-stage chuunibyou (middle school syndrome). Going along with her would bring him endless benefits.

"Ahem~ Very good, you're quite sensible. From today onwards, you'll be my second brother."

"From now on, we'll share both good times and bad. Your business is my business." Moved, the girl immediately recognized Lu Yan as her second brother.

"And this is my token, take it." The girl then handed Lu Yan a palm-sized bronze token.

"Thank you, boss." Lu Yan took it and found that the token was a high-level magical artifact with the words "Moonlit Night Every Day" written on it.

This moonlit night must be the girl's name.

When the guards saw that Yueye was giving Lu Yan her identity token every day, their eyes lit up with envy.

Once Lu Yan accepts the token, it means that he is already Yueye Tiantian's absolute confidant, and his status even surpasses that of ordinary collateral relatives of the Yueye Demon Clan.

I've followed Yueye Tiantian for so many years and still haven't gotten together with her, but this human demon Lu Liu got her with just a few words. It's really unfair of heaven.

For a moment, he felt like tearing Lu Yan apart.
