"Son, your mother said that Miss Lin is quite pretty, do you want to...?"

Fang Ping had originally hoped to decipher Lin Yue's secret formula. Even if he couldn't completely crack it, having half of its medicinal effects would be usable. He had tried, but there was no mysterious substance; it was just an ordinary, unremarkable formula.

They're everywhere. Remembering his wife saying she really liked Lin Yue, and that she was pretty and about the same age as his son, he immediately went along with his wife's suggestion and wanted to encourage his son to pursue her.

If we could really marry Lin Yue and make her our daughter-in-law, then she would belong to our family in the future.

"Dad, I'm focused on my career now, and I've been like a useless person for years."

Fang Shaofan's hair has grown out a bit, so he now has a buzz cut, but he's already handsome, so it doesn't affect his looks at all.

"What career? Our family company is waiting for you. You insist on starting from the bottom. I don't know what you were thinking."

Fang Ping has two sons. The elder son is Fang Shaofan, and the younger son graduated from university and is now pursuing a master's degree, but he hasn't graduated yet.

"Dad, do you want me to bankrupt your company as soon as I take office?" Fang Shaofan was a very pragmatic person.

"Um, could you go and talk to Ms. Lin again and see if you can buy a few more bottles of that scar removal medicine? Or, could you talk to her about collaborating and see if you can develop this product? It's a good thing for the public, after all."

Fang Ping was very interested in the ointment that could heal his son's severe burns. Business was tough these days, and if this ointment could be produced, he would make a fortune.

"..."

Fang Shaoyuan squinted at his father. How could he not know what kind of person his father was?

"Miss Lin is my savior. Don't get any funny ideas."

"No, what are you talking about? I'm doing this for her own good. Maybe she feels the same way? Who wouldn't want to make money?"

Fang Ping felt a little guilty, but not much.

"Well then, I'd like to buy a few more bottles. On the one hand, we can keep some as a backup, and on the other hand, as you know I have many friends, they can be given as gifts. You two know each other before, so why don't you take me to meet Miss Lin?"

Fang Ping had talked to his wife and learned that Lin Yue was from a remote mountain village.

She has a little money; seeing that she sold a bottle of medicine for 100,000, she must like money. If you like money, it's not difficult.

"I'll ask her. But don't get involved with her. If she's interested, we can cooperate, but if she's not, then it's off. Dad, you have to promise me you'll keep it a secret and not tell anyone."

Fang Shaofan sent a message to Lin Yue, but the contact information was still the one his mother had given him.

Lin Yue had eaten wild boar meat, and compared to the regular meat she had eaten before, wild boar meat was more filling.

However, the snake in the space had already grown so big that even if she wanted to throw it out, she couldn't release it nearby. Besides, she didn't eat snake meat and was psychologically averse to it.

This stinking snake ate the spiritual flesh in my own space, otherwise I couldn't let it go no matter what. I couldn't let it go no matter what.

The phone rang. Lin Yue glanced at it and saw that it was a message from Fang Shaofan. He actually asked if she was home and said that he was planning to come again in the next couple of days and wanted to buy a few more bottles of scar removal cream.

"When are you coming?" Lin Yue didn't care how many bottles he wanted to buy; she had plenty left over, so she could exchange them for money.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to your place tomorrow." Fang Shaofan lives in the provincial capital, which is a two-hour drive from Lin Yue's third-tier city.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow. Or, you can tell me your address and I'll just mail it to you. Why bother going back and forth?"

"I'll go there myself; after all, your things are very important."

It's a tiny bottle, no bigger than a thumb, worth 100,000 yuan. Who's responsible if it gets lost? It's not the money that's a pity to lose, it's the medicine.

Lin Yue received another message from Zhu Yali, who said she had found a job as a cleaner for a company and would earn 1,200 yuan a month.

Lin Yue scratched her head. Are wages in this city really that low? What can you do with 1,200 yuan? You might as well just set up a stall on the street and sell jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes).

"Why don't you come work as my housekeeper from now on? You can clean the house, take a nap whenever you want, and I'll pay you three thousand," Lin Yue joked. She felt that one thousand two hundred was really not enough to take this job.

"I really mean what you said. Our Yueyue is really rich now, she needs a sugar daddy!"

"Really? You're welcome to come anytime."

One bottle of medicine sold for 100,000 yuan. Based on Zhu Yali's monthly salary of 1,200 yuan, she calculated that it would be enough to hire her for about six or seven years.

"I'd love to come visit you, but my daughter goes to school in the city. It's too far from your home. Otherwise, I'd definitely be happy to come and take care of you."

"Then you can keep going for now. If you don't want to do it anymore, don't force yourself. I'll think about it and see if you want to open a company in the city, I'll pull some strings for you, and make you the general manager. You can just coast along and make money."

Lin Yue texted as she slung her bag over her shoulder and headed out the door. Today, she planned to go deep into the mountains to release the snake from her spatial dimension. Her true form couldn't enter the dimension, so she couldn't do anything about the snake. But the snake was incredibly voracious; it had already devoured the carcasses of the livestock that had starved to death. Lin Yue was worried that it might run into the stone house and then into the warehouse—that would be disastrous.

There are so many things in the warehouse. What if it eats them all and I haven't even succeeded in my cultivation yet, and it becomes a spirit before I do?

"Yueyue, where are you going?"

I ran up the mountain, and the mountain paths were winding. There were pepper groves on both sides of the mountain path, and I would run into villagers every few steps.

"I'm going for a walk in the mountains. Auntie, your Sichuan pepper trees are growing really well."

Lin Yue hated going up the mountain when she was little. It was just her and her grandmother in her family. Other families could drive up the mountain and drive back with the peppercorns they picked. But for her and her grandmother, who were both old and young, not to mention that their fingers would be pricked to pieces by the thorns when picking peppercorns, it was quite a struggle just to go down the mountain.

As she grew older, she became the main breadwinner in the family, doing even more work. Back then, Sichuan peppercorns were still a decent price, around thirty yuan a pound after drying. She was quite motivated. Her tuition was entirely covered by Sichuan peppercorns. Now things are different; more and more Sichuan peppercorn trees are being planted, and they're getting cheaper and cheaper.

Walking a little further up, I didn't see anyone. I quickened my pace; if anyone saw me, they would all think I had just passed by.

It was very cool at the top of the mountain, surrounded by trees, and the grass on the ground was half a person tall.

Lin Yue felt that this place was suitable, so she threw the large snake, which had already come out of the livestock farm and was still looking for food, out of the space.

When she first saw it, it was about five or six meters long, but when she threw it again, she was shocked to find it was over ten meters long and thicker than her waist.

Its grayish-brown scales gleamed faintly, its markings were clear and swirling with spiritual energy, and its head was enormous, flicking its forked tongue. Although Lin Yue had cultivated, she was naturally afraid of snakes and was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.

As soon as I realized what was happening, I tried to run away, terrified of being targeted by that giant snake.

Moreover, because of its large size, when it was chasing her, she could hear the sound of it crushing grass and trees and rapidly rubbing against the ground.

"Hey, don't come any closer!"

Lin Yue looked back as she ran.
