Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Yue Jianghan immediately swallowed his saliva, then grabbed Erhei beside him and dragged the boy out of the restaurant.

"Let's go eavesdrop... oops, let's go on patrol!"

What the hell is this patrol...?

Erhei couldn't argue with his young mistress, so he had no choice but to pay for the drinks. Then, together with Yue Jianghan, they jumped off the fifth floor of the restaurant and landed at the corner of the street.

Dressed in a blue feathered robe, Yue Jianghan peeked out from behind the wall like a thief, his gaze falling on Ye Yuchan, who was covering her head and looking so aggrieved that she was about to cry. Then he frowned, turned his face to the side, and quietly listened to the conversation.

Machinery manufacturing...?

Demon Lord?

A master of formations?

Dragon scales?

After listening to this series of conversations, Yue Jianghan felt a little itchy inside, and a feeling called curiosity easily took over the top of Yue Jianghan's consciousness.

She glanced at Erhei behind her, who was staring at the meat bun shop not far away, seemingly having not eaten enough at the restaurant.

Yue Jianghan stomped his foot in anger and tugged at Erhei's ear, causing the latter to cry out in pain.

"No, no, no, Miss, please be gentle..."

"What are you looking at? Hurry up!"

"What do you mean 'hurry up'?" Erhei was completely confused.

"Hurry up and come with me, pretend you're just passing by, okay?"

Erhei blinked: "Huh?"

"Oh, never mind that, hurry up!!"

……

……

"I heard you're looking for a tool maker?"

With a serene yet slightly aloof smile on her face, Yue Jianghan walked slowly, exuding the air of a noble lady, accompanied by a servant whose eyes were covered with a black cloth.

The attendant's expression was also extremely cold, and his eyes, hidden under the black cloth, seemed to shoot out a sinister cold light at any moment.

—Of course, only Erhei himself knew that the young lady covered her eyes with a black cloth because she thought those purplish eyes were too unseemly.

Erhei stood with his hands behind his back, striking a majestic pose, and began to put Yue Jianghan in charge.

Ye Yuchan stared at this distinguished guest from the Lantian Empire with a gloomy expression. If she remembered correctly, this Yue Jianghan was the adopted daughter of the Demon Emperor and the young lady of the Demon Dynasty!

What is she doing here?

Fan Luo Kui had absolutely no liking for Yue Jiang Han. She directly gripped the hilt of the knife, held it horizontally in front of her, and signaled Yue Jiang Han not to get too close.

At the same time, he said coldly, "Our search for toolmakers seems to have nothing to do with you."

That's not necessarily true.

Yue Jianghan chuckled twice: "Our chamber of commerce has gathered almost all the most famous craftsmen in the entire Desolate Heaven Domain. With their skills, as long as you give them a few pieces of iron, they can forge some powerful divine weapons for you."

"If you are really looking for a toolmaker, I might be able to help you."

After speaking, she turned her gaze to Jiang Shaoguang.

Jiang Shaoguang noticed the other person's gaze and subconsciously thought it was a trap, so he lowered his voice and said calmly, "That's not necessary. We don't want to owe Miss Yue a favor."

Yue Jianghan's heart trembled, then she bit her lower lip and said, "But it seems you have no other choice. There are no famous craftsmen in this Cold Seal City."

"Besides, I'm not working for you for free; you still have to pay a small price."

—Most of the pies that fall from the sky are poisonous.

Yue Jianghan was well aware of this.

If you give it away for free, it will definitely arouse the other party's suspicion. But if you add a financial benefit to it, the other party will usually lower their guard.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan suddenly became nervous: "How much?!"

Yue Jianghan nodded slightly and smiled, "Hmm...that depends on what kind of tool you're going to create. Generally speaking, there's no upper limit~"

Upon hearing this, the four exchanged glances, seemingly trying to confirm Yue Jianghan's credibility.

But in the end, it seems that more people still distrust Yue Jianghan.

Gu Xingzhu shook his head, pushed up his glasses, and said in a deep and cold tone, "Then let's be frank. What we need to build is a tool specifically designed to deal with the Demon Dynasty."

"Even so, are you still willing to build it for us, Miss of the Demon Dynasty?"

"Specifically designed to deal with the Demon Dynasty?"

Yue Jianghan immediately thought of the two demon lords that her father had previously sent to this far eastern snowfield to collect the Dragon Cough Virus.

A little thought reveals that they are probably planning to attack the Demon Dynasty territory where the two Demon Lords reside.

Just when Ye Yuchan and the others thought Yue Jianghan would give up,

Yue Jianghan suddenly showed a very gentle smile: "It's alright, even if it's used to deal with the Demon Dynasty, I'm happy to help you."

"...Huh?" Ye Yuchan was a little confused.

Fan Luokui and Jiang Shaoguang also had strange expressions, and Gu Xingzhuo was so shocked that his facial muscles twitched wildly (after all, he had never made a truly shocked expression in his life, and now he could only twitch a couple of times to express his inner shock).

They almost all thought there was something wrong with their ears.

The young lady of the Demon Dynasty.

The Demon Emperor's adopted daughter.

Such a person, upon hearing that the artifact he needed to forge was specifically designed to deal with the Demon Dynasty, was actually quite willing to help them.

What kind of twisted logic is this?!

Fan Luokui and Jiang Shaoguang exchanged a glance, unwilling to believe Yue Jianghan's words at all.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Don't look at me like that.

Yue Jianghan naturally understood their doubts: "I am a businessman. A businessman is someone who will stop at nothing to maximize his own profits."

"Although I am indeed a member of the Demon Dynasty, I don't have any deep relationship with those two Demon Lords. Their good or bad deeds are none of my concern, nor are their lives or deaths. To put it bluntly, I only care about my own interests."

"As long as you are willing to pay a price that I can accept, it is not impossible for me to forge divine weapons for you."

She stared at Jiang Shaoguang with interest, then added, "Of course, if you're not comfortable with this, you can sign an agreement. This agreement is based on the principles of Heaven's justice. You shouldn't feel uneasy about Heaven's actions, right?"

Yue Jianghan's words reached everyone's ears without missing a single one.

They remained silent for a long time, seemingly thinking of Old Hu, who was still resting in Luojiang Prefecture, and the frozen North Ice Palace.

Fan Luokui took a deep breath and then asked, "In that case, what price do you want?"

"Well..."

Yue Jianghan stared intently at Jiang Shaoguang, licking his lips with a strange look in his eyes.

24. Who knows?

Ye Yuchan and the others thought that Yue Jianghan would make some very unreasonable demands.

But she didn't seem to intend to start with money from the beginning, so her request was simply—

Please come and visit our chamber of commerce.

Ye Yuchan repeatedly asked Yue Jianghan if he had any other intentions in asking her to "sit down," but Yue Jianghan kept denying it, saying that he simply wanted to receive a few distinguished guests.

This unusual behavior undoubtedly aroused the suspicion of Ye Yuchan and others.

Fan Luokui even considered rejecting Yue Jianghan and instead seeking out other craftsmen herself.

In response, Yue Jianghan showed considerable sincerity.

She simply handed each person a Jiang Han token.

With this token, one can freely enter and leave the vast Jianghan Chamber of Commerce and be treated as an honored guest.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing special about it, but upon closer inspection, this action almost completely exposes their headquarters to Ye Yuchan and the others' sight, allowing them to come and go as they please.

That certainly shows great sincerity.

But problems soon followed—

"What exactly is Jiang Han after this month...?"

After leaving Hanyin City, sitting in the carriage that Yue Jianghan had prepared in advance, Ye Yuchan looked through the paper window on the side of the carriage at the ornately decorated carriage that had traveled with them—she rested her chin on her hand listlessly and muttered a few words: "They seem to have ulterior motives towards us, but what exactly are they after..."

Ye Yuchan couldn't understand it.

Why is Yue Jianghan, the adopted daughter of the Demon Emperor of the Demon Dynasty, a high-ranking young lady, bothering to cause trouble with them?

You have to understand that the Demon Emperor's decree to kill them was still hanging in the sky, and all the demon cultivators under heaven wished they could skin them alive. Yet Yue Jianghan is trying to get closer to them.

Could it be... a story of a loving father and a filial son?

Ye Yuchan's mind became increasingly confused and strange, so she simply lay down and gave up thinking.

“There’s no use thinking about it any further.” Fan Luokui knew this. She sat down next to Jiang Shaoguang, holding the scabbard, and said calmly, “Yue Jianghan does have other plans, but we don’t know the specifics yet. But since we’ve already decided to let them forge the dragon scales, we can only take it one step at a time.”

Gu Xingzhuo nodded and agreed, "Just in case, we need to personally supervise the forging process."

"That's what they say..."

Ye Yuchan lay on the soft bed in the carriage, rolling around and wrinkling the bed. Then she frowned with a serious expression, as if she had remembered something.

She suddenly remembered that Yue Jianghan's gaze towards her third senior brother seemed a little strange.

Do these two have some kind of story?

Or……

Ye Yuchan suddenly sat up from the bed and stared at Jiang Shaoguang and Fan Luokui for a long time.

Under their bewildered gazes, Yu Chan suddenly blurted out, "Third Senior Brother, may I ask you something first—are you having an affair?"

Boom!
