I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

“Delicious!” Ling Pingan happily finished his breakfast, patted his bulged belly, and happily leaned back in his chair.

Meow!

The kitten, who had also shared the two steamed dumplings with crab roe, purred softly, expressing its great agreement with its master’s praise.

He raised his head and looked at the television that was broadcasting the news.

“The spokesperson of the Ministry of Education of the Federal Empire announced at the press conference this morning that the preparations for this year’s college entrance examination are proceeding in an orderly manner… it is expected that this year’s college entrance examination will begin with the Xisong Kingdom, followed by the metropolitan territory, Beizhou, Nanzhou…

“It is expected that this year’s college entrance examination candidates will reach 31.5 million… slightly higher than last year’s…”

Looking at the news footage, one by one, the well-known institutions of the federal empire flashed through his mind.

The Central University of Xia, the Federal University of Technology, the Capital College of Technology, Guangnan University…

Ling Pingan sighed.

“Thinking back to that year, I also had the ambition to enter the first-rated institution…”

However, in the end, he was too bad at math, physics, and chemistry, so he could only go to a second-rate university.

And that was all thanks to his parents!

Thinking of this, the graduate scholar felt a little embarrassed and turned off the TV.

When he walked out of the door, he heard Aunt Cai, who was next door, talking with her neighbors about how hard her daughter was working.

“Let me tell you…”

“Recently, my daughter has been working hard…”

“She reads books every day… does exercises…”

“My son too!” The neighbor next door also sighed. “This year, the children in this neighborhood are especially hard-working…”

“I heard that… the fortune here is good, and it’s the land of Wenqu Star!”

“Well…” Aunt Cai said casually, “I also heard about it…”

“I’m not going to hide this from you…”

“Recently, the prices of the houses in the neighborhood seem to have started to rise…”

“The house of the Zhang family in the front street was just sold yesterday… 30,000 yuan per square meter!”

The woman gasped in a breath of cold air. “30,000 yuan per square meter? The house of the Zhang Family?”

“That’s right!” Aunt Cai said, “Someone also came to inquire about the price of the house of my family… and they asked for 40,000 yuan…”

“But I rejected them!”

“My daughter will take the college entrance exam next year…”

Ling Pingan was a little surprised when he heard that.

Because he knew the Zhang family that Aunt Cai mentioned.

Behind this alley was an old house that was decades old. It didn’t face the street, and the wiring was old.

It was worth at most 20,000 yuan per square meter!

Just like that, those who were willing to buy it were probably trying their luck and waiting for the demolition of that place!

After all, that was an old industrial area.

The infrastructure was very lacking and could not be compared to the new city district at all.

As for the house of Aunt Cai’s family, Ling Pingan was also familiar with it!

The street at the south of the old industrial park and was in the old dormitory of the former management office of the industrial park.

It was the kind of apartment building that had been built decades ago. There was no elevator or property.

The walls were covered with cripples, and the staircases were covered with advertisements.

In the past, it was at most 20,000 yuan.

How did it rise to 40,000 yuan?

The new residential area in the new city district was only around 60,000 yuan?

Ling Pingan’s heart pounded when he heard this.

He quickly returned to the shop.

“Bastet…” he hugged his pet and stroked its fur. “My assets seem to have increased again!”

The shop was ancestral property.

This meant that even the land was his.

So, as long as he was willing to sell it, it would be at least tens of millions.

Now…

The prices of the houses around here were rising. Naturally, the prices of his shop would also rise.

And his assets would naturally…

“I am the chosen one!” The young bookstore owner was extremely happy.

However, he was just happy.

He didn’t mean anything by it.

He wasn’t interested in money!

He just needed money enough for spending!

His creed in life was laze around.

Besides, what was he going to do with a large sum of money after selling the bookstore?

Wasn’t it the same as now, playing games and writing novels?

Since that was the case, why bother?

Therefore, Ling Pingan was only happy for a moment.

..

He Rourou raised her head and looked at the property she had just bought.

The corners of Lion City’s princess’ mouth curled up slightly.

“My investment will be a big hit!” She was full of confidence. Then, she turned her head to look at the servant beside her and said, “Continue to speed up the acquisition of the nearby properties…”

“Grab as much as you can!”

“Yes!” The loyal servant hurriedly nodded.

No one had any objections to the Lion City Princess’s decision.

This was because, in the past few years, this young lady had already used successful mergers and transactions to convince everyone.

The properties that she invested in could always make money!

Walking to the old staircase, He Rourou looked at the dilapidated courtyard downstairs.

She smiled lightly. “It’s worth it! It’s worth it!”

This old house belonged to the old unit building.

It was a former staff building of a processing factory, but that factory had already moved. The remaining dormitory building could only be used for renting out.

However, with the decline of the old city district and the rise of the new city district.

There weren’t many rentals here, so it was basically in the category of unattended.

And now, He Rourou had spent 300 million to purchase the entire courtyard and parking lot of this dormitory building!

She knew that she had made a huge profit!

Because…

She knew that a legend had started to spread in the neighborhood recently. There was fortune from Wenqu Star here, and it was destined that a top student will be born there!

She had done field research, so she knew that it was indeed so. The children in the neighborhood were especially hard-working in their studies.

Almost no one would go out for a walk at night.

Therefore, investing in this place was a sure-win business!

She knew too well how much the people of this land valued education!

“The college entrance exam is coming soon…”

“Once the results are out, the price of the houses here will soar to the sky!” The Lion City princess became excited. “My 300 million investment won’t take long, and I’m afraid it will rise to 3 billion!”

As long as the college entrance exam was held this year, there would be a few high scores in the vicinity and even a batch of high scores!

The Lion City Princess knew that all the houses’ prices would rise.

Perhaps, it would eventually go up to a level even more terrifying than the houses in the school district!

The people in that country would pay anything for education and the sake of the next generation!

… … … ..

Integral lifted her skirt and walked out of the special car.

The servants in holy clothes immediately followed her.

They walked to a simple and unadorned courtyard. A pair of magnificent copper lions stood on both sides of the gate majestically.

The gate was an automatic purple copper door.

Walking up the three layers of Sumeru steps, the purple copper door slowly opened.

An inner wall of ink marble appeared in front of them.

“Duchess, this way please…” a plump merchant walked out from the inner wall and said with a smile.

Integral nodded and followed him.

Through a corridor on both sides of the corridor, numerous quaint villas came into view.

“How is it?” The merchant said with a smile.

“Very good!” Integral nodded.

The man’s smile became even brighter!

Thus, he led Integral and her servants through the courtyard and arrived in front of an antique courtyard.

“Duchess… Everyone…” he said, “This is my ancestral residence…”

“Actually, if it wasn’t for the problem of my business in the capital, I would never sell it!” The merchant said bitterly.

“One billion!” Integral interrupted him and asked directly, “Are you selling it or not?”

The merchant looked at the little girl who was about ten years old, and his eyes were wide open.

His ancestral house was in the most deserted area of the old city, adjacent to the old industrial park.

In the past, when summer came, there would be swarms of mosquitoes, and a lot of manpower and material resources were needed to maintain it. He had long wanted to sell it.

However, they had never been able to sell it for a good price. Other people would only offer 50 million at most, and he would not be able to earn any money with that price!

However, there was nothing he could do!

After all, that was the old city district, and it was in the northern part of the former industrial park, near the sewage outlet.

It was because their ancestors were once manufacturers that they built the house here to facilitate commuting.

It was great now!

The legend of Wenqu star directly made a foreign noble offer one billion!

The merchant’s breathing quickened. “Sir, are you talking about Hua Yuan?”

“Yes… Hua Yuan!” Integral said without blinking. “If you agree, sign the contract immediately!”

One billion might be an incredible amount of money to an ordinary person.

But to Duke Rhein, it was just a drop in the bucket.

After all, Duke Rhein was a true noble who ruled together with the Queen of the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Britannia!

Her immediate ancestor was the most famous extraordinary person in the history of the entire Land of Qin, Duke Van Helsing!

Who knew how many boxes of gold were piled up in the family’s cellar?

Moreover, other than being Duke Rhein, Integral was also a hereditary Marquis of Lorraine, Viscount of Bavaria, Baron of Venice… Her titles were all listed and could fill an entire page.

Therefore, the properties and manors of the Duchess spread over half of the Land of Qin.

The annual income from the rental alone was tens of billions.

With the monopoly of the property, there were probably not many individuals in this country who could match her annual income!

A mere one billion was nothing!

The merchant listened and immediately nodded. “It’s a deal!”

He immediately called for his lawyer. An hour later, the contract was finalized.

Another hour passed, and the transaction was completed.

The house located on the north side of the East City District’s industrial park officially belonged to Duke Rhein, and it was registered as a diplomatic property!

Integral did not care about these things.

After she authorized the servants, she walked into the upper floor of this courtyard alone.

Standing on the roof of the mansion, she looked at the streets in the east, which were isolated by the abandoned factories.

“This is the safe zone!” Alucard’s voice came out from the scepter in her hand.

“Hmm!” Integral nodded.

It was very safe here. Didn’t you see that even the blackguard of this country didn’t interfere with her?

But that place was special too!

The area with the street as the center was forming some kind of special domain.

Originally the domain was silent and could not be discovered by others.

Because it has no psionic energy fluctuations or even abnormal psionic energy reaction!

But…

Within its sphere of influence, however, several special landmarks have emerged.

Children from every household were studying on time.

Even the most mischievous children suddenly wanted to study seriously.

The men who used to stay out all night now returned home on time.

Here, after 10 pm, the drivers would subconsciously go around the nearby streets.

Unless someone explicitly said that they wanted to go this way!

The reason?

There was no reason!

An unknown strength was slowly affecting people.

But it would not hurt people.

It used a special strength and a special way to exaggerate it bit by bit.

Without a doubt, that was the legendary domain.

Just like the Garden of Eden in the legend of Land of Qin.

Adam and Eve enjoyed the grace of God in the Garden of Eden until they made a mistake and were expelled from the Garden of Eden.

And the Garden of Eden had a domain.

It was said that humans could forget all their worries and sorrows and be happy forever.

“Duchess, let’s take it slow…” Alucard said, “We can’t rush it… We definitely can’t rush it…”

Ivy’s death and the disappearance of the Brotherhood were enough to remind them.

But…

Their curiosity drove them to risk their lives to come here.

Alucard and Integral knew that they had to find out what was in that alley.

What happened to Ivy and those people from the Brotherhood?

If they didn’t find out, they might not even know how would they died!

… … ..

In the special personnel rehabilitation center of Jiangcheng City, which had been transformed from the former prison.

The Witch Slaves was reading the book in her hand under the Sun.

“I respect you as the leader, and my father as the leader…” the leader of the Beast Sect, who was determined to become an excellent slave, was reading very seriously.

“Monarch, subject, father, son…”

He was greatly inspired when he read these words that described the principles and ethics.

“The great Godfather ordered us to be Master’s slaves…”

“Master has ordered us to study and reform…”

“So that’s how it is…”

He sighed with emotion. So there was so much knowledge in being a slave.

It was not just serving.

The body and the heart had to be unified!

More importantly, the position had to be set straight!

Otherwise, it would be chaotic!

Just as the book said, if the order of ruler and minister was chaotic and the position of father and son was reversed, then Yin and Yang would be in disorder and the world would collapse.

Therefore, he had to constantly recognize his identity as a slave.

He couldn’t overstep his authority, and he couldn’t use his ignorant and humble wisdom to guess the thoughts of the great ruler.

The more he read the book, the more the Witch Slave was inspired. He understood how ridiculous he was in the past.

No wonder the ruler wanted us to come here to learn… the Witch Slave thought, ‘So it’s like this… so it’s like this!’

He firmly remembered the words: Cardinal guides and constant virtue!

He knew that this was a very important thing.

Raising his head, he saw that in the courtyard in front of him, thirteen former banquets witches and the current members of the Yu family were gathered around a girl who was sent to teach them how to dance and were earnestly learning.

The witch slave nodded.

He felt the Godfather’s praise.

In the past two hundred years, generations of the Pope of the Beast sect had never experienced such a feeling of pleasure.

“So this is the right way to receive the favor of the great Godfather!” The Witch Slave, who felt like he had been reborn, thought.
