Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Li Xiaoyao stared blankly at the beauty of Nie Xiaoqian, as if she was a Heavenly Immortal, before he coughed softly and averted his gaze.

No matter whether Nie Xiaoqian was human or ghost, staring at someone else's woman like that was ultimately impolite.

"Xiaoqian, you rest here for a while, I'll come find you later," Li Xiaoyao touched his nose, trying to relieve his own embarrassment, and said softly.

Nie Xiaoqian nodded slightly, and said, "If the young master is busy, Xiaoqian will wait quietly here for him."

"Mm," Li Xiaoyao felt that he could no longer chat with Nie Xiaoqian. This woman seemed to possess some kind of strange charm; his mind was always affected by her unknowingly.

Li Xiaoyao picked up Master Mo, sensed for a while, and found that Master Mo was only frightened into fainting, without any serious harm to his body.

Outside the shop, several people looked nervously at the pitch-black interior.

Li Xiaoyao had been inside for a while now, with no sound coming from inside, and they didn't even know if Li Xiaoyao was still alive.

If it weren't for the old man standing beside them, calm and composed, Xiao Ya would have called the police by now.

"Thump thump..."

The sound of footsteps arose, jolting everyone to attention, and as they looked towards the noise, they saw Li Xiaoyao emerging from the shop, holding someone in his hand—it was Master Mo!

"Mr. Li!" Xiao Ya let out a breath of relief and shouted joyfully.

Li Xiaoyao came out, casually throwing Master Mo to Shi Dai.

Chairman Ji looked at Master Mo with concern and asked, "How is Master Mo?"

"He was just scared unconscious," Li Xiaoyao said. "The matter is now resolved; you all can go back. Stay away from this kind of place in the future. You're lucky I came today; otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you died."

Hearing Li Xiaoyao speak so gravely, everyone's hearts skipped a few beats.

Xiao Ya frowned and glared at Shi Dai, already deciding in her heart that she would never associate with this man again.

Although Chairman Ji did not speak, he had long come to detest both Shi Dai and Master Mo in his heart.

If Li Xiaoyao hadn't appeared out of the blue tonight, it was uncertain what would have happened to them.

"Regarding tonight's incident, I thank Mr. Li," chairman Ji said. In his eyes, someone like Li Xiaoyao belonged to a group worth ingratiating. If he could befriend such a capable person, it would only do him good and no harm.

"You don't need to flatter yourself. I was only exorcising ghosts from my own shop, not specifically to save you," Li Xiaoyao made his attitude clear, not wanting too much involvement with Chairman Ji. Even though he didn't know Chairman Ji's identity, even if he knew he was the top official of Ling City, Li Xiaoyao's attitude wouldn't change much. Stay connected with empire

Chairman Ji, faced with a rebuttal, didn't take offense and nodded before saying, "Then I shall take my leave first."

Xiao Ya gave Li Xiaoyao a look, approached him, and spoke softly, "Mr. Li, my father recently acquired some Hundred-year Wild Ginseng, and it should be delivered in a couple of days. When it arrives, Xiao Ya will bring it to Mr. Li."

Li Xiaoyao's eyes lit up as he glanced at the smiling Xiao Ya, thinking to himself that this girl knew how to handle things, and said, "Good, give me a call when the wild ginseng is delivered."

Money was not necessarily something Li Xiaoyao valued; with his current abilities, earning money was too easy.

But Hundred-year Wild Ginseng, a medicinal material that one might not be able to buy even with a lot of money, was certainly of interest to Li Xiaoyao.

The Xiao Family sure knew how to hit the right spot.

Since the Xiao Family's offering had caught Li Xiaoyao's eye, he felt that maintaining a certain relationship with the Xiao Family might not be a bad idea.

After Xiao Ya and the others had left, Li Xiaoyao immediately pulled Jiang Lichun to one side, turned back to carefully glance at the shop, and whispered, "Do the immortals in mythical legends truly exist?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Lichun looked at him, his eyes full of peculiarity.

Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Do the Tathagata, Guanyin, the Jade Emperor, these deities really exist?"

Jiang Lichun stared at Li Xiaoyao for a long time, and after a long while, he said, "The so-called deities are nothing more than cultivators who are somewhat stronger!"

"So, the deities in the legends of mythology do indeed exist?" Jiang Lichun's answer was too general, and Li Xiaoyao wanted to know if this world was as he imagined it to be.

"To the best of my knowledge, they indeed exist," Jiang Lichun nodded and said, "History does not lie, the deities from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the gods of Buddhism and Taoism in the myths certainly existed."

"Holy shit!" Li Xiaoyao swung his fist with force, his eyes blazing with excitement.

The deities in the legends of mythology really did exist!

Pangu from the Primordial Era, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of Ancient Times, the supreme Buddha of Buddhism, Dipamkara, Sun Wukong, the Victorious Fighting Buddha...

Each a peerless figure of their eras, representing splendid epochs, Li Xiaoyao had only heard of their names, and his heart was filled with boundless longing!

If I had been born in that Era of Gods and Demons, I would surely have left the most dazzling mark beneath the vast expanse of stars!

Jiang Lichun watched the excited Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

Li Xiaoyao's eyes flickered with a sharp light, but he ultimately did not tell him about the matter regarding Nie Xiaoqian.

He had only known Jiang Lichun for a few days; although he was now a guest elder of the Xuan Sect, he knew neither the roots nor the foundations of Jiang and thought it unwise to discuss it rashly with him.

Li Xiaoyao said, "I was just performing deliverance for some lost spirits and stray ghosts, and the question came to my mind, so I asked casually."

"Oh," Jiang Lichun replied, half-convinced and said, "The lost spirits and stray ghosts in the shop have already been delivered. I'll do a good deed through to the end and arrange an array for this shop to bring you booming business."

"Hey, wait a moment..." Li Xiaoyao hurriedly pulled him back and said, "Why set up an array in the middle of the night? There's no hurry, let's do it some other day."

Jiang Lichun's gaze towards him grew even more doubtful as he said, "Kid, why do I feel like you're acting out of character?"

Li Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, but without any outward show he said, "It's my first time performing deliverance, my spiritual power is somewhat depleted; right now I just want to eat something and get a good night's sleep."

Li Xiaoyao's words were true; he had used up seventy percent of his spiritual power in delivering the spirits, and at this moment his forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat.

Jiang Lichun had an epiphany and no longer harbored any suspicions, saying, "Then head back first, I still have a few pieces of demon beast meat, I'll stew a pot tonight."

Upon hearing 'demon beast meat,' Li Xiaoyao's eyes immediately lit up, and he said, "The medicinal herbs from last time are all used up; just stewing the meat will lack flavor."

Jiang Lichun's lips twitched, and he said, "Seeing how stingy you are, I still have some herbs left, no need for you to provide them."

"Hehe," Li Xiaoyao shamelessly grinned, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed.

Just as the two were about to leave, Li Xiaoyao's phone rang; it was Zhuo Yi calling.

Zhuo Yi hadn't been in touch with Li Xiaoyao for a long time, yet now, in the middle of the night, she was calling him. Could something have happened?

Li Xiaoyao pressed the answer button and stepped aside.

"Hello, Zhuo Yi, what's up?"
