"Thanks to Boss Luo's timely reminder, many demons in our realm would have been wiped out by now."
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Bai Li, the Demon King, gnawed on the dried fish from the Good Fortune shop, paused at the question, and looked expectantly at Luo Yunshi under the gaze of the assembled demons.
"Fairy Luo, you are human, so you understand humans better. You and that man stopped the fight just now. You must have spoken privately while we were fighting, right? What do you think we should do?"
Bai Li rummaged through his person, pulling out a palm-sized ginseng fruit that was exuding fragrance and spiritual energy, and offered it to Luo Yunshi before continuing.
"If you can truly prevent the human realm from attacking the demon realm, our demon realm will surely repay Fairy Luo handsomely."
Luo Yunshi remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly. "Indeed, I have discussed some beneficial cooperation for the demon realm with that man. However, he only represents one faction with influence. Therefore, I cannot be entirely certain if this matter will succeed."
Subsequently, Luo Yunshi and Bai Li went to a private room alone and set up a barrier to discuss the cooperation plan. Bai Li nodded and said with a sincere expression.
"Humans have a saying: 'The debt of saving a life is repaid with one's own life.' Furthermore, this is a great debt for saving our entire demon realm. If the plan truly succeeds, would you like to be my Demon Queen?"
Luo Yunshi was rendered speechless by the Demon King's direct words. Weren't they just discussing important matters? How did the topic suddenly veer off course like this?
"Or, Fairy, would you take me back to the Immortal Realm with you?" Bai Li added.
After all, once matters in the demon realm were settled, he would try to ascend again. If he went with the Fairy, wouldn't he be able to explore without undergoing tribulations? And have all the dried fish from such a large shop to eat as he pleased?
Bai Li thought of many things in a moment, then suddenly transformed into his smaller, ordinary kitten form, flipping onto his back. His round, large eyes looked up at Luo Yunshi, and his fluffy right paw gently patted Luo Yunshi's hand as if asking for pets and to be taken care of.
So cute. No one could resist a cute cat's plea for attention. However, there was no need for her to repay him with her life. Just letting her pet him for a while would suffice.
Subconsciously, she reached out and petted the fluffy cat paw, then immediately came to her senses and withdrew her hand, offering a polite smile.
"Your Majesty, this is not a debt of saving a life. It was merely a transaction from the shop. If the plan truly succeeds and the demon realm remains peaceful, the Heavenly Dao will also record a merit for me. Of course, if you truly wish to give me a small gift as a token of your appreciation, I won't haughtily refuse, lest you feel uneasy."
Bai Li did not revert to human form. He nodded cutely and said, "Okay." In a blink of an eye, he disappeared from the private room.
Luo Yunshi put away the ginseng fruit and returned to the shop counter to cultivate her spells, calmly awaiting news from Ruan Litian.
Although the shop was filled with minor demons, it was incredibly safe, and the management by the Demon King and his subordinates was quite orderly.
·
The next day, the weather was clear and sunny, without a cloud in the sky. Early in the morning, system Xiao Qi delivered good news from the human realm.
Ruan Litian was a man of great means. With the system's assistance, employing various tactics and grand promises, he had transformed the Han Kingdom overnight. His father abdicated, and he became the leader.
After becoming the leader, he quickly united several major forces and, through some maneuvers, eliminated the other opposing forces overnight. The major forces in the human realm were reshuffled, and his influence became even stronger, with others subtly recognizing him as the leader.
Luo Yunshi was astounded and analyzed with system Xiao Qi in her mind.
"Ruan Litian is indeed a ruthless and decisive individual. To gain support and eliminate opposing forces overnight shows how many spies he had embedded in other factions over the years."
"Yes, he was no ordinary person in his previous life. With the memories of his past life and his family's upbringing since childhood in this life, he certainly wouldn't be lacking," Xiao Qi agreed.
At noon, Luo Yunshi received messages from both Demon King Bai Li and Ruan Litian.
Subsequently, Ruan Litian and Demon King Bai Li, each leading a group of subordinates, arrived at Good Fortune. Luo Yunshi, with her robots, greeted them at the main entrance of Good Fortune and led them to the villa's conference room.
With the arrival at Good Fortune, Luo Yunshi felt more confident and no longer feared any petty tricks.
Both the human and demon sides were willing to cooperate, and the negotiations proceeded smoothly. It was ultimately decided that the barrier would open once a year for three months, serving as a period of inter-realm tourism and exchange.
The area along the path from the barrier to Good Fortune would be designated as a tourist zone within a specified range. Human cultivators could travel and sightsee within the tourist zone during the tourism month. Other areas in the demon realm would remain off-limits. Demon cultivators could travel, study, and live within the designated tourist zones in the human realm during the tourism month. Other areas would also be prohibited.
The conference also established more detailed tourism plans and a contract between the human and demon realms. The most crucial clause in the contract stipulated fifty years of peace between the two realms. This was undoubtedly beneficial to Good Fortune in every way.
For demon cultivators in the demon realm, it provided more time for learning and improvement. For human cultivators in the human realm, it temporarily resolved the resource shortage caused by war. As for whether to attack and occupy the demon realm after 500 years, that would depend on the demon realm's strength at that time. After all, in the path of cultivation, strength dictates authority.
The conference concluded successfully, and Ruan Litian directed a host of cultivators to conduct a massive sweep of Good Fortune.
All the supplies in the Jia Le Fu supermarket were bought out, and after reappearing and refreshing, they were bought out again and again.
Seeds from the seed store were repeatedly swept clean.
The fried chicken shop, cake shop, sushi shop, clothing store, and so on, experienced the same.
Initially, the cultivators believed that Good Fortune only stocked ordinary but essential items like food. It wasn't until someone bought a bento box from Good Fortune's fast food restaurant and used its medical pod that they were utterly astonished.
"The food in this bento box is not only delicious, but it also contains not a trace of impurity. The spiritual energy flows into the body and into the dantian so smoothly, it's simply amazing."
"What kind of divine shop is this? It's real! Even the ingredients in the Mala Tang have spiritual energy and no impurities. I've been abstaining from grains for so many years, and now I can eat such magical Mala Tang. I have a great fortune ahead of me! It's too miraculous."
"This is nothing. What's even more miraculous is the medical pod. Its healing effect is even more potent than that of cultivators with wood element spiritual roots. Even those on the brink of death can be healed to perfection. You know, our researchers haven't yet developed a special medicine that achieves perfect healing effects."
The cultivators whispered amongst themselves, their perception of Luo Yunshi's status rising involuntarily. At the same time, they tried to buddy up with the minor demons from the demon realm, like good brothers, to pry information about Luo Yunshi's true identity.
There were many naive minor demons in the demon realm, and even the less naive ones, perhaps to intimidate the cultivators, praised Luo Yunshi as being beyond compare in the heavens and earth.
When the cultivators learned that Luo Yunshi was a top-tier immortal from the Immortal Realm, all they felt was awe.
Some even discussed and praised her in hushed tones after leaving the Good Fortune shop.
"No wonder the shop's supplies can automatically replenish, the fast food contains spiritual energy, and the medical pods are so miraculous. And an ultimate move that could kill a Nascent Soul cultivator is ineffective. It turns out the shop owner is an immortal. No wonder, no wonder."
Mom, I saw an immortal today!
······
From then on, May 27th, Year 263 of the Cultivation Era, became the Inter-Realm Tourism Festival.
Every year, at the start of the tourism festival, Good Fortune became a must-visit destination for tourism and shopping, with people coming and going.
