Chapter 450: Quick Ways to Make Money
Si Jingzhu was sleeping like a log.
It was as if she had never slept so soundly in her life.
Clearly, she wasn’t dreaming, yet it felt like she had spent an entire night in a romantic dream.
When she woke up in the morning, the lingering warmth of Young Master Sang in the blanket made her feel even more bashful and happy.
“Ugh… this feels so good.”
“Turns out sleeping in Sang Zhe’s arms is such a blissful thing.”
“Ah… just thinking about Little Ying and the others who have already experienced this every day makes me so envious.” She buried her head in the blanket and couldn’t help rolling around shyly.
Finally, she dragged herself out of bed, wishing to savor the lingering scent of Young Master Sang a little longer.
Sigh.
If only people could sleep in bed for a lifetime, Si Jingzhu thought gloomily.
When she came to the courtyard, Yan Rouwan was still feeding the cats. Master Yu Xia was watering flowers in the garden, and Long Huan was closely following Zhang Xiaoying, diligently learning to do housework.
“I say,” Hua Jianglian, who was curled up in a chair flipping through comics, peeked out with a pair of vigilant eyes, looking at Long Huan, “Why would a little princess from the demon clan want to learn how to do housework?”
“What little princess from the demon clan.”
Long Huan sweetly said, “Since I’ve married into the Sang family, I’m no longer a little princess. I’m now Young Master Sang’s wife.”
“Wives need to fulfill their duties well and be good partners for their husbands.”
“Good thing I have Sister Xiaoying to guide me; otherwise, with my pampered upbringing, who knows how long it would take me to learn.”
Hua Jianglian’s eyes twinkled, but she turned her head back into the chair with a pout, muttering unhappily:
“…Tch. What’s with the rolling.”
Si Jingzhu approached Yan Rouwan and quietly asked, “Where’s Young Master Sang?”
“He? He went to the company early this morning.”
Yan Rouwan said, “He mentioned something about finding Miss Shui Ming. Not sure what it was about.”
Si Jingzhu suddenly felt a bit down, “Oh.”
“What’s with that gloomy face? Did you not get it done last night, Senior Sister Si?”
Facing Yan Rouwan’s teasing, Si Jingzhu’s cheeks turned red, but she stubbornly replied, “N-no way! We had a blast last night! We played all night long, and by dawn, he still didn’t want to leave, saying he wanted to do it again!”
As her words settled, she suddenly realized.
The Sang residence fell into silence.
Everyone was staring at her.
Long Huan: “…Looks like nothing happened.”
Zhang Xiaoying: “Didn’t succeed, huh?”
Hua Jianglian: “You really had a whole night of nothing happening?”
Seeing the three of them looking at her with pity, Si Jingzhu couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and angry, mumbling, “W-what! Don’t you believe me?”
“Or, is it that… my words are really full of holes…?”
Long Huan: “Very obvious.”
Zhang Xiaoying: “Very obvious.”
Hua Jianglian: “You could tell just by listening.”
“Ah?” Si Jingzhu said, feeling defeated as she hung her head.
Curious, Master Yu Xia asked Yan Rouwan softly, “Why did the ladies know right away? What was obvious?”
“…I’ve never done it with Young Master Sang. How would I know?” Yan Rouwan awkwardly turned away.
“Because you only mentioned the first time. If you really had a whole night, wouldn’t you be too tired to get up now?” Long Huan explained.
Zhang Xiaoying nodded in agreement, “You’d probably sleep till night.”
Hua Jianglian rolled her eyes, “Still clinging to you saying to do it again… How could that even happen? One time would be enough for you.”
The trio’s words made Si Jingzhu’s face feel hot; tears welled up in her eyes as she covered her face and ran away crying.
“Waa! Just you wait!”
“One day, I’ll make Sang Zhe unable to leave me for an entire night!”
Once Si Jingzhu dashed back to her room, everyone raised their shoulders helplessly and continued their own tasks.

Demon Cultivators, Floating Splendor Commerce’s office at the Demon Cult.
“…Quick ways to make money?”
In the office, Bai Ming curiously sat on a chair, munching on snacks while asking, “Why do you suddenly need money? I haven’t even come to collect my debts yet.”
“It’s not that we’re short on cash.”
Sang Zhe didn’t know how to explain the impending arrival of gods and demons but could only say, “Let’s just say, a new dungeon is about to open.”
“But my level and gear are still lagging behind the version a bit; the only way to catch up quickly is to splurge on a bunch of 648 packages or so.”
“So, do you get it now?”
Bai Ming suddenly understood: “You’re talking about using the Earthly Buddha’s Nucleus, right?”
Sang Zhe nodded.
Even though he had the strength to traverse the entire human realm easily, soon, when the gods and demons arrived, his current power might not be enough.
Even if he couldn’t break through the ceiling of this world, at least he needed to elevate his skills to their peak before they arrived.
Like the level of Li Shanyan.
However, starting to cultivate now would definitely be too late; the fastest and easiest way was to rely on the Earthly Buddha’s Nucleus for microtransactions.
“However, to elevate to the late stage of the Great Ascension or even its peak, the amount of spirit stones required is just ridiculous.”
Bai Ming thought for a moment, “This is no longer just a simple numbers issue.”
“That’s why I’m here seeking your help.”
Sang Zhe said earnestly, “Though you’re an unscrupulous and heartless capitalist, there’s nobody better than you when it comes to money-making.”
“…Hey, you’re actually asking me for a favor. Can’t you say something nice?”
Bai Ming pouted and then said quietly, “But to be honest, with the strength of your Demon Cult now, you could just tax people and rob them directly.”
“After all, there’s nobody in the whole human realm who can resist the Demon Cult anymore, right?”
“That won’t do; that’s just too unethical.”
Sang Zhe shook his head decisively: “At least we must be gentlemen and earn money through fair means.”
“But even our Floating Splendor Commerce’s profitability can’t generate cash in a short time. After all, for the business to run, most of our assets are fixed properties, and the cash flow isn’t that outrageous.”
“However, the quick way to make money you mentioned, I think of one.”
Sang Zhe immediately perked up, ears wide open.
“You know, what industry in our commerce has the highest return with no investment?”
“It’s the Canghong Pavilion. Those fairy-like men just livestream their charming poses, drawing in viewers who endlessly shower them with money. There’s hardly any costs, and the profit margins are extremely high.”
“So, if you want to make money quickly without much expense…” Bai Ming said with a mysterious smile.
“Then just listen to me.”
