Making Money Used to Be Just Making Money; Now It Was for Survival

Dragon Duke bowed immediately. "Please speak, young master."

Lin Hai smiled and said, "The first method is to completely heal Miss Yiran, restoring her body and Soul Power to their pre-injury state."

"In that case, you don't need to do anything for me for the time being; just consider it as owing me a favor."

"The second approach is to break down and rebuild. I can not only heal her, but also further enhance her strength and talent."

"His Soul Power Level can reach Soul Ancestor, and his talent..."

Considering that Meng Yiran only broke through to the Soul Elder at the age of sixteen, Innate Soul Power was at most level six, he conservatively said:

"It is no less than the innate ninth-level Soul Power."

"But this treatment will come at a considerable cost. Therefore, I need the two of you to serve me for ten years."

"You can decide for yourselves how to choose."

Upon hearing this, both the Dragon Duke and Snake Matriarch's eyes lit up with surprise.

Before today, their greatest wish was simply to restore their granddaughter to her former state.

But now, things have taken a turn for the better. His Soul Ancestor realm cultivation, his innate ninth-level Soul Power ... coupled with the astonishing strength and potential Lin Hai has displayed...

Ten years? Ten years isn't enough!

Almost simultaneously, the two looked at Meng Yiran—

They practically wanted to be promoted to a higher generation on the spot and become family with Lin Hai!

However, after the initial excitement, they decided to keep it to themselves for the time being.

Whether Lin Hai has feelings for his granddaughter remains to be seen. Bringing it up now would be too abrupt.

The two exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other's thoughts, and said in unison:

"We choose the second option! We are willing to serve you, sir, for ten years!"

The deal has now been resolved to a happy ending for everyone.

Flame Water Jade's [Withered Tree Revitalization] could even remove the Asura Divine Power from Gu Yuena's body, let alone Meng Yiran's injuries.

As for the so-called "destruction before construction," it simply means first healing the person with the Flame Water Jade, and then having her consume a Elixir Pill made from Immortal Herb.

Coincidentally, there was still one Elixir Pill left from the original "Earth Dragon Golden Gourd" and "Blood Swan Kiss" that could be used on Meng Yiran.

After witnessing their granddaughter's recovery, the Dragon Duke and Snake Matriarch left her at the Ye Family and departed.

They claimed that "we feel more at ease knowing he's still by the young master's side."

If Ye Yunyao hadn't caught a glimpse of the barely suppressed smile on the elderly couple's lips as they turned to leave, she would almost have believed their lies.

These two are probably secretly hoping that something "worrying" will happen to their granddaughter!

Thinking of the unconventional Meng Yiran, the alluring Dugu Yan, the wildly unrestrained Liu Erlong in private, and her own daughter who could be slapped to tears...

Ye Yunyao felt a deep sadness in her heart.

The next morning, Lin Hai left the Ye Family feeling somewhat guilty.

Just as Ye Yunyao had thought, Ye Lingling was simply too intolerant.

He didn't know what to do about it. How can he help her overcome her fear of pain?

It's one thing for her to cry a little during battle, but this girl also talks in her sleep in the middle of the night.

Shouting things like "It's you again... cactus... get away, don't prick me..." left Lin Hai both amused and exasperated.

This is not the first time.

He felt guilty because he knew better than anyone else the origin of this "cactus"!

In the past two years, he had learned from Ye Lingling that his injection back then had terrified the mother and daughter, and they had been living in fear for a long time.

That's why he hasn't talked to them about the Blood One yet.

When Lin Hai returned to the academy, the eleven Shrek Academy team members and several senior members were gathered in the conference room.

He smiled and greeted everyone, then naturally found a seat and sat down.

At this moment, Flender pushed up his glasses and said with a frustrated look:

"Given that none of you are able to appreciate the team uniforms that I, the dean, have painstakingly designed, I have no choice but to respect your opinions, lower my artistic standards, and redesign a version."

He took out a pile of clothes of various colors, neatly folded, and said:

"Two sets each, come and get them yourselves!"

Just as the team members, beaming with the joy of victory, stepped forward to receive their new team uniforms, Flender's lips curled into a subtle smile as he slowly added:

"The colors and styles are to your liking, but don't try to bargain with me about the business opportunities!"

"Ah?!"

"Dean, are you obsessed with money?!"

"Dean, didn't Rong Rong's family and the royal family sponsor two million Gold Soul Coin? Is the academy really that short of money?"

"..."

The trainees immediately burst into wails.

You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth! Who was it that said the dean had a change of heart?!

Zhao Wuji and the others smiled knowingly; their leader had brought back Shrek Academy's "good traditions" again.

Young people shouldn't have everything go too smoothly!

In an instant, the conference room became a stage for all sorts of human interaction.

Everyone felt either contempt, resentment, relief, or helplessness.

Lin Hai, however, was looking up at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

Time quickly came to the opening day of the Spirit Master Competition.

Early in the morning, Flender' heart-wrenching, tearful roar echoed from the dean's office in the teaching building:

"Who the hell stole my money?! All my savings—!!!"

"... tmd... wbd... wr... gan!!"

Today marks the opening of the competition. Although most of the time was spent on team showcases and speeches, there was only one Exhibition Match.

However, the first round of match draws will be held today, and the betting odds at the Great Soul Arena and various casinos will also open one after another.

Flender rushed to the dean's office early in the morning, eager to withdraw money to place bets!

But the result was that—

The money he had saved over the years, the surplus from the Blue Tyrant Academy, the money Lin Hai had handed over for various reasons, the money sponsored by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the royal family, and the first round of fees paid by Shang...

A total of over three million Gold Soul Coin were swept away.

At that moment, his heart was bleeding!

He hurled insults at the air for a full fifteen minutes before leaving the dean's office, looking utterly dejected.

Upon arriving at the restaurant and noticing the gaps in the uniforms of the eleven cadets, Flender's heart stirred once more, and he sighed inwardly:

'Sigh, the gap is still too small, I can't even see clearly! Only the two larger ones can squeeze in...'

Lin Hai was clean, and with his handsome face, he could definitely fetch an astronomical price.

But... he didn't dare!

Flender walked to the dining table and sat down, speaking expressionlessly:

"Hongjun, Tailong, there are still spots left on your team jerseys. I'll talk to you about two more later, and you can earn two more commissions."

Liu Erlong could no longer contain herself. She slammed her chopsticks on the table with a "bang" and roared:

"Boss Fu, are you out of your mind?! What are you going to do with all that Gold Soul Coin you've earned?"

Flender was momentarily speechless, then remained silent for a moment before muttering under his breath:

"What for... I hadn't really thought about it before. But now... it's for eating!"
