Wanwu Group.

Recently, because the boss was in a happy mood, the employees of Wanwu Group were also having an extremely comfortable time as direct employees of the Demon King, after all the aura of the place where the Demon King was located was obviously richer than other places. In addition, when the Demon King was in a good mood, there was an illusion that every day was the beginning of spring. Sometimes when you were tired from work and inadvertently raised your head, you could feel the petals blooming quietly on the flower branches in the corner and the feeling of spring filling the air.

“Special Assistant Quan, should we start thinking about wedding planning?” During lunch time, the manager of the planning department came over to chat with Quan Juncai.

“It’s still early.” Quan Juncai replied.

“It’s still early. The breath of spring has almost overshadowed the summer.” Their Lord was worthy of being the Demon King. When he was in a good mood, it almost changed the season. In the hot summer, all the companies outside were turning on the air conditioners, but in their company, the temperature was still suitable, neither too cold nor too hot, and occasionally you could see flowers blooming.

“The Demon King’s wife is still in school. We have to wait at least two years.” Quan Juncai said.

“Yes, Master Mi is still a student.” The manager of the planning department sighed. After sighing, the manager of the planning department became worried again, “I have been following him for a while, and I have never seen him have such high and low moods for anyone. Although we should all be happy when our Lord has someone he likes but the human lifespan is really too short. I don’t know what will happen in the future…”

“Your Excellency has a firm mind, so we don’t need to worry about it.” Quan Juncai paused and replied. He had been worried about this matter before, but after learning Fan Chen’s true identity, Quan Juncai knew that the Lord of their family would fall asleep again one day.

“Yes, Lord must have thought of this.” The manager of the planning department planned to stop gossiping about his boss’s love life and start working. “By the way, the purification wind not only purified viruses but also purified a lot of pollution, two pieces of land that were originally to be purified next month have been processed ahead of schedule. The planting department has started sowing, and the green area will be expanded by millions of square kilometers.”

When Quan Juncai thought that when the earth’s ecological balance became restored, it was about for Fan Chen to fall into a deep sleep, his mood was a little subtle, and he didn’t answer for a while.

“But there seems to be a problem with a piece of land in country G.” said the manager of the planning department.

“What’s the problem?” Quan Juncai asked.

“I only found out yesterday after chatting with Manager Li from the development department. It is said that country G has eight million square kilometers of desert. We were about to discuss about buying it, but in the end, we were rejected by the local government for some reason,” said the manager of the planning department, “I don’t know the specifics, but he said that the situation in country G is not good, and there has been some friction with country M recently.”

Wanwu Group was a large multinational company. In addition to demons, there were also humans under its umbrella. As the General Manager’s Assistant, Quan Juncai would of course pay attention to the international situation. When the manager of the planning department said that there was friction between country G and country M, the latest international news immediately appeared in his mind.

“Oops!” Quan Juncai was shocked and stood up from the dining table.

“What’s wrong?” The planning manager was startled.

“Is the land we are talking about in country G a barren, uninhabited land far away from the town?”

“Aren’t the lands we are talking about all such places?” the planning manager replied.

“Oops!” Quan Juncai shouted again, and then, ignoring the surprised look in the planning manager’s eyes, he left the cafeteria and rushed straight to the president’s office.

In the office, Fan Chen had just put on his coat and seemed to be about to go out. Hearing the door to the office being knocked open, he frowned and looked over, looking at the panicked Quan Juncai and asked, “What’s wrong? You’re in a panic.”

“Sir, look at this.” Quan Juncai took the tablet, swiped, opened a page and handed it to Fan Chen.

Fan Chen took it and looked down. There was a news on the screen: Since the beginning of the year, the situation between Country G and Country M has been relatively tense, and the two sides have clashed on the border several times.

“The reason Country M submitted to the United Nations is that it suspects Country G is developing nuclear weapons.” Quan Juncai added from the side.

“Isn’t it already prohibited internationally to develop nuclear weapons? And Country M will use this excuse to bully its small neighboring countries every once in a while.” Fan Chen said.

“I just contacted the development manager of country G. He said that a piece of desert wasteland that we had already negotiated was suddenly forcibly taken back by the government of country G.” Quan Juncai said anxiously, “I am worried that country G is really developing nuclear weapons and they want to use this land as a test explosion site.”

Fan Chen’s fingers holding the tablet computer suddenly tightened, and a solemn look appeared on his face.

“Sir, the damage and pollution caused by nuclear weapons to the land is unparalleled. Even we can’t purify it in less than ten years. Moreover, the radiation from nuclear weapons can also affect the bodies of demons. If country G is really developing nuclear weapons, then let’s do something. If it explodes, it will definitely do a lot of damage to you.” When nuclear weapons were first invented, Quan Juncai was already with Fan Chen. During that time, Fan Chen’s expression was extremely bad. He even thought it was his Lord caring for the environment and felt that it was unbelievable that humans were ruining the earth’s ecology so much. Now that he thought about it, he realised that when a nuclear weapon exploded, it not only damaged the environment, but also caused direct harm to the body of his Lord.

Growing trees was the will of the natural environment, and all harm to the natural environment would be reflected on his Lord. Humanity had reached an agreement through the United Nations that they would no longer privately produce and develop nuclear weapons. Why was it starting again now?

“I understand~~” Fan Chen put down the tablet and replied calmly.

“Sir, what should I do?” Quan Juncai asked anxiously, “Do you want me to go to Country G…”

“You’re not allowed to go.” Fan Chen said coldly.

“Sir, your body can’t bear it anymore. If country G really tests nuclear weapons, your body will completely collapse.”

“I won’t die, you know.”

“What about Master Mi? Even if you will not die, but if your demonic power continues to be depleted, you will still be unable to bear it and fall into a deep sleep again.” Quan Juncai could only use Mi Wan to talk about it. At this time, Master Mi was the only one could shake the Lord’s heart.

Sure enough, after hearing Mi Wan’s name, Fan Chen’s expression turned obviously gloomy, but he still said: “When we signed an agreement with the Demon Hunters Association, the first clause was that we cannot interfere in human internal affairs. This is a taboo, if the demon clan uses magic to interfere with the internal order of mankind, then the agreement between the human and demon clans will collapse on the spot. Now, the relationship between the human and demon clans has finally made new progress, and no more mistakes can be made. Otherwise, all the hard work of the past five hundred years will be lost and will all be in vain.”

“Then what should we do?” Quan Juncai asked, almost roaring.

“I…” Fan Chen lowered his head and showed a sad smile, “I made an appointment with Wanwan for dinner, so I’m leaving first.”

“Sir!” Quan Juncai shouted in disbelief, could he just let it go and let humans harm him?

“For all living things on the earth, I am actually more like a rule, adjusting and guarding your development, but I cannot interfere. If I could interfere, I would have stopped the first nuclear weapon when it came out. Developing nuclear weapons is the will of a country. If I interfere, I will fall asleep early and may never wake up again. So there is no difference between doing it or not.” Fan Chen said helplessly, “So, don’t take the trouble either.”

“How…how could this happen?” Quan Juncai was almost unsteady on his feet. Even someone as powerful as Jianmu, couldn’t influence human thoughts?

“Don’t tell Wanwan.” Fan Chen ordered.

“I……”

“It won’t change anything. If I really have to fall asleep early, at least let me be happy during this time.” Fan Chen solemnly said, “Please~~”

Quan Juncai looked at Fan Chen striding away but didn’t say a word. He couldn’t speak, and the word “please” almost made him unable to breathe. He could only look at the computer page on his desk, hoping that this news was just speculation, that Country M was just looking for an excuse to bully small countries, and that Country G was not really developing nuclear weapons.

….

At the pet shop gate, Fan Chen walked in skillfully. He came here often during this period. And both Sparrow Jing and Xu Zhuang knew that this man was the boss’s boyfriend, so they acted very enthusiastically.

“Mr. Fan, you’re here. The boss hasn’t come back yet. It will probably take a while.” The sparrow spirit who held a price list in his hand, raised his head and smiled at Fan Chen as he came in.

“She should have no class this afternoon.” Fan Chen remembered Mi Wan’s class schedule. Mi Wan had no class this afternoon. There was only one demon who was poisoned and needed treatment.

“She forgot to do her homework for some reason yesterday. She just came back to finish her homework and sent it to the teacher.”

Last night? Fan Chen’s eyebrows moved and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. It seemed that he needed to be restrained and not delay Wanwan’s studies.

Fan Chen raised his head and glanced at the price list in Sparrow Jing’s hand. He found that the prices on it were wrong, so he reached out and took it over curiously. This was a price list specially customized for the treatment of demons, but the prices had been readjusted, and it seemed that every charge had been reduced a lot.

“Have you adjusted the prices?” Fan Chen asked.

“Yes, every item is discounted. Now the removal of demon poison only costs 100,000, and the prenatal check-up only costs 3,000, which is almost the same as the human hospital outside.” The sparrow spirit said, but his heart was bleeding. The boss’s charges were halved, and his commission was also halved.

Fan Chen smiled and asked, “Have any demons who have spent money in the past come here to cause trouble?”

“The boss has said that if any demons come, we can refund the money, but so far no demons have come to ask for a refund. “Yes.” This was the only place about which Sparrow Spirit felt happy.

Fan Chen thought about it and immediately knew what was going on. Mi Wan was the only demon hunter who could exorcise demon poison. She was very powerful. Although in the future, the Demon Hunter Association may have other demon hunters who could exorcise demon poison. Even if they were good, but no matter who they were, their medical skills could not be comparable to Mi Wan. Most of the demon clans were rich, and no demon would offend Mi Wan for this little amount of money.

“Fan Chen~~” Mi Wan, wearing a white dress, ran in with her ponytail swinging. Seeing Fan Chen’s face with joy, she asked, “Why are you here?”

“I know you don’t have classes, so I came to ask you for a date.” Fan Chen stretched out his hand and smoothed the broken hair from the girl’s forehead.

The sparrow spirit was so violently tortured that he let out a strange scream and moved to a different place.

“Then let’s go eat first, and then go on a date after eating.” Mi Wan smiled and took Fan Chen’s hand.

“Yes.”

Fan Chen lowered his head and looked at the palms of the two people’s hands. He separated his five fingers, then inserted them one by one into the girl’s tiny fingers and clasped them tightly.

Mi Wan also liked this action of interlocking fingers. She raised her hand happily, looked at it carefully for a moment, then smiled sweetly and took Fan Chen out to eat.

The sun was still shining brightly today, and it was as clear as her mood at this time.
