Realm of the Night God

Yang Haoran didn't stay outside the shop for long, after taking a brief look, he got up and walked towards the entrance of the Yin Yang General Store.

Upon entering the Yin Yang General Store, Yang Haoran swept his gaze around, and indeed there were quite a few customers in the shop, which he had already guessed from outside, so he was not surprised.

The interior decoration of the shop had undergone a huge change compared to the initial one. Although the shop's area had not changed, it now looked more grand and gave a much more comfortable feeling.

In addition, Yang Haoran also found that many more goods had been added to the shop, and there were even some strange and unusual things that he had never seen before, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Several shop assistants were busy attending to customers in the shop. One of the shop assistants noticed Yang Haoran who had just entered the shop and immediately came over with a smile on her face.

"Greetings, Underworld Envoy. May I know what you would like to buy? We have a wide range of goods here, whether it's from the Mortal Realm or the Underworld, we have them for sale."

The Female Shopkeeper smiled at Yang Haoran and spoke in a very respectful manner.

"What if I want something that you don't have here?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"If we don't have it, we will try our best to find the item for you. Until we find it, the Yin Yang General Store will not charge any fees. If we exhaust all our means and still cannot find the item you need, we can only apologize to you. But all the expenses incurred in finding the item will be borne by the Yin Yang General Store, and you won't have to pay a single penny."

"Hehe, you've thought it through very carefully. I don't know what I want to buy yet, I'm just wandering around out of boredom, you don't need to bother with me."

Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Apologies for disturbing you. If you have any needs, you can always instruct any of the shop assistants here."

The Female Shopkeeper respectfully bowed and then went to attend to other customers, without any intention of clinging on.

Looking at the back of the Female Shopkeeper, Yang Haoran pondered, then he shifted his gaze and scanned the other shop assistants, as if looking for something, finally his gaze fell on a Female Shopkeeper behind the counter.

This Female Shopkeeper was plain-looking, with no special features, but she was different from the other shop assistants. The other assistants were responsible for attending to customers in the shop, while she was at the counter collecting money and appraising some treasures brought by customers.

Although this Female Shopkeeper was plain-looking, Yang Haoran was deeply impressed by her. The main purpose of his visit to the Yin Yang General Store today was this woman.

Seeing that the Female Shopkeeper had just seen off a customer, and there were no other customers at the counter besides her, Yang Haoran, with a smile on his face, walked towards the counter.

Even before reaching the counter, the Female Shopkeeper noticed Yang Haoran approaching her. She was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face, obviously recognizing Yang Haoran.

"Underworld Envoy, long time no see. What brings you here to our Yin Yang General Store today?"

The Female Shopkeeper took the initiative to greet Yang Haoran.

"Hehe, I don't come to the Underworld often, so I haven't come to your shop to look after the business."

Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Underworld Envoy, you're too kind. Even if you don't come to look after the business, it's still nice if you come here and sit with us. Who knows, you might find some treasures you need."

The Female Shopkeeper said with a smile.

Yang Haoran nodded with a smile, swept his gaze over the various goods in the shop, and then smiled at the Female Shopkeeper.

"You're right. I just took a quick look around and found a few things that could be useful to me, but unfortunately, I'm broke these days and can't even afford to buy them."

The Female Shopkeeper's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion upon hearing this.

"Judging from your words, Underworld Envoy, have you encountered some difficulties recently?"

Yang Haoran nodded again, with a wry smile on his face.

"I'm planning to open a medicine shop in the Underworld, and in order to achieve this goal, I've exhausted all my family's savings. So now I'm penniless, not to mention buying a few treasures, I can barely afford to top up my phone."

The Female Shopkeeper did not believe that Yang Haoran was now so poor that he had reached this point. In her eyes, Yang Haoran was just joking with her.

However, Yang Haoran was a bit surprised to hear that he, the Underworld Envoy, was going to open a medicine shop in the Underworld. The most up-to-date version is on M(VLEMPY)R.

"Underworld Envoy, you're going to open a medicine shop in the Underworld? Congratulations! A medicine shop is much easier to run than our grocery store, and the profits are also higher. By the way, when will you be opening?" The Female Shopkeeper did not hide her surprise and asked Yang Haoran.

"Everything is ready, the only thing left is finding a store manager. Once I find a suitable manager, I can open for business immediately," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Hehe, with your abilities, finding a store manager shouldn't be too difficult," the Female Shopkeeper said with a smile.

"If it were just about finding a store manager, that wouldn't be a problem. But finding one that satisfies me is not an easy task," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Hehe, it seems your requirements are quite high," the Female Shopkeeper said with a smile.

Yang Haoran did not answer the Female Shopkeeper's question, but instead asked about her current situation.

"How have you been doing at the Yin Yang General Store?"

The Female Shopkeeper was slightly taken aback, as she did not expect Yang Haoran to suddenly ask her such a question. But this momentary hesitation was quickly replaced by a response.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm doing well here. Our Boss is also very good to me. The Yin Yang General Store is now entirely under my management, and the Boss has high expectations of me. I don't want to disappoint him," the Female Shopkeeper said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran, although maintaining a calm expression, felt a sense of regret in his heart.

He understood the meaning behind his previous words, and the Female Shopkeeper's response also made it clear to him.

"Hehe, as long as you're doing well. I'm called Yang Haoran, and I don't know how you address yourself?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"In response to you, my name is Si Ying," the Female Shopkeeper replied.

"Si Ying, a good name. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to my shop and seek help."

Yang Haoran smiled and left the address of his medicine shop, then chatted with Si Ying for a while until a customer came to make a purchase. He then bid farewell to Si Ying and left the Yin Yang General Store.

After leaving the Yin Yang General Store, Yang Haoran sighed and shook his head with a bitter smile.

The first time he met Si Ying, he had noticed that she was a capable person and had left a deep impression on him. This time, his main purpose in coming to the Yin Yang General Store was to see if he could recruit her to work for him, but the result left him somewhat disappointed and regretful, as Si Ying had politely declined his offer.

Although he felt regretful, he was not surprised, as he could see that Si Ying was a talented individual, and Boss Huo would surely recognize this and make efforts to retain her. It would not be easy for others to lure her away.

The best way to retain a person is to win over their heart. As long as Boss Huo has won over Si Ying's heart, it would be difficult for others to poach her.

From Si Ying's response, Yang Haoran knew that Boss Huo had indeed won over her heart, making it very difficult for him or anyone else to recruit her.

Even though Yang Haoran knew it was not realistic to try to poach Si Ying, he still left the offer for her to seek help from his shop if she encountered any difficulties. This was just a backup plan, but it was rather weak.

Unless there was a day when Boss Huo and Si Ying had a complete fallout, this backup plan might come into play. Otherwise, it would just be a polite gesture.

Whether the day when Boss Huo and Si Ying would have a complete fallout would come, Yang Haoran did not know. But one thing he knew was that he did not have the time to wait for that day to arrive.

Of course, he could try to sow discord between them to achieve his goal, but the success of such a plan was uncertain. Even if he succeeded, if Si Ying were to find out the truth one day, how would she view him then?

Therefore, he had no intention of trying to sow discord. A forced melon is not sweet, and since Si Ying did not want to follow him, he did not want to force her.
