Realm of the Night God

Feng Xiao's words made Yang Haoran feel ashamed.

Since Feng Xiao followed him, although he had always treated Feng Xiao very well and regarded Feng Xiao as an important object of protection, his original purpose of taking Feng Xiao out of the mountains was not pure, but because he valued Feng Xiao's identity as an Alchemist.

Over time, Feng Xiao had made him very satisfied, because Feng Xiao spent most of the time in the villa researching alchemy, never went out to cause trouble or bring him trouble, and never made any demands on him. Feng Xiao had even saved his life, which made him feel touched and guilty at the same time.

When he took Feng Xiao out of the mountains, he had promised that in the future, he would provide all the medicinal materials Feng Xiao needed for alchemy. However, since Feng Xiao had followed him, he had never provided Feng Xiao with any spiritual medicinal materials.

It was not that he went back on his word and was unwilling to provide Feng Xiao with spiritual medicinal materials, but rather that Feng Xiao had never asked him for anything. The various medicines Feng Xiao was currently refining were all grown by Feng Xiao herself, and she had never purchased them from outside.

Since Feng Xiao did not ask, and he himself had many things to do, he had overlooked this matter. Now, thinking about it, he felt a little ashamed.

The other party did not dare to speak up, but he did not take the initiative to ask. In his view, this was not Feng Xiao's problem, but his own.

However, Feng Xiao's words just now, especially the sentence "we are all one family," made his guilt even deeper.

"Hehe, you're right, we are all one family, and one family doesn't talk about two families." Yang Haoran took a deep breath and then smiled faintly at Feng Xiao.

However, Feng Xiao did not notice any difference in Yang Haoran's smile compared to usual, but Yang Haoran's answer made her face break into a smile.

Ten days later, Yang Haoran returned to the Serene Medicine Shop in the Underworld.

The Serene Medicine Shop was not much different from when he left last time, but there was one thing that was different from when he left - on the side of the counter, there was now a bookshelf, and although it was not full of books, the number was not small. He counted them and found there were twenty-nine books in total.

Curiosity made him browse through these books, and he found that although the thickness of these books was different, they all had one thing in common - the content recorded in these books was all related to Alchemists and spiritual medicinal materials.

Some of the books he recognized, as they were the ones he had bought for Feng Xiao ten days ago, but there were some books that he had no impression of at all.

As Yang Haoran was browsing through these books, Ban Kui stood behind him like a wooden stake, while Guyi was busy going to pour tea.

After Guyi had the tea ready, Yang Haoran also put down the book in his hand and slowly sat down, his gaze turning to the smiling Guyi.

"Are these all your books?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

Guyi, with a full smile on his face, nodded vigorously at Yang Haoran, his expression brimming with undisguised pride.

"I remember I didn't buy you so many books, did you go and buy some more yourself?" Sample from My Virtual Library Empire—read more on M&VLEMPY&R.

"Hmm, Boss, the books you bought for me were not enough for me to read, I had them memorized inside out in just a few days. I was originally worried about what I would do for the next few days, but unexpectedly, Boss had left some money with the big fool. So I took some of that money and went to buy a few more books about Alchemists and spiritual medicinal materials to read." Guyi explained with a smile, her expression of pride even more pronounced.

When Yang Haoran left the Serene Medicine Shop last time, Guyi was reading a book, and he didn't disturb Guyi then, but he did call Ban Kui aside and give him some hell coins.

Yang Haoran did this not to have Ban Kui buy anything for him, but because he considered that since they were living in the Underworld, it would be very inconvenient if they didn't have any hell coins on them. If they wanted to buy something they needed, but couldn't produce the money, it would be embarrassing, so he gave Ban Kui some money to use freely.

What Yang Haoran cared about now was not how much money Guyi spent on buying books, but that Guyi was actually able to memorize the contents of the books he had bought for him in just a few days. In his view, it was already very impressive that Guyi could remember about seven or eight tenths of the knowledge in those books in ten days, but he never expected that Guyi would have the contents of those books completely memorized in just a few days, and even felt that it was not enough, so he went and bought a few more books.

This made Yang Haoran not only surprised, but also somewhat unbelieving, because in his view, this was truly something that defied common sense.

Of course, he didn't completely disbelieve it either, because in his view, there were many freaks in this world, and just because Yang Haoran couldn't do something didn't mean others couldn't either. And just because Yang Haoran could do something, it didn't mean others could necessarily do it too.

So when he heard Guyi's words, he was half-believing and half-doubting.

"You... really have the books I bought you before completely memorized?"

This time, Yang Haoran did not hide his inner emotions, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, his tone carrying a hint of doubt.

As for Yang Haoran's reaction, Guyi not only did not get angry, but instead let out a chuckle, and the look of pride on her face not only did not diminish, but became even more pronounced.

"Of course it's true, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to lie to the Boss. I not only have the books you bought for me completely memorized, but the contents of the few books I bought myself later, I have also fully committed to memory. Hehe, Boss, you don't have to doubt it, I'm just that capable. But the more you doubt, the more excited I get, because it means my abilities are so unbelievable to you."

From Guyi's reaction, it didn't seem like she was lying, and the faint smile on Yang Haoran's face had a little less doubt and a little more expectation.

"Haha, well then, let me, as your boss, take a good look at your abilities. Then let's start your examination right now."

Yang Haoran smiled and spoke up. He had originally planned to let Guyi prepare a bit, but now he had changed his mind. Since Guyi was so confident in herself, he felt there was no need to let her prepare anything, and he could just start the examination directly. He also wanted to see how much of a shock Guyi could bring him.

"Anytime is fine, the sooner I pass the examination, the better, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. But the content Boss wants to examine has to be from these twenty-nine books, if it's knowledge outside of these twenty-nine books, of course I don't have the ability to know."

Guyi smiled and spoke up. Although she was very confident in her own abilities, she was not so arrogant as to think she could know knowledge outside of what she had learned. As long as her brain still worked, she wouldn't be so presumptuous, and she was no exception.

"Haha, I'll ask you some questions next, and these questions are part of the examination. But I don't know if they are recorded in these twenty-nine books or not. If not, even if you can't answer, it won't affect your examination this time. If they are, and you can answer correctly, it won't give you extra credit, but if you can't answer, you'll be deducted points."

Yang Haoran smiled and spoke, then took a sip of tea and slowly lit a cigarette.

"No problem, with the Boss's words, Guyi is at ease. Hehe, come on, Boss, just fire away!"

Originally, Guyi was a little worried, afraid that Yang Haoran would give her some questions beyond her current knowledge. But with Yang Haoran's words, her worries disappeared.

Yang Haoran didn't continue to waste words, and immediately asked Guyi the first question.

"First, answer me about the level classification of Alchemists, and the approximate strength of each level."

The Guyi who was already prepared for battle, upon hearing Yang Haoran ask such a question, her smile suddenly stiffened, and she actually froze.
