Chapter 208: Chapter 161: Guarding Day and Night, an Outside Thief Is Hard to Prevent (Part 2)

Both sides were in a hurry. They were both afraid the other would back out and wanted to get the agreement signed in black and white as soon as possible.

"Welcome, Teacher Luo. You should come visit often," Li Xiang said. He was worried that once Luo Feifei became a shareholder and got busy, she’d forget all about this place.

Luo Feifei was overjoyed. "I definitely will, I definitely will." Of course she was going to visit often—she hadn’t actually managed to defy her fate yet!

After she went back, she had secretly performed a Divination. Her fate remained unchanged. The hexagrams indicated that she needed to stay close to Li Xiang.

She didn’t know how Li Xiang could help her defy her fate, but she knew something like that would come at a great cost. She could only take it one step at a time and look for opportunities to probe indirectly. Her secret was not something she could easily reveal. And she didn’t think Li Xiang would help her if she just came out and asked.

Their relationship hadn’t reached that point. ’Why should he?’

This was about defying fate, after all. It might drain Li Xiang’s lifespan or something else of value. How could he possibly agree to help so easily?

Maybe Li Xiang would just give her the hundred million back and tell her to get lost.

She had to be absolutely certain of success before she could reveal her true purpose.

Li Family Village returned to its usual tranquility. Filming for Luo Feifei’s movie, *Celestial Flying Immortal*, had started up again. Li Xiang went to watch, and it seemed to be well-shot and progressing smoothly.

Because his follower count had surpassed ten million, with over seven million of them being new, business in Li Xiang’s livestream channel picked up again. Li Xiang placed another order with the tea factories for a new batch of this year’s tea—both black and green. He also increased his order for wine. Sales were booming.

Besides tea and wine, he also sold domestically grown coffee beans and ground coffee, along with coffee-related products like coffee makers, moka pots, and pour-over kettles.

The coffee merchant from Yunnan Province, He Zhixiang, also made a fortune, his wealth rolling in.

He Zhixiang felt that his greatest stroke of luck was getting to know Li Xiang and building a good relationship with him when he was just starting out.

Li Xiang didn’t stream every day, but rather once every three days. Even when he wasn’t live, his fans could still buy products from his shop showcase.

His advertising fees had also risen accordingly, reaching 500,000 per ad.

Of course, Li Xiang and his team meticulously designed and filmed the ads, integrating them seamlessly. After all, his fans would be annoyed by blatant, heavy-handed advertising.

Luo Feifei could now use her main account, so every time Li Xiang streamed, she would donate lavishly. As a result, the current fan ranking showed Little Celestial Immortal in first place, while the original "Top Aunt" was relegated to second.

No one was surprised by this. After all, Luo Feifei was so wealthy; how could Top Aunt possibly compete? And even if she could match her financially, she couldn’t compete in terms of looks and age.

Whenever Luo Feifei lurked and saw the group chat members discussing this, she would laugh to herself. ’It’s all me, it’s all me! Haha!’

She couldn’t wait to see the look on Li Xiang’s face when he found out it was all her. ’Mhm, when that time comes, I’ll definitely make him call me "Little Aunt" eighty-one times in a row, and to my face, too.’

...

"Here, here, here~" Early in the morning, Li Xiang beckoned to the two little geese.

The two little goslings had now grown into "young ladies and gentlemen." One was a gander with a red crown and silver feathers, and the other was a goose with a black beak and dark feathers. The gander was more majestic and walked with a proud, haughty gait, while the little goose was more docile and elegant, like a black swan.

"Come on, up you come to Papa." Li Xiang picked the two little things up and fed them some small berries.

In terms of potential, these two goslings were more powerful than the large, red-crested, rainbow-feathered rooster. Plus, they were still half-grown younglings and looked cuter. They were also more obedient, unlike the big rooster, which barely let him touch it. That was why Li Xiang was "playing favorites."

As for the big rooster, it had long been handed over to the Little Fox for training. Under the Little Fox’s "methods," it had already become completely submissive.

Carrying the two goslings, Li Xiang arrived at the Chicken Blood Stone Jungle. Before long, the Little Fox arrived with Er Huang and the big rooster, while the white cat, Xiaobai, brought along Xiaolihua and Xiaosanhua to attend the morning meeting.

Holding a morning meeting had now become a routine at Li Xiang’s home. It was held once every morning, and if Li Xiang wasn’t around, the Little Fox would lead it in his place.

Li Xiang taught them the Breathing Technique and explained the path of cultivation.

Some of them might not understand yet, like the two goslings, but it didn’t matter. Just by participating, being in this atmosphere, and with the help of Spiritual Medicine, it would help them awaken their intelligence sooner.

The three kittens—Xiaobai, Xiaolihua, and Xiaosanhua—now looked like adult cats. Although they were only six months old, they had been eating Spiritual Medicine every day and had extraordinary potential. They could already understand Li Xiang’s commands and follow along with some of the simple exercises in the Breathing Technique.

"In the future, once Papa finds you all some more companions, we’ll split into three teams: the Woof Woof Team, the Kitty Team, and the Fowl Team. Whoever performs the best can be the team captain. Meeting adjourned. Go on and do your cultivation." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

With a wave of his hand, Li Xiang dismissed them, and the little animals scattered. He mused, ’Each team should have at least seven members, right?’

’I’ll go check on my little Tuantuan tomorrow. I wonder how it’s doing.’ Li Xiang rather missed the giant panda.

Some netizens were bad-mouthing his scenic spot, saying it was a godforsaken place not worthy of Luo Feifei’s hundred-million investment. Li Xiang wanted to see what those people would say when his spot had a Little Red Fox and a national treasure giant panda nearby in the future.

If he could lure the giant panda over, that would be another massive wave of online traffic.

’Ahem, it’s not like I captured it. The giant panda came over on its own. It wants to live in the bamboo forest on the mountain behind my house, and it often comes to my place to play. What are you going to do about it?’
