Not at all, I feel there's no difference between them and humans.
But the words coming out of my mouth twisted.
"I like spending time with beautiful women like you," I said.
Shen Xingyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't forget, I'm your fiancée."
"I know, I've always considered you my fiancée in my heart, so I've been very conflicted."
"Conflicted about what?" Shen Xingyue asked with a frown, thinking I was going to mention Yao Yao and the others.
"Look, you're already at the Ting level, and if I leave them, I'll be an unemployed vagrant, not worthy of you. Our social statuses don't match, and I'm afraid it will affect your reputation."
"So I'm asking you, what are you planning to do next?" Shen Xingyue turned halfway around, and it was clear she was serious.
"How about I start a business and disguise myself as a merchant?"
"That's possible, but do you know how to do business?"
"I don't know how to do big business, but I know a bit about small businesses that are always profitable. Buying low and selling high," I chuckled.
The point isn't the profit margin, as long as the principal is enough. If I don't gamble and don't get greedy, anything will do. At worst, if I put it in the bank, I can earn quite a bit in a year. I'm not even sure how much assets I have now. Most of the money is with Chen Lu, but it should be at least two or three hundred million yuan, plus a lot of equity and property rights.
When I dismiss those spirits, I'll have to give them some. They might not accept it, but I have to give it to them. It's a matter of attitude.
The equity and property rights were basically gifts from the Chen family. I can't accept them, as it would be impossible to explain to Chen Lu herself. I don't want to delay her, so I have to return them. It's okay to continue as old classmates, friends, or even closer friends.
What's left will probably be about one hundred million. If I put it in the bank at an annual interest rate of 3%, the annual interest will be three million, which is enough for food, clothing, and shelter. What business can make three million a year now?
In addition, when I have nothing to do, I can moonlight as a Yin Messenger, helping them catch ghosts and escort souls, using that as an excuse to enter the underworld and get some antiques through yin-yang transactions, which can always be cashed out for tens of millions. So there's no need to worry about finances.
"Are you two already planning for married life?" Yao Yao's voice came from behind.
"Yes, didn't you say you didn't want this guy? Then give him to me," Shen Xingyue said.
Yao Yao couldn't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me. She's a Bai Ze reincarnation, and a former Qing dynasty princess. She's four hundred years older than me. Besides, her identity is unclear—is she human or a demon? No one knows. And no one knows what kind of offspring they would have, and they wouldn't take that risk. However, it seems there's no such risk. It's been over a month, and countless times, I haven't been caught.
Perhaps, from a metaphysical perspective, it's impossible to have offspring.
And Yao Yao has indeed made it clear to Shen Xingyue that she won't compete for the position of the main wife in the human world.
But the one who is more in sync with me is definitely Yao Yao. She knows all my preferences and my emotional changes. For example, if I want something, perhaps only Yao Yao knows what I want—she was holding two cups of hot coffee with lids and gave them to me and Shen Xingyue.
"Snowfall and coffee, be careful not to catch a cold. You two continue to fantasize about the future, I'm going back to sleep." Yao Yao raised her eyebrows and scanned the surroundings with her Qi sensing technique. Perhaps she was worried about security issues nearby, so she specifically came out to confirm.
Don't think that Shen Xingyue and I are chatting quietly. Within a hundred meters, there are at least twenty armed guards from Shabia.
However, I did get some good news. The statutory retirement age for Shabia's field operatives and management personnel is forty, not the usual sixty. The retirement age will not be extended. After retirement, they can choose to transfer to management positions or directly receive a resettlement fee to pursue whatever they want. It doesn't matter if they lose money because they still have a considerable pension. It's said to be over twenty thousand a month, which isn't particularly high, but it's enough to guarantee a normal standard of living. They also have full public medical insurance. As long as they have served in Shabia for ten years, they enjoy lifelong free medical insurance.
Of course, there are gains and losses. Shabia has such high benefits because it is the profession with the highest disability and mortality rates in the entire Yanxia.
