Golden Tea, also known as cultivation tea, is something even the Earth God needs to cultivate. It was perfectly normal for him to ask Cheng Xiaofan for this type of tea.
As for the two fox spirits and Kinugasa Mieko, they naturally couldn't ask for such a tea fast enough.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "The seeds for this Golden Tea were originally given to me by Zhuxi Wangyue, and only then was I able to successfully cultivate this tea."
"From now on, if you want to drink this tea, just come to me anytime. Don't be so polite!"
The Earth God nodded, his face beaming with joy. "With Lord Shennong's words, we will have to trouble you often from now on!"
After seeing off the Earth God and his entourage, Cheng Xiaofan noticed that Sakai Kyoko was still sitting at the table, resting her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought.
He walked over and asked, "Kyoko, what are you thinking about?"
Sakai Kyoko said, "I'm thinking about that young lady just now. Why does her tone sound so much like my master's? And in her eyes, I seem to see a shadow of my master!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan was about to tell her that the woman was indeed her master, Kinugasa Mieko.
However, fearing that she might break down if she learned the truth, he swallowed the words back.
"Kyoko, you miss your master so much that you're having these feelings!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "However, I can tell you one thing: that woman and your grandmother were indeed good friends!"
Sakai Kyoko asked, "Brother Xiaofan, do you know who that young lady is?"
"I deserve to die! I was so engrossed in talking with her that I forgot to ask for her name!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "These people are all cultivators. They generally don't reveal their names to outsiders casually. Before I get their permission, it's not convenient for me to tell you her name!"
"Oh, I understand!" Sakai Kyoko nodded with a hint of dejection.
Cheng Xiaofan patted her shoulder and said, "Don't think too much about it. Your master will return to your side sooner or later."
"Why don't you go to my mother's table?"
"Okay, I'll go over then!" Sakai Kyoko immediately walked over to Miao Xiuhua's table.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan saw Han Jie emerge from the villa. He was holding a wine glass and walked to his mother's table. He first toasted his mother, then toasted Teresa.
Teresa was a typical Western beauty, appearing poised and dignified in every movement.
Immediately, she returned the toast to Han Jie, and they drank a goblet of wine together.
It seemed that their matchmaking efforts by the White Goddess had been very successful, and the interaction between these two was quite good.
*Ding-ling-ling!*
Just then, Cheng Xiaofan's phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Matsushita Kotoko calling from Sakura Country.
"Kotoko, what made you think of calling me?" Cheng Xiaofan asked curiously.
Matsushita Kotoko's voice was filled with a hint of娇气 (jiāoqì - spoiled or coquettish): "Returning to Master, this servant has reorganized the Blood Demon Sect's industries and registered them as a joint-stock company in Sakura Country in your name."
The so-called joint-stock company is referred to as a corporate group in Huaxia.
Cheng Xiaofan was slightly taken aback and said, "This is possible?"
"Of course it is!"
Matsushita Kotoko said with a hint of pride, "Returning to Master, the Blood Demon Sect's industries were originally controlled by me and registered in my name, but others didn't know.
"Now that they are registered as a joint-stock company in your name, there's nothing impossible about it."
"With this change, Master can legitimately become the president of the joint-stock company, and this servant will do her utmost to serve you!"
In fact, Cheng Xiaofan knew that Matsushita Kotoko had strong interpersonal skills. She could indeed manage to transfer all the Blood Demon Sect's industries under his name.
There was also a benefit to her doing this: it could deter Sakai Kazuo.
Once the news of the Blood Demon Sect's annihilation reached Sakai Kazuo's ears, he would undoubtedly try to seize back the industries that had been occupied by the Blood Demon Sect.
Even though he had become a monk, he was, after all, the overlord of an influential hidden family. He still had some connections.
Now, all the Blood Demon Sect's industries were registered under Cheng Xiaofan's name, so Sakai Kazuo would not dare to have any intentions.
"Kotoko, it's good that you did this!"
Cheng Xiaofan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled, "With my name on them, any petty individuals who try to covet these industries will at least have to weigh the pros and cons!"
Matsushita Kotoko immediately said, "This servant was precisely thinking that way. Anyone who dares to touch our joint-stock company will know that the might of our Huaxia Master is not something ordinary people can offend!"
"To this end, this servant wishes to hold a ceremony soon and invite Master to appear to quell the situation!"
Cheng Xiaofan could understand Matsushita Kotoko's meaning. After she integrated the Blood Demon Sect's industries and transferred them all under his name, it would surely cause some people to question it.
After all, Cheng Xiaofan's name was only known within the Huaxia martial arts forums and had not reached the point of being known by everyone.
It was imaginable that in Sakura Country, a young Huaxia man suddenly appeared and, overnight, owned a vast empire of industries. Anyone would be envious.
Envy would surely lead to attempts to seize.
And Matsushita Kotoko wanted to use this opportunity to hold a ceremony and lure those petty individuals out into the open, so that Cheng Xiaofan could thoroughly deter them.
"Kotoko, holding a ceremony is indeed necessary. I will definitely be there in person!" For Cheng Xiaofan, having a Sky-Breaking Eagle by his side made traveling to Sakura Country incredibly convenient.
It was as easy as him driving to the county town for his usual trips.
Besides, now that he owned such a large empire overseas, he should visit it more often when he had time.
Of course, Cheng Xiaofan had no doubts about Matsushita Kotoko's loyalty as his servant; she would never betray him at any time.
"Master, I have another piece of good news to tell you!" Matsushita Kotoko said excitedly.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and asked, "What other good news do you have for me?"
Matsushita Kotoko said with a hint of a sob, "Master, after taking the Rejuvenation Pill you gave me, my appearance and body structure have undergone significant changes."
"It's as if, overnight, I've returned to the age of an eighteen-year-old maiden!"
"I'm not exaggerating at all; everything I've said is true!"
"I even had a thorough check-up at the hospital, and even the doctors were amazed, saying that I am a perfectly flawless maiden with no physiological defects!"
"Many women asked me how I did it, but I never told them."
"Now, a reporter has written an article about my situation, which has been published in various media outlets and has caused a sensation throughout Sakura Country."
"Master, if you can mass-produce this Rejuvenation Pill, you will definitely make a lot of money in Sakura Country!"
Cheng Xiaofan heard this and chuckled, "Your idea is quite good. Alright, I will refine a batch of Rejuvenation Pills and send them over!"
