Chapter 202: Chapter 142: Miss Enchanting Demon, You Need a Teacher

Blueberry Manor.

Lian woke up in the soft, large bed and pulled out the bratty imp hiding under the covers.

"Yina, you don’t want to be captured by that black market merchant again, do you?"

The words hit Yina where it hurt. The person she feared most right now was that black market merchant; he truly had ways of dealing with her. She had escaped three times, only to be caught by him each time.

"What do you want?"

"I spent money to buy you. What do you think?"

Lian asked.

Yina hugged herself nervously. "You’re not thinking of forcing a contract on me, are you?"

"That’s right."

Lian smiled as he looked at Yina.

Yina’s little face twisted in anger. "You vile bipedal beast! You won’t even spare a child!"

BONK—

Lian gave Yina another rap on the head.

"I’m not that depraved."

"Then how are you going to contract me?"

Yina looked at Lian, confused.

Lian took out a Contract Book. The last one he’d used was the one obtained from the Goblins, but this one was from the Viscount’s private collection in the Treasure Vault.

Although Viscount Fenix Belo didn’t understand Magic, his private Treasure Vault contained a full three Magic Contract Books.

This was more than enough to prove that the Viscount’s family fortune was substantial.

Lian had acquired two-thirds of Viscount Fenix Belo’s wealth, so even though Yusofa now belonged to his mistress, Nancy, he was still the richest man in Yusofa.

And he was about to get even richer.

When the nobles saw that Viscount Fenix Belo had successfully escaped, they would gradually start coming to him, allowing him to make a windfall before the war even began.

If the war started, the price would have to go up.

Ninety percent of Yusofa’s wealth was destined to fall into his pocket.

Lian felt no guilt about this. He decided that after Anna helped Simo obtain the title of Green Shadow Lord Bishop, he would have his good employee Simo continue to provide a channel through the Church, helping these poor Yusofa People escape to the safety of Green Shade Territory and contribute to its economic development.

They might become prospective residents of the Empire State Building. Having lost their lands and estates, this group of nobles neither possessed manors and castles like the local aristocrats nor had a Knight Order to protect them, and they were unwilling to live like commoners.

Therefore, they could choose the Empire State Building—ultra-modern luxury flats whose opulence rivaled any manor. Not only would they be protected by the Jingwei Army, but residency there also symbolized power and status. It was the standard for the "new nobility" that Lian promoted.

The nobles of Yusofa could become neighbors there, and their willing move-in would also drive up the occupancy rate among other local nobles.

As for the young women rescued from the various "dessert shops," Lian had also made life plans for them.

The highly attractive "Maids" who could no longer change professions could form a high-end maid club. They would receive handsome returns for every service rendered. If they wanted to leave the life and get married, the club would not stop them and would even provide a monetary gift.

If they wanted to change careers, they would receive professional training and eventually be assigned to jobs in Lian’s industries, such as bank tellers or clothing store sales associates.

Even the "salted fish" with no dreams could continue to work as ordinary Maids in the Green Shade Territory’s Lord’s Mansion for a normal salary.

Those who were too young would be sent directly to school for re-education, after which they would sign a semi-lifelong contract to work for him.

Lian felt the system should have awarded him a "Philanthropist" title. Unfortunately, the title didn’t appear. Apparently, he still didn’t meet the qualifications for being a philanthropist.

He didn’t want to be a war profiteer, either. It was just that circumstances forced his hand, leaving him no choice but to profit.

Seeing Lian take out the Magic Contract Book, the Loli Succubus Yina blushed, embarrassed.

She had just been imagining some very sordid scenes, thanks to her pure bloodline and the mental feedback she’d been getting from peeping on Lian and Nancy Stuart these past few days.

"What’s wrong? You look a little disappointed."

Lian teased, looking at the Yina whose personality turned foul at night.

"Who’s disappointed! Hmph."

Yina tilted her head up, her expression stubborn.

"Alright, let’s do this."

Lian wrote out a Master-Servant Contract on the Contract Book and had Yina sign it.

Yina felt a unique connection form between herself and Lian, one that would allow her to enter his dreams at will, rather than having to invade them.

For a fleeting moment, the souls of the human and the demon were linked, causing their feelings to be shared.

Lian experienced Yina’s profound lack of security, as well as the reason for her slow growth.

Her parents had disappeared before they had the chance to teach her how to be a proper Succubus.

And before they disappeared, a willful Yina had demanded her parents pick a Night Shadow for her as a birthday gift.

Night Shadows grew in the dangerous Yue’an Mountain Range, and Yina only later learned that Demon Eaters lived in those mountains.

Yina believed her parents must have been killed by the Demon Eaters.

She, in turn, grew by devouring the flesh and blood of Demon Eaters, but unfortunately, she had only managed to kill a single Demon Eater in her entire life.

This was the most important reason for her slow growth: a lack of nutrients.

Human food could not help a Succubus grow, nor could it even sate her hunger.

Yina had long existed in a state of extreme hunger and self-blame, which had caused a psychological issue where her personality would shift at night. It was similar to a dual personality, but both personalities belonged to Yina, and her memories were continuous.

The daytime Yina knew what the nighttime Yina did, and the nighttime Yina knew what the daytime Yina was thinking.
