Chapter 639: A Prosperous Opening

Zhen Youliao turned on her high beams, walked in slowly, her waist swaying gracefully.

She had clearly dressed up specially today; not only was she wearing light makeup, but she had also specifically chosen a long dress that accentuated her figure.

Beneath the thin white gauze, things were faintly visible, enticing and captivating.

Seeing Ye Lin staring at her with a critical gaze, Zhen Youliao's face flushed slightly, but she continued walking into the room and closed the door behind her.

"Hmm? What are you doing? You are Zhen Youqian's sister; I cannot mess around with you. I will not harm a brother!"

As Ye Lin said this, he made the bed as quickly as he could.

Zhen Youliao: "..."

"Ye Lin, I came here this time to apologize to you on behalf of the Zhen family. It was my family's fault for choosing not to help you last time. I am sorry," Zhen Youliao said very sincerely.

"It's fine. I'm not a person who holds grudges; let the past be the past."

Ye Lin waved his hand calmly. Zhen Youqian had been quite helpful to him, saving him a lot of trouble.

Naturally, he would not hold a grudge against the Zhen family over such a small matter.

Seeing that Ye Lin was easy to talk to, Zhen Youliao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking.

"There is one more thing: my Zhen family wants to buy a stake in the Yihong Zoo."

Zhen Youliao bit her red lips and pulled the thin gauze on her body down slightly, showing Ye Lin a display of what one might call "smooth shoulders and great assets."

"The Zhen family's intention is for us to become husband and wife. That way, we would be family marrying into family; after all, you are already Youqian's big brother."

"Of course, the Zhen family will not take advantage of you. Regarding the stake, everything will be at market price. We will pay whatever amount of Immortal Source Stones is required. If you need people, the Zhen family can also send some to help you."

"If you agree... tonight, I am yours."

After saying this, Zhen Youliao closed her eyes, looking like she was ready to be taken.

Seeing this, Ye Lin's lips curled slightly.

A honey trap? Interesting.

Now that the entire Lingquan County was his, the Zhen family's status as overlords naturally no longer existed.

There were actually only two paths left for the Zhen family.

One: merge into his Yihong Zoo, where they would prosper or suffer together.

Two: pack up their belongings and their families, leave Lingquan County, and go develop elsewhere.

And the Zhen family clearly wanted to take a third path: to be on equal footing with his Yihong Zoo through the method of buying a stake.

Thinking a honey trap could take down him, Ye Lin, was underestimating him far too much.

A man can be lustful, but he must never make decisions that go against his own interests because of beauty.

A man too obsessed with lust cannot accomplish great things.

Ye Lin walked toward Zhen Youliao and said softly.

"But I don't want to take you as my wife; I just want to maintain a pure transactional relationship with you. What should we do about that?"

"You!"

Zhen Youliao glared at him.

She had come here today having done plenty of mental preparation and summoned all her courage, all for the sake of her family's survival.

Ye Lin's words were undoubtedly an insult to her.

"Alright, let's skip the honey trap. Do you know why I only drink AD Calcium Milk?" Ye Lin smiled faintly.

"Why?" Zhen Youliao asked.

"Because the BC is enough."

"Let's get straight to the point."

Ye Lin leaned back tactically.

"It is definitely impossible for your Zhen family to be on equal footing. The Yihong Zoo can only have one owner, and that is me, Ye Lin."

"However, your Zhen family can bring your existing businesses and merge directly into my Yihong Zoo. I guarantee that your family's profits will be even higher than before."

After the Yihong Zoo expanded, its footprint was larger, but at the same time, one had to start considering the accommodation, food, and drink for the tourists after they arrived.

Handing this part over to the local snake, the Zhen family, to resolve was perfect.

In any case, Ye Lin could make a fortune just from collecting entrance fees.

To him, the Zhen family was just a hen that laid eggs. He would feed the hen during normal times to keep it plump, and if he ever encountered a natural disaster or man-made calamity and was starving, he could just kill the hen for meat.

"I need to go home and discuss this with the clan elders. Then what about me?" Zhen Youliao pointed to herself.

"You? You will naturally go to work at the Yihong Zoo. If there is anything you don't understand, ask Liu Ruyan; she will tell you what to wear and how to do things."

Ye Lin waved his hand. It wasn't a good idea to always let Liu Ruyan solicit customers by herself.

Since the shop was big, he had to find a few more people to hold down the fort.

"You want me to go work at your zoo?!"

Zhen Youliao was so angry her lungs were about to explode; she knew very well what kind of business the Yihong Zoo was engaged in.

"Don't worry, you don't have to go on stage yourself. Those Yang-Qi demon foxes aren't even enough to go around, so how could there be a share for you?" Ye Lin explained.

"Ye Lin, you are going too far!"

Zhen Youliao was so embarrassed she became angry. She had run over in the middle of the night to deliver fresh milk, and not only did Ye Lin not drink it, but he also had to insult her. It was simply going too far.

Zhen Youliao raised her hand and struck a palm toward Ye Lin.

"Yes, hit me. Hit me, hit harder. If this palm lands, your Zhen family will be wiped out tomorrow. Don't forget, my brother Chou Weizhi is the spouse of an inner sect disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sect!"

Ye Lin did not dodge or evade; he didn't even have the intention to move.

At the very last second, just as the palm was about to land on Ye Lin's body, Zhen Youliao stopped.

She gritted her silver teeth, her face full of unwillingness, but in the end, she withdrew her hand.

"That's right, that's a good girl."

Ye Lin reached out and patted Zhen Youliao's head affectionately.

"Don't touch me!"

Zhen Youliao shook off Ye Lin's hand and left in a huff.

Ye Lin didn't stop her either. Zhen Youliao's high beams were indeed dazzling, but he wasn't a slave to lust.

To put it bluntly, if he wanted to right now, that group of shapeshifted demon foxes at the Yihong Zoo could line up in a circle waiting for him.

Two days later, the Zhen family accepted Ye Lin's proposal, brought all their businesses, and merged into the Yihong Zoo, and the little fatty was released again.

And Zhen Youliao also became a beautiful sight at the Yihong Zoo, not at all inferior to Liu Ruyan.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed quietly.

The Yihong Zoo had finally finished its renovations and was ready to officially open for business.

Ye Lin didn't say a word and dragged all six Imperial Princes of the Nuhai Dynasty over.

Regarding this, the several princes were all complaining bitterly.

"Brother Ye Lin, you said you wanted help with promotion, and we have already had our subordinates spread the news to several nearby dynasties. What else do you want by dragging us here?" the First Prince asked with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, I just want the six of you to dance to celebrate the opening," Ye Lin said with a smile.

"Dance?"

The six princes looked at each other, their faces full of confusion. Where would they know how to dance?

"Don't worry, this dance is very simple. I'll dance it once, and you'll learn it quickly if you follow along. Liu Ruyan, play the music!"

At Ye Lin's command, Liu Ruyan took out an Image Stone and began to play.

A burst of hypnotic music rang out from the Image Stone, clearly sung by Ye Lin himself.

"Come wealth... come... come wealth... come... the old guys in our place like to hang jade plaques around their necks..."
