Chapter Twenty-Four A Family

  Six million five hundred and thirty thousand gold coins!

  Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing this number!

  Especially Kano, almost fainted!

  He has always been Li Xie's personal bodyguard and knows everything about Li Xie!

  It's been just a few days!

  From Li Xie becoming a viscount until now, it's been less than two months and he has already earned more than six million gold coins!

  It's worth knowing that in the entire Tudor Empire, there are no more than ten families with assets of five million gold coins! And they are all family assets, while Earl Shibo has personal assets of over six million gold coins!

  As for individuals, Viscount Evil is absolutely one of the top ten richest men in the Imperial Capital!

  "Sleep Master is on top! I saw a miracle!" Cano couldn't help but exclaim!

  The rest of the servants cheered and guarded! Their masters have money, their lives won't be bad either!

  As for Li Xie, this guy is laughing so hard his mouth is crooked!

  These six million gold coins, three million of which belong to the additional hundred fifth-level magic beasts, and more than three million were obtained as gifts!

  No wonder the officials on Earth are always getting sick for no reason, it turns out they're all doing this!

  Li sighed, thinking that he wasn't a useless person either, but just had an unlucky birth. If given a platform, he could also achieve something! Those second-generation rich kids' so-called business acumen probably manifested in this way: utilizing existing platforms to effortlessly rake in wealth!

  "We, the Viscount's household, will reward one million gold coins per person! Kano rewards ten million gold coins!" Li Xie's one sentence, immediately threw out over a hundred million gold coins!

  Although he loves money, he has been poor and suffered! But he is not stingy, but extremely generous, also because he has been poor and suffered!

  After Li Xie finished speaking, the originally cheering slave guards suddenly fell silent. Only the crackling sound of the bonfire remained.

  Everyone was stunned!

  Ten thousand gold coins! A leader like Kano only gets ten thousand gold coins a year, and the rest of the guards might get just one thousand gold coins a year, or even less. Li Xie's single sentence reward gave them ten years' worth of salary!

  Especially those eight female servants led by Lily and four male house slaves, they were all stunned!

  10,000 gold coins!

  What is this concept?

  They are slaves, let alone for a lifetime, even for several lifetimes, it is impossible to have 10,000 gold coins!

  Even Viscount Cano, who had held high office, was stunned on the spot! His reward was one million gold coins! One million, he never thought that he might have assets of one million gold coins! Even at the end of the year, he still belonged to the category of being in straitened circumstances!

  "What's wrong? Are you all stunned? Have you all been delighted silly? Haha. Li Xie bumped against Kano, laughing and saying: "Since we're following me, everyone is a family, a family has the same fortune and shares the same difficulties!"

  A family!

  These three words are just a feeling for Li Xie, after wandering for a long time, he yearns for a stable home. Now that he has the Earl's Manor, to Li Xie, everyone here is a member of this family, naturally they are all one family!

  But he didn't know the position of these three words in the hearts of slaves and guards!

  No noble would treat slaves and bodyguards as family!

  And they didn't suspect the meaning of Li Xie's words either, because Li Xie's actions indeed treated them as "one family"!

  The slaves and guards one by one came back to their senses, but coincidentally all knelt down to Li Xie: "We swear to follow you to death, sir!"

  Kano also knelt heavily on the ground, in her heart, from now on, she would follow Li Xie for this lifetime!

  "Get up, get up! I'm rich today, everyone should be happy, hehe, go get... no way, those are fine wines, you bunch of damned wine ghosts can't waste them! Someone, take a few people to buy dozens of bottles of 'Dragon's Tongue', let's drink to our heart's content tonight!"

  "Sir, I'm Callis, going now! Harry Potter, bring ten people with you!"

  "There's one more thing." Li Xie was particularly happy today, so he just went all out: "Your slave contract should be with that lower official, Lili, you bring me a message tomorrow and destroy the slave contract, you are all free people now, whether you want to leave or stay is up to you."

  "Master!"

  Lily and a group of slaves knelt down again, one by one with tears streaming down their faces!

  Destroying the slave contract was just a sentence for Li Xie, but for Lili and several other slaves, its significance was beyond Li Xie's imagination!

  Most of the gods' mainland are slave societies, slaves only have names and no surnames. Under the contract of slavery, they can only be slaves for a lifetime, and their descendants are also slaves!

  Li Ye's one sentence gave Lily and them their priceless freedom! Freedom for generations to come!

  "Get up, get up! I've said it already, no crying tonight, only happiness allowed, hehe..."

  Over a hundred people in the earl's mansion, tonight except for slaves, no one is sober!

  The seven guards were scattered all over the large courtyard, some lying down and others leaning against walls. Kano was lying by the bonfire, snoring loudly!

  Li Xie, the vampire, had long been drunk and fallen asleep. When everyone else was also drunk and asleep, he woke up instead. He lay directly on the ground in the large courtyard, using Lily's leg as a pillow. Lily gently massaged his bald head to relieve the discomfort of intoxication.

  Li Xie gazed up at the sky, which was different from that of Earth. The sky of the Gods' Continent had four moons, suspended in a square shape high above, shining with unparalleled brilliance. The stars on the Gods' Continent were numerous and dense, without the haze of Earth, making them appear even brighter. The shallow blue light twinkled, and the gathering and dispersing of the stars seemed to form various patterns, as if using the sky as a canvas and the stars as colored ink, outlining a legendary wonder!

  "When I was young, I also saw such a sky. I would ask my grandmother: Will it rain? Are we going to sleep on the street tonight? Or should we walk a few more steps and find a bridge. Li Xie seemed to be muttering to himself, yet also telling Lily: "At that time, I never felt the beauty of the night sky, only worried about the rain. If it rained and I didn't have any shelter, I would get chilled! The beauty of the night sky had nothing to do with me!"

  Lily was also a poor soul, understanding what Li Xie said. She had also heard that her master was actually just a country bumpkin more than a month ago. She spoke softly: "Master, everything is over now. Tonight belongs to you."

  Lily said this, seemingly not finished, her lips moved a few more times, but didn't make a sound. Li Xie didn't notice her, only gazing at the sky, laughing: "Tonight belongs to me! What a pity!"

  "What's wrong?" Lily asked hastily.

  "The bright light of the moon, as holy and beautiful as she is, the night belongs to me, but she does not belong to me!" Li Xie looked at the moonlight, as if he saw the Duke of Evelyn he met that day!

  Lily's heart skipped a beat, and her hand on Li Xie's head also trembled!

  Li Xie suddenly felt something and looked at Lily, smiling: "What are you doing? You're pretty too, hehe..."

  Lily was indeed beautiful, with golden hair and green eyes, delicate features, and snow-white skin. Her figure was also slender and elegant. However, Li Xie only praised her, without feeling any emotional stirrings. Perhaps if he hadn't met Duchess Aivia, Li Xie would have developed feelings for Lily, after all, he had never been in love before, and with beautiful women around him, it would have come naturally. Unfortunately, within two days of meeting the female servants, including Lily, he had already encountered Duchess Aivia, and now Li Xie's heart was set on possessing that woman.

  As for Li Xie's praise, Lily's face showed a smile with some acidity. She knew she shouldn't have this "acid" feeling. She was the slave of Earl Ye, and although her slave contract could be destroyed tomorrow, she now, and even in her future, placed herself in the position of a slave.

  Tonight's night belongs to her evil earl, and she also belongs to the evil earl. She just didn't say it out loud, someone didn't notice.

  Tonight, after nightfall, the entire household of Marquis Ye moved to Li Ye's new mansion.

  This is an elegant estate! With iron railings surrounding dozens of acres of lawn, entering from the iron gate full of dragonfly grass, the eyes are red maple trees, quiet ponds, along the road to the inside, you can see gardens, sculptures, fountains, theaters, art decorations and so on. In the middle is the owner's residence - three connected European-style buildings, behind which is a garden, and in the distance there are two villas on the lawn.

  The manor is located on the "Hawthorn Slope" in the southwestern suburbs of the imperial capital, overlooking the surrounding area, with a radius of ten miles belonging to Li Xie's land, mostly grasslands, suitable for grazing.

  Compared to other nobles' estates, the Earl of Evil's estate is not large, but it has all the necessary facilities. El chose this place because it was not the Earl of Evil's permanent residence, and the environment was beautiful, with few people disturbing him, allowing the Earl of Evil to indulge in wanton pleasure.

  Li Xie didn't quite live up to El's "entertainment" expectations, but instead muttered that such a remote place would require horse-drawn carriages for outings. However, he didn't harbor too much resentment and was instead deeply shocked by the resplendent decorations inside the residence!

  What golden utensils, what crystal oil lamps, what golden bathtubs, in short, if not gold, then silver or crystal, even the wood, all have a faint fragrance, are all high-quality sandalwood!

  "Ah, nobles are just nobles, even a piece of trash from them can make poor people rich for half their lives! This world is so unfair, but fortunately, I've leaned towards the unfair side!"

  Li Xie let Lily arrange for the guards' accommodations, asking them to move near the manor as well. Then he sat on a rattan chair, staring at the sky-blue unknown egg on the table!

  During the period of recuperation, Li Xie made Kanou punch him in the nose every day to make it look like he was really injured, bleeding a little, and at the same time feeding this unknown egg! Until today, the number of days, 49, has been reached, and all that's left is for this unknown egg to hatch!

  Kano said that after feeding the blood, the unknown egg will hatch on a certain day within a month, but it is impossible to determine which day, so you have to keep an eye on it at all times. Once the unknown egg glows, it means it's about to hatch. So, when he has free time, Li Xie would take out the unknown egg from his space.

  Li Xie decided to hatch this unknown egg, and it wasn't really just to look like he was injured, but also a helpless move!

  During the "convalescence" period, he had openly asked for blood to supplement his body in the name of the rural earth method. Mercedes 7th generation was not concerned about this method of using blood to supplement because Li Xie was injured and also proved by Cano that it was indeed the earth method, instead allowing the Imperial Capital's 100,000 Forbidden Army to provide blood for Li Xie. With the blood provided by 100,000 people, Li Xie not only replenished his lost energy due to injury but also gained a promotion in energy that could not be less.

  But Li Xie is still a black-eyed vampire!

  He finally realized that he couldn't advance his vampire level by sucking the blood of people from other worlds! Where did things go wrong, Li Xie couldn't figure it out either. For now, all he could do was put his hopes on the mysterious egg and have a destined beast to at least have the ability to protect himself.
