The moment he saw Liu Qing, Jiang Cheng’s heart stopped beating.

Honestly, among the many predecessors who had transmigrated, Jiang Cheng wasn’t the bravest.

This could be seen from how he had tried his best to avoid contact with Lin Yao.

He had a good life, with both parents alive, a harmonious family, excellent academic performance, and handsome looks. With such great transmigration conditions, even if a Demoness of the Demonic Tao was as beautiful as a celestial, Jiang Cheng didn’t want to stir up trouble; he just wanted to live a normal life under the rule of the Immortal Sects.

There’s an old saying that one cannot live without some excitement. But excitement is predicated on being alive. If you can’t even stay alive, what use is excitement?

Just being stared at by Liu Qing’s serene eyes made Jiang Cheng break out in a sweat.

His opponent seemed not to be a beautiful girl but a ferocious beast—a top-tier, cold-blooded predator from Mount Tian!

At this time, Cao Wang unexpectedly stood out.

He had caught sight of Liu Qing from afar and braced himself for a long time. It wasn’t until Jiang Cheng had been frozen for too long that he couldn’t stand it anymore and walked to the door.

“Miss, hello, you’re here for the interview, right? Please, go inside and have a seat,” he said.

Liu Qing turned her gaze toward Cao Wang, making him tense up.

Shit! This girl is really pretty! Lin Yao, don’t contact me anymore!

Jiang Cheng thought to himself: Old Cao, do you still dare to come closer? Aren’t you going to think of a way to run?

But contrary to Jiang Cheng’s expectations, Liu Qing did not react violently. She simply walked into the room at a measured pace, as if she truly was here for an interview.

Cao Wang nudged Jiang Cheng with his elbow.

“Look at you, where’s your ambition? Can’t walk straight after seeing a beautiful girl? I’m telling you, when it comes to romance, you’re lacking a lot. Practice makes perfect!”

Jiang Cheng bit his teeth and forced himself to calm down.

Upon rational analysis, Liu Qing’s level in the game was 83, which, if converted to the human Cultivation Level, would be at the Mahayana Realm!

The Cultivation Level setting in “Immortal Gods” has ten stages, ranked from low to high: Qi Training, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Void Refinement, Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, Mahayana, and Ascension.

These Cultivation Levels, when converted to a level system, correspond to levels 1 through 99 respectively.

Jiang Cheng was at Qi Training third layer, which is equivalent to level 3. Cao Wang was at Qi Training fourth layer, equivalent to level 4.

And Liu Qing was a proper level 83!

It could be said that if Liu Qing wanted to kill him and Cao Wang, she would need only to breathe out, and they would be annihilated, leaving no trace behind.

Running and fighting were both dead ends.

Now, he just hoped that Liu Qing was in a good mood and wouldn’t make life difficult for him and Cao Wang, two high school students still wet behind the ears.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, closed the door, and sat down at the interview table.

Cao Wang kept making eyes at Jiang Cheng who understood his thoughts all too well.

This guy’s mind was simple, simply infatuated with Liu Qing’s body.

The problem was, Liu Qing was a Snake Demoness!

If you dare to crave her, she dares to entangle you!

So what should they do now?

Jiang Cheng didn’t know.

In the face of absolute power, all cunning and strategies were in vain.

Therefore, the only way to solve the current predicament was to figure out what Liu Qing really wanted to do.

She was a powerful Demon Race being at level 83 in the Mahayana Realm; she couldn’t possibly have come to the Human Race territory to work out of boredom, could she?

Uh…

Maybe that was quite possible.

Jiang Cheng tried hard to recall the storyline of the “Beasts Tide of Mount Tian” event.

It seemed to say something about Liu Qing visiting the human world and being changed by the hardships of human life in the end…

Jiang Cheng didn’t remember the storyline clearly, but he remembered very clearly the balance of various factions. After all, he was a data planner, and maintaining balance was his forte.

In the various factions set up in “Immortal Gods,”

On the Human Race side, balance was maintained through mutual checks and balances among the Five Great Immortal Sects.

The Demon Race, on the other hand, did not divide their factions by race, since there were simply too many Demon Race species. The main division of Demon Race factions was by ideological groups.

There were mainly three development factions within the Demon Race.

The first was the conservative faction, advocating for maintaining the status quo, where humans lived in their world, and demons stayed in theirs without interference.

The second was the moderate faction, advocating for limited contact and cooperation with humans and not being completely closed off.

The third was the radical faction, advocating for attacking the Human Race to reclaim Demon Race territory.

Liu Qing, since she was only two thousand years old and relatively young, seemed to belong to another faction outside of these three within the Demon Race.

Namely the “Descent Faction” (strike through)

Namely the “Coexistence Faction.”

This faction was mainly composed of many young members of the Demon Race. Its core idea was that the Demon Race was simply too backward and had to make drastic changes. They took the initiative to integrate themselves into human society, becoming a part of it, and living in coexistence with the Human Race.

Liu Qing was one of the main forces of the “Coexistence Faction.”

Even to prove that her ideas were feasible, she had actively traveled to human society.

Eventually, she was “educated” by various aspects of human society.

For example, there were no holidays, and she didn’t get paid for overtime…

Of course, there were also some strange phenomena that were untouchable slippery slopes.

In the end, Liu Qing concluded that human society was beyond salvation, transforming from the “Coexistence Faction” to the “Conservative Faction,” and insisted that “the Radical Faction was too conservative.”

When you think about it…

Jiang Cheng felt that Liu Qing’s transformation seemed quite reasonable.

She, a powerful figure of the Demon Race, came to human society and was tormented by various unscrupulous bosses. If she didn’t become conservative, who would?

However, according to the event storyline, Liu Qing’s dark turn seemed to be something that happened many years later.

Although Jiang Cheng didn’t know how long Liu Qing had stayed in human society or how much she had been “educated,” as long as he wasn’t an “unscrupulous boss” who had tormented Liu Qing, he wouldn’t have any “feuds” with this powerful demon!

With the Immortal Sects to shoulder the sky, as long as he had no personal hatred with the powerful demon, Jiang Cheng believed that after Liu Qing left, she would never look back for him.

After all, he was just an ordinary citizen, and Liu Qing had no reason to go out of her way to kill him.

Great! Now all he had to do was to refuse Liu Qing and everything would be perfect!

“Ahem.” Jiang Cheng considered the pros and cons and then began the interview phase, “What’s your name?”

“Liu Qing.”

“Nice name! You’re hired! Jiang, bring out the contract you wrote earlier!”

Cao Wang rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Was Miss Liu signing the contract written by Jiang Cheng?

No!

Miss Liu was signing her fate with him, Cao Wang!

“No,” Jiang Cheng was puzzled, and he whispered, “Cao, calm down a bit, will you?”

“I am calm, very calm,” Cao Wang held Jiang Cheng’s arm tightly, “Jiang, hear me out, in my whole life, I’ve never liked anyone, but I’ve really taken to her!”

Jiang Cheng: “You say that about everyone you see!”

Cao Wang: “Quickly get the contract!”

While the two brothers were disputing, Liu Qing spoke.

“Jiang Cheng.”

Her voice was cold and clear, like a shard of ice breaking on the ground under the eaves in winter.

“Present!”

Jiang Cheng from Stinky Tofu Jiang Cheng instantly lined up.

Liu Qing went on, “Do you have an opinion of me?”

Jiang Cheng’s throat bobbed, and after struggling for a while he said, “No opinions.”

Cao Wang was overjoyed, “No opinions? Then get the contract out quickly!”

Jiang Cheng tremulously took the contract from his storage bag, and Cao Wang snatched it away, placing it before Liu Qing.

“Come on, Miss Liu, once you sign the contract, you will be the legitimate employee of my brother Jiang Cheng.”

Liu Qing looked at the contract, her brows slightly furrowed, and she seemed a bit displeased.

Jiang Cheng’s heart sank, thinking: Uh oh, she probably thinks the salary I’m offering is too low!

But to be honest, three hundred Spirit Stones a month just for running errands wasn’t a small sum, considering that the real estate price in Wuyue City was only about six hundred per square meter.

In the previous life, the average price in Shanghai was sixty thousand; which errand company could pay thirty thousand a month?

But looking at her expression, she wouldn’t consider him some “unscrupulous boss,” right!?

Thinking about his own life and the future of all mankind, Jiang Cheng finally bit the bullet and said, “Miss Liu, the salary on this contract is negotiable, but at most I can only offer three thousand low-grade Spirit Stones a month. Any more and I really can’t afford it.”

Cao Wang looked at Jiang Cheng in shock: Three thousand a month!? Why isn’t the price the same when his buddies run errands?

Liu Qing sat in the chair, her long and snow-white neck supporting her indifferent and exquisite face.

With her serene gaze, she glanced at Jiang Cheng.

“Deal.”

Her voice was crisp and chilly.

But Jiang Cheng felt relieved.

Although hiring this way was a slight loss, he had incidentally saved humanity.
