Ling Ping'an casually placed the mushroom and rice wine that the customer had sent over on the counter.
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet, seemed to have smelled something and immediately got up from the counter. Then, it looked at the mushrooms in the basket and the rice wine in the bottle.
Its saliva was about to drip down!
Ling Ping'an quickly pressed this embarrassing fool back into the counter to prevent it from making a fool of itself in front of the customer!
Then, he turned to the customer who looked rather reserved and said, "Sit down... Don't stand on ceremony!"
He thought for a moment, picked up a cup, poured some leaves, walked to the water dispenser, and made a cup of tea for the customer that she had given him last time.
Holding the cup of tea, Ling Ping'an brought it to the customer who was sitting on the sofa and looked a little nervous. "Customer, please have some tea..."
"This is the tea you gave me last time..."
… …
Han Li looked at the tea that was handed to her.
The golden tea leaves were boiling.
The dense spirit aura rose and fell.
"This is..." she swallowed her saliva.
Of course, she had drunk cerulean spirit tea before, and she drank it every day.
This kind of spirit tea was the standard for demon hunters!
Not only could it allow demon hunters to maintain a clear and calm consciousness between high-intensity demon hunting battles.
It could also replenish a portion of psionic energy.
In her world, cerulean spirit tea could even be supplied regularly and in limited quantities to ordinary soldiers on duty.
But...
She looked at the cup of cerulean spirit tea in front of her.
The dense spirit aura was dense enough to form a mist. The boiling water was constantly stimulating and releasing more spirit aura.
Between the veins of the golden tea leaves, some golden juice could be faintly seen overflowing.
This was definitely not cerulean spirit tea!
Cerulean spirit tea definitely did not have such dense spirit aura!
She picked up the teacup and carefully took a sip.
The dense and gentle spirit aura instantly filled her mouth.
Under the stimulation of the sweet and fragrant taste, Han Li felt that her body, mind, and soul had relaxed.
Especially these days, she had frequently used the power of the succubus and constantly devoured the souls of all kinds of ghosts and evil spirits.
Her soul body was unknowingly stained with many gray traces.
These were things that she could not detect.
However, now that a mouthful of spirit tea entered her throat.
These hidden dangers were discovered by her.
Moreover, Han Li felt that the hidden dangers in her soul were being repaired, dispelled, and purified by some kind of energy in the cerulean spirit tea.
She couldn't help but take another sip before putting down the teacup. She said gratefully to the ruler in front of her, "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome!" the other party said calmly.
But when Han Li heard these three words, she felt warm all over, as if she was bathing in the spring breeze!
Finally, she was completely relieved!
She understood very well that this cup of tea was the ruler's affirmation of her performance and hard work during this period of time!
This cup of tea was a form of recognition!
He acknowledged that she could continue to exist as a pawn.
… …
Ling Ping'an looked at this young girl who didn't forget to thank him even after drinking a mouthful of tea.
Zhang Xuan nodded in approval.
The children raised by the Old Empire were flawless in terms of etiquette!
This was something that the old empires had always been proud of.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an asked her calmly, "Customer, how is your family?"
"Thanks to you …" The girl immediately replied, "Everything is fine!"
"Especially after saying goodbye to you last time, the situation at home has improved a lot!"
"Oh …" Ling Ping'an nodded. He knew that this young girl had successfully used the knowledge in the book to communicate effectively with her parents and elders.
Judging from her reaction, her family should have been convinced?
At the very least, they had agreed conditionally?!
This could be seen from the young girl's current appearance and clothing.
Compared to the beginning, her temperament was more mature.
In terms of clothes, she seemed to be more confident.
So, why did she come today?
Ling Ping'an asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
This customer was a good girl!
She knew how to be polite and knew when to advance and when to retreat.
Most importantly, she had brought a gift!
Although it was only three mushrooms and a bottle of rice wine, the items were not important. The intention was the most important!
Therefore, Ling Ping'an was naturally willing to help her.
… …
Han Li raised her head and bravely looked at the two flickering flames in the head of the person in front of her that was wrapped in fog.
She knew that this was a sign that he was waiting to listen.
Han Li thought about it seriously, then stood up and bowed deeply, "I came here this time to beg you …"
"I want to beg you …" She lowered her head and gathered her courage to say, "Can you recommend a book to my family that they can read?"
"Especially my younger brothers and sisters …"
"So that they can be like me …"
"To be able to live independently and control their own destiny …"
"Instead of being suppressed by others and being involuntarily …"
Before she came, Han Li had already thought it through.
The hope of mankind was in the next generation!
In the children who were younger than her!
Because if mankind still had a future, the world still had a future.
Then, the burden of rebuilding the world and rebuilding human society would be on these children!
These children would be the main force of reconstruction!
Therefore, Han Li knew that only by nurturing children would there be a future!
Just like what her teacher did back then!
Only by passing on the torch and growing endlessly could human civilization continue!
… …
Ling Ping'an's eyes were filled with admiration as he listened to the young girl's request!
He admired such a person!
"That's true..." Ling Ping'an thought, "The old empire family is the family that advocates fertility the most in the Federal Empire..."
Speaking of which, the Federal Empire should also thank the old empire.
It was precisely these traditional conservatives who advocated the value of having many children and grandchildren.
That was why the empire's population was able to maintain a stable growth in today's industrialization!
Otherwise …
If they were all like Ling Ping'an, the country would have long aged.
Therefore, an old empire family would have at least five or six children!
And the average old empire family was above the middle class.
Most people had their own businesses, manors, and ranches.
Their income was in the upper middle class in the entire Federal Empire. This was very normal. The old empire was the group with the most dividends in the Federal Empire for the past three hundred years.
They were the descendants of the old nobles, old landlords, and old gentry of the Taizu era.
For hundreds of years, they had been following their values.
Conservative, traditional, believed in Confucian ethics, believed in the kindness of fathers, filial piety of sons, and respect of brothers and sisters.
Moreover …
One of the more ironic things was that the initial Industrial Revolution and capitalists were born from these people.
There was a book called "Neo-Confucian Ethics and Capitalism".
It was about why the Neo-Confucianism could be the source of the Industrial Revolution and capitalism.
Ling Ping'an had read that book.
Therefore, he knew that the "libertarian doctrine" that the Gonghe party was talking about every day was derived from that book.
To sum it up, it was probably: I am a gentleman, so I have benevolence, righteousness, and morality, so I will restrain myself from doing evil. I am a gentleman, so I will make good use of the resources and technology I have.
But …
Don't interfere with us!
A gentleman!
Just believe in your character!
Ling Ping\ 'an scoffed at this.
A group of conservatives under the banner of a liberal gentleman?
If Confucius knew, the lid of the coffin would probably not be able to be pressed down!
Look at how the little girls and children were being persecuted by those stubborn and conservative parents?
Fortunately, the parents of this little girl were more or less willing to be reasonable.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an stood up and said to the little girl, "Wait here for a moment!"
… …
Han Li sat on the sofa.
She looked at the ruler and slowly walked into the unfathomable Silent Abyss.
A thick liquid like asphalt slowly flowed at the edge of the abyss.
Even Han Li was no longer the same as before.
But she still looked at the darkness in the abyss and felt her hair stand on end.
She quickly lowered her head.
Meow!
A kitten jumped onto the table.
Han Li looked at it, and the pyramid was reflected behind the kitten.
It slowly lay down and wagged its tail gently.
Han Li immediately understood what it meant and quickly handed over the cup of tea in her hand that she had only drunk a few mouthfuls.
The kitten was proud and gave Han Li a look that said 'at least you know what's good for you'. It was about to stick out its tongue to suck the golden juice in the teacup.
In the end, a small flame fell from the ceiling.
It was about to fall into the teacup.
Meow!
The kitten was angry! It bared its teeth!
The pyramid that was reflected behind it showed its physical form!
It directly smashed into the flame that was falling from the ceiling!
At this moment, a green leaf appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around the teacup.
Countless tender roots stretched out one by one.
It was about to get into the teacup and drink it in one gulp.
The small flame that was smashed to the side suddenly expanded, turning into a dazzling blue flame and pounced over.
And the kitten also discovered the sudden appearance of a third party.
It opened its mouth in anger and pounced over.
The three of them wrestled together.
The fragile teacup shattered in an instant.
The tea spilled all over the coffee table.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps slowly came from the abyss.
The little flame and the leaf heard the sound of footsteps and were immediately scared out of their wits.
The little flame licked the tea on the coffee table and immediately floated to the ceiling, disappearing into the darkness.
The roots that the leaf had stretched out went through the tea on the table, and then it also slipped away!
Meow!
The incompetent and furious little black cat let out an angry roar!
Then, this guy was grabbed by a hand.
"Little guy!" Two flames rose. The kitten, which was extremely fierce just now, instantly became obedient.
"You have to be polite in front of the customer!" He reprimanded his pet very seriously.
Then, he looked at Han Li and said, "This guy is a little naughty. Please don\'t treat me like an outsider!"
"Don\'t treat me like an outsider... don\'t treat me like an outsider..." Han Li was still in shock.
"As expected!" She thought to herself, "The flame sprite that fell from the sky was summoned by this great ruler..."
The little blue flame just now was no different from the flame sprite that she saw falling from the sky that day!
