Chapter 057 - Rank 8, Skin Refinement
With both his money-making plan and his demonic beast meat supply route securely established, Li Yuan no longer encountered anyone foolish enough to rob him.
In part, the Qian brothers looked fierce enough to scare off most opportunists. Even pushing carts through the woods, no one dared mess with them.
As for Li Yuan, his inside knowledge in the black market allowed him to buy demonic beast meat without a hint of trouble. He knew exactly where to get the best cuts, how to gauge his surroundings, and how much of his own combat power to reveal so nobody would dare target him.
His routine soon settled into a comfortable rhythm.
Every few days, he went hunting to earn money.
By day, he either purchased demonic beast meat in the black market or trained at Senior Li’s residence.
By night, he strolled with Yan Yu or simply went to bed with her.
It was a rather unconventional three-point routine, but it worked.
Sometimes, the Ginger Tavern wouldn’t buy as much game due to changes in the market. Fortunately, its proprietress was keen on maintaining a strong relationship with Li Yuan, often introducing him to other restaurants looking for reliable suppliers.
Of course, her eagerness wasn’t just about Li Yuan’s connection to Senior Li. It also stemmed from her friendship with Yan Yu.
Yan Yu had been struggling with her Return-Willow Technique and wanted someone to chat with, so she often joined the proprietress for drinks and snacks. They hit it off, chatting freely about their lives, and gradually became close friends—or besties, one might say.
