As soon as Lin Yifan entered the Snake Cave, through the dim light, he saw many blood-sucking bats hanging from the cave ceiling.
Previously, there were many sea snakes, and they could also utilize Cultivation Power, so the blood-sucking bats simply couldn't defeat them, thus were forced to reside in the dark, damp forests outside.
Now that the sea snakes were all dead, the bats had reclaimed the cave as their own and settled there.
A cave with blood-sucking bats is full of dangers, not only because the bats will attack you, but also because of the bats' feces.
The feces of the bats can release a kind of spore. Inhaling it can result in contracting histoplasmosis, which is deadly, so when you smell the foul odor, you should immediately cover your nose and mouth and leave quickly.
Lin Yifan, protected by his Cultivation Power, wasn't afraid of these at all.
Despite seeing many ferocious blood-sucking bats, Lin Yifan wasn't the least bit scared. He flew directly to the innermost part of the cave, landed, then opened a hidden compartment in the stone bed and took out stored poisons and antidotes.
He had already masked his presence, so the blood-sucking bats in the cave didn't know someone had entered.
Lin Yifan moved all the elixirs into his Space Ring and then quickly left for the beach.
This beach held the memories he shared with An Qi, and it was also here that he and An Qi established their relationship.
Thinking of An Qi's expression when he split coconuts with bare hands, her expression when forced to eat bee pupae, her expression when she was so frightened she urinated, her expression when she felt scared as he playfully caught her changing clothes, and her expression when they passionately kissed on the beach, he couldn't help but miss this adorable woman.
"Ah! Who knows what will happen in the future, I hope everything turns out well," Lin Yifan sighed.
Sitting on the beach and gazing at the horizon where sky meets sea, he gradually became lost in thought, reminiscing.
After a long while, he finally left there.
Now that the old friends had left, more sighing was useless. Next, he needed to properly plan his life.
That night, back at home, the four of them sat down to eat, but couldn't bring themselves to feel happy; the reason being the loss of a lively and adorable companion.
Seeing this, as the man of the house, Lin Yifan felt it was his responsibility to lift everyone's spirits, so he called out, "Stop sighing, everyone, let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold."
But no one responded to him.
"How about we go upstairs and sing 'Happy'?" Lin Yifan suggested.
But again, no one responded to him.
"Hey! Jiajia, Qingqing, Fangfang, let's go watch the circus performance, I hear it's really good," Lin Yifan suggested once more.
But still, no one responded to him.
At this point, Lin Yifan's patience snapped, and he complained, "Hey! What's the use of sitting here daydreaming? An Qi won't be back for a while. We should be positive and active, so An Qi won't worry about us."
Lin Yifan's words seemed to have awoken Zhou Jiajia and the others.
At this moment, Zhou Jiajia and the others had a flash of inspiration and suddenly perked up, "Right! We should stay positive and live well, so we don't make Sister An Qi worry."
Having said that, the three of them hurriedly finished the rice in their bowls, extraordinarily quickly.
Lin Yifan was speechless; had he known this was the case, he might as well have cursed outright.
After dinner, Zhou Jiajia and the other two discussed the upcoming life plans with Lin Yifan.
"Yifan, the company has now become standardized, what should we do next?" Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing asked curiously.
"Expand the market! Increase the scale!" Lin Yifan replied.
"The market is almost saturated, and our company's scale is also among the top in Guiyuan City. How can we further expand?" Zhou Jiajia asked curiously.
"Our mobile phones have less than one percent market share domestically; how can you call that saturated? Our livestreaming company has now fallen to fifth place; how can you call that successful? And our two companies are at best medium-sized enterprises in comparison to those large corporations. They are barely noteworthy; how can they be considered truly among the top?" Lin Yifan retorted.
(The livestreaming company fell to fifth place mainly because Han Meiling left, leading many wealthy viewers to other platforms, thus significantly decreasing profits.)
Han Meiling was driven away by Xuji True Master, who had long known that Han Meiling was her senior sister's spy sent to supervise her; she did not expose Han Meiling earlier because she wanted to see what her senior sister was up to.
Now that she had found her successor, she was no longer interested in playing along with her senior sister and thus outright drove Han Meiling away.
"So, your idea is..." Zhou Jiajia and the others asked, sensing that Lin Yifan was planning something.
"My idea is to march into Yanjing and compete with the major clans there!" Lin Yifan declared ambitiously, not content with the status quo.
"March into Yanjing?" Zhou Jiajia and the others were stunned; they didn't expect Lin Yifan to choose the most economically developed place with the highest competition and a mixture of all social classes.
However, this was also in line with Lin Yifan's personality. They had long guessed that this man would not be content with a tranquil life with them.
In fact, what they didn't know was that even if you don't look for trouble, trouble will come looking for you.
Although the company had become standardized, continuing to seek stability and remaining self-satisfied would only lead to gradual decline, eventually being engulfed by the cruel competitive and rapidly advancing technological society.
Therefore, to ensure the company's survival, one must continuously climb upwards and keep mastering new technologies and innovations. The premise for all this is to go out, letting more people recognize your company and the brand you have built.
"Yifan! Are you sure you want to march into Yanjing?" Zhou Jiajia and the others wanted to reconfirm Lin Yifan's thoughts.
If Lin Yifan decided to go, they would follow without hesitation, because in their hearts, they were committed to this man. No matter how dangerous the road ahead, they wouldn't leave his side.
"Definite!" Lin Yifan confirmed confidently, "If we are to live, let's live spectacularly; we must not live this life in vain."
"Alright! Since that's the case, then we'll go to Yanjing with you, be your right-hand men, accompany you, take care of you!" Zhou Jiajia and the others moved closer, plunging into Lin Yifan's arms, enjoying the warmth of his embrace.
"Jiajia, Qingqing, Fangfang, thank you. I promise I won't let you suffer or be wronged." Lin Yifan expressed his gratitude and swore.
The fact that these three women were unconditionally following him to Yanjing showed how much they loved him; how could he then fail to honor that love?
"With your words, we are reassured," Zhou Jiajia and the others responded.
That night, Lin Yifan lay in bed, staring at the bright moon outside the window, lost in thought.
Now that he had made his life plans, he wondered how An Qi was faring on the other side of the sky.
