Chapter 3796: What Do You Care About?

Ye Liuyun's first stop was the base set up by the Meng family outside the Xing Xi.

To let Guǐ Sòu learn about the Meng family's business, he also brought Guǐ Sòu along and introduced him to the Meng family members. That way, he could later offload all Meng family business matters onto Guǐ Sòu.

Lan Ruobing and Meng Fei were in charge of receiving him. Following Lan Ruobing's suggestion, they had Ye Liuyun barbecue meat, hold a simple gathering, and chat about the current situation.

But Meng Fei thought treating the God King that way was too shabby, so he still arranged a formal banquet, even inviting the head of the Meng family and several Elders.

"We're all our own people; why go to such formalities?"

Sure enough, upon seeing this scene, Ye Liuyun blurted it out without even thinking.

"After all, your current status is that of a God King..." Meng Fei still wanted to explain.

Ye Liuyun, however, simply waved his hand to interrupt.

"Our cooperation has nothing to do with the God King. The profit sharing is for me alone, not for the dynasty!"

However, since the food and drink were already prepared, not eating would be wasteful. So he told Meng Fei not to make this a habit, and still sat down.

During the banquet, Meng Changxuan also thought that since Ye Liuyun had become a God King, he might want an extra ten percent share, and probed him with a question.

Ye Liuyun also spoke directly: "No need, I think our previous agreement is fine. I don't need that much money. Don't think that just because I've become a God King I'll use my status to bully you.

"I've said before, our cooperation is about exploring the Outer Region. I don't care about more or less income. As long as our cooperation is pleasant, we'll keep working together!"

Only after his persuasion did the Meng family members finally relax a little.

Guǐ Sòu listened from the side and felt that Ye Liuyun truly didn't care about those earnings.

"He cares neither for power nor money, nor is he lustful—so what does he actually care about?"

He even suspected that Ye Liuyun was somewhat desireless and pursuitless.

Ye Liuyun could sense his thoughts through the slave seal and directly told him.

"I care about family, friends, and increasing my strength!"

Guǐ Sòu nodded, thinking in his heart, wondering when he could be considered Ye Liuyun's friend.

Ye Liuyun also smiled and told Guǐ Sòu: "You're almost there! Actually, although I gave you the slave seal, I normally don't use it to monitor or restrict you. It's just a precaution.

Even if I consider you a friend, the slave seal will still remain. After all, the responsibility I've entrusted to you is too great; even if I can trust you, I worry you might be controlled by others.

With this slave seal, we can ensure there are no barriers or suspicions between us, making communication and cooperation easier. If someone tries to control you, I'll know right away."

Guǐ Sòu thought it was indeed true—Ye Liuyun had never used the slave seal to interfere with his decisions. Moreover, as long as the slave seal exists, whether used or not, there's no need for mutual suspicion between him and Ye Liuyun, making communication effortless.

So after he let it go, he didn't pay much attention to the slave seal anymore, treating it as if it didn't exist. In fact, he usually couldn't feel anything unusual about the slave seal, and it never hindered his actions.

Ye Liuyun also chatted with the Meng family about the outer region; as for business, he didn't ask about it, leaving those matters to the Meng family's professionals.

"I'm about to meet up with Qin Peng and the Iron Army—do you want to come along and relax?"

Ye Liuyun asked Lan Ruobing. He felt that leaving Lan Ruobing alone here might make her feel neglected.

Lan Ruobing happily agreed. Naturally, she was delighted to go out with Ye Liuyun.

"Sure, I've been feeling bored too—I'll go with you and even help the chamber of commerce transport some supplies along the way. But you'll need to wait a day or two for the chamber of commerce to get the supplies ready!

Our trip will pass through several docking points in the Xing Xi—any problem?"

Ye Liuyun also agreed: "No problem, take your time preparing; waiting an extra two days is fine—Qin Peng isn't urgently needing me over there!"

"Do we need soldiers to escort us?" Lan Ruobing asked.

Ye Liuyun also laughed: "No need, with me here, aren't you at ease?" M..

In his space world, he actually had tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers! In the past six months, Sun Que had already produced over ten thousand skeleton soldiers.

These ten thousand Cultivation (maybe realm base) Jingjie skeleton soldiers could sweep across any Xing Xi.

Hearing that Lan Ruobing wanted to go out, Meng Fei also felt moved. She immediately applied to her father to join them. She had no particular thoughts—she simply wanted to go out for a walk.

Meng Changxuan, however, thought his daughter had become enlightened, knowing she wanted to get close to Ye Liuyun, and immediately agreed, even telling Ye Liuyun to definitely bring Meng Fei along, saying the Meng family planned to focus on cultivating Meng Fei.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind—bringing one more person was no trouble, and he wasn't worried about safety. Thus, he left the preparations to the Meng family and just waited with Lan Ruobing for departure.

After Guǐ Sòu met the Meng family, he roughly understood their cooperation, left contact information, and directly returned to the royal palace.

Without Ye Liuyun, the entire dynasty relied on him to hold things together. Actually, Guǐ Sòu wasn't very busy after returning; he just watched the cabinet officials work, rarely needing to step in.

Without Ye Liuyun, the whole dynasty would rely on him to prop it up. Actually Guǐ Sòu, after returning, wasn't very busy; just watching the cabinet officials work in an orderly manner was enough, and there were rarely any matters that required him to step in and handle. The whole Spirit Cloud Dynasty had basically been put in order by him.

On another front, those who followed Yu Xiaofeng's army also included some Li family members, among them Li Qianjiao. They were following Yu Xiaofeng to develop the outer region market.

Li Qianjiao never imagined that Ye Liuyun would overthrow the God King so quickly, ascend the throne, and bring the entire Xing Xi under his control.

According to Li Chengfeng's words, no matter how highly they regarded Ye Liuyun, they actually underestimated him. Ye Liuyun's ability had already far surpassed their knowledge.

Li Qianjiao now realized she had underestimated Ye Liuyun, and by a lot.

She was now following the Li family chamber of commerce outward, also wanting to go out to broaden her horizons, improve her strength, and avoid being narrow‑minded.

"I don't know if he still remembers me, the woman who always underestimated him!"

Li Qianjiao still often thought of Ye Liuyun—she hoped to see him, yet feared that seeing him would be even more awkward, not knowing what to say.

While Ye Liuyun accompanied Lan Ruobing at the base, he would put her into his space world so she could quickly raise her realm.

Lan Ruobing hadn't expected that, during this time she was out, other women's realms had also risen by one level; most women's realms had already reached Taixu five or six layers, while Ye Tiandao's realm had already reached Taixu seven layers.

Moreover, the monster beasts' realms rose even faster—Long Nv's realm directly reached Dongtian four layers, entirely because those resources matched her too well.

Furthermore, Long Nv's bloodline had reached the level of returning to the ancestors, bloodline quality rising again. Her dragon body underwent a subtle change, taking on the form of the ancestral dragon, her length extending to over three hundred zhang.
