Chapter 496 - 495: Snow Sound’s Repair, Yulian’s Ingenious Idea

During the following days, Li Jing temporarily stayed in the Domain Lord Mansion.

He spent his free time familiarizing himself with various ways of playing the guzheng and occasionally going out for a stroll.

In the blink of an eye.

Seven days passed.

Nearing noon.

Li Jing was sitting in the back garden of the Domain Lord’s Mansion, waiting for the notification to arrive.

Today was the fifteenth day since the refinement of the Taoist Snow Sound, also the day it was to be repaired.

Noon just passed.

The repair notification arrived on time.

"Taoist Snow Sound repair complete."

Upon seeing the notification, Li Jing’s spirit lifted.

Just as he was about to take out the Snow Sound to have a look, the Snow Sound Spirit Weapon, holding its own body, appeared on its own. The powerful aura of the Taoist Item spread out infinitely from the Domain Lord’s Mansion as the center.

Caught off guard by this situation, Li Jing’s mouth twitched as he quickly put Snow Sound into the Little Universe without hesitation.

He then instructed instinctively,

"You... start by learning how to conceal your own aura. "

Snow Sound appeared on her own because she wanted to bring joy to Li Jing.

The moment she was stuffed into the Little Universe, she stalled for a moment.

Upon hearing his instructions, she subconsciously agreed but hesitated to speak.

"Master, how should I exactly do it?"

"Go find Linglong, she will teach you how to conceal your aura,"

Li Jing responded instinctively to her.

"I don’t demand much from you, at least not to let the aura of the Taoist Item leak out when not deploying your own power, otherwise you will easily scare the ’children’ when you are out."

"Children?"

The puzzled expression surfaced on Snow Sound’s emotionless face, she thought as long as she follows her master’s instructions, it would be alright. Saying "oh," she took her body and went to Qingyuan Fairy Palace.

The Domain Lord’s Mansion.

Because of the repair of the Snow Sound, Li Jing who hadn’t managed to be happy for a few seconds, took out the Smoke Eye and put it on, hiding his own aura.

This round, he admittedly had been negligent.

Snow Sound has been refined for half a month, and he should have taught her how to conceal her aura.

It was okay when she was still a Half-step Taoist Tool.

There are many of this level in the Immortal Realm.

Even if the aura was released unreservedly, unless there is a battle in the surrounding Earth Realm, the most people would wonder if some big-shot took out a Half-step Taoist Tool to play with.

But the Taoist Item is different.

This kind of item, even the Venerables might not possess.

If a Taoist Item emerges, people will inevitably come to investigate.

But that is secondary.

The main reason is.

The aura of the Taoist Item is too terrifying.

If the cultivation level is a bit lower, they would be shocked by the after-effect, even if it is not targeted at them.

With this move from Snow Sound, there might be a significant disturbance in Phoenix Sun County.

Just as Li Jing put on the Smoke Eye to hide his aura, dozens of incredibly powerful divine senses, that appeared to be from the Twelfth Realm level beings, rushed over and hovered above the Domain Lord’s Mansion.

At the same time.

A cold hum from Li Lingyin resounded in the air above the Domain Lord Mansion.

The instant she made a sound, the dozens of divine senses that had arrived rapidly retreated.

Right after.

Li Lingyin herself appeared in the back garden with a weird expression, a knitted brow, looking at him.

"Li Jing, what are you up to?"

"Sorry, I just wanted to take out my newly acquired Taoist Item to play around and get familiar with it. I didn’t consider that she doesn’t know how to conceal her own aura yet."

Li Jing gave an embarrassed smile.

"..."

Li Lingyin.

She naturally had sensed the aura of the Taoist Item earlier.

She was very certain.

Not only was the item in Li Jing’s hand, but it wasn’t the Unnamed Taoist Tool either.

After all, Li Lingyin had seen the Unnamed Taoist Tool and felt its aura. The Taoist Item that appeared in the Domain Lord’s Mansion a moment ago might be as powerful, but they were fundamentally different.

The imposing manner of the Unnamed Taoist Tool carried a destructive force.

The one that just appeared, however, exhibited a light and illusory aura.

With its emergence in the Domain Lord Mansion, the air temperature dropped at least ten degrees, with a tendency for rain and snow to quietly condense in the high sky.

It was obvious.

At least one of the rules governed by this Taoist item was related to ice and snow.

It definitely couldn’t be the Unnamed Taoist Tool.

On the way here, Li Lingyin was curious about where Li Jing had managed to conjure up another Taoist item.

But at this moment, hearing his words, she didn’t know what to say.

Even though she had considered that the Taoist item that just appeared should belong to Li Jing, the confirmation left her a bit numb...

How many more "surprises" did Li Jing intend to spring on her?

He possessed two Taoist items, which were rarities even among the strong Venerable Realm practitioners.

Plus, this one seemed freshly acquired.

Meaning.

Li Jing didn’t originally have it.

Suddenly, he did...

Aren’t Taoist items supposed to be achieved through the understanding of the Spirit Weapon itself?

How come he had suddenly got a new one? Wasn’t that like reaching for the sky?

Seeing Li Lingyin looking at him with a numb face, Li Jing scratch his head and chuckled awkwardly.

"Strictly speaking, it can’t be called freshly acquired. This Taoist item of mine..."

He started to explain, then extended his hand.

"It’s too complicated to explain in detail. Give me your hand."

?

Li Lingyin gave a questioning look but, after a moment’s hesitation, put her slender jade hand into his.

"Don’t resist, and try not to be too shocked later."

Li Jing gave a slight smile and, with a thought, took Li Lingyin into the Little Universe.

...

The spatial displacement was completed in the blink of an eye.

Upon entering the Little Universe, Li Lingyin was stunned.

Having spent three thousand years in the Ascendant Celestial Realm, not only had she become a Domain Lord, but she had also experienced a great deal.

Rather than living a sheltered life, she travelled frequently for her Path of the Wine God cultivation, which required her to seek out fine wines to aid her cultivation. So, even before she became a Domain Lord, she was often on the move.

Regarding her exposure.

No one in the entire Cangming Realm could match her.

The moment she entered, Li Lingyin had a judgment.

This was...

A separate world!

And Li Jing, who had brought her from the Immortal Realm to here in the blink of an eye, was undoubtedly the master of this world.

To possess a world...

What did this mean?

Others might not know, but Li Lingyin understood.

In the entire Four Realms of Immortals and Zhong Shen Zhou, it was not uncommon for Venerables to have their own independent spaces capable of housing living beings.

Yes, there were also secret methods and treasures in the Immortal Realm to create independent spaces.

But independent space and a world were two separate concepts.

In the entire Immortal Realm, only the Four Emperors had their own separate worlds.

The Four Emperors were essentially at the peak of the Venerable Realm.

They stood out as Emperors precisely because they had their own worlds, which allowed them to freely move between different worlds, enabling them to suppress or even obliterate other peak Venerable Realm powerhouses without any effort.

Gazing blankly at Li Jing, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, Li Lingyin opened her mouth soundlessly, hesitating to say.

"You have to tell me the truth. Were all the things you told me before lies? Are you actually...a reincarnated Emperor from the past, coincidentally reincarnated on Earth, then ’smuggled’ yourself over when I ascended and opened the heavenly path?"

Li Jing was stupefied.

Li Lingyin’s imagination, whether he liked it or not, was quite rich.

Some people had guessed before that he was the reincarnation of a Venerable.

But Li Lingyin went so far as to guess that he was the reincarnated Emperor from the past...

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Li Jing said.

"I am me, not an Emperor reincarnated. I haven’t lied to you, I really was born and raised on Earth."

Continuing, he said.

"This Little Universe was created from scratch as a result of various opportunities. It all started when I got a Life Tree seed."

"Life Tree Seed!?"

Li Lingyin’s eyes bulged, and she then confirmed out loud.

"The Life Tree Seed you mentioned, is it the same one from legends which will fully grow and become an Immortal Medicine?"

"Yes."

Li Jing nodded, and with a thought, he brought Li Lingyin in front of two Life Trees.

Upon seeing the taller and shorter Life Trees, Li Lingyin fell into prolonged silence.

She had heard of, but never seen a Life Tree.

Whether or not the two trees in front of her were Life Trees, she could not be sure.

But she did know this.

The potential of Life Tree seeds is to become the origin of heaven and earth. When it first buds, it can transform an independent space that does not originally accommodate living beings into one that does, and if properly nurtured, it can further catalyze the evolution of life in the corresponding independent space.

At this moment, just by looking at the two Life Trees, she could indeed detect that they concealed the mystery of life.

Struggling to tear her gaze away from the two Life Trees, Li Lingyin turned her head.

"Didn’t you say that... you accidentally got a Life Tree Seed? How come there are two trees here...?"

"It’s a long story."

Li Jing responded, tilting his head to think, then said,

"Just release your Primordial Spirit’s defenses and I will impart the relevant memories to you."

With that, he pointed out with a raised finger.

As fellow townspeople,

Li Jing trusted Li Lingyin, and naturally she trusted him as well.

Seeing Li Jing point a finger, Li Lingyin cooperatively let down her defenses of Primordial Spirit, and then a mass of memory fragments flooded into her mind.

Imparting memories is no easy task.

If it was outside, Li Jing could not do this.

But within the Little Universe, it was a piece of cake.

Through the memories imparted by Li Jing, Li Lingyin quickly understood that he had obtained the Life Tree Seed from the Ghost Clan in the Chongyuan Holy Realm, while the Ancient God’s Descendants had obtained it from the inebriated Spirit of Origin.

Learning about all these, Li Lingyin looked strange.

According to Li Jing’s memory,

The Life Tree seed he got was indeed the last one, but the Spirit of Origin had given the Ancient God’s Descendants so many life tree seeds...

This is a damn waste!

Although the Ancient God’s Descendants had the condition to sprout the Life Tree seeds, they had no clue how to use them properly.

Plenty of Life Tree seeds in the Immortal Realm could potentially produce numerous top venerables, instead of merely changing space properties allowing life to reside as "shelters".

While she was digesting the related memories, Li Jing casually touched and brought Ling Ling, who was deep asleep beneath a leaf, over.

!!!

Li Lingyin.

The Spirit of Origin is not the only being in the universe, unlike the Original Demon.

Apart from Ling Ling, there are numerous other entities of the Spirit of Origin in the universe that people have encountered.

Thus, the Immortal Realm has detailed records about these beings.

The Spirit of Origin can take any form, they may appear human, invisible, or in the form of Alien Species. Just in the books of the Immortal Realm, there are records of several dozens of them.

There are none like Ling Ling, which appears as a little elf, in the books.

However, it is easy to confirm that Ling Ling is a Spirit of Origin.

The Spirit of Origin can have different forms individually, but they share a common trait.

If one has a keen sense of the Power of Rules, they will be able to perceive countless life-related rules from the Spirit of Origin.

This moment, looking at Ling Ling, Li Lingyin felt slightly overwhelmed.

We can forget about whether it’s a Taoist artifact or not.

Li Jing even has a separate world, two Life Trees, and a Spirit of Origin...

This "foundation",

Even if the Four Great Emperors were to come, they would have to call him "brother".

The Spirit of Origin is famously friendly, innocent, and harmless.

Many people dream of seeing one and desperately lick it, trying to obtain some benefits.

As for Li Jing, he casually raises one!

Outrageous!

Absolutely outrageous!

The thing that was driving Li Lingyin a little crazy was...

At this moment, the sleeping Ling Ling radiated the aroma of Jelly Jade liquid all over her body. It was as if she had been soaked in Jelly Jade Liquid for ten days and half a month, completely marinated in it.

How much ambrosia has she drunk?

I’m envious...

Over at Li Jing’s side, things were also rather peculiarly.

Originally, he wanted to introduce Lingling to Li Lingyin, but he didn’t expect Lingling to be sound asleep.

As he sniffed the strong scent of ambrosia coming off her, Li Jing instantly realized that she had drunk herself into a stupor.

Without uttering a word, he waved his hand to send Lingling to the Life Tree, addressing Li Lingyin,

"It seems that Lingling has drank too much. I’ll introduce you to her next time."

"..."

Li Lingyin was silent, and finally spoke up in a low voice,

"Exactly how many secrets are you hiding from me?"

"Not many left. You should know most of them by now."

Li Jing laughed and pulled her in, with a thought, he brought her to the Heritage Stele in Qingyuan Fairy Palace.

Li Lingyin was mentally prepared for another "surprise" when she was suddenly brought here.

But as she saw the Heritage Stele, she could not help herself but exclaim.

"The Enlightenment Stone! Such a big piece!?"

Staring wide-eyed in disbelief, Li Lingyin frowned and said,

"This Enlightenment Stone seems different from the others. Someone seems to have imprinted some ancient heritage onto it using great methods."

At her words, Li Jing smiled.

"You have a good eye."

With this, he extended his hand and transferred the memory regarding the Qingyuan Fairy Palace over to her.

Knowing that Li Jing had "found" a whole Qingyuan Fairy Palace by himself, Li Lingyin felt a little overwhelmed.

Damn it!

We’re both from Earth.

And we both ascended on the same day.

How come Li Jing’s luck is so astronomical?

In fantasy novels before transmigration, he would have been a perfect main character.

A Life Tree seed was given to him as a gift.

The Spirit of Origin, entrusted to him for nurturing.

A massive Enlightenment Stone containing an ancient heritage, found by him...

Luck? More like he’s soaring through the heavens!

With all these incredible items, it made sense that he could defeat a Twelfth Realm individual while being only in the Tenth Realm.

The potential influence of these items was immense!

If any one of them were to be brought out, it could cause turmoil across the entire Immortal Realm,

The Emperors of the Four Directions could even begin to fight...

As she was in a daze, Li Lingyin noticed Snow Sound, who was learning from Linglong how to conceal her aura.

Snow Sound was a very special Spirit Weapon.

She was a rare humanoid Spirit Weapon with Beast Class features, but she was also a pure white cat-eared girl, characteristics that were extremely rare.

Once she noticed Snow Sound, Li Lingyin also noticed the weapon in her arms.

The Taoist Artifact she held was nearly identical to the half-step Taoist Guzheng Feng Xie gave to Tong Rou. The only difference was the color.

Snow Sound’s artifact was snow-colored.

While Tong Rou’s was green.

Li Lingyin was a smart woman.

Upon seeing Snow Sound’s artifact, she suddenly made a connection.

This Taoist Item, indeed, was something that Li Jing had gotten recently.

To be precise,

It had been created by a stroke of luck while he was refining the artifact for Feng Xie.

Facing Li Jing, Li Lingyin took a deep breath.

"You... Actually refined a Taoist Item?"

"Yes."

Li Jing smiled and nodded, then brought her out of the Little Universe.

When she was suddenly back at Domain Lord Mansion, Li Lingyin blinked but quickly spoke up,

"Wait! Why did you take me out all of a sudden? At least let me look at the Enlightenment..."

Halfway through, she realized she was being too "impatient". She clinched onto Li Jing’s arm, hugging tightly while putting on a cutesy voice,

"Dear big brother, let me try out your Enlightenment Stone!"

Li Jing was no stranger to Li Lingyin’s shameless antics, which ordinary people never saw.

Had he not known that Li Lingyin was originally from Earth, and used to the patterns of "city girls," he might have wondered how she ever became a Domain Lord.

Looking at Li Lingyin wordlessly, Li Jing said,

"Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future. Haven’t I let you into the Little Universe already?"

Continuing, he added,

"Tong Rou will probably be in touch soon. Let’s deal with the Star God Temple matter first. As for what just happened, I’ll need you to cover for me. Those who came to investigate earlier were scared off by you, but I expect more will come to check on you and try to get some information."

Reminded by Li Jing, Li Lingyin realized she needed to properly handle the aftermath of the recent events to avoid causing trouble for her Domain Lord Mansion.

The Taoist artifact had emerged in the world.

It was inevitable that others would investigate.

Li Jing obviously didn’t want others to know it was him.

Fortunately, Li Jing had promptly used Smoke Eye to hide his own aura, so that the bold people who tried to observe the Domain Lord Mansion with their Primordial Spirits couldn’t detect him.

Speak of the devil.

Before the two could discuss this matter further, two streaks of light fell in front of the gate of the Domain Lord Mansion.

A familiar male voice then rang out,

"Master Li, Feng Xie asks for an audience."

Immediately after, a female voice echoed,

"Tong Rou of the Immortal Music Palace, seeking to see Master Li."

Hearing these two voices one after the other, both Li Jing and Li Lingyin made a sour face.

There was no doubt that someone would come to probe.

But the first two to arrive...

However, after a moment of thought, they dismissed their suspicions.

Of the twelve territories in Phoenix Sun County, many were headed by well-known figures.

But if you asked who had the biggest stature, the city lord Feng Xie and Tong Rou, who was currently staying in Phoenix Sun County, were undoubtedly the two largest figures.

Others couldn’t just run over to visit without a reason.

They surely couldn’t just ask blatantly, "Master Li, have you raised a Taoist artifact?"

Just like on Blue Star.

It was an extremely serious taboo in the Immortal Realm to inquire about someone else’s cultivation without reason. Such behavior could be seen as malicious.

Feeling a surge of frustration, Li Lingyin let go of Li Jing and said,

"You hide somewhere out of sight, I’ll take care of things in the mansion."

"Alright."

Li Jing nodded, saying,

"While you’re at it, ask Tong Rou when she plans on returning to the Immortal Music Palace."

After that, he transformed into a shadow and shot off, disappearing in an instant.

Seeing Li Jing turn into a shadow to leave, rather than tearing space, Li Lingyin was momentarily stunned. Then, shrugging, she turned and headed towards the back courtyard.

...

With Li Lingyin covering for him, Li Jing naturally didn’t have to worry about the aftermath.

Slipping out the back gate as a shadow, he made a beeline for the Ta Xue Trading Company.

During these seven days.

He’d always been holed up in the Domain Lord Mansion, and hadn’t been to the Ta Xue Trading Company.

Now that he had left the mansion to avoid suspicion, he decided to swing by, check on any new orders.

Suddenly.

Quiet as a cat, Li Jing slipped into the almost "private" third-floor VIP room of the Ta Xue Trading Company, poured himself some tea, and removed Smoke Eye’s covering of his aura.

Before long.

The door to the VIP room was pushed open, and in walked Tong Xiaoxiao, looking rather odd.

Seeing Li Jing wearing Smoke Eye and covering his face, she paused for a moment before coming closer and saying,

"Master Li, I’ve seen your real face, and you didn’t hide your name or identity at the City Lord’s Banquet. You don’t need to hide like this here, do you?"

"You’re right."

Li Jing chuckled, sliding Smoke Eye up to hang on the side of his head. He tilted his head and asked,

"But what about you, Miss Tong? If I hadn’t been invited to the City Lord’s Banquet by Master Li at the last minute, I’d still be in the dark. I had no idea you were Tong Rou of the Immortal Music Palace’s younger sister."

Meeting his words with a coquettish smile, Tong Xiaoxiao said,

"Everyone has their secrets, it’s understandable, isn’t it? Besides, Master Li, you didn’t tell me either that you, upon arriving in the Immortal Realm not long ago, quickly became close to the renowned Master Li."

Li Jing was rendered speechless.

Did news of his "closeness" with Li Lingyin spread so quickly?

Shaking his head, Li Jing didn’t bother to make redundant justifications. He asked,

"Has anyone come in these days to place an order for Artifact Refinement?"

"Yes, and quite a lot,"

responded Tong Xiaoxiao.

"Master Li, you made quite the impression at the City Lord’s Banquet, and have attracted many potential customers to our doorstep at Ta Xue Trading Company ever since. Unfortunately, no suitable order has come in yet."

?

Li Jing was confused.

"Most of the requests have been for ordinary Immortal Items. Those who do ask for Half-step Taoist Items usually can’t even provide twenty-five parts of the required materials."

Tong Xiaoxiao voiced her helplessness and added,

"Given your current reputation, Master Li, accepting orders for Immortal Items would be undignifying."

"..."

Li Jing.

He wanted to say that refining Immortal Items wasn’t beyond him, as they were comparatively simpler to make.

But on further reflection, he did agree with Tong Xiaoxiao’s perspective.

While he could make a profit from refining Immortal Items, it would be less lucrative compared to Half-step Taoist Items.

Furthermore, the materials for Immortal Items weren’t very useful to him.

Liu Sisi and the rest already possessed all the necessary Immortal Items, albeit of lower quality.

That wasn’t a problem.

They could simply cultivate in the Zhenyuan Tower in their spare time.

In contrast, upgrading everyone’s "equipment" to Half-step Taoist Items seemed like a more reliable plan.

As for the materials for Half-step Taoist Items,

While Li Jing could now afford to purchase some, it would heavily depend on how much he could acquire.

Instead of spending money to buy them, it would be more efficient to fulfill orders and receive them as remuneration.

Considering that he was certain to receive a large order at the Immortal Music Palace, Li Jing exhaled and rose to his feet, saying,

"In that case, I’ll take my leave first. Tong, as the manager, you must have met Master Tong and are aware that I’ll be going to the Immortal Music Palace next. We’ll probably not see each other for a while."

Having said that, he raised his hand and ripped through the space, disappearing from sight.

"..."

Tong Xiaoxiao.

Everything else was fine.

But the fact that Li Jing always seemed to be there one moment and gone the next irked her. He came and went so suddenly that she had no chance to engage in further conversation.

She thought to herself,

Even though I’m a stunning beauty, it couldn’t hurt to chat and foster a better relationship between employer and employee, could it?

Yet Li Jing always came and went like the wind.

Before, at least he would say goodbyes.

Now, he didn’t even bother with that...

...

Chen Tang City.

On his return through the spatial rift, Li Jing landed near the Zhenyuan Tower.

He noticed that Yulian, Ji Qing, and Bai Yu had all returned, but Liu Sisi and the others were still nowhere in sight.

Bai Yu was already soaking in the top level of the Zhenyuan Tower.

Meanwhile, Yulian and Ji Qing were cultivating on floors suitable for their Cultivation level.

Without giving it much thought, Li Jing entered the Zhenyuan Tower.

Soon, he found the silent room where Yulian and Ji Qing were.

Both women were simply meditating, not in trance.

As Li Jing stepped through the door, they opened their eyes simultaneously.

Seeing it was him, Yulian gave a charming smile.

Ji Qing’s eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up, exclaiming,

"Finally, you’re back, Li Jing! Let me into the Little Universe. I want to play games with Little Obstruction!"

"..."

Li Jing.

He was about to greet the two when Ji Qing caught him off guard with her unexpected request, leaving him at a loss for words.

Looking at her with disbelief, Li Jing asked,

"You’ve only been in the Immortal Realm for a little while. Has the excitement worn off already?"

"This has nothing to do with the novelty wearing off. But honestly, staying in Chen Tang City has just been too boring."

Ji Qing grumbled aloud, babbling on and on.

"Sisi and the others are not around, and those Ancient God’s Descendants are always soaking on the top floor of Zhenyuan Tower all day. Both Yulian and I are merely spending our lives in vain. We might as well go out for a stroll; the only ones we can talk to are basically ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing was taken aback.

During his time in the Immortal Realm, he had been out and about.

Or he was with Li Lingyin.

His days were pretty fulfilling, hence he didn’t feel much.

But now, after hearing Ji Qing’s complaints, he finally realized.

Chen Tang City is indeed too desolate now.

With Liu Sisi and the others not around, only Ji Qing and Yulian are left.

It’s okay if there are things to do, but when they’re idle, they’re bound to feel bored.

Not to mention Ji Qing, who has never seriously practiced cultivation before, even Yulian may not be able to stand this kind of life.

After all, the Immortal Realm is not the mundane realm.

If there is nothing to do, you can find some entertainment.

But to solve this, there isn’t a good solution.

The key is that they’ve established Chen Tang City as their own but not with the intention of creating a new Sect. They will definitely absorb outsiders, but they do not plan to widely recruit disciples, so it’s impossible to become lively for the time being.

After a brief silence, Li Jing said to Ji Qing.

"I’ll be making a trip to the one of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces, Immortal Music Palace, later on. Do you want to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Qing quickly waved her hand.

"No, I’m not interested! All I want to do now is play games!"

"...."

Li Jing.

Obviously, Ji Qing is experiencing withdrawal symptoms after the buzz of going shopping.

Having no other choice, he could only stretch out his hand and let Ji Qing enter the Little Universe.

He had always been quite indulgent towards this spoiled cat.

Just let her play in the Little Universe for now, and they can talk about it when they return from the trip to the Immortal Music Palace.

After sending Ji Qing away, Li Jing turned to Yulian.

"Ayu, you..."

"I do want to see the Immortal Music Palace."

Yulian gave a soft laugh and said.

"I can accompany you, as long as you don’t think I’m in the way."

Li Jing was startled and said.

"How could I possibly think you’re in the way?"

With that, he glanced around and sat down next to Yulian.

Seeing this, Yulian frowned slightly and then admonished him.

"Don’t misbehave, Longxu and Zhaixing Zi are still cultivating on this floor of the Zhenyuan Tower. It is not appropriate to make too much noise."

"...."

Li Jing.

He wasn’t planning to do anything.

He just hadn’t been close to Yulian for a long time and finally had an opportunity to be alone with her and wanted to chat.

Li Jing isn’t an animal who thinks about such things all the time, right?

But having said that.

With Yulian’s reminder, he couldn’t help but start thinking about it.

With a beautiful fox like Yulian right in front of him, who could resist not eating her up?

Reaching out his arm around Yulian’s waist, Li Jing tentatively said,

"How about we go outside?"

Yulian has always been compliant towards Li Jing.

Even before their relationship was confirmed, she was like this.

Even after they were in a relationship, she never demanded to hold the "emperor" position in the family.

When she was hugged, she nestled up to him obediently.

Suddenly hearing his suggestion, she pulled her mouth slightly, and looked at him with a faint gaze.

"If you want, I don’t mind. After all, I’ve been yours for a long time. But aren’t we going to the Immortal Music Palace next? You probably won’t last long, right?"

"...."

Li Jing.

Although reluctant to admit it, he seemed to be under Yulian’s control in this round.

If they left now, he indeed wouldn’t last long.

"I’ll have to catch up with Li Lingyin later to confirm when Tong Rou is leaving."

This tiny amount of time, how is it enough for him to fuss about it?

With a bitter expression, he discarded his thoughts and asked Li Jing.

"Ayu, when did you and Ji Qing get back?"

"About five days ago."

Yulian obediently replied, then added.

"Sisi and the others haven’t come back yet. Ji Qing and I tried to inquire in Haotian City. The blessed land they went to is usually open for about a month each time. I suppose they probably won’t be back for at least half a month."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing nodded and asked again.

"Ayu, have you run out of the Immortal Crystals on you?"

Facing this, Yulian slightly frowned.

"Do I look like a spendthrift to you?"

"Ah, no, that’s not what I meant."

Li Jing coughed and then took out an Enclosed Crystal Ring containing over 2.8 million top-grade Immortal Crystals and more than ten female-design Enclosed Crystal Rings.

"This is my first pot of gold I earned today. Ayu, please split them up, put 800,000 in each and put them in the Enclosed Crystal Rings for Sisi and the others. Later, give it to Bai Yu. We might not come back from the Immortal Music Palace. It’s more appropriate to have Bai Yu give it to them."

While speaking, Li Jing continued.

"As for the rest, Ayu, you should think about doing some small business. You were a businesswoman, you should be better at this than I."

Hearing his words, Yulian uttered strangely.

"Are you... asking me to be the housekeeper?"

"Are you not willing?"

Li Jing blinked.

"..."

Yulian.

Managing money? How could she not want that?

Especially when Li Jing even let her do business, this is something she was actually quite looking forward to.

As Li Jing said.

She was originally a businesswoman.

Being a monster and living in the Eastern Immortal Domain may not seem repugnant on the surface, but the limitations are considerable. There are limitations on where she could roam.

A day job in Chen Tang City is quite boring too.

Li Jing is not likely to be by her side at all times.

She gently bit her lip, accepted the Enclosed Crystal Ring, and then spoke.

"Do you think it is feasible for me to go back to my old field in the Immortal Realm, and work in the entertainment industry?"

"..."

Li Jing.

"Work on entertainment in the Immortal Realm?"

Is she serious?

They can’t make movies or anything here...

As if knowing what Li Jing was thinking, Yulian said.

"Don’t get me wrong. I’m not planning to nurture a few idols for their debut or make a TV show. I mean, I’m prepared to introduce some entertainment that the Immortal Realm doesn’t have, like mahjong and dance halls. Anyway, Que City has all the hardware facilities we need. Upon completion, we can use Modern Blue Star culture as a label and establish our brand. The Cangming Realm is full of Ascendants from Blue Star, they must be curious about those things, right?"

Hearing Yulian’s explanation, Li Jing furrowed his brows slightly.

Frankly speaking

Yulian’s idea is a bit far-fetched.

But on second thought...

T.M. it seems actually feasible...

Modern Blue Star culture.

Whether it could be popular elsewhere is questionable, but it’s bound to be a hit in the Cangming Realm.

After silent for a while, Li Jing pulled Yulian up from her seat.

"Let’s go. We are going to buy a house in Phoenix Sun County."

???

Yulian.

"First secure a plot of land, we can talk about the rest later."

Li Jing was excited.

"..."

Yulian.

She just had a bold idea and Li Jing has already approved of it?

...
