And Lian Xing, Huang Rong, and the others blushed upon hearing this.

Immediately after,

Jiang Chen took the camellias and walked to the women.

"I... I have one too?"

Yin Luoxia looked at Jiang Chen in a panic, her heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably.

She had heard Jiang Chen's words just now clearly.

"What's wrong, Elder Luoxia, don't you like flowers?"

"I... I like them!"

Looking into Jiang Chen's clear and bright eyes,

Yin Luoxia blushed and reached out her jade-white hand, gently taking the flowers.

Watching Jiang Chen and the group of beautiful women laughing happily, the little girl holding the camellias felt a flash of envy in her eyes, then silently ran away, weaving through the street.

"Elder Luoxia, what do you think of this location?"

After walking a few steps on the street,

Jiang Chen pointed to the side and asked.

"Ah, what do you mean?"

Elder Yin Luoxia was still thinking about Jiang Chen giving her flowers and hadn't heard Jiang Chen's words clearly for a moment.

"I mean, what do you think if we open the gambling house here?"

Jiang Chen pointed to the inns and tea shops nearby.

In Jiang Chen's view,

this location was indeed excellent.

Right in front of these shops was a fountain, and it was on the main street of Fancheng, with one end leading out of the city and the other leading straight to the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.

This street could be said to be the most prosperous area in Fancheng.

Especially this spot, which was only a few hundred meters away from the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, making it very convenient for people to come over.

"It is indeed nice."

Yin Luoxia looked around and her eyes brightened slightly.

"However... if we want these shops to move out, I'm afraid it will cost quite a lot of silver."

"It's fine."

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "No matter how much we spend in the early stages, once the gambling house opens, we'll earn it back before long."

However,

Yin Luoxia suddenly looked at one of the wine shops, her gaze revealing a hint of strangeness: "Jiang Chen, this location probably won't work."

"Why?" Jiang Chen was stunned.

Just then,

Sikong Qianluo suddenly spoke up: "Little Junior Brother, this wine shop seems to belong to the First City Lord."

"Baili Dongjun's?"

Following their gaze, Jiang Chen looked at a wine shop called "Donggui."

He then remembered

that Baili Dongjun did indeed open a tavern in Snow Moon City.

It was just that Jiang Chen hadn't expected the tavern to be exactly in the location he had set his eyes on.

"Then let's open the gambling house across the street."

Jiang Chen pointed across the street and said: "The shops across the street shouldn't be Snow Moon City's property, right?"

· · Seeking flowers · · · · · ·

If Baili Dongjun were still in Snow Moon City,

he could have discussed it with him.

But since he wasn't, Jiang Chen simply gave up, not wanting to do anything without prior consultation.

Anyway, both sides of the street were equally prosperous,

and there was no saying which side was better.

However,

Jiang Chen still planned to wait for Baili Dongjun to return and discuss whether he could move the tavern.

Since he wanted to build Snow Moon City into the true number one city in the world, it naturally couldn't be achieved just by having an Ascending Heaven Pavilion and a gambling house.

His idea was

to first open the largest gambling house in Northern Li here,

and then open the largest brothel or "pleasure house" in Northern Li across from the gambling house!

Of course,

in this brothel,

the women would only sell their art, not their bodies.

Simply put,

it would be a place to listen to music.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Yin Luoxia looked at the shops across the street and then shook her head with a smile.

Snow Moon City didn't have many properties in Fancheng.

After all, just collecting the rent and taxes from these shops was enough for Snow Moon City's daily expenses.

"In that case, let's go over and talk to the owners of those shops now."

Jiang Chen walked directly across the street.

Seeing this,

the women followed one after another.

About half an hour later, Jiang Chen's group returned to the entrance of the "Donggui" wine shop.

With the status of Snow Moon City,

the owners of the shops across the street were very straightforward, saying that as long as they were given three days, they could move out completely.

Of course,

this was mainly because Jiang Chen not only promised to provide them with new places to open their shops but also gave them a satisfactory price.

Jiang Chen didn't make things difficult for these shop owners.

After all, they were doing business in Snow Moon City and had contributed quite a bit of tax to the city.

"Let's go, let's taste the wine brewed by the First City Lord."

Jiang Chen glanced at the "Donggui" sign and then walked in with a smile.

Having been in Snow Moon City for so long,

he hadn't tasted the wine brewed by Baili Dongjun yet.

Baili Dongjun could be called a Sword Immortal when holding a sword and a Blade Immortal when holding a blade, yet he called himself a Wine Immortal.

Furthermore,

the wine brewed by Baili Dongjun was extremely famous throughout the Jianghu.

Especially the "Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon," which was like a work of nature.

However,

"Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon" was only best when freshly brewed, and now that Baili Dongjun wasn't here, everyone naturally couldn't drink it.

But besides "Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon,"

there were the seven star-night wines: Tian-shu, Tian-xuan, Tian-ji, Tian-quan, Yu-heng, Kai-yang, and Yao-guang,

as well as twelve other wines like Sangluo, Xinfeng, Zhuyu, Songlao, Chang'an, Tusu, Yuanzheng, Osmanthus, Dukang, Pine Flower, Shengwen, and Prajna, which were also world-class treasures.

Just as they walked into the wine shop,

the faint aroma of wine made Jiang Chen sniff his nose involuntarily.

"Guest, please come in..."

The waiter saw Jiang Chen and was about to speak when he saw Sikong Qianluo and the others following closely behind, and was immediately startled, quickly bowing respectfully: "Greetings, Eldest Miss, Elder Luoxia."

As for Sikong Qianluo,
