"Is this true?"
Li Yunjing’s expression turned serious as he looked at Xing’Er and Yue’Er. "Who’s behind these pirates?"
"We’ve investigated, these pirates have some ties with the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’. They want to disrupt the trading of resources by raiding the trading companies and block all parties."
Yue’Er put down the teacup and said softly.
As she spoke, Yue’Er pulled out a map, her fingertips gliding over the marked locations on the paper. "But we’re not to be trifled with either; we’ve set up ambushes on the waterways of these sea regions. If anyone dares to come again, they’ll surely never return."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Li Yunjing looked at the two women with determined eyes, his heart filled with comfort. He extended his arms to embrace them, "I’ve come to the East Sea this time precisely to deal with the Celestial Net Dao Sect. With me here, I won’t let you bear any grievance."
He bent down to kiss Xing’Er’s forehead, then turned to Yue’Er, "Have you encountered any danger over these years?"
"Naturally, there were dangers, but each time we managed to turn peril into safety."
Yue’Er leaned on his shoulder, speaking softly, "After Brother Li left, we weren’t idle either. Not only did we improve our cultivation, but we also learned a lot of new skills."
She raised her hand to summon a spirit spell, which condensed into dazzling light in the air, "Look, this is a secret technique we learned from ancient East Sea texts, quite handy for self-defense."
Xing’Er, unwilling to be outdone, lightly waved her jade hand, and the star bells at her waist flew out, transforming into a beam of starlight that rotated around the room. "I’ve also learned to control the star bells. Now they can not only perform sound wave attacks, but also track enemies."
The techniques displayed by the two women hadn’t fully unleashed their power, but Li Yunjing still felt the strength within them, clearly top-tier among Tier Two magic.
It seems the two of them hadn’t been slacking, diligently cultivating and enhancing their strength.
Of course, from Li Yunjing’s perspective, such strength was almost insignificant.
When he was at this realm, he was already invincible.
No one in the same realm could compete with him!
"Good, good! With such progress, I’m reassured."
Nonetheless, Li Yunjing still feigned happiness, his eyes filled with admiration, "Once the matter of the East Sea is settled, I’ll take you back to the Southern Heaven Continent to show you an even broader world."
He hugged the two women tightly in this aromatic chamber, the three of them softly sharing the bits and pieces after their separation, as if trying to make up for the time they missed over the years.
Xing’Er and Yue’Er also learned the purpose of Li Yunjing’s visit, along with the news of him getting married.
Xing’Er and Yue’Er weren’t too bothered. They already knew what Li Yunjing’s private life was like and understood the high status of Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi.
Now, the two women were very satisfied with their current lives.
Li Yunjing’s affection for them wasn’t fake; the two women could feel it.
Three days later, Li Yunjing saw that the cultivation of the two women had stabilized, and a hint of smile appeared on his face.
When there’s time, he’s more than willing to use the "Yin Yang Harmony Scripture" to help his women enhance their cultivation.
With his assistance, Xing’Er and Yue’Er could cultivate faster, saving time as they prepared for Core Formation in the future.
After washing up, the three began to talk about business.
Yue’Er took out a record book, her face flushed as she smiled, "Here are the business accounts of the past twenty years."
Li Yunjing leaned against the ornate sandalwood bed, accepting the spirit tea Xing’Er handed over, taking a sip. The tea aroma was mixed with light osmanthus sweetness.
He raised an eyebrow, looking at the ledger in Yue’Er’s hand, "Tell me, how much has ’Star Moon Trading Company’ earned in gold and silver in the East Sea over these years?"
Xing’Er sat beside him, the star bells in her hair jingling lightly, "After Brother Li left last time, we established three new branches following your method. Now, in the East Sea, we have five shops. From spirit stone trades alone, we earn three million low grade spirit stones annually!"
"Especially with deep-sea profound iron, due to the war, the price has skyrocketed more than tenfold!"
She looked at him with pride shining in her eyes, "Our ’Star Moon Trading Company’ has stored a lot of profound iron! Enough to sell for decades!"
"Excellent! You have great business acumen!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing’s eyes lit up, nodding repeatedly in praise.
This kind of keen intuition is more important than anything else.
In business affairs, if you want to be successful, you need this keen intuition, discovering opportunities before others do.
Xing’Er and Yue’Er’s consideration of the war factors was far beyond Li Yunjing’s expectations.
"The Spirit Plant Hall also yields considerable profits."
Yue’Er flipped through the ledger, her slender fingers gliding over the dense text, "We’ve leased spirit fields on many islands, cultivating ’Dragon Saliva Fragrant Orchid’. One plant can exchange for ten magical artifacts. However..."
Her expression slightly tensed, "’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ invasion has partially blocked sea regions, causing transportation costs to soar, cutting plant profits by twenty percent these years."
"No problem."
Li Yunjing stroked his chin, laughing softly, "’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ wants to fight; we’ll take the chance to raise prices. Mark all those scarce spiritual materials and elixirs at sky-high prices!"
A cunning gleam flashed in his eye, "If they want a war of attrition, we’ll profit from the war."
"Brother Li always has great ideas!"
Xing’Er clapped her hands and laughed, "By the way, we’ve also opened a new business. Providing intelligence to major sects."
She lowered her voice mysteriously, "Which place in the East Sea lacks spirit stones, where secret realms are appearing, all these tidbits are worth quite a sum of money!"
