The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss

Chapter 707-709 Fifth Level of Seal

At Sun Never Sets, people were still busy with their daily life.

The construction of the city was soon coming to an end. Everyone’s heart was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

At the moment, Shen Yanxiao was planning the future development of Sun Never Sets with the five beasts in her mansion.

“After the city is complete, our first priority is to attract merchants to come here. However, for the trade caravans to safely cross the Forsaken Land, Xiaoxiao, you need to make sure of security measures along the way.” As the economic minister, Qi Xia’s focus was on the future prosperity of Sun Never Sets.

Only by opening up the path between Sun Never Sets and the Longxuan Empire could they turn the resources of the Forsaken Land into true wealth. Otherwise, the resources piling up here would only be a pile of garbage.

“You don’t have to worry about security. Recently, a large number of demons have surrendered to Sun Never Sets. Before we open up the trade route, I will take Jia Lan and the other advanced demons with me to gather all the advanced demons in the area. They will then each command the demons in their areas. I promise you that you will not hear of any incidents of demons hurting humans in the eastern region of the Forsaken Land.” Demons, which could pose as the biggest problem to any other people, had become the easiest thing to sort out. The three plants were growing quite fast in the underground magic array, and many more plants had been cultivated. The dark elements they produced could meet the demands of all the demons in the eastern region.

“The problem with the demons is easily fixed. But how can we lure those profit-seeking merchants to the Forsaken Land? For all I know, merchants of the Longxuan Empire fear the Forsaken Land. Whether they are willing to come out here or not is an issue. Qi Xia, your family has so many stores. Can’t you just grab some and move them here?” Tang Nazhi asked, trying to boast about his intelligence.

Qi Xia shrugged and answered with his lazy voice.

“I am fine with it. However, if we rely on the Qilin Family, Sun Never Sets will not be Xiaoxiao’s territory. I am afraid that someone is going to beat me up if I monopolize all the resources.”

Shen Yanxiao rolled her eyes at Qi Xia. She knew he was merely joking. The Qilin Family had strong economic powers. That being said, she aimed to open up to all the merchants in the Longxuan Empire. Relying on the Qilin Family alone was far from enough.

“As a matter of fact, Tang Nazhi had touched upon the key issue here. Merchants seek nothing but profit. They will not be able to resist the urge to come even if they are aware of the risks when we display the huge profit potential in front of them.” As an unscrupulous merchant himself, Qi Xia knew very well about the very nature of merchants.

“As long as we can provide quality merchandise, I am convinced that merchants will come. The mineral products of the Forsaken Land are a huge lure. But for them to understand the profit potential here, the first thing we need to do is to let them come here. As for this issue, I have an idea. We can set up an auction house in Sun Never Sets and present rare treasures of the world. Naturally, this will attract some groups. Then, we will have people promote it for us for free.” Qi Xia soon came up with a good idea. No wonder he was a genius in business.

!!..
“That is easy. The Century-old Spirit Weapon is about to be completed. I can discuss with my father about selling the Century-old Spirit Weapon at the auction house in Sun Never Sets. Plus, my father is an adrenaline-junkie. Opening up an auction house on the territory of demons is thrilling enough. I am sure he will like it!” Yang Xi proposed an idea that involved his father. He felt no shame in proposing this evil plan.“I can provide some herbs from my family.” Yan Yu had already started to think about what herbs he should steal from their warehouse to get them a good deal.

“I will take care of the venue of the auction house and the staff members. I will have them transport the rare items that we can collect soon.” Qi Xia mentioned.

Tang Nazhi was upset. This was the time for them to compete in family backgrounds, but he had nothing to give. Tang Nazhi had an amazing father but the valuables in his family were not for sale!! That was the truth!

Magical arrays were practical but they could not be sold as tangible items!

“How about… we go and capture some advanced magical beasts?” Noticing how his younger brother was depressed, Li Xiaowei comforted him, which was rarely seen.

Tang Nazhi immmediately cheered up. The next second, his eyes were fixed on Little Phoenix that was curled up on Vermilion Bird’s head, sleeping soundly.

“I think… we have them now. The Phoenix is… kind of small, but if we put its parents up for sale, it will create a shocking scene.” Quite excited, Tang Nazhi was picturing how he could hold Little Phoenix in his hand and present it at the auction. He felt he could already see countless gold coins pouring into his pocket.

“…” Shen Yanxiao looked at this pair of foolish brothers. She wondered if she should warn them that fire was already bursting out from Vermilion Bird’s eyes!

How stupid did they have to be to talk about selling Little Phoenix right in the face of its guardian?

Shen Yanxiao thought Tang Nazhi was silly enough. Now, she knew that Li Xiaowei was not faring any better in the brain aspect. No wonder those two were brothers!

“If you are willing to face the fury of two Phoenixes and a Vermilion Bird, then you are welcome to have a go.” Quite carefully, Qi Xia cautioned the two brothers.

Gold coins were valuable, but not so much as life.

!!..
He wondered if Black Tortoise and Yamata no Orochi could withstand the anger of three fire-wielding mythical beasts.

That was kind of exciting to think about!

“I am making a joke…” Tang Nazhi gulped. He threw a look to Vermilion Bird whose eyes were leaking fire.

Seriously… selling Little Phoenix? Xiaoxiao would be the first to fight him, not to mention Vermilion Bird and the two Phoenixes. Although Little Phoenix was not a mythical beast that was contracted with her, this little guy had been raised by Vermilion Bird. At this point, it was basically Shen Yanxiao’s second mythical beast.

Everyone knew that this girl was overly protective. If they were to sell Little Phoenix for real, Shen Yanxiao would chop them up like cabbages within seconds.

“You can joke more if you want.” Shen Yanxiao gave Tang Nazhi a look of contempt.

“…” Tang Nazhi was on the verge of shedding tears. He was merely trying to have presence in the conversation. These people had no sense of humor!

“I will take care of public promotion. After all, I am much more comfortable dealing with those merchants.” Qi Xia shifted the conversation back to its right course. He was convinced that those hungry merchants would not let go of this huge opportunity once they noticed the abundant mineral resources in Sun Never Sets.

“Sure. The construction of Sun Never Sets will be finished in about a month. You can go and take care of your own tasks. I will take Jia Lan with me to negotiate with the other advanced demons tomorrow.” Shen Yanxiao was eager to get into action. It was right at that moment when she heard Xiu’s familiar voice in her ears.

“Tonight, I can help you undo the fifth layer of the seal.”

Shen Yanxiao chuckled. She said slowly, “It has been several months since we last met, Group Leader Du. I am glad that you have recovered well.” Shen Yanxiao’s heart skipped a beat. She had been waiting for this moment for several months. Previously, Xiu had not been able to make any progress, but finally, the day had come!
