Restaurants connect to everything? It's reasonable for me to make 1 billion, right?

Chapter 492 Strange Events in the Cultivation World

The two of them made quite a commotion.

However, since Shengji was located in the middle of nowhere, not many people noticed it.

After the two finished exercising, Lin Duo picked some bright and pretty little flowers.

He didn't say it was for Sheng Jiu; he just planned to put it in a vase on the second floor when he got back.

He thought that seeing more of these fresh and bright things might improve his mood for the day.

Sheng Jiu:......

She was at a loss for words regarding Lin Duo's seemingly ingenious but actually clumsy way of pursuing her.

Perhaps it was because they had witnessed Ye Linchuan's passionate and mad pursuit.

Looking at Lin Duo's slow and gentle pursuit, Sheng Jiu still found it somewhat novel.

It's a completely new experience, one I've never felt before.

He seems like a good candidate?

My aunt's words flashed through my mind again and again.

She coaxed her into agreeing that she would have the final say in family matters, and that the child would take her surname...

Sheng Jiu quickly shook her head, no longer thinking about it.

She is going to visit Uncle Liang today.

So, after exercising, she took Lin Duo back home, prepared to pack up, and then called her mother to ask about the situation.

When Sheng Jiu returned to the store entrance, he noticed that not far from their store, someone seemed to be preparing to start construction on something.

And, more than one place.

Because Sheng Jiu fenced off a large area in front of Shengji Restaurant, she was implicitly telling others that this was her territory.

Therefore, no one has undertaken any major construction projects around Shengji.

But it appears when you are at a greater distance.

They even politely made way for each other in the middle of the road, ensuring that the road was wide enough before they started digging the foundation.

Sheng Jiu:?
A question mark slowly floated up above her head.

Just then, Qing Wanxi was still refining pills, so she quietly asked the other party if they knew about these things.

Qing Wanxi actually knew. When Sheng Jiu asked, she said in a low voice, "Shengji's business is good, so it can definitely drive the development of other things. At the very least, it can develop some purchasing agents. So someone must have the idea to build some houses and set up shops nearby."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiu nodded slightly, but then showed a hint of doubt.

Shengji has actually been here for a while, but is it only now that they've thought of building a shop?
Seemingly noticing Sheng Jiu's confusion, Qing Wanxi quickly explained, "Although this area is outside the city, when the area was divided, it was assigned to the corresponding city lord. Whatever they want to build or do in these areas, they need the city lord's approval and the corresponding regulations. This is why it was approved."

As for Shengji?

Qing Wanxi guessed that the City Lord's Mansion must have also done some investigation early on.

However, they did not act rashly, which clearly indicated their intention to let things go unchecked.

One reason is that Sheng Jiu's background is a mystery, and they dare not offend people easily.

What if he's some reclusive tycoon?
Another reason is that those who are on good terms with Shengji are all big shots, so the City Lord's Mansion turns a blind eye and pretends not to know.

Moreover, it was outside the city, so the management was relatively less strict.

So the city lord's mansion simply let it go.

What else can we do?
Should we just confront them head-on?
They are neither crazy nor stupid.

And Shengji's food is really good.

It is also very friendly to cultivators with low spiritual roots.

So, Guan Shengji?
Only a madman would do something like this!

After listening to Qing Wanxi's explanation, Sheng Jiu nodded gently.

The presence of shops nearby is actually beneficial for Sheng Kee. After all, everyone can develop together.

Moreover, security issues seem to be guaranteed?
Because Qing Wanxi said that the City Lord's Mansion has recently been planning to manage the security of the areas outside the city.

Although Sheng Jiu doesn't entirely rely on these things.

But if there's a guarantee of security, who wouldn't want that?

Sheng Jiu looked at the buildings for a while, and then took Lin Duo back.

Lin Duo brought back fresh flowers and replaced yesterday's.

Those old flowers aren't wasted either; after being dried in the cultivation world, they can be used as firewood.

The main focus is on being thrifty and managing a household well.

Sheng Jiu:......

There's no need to go that far.

However, the system said that those flowers were imbued with a little spiritual energy, and would release a faint fragrance when burned.

Sheng Jiu quite liked the light and elegant scent.

So, keeping it for firewood doesn't seem so bad?
She took Lin to the Starry Sky Hotel for a quick wash, then they changed clothes, had breakfast, and then she called her mother.

Cen Qing was a little nervous when she received Sheng Jiu's call.

the reason is simple.

The idea of ​​introducing someone to me on New Year's Day upset my aunt.

So, after Sheng Jiu returned to the city, her aunt called Cen Qing the very next day.

Of course, the aunt was quite friendly and polite to Sheng Jiu's mother.

However, Cen Qing still remembered her aunt's fighting prowess, even though she had remarried many years ago.

Especially after her relationship and life with Lao Liang stabilized, Cen Qing gradually resumed contact with the Sheng family and had more interactions with her aunt.

Cen Qing was genuinely afraid of her former sister-in-law, who was not only stubborn but also ruthless.

But no matter how scared I am, I still have to answer the phone.

The meaning behind Aunt's phone call was quite simple: Sheng Jiu is grown up, and she knows what she's doing when it comes to relationships. We adults should just offer our advice, and not interfere further. Especially those unsuitable suitors introduced by people with ill intentions—we shouldn't try to get them in front of Sheng Jiu.

These words made Cen Qing extremely embarrassed.

However, she really couldn't refute it.

Over the years, Cen Qing has indeed neglected Sheng Jiu more and cared for her less.

Although she has been trying to repair it in recent years.

However, Sheng Jiu clearly no longer needs it.

Cen Qing was also heartbroken, but because she felt guilty, she didn't want to confide in Sheng Jiu too much.

Now, after hearing what her former sister-in-law said, Cen Qing could only hurriedly agree, indicating that she would not interfere with her child's relationship.

Cen Qing assumed that Sheng Jiu had called because she had heard something from someone.

She even reflected on what she had done recently.

But no?

Old Liang is sick and has two children to take care of, which has exhausted all her energy.

She really didn't do anything reckless!
Introducing someone to a partner? That's out of the question!

Cen Qing answered the phone stiffly, and as she listened to Sheng Jiu's polite greeting, a wave of sadness welled up in her heart.

Soon, she heard Sheng Jiu ask about Lao Liang's illness.

Knowing that Sheng Jiu hadn't asked her based on hearsay, Cen Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "She's almost fully recovered and in good spirits. If you're busy at the shop, you don't need to come over."
