Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Late at night.

Unlike the "battle-stricken" courtyard of Qin Ruxue, Ting Liuxuan's study was quiet.

The flickering candlelight cast a graceful silhouette onto the wall.

Liu Yiyi changed out of her plain dress and into a more comfortable silk nightgown.

Her long, black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, adding to her languid and alluring charm.

She paid no attention to the escalating rumors and gossip outside.

To her, those people's imaginations were both naive and laughable.

Her fingertips gently caressed an exquisite porcelain jar on the desk. Inside the jar was snowflake salt, a product powerful enough to overturn the entire commercial landscape of the Northern Territory.

But her gaze fell on something else.

It was a piece of Xuan paper that had been stepped on and was slightly wrinkled. On it were several crooked patterns that she jokingly called "pancakes" and "talismans".

Now, look at this picture again.

Liu Yiyi's eyes were filled with amazement and fascination.

So, that's called a "beaker".

So, that's called a "funnel".

It turns out that those seemingly simple steps actually contain the power to turn lead into gold.

She carefully folded the "scribbled" paper back up.

In her opinion, this item was ten thousand times more precious than that jar of salt that could bring in a fortune.

Because of the salt, she was confident she could replicate it.

The man who created this miracle was one of a kind.

After doing all this, Liu Yiyi took a deep breath and spread out a huge sheet of Xuan paper.

She picked up her pen and dipped it in ink.

In that instant, all her languor and allure vanished without a trace.

Her eyes were strikingly bright.

In his mind, the business plan for "refined salt" was being developed and perfected at an alarming pace.

Production, finding absolute confidants, establishing workshops, core technology, known only to Xiao Shi and myself, and strictly guarded.

Costs: coarse salt, charcoal, fine sand, labor, secrecy...

Who are the customers? High-ranking officials and nobles, or ordinary people?

No, I want them all!

Create a sense of scarcity, make it expensive but unavailable, and build a reputation...

Pricing?

channel?

Risks: government officials, competitors, the underworld...

Each idea was transformed into clear words under her pen.

A grand blueprint is slowly taking shape in this study late at night...

As she finished writing, Liu Yiyi paused.

She took another piece of paper, pondered for a moment, and wrote a few words heavily on it.

The Chen family.

Black Tiger Gang.

This is the largest salt merchant in Blackwind City, and also one of the four major gangs in Blackwind City.

They will be the first enemy to be crushed head-on in this plan.

Liu Yiyi looked at those two words and her expression became serious.

monopoly?

With snowflake salt, there's nothing to fear.

But to deal with those unreasonable evil forces, perhaps only he can help...

Liu Yiyi's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Qin Ruxue's courtyard.

I wonder how that young man is doing now.

Was he... completely devoured by that tigress?

……

Meanwhile, in Qin Ruxue's room.

After a half-night "fierce battle," the fighting finally came to an end.

The room was a complete mess.

Several pieces of clothing that had been casually taken off were scattered haphazardly in various places.

The air was filled with a peculiar smell, a mixture of sweat and fragrance.

Lin Mo, the instigator, was lying sprawled on the bed, feeling every muscle in his body groaning in bliss.

He felt he wasn't "apologizing".

Instead, they went to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

After going through countless hardships, they finally subdued this tigress.

I'm exhausted, really exhausted.

That was awesome, absolutely awesome!

He turned his head and looked at Qin Ruxue, who was already fast asleep beside him.

The tigress who was baring her teeth and shouting for battle just moments ago has now turned into a docile kitten.

Qin Ruxue was curled up on her side in Lin Mo's arms, fast asleep.

A lingering, alluring blush remained on her exquisitely beautiful face.

Her long eyelashes, like two small brushes, trembled gently with her even breathing.

A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealed an undisguised sense of satisfaction.

With such a charming and innocent appearance, she has lost all trace of the might of a female warrior.

Lin Mo found it amusing; this girl said no, but her body was more honest than anyone else's.

With a thought, he quietly opened Qin Ruxue's interface.

The originally static portrait seemed to transform into a lifelike, dynamic scroll painting:

A peerless Valkyrie, clad in black and red battle armor, stood proudly surrounded by a swarm of fiery phoenixes, captivating all who beheld her.

[Beauty]: Qin Ruxue

Status: Included

[Beauty Rating]: 100/100 (Peerless Beauty)

Lin Mo grinned from ear to ear as he looked at the two numbers that were both at their maximum of 100.

It became.

This time, we've completely won them over.

Just then, the phoenix phantom let out a clear and melodious cry, spitting out two golden gift packages from its mouth.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have maxed out Qin Ruxue's [Intimacy Level] and received a [Bond Gift Pack]!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have maxed out Qin Ruxue's [Peerless Beauty Value] and received a [Peerless Beauty Gift Pack]!]

[Enable?]

coming!

Good things come in pairs!

A glint of light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes, and he chose "Open" without hesitation.

A flash of golden light, and the gift pack was opened.

[Ding! The Bond Gift Pack has been successfully opened! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the item - Puppet Doll x1!]

【Puppet Doll】: A one-time consumable item. Can be bound to any beauty.

Once bound, any physical contact with the doll (such as stroking, scratching, flicking the forehead, etc.) will be synchronously fed back to the bound target with 100% real sensory feedback and no delay. The effect lasts for one hour.

Lin Mo's eyes widened instantly.

Holy crap?!

Puppet dolls? You can play with them like that?

Physical contact... 100% real sensory experience... synchronized feedback?!

Lin Mo's brain froze for a fraction of a second, and then a whole host of crazy ideas instantly flooded his head!

This thing is simply an essential gadget for home, travel, and pranking your sisters-in-law!

Imagine that Third Sister-in-law Liu Yiyi is in the study, carefully looking at the account books, with an expression that is so aloof and mature.

She hid in a corner, gently tickling the sole of the doll that was bound to her...

That scene, wow!

Or perhaps, Second Madam Qin Ruxue is practicing her sword in the courtyard, looking heroic and exuding a murderous aura.

I secretly gave the doll's bottom a "smack"...

hiss--!

Lin Mo gasped, feeling as if he had opened the door to a new world.

This isn't some kind of bond gift pack; it's clearly a fun gift pack for seasoned players!

System, you understand me so well! Love you, muah!

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction and turned his gaze to the second gift package.

"Continue! Open the stunning gift pack!"

[Ding! The Exquisite Gift Pack has been successfully opened! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Talisman - Words Come True Talisman x1!]

[Words Become Law]: A one-time consumable item. After use, the host's words will have a strong psychological suggestive effect on the target for a certain period of time, causing the target to subconsciously believe and execute the host's words.

"Words become law?"

A glint of light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.

This thing is even more unbeatable!

With this "words become law" talisman, wouldn't it be even easier to fool people in the future?

Lin Mo could even imagine that if Qin Ruxue drew her sword to kill him again, the next time...

He simply crushed the talisman paper with his hand and casually said:

"My lady, tonight we shall have a proper discussion of the mysteries of martial arts. How about you wear that dancer's outfit?"

Then Qin Ruxue would blush and obediently change into her dancer's costume...

Hehehe... Just thinking about it makes me so excited!

However, at that moment...

Qin Ruxue, who was standing to the side, suddenly let out a soft groan.
