destiny eternal calamity

Ignoring Li Wei's strange gaze, Shang Xueyan began her current criminal act with a cold face.

Li Wei felt that his previous thinking was correct.

This woman was definitely more excited next to Aunt Ying...

What a nasty character he is!

However, he liked it very much.

The next morning, when Xiao Shuying woke up, Li Wei had already cleaned up the battlefield, leaving only a blood-stained bed sheet.

"Xiao Wei, how did I fall asleep last night..."

Xiao Shuying was somewhat puzzled.

She remembered that the last time she fell asleep, she was with Li Wei.

Could it be that brat did something to it?

"Aunt Ying, you probably fell asleep because you were too tired and felt safe by my side."

Li Wei forced himself to explain.

Aunt Yaoyue is really being a bit willful. You know, Xiao Shuying doesn't have the habit of sleeping, so she can easily sense that something is wrong.

He has already made it clear to her this time that she is not allowed to hypnotize Aunt Ying anymore.

I just don't know if the other person listened...

Seeing that Xiao Shuying was no longer bothered by it, Li Wei knew that he had gotten away with it and quickly helped her get up, change her clothes, and wash up.

In the meantime, right in front of Xiao Shuying, he put the entire bed sheet into his spatial ring.

When Xiao Shuying saw this, she simply smiled with a hint of pride and satisfaction.

She was grateful that her exceptional martial arts talent had prevented her from being forced into marriage by her family, which allowed her to meet the wonderful man before her.

……

Aside from spending his evenings with Aunt Yaoyue forming an interest group to rapidly enhance his spiritual awareness, Li Wei doesn't have anything else of importance to do.

However, he remembered that Zhao Yuqing was leaving this morning, so he went to see her off.

Xiao Mei, the white dog, also came along.

Li Wei was accompanied by a dog and a gift from the princess's residence—a short dagger.

This dagger is named Shenhai, and it was forged by Long Qingxuan, the younger brother of the current Emperor Li.

King Yue has loved craftsmanship since childhood and has no interest in power. He is now a world-renowned master blacksmith.

This dagger was a gift he gave to his niece, Long Bilin, for self-defense. Now it has been given to Zhao Yuqing, which shows how much Long Bilin values ​​Zhao Yuqing.

Zhao Yuqing knew its origin from the two characters "Qingxuan" inscribed on the dagger.

She didn't refuse, put it away, picked up her bag, and walked out of the capital city of Liguo through the west gate.

When the celestial maiden left the capital, many people came to see her off.

However, Zhao Yuqing accepted no gifts other than the dagger and left alone.

Li Wei and Xiao Mei watched Zhao Yuqing's retreating figure until it became blurry before turning back home with their dog.

"There's no need to worry about her; she has protectors."

Li Wei comforted Xiao Mei, who was looking unhappy.

He said that's what he said, but he himself was also a little worried.

After all, the other party is not only his friend, but may also be the reincarnation of Zhong Kuiying.

Upon returning to the princess's residence, Li Wei went back to Xiao Shuying's courtyard.

Because he was strong enough, the other party stopped following him, but Li Wei felt it was necessary for him to follow the other party for the next two days.

After all, this period should be the time when women are most anxious and insecure.

……

January passed in the blink of an eye.

The New Year is just around the corner.

Every household has put up red lanterns and pasted up couplets.

In the afternoon, Long Bilin took Long Xiaoxiao to the palace for a family banquet. In the evening, they returned to the princess's residence and had New Year's Eve dinner with Li Wei, Xiao Shuying, and others.

Li Wei also returned to the Viscount's mansion at noon and had a meal at Juweixuan with the servants. After that, he told them to go home and enjoy the New Year in peace.

Only a few maids who had sold themselves remained in the mansion to guard it.

He himself returned to the princess's residence.

On the way, Li Wei opened the system panel.

[Martial Arts Cultivation: Late Stage of Divine Realm]

[Recharge Points: 160360 (One tael of silver can be used to recharge 1 recharge point.)] (Total recharge points consumed: 1665340)

This month marks the fifth month since his awakening of his innate wisdom. The profit sharing from Wenhai Pavilion, Juweixuan, and Madam Xu totaled 160,000 taels of silver, more than 40,000 taels more than last month.

Firstly, the opening of Juweixuan's Xicheng branch was a great success, earning them nearly ten thousand taels of silver.

Secondly, the high heels and lingerie exclusively sold by Madam Xu were accepted by the wealthy women of Beijing and became a hot topic.

Of course, it wasn't just the ladies who liked it; the men in the family also enjoyed it.

Moreover, thanks to several GG promotions by Dali Weekly, these two novelties became popular.

However, it was a feudal society after all, and nowadays you can't see women on the street daring to wear high heels in public.

This thing was used as a bedroom entertainment item for the upper class.

That aligns with its original positioning...

Although the original motivation for its invention on Earth was to avoid filth on the streets, in modern times it has almost lost its practical value and has become a prop to highlight the beauty of women.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them sex toys.

In this world, where social customs are more conservative, this item has naturally become nothing more than a bedroom prop.

The potential market has therefore decreased significantly, but Li Wei doesn't feel it's a pity.

Anyway, when people are well-fed and clothed, they think of lustful desires. Only the upper class would consume such things, and they are allowed to be priced higher.

The viscount's mansion and the silver in his ring still have enough for his daily expenses.

Therefore, the entire profit of 160,000 taels of silver was deposited into the system by Li Wei.

"It's still too little. If only we could get 50% of the profits from 'Sky Above the Clouds'..."

Li Wei couldn't help but think of the 600,000 taels of silver he had initially gambled into the system.

Without those 600,000 taels, he might still be stuck at the Spirit Bridge or even the Qi Sea Realm.

However, to obtain the 50% profit from the clouds, the first step is to eliminate the Prime Minister's residence.

To eliminate the Prime Minister's residence, we must eliminate the Prince of Jin; to eliminate the Prince of Jin, we must eliminate the Chen family, the Changsheng Sect, and the Sun family...

It seems more realistic to just focus on completing tasks and vying for the position of crown prince.

Li Wei thought helplessly.

If given more time, he can certainly overcome these obstacles.

But the position of crown prince will be decided in less than a year.

If Long Bilin loses, the Princess's Mansion and the Wang and Xiao families behind it will likely be suppressed and besieged by the Prince of Jin's forces with the tacit approval of the imperial clan.

There isn't much time left for him to develop.
