Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Although the Blood Soul Mystic Sect correctly sided with the Human Emperor in the war for unification, it has always been known as an evil sect.

If we take this opportunity to reform, wouldn't we be able to become a member of a prestigious and righteous sect?

Furthermore, with the research on the blood river in the Xuanhuang Realm... the future looks promising!

Let's do it!

Upon realizing this, Immortal Lord Duchen felt somewhat annoyed, regretting that he hadn't had his elders spread the news earlier that the Xuanhuang Realm was the location of His Majesty the Human Emperor's lineage.

If the prestigious sects that are already close to the Emperor's Palace were to reach a cooperation agreement with His Majesty the Emperor first, how would the Blood Soul Mystic Sect have any chance?

But then again, after what happened with Jia Ting, will the Emperor still trust the Blood Soul Mystic Sect?

"Forget it, never mind, I haven't even tried!"

As Immortal Lord Duchen slapped the armrest and rose to prepare for his journey to the Xuanhuang Realm—

"Reporting to the Sect Master!"

Elder Huzong hurried in: "His Majesty the Human Emperor has come to visit."

"Please, please come in quickly!"

In the main hall of the Blood Soul Mystic Sect, Li Xingzhou did not come alone, but brought Jiang Yingluo, Tong Yan, and the newly identified Demon King, excluding the source of lust.

Li Xingzhou entered with only Jiang Yingluo and Tong Yan.

The rest of the demon kings can be shown around by the cultivators of the Blood Soul Mystic Sect to learn about this immortal realm.

Upon entering, Tong Yan had already taken in the layout of the hall and the pouring materials. Many of them were things she had never seen in the Xuanhuang Realm, so she immediately added them to her database for analysis.

Although Jiang Yingluo was also curious, as the president, she knew what should be the top priority at the moment.

expansion!

The group's expansion!

After hearing Li Xingzhou describe the vastness of the Immortal Realm and the scarcity of entertainment, Jiang Yingluo knew that this was an excellent opportunity!

The Star Group will spread throughout the myriad worlds like the stars and the sea!

Even if their weapon-refining skills aren't as good as the master weapon refiners in the Immortal Realm, they can still be recruited!

So when Li Xingzhou presented his plan, she wrote a proposal overnight and then followed Li Xingzhou here.

Li Xingzhou was chatting casually with Immortal Lord Duchen. Immortal Lord Duchen did not propose a cooperation plan in advance, but he already had a plan in mind.

Because of Jiang Yingluo.

When the elder from the inner sect went to the Xuanhuang Realm to buy things, he also gathered some intelligence, so he knew that Jiang Yingluo was the president of the Xingchen Group, and the president and sect leader were roughly the same thing.

Furthermore, given that Star Group's main business encompasses various aspects, Immortal Lord Duchen felt that the meaning behind the Human Emperor bringing President Jiang over was self-evident.

However, he did not speak first, but instead confirmed the relationship between the Emperor and President Jiang during the conversation.

Yes, even if they're not husband and wife, they're still close friends.

Immortal Lord Duchen couldn't help but wonder, was the reason why the Human Emperor didn't seek a Daoist partner in the Immortal Realm because he had a special affection for the women of his hometown?

However, to be fair, the women of the Xuanhuang Realm are indeed as beautiful as flowers, and few fairies in the Immortal Realm can compare to them.

The Xuanhuang Realm is indeed a place of auspicious feng shui.

After some thought, Li Xingzhou steered the conversation back on track, leaving it to Jiang Yingluo and the elders of the Blood Soul Sect to discuss.

Li Xingzhou took a sip of tea, and a smile flashed in his eyes as he looked at the Immortal Lord Duchen, who was beaming with joy from time to time.

In terms of cooperation, he has plenty of partners, but if he chooses Blood Soul Sect as his first partner, Blood Soul Sect will not only take it seriously, but will also be able to lower the profit sharing.

He knew all too well what the Blood Soul Mystic Sect wanted.

Based on this, cooperating first in the Eastern Region where the Blood Soul Mystic Sect is located will allow the Star Group to rapidly expand its own strength.

After all, it's not appropriate to haggle too much when cooperating with a sect that was once friendly.

Li Xingzhou put down his teacup and took Tong Yan out for a stroll while explaining the information he knew about the Immortal Realm.

The reason for bringing Tong Yan along was not only to protect Jiang Yingluo's safety, but also to have her act as Jiang Yingluo's secretary.

With a calculation expert like Tong Yan around, Jiang Yingluo can quickly analyze the situation and exert an effect far greater than the sum of its parts.

As for the Demon King they brought... he not only needs to increase his strength, but also needs to serve as the bodyguard and face of the future Starry Sky Merchant Guild.

While the unification achieved after becoming the Human Emperor was a unified effort, the other races outside of humanity remained autonomous, making the complete assimilation of all races no easy task.

Let's start by making Xingchen Group an indispensable part of the lives of all races, covering their basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation!

When I returned to the hall, the sun had already set.

Jiang Yingluo has also reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with the elders of the Blood Soul Mystic Sect.

After a round of pleasantries and toasts, Li Xingzhou led Jiang Yingluo and Tong Yan away from the Blood Soul Mystic Sect.

On the flying boat, Jiang Yingluo was still organizing documents when Li Xingzhou, sitting next to her, suggested with a smile, "We could also sell clothes."

"clothing?"

“Underwear, stockings, anything is fine.” Li Xingzhou winked at Jiang Yingluo: “The variety of clothing in the Immortal Realm isn’t that extensive right now.”

Jiang Yingluo pursed her red lips: "People in the immortal realm probably don't care about the appearance of their clothes, but rather their functionality, right?"

For example, it can defend itself, or it can assist in cultivation..."

“We can make it.” Li Xingzhou leaned back in his chair. “Now that the world is at peace, it’s the perfect time to satisfy the spiritual needs of cultivators. I’ll figure out the raw materials, you research the Youthful Skin, and you open up the market. Perfect!”

Jiang Yingluo looked at him thoughtfully: "You want to see ancient costume black stockings?"

Li Xingzhou waved his hand: "I just think the clothes in the immortal realm are too monotonous, and..."

“Well…” Jiang Yingluo smiled slightly, “When the new products come out, I’ll wear them for you to see first, and you can give me your opinion, how about that?”

"Then it's decided!" Li Xingzhou readily agreed.

Jiang Yingluo glared at him. What a naughty little thing! He's clearly a lecher, but he makes it sound so noble.

but……

Thinking of the efforts Li Xingzhou had made to return home, Jiang Yingluo's eyes softened again.

After all these years of hard work, what's wrong with enjoying yourself?

It should be.

"Okay~" Jiang Yingluo's voice was gentle, and the sweetness unique to her after becoming a succubus made Li Xingzhou hug her tightly.

"Stop, stop fooling around!"

Jiang Yingluo patted the back of his hand: "Let me finish writing the proposal first..."

"I'll just hug you." Li Xingzhou wrapped his arms around Jiang Yingluo's plump waist: "I definitely won't do anything else."

"Hmph~" Jiang Yingluo snorted lightly and then asked, "Are women in the Immortal Realm conservative in character?"

“It depends on the person,” Li Xingzhou replied. “If you’re advertising, you can’t hire the demoness from the Hehuan Sect; it’s easy to backfire.”

"The Joyous Union Sect?" Jiang Yingluo blinked. "Is there really a Joyous Union Sect that can grow so powerful? Aren't you afraid of them looting and pillaging people?"

“The larger Hehuan Sect is worried about being wiped out, and it’s also easier to control if it grows bigger. If a smaller Hehuan Sect has this problem, they will be implicated.”

Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "In the end, if there are people above you who can keep things in check, this situation is less likely to occur. If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will also be crooked."

"You pressed it?"

"I'm a model student who has received nine years of compulsory education!"

Jiang Yingluo couldn't help but smile, and then asked, "So, who should we get as a spokesperson? Or should we just put on a fashion show?"

Li Xingzhou thought for a moment and said, "There's no rush. We can let the people from the Xuanhuang Realm come out first."

"Ah."

Jiang Yingluo nodded, then turned her gaze back to the proposal and asked, "Do you think I should attend your wedding?"

Li Xingzhou cleared his throat: "She... isn't an incompetent wife."

Jiang Yingluo rolled her eyes at him. She already knew about the affair between this scoundrel and Jiang Wanzhao from her daughter, Jiang Xuetang.

Well, when it comes to a pervert like Jiang Wanzhao, it's best to stick to the principle of avoiding her.

I've never heard of a woman like Jiang Wanzhao who schemes to manipulate family ties.

Where are you planning to hold this event?

"The Celestial Realm, huh?"

“Okay.” Jiang Yingluo nodded. “Then I’ll pick out a venue while I’m at it.”

Li Xingzhou couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yingluo. Aunt Luo's tolerance was smoother than he had imagined. Could it be that her thinking had changed to some extent after she 'changed' to a succubus?

Thinking it over, he said softly, "No need for that. I already have a plan for the venue."

“Then I’ll choose mine.” Jiang Yingluo pressed her cheek against his side: “Although Xuetang is my daughter, I’ve never experienced what it’s like to get married.”

“Okay.” Li Xingzhou readily agreed. For him, there was basically nothing he couldn’t do, so fulfilling Aunt Luo’s wishes within his capabilities was no problem.

This is probably the cheapest way to coax someone.

"Um……"

Jiang Yingluo closed her eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips. After a moment, she suddenly spoke, "Should we let Xue Tang participate as well?"

"This……"

"Are you going to put on airs now?" Jiang Yingluo teased, pinching Li Xingzhou's earlobe. "Your Majesty, who is naked and upright?"

Li Xingzhou coughed lightly: "Mind your image, mind your image."

He held Jiang Yingluo's slender hand, gazed into the distance, and teased, "As for family traditions, that's another matter."

"You're such a hypocrite~" Jiang Yingluo snuggled into his arms, looking at the full moon in the night sky: "The moon is so bright tonight."

"Yes."

"I want to eat mooncakes!"

Tong Yan raised his hand, his eyes filled with longing for mooncakes.

Li Xingzhou and Jiang Yingluo exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.
