Translator: Silavin After the incident of the Li Family trying to seize their Pill Formulas, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce turned misfortune into blessing. Not only did their reputation soar, but taking advantage of the destruction of a large part of the commercial street, Ye Liangchen along with Zhao Ritian forcefully brought the entire commercial street under the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce’s name at an extremely low price. In their words, ‘since everything had already been destroyed because of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, you need not trouble yourselves with the reconstruction…’ Regarding their almost robbery-like behavior, those Millennial Families with shops did not argue, and even refused to take the compensation offered by the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce. The tacit consent of the Millennial Families let countless people know that no one could stop the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce’s rise anymore. Perhaps, replacing the An Family would be Qin Yichen and his Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce. During this reconstruction period, Qin Yichen extensively collected various Fire Attribute and Ice Attribute medicinal herbs, refining some necessities for going to the Extreme Flame Zone. Kill Flame Demons? A thousand Flame Demons would only earn the lowest Baron title. So killing Flame Demons was not his goal. His goal was to become a Duke! Regarding that meteorite that fell carrying Heavenly Flame, he already had some clues and conjectures. If his conjectures were correct, solving the Extreme Flame Zone’s problem would not be too difficult for him. However, it required taking even greater risks. … The Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce gradually grew stronger in Central Province. However, Qin Yichen had no intention of bringing his Family from the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty to Central Province. Though Central Province was currently the Northern Region’s ‘center’, he believed that Heavenly Unicorn was more important than Central Province. Moreover, the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty had Withered Frost Grass, which meant it would inevitably become a contested territory not only for the Thousand Mist Empire, but for the entire Great Prosperity Grand Empire. Nevertheless, Lin Miaohan, Liu Qiong’er, Li Lingyan, Zhou Tianwei and the others had been brought to the Alchemy Tower in Central Province. They had all received personal guidance from Qin Yichen, and their Spiritual Energy Cultivation Techniques were all personally tailored by him. What they had received was not anything inferior to the Heaven Grade! Heaven Grade Cultivation Techniques, if revealed, would cause a huge scramble even in Twilight City. With such powerful Techniques, the girls could not help but progress faster than the others, even if they wanted to go slow. Moreover, with Qin Yichen’s guidance in Alchemy, upon entering the Alchemy Tower, they were fought over by several Deacons, aiming to take them in as Personal Disciples. Zhou Tianwei was even accepted as a Personal Disciple by the Tower Master. This treatment made Zhao Ritian green with envy. However, Zhou Tianwei’s innate ability to identify medicines made even this Alchemy fanatic convinced. This was also why the Tower Master accepted her as his Personal Disciple. The Shu Sisters also came to Central Province. Here, Shu Ruyan displayed her amazing management abilities, even making Ye Liangchen completely obedient to her. With Shu Ruyan handling internal affairs and Ye Liangchen external affairs, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce developed even more rapidly. In just half a month, it had subtly secured its position as the Thousand Mist Empire’s top Business Alliance. Shu Xin remained her old self, so willful that she would even take out her whip to lash Zhao Ritian. One day, Shu Xin stepped into Shu Ruyan’s room and saw her Sister sitting at the dressing table, holding a comb but not moving, her gaze somewhat vacant as she stared out the window, occasionally sighing, appearing rather worried. “Sister, what’s wrong? Who upset you? Tell me and I’ll go whip them!” Shu Xin’s voice awakened the daydreaming Shu Ruyan. “I’m fine.” Shu Ruyan forced a smile, but even the emotionally insensitive Shu Xin could see it was a bitter smile. “Is that bad guy bothering you again? Is he the one that’s making you so unhappy?” Shu Xin raised her eyebrows, pulling out her whip ready to find trouble with Qin Yichen. “Xin’er!” Shu Ruyan called out to stop her. In fact, she could only wish for Qin Yichen to come and bother her… Her heart was very complicated. Since the last ambiguous incident, whenever Qin Yichen saw her, he would just give a dry laugh and then run away. He was now avoiding her completely, barely saying a word to her. How could he possibly come to bother her? She herself did not understand what was wrong with her, her heart was both resistant yet inexplicably expectant. However, her words clearly had no effect on Shu Xin. Bang! Qin Yichen’s dedicated Alchemy Room door was directly kicked open. The surrounding guards immediately reacted, but seeing that petite figure, they all retreated to their original positions. “You stinking bastard! Come out here!” Shu Xin stood at the doorway holding her whip, shouting out loud. “What have I done to offend you again?” Qin Yichen rubbed his aching temples, walking out with a tired face. These days, he had been refining the needed Pills day and night, which was a huge burden on him. If it had been others, they probably would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago. “Tell me, did you… did you do something bad to my Sister again!?” Shu Xin glared at him sideways, with an expression of ‘don’t deny it, I caught you the last time’. Qin Yichen slapped his forehead, face full of black lines, quickly covering her little mouth and dragging her into the Alchemy Room. “What are you trying to do!?” As soon as Qin Yichen released her, she immediately held her whip across her body, looking at him vigilantly, with an expression of ‘if you dare touch me, I won’t be polite’. Seeing her wolf-like defensive posture, Qin Yichen could not help but roll his eyes. Still, he had to admit, though the little girl was young, the places that should be developed had developed. That graceful figure, those long legs… she was completely a beauty in the making. Combined with that still somewhat immature face, it made people even more tender-hearted when they looked at her. “Tsk, what a waste…” Every time he saw those long, fair legs, Qin Yichen could not help but sigh. Hmph! Seeing his gaze fixed on her chest and thighs, Shu Xin directly lashed out with her whip, scaring Qin Yichen into quickly dodging. Shu Xin’s cultivation was not low. With the Martial Arts Cultivation Technique and Cultivation Techniques Qin Yichen had given her, she has reached the third level Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm. With her Whip Technique, except for Spirit Realm experts, there probably were not many at the same level who could handle her. “Seriously, what do you want?” Qin Yichen had no choice but to ask. However, after Shu Xin explained Shu Ruyan’s situation, Qin Yichen’s bitter smile grew deeper. [I wanted to avoid some things, but now, it seems like I can’t avoid them in the end.] … She was a beauty, like those from a painting. Shu Ruyan just sitting there, picture perfect, and so pleasing to the eye. However, those slightly furrowed brows made one’s heart clench. Who could make such a beauty so worried… Arriving outside Shu Ruyan’s room, Qin Yichen could not help but sigh.
