After leaving Fang Fei's room, Xia Liu lingered at the doorways of Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang Xiaoman. He wondered whether or not to enter, both women had drunk some alcohol, and if something were to happen... If it had been before, he definitely would not have turned away somberly, but his thoughts had changed now. The lamb laid before him, why not eat if there's an opportunity to eat! Any trouble that comes up would be a problem for another day. Even if that day really came, so what? Strength decides everything. Eventually, Xia Liu still moved toward the next room door, Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang Xiaoman had both been drinking, even if he really wanted to take them, it should be when they were most sober so as to preserve the most precious memories. Moreover, the two sisters were now in the room, he definitely couldn't be too reckless. Although he had just made love with Fang Fei, the mere fantasies of Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang Xiaoman made Xia Liu unconsciously ashamed. After arriving at Zhang Qing's room, more intense events continued to unfold. The next day, it wasn't until before dawn that Xia Liu left Zhang Qing's room, his legs felt somewhat weak. From the time he entered the room till now, three times! Ever since Zhang Qing found out that pressing on Xia Liu's wrist could revive his spirits, things got out of control. Fortunately, Xia Liu had the Five Elements Mantra in his body, and as the Spiritual Energy circulated through his system for a complete cycle, his strength gradually recovered. He ordered a table full of breakfast in the lobby, and at just after seven o'clock, he had the waitress call the ladies' room phones. The women only came down around eight o'clock, except for Gu Fangxia who had a pair of dark circles under her eyes. The other ladies all had a flush of rosiness on their faces, especially Zhang Qing and Fang Fei. They gave off the impression that the morning glow had not yet fully dissipated. Gu Fangxia of course teased the two, then both ladies sneaked a glance at Xia Liu and joined Gu Fangxia in a lively chat. On the way back, Fang Fei urged Xia Liu to speed up the process to transfer the hotel's ownership within three days. Xia Liu asked the reason, but Fang Fei did not give a clear response, leaving him unsure why she was in such a hurry to leave. Xia Liu drove Gu Fangxia, Zhang Qing, along with Zhang Xiaoxue and Xiaoman, back to Osmanthus Village. Once in the village, Xia Liu and Gu Fangxia discussed the issue of the new road. There was now a road, but it still needed further improvements. "My suggestion is a secondary road." "Sister Gu, how long will it take to build this secondary road?" Xia Liu was very interested in Gu Fangxia's proposal. Building roads was for the long term. A mere cement road definitely wouldn't be sturdy enough. If they built it to the secondary road standards, that would be impressive. "This will definitely take a bit more time than a regular tar road, but leave it to my team, and we can have it done in ten days!" Gu Fangxia said confidently. Now, the newly constructed road to the external secondary road was merely three kilometers away, maybe even less, so ten days would be more than enough. "I can accept that. When work begins, we'll set up streetlights along the road according to the standards." "That's a possibility, but let me ask timidly, are we really going through with this?" Gu Fangxia couldn't understand why, as Osmanthus Village didn't even have several decent houses. Yet here they were, contemplating a secondary road, streetlights, and all, undertaking such a huge project—what for? "Of course, as the future richest village globally, if we fudge it now, we'll have to do a lot of fixing later." ... "Alright, you win," Gu Fangxia didn't know how to respond, but upon reflection, perhaps Osmanthus Village might actually become the wealthiest village as Xia Liu had described. "Sister Gu, calculate how much money is needed, I'll transfer it to you now." "Uh, no need for now, I haven't even spent the five million you gave me last time." "Don't worry, little brother, I've got plenty of money. Here, I'll transfer ten million to you, just let me know when you run out." Xia Liu was straightforward, took up his phone, opened the mobile bank app, and transferred ten million into Gu Fangxia's account. Xia Liu's generosity caught Gu Fangxia off guard. After she came to her senses, she teased him, "Boss Xia, don't you have any reservations? What if I run away with the money?" "Hehe, if you dare to run, when I catch up to you, I'll definitely torture you mercilessly." Xia Liu winked and gave a mischievous smile. Gu Fangxia shivered, goosebumps all over, she stuck her tongue out at Xia Liu and then ran out the door. After settling the matter, Xia Liu asked Zhang Xiaoxue for her ID card. As for what the matter was, he didn't specify, but it was certainly something good. Zhang Xiaoxue naturally would not refuse. She was willing to entrust her body and life to Xia Liu, so what was an ID card in comparison? After obtaining the ID card, he noticed it was already nearly afternoon. Xia Liu wasn't in a hurry to find Fang Fei; she had said three days, after all. After getting ready, Xia Liu picked up his basket and headed towards the mountains. It had been several days since he last searched for the herbs needed to make Beauty Mud. He hoped today would bring good luck. Indeed, Xia Liu's recent luck was really good. He was home before dark, his basket filled with numerous herbs. Xia Liu knew well the quantity in his basket. If none of the processes failed, the amount of Beauty Mud produced would definitely be no less than a thousand boxes. Another surplus of over ten million in revenue. After dinner, Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang Xiaoman helped Xia Liu make the Beauty Mud. After making the Beauty Mud, Xia Liu called Liu Lanxin. The results for the bidding were announced ten days ago. Unsurprisingly, Tianluo Pharmaceutical won, largely thanks to Mo Wanqing's endorsement. Even though Tianluo Pharmaceutical had won, Binlai City was still bustling. Because the availability of Beauty Mud was so limited, many people took up long-term residence in hotels near Tianluo Pharmacy. Just so they could buy the Beauty Mud at the earliest opportunity. Even a month later, the demand for Beauty Mud remained explosively high. Each time he heard in the news about crowds in Binlai City blocking places just to buy Beauty Mud, Xia Liu sighed. Find your next read at empire If only there were more of the essential herbs for making Beauty Mud, things might not be so awkward now. But as good as the idea was, sadly, fate wasn't helping. "Xia Liu, I'm really happy at home now, and it's all because of you. Do you have time tomorrow? I'd like to visit your place," Liu Lanxin genuinely wanted to thank Xia Liu. In the past, she had set up many projects in Binlai City, and her family members had almost started to despise her. But now, Xia Liu had changed her family's attitude towards her. If she didn't properly thank him, she'd feel really bad. "To my place?" Xia Liu mumbled and then felt a headache coming on. Having two sisters at home was nearly too much already; no, absolutely not. "I don't have time to host guests for now. How about I come visit you in Binlai City when I'm free?" "That works too, but you better come soon. If you don't show up before the school term starts, I might just head to Osmanthus Village," she replied. "Alright, I'll definitely be there before the school term starts." After hanging up the phone, Xia Liu felt somewhat emotional. September, the start of the school term, was just around the corner...
