Chapter 104

The fairy beasts that Huang Dingzhi had previously asked Ji Mingqing to take care of were arranged by Ji Mingqing in the indoor zoo on the 61st floor. These little fairy beasts that Huang Dingzhi gave him happened to be all cute and very suitable for home breeding.

However, Ji Mingqing still used the formation to create an environment suitable for their survival, so now the sixty-first floor is a huge ecological paradise. Ji Mingqing completely simulated an environment suitable for their survival, with mountains, water and rivers. As long as there are immortal beasts living here, they will not be unhappy.

"Okay, okay. I'll go in and book a room first, then I can go look around on my own. You don't have to bother entertaining me."

Huang Dingzhi waved his hand and walked into the inn. Ji Mingqing wanted to follow him, but was called back by the person behind him.

"Boss Ji, good luck with your business!" Ji Mingqing turned around and found that the person who came was the owner of Yulong Villa whom he had met at the market before. When he saw the man's face, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

The lotus root slices from Yulong Villa are really crispy. After a big meal of fish and meat, you need a box of lotus root slices to season it. It just so happens that the lotus root slices and lotus pods from Yulong Villa are fresh and elegant, and they were a bright spot in the stall at that time.

Therefore, the owner of Yulong Villa was also one of the people Ji Mingqing wanted to cooperate with. He did not expect that a person of such status would come to support him on time.

"Master Zhou, welcome, welcome. Your presence truly brightens up my humble Fengxi Garden." Ji Mingqing said with emotion.

"No, no, I have nothing to do every day in Yulong Villa. I also want to thank you for giving me a chance to go out and have fun." After saying this, the owner of the villa Zhou bowed to Ji Mingqing in a serious manner, which made Ji Mingqing flattered.

"I've reserved a month for this time, and I'll need Boss Ji's care during this period." After Master Zhou finished speaking, Ji Mingqing quickly assured him, "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied within this month."

After making arrangements with Master Zhou, Ji Mingqing happily welcomed several waves of high-ranking and powerful customers, which gradually made Ji Mingqing feel at ease.

Ji Lin finally found an opportunity to talk to Ji Mingqing. She quickly pulled Ji Mingqing aside and asked, "What's wrong with your guests? Why are they so generous?"

Ji Lin had been helping Ji Mingqing collect money at the front desk. Ji Mingqing asked Ji Lin to tell him what had happened. After listening to Ji Lin's description, Ji Mingqing let Ji Lin rest assured.

"Don't worry. The people in the immortal world have lived for thousands of years. All those who come here are rich. Those few immortal stones are just like a few cents in our pockets to them. Mom, you have to get used to the generosity of these immortals."

"But giving a bag of immortal stones as a deposit is a bit too generous." Ji Lin took out the storage bag Huang Dingzhi had given him and showed it to Ji Mingqing. "There are 2,000 immortal stones in it, which is enough for him to live here for several years."

After listening to Ji Lin's words, Ji Ming suddenly thought, "Mom, you reminded me, don't forget to arrange some high-end services for them that can't be found elsewhere, and deduct them from the money they gave. Other than that..."

Ji Mingqing slapped his forehead and said, "I'm going to talk to Aze. Mom, you go back first."

Ji Mingqing turned around and left, and found Bai Cangze who was observing all the immortals on the field, fearing that someone would cause trouble.

"Aze!" Ji Mingqing trotted to Bai Cangze, paused and wanted to talk to Bai Cangze, but was hugged by Bai Cangze and sat on Bai Cangze's lap.

"Let me go!" Ji Mingqing quickly pushed Bai Cangze's hand away and looked around in disbelief. Bai Cangze grabbed his hand, moved closer, and whispered in Ji Mingqing's ear, "It's okay, they can't see it." He then tightened his arm around Ji Mingqing's waist and said, "What do you want from me?"

Seeing that his struggle was futile, Ji Mingqing stopped forcing himself. He just stood there, looking back at Bai Cangze, and said seriously, "I want to find Shaoyang to build the commercial street I mentioned earlier as soon as possible."

Ji Mingqing didn't expect that so many people would come to support him on the first day of opening. He originally planned to take it slow and wait until the commercial street was built before inviting other stall owners who had left their contact information in front of Kunze Palace and inviting them to move in.

He didn't expect that these immortals would give him so much face that they came to support him on the first day of opening.

"Okay, but before that, you can show them the array image." Bai Cangze rested his chin on Ji Mingqing's shoulder and rubbed it.

Ji Mingqing felt an itch on his neck and couldn't help but blurt out, "Why is it like a kitten?"

Bai Cangze chuckled, "Am I just a kitten in your eyes?"

Ji Mingqing couldn't stand it any longer. He moved Bai Cangze's head and kissed him hard on the lips. "Okay, I'm going to find Shaoyang now. See you tonight."

Bai Cangze made a "tsk" sound, and after Ji Mingqing stood up, he turned back into Xiaowan and stood on Ji Mingqing's shoulder as usual.

He gently nuzzled Ji Mingqing's neck and said, "I won't delay your work. Let's go together."

Ji Mingqing felt that the nature of this rubbing suddenly changed. He touched his head and said, trying to hide his guilt, "Don't move. It's not good for others to see you."

Bai Cangze obediently hooked his tail around Ji Mingqing's neck. Although Bai Cangze did the same thing before, Bai Cangze would occasionally use the tip of his tail to tease Ji Mingqing behind his ears. Walking on the road like this, Ji Mingqing, who was still thinking about how to plan the business district, couldn't concentrate.

"Don't mess around!" Ji Mingqing tilted his head and threatened Bai Cangze with his most ferocious expression, "If you move again, I won't let you stand on my shoulders tomorrow."

Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing innocently, but still put his tail away. Then he stretched his neck and pressed it closer to Ji Mingqing, "Okay."

Ji Mingqing had no temper at all towards Bai Cangze. He could only speed up to find Shao Yang and tell him his plan.

"It's probably at Yuantaopo, in the direction of the inn from the children's playground and the restaurant, with some two-story shops along the way." Ji Mingqing drew a sketch to help Shaoyang explain, but after listening to Ji Mingqing's words, Shaoyang slammed the table and said excitedly.

"I have long wanted to make use of the vacant land near you. Your area has always been disorganized, with pieces scattered here and there. It is really too messy." After Shao Yang finished speaking, he took the paper from Ji Mingqing and scribbled a few strokes on it. After seeing it, Ji Mingqing admired Shao Yang.

"Your idea is indeed much more reasonable." Ji Mingqing looked at the picture drawn by Shao Yang, held it in front of Bai Cangze and praised.

"Shaoyang's map perfectly places the inn at the end of various places, and from there, two roads are drawn: one leading directly to Yuantao Slope and the other to the restaurant. They also pass by the children's playground on the way. Let's do that."

Bai Cangze took a look and nodded approvingly, "That's certainly possible. However, after deciding on the location, we also need to determine the specifications of the shop. Have you thought about it?"

Ji Mingqing nodded and said, "Of course I've thought about it. I plan to build two-story buildings along the way. Each building will have a backyard for the store manager and staff to rest. Then here." Ji Mingqing stretched out his hand and pointed at the intersection of the two points. "Here I want to build a large shopping mall."

"About ten or twenty floors would be enough, but it has to be spacious inside, just like when we go to a big mall, with each store having a small stall." Ji Mingqing turned his head and looked at Bai Cangze, "What do you think of that?"

Bai Cangze nodded. "It's a bit like Yuexian Pavilion, but all the goods in the Moon Phase are their own. You are gathering all the goods of other people together. But how will you convince them to join?"

Ji Mingqing thought without hesitation, "This is very simple. We can use Wu Song peaches as gifts. If Wu Song peaches are not enough, we can add some things we grow ourselves. As long as they move in, there will be gift boxes of different sizes."

"As long as we agree with them, they don't have to worry too much. We will even be responsible for the delivery of the goods. If they are worried, they can send someone to watch over the shop. If they want to hand it over directly to us, we can also directly deliver the quarterly bills to them."

"Quarterly accounts? That's going to be a bit troublesome."

"There's no other way. I can let my mother take on a few apprentices, so that she can satisfy her desire to be a teacher." Ji Mingqing arranged everything for Ji Lin casually.

"This way, we won't charge any fees for the first ten years. After that, the annual fee will be based on the area of ​​the booth." Ji Mingqing made an estimate. "If everything goes well, based on today's customer flow, we'll be able to make a full profit in the first year."

"How to make a profit?" Shaoyang had no idea.

"Of course, we need to build our reputation, and then we'll reserve a few of the best shops for our family members. Then, instead of selling these things to Zhao Yu, we can let Zhao Yu store the goods from Kunze Palace with me." Ji Mingqing tapped the table with his finger. "I'll plant some more immortal plants in the next few days, and then have Yang Yubei make some more snacks that are easy to store, as well as those small goods for the children's park."

Ji Mingqing became more and more excited as he spoke. "If you think about it this way, there are quite a few shops that our family can open. I think as long as we can open them smoothly, our family can make money immediately."

Shao Yang also thought this plan was feasible, but he suggested: "Building a shopping mall with only a dozen floors is a bit too short. We can build more than a hundred floors like an inn."

Ji Mingqing quickly shook his head and refused, "No, no, there aren't many people in the entire fairy world, and there aren't many fairies with their own unique products. Even fewer are willing to settle in Fengxi Garden. If the remaining space is empty, wouldn't it be even more desolate?"

Shaoyang's opinion made sense, and he felt quite regretful. Ji Mingqing consoled him, saying, "We already have an inn. Adding another building would overshadow the inn and distract the guests, which wouldn't be good either."

Shao Yang reluctantly accepted this, but he still said unwillingly, "Then, Boss Ji, if you want to build a taller building in the future, please call me."

Ji Mingqing smiled and said, "Of course."

Shaoyang then left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he and Ji Mingqing agreed to simulate all the construction images using the array disk tomorrow so that they could start work as soon as possible.

After Shao Yang left, Ji Mingqing looked at Bai Cangze with some emotion, "Your subordinates are indeed talented."

Although Shaoyang seems unreliable, his work spirit is truly commendable. Even in such a lazy fairy world, he can actually achieve 996, which really impressed Ji Mingqing.

"Actually, I'm not in a hurry..."

"He likes it himself, so don't worry about him." Bai Cangze once again hooked the tip of his tail around Ji Mingqing's neck and rubbed it gently. "He knows I will reward him for this, so he's always happy to do it."

Ji Mingqing turned around and pinched Bai Cangze's furry face with a smile, "You act like a hateful capitalist now. Tell me, how much benefit did you give them behind my back to get them to voluntarily work overtime?"

Bai Cangze stretched out his claws and gently pressed the back of Ji Mingqing's hand. "Not much, just some high-level immortal artifacts and immortal pills."

"Is it like this before? You would reward them as long as they were willing to come to Fengxi Garden."

Bai Cangze nodded, "This is all very normal, you don't have to..."

Ji Mingqing interrupted Bai Cangze, "Change back to human form."

Bai Cangze obediently changed back. The moment he turned back into human form, Ji Mingqing took the initiative to hug Bai Cangze's neck. Before Bai Cangze could react, Ji Mingqing threw himself into his arms.

"So my mother was right. Without you, my journey would have been much more difficult."

"But even without me, you will succeed, just at a slower pace." Bai Cangze comforted Ji Mingqing while rubbing his head.

"If it weren't for you, Yin Fuzhang wouldn't be the only one bullying me." Ji Mingqing left Bai Cangze's embrace. "If he does this again next time, I will definitely not let him go."

"Of course. If he didn't have the Danyang Order, I would have already..."

Ji Mingqing waited for Bai Cangze to continue, but Bai Cangze stopped talking and looked very secretive.

"Anyway, if Yin Fuzhang comes to mess with you again next time, he won't be so lucky as to get away with it."

Ji Mingqing felt a little regretful that Bai Cangze shut up in time. Just when he wanted to leave, Bai Cangze pulled him back.

"I've given my subordinates so many rewards for you, shouldn't you also give me some compensation?"

Ji Mingqing looked at Bai Cangze suspiciously, and then after seeing Bai Cangze's eyes looking around, he suddenly realized something.

He laughed, then stood on tiptoe and kissed Bai Cangze's cheek hard, then stared at the corner of Bai Cangze's mouth that was reluctant to retract, and said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go. Maybe some new people who we can collaborate with will show up today. We need to quickly establish good relationships with them."

Bai Cangze, who received a kiss from Ji Mingqing, let Ji Mingqing leave contentedly. However, at this time he felt the call of the Hongmeng Treasure Tree again.

Bai Cangze: "..."

He said that he had forgotten something in the past two days. Ji Mingqing wanted to hang the tree core around his neck before, but the angry Bai Cangze took it back. The Hongmeng Treasure Tree must have not sensed Ji Mingqing's breath in the past two days, and now it is anxious.

Bai Cangze looked at the tree core in his hand, and a thought came to him. The outside of the tree core was wrapped with a piece of white jade, with only a little bit of bright green showing in the middle. Then he took out a long silver-white metallic rope from his storage bag and inlaid it on the white jade.

Anyway, I have already given Ji Mingqing a necklace, so it wouldn’t be too strange to give him a bracelet.

At night, Ji Mingqing was so tired that his whole body ached. He hadn't felt this way for a long time. Ji Mingqing felt that interpersonal communication was hundreds or thousands of times more tiring than doing farm work.

Looking at Bai Cangze who was waiting at the door, Ji Mingqing didn't care whether he would be seen by others. He rushed forward and threw himself into Bai Cangze's arms.

"I'm so tired, really. Why is doing business so tiring?"

Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing in his arms and said with some distress: "Do you need my help? What I say still carries some weight."

Ji Mingqing immediately stood up from Bai Cangze's arms and loudly refused, "No! You must not do such a thing! Otherwise, both of our reputations will be ruined."

Bai Cangze had no choice but to hug her back in his arms. "I understand, but it's not a good idea for you to live in the dormitory all the time. I've asked Zhao Jingying to come over tomorrow to build a house for you. How about building a bigger one this time?"

After hearing Zhao Jingying's name, Ji Ming said excitedly, "Okay, okay, I haven't seen him for a long time. But after he finishes building the house, you should send him back to Kunze Palace. Otherwise, he has been longing to work in Kunze Palace, and you sent him to Fengxi Garden instead. What a shame."

Bai Cangze took Ji Mingqing's hand and at the same time transferred all his spiritual energy into Ji Mingqing's body to relieve his fatigue. "That's natural. I never force anyone to come to Fengxi Garden, you know."

That’s true, but Bai Cangze used a lot of money to trick people into coming here, so it can’t be considered as forcing.

"How were the results of today's battle?"

After Bai Cangze asked this question, he saw a gleam of excitement in Ji Mingqing's eyes, which had just been slightly tired.

"We've already closed deals with five of them today, which is a great start. Huang Dingzhi, in particular, not only booked a shop, but also asked me to reserve a spot for him in the mall. I originally thought he was just showing his support, but I didn't expect he actually has quite a few good things."

"Indeed, Xihuan Island is rich in resources and has many unique products. However, his father, Huang Jiuzhen, is unwilling to share them with outsiders for some reason, so those products have only appeared on Xihuan Island. Although Huang Dingzhi has agreed to come out this time, you still have to overcome Huang Jiuzhen."

"Then I still hope Huang Dingzhi can convince his father. However, he can't even keep fairy beasts on the island. I think he still needs to be prepared to face Huang Jiuzhen in person."

"But other than that, the other four companies have all agreed, and those who agree are all influential. I plan to sign contracts with them in the next two days. Only after things are settled will I feel at ease."

"After they spread the images of Fengxi Garden today, I expect more people will come to visit. I've already ordered people to develop new features for the Immortal Ring, which should be online in the next few days. By then, the spread of information will definitely be even faster."

"New features? What new features?" Ji Mingqing was a little curious. "Did you develop a circle of friends?"

Bai Cangze coughed lightly and nodded, saying, "There are also some online contact methods. After going to the small world, I realized how poor the functions of the immortal ring are. I have already told them roughly what I saw and heard in the small world. You will feel it when you upgrade in the next few days."

"You've really done a lot these days." Ji Mingqing pinched Bai Cangze's fingers, "But how many contacts do you have in your immortal ring? Send me an advertisement when the time comes."

After hearing Ji Mingqing's request, Bai Cangze nodded slightly and said, "Of course."

Ji Mingqing looked at Bai Cangze, who was taking his actions seriously, and his love for Bai Cangze was about to overflow.

Sometimes he felt that Bai Cangze was so contradictory. Either he was extremely domineering, or he was extremely obedient. Ji Mingqing had no idea when and what kind of personality he would show.

So mysterious, so elusive, I love it!

Just when Ji Mingqing was immersed in his own imagination, the two of them had already walked to the dormitory door. Because Ji Mingqing's inn was opened, more people came to Kunze Palace to help. Before, the dormitory could not even fill one building, but now two and a half buildings were full. He and Bai Cangze stood in front of the brightly lit dormitory door, embarrassed to be too close.

"Then I'll go in first." Ji Mingqing wanted to let go of Bai Cangze's hand, but Bai Cangze held it tightly.

Ji Mingqing glanced at the dormitory building where lights were on in every window, and struggled hard to break free, but Bai Cangze held his hand instead.

"What's wrong?"

Ji Mingqing raised his head and said to Bai Cangze anxiously, "Let go quickly! It would be bad if someone saw this!"

Bai Cangze frowned, "So what if others see it? They already know about us."

"Knowing is one thing, seeing is another, but how did they know?"

"I told Cui Ding." Bai Cangze spoke briefly and Ji Mingqing immediately understood what Bai Cangze meant.

Cui Ding is a big mouth!

"Everyone knows about this, so there's no need to show off your affection in front of other people's doors." Ji Mingqing pushed Bai Cangze's chest, "I'm tired. I have to get up early tomorrow."

Bai Cangze ignored him. When Ji Mingqing was about to speak, Bai Cangze raised his hand and gently kissed the back of his hand.

Ji Mingqing had forgotten everything he wanted to say just now. All that was left was a tingling sensation like an electric shock from the back of his hand, which spread throughout his body the moment his lips touched the back of his hand.

"What is this?" Ji Mingqing saw a silver bracelet appear on his wrist. There was a decoration on the bracelet that emitted a luminous green light. The white jade wrapped around the green light gave the bracelet a sense of simplicity and elegance.

"This is the core of the Hongmeng Treasure Tree. Carry it with you from now on. Don't take it off when you practice. It will be good for you."

Ji Mingqing looked at Bai Cangze's serious expression and said jokingly, "Do you allow me to wear this tree core now? Do I need to thank you for the grace you have bestowed upon me?"

Bai Cangze's Adam's apple moved, and after a long while he managed to say, "No need."

Ji Mingqing originally thought that Bai Cangze would be angry and let him go, but he found that Bai Cangze's hand on his hand was getting tighter and tighter.

Ji Mingqing understood. He looked around and found that there was no one there, so he walked quickly forward, raised his head, and gently pecked Bai Cangze on the lips.

"Goodnight, Komaru."
