Mu Youran did indeed have a solution, but now it seems that the solution is more valuable coming from Ying Yao than from her.

After all, she didn't intend to handle all the business matters herself, otherwise she might be exhausted.

Moreover, this is the Beast King's territory. If Ying Yao can leave a good impression on the Beast King, it will naturally be easier for him to do things.

He turned to Ying Yao and Long Yin and asked, "Tell me, do you have any ideas?"

Long Yin scratched his head; he didn't know either.

In the entire Beast King City, all the shops in good locations are controlled by those powerful families. Even if there are a few that aren't, they have something on them that the families can't touch, so they can't shake the family's position.

Don't be fooled by their heated arguments over interests; when it really matters, they're very good at sticking together!

"How about we borrow some money to buy it?"

"Anyway, our business is definitely going to make money; we'll earn it back sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this terrible idea, the Beast King was so angry that he kicked him in the leg!

"You idiot, if this method worked, would we need you to come up with it?"

That was his initial thought, but the rat tribe treated him like a toy.

They agree on a price today, then raise it tomorrow. They're completely unreliable and don't take him seriously at all. This is outrageous!

Moreover, the other prominent families all refused to sell, clearly because they were afraid he would steal their business!

It seems that doing business is really profitable; otherwise, why would those wealthy families keep their money so tightly under wraps?

Ying Yao was amused by the interaction between the two. It was surprising that a beast king could have such a side. No wonder Long Yin was so innocent and guileless.

They were even willing to spend a large sum of blue crystals just to lend a witch to the Sunset Tribe.

That's something he's capable of doing.

He couldn't help but chuckle: "You're the Beast King, why do you insist on buying a shop?"

Upon hearing this, the Beast King and Dragon Hidden looked at Eagle Yao: "What do you mean by that?"

If they don't go to buy, where are the shops?

Are you suggesting we rob him? Even though he's the Beast King, he still has his pride!

Moreover, the entire Beast King City is incredibly valuable, and any space available for building houses has long been occupied.

Ying Yao: "The entire orc continent is your land. Just go and build wherever you want."

"How much space can a mere shop take up?"

Upon hearing this, the Beast King frowned and sized up the male who seemed to be of some caliber.

But my brain isn't working very well!

"In this entire Beast King City, all the land suitable for building houses has long been occupied by those powerful families. There's no empty space left!"

If there were vacant land, he wouldn't be worried about this!

Faced with the Beast King's change of expression, Ying Yao remained unmoved, instead maintaining a faint smile.

"Really? Then why do I see such a large square outside the royal city? Could that also belong to those aristocratic families?"

Long Yin shook his head and explained, "Although that place isn't the territory of the aristocratic families, it's surrounded by their shops. They often pile up things in that square. If we were to take it over, they definitely wouldn't agree."

"Pooh!"

At this moment, upon hearing Ying Yao's words, the Beast King suddenly felt enlightened, as if he had been given a sudden awakening.

Unexpectedly, Long Yin uttered such weak words, making him wish he could give Long Yin a good whack on the head to see if he had any brains at all, and how could he say such brainless things!

"Are you stupid? The whole world belongs to the king. That place doesn't belong to any noble family, so it's mine!"

"It's mine, why can't it be repaired?"

Moreover, Ying Yao is right, he is the Beast King!

Since those powerful families are opposing me like this, I don't need to give them any special treatment!

Besides, that square never belonged to them in the first place!

At this moment, the Beast King looked at Ying Yao with admiration and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

"Young people really do have sharper minds!"

"I'll have someone take care of it right away!"

After saying that, he left happily.

Long Yin, who had been rebuked, was left feeling somewhat embarrassed. He couldn't understand why he had acted so stupidly.

Didn't he teach me before that I shouldn't take what isn't mine, and that I should be an upright dragon beastman?

Although that place doesn't belong to those powerful families, they've occupied it for a long time. If it's not handled properly, they'll gang up on it and attack it.

Mu Youran noticed his somewhat disappointed mood and reached out to stroke his hand that was resting on the blanket.

"Don't even think about it. The Beast King is the king of the entire Beastman continent. If that empty land isn't his, whose is it?"

"We've let those powerful families use it for so many years for nothing, and now we're just taking it back."

"Okay~"

Long Yin wanted to say something more, but in the end he swallowed it back.

You Ran is right, and he understands this principle.

However, he was afraid that his father would be attacked by those powerful families.

You have to understand that the greatest wealth in the entire Beast King City is in the hands of those powerful families. If you offend them, how can you continue your lending business?

Ying Yao felt a pang of pain in his teeth as he watched him struggle to keep up with his thoughts.

It seems that leaving You Ran in his care was a mistake!

Seeing that You Ran was rubbing her lower back from exhaustion, he quickly helped her lie down: "Lie down, I'll massage it for you."

Mu Youran turned around and lay down, and a warm feeling instantly washed over her waist, which felt very comfortable.

Although Long Yin is also very good, he is still too young. He has passion, but he lacks thoughtfulness and attentiveness.
