The man in black paused, then, quite unusually, uttered a remarkably down-to-earth statement: "The year-end is just a few months away. I wish everyone a peaceful and prosperous New Year."

The slender man paused for a long time before clasping his hands in a fist and nodding, "Yes, Your Excellency."

Hui Nuan Ge.

Shang Xiye sat on the long couch by the window, holding a book in her hand, looking at it with a resentful expression, which attracted Wuying's frequent sidelong glances.

His mistress has been so worried these past few days that she's practically a resentful woman confined to her chambers.

Look at the book "Strategies" he's holding; it looks like a romantic novel.

Unfortunately, his princess was quite carefree and was at the eight-immortal table in the outer room, discussing the business of opening a business with that boy Wang An. They were having a heated discussion and had no time to comfort his almost withered master.

The so-called "lively atmosphere" was actually just Wang An talking animatedly while Ji Fengyao rested her elbows on the table, her chin on her hand, her phoenix eyes half-closed in drowsiness, listening in a daze, occasionally offering perfunctory remarks such as "I think you're very good" or "I think you're absolutely right."

She wasn't interested in making money from gold and silver; but she'd be more interested in making spirit stones.

Wow, Wang An is such a shrewd businessman; we could take him to the Danling Continent to do business and earn spirit stones!

She and her master were never good at managing things. As a result, the once-great Dan Sect became deserted due to the sect's financial difficulties and hardship. It was a disgrace to be told this.

The prestigious Dan Sect should be the wealthiest immortal sect on the Danling Continent!

With that thought in mind, Ji Fengyao suddenly became interested.

Looking at Wang An again was like seeing countless spirit mines; her eyes sparkled with light.

Wang An, who was discussing the choice of side dish positions, was startled by Ji Fengyao's wolf-like gaze and instinctively shrank back: "Little sister, why are you suddenly looking at me like that? I'm a little scared."

Ji Fengyao patted Wang An on the shoulder and smiled meaningfully: "Little Anzi, do a good job. Just practice with this money. It doesn't matter if you lose money. Practice makes perfect. I have faith in you and will definitely support you with all my might!"

Wang An: "...You have to call me brother."

"Little Anzi is so kind," Ji Fengyao said with a smile.

Wang An exclaimed indignantly, "This title sounds like that of a eunuch!"

Ji Fengyao ignored him, waved her hand, and took out a stack of silver notes from her sleeve pocket (the space of the storage stone): "Come on, Xiao Anzi, this is my additional investment. Take it all and make something of yourself."

Wang An: "...!"

Holy crap, so many silver notes!

These must have all been stolen by my sister before. I really want to go back and rob Brother Fengming and Brother Heixiao again!

I wish I could get rich overnight, I wish I could get something for nothing!

But thinking about the look on his father's face when he found out he was going to do business with the Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess, which made him want to chop him into a human pig, Wang An could only give up on the idea.

If he really followed his godfather and Ji Fengming to the mountains to become an outlaw, his father would probably really turn him into a human pig.

Let's just do business honestly and make money legitimately!

The two had just finished discussing the noodle shop and workshop when they suddenly heard a commotion outside the courtyard, as if a large group of people had arrived.

The eunuch De's distinctive high-pitched voice came from the inner courtyard gate: "Imperial decree has arrived. Please receive the decree, Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess!"

When Ji Fengyao heard Eunuch De's greeting, her heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face froze for a moment.
