"Slap slap~"
Yan Xiao was feeling down when she heard applause.
She turned her head toward the direction of the sound and saw Mu Yunniang walking toward her, accompanied by a refined man holding a folding fan.
Judging from the way the man stopped clapping, he must have been the one who had just been applauding.
Yan Xiao's eyes darted around, and without even thinking, she guessed who this man was. There was probably no one else but Mu Yunniang's husband, Situ Nanzhao.
She subtly sized him up, her face remaining impassive, but inwardly she was already thinking: No wonder he could bewitch Mu Yunniang; he does look quite presentable.
Situ Nanzhao was unaware that Yan Xiao had already labeled him a scumbag. Seeing Yan Xiao looking over, he quickly smiled politely at her and took the initiative to say:
"I heard from Yunniang that Miss Lou was developing something new, so I thought I'd come and see what was going on. I never expected to see such a spectacular sight. Miss Lou is truly a genius."
Yan Xiao was in a bad mood because of the failed bomb-making attempt, so she wasn't particularly pleased by the flattery. However, remembering that this was a business partner, she still had to give them face, and politely replied:
"You must be Mr. Qian, known as the Money Maker. I've heard so much about you."
"Miss Lou, you're too kind."
Situ Nanzhao cupped his hands slightly and suggested with a smile:
"The commotion here was a bit too loud just now. It'll probably attract some nearby residents soon. Let's find somewhere else to talk."
Yan Xiao had the same idea, and upon hearing this, he nodded in agreement.
Not long after they left, groups of two or three people came to where Yan Xiao had just been, whispering among themselves with expressions of surprise.
"What was that just now? You all saw it, right?"
"I see it! I see it! Is it a god descending to earth?"
"I don't think so. It's so beautiful and dazzling, like a rare treasure being born, as described in books."
“You’re all wrong. I think maybe it’s a revelation from heaven.”
Yan Xiao had no idea how the accidental fireworks display had been interpreted by those who saw it, because she was hearing the long-lost voice of her guardian deity, which sounded somewhat exasperated.
"Can you tell me what you're doing, and what you want to do? Huh?"
The familiar "ah" made Yan Xiao's head ache; she was somewhat confused.
"What can I do? Research something new to help my man seize power as soon as possible!"
The moment Yan Xiao uttered those words, the guardian spirit exploded:
"My dear aunt, even if I'm begging you, I don't expect you to help me with anything, just shut up, okay? Please, okay?"
The guardian was furious. Seeing that the world's plot had stabilized, he relaxed and took a nap, only to be woken up by a sudden spacetime tremor.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw that Yan Xiao had come up with something new. After a little analysis, he knew that Yan Xiao was up to no good, which is why he hurriedly jumped out.
Yan Xiao was completely stunned and couldn't react for a moment. Then she heard the guardian spirit say:
"This isn't the era of firearms. The male lead relies on firearms to gain power. Isn't that a bit off-topic?"
Just when the plot was starting to get on track, I only took a nap, and you started causing trouble. Do you want me dead? Huh?
Yanxiao:......
Yan Xiao swore that she really didn't do it on purpose this time; she was just trying to be kind and didn't think too much about it.
But upon closer reflection, what the guardian deity said does seem to make sense.
If she really develops the bomb, what chance will other factions have? And those storylines really can't go any further.
The ending can be summed up in a single sentence:
Shen Muzhi's new weapon, the bomb, was incredibly accurate, blasting any dissenting forces to smithereens. Other forces, seeing this, readily submitted and submitted, allowing Shen Muzhi to easily unify the world.
She had a beautiful plan, but unfortunately she forgot that there were still plot points to follow, and this world had many limitations before the finale.
"Okay, I got it. Anyway, it hasn't been successfully developed yet, so let's just consider this as me setting off fireworks to celebrate Shen Muzhi's triumphant return in advance."
Having figured it out, she felt a little discouraged. If that's the case, then what was the point of all that "bang bang bang bang" for so long, making herself look so disheveled?
Seeing that the laughter had subsided, the guardian spirit gave a few more instructions before retreating, but dared not doze off again.
Yan Xiao had already returned to the courtyard with Mu Yunniang.
"Yunniang, I am dressed rather rudely. You and your husband should go first. I will come back after I have tidied myself up."
Mu Yunniang naturally had no objection, nodded slightly, and left with Situ Nanzhao, leaving behind two maids.
They didn't have to wait long before Yanxiao changed her clothes and entered the house, led by two maids.
After entering the house, the group ate together and chatted casually. By the time they had finished eating, they had become more familiar with each other.
Yan Xiao couldn't help but admire that Situ Nanzhao was indeed a successful businessman; he was truly shrewd and charming, and gave people a pleasant and welcoming feeling.
Even though she had some prejudice against this person, after the meal, she not only felt no discomfort, but also developed a greater appreciation for him.
No wonder Mu Yunniang was so devoted to him. He was rich, handsome, and knew how to get things done. If he wanted, any other girl would probably be bewitched by him.
Just as Yan Xiao was thinking this, she heard Situ Nanzhao say with a smile:
“I have read the letter Zhu Xin gave me. I have made some preparations in the past few days. As long as you agree and can provide the goods, you don’t need to worry about the sales.”
Situ Nanzhao could tell that Yan Xiao was a person who didn't like to talk nonsense, so he spoke very directly, catering to Yan Xiao's preferences.
Yan Xiao was naturally happy to agree, and the two then discussed some details of the collaboration.
After finishing talking about the soap, Yanxiao had finished eating and wanted to take her leave.
Then Situ Nanzhao suddenly asked:
"What was that you just placed in the sky outside, Madam? I'm very curious. Would you mind telling me?"
Yan Xiao casually replied, "It's just a pretty thing. I play with it when I'm bored."
"I see~"
Situ Nanzhao pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked:
"I wonder if the process of making this thing is difficult? I heard from Yunniang that she almost burned the house down."
After finishing his sentence, Situ Nanzhao, fearing that Yan Xiao might misunderstand, quickly continued:
"Madam, please don't misunderstand. I just think that thing is exceptionally beautiful. If it could be mass-produced, it might be favored by some ladies and young women."
Yan Xiao's eyes lit up when she heard this.
She was so focused on killing people that she forgot this thing was fireworks, something that didn't exist in this world. Wasn't this a business opportunity?
Although we live in a chaotic world, the rich in chaotic times are truly rolling in money.
These fireworks could easily become a luxury item these days. Thinking of this, her eyes lit up when she looked at Situ Nanzhao, as if she were looking at a money-giving boy.
She thought to herself that the other person was indeed a businesswoman, much more astute than her in seizing business opportunities. This was a good habit that she should learn from.
