She didn't dare look at Lin Ruoxi. She had made up her mind to go to Xizhou with Qin Mo for a carefree life and not stay with Lin Ruoxi. She knew that their friendship was about to capsize.
"Alright! I'll think about it! No one is allowed to leave today."
Even after Qin Mo left, Lin Ruoxi still didn't understand Qin Mo's meaning. She looked at Kaihime in confusion, and Kaihime looked at her and said, "I've been to Southeast Asia and I know that to the west of Southeast Asia is India, but I didn't know that to the west of India is Persia, let alone that you could travel by sea all the way to Persia or even the Western Continent."
“In the past, when we merchants from Great Xia went to the Western Continent, we would go through the Jade Gate Pass, cross the vast yellow sands, the Western Regions, and the Ottoman Empire to reach the Western Continent. Along the way, we had to deal with bandits and different forces, and there were too many variables. If there were a sea route that went directly to the Western Continent, then... its value would be immeasurable.”

"Managing a trade route takes time, and even more importantly, it requires secrecy. Do you understand, Ruoxi?"
"Don't worry, Kai. No one can take our things. Even if we don't think about ourselves, we should think about our children."
Kaihime's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had figured something out, and she nodded in agreement.
Qin Mo didn't know what the two women whispered about after she left, but the two beauties, who were originally very shy about sharing a room, suddenly became passionate.
"We need a child, Your Highness's child."
Kaihime, riding on Qin Mo's back, was blushing, while Lin Ruoxi, who was serving her, spoke righteously about the importance of offspring. This was a strong enough reason, and Qin Mo happily accepted it.
Unbeknownst to Qin Mo, Kaihime was secretly wondering to herself, "I wonder how much my cultivation will improve this time?"
My family member got sick, so things have been a bit hectic these past few days, hence the late update.
