Ji Xian refused without even thinking.
The source of his supplies appeared out of thin air and cannot be explained at all.
Asking Jemoka to help establish the shipping route would make it too easy to expose his secret, so absolutely not.
However, Jemoka's suggestion did give Ji Xian some inspiration.
If he increases trading volume, it is indeed worth considering establishing a shipping channel.
A fake shipping route.
Used to mislead others.
When someone tries to uncover his secrets, they will use this fake route to investigate, thus ensuring that Ji Xian's secrets are not exposed.
Ji Xian booked two rooms at the hotel, leaving Xia Luoxue and Li Youmi in one room. He then entered his own room and traveled back to the real world.
Xia Luoxue and Li Youmi's advantage is that they are quite obedient. They can agree to whatever Ji Xian says unconditionally. When Ji Xian wants to be alone, he can send them away so they won't cling to him.
Ji Xian returns to the real world and needs to consider which supplies to move and trade with Jemoka.
To increase trading volume, he considered adding more types of transactions.
Rice, flour, and cooking oil can all be transported.
Upon turning on my phone, dozens of missed calls immediately appeared.
Upon closer inspection, most of these missed calls were from overseas.
Ji Xian immediately thought of that foreign princess, Chavarana.
Just as Ji Xian was about to call back, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from overseas.
Ji Xian answered the call immediately.
Then a male voice speaking fluent Chinese was heard: "Hello, Mr. Ji Xian, I am Samir, a supporter of Her Highness the Princess. I hope you still remember me."
Ji Xian remembered that it was the old man who came by boat that day to help transport the gold.
Ji Xian thought it would be Chavalana calling, but it turned out to be one of her subordinates.
Ji Xian said, "I remember you. What can I do for you?"
"I am calling to tell you some unfortunate news: Her Highness is destined to be unable to compete for the throne, and we will return all the gold you gave her."
Ji Xian frowned. He knew how hard Chavarana had fought for the throne, so how could she possibly stop competing for it for no reason?
Ji Xian immediately asked, "What happened?"
Samir said, "Her Highness the Princess collapsed as soon as she returned home. The doctor said she was infected with a superbug, and there is currently no cure in the world. We consulted dozens of experts, and they all said there was no cure. Her Highness the Princess will not live for more than three days. Waaah, my poor Princess, her last wish was to see you one last time before she died."
Samir's voice gradually choked up as he spoke.
Ji Xian was startled after hearing this.
He was all too familiar with superbugs.
When he first arrived in the other world, he was also infected with a superbug, which tormented him to the point of wishing he were dead.
Unexpectedly, Chavalana also got infected.
Ji Xian then suddenly remembered something he had overlooked.
It can travel between two worlds and automatically kill all life on the surface of his body, but it cannot kill the bacteria inside his body.
Ji Xian's body has been strengthened to the point that it can resist bacteria and viruses from another world, but that doesn't mean there are zero bacteria and viruses in his body.
Chavalana's close physical contact with him must mean that he transmitted the bacteria from the other world to her.
Ji Xian was filled with remorse, feeling utterly ashamed of himself for making such a mistake that almost killed his woman.
Ji Xian asked, "Where is she now? I'm coming over right now!"
...
Five hours later, Ji Xian had already arrived in the Lizard Country by plane.
Chavalana previously traveled by water to transport gold, but to quickly reach the Lizard Kingdom, she could have simply taken an airplane.
Samir personally picked up Ji Xian at the airport and drove her to a temple that resembled a palace.
Their country has a strong religious atmosphere. When the princess contracted an incurable disease, her followers moved her to the temple.
The people prayed to the gods, hoping that the gods' power would heal Chavalana.
As Ji Xian entered the temple, he saw devout people kneeling in worship everywhere. There were ordinary people dressed in simple clothes as well as people of high status dressed in gorgeous clothes. Here, all beings were equal, and they were all praying for the princess.
Ji Xian walked through the long corridor and entered the side hall next to the statue, where he saw Chavalana lying on the bed.
Candles were lit all around the room, incense burned in a censer on the table, and several elderly men who looked like enlightened monks sat around Chavalana, chanting scriptures for her.
Chavalana was deathly pale, and beads of sweat kept seeping from her forehead.
Ji Xian frowned; he had experienced this feeling before.
The room was filled with candles and incense, making it feel stuffy.
With so many people chanting scriptures around her, disturbing her rest, her condition will likely only worsen.
Ji Xian demanded that all these people leave.
Samir nodded and summoned all the high monks away.
However, before he left, he told Ji Xian not to spend too much time alone with Chavalana, because these high monks were chanting sutras to help Chavalana fight off her illness.
Ji Xian didn't say anything, but for the first time, he felt a deep aversion to religion.
Chavalana didn't notice Ji Xian immediately. It wasn't until Ji Xian walked over and took her hand that she opened her eyes and noticed him.
"You're here." Chavarana forced a smile.
"I'm sorry!" Ji Xian apologized sincerely.
"Why are you apologizing?" Chavalana asked, confused.
Ji Xian didn't explain, and took out the gene enhancement potion he brought from another world.
It was injected directly into Chavalana's slender arm.
