Chapter 875: Visiting with Sincerity
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
After Tang Xiu sent Miao Wentang away, he immediately went to see Mo Yi and Gui Jianchou. He learned from the duo that they had successfully extracted the active cell in the Bloodkin’s blood. They were now trying to fuse it with Chinese herbal medicines to research drugs that would benefit humanity.
Therefore, Tang Xiu lent the interspatial ring that he obtained from Ji Chimei to Mo Yi temporarily, while Shanzeley and his six underlings donated quite a lot of their blood and stored them away inside the jade bottle. The jade bottle was then stowed inside the fully sealed interspatial ring.
Shanjenna also left three days later with her big brother Shanzeley. The latter promised to ship the Imperial Jade Seal of China along with the huge resources Tang Xiu requested to China within a week. All the goods had been measured in worth and the estimated total value was to be deducted from the remaining fifteen billion GBP.
Finally, Tang Xiu’s life had returned to peacefulness. In the days that followed, he occasionally went out or met with his friends, and spent the rest of his time to study and read at home. As the days passed, there were only two days left before the end of his freshman year.
The sun blazed like a ball of fire as it hung high in the sky.
Bluestar Villa Complex.
Tang Xiu was currently reading the book silently, yet his mind was racing. It was about his next plan of action— the most important thing he needed to do, to make a trip to the Longquan Bay in Kanas to open the Immortal Trove. After that, he needed to make a trip to Nine Dragons Island, as the renovation project there had reached its most critical time. The island would be his home base in the future, so there must not be any problems arising there later.
Ring, ring, ring…
His mobile suddenly rang loudly and interrupted his train of thoughts.
Tang Xiu glanced at the mobile screen. He immediately creased his brows and asked, “What’s up, Awu?”
“Chief Kang came to Shanghai, Boss!”
“Kang Xia?”
“Yeah!”
Tang Xiu said with a curious tone, “Why did she come to Shanghai without notifying in advance? That’s weird. Anyways, just forget it. Where’s she now?”
“Our men just saw her at Shanghai Airport,” answered Mo Awu.
Tang Xiu replied shortly, and, after hanging up, he directly dialed Kang Xia’s cell number. He hadn’t yet talked but her voice already spoke from the phone, “This isn’t fun, you know. I wanted to surprise you, but you turned out to get the news of me coming to Shanghai already.”
“Well, why did you come to Shanghai at this time?” asked Tang Xiu with a chuckle.
“I miss you.” Kang Xia chuckled and said, “It just happens that the last few days I have been relatively idle, nor do I have anything to do in the next couple of days, so I just gave myself a few days of vacation. I’ve been mulling over it for some time, but any place without you is kinda boring, so I just came to Shanghai. Anyways, let’s go back to Star City after you’re done with your final exams.”
“Return to Star City with you? What should I do there?” asked Tang Xiu quizzically.
“You know, Boss Tang. Your bad memory is kinda getting worse. You only ask others to do things without getting involved yourself, huh?” berated Kang Xia with a wry tone. “The New City project originally planned to be opened for sale June 1st. But since the Long Family had a problem with the Walled Hill Village a year ago, the project was affected and it has been delayed until now. We’ve prepared quite a sum this time, yet how can we open without you personally attending?”
Tang Xiu came to his senses suddenly and smilingly said, “I would have truly forgotten about it if not for you reminding me. Alright, then head straight to my place in Bluestar villa complex.”
“Got it. Wait for me there.”
At noon, Kang Xia came with a suitcase in hand. She didn’t hide the look of excitement on her stunningly beautiful face when she saw Tang Xiu. She gave him a big hug, and, while leaning in his embrace, she asked, “It’s been a long time since we’ve met. We’ve only been communicating by phone; have you been missing me?”
“I miss you!” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
Kang Xia pouted and said in a whisper, ” Hmph , you miss me yet you didn’t even come to see me in Star City at all. I heard you went to Qingcheng Mountain a few days ago and stayed there for quite a long time.”
“There was a very important thing I needed to tend to there,” said Tang Xiu.
“I know that you have things to do and it was very important. But seriously? How busy are you exactly?” commented Kang Xia. “What thing do you have to do besides managing our Magnificent Tang Corporation and the Everlasting Feast Hall?”
Tang Xiu couldn’t help but laugh and said, “What else but cultivation besides those two things, right? You know well that wealth and fortune are nothing to me in reality, regardless of what kind of status and privileges I could have from them. What I always pursue is strength by reaching higher cultivation realms.”
“I know that, so I’m gonna tell you good news,” said Kang Xia with laughter. “You see, this lady has just broken through into the Foundation Establishment stage. I’ll be quite a powerful expert later too.”
