Chapter 176 - Chapter 176: Chapter 153: Marketplace Planning_l (2/2)
“What else can we do? We can only keep going on this road! I don’t believe that with the few people he has, he can manage such a large marketplace!” Lv Yi said viciously.
Now he had no other way out. If he didn’t want to descend into the bitter life of a Loose Cultivator, he could only resort to desperate measures, pressuring Xu Mu to surrender first. Worst comes to worst, he would give his opponent an out when the time comes.
“We have no other choice!”
Lv Lang sighed.
Just as the ousted members from the Chi and Lv families were preparing to jointly cause a commotion in White River City, a Flying Boat from the Liyang Sect came flying over. It brought Si Tan’er, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and more than 300 Loose Cultivators from Liyang City.
“My husband, why did you ask me to bring so many people?”
Si Tan’er said, puzzled.
Before they left, Xu Mu only informed her to hire a group of loose cultivators at a high price, without explaining why.
“Of course, to manage the city.”
Xu Mu did not hide anything and told her about the situation in White River City.
“What? These people are really bold! Husband, leave it to me, let’s see how I’ll deal with them!”
Si Tan’er rarely showed such domineering.
“Good!”
Xu Mu replied cheerfully.
He would be watching over, ensuring nothing would go wrong, and this could be a chance to develop Si Tan’er’s abilities.
“Take these for self-defense!”
Xu Mu took out two high-level Foundation Establishment corpses that he had seized from the Elder of the Iron Corpse Gang and handed them to Si Tan’er.
To mask the scent of the corpses, he specially crafted a set of armor; Si Tan’er would use them as if they were mere puppets to the untrained eye.
Speaking of puppets, Xu Mu indeed intended to craft some.
Compared to one-time items like Talismans, puppets were obviously more durable.
They could even be passed down as family heirlooms.
“Thank you, my husband!”
Obtaining two high-level bodyguards for no reason, Si Tan’er was naturally extremely delighted.
Late into the night, the couple couldn’t help but engage several times. As they wound down, Xu Mu suddenly asked.
“Tan’er, do you want to have children?”
“Yes, I dream about it! But it’s really difficult at our level!”
Si Tan’er expressed a hint of disappointment.
Of course, she hoped for a child to solidify their relationship together.
But when she married Xu Mu, he was already at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so despite their efforts, they yielded no results.
“Don’t worry! As long as you want, I have a way!”
“Really?” Si Tan’er exclaimed with surprise.
“Of course!”
“What’s the method?”
“Let’s have another round!”
After handing over the affairs of White River City to Si Tan’er, Xu Mu started strategizing to set up defensive formations.
With more than 300 new forces, the city was soon brought it under control, and the family was running smoothly.
Si Tan’er had helped her grandfather manage businesses before and Xu Mu was giving directions from behind, managing a small city wasn’t a big problem.
As for Lv Yi and others, they were just clowns. Before they could make a move, they were already dealt with by Si Tan’er.
To assist Si Tan’er in stabilizing the situation in White River City, Xu Mu even recruited his old friend, Shopkeeper Tu.
At the same time, Xu Mu tailored a 10-year development plan for the White River City based on the city-plans of his previous life. With this plan, Si Tan’er could keep the city thriving without much effort.
In the meantime, the defensive formation was set up in less than a month. A white mist, formed by the formation, was enveloping White River City.
Xu Mu handed over the control to Si Tan’er; from then on, White River City was running smoothly.
He opened the system to check, after his series of actions, the family’s luck had reached 680 points.
Just when Xu Mu was counting the time, preparing to return to the Cang Ming Ocean Territory, Chi Feiyan suddenly returned with a swollen belly..
