Chapter 45: The Fabric Shop Business

Yuan Shen left, and Yan Chaonian felt a hollow emptiness within her heart. Already unaccustomed to the new house, she felt even more uneasy, insisting that her little Xun’er sleep beside her at night.

It was less that the child could not bear to be apart from her, and more that she could not bear to be apart from the child.

To stave off the dullness of her days, she purchased a well-located shop in the capital. After refurbishing it, she began dealing in textiles.

All the fabrics in the shop were entrusted by the escort agency to be transported from the southwest, aside from those from Chaijin Workshop.

In the combat bridge of the "Far" heavy cruiser, Colonel Moroi, the captain, repeatedly stroked the stubble just sprouting on his chin.

The flying vessel pressed on, having journeyed for more than half a month, traversing tens of thousands of miles without clear knowledge of the exact distance.

Gao Shun had brought the coffin of Daoist Sheng Lianren to this place. After consulting with Xia Feng and Taishi Ci, they deemed it inappropriate to inform Diao Chan at this moment. They decided to wait until the burial to break the news, so her grief would be briefer. He ordered Gao Shun to escort the coffin ahead to prepare for the funeral arrangements.

At the same time, he calculated that under coercion or temptation, the likelihood of their betrayal might rise to thirty-five percent. Though not high, this probability was sufficient for Chang Zhe Ming to trust them.

“Come, eat more, don’t choke…” With tears in her eyes, Yalan continuously added dishes to Ye Feng’s bowl. Though it was already piled high with food, she remained worried he wouldn’t have enough to eat.

The International Committee was well aware that beyond the listed items in the financial budget, there were other equally important tasks that must be completed. Provided there were adequate funds and personnel, these tasks could indeed be accomplished.

Due to differences in physical strength, the team was gradually stretched out. Suddenly, two members at the rear of the formation were split in two.

Di Chongxiao’s heart itched with curiosity, contemplating how his own primal spirit, Lei Po Ling, upon becoming a saint, might also give rise to similar spectral beasts or spiritual manifestations.

“Ahem…” Yan Luo’s face paled, and an energy orb he had accumulated in his hand vanished into the air with a soft pop.

“Just… giving up like that?” Wei Wei found it hard to believe. However, after Yang Yanting and he had lain in ambush for a long time and confirmed that their opponents had truly left, though still surprised, they had to accept this fact.

During business registration, the army insisted that Yu Qinglan be listed as the legal representative of the juice factory, with all signatures bearing her name.

“I… I can’t walk anymore. Little brother, you’re truly amazing,” Lu Qingyin said softly, her voice weak and gentle.

She was obviously heartbroken, tears clinging to her eyelashes, yet to fall, with a tear streak tracing down her cheek—an image that stirred compassion in anyone who saw it.

The person who had just offered advice now looked utterly bewildered; he would never understand why the other had fired and killed him.

Yang Haiqian nodded. Fortunately, he had kept silent earlier; otherwise, he would have been proven wrong. He had intended to reprimand Zhao Bin but now felt grateful for his restraint.

Tonight the inn was suddenly full, and the landlady was overjoyed, quickly preparing hot water and tidying the bedding.

Though he said otherwise, his fingers kept gently tapping the tiger’s eye bracelet on his wrist.

More than half of the faction leaders showed no hesitation, cruel smiles spreading across their faces as they unleashed their most potent divine powers, charging forward in a violent onslaught.

The soul-calming incense worked effectively; with everyone’s comforting words, Da Bao finally felt somewhat better. He decided to carry the dwarf back intact, securing him with backpack straps over his shoulders.

“If it truly is Chen Qiusheng, you must plan carefully. He was once your subordinate and knows everything about the army inside out, including your combat habits and even some military secrets—these are your vulnerabilities and must be addressed swiftly!” I said.

Inflation tends to stimulate the economy, so the financial system’s chain of changes appears quite straightforward: it looks like the economy is weak, manifests as inflation, then inflation energizes the participants in economic activity, and eventually… the economy improves.
