Chapter 529: Chapter 527 South-North Commerce
South-North Commerce.
Ming Linyuan closed the ledger and stretched languidly.
Suddenly sensing something, he looked up towards the shop’s entrance… There stood Sally with her large belly, holding Little Shiba in her arms, gray and unremarkable, and nobody would guess that he was a pureblood Ghost Chariot Phoenix Bird.
Manman was playing with sugar figurines on the candy stall across the street with Little Shiyi.
Seeing him finish up, Sally smiled, “I’ve brought the kids back.”
Ming Linyuan’s throat choked up instantly as he hurried over, “Yanyan!”
Sally continued, “Thinking about the big migration and how busy you all were, I didn’t come back. Is everything settled now?”
All of Ming Linyuan’s ties with the Lower Realm had become a thing of the past.
Here, he had started over, just like Zi Qi.
However, he was lucky, and within a few short years, his business had flourished. South-North Commerce had made a name for itself. When it came to shopping, if there was a South-North Commerce nearby, it would be the first choice.
And with Zi Qi, the Immortal Emperor of the East Immortal Country as a backer, though new, it was a significant support.
Ming Linyuan could have sought the patronage of the Phoenix Spiritual Bird Clan as well, but with three children to raise and Sally, he couldn’t bear to see them suffer under someone else’s roof.
“Yes, everything is fine now. We were just waiting for you to come back,” Ming Linyuan said as he took Little Shiba from her arms.
The little one didn’t show any estrangement despite not seeing his father for a long time. His phoenix eyes were shining brightly as he looked at Ming Linyuan, “Dad, don’t you think your son has become much handsomer?”
“Handsome! My son is the handsomest!” Ming Linyuan laughed, feeling joy swell from deep within his chest.
Manman and Little Shiyi also ran back.
“Dad, this sugar figurine is for you,” Manman said, holding up the sugar figurine with her wings. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Little Shiyi, munching on his own, praised, “Dad, this commerce shop is really good.”
“Thank you Manman, thank you Little Shiyi,” Ming Linyuan said as he ruffled Manman’s fuzzy head, then took the sugar figurine, handing it to the eager Little Shiba.
And to Little Shiyi, “Your grandfather sent a letter, he wants you to go to the Demon Realm.”
“No way, it’s boring over there,” Little Shiyi teleported onto the counter, his eyes sparkling as he looked over the goods on the shelves, “All treasures!”
“Take whatever you like,” Ming Linyuan urged, placing Little Shiba on the counter and taking out a nest cushion from the Space Ring for him to lie on.
The little guy couldn’t be more comfortable.
Sally looked around at the spacious and bright shop and took out some beautiful shelves, gift boxes, exquisitely comfortable sofas, coffee tables, cups, fresh flowers, and decorations from the System Space…
Suddenly the entire style of the shop was transformed.
New customers who came in were all astonished, “Boss, is this… newly decorated?”
Ming Linyuan smiled in response, “Yes, all done in less than fifteen minutes.”
“You’re busy, I’ll go check the back,” Sally said to Ming Linyuan.
Ming Linyuan nodded, “Mother is in the backyard.”
“Okay,” Sally said, taking the three children through a long corridor to the rear courtyard.
A few helpers were working when they saw Sally, they all paused in surprise.
Old Madam Ming came out from the accounting room, and upon seeing Sally and the children, her eyes brightened instantly, “Xiao Yan is back, as well as Manman, Little Shiyi, and Little Shiba, welcome home.”
“Grandma—” Manman flew towards Old Madam Ming.
Old Madam Ming held her tightly, “It’s been years since I’ve seen you, I’ve missed you so much.”
Little Shiyi and Little Shiba also clung to Old Madam Ming.
Old Madam Ming brought Sally inside the house to rest. She also prepared their favorite snacks and dried meat for the three children.
Watching their affectionate behavior, Sally said with a smile, “Thinking of how Manman’s father just arrived in the Eastern Immortal Realm, he must be busy for a while, so I didn’t come back to add to the chaos.”
“You’re right. You considered things very thoroughly, and it has just stabilized. When we first arrived in the Eastern Immortal Realm, it was too chaotic to speak of, every day was a mess. Luckily, the children were with you. Lin Yuan did well, he secured Golden Phoenix Mountain, and from now on we will settle there.”
“Golden Phoenix Mountain?” Sally remembered the place; it was also a blessed land with an immortal mountain.
“That place is quite good, not far from Jiushen Mountain.”
“I heard Jiushen Mountain is a treasure land of a Divine Monarch in the Divine Realm, a lot of people have their eyes on it, but they all came back defeated.”
“Grandma, Jiushen Mountain belongs to my brother Fourteen and sister Fifteen, we even had our monthly exams there before,” Manman replied.
“Ah?” Old Madam Ming was surprised, then looked at Sally, “Is that so?”
Sally nodded, “Yes, I came back this time because I’m nearing childbirth, and I’m going there for the delivery.”
“It’s said that Jiushen Mountain is full of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures,” said Old Madam Ming.
Sally said, “That’s right. Most of them are of Holy-grade, and the Quasi-Divine Grade ones are quite rare. But Little Shiyi is very good at finding them, he always manages to find some.”
“Xiao Yan, here’s the thing. When Manman’s father bought it, all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the mountain were harvested, leaving only bare mountain tops. Can you move some of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from Jiushen Mountain to Golden Phoenix Mountain? Just the saplings will do, it’s mainly for nourishing the mountain.”
“Sure,” Sally agreed without hesitation, “If Jiushen Mountain isn’t enough, there’s also Yunmeng Island, which has plenty of saplings.”
Old Madam Ming was overjoyed, “Thank you, Xiao Yan, you’ve been a great help. Now, all the powers are establishing sects and building mansions, and these saplings are not only expensive but also hardly accessible for purchase.”
“It’s nothing.” Sally patted Little Shiyi, “You’ll help grandma well in the future, okay?”
“Understood, mommy,” Little Shiyi dutifully responded.
Old Madam Ming said, “No need, no need, he’s still so little, he doesn’t need to help.”
Sally replied, “Madam Ming doesn’t know, but Little Shiyi is not only skilled in treasure hunting, but he is also a Saint Rank Earth Element Secret Technique adept. I have another child who is a Wood Element Rule Secret Technique adept, especially skilled in growing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. These two working together, will surely turn Golden Phoenix Mountain into a glittering treasure mountain.”
Old Madam Ming was thrilled, “Thank you so much, Xiao Yan, I don’t even know how to express my gratitude.”
“Why stand on ceremony with family?” Sally said with a smile.
Ming Linyuan also came back, “It’s just about mealtime, let’s go to the restaurant opened by Zulu.”
“What? Zulu opened a restaurant?” Sally was astonished.
“Yes, and it’s doing very well. At this time, it’s probably full already, but if we go there, we’ll definitely have a spot.”
Zi Qi had sent her to deliver the children one by one, without telling her what these Beast Husbands had been up to after arriving in the Eastern Immortal Realm.
She wasn’t too surprised about Ming Linyuan’s South-North Commerce.
But the fact that Zulu had started a restaurant business surprised her, “How could that be possible! Apart from dried meat, his cooking isn’t tasty.”
“They say Yona gave him a cookbook, he tried cooking from it, and it tasted very good. It started as a roadside stall, but the business grew bit by bit, and now he has opened several restaurants.”
“…” Sally was speechless.
Manman raised her wings, “I know what’s going on with that cookbook!”
“Oh?” Sally asked, “What happened?”
“Sister Xuan asked Uncle Xiang for it,” Little Shiba interjected.
