Chapter 712 - 388: What? The Gu Family’s Young Madam Descends the Mountain to Capture Old Demon Duan Alive!
Although Duan Yun had intimidated the Martial World in Wangchun City with force, the city was a mixed bag of characters, so the Jade Pearl Heroes decided to temporarily stay in the city, especially after Yuzhu Manor was destroyed.
They stayed at the home of the Second Elder, Li Mofei.
It’s like killing someone and then living in their house.
Had the Murong brothers not been true men of pure love, they might have slept with Li Mofei’s wife, given that he had ambushed them before, making them gnash their teeth in hatred.
Li Mofei’s mansion wasn’t far from the Black Tower, and because they had someone to guide them, they arrived quickly.
Upon arriving at Li Mansion, everyone was somewhat astonished.
Outside, it looked like a large house, but inside it was beyond luxurious.
Jade cups, silver bowls, gold chopsticks, and even a chair made of gold.
And this was after the bold ones had looted the place upon learning the news.
Of course, the looting wasn’t severe because Duan Yun had announced that theft, robbery, and murder would be punished instantly, so only the very daring took away easily portable items.
This was just the surface of luxury; the inner chambers were even more unbelievable.
The interior, referred to as such, was about his servants and wives.
This guy had married at least twenty-seven women, ranging from teenage girls to seventy-year-old grandmothers. They included not just Golden-haired women from Tianzhou but also apologetic, unclothed Fusang women who liked to apologize on their knees, and even twin black sisters whose teeth shone with a scary whiteness when they smiled.
It is said that these twin black sisters had encountered a shipwreck at sea, floated all the way over, and were considered singular in the Yun and Yu States; Li Mofei was immensely proud of having married them.
The Murong brothers nearly wept with jealousy, exclaiming, "This old scoundrel has such a variety of tastes. Though our Murong family is quite grande, when it comes to indulgence, compared to him, we’re like fresh recruits."
Duan Yun remained silent, while Feng Ling’er’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The Murong family may appear inexperienced on the surface, but who knows what goes on inside? Where else would all those half-sisters come from?
Ultimately, Li Mofei’s twenty-seven women were allowed to return home if they wanted to, and those with no home wanting to stay could stay as servants.
Surprisingly, as many as twenty-three were willing to stay as servants.
Because they all knew that whoever managed to defeat their husband was naturally stronger and quite handsome; they’d be willing to serve even as Star Fury, let alone as servants.
In the end, Duan Yun gifted the elderly and the black twin sisters to the Murong brothers and Ning Qing as servants.
The Murong brothers were delighted beyond measure.
Clearly, they too felt proud to have the unique black sisters.
"You, Old Demon Duan, have the Goddess Catcher sisters, and now I have my own!"
Afterward, the Jade Pearl Heroes began to discuss future plans at Li Mansion.
It was evident that everyone was quite excited.
Including Duan Yun.
Because this was the first city they conquered, and it was the first piece of Heroic Land they had to carefully plan and maintain. Who knew what it would become, but the future seemed promising.
Ziyu was especially enthusiastic that night, saying, "Things like this, I believe I have quite some room to showcase my abilities!"
Duan Yun asked suspiciously, "You?"
This woman was only known for her split personality and swordsmanship besides writing erotic books; he really couldn’t imagine where her talents lay.
Ziyu retorted stubbornly, "In ’The Fall of the Goddess Constable’ that you’ve read countless times, I detailed the living conditions of commoners and water management efforts. Especially water management, I spent a long time researching before writing."
Duan Yun hurriedly said, "Why would someone writing this type of book research water management, and honestly, I haven’t read it countless times!"
He looked around and saw everyone wore a look of disbelief.
The Murong brothers even mocked, "The book you hid has pages worn shiny, plus your interest in the Goddess Catcher sisters is well known in the Martial World—everyone knows it’s your kink."
Hearing this, Feng Ling’er clenched her fists, resentment deepening in her eyes.
"Nonsense, Leng Yimeng and her group are just acquaintances. Back to the point, what exactly do you plan to do?" Duan Yun asked Ziyu, steering the conversation away.
Ziyu said, "I discovered long ago that the lake outside Yuzhu Manor is incredibly vast. During the rainy seasons, it tends to overflow, inundating surrounding farmlands, leaving farmers with no harvests. Meanwhile, outside Wangchun City, there’s a lot of wasteland, and the reason it hasn’t been cultivated further is due to a lack of water."
"I believe if we gather manpower to dig a canal, diverting the lake’s water eastward, not only will it alleviate flooding near the lake, but it could also potentially double the arable land outside Wangchun City."
The Murong brothers were taken aback, "Double?"
Wangchun City was historically known not just for its reputation of vice but also as "Yun State’s Granary."
As the largest granary in Yun State, the Mo Sect profited immensely from it. If this fertile land could be doubled, my god...
Duan Yun asked Ziyu, "How confident are you in this?"
Ziyu thumped her ample chest, saying, "At least ninety percent! As long as we have enough manpower, especially Body Cultivators skilled in stone-cutting and earth-moving, we can see results by next year’s rainy season."
Seeing Duan Yun’s skepticism, Ziyu said in a hurry, "If it fails, I’ll be your Star Fury."
Duan Yun clapped and said, "Alright, this project, Young Hero Duan is in!"
The Murong brothers, hearing this, stood up immediately, exclaiming passionately, "I have one too! I have a project!"
Feng Ling’er commented irritably, "What legitimate project could you have?"
The Murong brothers said, "Since I’m going to check the health of the girls in the brothel, I might as well establish an inspection station. Anyone who wants it, brothel girl or not, can get checked, but under forty because, over forty, I fear my capabilities aren’t..."
