Chapter 31：Traveling With My Husband (6)

"Really, I wonder, who are you guys?"

"Hehe... Mister, since I was able to help you, you'll let me stay. Right?"

"Of course, child. No need call me mister. Please call me Father Duan."

"Alright. Well, it's almost dinner. How about I cook something for you guys to eat since you've let us stay here? Wait-who cares... I already have food. Mother Duan, please call over Zhong'er and Jun'er."

She waved her hand over the dining table and lots of delicious and nutritious food appeared. The children that just came over was practically drooling on the table. Father and Mother Duan had stars in their eyes looking at the small dining table. This was their first time having such good food. The food they were eating now, were not something they thought they would ever get to taste. They thought, "This sister is nice."

After finishing their food, the old couple left to go make meat buns while the children were at the stalls again. This time they had much more liveliness and had on a much happier face. It must have been from the good treatment they got she thought. Ever since seeing all of these children, she really wished she could have her own.

As for her and Xiao Qian, they went into cultivation. She kept on feeling her energy levels rise again so she had to or else she may do something unethical. As for Xiao Qian, he wanted to use the small energy he gained before to search for more. He had learned that the more power he gained back, the more his spiritual body will turn physical. He knew that if he ever wanted to kiss her again, he had to put in effort. Also, he thought that he just might be able to remember all his memories again if he got his powers back.

In the Duan Family, their sales had not rise at all. They were not surprised nor sad, it was normal for them. What was even more normal was those filthy rich people asking them to pay up everyday.

At the front of the house, yelling was heard. "You jerks! Just because you're bigger and you own this place doesn't mean we'll just give you our hard earned money so easily!"

"Hey kid! Give me those money. Don't make this hard now will you?"

"I'll never give you our money unless you kill me!"

"Sigh, you give me no choice. Then, I'll do as you say." He made an evil laugh and when he was about to land a hit on Zhong'er, the old chubby man was suddenly hit instead and landed on his two bums. "I wonder who has the audacious to dare attack my people right in front me?"

"W-who are you?"

"As for who I am, you don't need to know. However, you just need to know that this town is under my rule now. If you do any harm to my people, I'll cut each and every limb you own."

"Haha! You speak tough, but you are as weak as a rabbit! You don't even have a cultivation level! Men! Attack that person!" His henchmen tried to make a hit on her, but somehow, they found themselves being killed not knowing when it had happened at all. The ugly chubby man who was now scared for his life, was now pathetically crawling on the floor begging for his life. "Please, please don't kill me. You want money right? I have lots of money. Just let me leave."

"Hmph... I don't want your disgusting money. Just tell me which government branch you are from. Also, make sure I never see anybody from you guys again or else..."

"Yu Branch!" The ugly man ran away with his tail between his legs whilst tripping everywhere running out of town. The two young ones were looking at her with admiration. "Wow! Sister Lin, you are so cool! Can you teach me?"

"Sure! But it is not now. In the future, I'll teach you. I wish to teach you now, but this sister is busy these few days."

"Eh? Is Sister Lin leaving soon?"

"This sister will be leaving tomorrow evening."

"So soon?"

"I promise I will visit you guys soon." She made a plan in her head on how to improve this town and she made a plan on how to destroy the corrupted government. She was going to make sure that the branch will never be seen again from the world. "Can I get some more meat buns?"

They next day came by and the hours went by fast. When it was time for her to leave, the Duan Family was sad, especially the two child. Zhong'er was trying hard not to cry and Jun'er was already pouring with sadness at her leaving. Before she left, she gave the Duan Family 10 pieces of gold taels. She wanted to give them more, but she couldn't as she did not want the whole entire town going against the family just for money.

She was left with Xiao Qiang back to the city and back into the mansion. Only one day passed by, but so progress had already been made. She destroyed the corrupted branch overnight with no one knowing who, but just knowing that the town was under another's rule. The "another" being someone by the name Huang Hanying.

Nobody knew who this mysterious person was and only knowing that the person had bought the mansion that burned down.

Her 3 days went by normally except for the fact that Xiao Qiang was not by her for the past days. She became more friendlier with the Liu Family and the children at the school. She also got to know more about the children and the small little poverty town knew her everywhere. Everybody was very accepting of her and thought she was nice. Everybody had a good image of her.

When 3 days passed, she dragged Xiao Qiang with her to introduce to her small army. She wanted them to know who he was. After making their introductions, Xiao Qiang left immediately. She knew what he was doing which is why she didn't want to disturb him other than today. She was really happy knowing that he was doing this for her. And as per her orders, the 300 people went to their respective floors.

All the people spent their time learning martial arts from the morning to the afternoon. They then learned how to do business management from afternoon to evening. The rest of the time would be break or if they wanted to, they could have extra lessons. Everyday, she made a special soup for them to drink to have the refreshing feeling everyday. The training continued like this for a month.

After a month's progress, the people that used to be considered trash, were now at a status of Immortal. Some were even at Demonic. She never thought that they would be able to achieve so much in such a short time. However, the 300 people knew that this was only possible with their lady boss helping them.

"One month of training is over. Now is the time to start business. I will be sending some of you guys to start spreading our power." She continued telling everyone what they were responsible for. After having a long session, everyone went into work with their outfits on.

Their work outfit thoroughly matched the building. All 300 of them went to their posts some having to be accountants, be the receptionists, or more. However, nobody was the person in charge of cleaning the big store. She had told them that every night, the store will naturally clean itself. She casted a spell on the place to do this went it strikes midnight.

She had her right and left-hand man, Gong Hu and Hou Xiulan, to go spread their power. Gong Hu was in charge of trying to ally with the Medical Pavilion and Hou Xiulan was in charge of building a new fort in another country, Dong. The Medical Pavilion was a good choice to ally with as they were not arrogant, but they held lots of connections and power. If she was able to ally herself with them, she would be able to have whatever medical things she needed at her side. As for the new fort, it was to recruit spies. That place would slowly hold so much power that even the emperor needs to respect them.

She believed that Hou Xiulan would be able to do this job because the girl was the 5th princess of the Dong Kingdom, yet she was being sold as a slave. She wanted the girl to take her revenge. Gong Hu was meticulous and knew the right words to have someone agree to whatever they had in mind. He was a good persuader.

She also sent the Yuhan to collect information about the world and people. The group consisted of 5 people, Tian Nuan, Qiu Huang, Mao Yuhan, Zeng Lian, and Du Jingyi. These individuals were not only loyal, but they specialized in spying. Their assassination skills were top-notch. They were perfect for finding illegal information about many powerful people. Not only that, the group knew the geography of the world quite well and were able to cooperate really well. Being able to trust and friendly to each other.

Other than these, she also managed her business during the past few days and had expanded it greatly. Her store had become super famous with many of her recipients being very rich and powerful people. It was very hard to get her stuff now and the limited edition was very good at doing its job. The imperial harem was fighting everyday to get her stuff too.

The men also came to her shop everyday. Most of them being very rich and powerful men. There was a time the emperor personally came to visit just to look at her weapons. Her weapons was not easy to look at nor buy, so the emperor only had the chance to look at it, but not the chance to buy it.

Her business had expanded to not only in the retail market, but also restaurants. She had personally taught the chefs to cook so that the food was exquisitely good. Her restaurant was famous starting the first day not only because of the good food, but also because of its services and architect. The restaurant was very well managed with nobody looking down on each other.

She also expanded to the underground business. All her businesses became very successful especially the main department. She practically rich overnight. Her business had expanded to restaurants, general goods, and more.

Her businesses were going well, but she had a meeting with the Medical Pavilion Master. In order to gain favor of the pavilion, she needed to show them that it was worth it. She had went with her face shown and her real name because from her spies, the master is very reliable.

"Master Wu, it is really great to have this chance to meet you. I am Huang Hanying, but that is only my alias. My real name is Xia Lin."

"Straightforward I see." She laughed at his statement. "It is the first time someone has been able to persuade me. You have really talented followers."

"Thank you for your compliment. I specially trained my people in skills I believe they have talent in. I had specially sent him because I knew he was good at persuading."

"Its master is also very smart and beautiful."

"Thank you again. Although, I have gotten quite tired of the same compliments. Let's get to business."

"Alright."

"My Wuying Palace would like to have your alliance. I know that Master Wu likes talents. I want to prove to Master Wu that I can be reliable just as much as I want you to be reliable to me."

"Alright, I'll give you a chance."

"I thank you very much!"

"How would you detoxify the toxins from the Devil Lotus Root?"

"That is very easy. How about I write it down a paper for you to remember?" She brought out paper and pen and wrote down how to detoxify the toxins. After finishing her writing, she gave it to Master Wu.

Master Wu's face was surprised and shocked. The girl didn't look much older than 16, yet she was already to solve this. Devil Lotus Root is very poisonous and is very hard to remove. It'll kill the victim very slowly, but painfully. Everyday it travels deeper and deeper into the victim making them feel pain that seems to be increasing 2 times everyday. It was very painful. He wanted to see if she could solve it as he was looking for a way to detoxify the toxins that of it which his best-friend, Cao Qiu, had.

When he looked at the steps, he found that everything was the same as his except that the last method was different from his. He then thought, "So that's why I couldn't cure him even after thoroughly going over my mistakes."

"You are very talented Miss Lin. May I ask, who is your master?"

"Master? I have none. I gain knowledge as I travel the world."

"Then, did someone tell you about how to detoxify the poison from Devil Lotus Root?"

"They didn't tell me how, but they poisoned me with it. That was how I learned to cure it."

Now, I wonder who was it that would poison this young girl.

Unfortunately, Master Wu never could have guessed that it was her personal doctor that put it in her body by accident.

Pan Cai had wanted to test the poison with his own body, but had accidentally put it in her wine instead of his. It was a very laughable moment. She pretended to had contracted the poison although she knew that her body was immune to poisons. Everyday, she stayed with Pan Cai as he researched on how to remove the poison with her big help. It was even better as Xiao Qiang played along with her prank.
