A few days later, at noon, in the Qun Yu Pavilion,

Li Yan and Ningguang sat opposite each other and played chess.

However, they were not playing Go this time, but a game invented by Ningguang, [Liyue Millennium].

This is a game similar to Monopoly.

The chessboard reproduced the terrain and streets of Liyue Harbor in proportion, with vendors, teahouses, shops, hotels, and sundry shops.

Moreover, the rules are extremely complicated, and the simplest version of the rules sold to the public is also very difficult to understand for ordinary people.

It is just because the chess pieces are extremely exquisite that there is an endless stream of buyers.

There are more people who buy this kind of chess for the chess pieces than real players.

However, for Li Yan, the complicated rules are not a problem at all, which makes Ningguang very happy.

She has not lost a game in this kind of chess so far, and now she has finally met an opponent who makes her feel refreshed.

While playing chess, Ningguang would also tell Li Yan about business matters.

Although Li Yan doesn’t care about these trivial matters, she can’t help but say it.

And she also likes to share her experiences with Li Yan to deepen their understanding of each other.

���A few days ago, I met with the Fatui executive officer [Rich Man] and reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.

Ningguang cannot sell the goods to other merchants in the Kingdom of Winter, and must let the Fatui monopolize it.

As a price, the Fatui will have to pay 30% higher than other agents.

Li Yan listened and nodded slightly, but did not express any opinions.

These are just some unimportant trivial matters, not worth mentioning in the eyes of the demon god-level existence. Just like this [Liyue Millennium], the terrain of Liyue Port is exposed to the world without any secrets. Doesn’t

Ningguang know about this?

Of course she knows, but the seven countries of Teyvat have never had any wars with each other since the emergence of the seven gods.

It’s because the ones who can really make the decision are not mortals like them, but the seven gods of the mortal world.

These terrains are meaningless to the demon gods who can move mountains and fill the sea.

After a moment

“I won.”

After Li Yan placed a chess piece, he smiled at Ningguang and announced his victory.

“”Oh… I lost.”

Ningguang saw that the game was won and lost, so she put down the chess piece in her hand and shook her head with a little emotion.

“You are too good. You can beat me in your first time in Liyue for a thousand years.”

She glanced at the calm and composed Li Yan, and was quite impressed and amazed.

Although she knew that Li Yan was an immortal, she didn’t expect him to be so extraordinary. He learned everything very quickly, and even reached a very high level. Even she, who had never met an opponent, suffered a defeat.

“You are too kind.”

Li Yan shook his head slightly and said,”It’s just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning.”

“Why be so modest.”

Ningguang couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smile when she heard that. She rolled her eyes at him, showing her tenderness.

How could it be considered a trivial skill to defeat her, the strongest chess player?

Sometimes she hoped that Li Yan could be more domineering and proud in front of her.

Although she was a somewhat domineering, proud and confident woman, she also longed for her other half to let her experience the taste of being conquered by a little woman.

Li Yan didn’t say much when he saw this, but just smiled and shook his head.

He could naturally see Ningguang’s little thoughts, but now was not the time.

After the two of them officially got married, he would definitely satisfy Ningguang’s desire.

Then the two did not continue playing chess, but leaned on the railings by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window.

After a warm moment, Li Yan began to talk about business

“I plan to go out and travel.”

He hugged Ningguang’s soft and fragrant jade-like body, buried his head in her silky hair, and said.

His normal strength has now reached the peak of the third level, and he needs to find an opportunity to break through to the fourth level.

He accompanied Ningguang for a few days, thinking and planning, and finally came up with a goal and plan.

“Going out again?”

Ningguang’s body trembled slightly when she heard this, feeling a little surprised and resentful.

Li Yan had just returned not long ago, and he was going out again.

The two were now in their honeymoon period, and he actually left his fiancée alone in Liyue. It can only be said that he is worthy of being a free and easy immortal.

“Don’t worry, I won’t stay outside for too long.”

Li Yan naturally knew Ningguang’s thoughts. He kissed her fair and delicate ears gently and said calmly,”If you miss me, you can use the magic weapon to contact me. I will be there in a moment.”

“……Who would miss you?”

Ningguang’s flawless jade face seemed to be covered with a layer of rouge, like a beautiful jade with a halo, charming and enchanting, and a little shy.

But she was relieved because she found that what Li Yan said made sense.

With Li Yan’s magical power, as long as she called, he could return quickly.

In this way, there was no need to worry about anything.

Li Yan looked at the charming and beautiful Ningguang, smiled slightly, lowered his head and approached her

“Well……”

After a long time, the two slowly separated and looked at each other face to face.

“You go now, remember to come back soon.”

Ningguang looked at Li Yan, and his figure appeared in her mind, and then she chuckled and warned him.

Li Yan nodded slightly and smiled, and said nothing more.

With a flick of his sleeves, his figure disappeared from Ningguang’s eyes like a dream bubble.

Ningguang was a little dazed when she saw this, and felt quite disappointed.

………………

“Where are you going?”

After leaving the Qun Yu Pavilion, a gentle and tender voice came into Li Yanfa’s ears.

“Xumi.”

Li Yan looked at the projection of Nashida that suddenly appeared, and gave the answer directly without hiding anything.

“Xumi?!”

Nashida was stunned when she heard this, and then a hint of surprise appeared on her delicate face.

These days, she watched the interaction and tenderness between Li Yan and Ningguang, which made her feel uneasy.

Although she still discussed knowledge with Li Yan, she seemed a little absent-minded and out of shape.

She was slightly relieved when she saw Li Yan decided to temporarily separate from Ningguang. Now she heard that Li Yan was about to return to her country, and she felt even happier.

“What are you going to do in Xumi?”

After calming down for a while, she asked curiously.

Except for the knowledge at the demon god level, almost all the knowledge in Xumi has been acquired by Li Yan.

Even the god of Xumi, herself, was by his side.

After seeing that he had mastered the advanced elemental science, she planned to share and discuss some demon god-level knowledge with him in a while.

What was Li Yan going to Xumi for at this time?

It couldn’t be that he didn’t forget that he was a scholar of the Order Academy and planned to go to class, right?

Nashida couldn’t help but complain in her heart, obviously she felt a little resentful about Li Yan taking advantage of the loophole.

“Your Majesty will know later.”

Li Yan heard this and a mysterious smile appeared on his handsome face, keeping it a secret.

“Hmm?”

Nashida was curious when she heard this.

But before she could think about it, Li Yan turned into a swift light and headed for the destination.

Seeing this, she could only give up temporarily and wait for Li Yan to reveal the mystery later.

………………

The bark is as tall as a mountain range, and it is strange and spectacular.

This is the sand-proof wall built by the Great Compassion Tree King with his great power to isolate the wind and sand. It is like a high wall.

However, this high wall not only isolates the wind and sand, but also divides the entire Xumi into two areas: rainforest and desert.

Most of the people in the two areas dislike each other and even hate each other.

At the junction of the rainforest and the desert, a market relying on a small oasis is located here.

Kawanyi, people come and go, a little prosperous

“It looks pretty good.”

Nashida looked at the bustling market through Li Yan’s void terminal with a smile on her face.

Although it was not as good as the greatly changed Liyue, it was still pretty good, which made her quite happy and satisfied.

“Thank you, Taoist Taisu.”

After the joy, she looked at Li Yan again and thanked him. (To read the novel, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

Because the main reason why Kawanyi is so prosperous is because of Li Yan.

Li Yan had already ordered that he should use his profits to buy materials and specialties from various countries.

The two regions of Xumi are no exception.

Now in Kawanyi, there are many merchants who are responsible for purchasing various Xumi specialties, and they all rely on Li Yan for their livelihood.

“Just a casual chess move”[]

Li Yan put his hands behind his back, responded casually, and began to wander around Kawan Post.

“I really shouldn’t have had too much hope. It seems that I can only get the high-end stuff by myself.”

Not long after, he bought some rare Xumi specialty minerals, shook his head slightly, and left Kawanyi.

Because there were no high-end items among them, they were of little use to him.

After leaving Kawanyi, he flew to Aru Village in the southwest.

“The desert is so desolate……”

Nashida looked at the barren desert, and her previous joy suddenly disappeared, turning into a sense of shock.

Although she knew that the desert was desolate,���But seeing it with her own eyes still made her deeply worried.

Lack of water, lack of food, lack of education, lack of medical care, the existence of a large number of monsters and bandits…

In such an environment, how difficult would the life of the sand people be?

Li Yan noticed Nashida’s abnormality, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

This time, he planned to continue trying to see if this trip out could make her want to escape from the cage.

Soon, Li Yan’s figure landed in a secluded place outside Aru Village.

Aru Village is the largest settlement in the desert, with rich intelligence and resources.

Located in the mountains, it is a solid fortress and a safe haven for rest in a harsh environment.

Among them live the descendants of the demon king Achmar, who is also the guardian of Aru Village.

Before, Aru Village did not allow outsiders to enter, but after the reforms of the new guardian Candice, there have been some changes.

As long as you abide by the rules of Aru Village, anyone is welcome here

“He is a scholar of the Order Academy… and he also possesses the Eye of God.”

As Li Yan entered Aru Village, he immediately attracted the attention of some villagers, merchants and travelers.

Not only did he have an outstanding appearance and temperament, he also had the Eye of God and the school badge that symbolized his scholar status, as well as a void terminal.

In this barren and desolate Aru Village, he was as rare as a giant panda, attracting people’s attention.

Li Yan didn’t care about it, but began to explore Aru Village, trying to see if he could find something useful.

“……”

Nashida did not speak, but fell silent.

She obviously did not expect that the largest and most prosperous area in the desert would be so barren.

After the incident with Huanalana in the past, her mood, which had been relieved by Lanaluo’s comfort, began to blame herself again.

“Taoist Tai Su, do you really want me to get out of the cage?”

At the same time, she sighed in her heart and guessed some of the purposes of Li Yan’s visit.

That is to let her know more about the truth of Xumi, so that she would stop escaping and get out of the cage.

During the time they were together, she had been tempted by Li Yan to get out of the cage many times.

She also had a lot of hesitations, but she didn’t succeed.

Because she thought she was not a qualified god yet, and Xumi was not bad under the leadership of many sages.

But now it seems that it is obviously just a rainforest, and the desert is another scene.

She felt quite complicated and it was hard to say.

A moment later, on a small stall

“The core of the energy construct… is OK.”

Li Yan bought a strange core device from a businessman, which contained the secret of the Red King technology.

And the Red King technology is related to the power of the abyss.

At his level, there are only a few things in Teyvat that can make him go further.

The power of the abyss is one of them.

And the purpose and plan of his trip are indeed closely related to the abyss.

“”Sir, is there anything I can help you with?”

After Li Yan put away the core device, a gentle and crisp voice sounded behind him.

Li Yan’s expression did not change, because he had already noticed someone coming and knew their identity.

He slowly turned around and looked at the person who spoke behind him.

The person was dressed in cool clothes, with a beautiful face, a tall and graceful figure, long blue hair combed into low ponytails, and honey-colored skin that was quite vibrant.

A pair of amber and azure eyes symbolizing the identity of the descendants of the Red King, it was Candice, the contemporary guardian of Aru Village. The extraordinary Li Yan was not an ordinary person at first glance, and he also bought all kinds of items in Aru Village, and he was generous.

As the guardian of Aru Village, she naturally had to entertain him well.

“Then I’ll trouble Miss Candice.”

Li Yan nodded slightly and chuckled,”It just so happens that I want to buy some materials unique to the desert. Miss Candice, please introduce and introduce them to me.”

He had just scanned the village with his divine sense and found that there were some rare materials he needed in Aru Village.

However, many of these rare materials were not put on sale, but hidden in some warehouses and villagers’ homes.

As he spoke, he told Candice the names of several materials.

Most of these materials can only be obtained in the depths of the desert, so they are relatively rare on the market.

“Are these materials……”

Candice nodded and said,”I do know where to find it, but I can’t sell it because the villagers are asking too much for it.”

“If you are really interested in buying, I can introduce it to you.

She was not surprised why Li Yan knew her. After all, if she could come to Aru Village, she would definitely be well prepared.

“I am naturally interested, and the price is not a problem.”

Li Yan said calmly,”Please lead the way, Miss Candice.”

“”Okay, sir, please follow me.”

Candice smiled and was happy.

Before she made the reform, the closed Aru Village, which had been closed for many years, almost disappeared along with the Red King.

After the reform, the constant flow of caravans and travelers injected new vitality and life into Aru Village.

People like Li Yan who abide by the rules and are generous are even more popular.

Next, Li Yan, led by Candice, went to the homes of various villagers to buy

“Customers want to buy these materials?! Of course!”

Faced with Li Yan’s generosity, the villagers were naturally overjoyed and quickly sold him the materials that had been in stock for a long time.

“This Mr. Li… is really rich.”

Candice, who was taking Li Yan to buy materials, was also quite surprised.

She thought that although Li Yan wanted to buy these rare and expensive materials, he probably couldn’t buy too many.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan was able to buy all the materials in the hands of the villagers she knew.

This money can greatly improve the economy and life in the village, which makes her feel very happy.

“Sir, would you like to take a break and taste the delicacies of our Aru Village?”

Delighted, thinking of the previous hard work, she wanted to take Li Yan to rest for a while.

“Yes.”

Li Yan nodded slightly and did not refuse.

“Okay, please follow me, sir.”

Seeing this, Candice smiled gently and led the way.

“What does your Majesty think of Candice?”

On the way, Li Yan sent a message to Nashida through the void terminal.

“……This descendant of the Red King is indeed a qualified guardian.”

Nashida was silent for a moment and gave her answer.

She had seen everything Candice had done before.

As the guardian of a village, she not only abandoned unnecessary traditions for the sake of the villagers, but also personally entertained guests warmly without any airs.

In this way, she was indeed qualified.

But this also made her feel a little confused. Could it be that she was not even as good as a descendant of a demon god?
