Chrysanthemum pig said in a deep voice: "You really don't want me as your partner?"
Ji Dong looked at it calmly and said: "I only hope that you can give Qianshu freedom. At the same time, I also hope that you understand that we don't need to rely on you for anything, nor do we plan to get any benefits from you."
Chrysanthemum pig suddenly stood up and jumped off Ji Dong's bed: "I will give you an answer." Then it walked away with a gloomy face.
Looking at the door, Ji Dong's eyes revealed a thoughtful light. He had long seen that there was a problem between Yao Qianshu and the chrysanthemum pig. For this matter, he was the most suitable person to come forward and solve it. Of course, he also knew that the chrysanthemum pig's nature was good, but it was too self-centered. Because it was a Holy Beast, everyone spoiled it, and it had developed a supercilious and self-centered habit. He called the chrysanthemum pig to say these words, not only for Yao Qianshu, but also for the chrysanthemum pig itself.
Closing the door, Ji Dong sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated the magic power in his body. His soul and magic power intertwined, and he quickly entered a meditative state.
After his magic power broke through to the seventh crown, his own soul power and magic power had been perfectly fused together, especially the mutual conversion of the ultimate dual fire. Although his cultivation speed was not as fast as before, it was very solid. Every time he cultivated, he could improve a little. Ji Dong knew that his cultivation had entered a stable period, and he had to gradually improve it step by step. After the matter of the Foolish Rich Merchant Guild and the problem of everyone's mounts was solved, he had already thought about it. It was time to lead everyone into seclusion for a period of time. With the help of the Five Elements Cycle Formation, everyone's cultivation would definitely improve faster. As for how to deal with the Five Elements Continent, after leaving the Holy Evil Island this time, Ji Dong already had some ideas.
The next morning, the news spread in West Causeway City that a meteor fell from the sky last night and hit the official road outside the city. Many people felt lucky that the meteor didn't fall inside the city. Of course, the Heavenly Stem Saints and Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't see the "meteor" that hit the ground. After leaving the city, they immediately rode their magic beasts to the sky. Without delay, they went straight to the capital of West Jin Empire, Gold City.
After flying for a few days, they finally arrived at Gold City. Without any delay, Zhou Xiaoxiao brought everyone to the headquarters of the Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce.
Those who had never been to Jin City would not understand how powerful the Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce was, nor would they understand how much the West Jin Empire depended on the Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce. Although Jin City was not as big as Zhongyuan City, as the capital, it was one-third the size of Zhongyuan City. After entering the city, Zhou Xiaoxiao's words stunned everyone.
"Do you see the square in front? That's the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Palace is located in the center of Jin City. The Western side of Jin City belongs to our Foolish Rich Merchant Guild. That's why we're also called Foolish Bancheng. "
Everyone saw the palace. There was no doubt that it was a stretch of towering buildings. The problem was that on the west side of the palace, they also saw a huge building complex that was even more undulating. It was only slightly less towering, but it continued all the way to the west. In front of this building complex, there was a huge gate tower that was not inferior to the main gate of the palace at all. On top of it, there were three words stamped in gold: Stupidly Rich.
Stupidly Rich, it was really extraordinarily rich. This was the only thought in everyone's mind at this time. Being able to occupy half of the area of the capital of a country, it showed a lot of problems.
Before Zhou Xiaoxiao arrived at the gate, some people came to greet her. They were all dressed in the golden uniform of the Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce. They came to Zhou Xiaoxiao respectfully. Some of them carried a special box, took out hot towels from it, and handed them to everyone respectfully.
It was absolutely a very comfortable thing to wipe their faces with the hot towels with a faint fragrance. Moreover, these people in the Chamber of Commerce turned a blind eye to the stunning beauties of these women. After receiving the towels, they immediately retreated to the side.
Zhou Xiaoxiao seemed to have changed into another person. She put her hands behind her back and stuck out her big belly. Her fat face was very dignified. She said, "Go and arrange a place for the distinguished guests. Inform the council that I have brought my successor back. The assessment will be held tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Mr. President." After the order was given, someone immediately went to arrange it.
Entering the Foolish Half City of the Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce gave people an even more shocking feeling. Everyone seemed to know Zhou Xiaoxiao. As long as they saw him, they all retreated to the side and bowed. All the shops in Foolish Half City were like this. Their accommodations were quickly arranged. They lived in the center of Foolish Half City, in a row of fine houses. Everyone had their own room. This place didn't look very high, it was just a bungalow. However, after entering, it was a completely different world.
Every fine house was very exquisite. There was a pair of twin girls serving as maids. There were two rooms, one inside and one on the side. The one on the side was specially for the twins. The main room was over a hundred square meters. The decorations were very exquisite. The Heavenly Stem Saints didn't know what was used in these decorations, but it was different from the Foolish Rich Hotel. It didn't look luxurious, but it gave people a feeling of elegance and depth. Every decoration inside was an antique. The inner room was the resting area. The first thing that came into view was a super large bed. This bed was called a Bagbu bed. In other words, the bed needed to be entered first. It was made of solid wood. Just this bed alone was already like a small room. Walking through the window, there were wooden pillars and chairs that looked like pavilions on both sides. Further inside, there were curtains and a large bed. Just this Bagbu bed alone took up half of the space in the inner room.
"Ji Dong, everyone rest first. I will go to the council to arrange the assessment." After saying that, Fatty was about to leave.
With a flash of golden light, Ah Jin stood in front of Zhou Xiaoxiao and said, "Wait a moment. Take these maids away. We don't need anyone to serve us."
Zhou Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, "Isn't it good to have someone to serve us? The maids here have all gone through special training. "
Ah Jin snorted coldly. Beside him, Miao Miao also said, "Fatty, don't lead these men astray. I don't want to hear anything I shouldn't hear at night."
Fatty chuckled and said, "Alright, alright. I'll let them go. What a pity." As he said that, he deliberately swept his gaze across the faces of Ji Dong, Fury, and the others. Ji Dong and Fury didn't mind, but Lang Tianyi and Du Ming's faces turned red. After all, they still didn't have much contact with the outside world, so they naturally felt a little embarrassed by Zhou Xiaoxiao's hint.
The twin maids left in the end, avoiding a lot of awkwardness. Everyone didn't return to their respective rooms to rest. Instead, they gathered in the courtyard in front of the fine house. There was a pavilion in the courtyard, and everyone sat together.
Surprisingly, the chrysanthemum pig didn't stay in Du Xin 'er's arms. Instead, he squatted in the corner with a gloomy expression.
"Ji Dong, do you really want to inherit the position of the chairman of this foolishly rich Chamber of Commerce?" The first to speak was Fury. He was Ji Dong's senior brother and had a considerable say in the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples.
Ji Dong nodded and said, "I've been entrusted with a task, so I'll be loyal to it. Since I've promised Zhou Xiaoxiao, I won't change my mind. Senior brother, you know how important those bottles of wine are to me. If Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't take them out, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for me to find them within ten years. I can't take the risk because I don't want to disappoint the Flaming Bar. "
Fury said, "But you should also know that although this foolishly rich Chamber of Commerce is really rich, there are also complicated relationships within it. If you're not careful, you'll be dragged into it."
Ji Dong smiled indifferently and said, "I've considered this point and discussed it with Fatty. He promised me that as long as I can pass this assessment, I'll be able to have my name in the foolishly rich Chamber of Commerce. As for what will happen in the future, who knows. Senior brother, you should know my decision after nine years."
After listening to Ji Dong's last sentence, Fury couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. His gaze changed, and he looked at Chen Sixuan who was still wearing a veil. He sighed and didn't say anything else.
Yao Qianshu said, "This foolishly rich Chamber of Commerce has a lot of resources and influence in the West Jin Empire. I think it's a good thing that Ji Dong can become the successor of this Chamber of Commerce. It can save us a lot of time."
Tianji smiled and said, "No matter what Master's decision is, I will support it unconditionally. However, there might be some changes in this assessment. Last night, when I looked at the sky, I could see an opportunity in the midst of danger. Although there is danger, there is no bloodshed. I believe this will only be a good thing for the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples."
Tianji's position in the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples had always been superior. Yun Tianji rarely made predictions, but everyone believed what he said. Moreover, among these people, how many would doubt Ji Dong's decision? The only one who could really influence Ji Dong's decision was probably Fury. Even he was convinced by Ji Dong, the others naturally wouldn't say anything.
Miao Miao said, "Ji Dong, if you become the successor of the foolishly rich Chamber of Commerce, will your elders have doubts?"
Ji Dong said, "I will explain to them. Becoming the successor of the Chamber of Commerce doesn't mean that I will do anything for the foolish Chamber of Commerce. Fatty only cares about my reputation."
Fury said, "In that case, everyone should rest early. This matter has been decided, so we should do our best to help Ji Dong pass this assessment. No matter how difficult the assessment of this foolishly rich Chamber of Commerce is, can it be more difficult than Chrysanthemum Pig and Zhou Xiaoxiao working together? " Strong confidence spread from Thunder Emperor, and at the same time, it also touched everyone. Just as he said, in the Radiant Five Elements Continent, there was no problem that could be difficult for them!
"Wait a minute." At this moment, Chrysanthemum Pig, who had been drawing circles in the corner, suddenly jumped up and landed on the table in the pavilion. He looked at Yao Qianshu and said, "The rest of you can leave. Yao Qianshu, you stay. I have something to say to you."
Yao Qianshu was stunned and subconsciously looked at Hyōhime. He happened to see Ji Dong nod at him. Most of the others were puzzled, but only a few people vaguely guessed something. Ji Dong gave Yao Qianshu an encouraging look and led everyone back to their houses.
An hour later, there was a knock on Ji Dong's door.
"Qianshu, come in. The door is not locked."
The door opened, and Yao Qianshu walked in. It was obvious that there was some joy on his face, but also some disappointment.
"Chrysanthemum Pig left?" Ji Dong asked.
Yao Qianshu nodded and said, "It's gone. I don't know why, but I can't feel happy at all, even though I should be happy that I've regained the power of my contract. Even though it's been oppressing me all these years, when it's really gone, it's like I've lost something precious."
Ji Dong stood up and came before Yao Qianshu. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. Actually, Chrysanthemum Pig has a good nature. It's just that it's too self-centered. I hope that the blow this time will make it realize its mistake. "Furthermore, there's another reason why I chased it away like this. You'll understand in the future."
Yao Qianshu said somewhat helplessly, "Ji Dong, I'm obviously older than you, but why do I feel like you're my elder when we're together?"
Ji Dong was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself, "I've lived two lives. In terms of real age, I'm old enough to be your elder."
Ji Dong said, "Since the contract has been dissolved, you should find a magical beast partner that's suitable for you."
Yao Qianshu nodded and said, "Ji Dong, before Chrysanthemum Pig left, it spat something out of its mouth and said that it wouldn't owe me anything. Then, it left. Help me see what this is." As he spoke, he took out a green bead from his storage magic tool and presented it in front of Ji Dong.
It was a green bead without any magical undulations. It was no wonder that Yao Qianshu didn't know what it was. It didn't have any magical undulations at all, and it felt like an ordinary glass bead.
Ji Dong received the bead, and his eyes flickered with silver light. Suddenly, he revealed an obvious expression of astonishment and said, "This thing is incredible. Although I don't know what it is, there's one thing I'm sure of. If you want to truly use it, you'll have to comprehend the mysteries of the Chaotic Wood first. And I don't need to tell you what it is that requires Chaotic Force to be used as a guide, right?"
Yao Qianshu received the bead again, but his expression became gloomy. He said, "Ji Dong, don't you think we've been too kind to Chrysanthemum Pig? He actually left me such a priceless treasure. I …"
Ji Dong smiled and said, "Alright, you don't need to think too much. He'll still come back in the near future. Even if he doesn't come back for us, he'll still have to think about his brothers, but not now."
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao's plump body squeezed in from the outside. The word "squeezed" was used because his huge body was a bit too grand for the door of the abode.
