Not to mention those young men, even the delicate girls in the team, who looked like they would melt, didn't even breathe heavily. I don't know why the villagers always say city people are delicate; this group is stronger than me!
"Haven't you heard of a Fashi?" Jiang Shaoxu asked. She was very annoyed. What was wrong with her? Why did even such a pure-hearted big boy only have Mu Ningxue in his eyes?
But she couldn't show too much, for fear that Lin Chen would really get angry if he saw it.
At this moment, Jiang Shaoxu was extremely conflicted. She really wanted to release her charm!
"Fashi, of course, I've heard of them. A few years ago, someone from our big village got into a magic high school. That was amazing! There were lanterns and colorful decorations, and they even married off the most beautiful orchid we all thought was the prettiest. My uncle also said that if you become a Fashi, you can basically marry any girl in town you set your eyes on!" Liu Meng said, beaming with excitement, clearly admiring Fashi very much.
Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly surprised. As Fashi, they were almost always surrounded by Fashi, making it difficult for them to understand the hardships of ordinary people.
In fact, Liu Meng's life was the norm. This World was originally a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Only by awakening magic could one completely change their destiny.
Lin Chen looked deeply at Liu Meng, and sighed softly. Since parting with Jiang Tianyuan, many messages had come from Jiang Tianyuan's side.
Among Wei Fang's trusted people, one-third had already awakened a Spirit. Wei Fashi (Law Enforcer) with magic talent, no matter what kind of Spirit they awakened, all possessed Soul Power.
In addition to this, ordinary people who hadn't awakened magic also awakened Soul Power, which meant that ordinary people would also have more opportunities to stand out in the future. Even if their talent was poor, as long as they awakened a Spirit, they would have a chance to awaken magic.
Soul Power could be improved. Lin Chen not only gave the Spirit information to Jiang Tianyuan but also gave him the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
The sea breeze blew gently. Looking at the boundless ocean, Lin Chen took a deep breath.
"Is that orchid you mentioned as beautiful as me?" Jiang Shaoxu asked with a smile, without making any seductive expressions. Lin Chen knew she had restrained herself a lot, and Lin Chen also sensed Jiang Shaoxu's strong will.
Lin Chen smiled slightly, and walked quickly forward, holding Mu Ningxue.
Seeing this, Jiang Shaoxu ignored the stammering Liu Meng and directly chased after Lin Chen, leaving Liu Meng with a bewildered expression.
...
"Wait for me…" Lin Chen's pace was a bit fast, and Jiang Shaoxu had to chase and shout.
Lin Chen didn't look back and continued to walk quickly. Jiang Shaoxu just needed to be disciplined. If Lin Chen didn't mess with her methods, his harem would not be peaceful in the future.
However, what Lin Chen didn't expect was that Mu Ningxue, ignoring Lin Chen, slowly stopped.
"Xue'er is still the best!!!" Jiang Shaoxu caught up and snorted coldly.
Seeing that Lin Chen still ignored her, Jiang Shaoxu wasn't annoyed. She hooked Mu Ningxue's slender arm and strode forward!
...
Seven or eight li (about 2.5-3 miles) would actually take some time to walk. Liu Meng had no idea that this group of people were all powerful Fashi. Even their ordinary steps contained hidden magic of different attributes, so their pace was particularly fast.
Fortunately, the road was difficult to walk, and Liu Meng was needed to lead the way, otherwise Liu Meng would have been left far behind.
After walking for most of the day, they finally saw the bay the old fisherman had mentioned.
This bay was quite beautiful, but due to planning issues, there were many overgrown areas.
Deep in the bay, there were already many buildings, all high-rises that shot up from the ground, built in the same arc as the bay, perfectly illustrating the sea-view suites that real estate developers often promoted…
These buildings were just built not long ago, and the surroundings appeared a bit chaotic. Occasionally, some construction teams could be seen doing some work, but from the location and the trend of development, they would be hyped up to a very high price in the future!
Due to Lin Chen's heavy investment, Feiniao City had clearly become a second-tier city, its scale far exceeding that of the former Bo City. Not only that, Feiniao City was also catching up with the pace of large cities. It wouldn't be long before it could be compared with first-tier cities like Hangzhou, the Magic Capital, and Ancient Capital.
"That's the larger port you're looking for!" Liu Meng said, pointing to a sea river that extended from the sea into the city.
This Feiniao Port was clearly an important trade hub. Many large-tonnage ships could be seen sailing, and the sea river was also very wide, leading directly to the vast, boundless ocean. Looking further to the other end of the sea river, it seemed to penetrate even deeper inland…
"This sea river is quite large. Logically, this city should also be comparable to a large city, but it looks a bit cramped!" Zhao Manyan said.
As a man of the Zhao family consortium, Zhao Manyan could often see through things related to development and wealth at a glance.
This port was actually perfect. Whether it was the river leading to the inland or this section of the sea river leading to the ocean, they were both essential for sea transport, and magic ships of any level could dock there.
Logically, with such a port, the surrounding one or two hundred li (approx. 36-72 miles) should not be poor. Why did the villages and towns they saw along the way always feel a bit lacking, while the city center of Feiniao City in the distance was quite prosperous?
Lin Chen's lips curved slightly upwards. The Zhao family consortium indeed had a knack for business in the Domain. Even a second-generation like Zhao Manyan could see through the intricacies.
But they would never know how terrifying the disaster would be in the future. When Lin Chen planned the development blueprint for Feiniao City a few years ago, he developed the center of Feiniao City inland, leaving enough coastal defense lines to resist the future sea disaster.
Of course, the land in the coastal areas had naturally already fallen into the hands of the Lin Shi Group, waiting to be developed after the sea disaster ended!
Mo Fan said, "It's probably just a mediocre city government!"
"Impossible. With such a good port, no matter how bad the city government is, it couldn't be as bad as it is now!" Zhao Manyan paused, then pointed towards the inland and continued, "Look at the center of Feiniao City. All the buildings are no worse than those in first-tier cities, which indicates that the city government already had a plan. It's just that I can't understand why the land near the coastline isn't developed. You know, this is the most valuable place in a coastal city. If I had the funds, just for this port, I would invest immediately, and it would be a huge investment. I'd buy the land and specifically build sea-view houses. Whether renting them out or selling them, I could lie flat in three to five years!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, worthy of the Zhao family consortium, directly buying a city!" Zu Jimin said with a face full of sarcasm.
