I opened a shop on the Astral Train-Chapter 107

Svarog called a robot, and the robot led Yuri and the others to the ice deer ranch.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the ranch.

Inside, two-meter-tall adult ice deer leisurely roamed the fields.

Topaz was curious.

"Doesn't it take at least a month for these ice deer to mature?"

Welt explained.

"That's because Bronya buried a lot of spiritual stones in the ranch. These stones promote the ice deer's growth."

Topaz nodded in understanding.

She knew about spiritual stones—high-level energy sources from the world of cultivation with various uses.

As the group walked into the ranch, they saw Bronya busy with the workers.

Yuri and the others approached just as Bronya and two veterinarians were examining a female ice deer.

Moments later, one of the veterinarians suddenly beamed.

"Great Guardian, it worked! This ice deer is successfully pregnant!"

Bronya let out a sigh of relief. With this, the ice deer ranch was fully revived.

After discussions with Topaz and Jade, Bronya had set the price of the ice deer at 200,000 credit points each.

Only 50 were available in the first batch—all male.

As for the females, Bronya couldn't bear to sell them. They were essential for breeding the next generation.

Bronya noticed the approaching group.

"Yuri, you're here."

She smiled and welcomed them.

Topaz nodded.

"Yep, Bronya. I'm here to pick up the ice deer I reserved."

Bronya reassured her.

"Don't worry, the one you reserved is set aside for you."

She then turned to Yuri and the others.

"I invited you all today to try ice deer meat."

Hearing this, Topaz's mind drifted to the ice deer meat Yuri had cooked before—she still remembered the taste vividly.

"Then I won't be polite. I've been craving it."

Led by Bronya, the group entered a ranch hut.

Inside, a copper stove burned over a round table, filling the space with warmth. Sliced venison was arranged neatly next to it.

Bronya invited everyone to sit.

The six little ones eagerly climbed onto their stools, their eyes locked on the copper stove, drawn in by the delicious aroma.

Klee sniffed excitedly.

"Wow~ It smells amazing, Sister Bronya!"

Bronya smiled, gently rubbing Klee's head.

"This broth was a gift from your sister Xiangling."

Klee's eyes lit up.

"Oh~ Sister Xiangling's food is the best!"

Bronya turned to the group.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

They all sat down, raised their glasses in a toast, and then began cooking the venison.

Since everyone was already familiar, there was no need for formalities.

Topaz picked up a piece of venison with her chopsticks, dipped it into the pot, let it cook for 20 seconds, then took it out.

She coated it in seasoning, took a bite, and sighed in bliss.

"Mmm~ This is the taste! So good!"

Welt, Yuri, and the others ate with satisfaction.

Jing Yuan, having never tasted it before, was curious.

Was this venison really as incredible as they claimed?

He picked up a slice, blanched it in the broth, and placed it in his mouth.

The moment he bit down, his expression changed. The venison was incredibly tender, melting in his mouth without a trace of gaminess.

This was clearly unseasoned meat, purely natural—and absolutely divine.

Now, Jing Yuan understood why Bronya priced it so high.

In fact, 200,000 credits per deer seemed too cheap for something this delicious.

As everyone feasted, their mouths glistening with oil, the conversation flowed.

Jing Yuan turned to Bronya.

"Bronya, how many ice deer are you selling in this first batch?"

"50," Bronya answered. "The rest are being kept for breeding."

Jing Yuan thought for a moment.

"Can I buy 10 of them?"

Bronya immediately agreed. The main reason she had invited Jing Yuan today was to promote the ice deer meat.

"Of course."

Satisfied, Jing Yuan took out his phone and transferred 2 million credits to Bronya on the spot.

Bronya saw the transfer and smiled gratefully.

"Thank you for your support, General Jing Yuan."

Jing Yuan chuckled.

"No need to thank me. This ice deer meat is worth every credit."

The meal continued with cheerful conversation.

Bronya listened as everyone shared their adventures in Penacony and couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.

She had spent the entire time focused on rebuilding Belobog.

Still, her efforts had paid off—the new city district of Belobog was now complete.

Aside from a few residential areas, most of the land had been reclaimed for agriculture.

Meanwhile, in Teyvat, at the Wangshu Funeral Parlor Internet Café building...

Asmodeus returned to her gaming room, looking utterly exhausted.

The planetary renovation had started yesterday and was only just finished.

But the moment Asmodeus stepped into her gaming room, her energy was instantly restored.

She powered on her computer, hopped into her gaming chair, and spun around happily while waiting for the system to boot.

As she twirled, she noticed Nahida looking troubled.

"Nahida, what's with that gloomy face?"

Nahida sighed.

"I'm worried about the relocation of Sumeru."

Asmodeus blinked.

"What's there to worry about? Those who want to leave can leave. Those who want to stay can stay and... you know, wait for their doom."

She stretched lazily.

"Nahida, the duty of a god is to guide. We just point them in the right direction. Whether they follow or not is up to them."

Nahida nodded slowly.

Her time in Liyue, learning from Zhongli, Venti, and Asmodeus, had reshaped her understanding of godhood.

She was no longer as soft-hearted as before, willing to be endlessly manipulated by humans.

"I'm just worried that the people of Sumeru will listen to the lies of the Akademiya," she admitted.

"The Grand Sages have erased my presence for so long. If I show up in Sumeru now, they'll definitely target me."

Asmodeus waved dismissively.

"Oh, that's all? Easy fix. I'll just go with you and hammer a nail in their plans."

Nahida went silent.

Asmodeus's idea of "hammering a nail" was far too literal—her hammer could actually flatten an entire nation.

At that moment, the computer booted up.

Asmodeus opened up Audition and glanced at Nahida.

"I'll send someone with you."

With a casual wave of her hand, Aether appeared in the room, still wearing his milk tea shop uniform.

"Aether, go with Nahida and have a little 'chat' with the Akademiya."

Aether was completely lost.

For the past few weeks, he had been left in Liyue with nothing to do, so he had opened a milk tea shop.

Business was booming.

Now, suddenly, he was being drafted into divine politics?
