The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard

Wang Xiaoya looked at his demeanor and smiled, thinking to herself that he seemed more like a shrewd merchant than a sect leader.

The plan was devised by representatives from Qingcheng, Shu Royal Mansion, and the Prefectural Government Office, setting forth regulations at the Shu Royal Mansion.

The Prefectural Government Office recruited labor, inviting refugees to participate in various construction projects for the new city.

Currently, disaster victims from various cities are gathering outside the Prefectural Government Office, with numbers exceeding one million.

More refugees are continuously coming toward this place, conveniently solving one of Governor Wu’s worries as the major project begins.

Qingcheng Sect is responsible for security matters, deploying disciples to lead the Mansion Soldiers in maintaining order here.

The Shu Royal Mansion is in charge of design, supervision, finances, and publicity-related tasks.

With a collaborative effort from all three parties, phase one of the project will take half a year.

Each project must be approved by all three parties, with signatures required for proceedings.

Long Fei named the new city "Jintang Garden."

The meaning was clear, suggesting that it would be impregnable.

Once built, this city can act as a wedge in the northwest of Shu State.

Even if a demon calamity breaks out and demons arrive.

With this wedge in place, should the Demon Clan attempt to enter Shu State from the rear, they must first remove this wedge.

For Shu State, from both a safety and economic perspective, this is a fantastic opportunity.

Although Governor Wu Youren hasn’t yet profited from this project, it will quickly bring him considerable political achievements.

These achievements are now far more important to him than making money.

Therefore, he is greatly supporting the project and even reported it to the Imperial Court, mentioning Long Fei for the first time in official memorials.

In Chang’an City, Empress Wu received the report from Shu State and, rather than being concerned about the demon calamity, inquired about the movements of Shu State’s vassal army.

Maid Su Wan’er informed her, "The vassal army’s power is currently held by Governor Wu, with the Shu King voluntarily relinquishing it and usually doesn’t associate with them. Now, the Shu King is creating a ’Jintang Garden’ with this cultivator Long Fei, claiming to build houses for sale."

Empress Wu considered, "Is this Long Fei the one reported by Jiangyang City’s City Lord a couple of days ago? The cultivator who helped fend off demon soldiers in Jiangyang City?"

Su Wan’er replied, "Empress Wu, you have a good memory; indeed, it is him. He was using the alias Nameless Daoist in Jiangyang City, later confirmed by the Eagle Eye Guards to be the current Long Fei."

"Interesting!"

Empress Wu rarely smiled, raising her brows as she asked, "How did he end up involved with the Shu King?"

Su Wan’er responded, "Governor Wu reported in a memorial about a bet between Qingcheng and the Shu King regarding martial matters. Mount Shu Sect lost, and the Shu King owed him one trillion Spirit Stones. Not only did he not ask the Shu King for these Spirit Stones, but he invested money in the business, proposing a partnership with the Shu King."

Empress Wu nodded, saying, "It seems he’s an individual well-versed in both literature and strategy."

Su Wan’er added, "Indeed, the Mount Shu Elder, Bearded Immortal Li Yuanhua, also in the Mahayana Realm, couldn’t withstand even a single move from him."

Upon hearing the name Li Yuanhua, Empress Wu expressed mild displeasure, "Is this the Li Yuanhua from the Imperial Clan?"

Su Wan’er confirmed, "Indeed, it’s him. He has been cultivating under Mount Shu’s White Eyebrow Immortal since early years, maintaining close ties with the Imperial Clan. Within the Imperial Clan, both his rank and cultivation level are currently the highest."

Empress Wu closed her eyes, contemplating briefly before instructing Su Wan’er, "This individual has made enemies with Mount Shu, thus he is our ally. You inform Wu Youren to get close to this guy. Ensure he doesn’t end up on our enemy’s side."

"Noted!"

Su Wan’er nodded.

Empress Wu waved her hand, saying, "Alright, that’s enough for today! Prepare yourself, I must visit the Emperor. His health hasn’t been well lately, and I need to stay by his side frequently."

"Understood!"

Su Wan’er paid respect and immediately left to convey instructions.

The memorial returned to Shu State, the Shu State Governor felt significantly reassured upon seeing the reply.

Currently, as the Demon Clan wreaks havoc on Shu State, it’s time for him to use magical weapons against the demons.

However, due to unstable circumstances, the army cannot be easily mobilized, leaving the Demon Clan unchecked in Shu State.

With Long Fei now appearing, his burden has somewhat been taken off.

Now, the Empress doesn’t care about how many inhabitants in Shu State perish, only concerned about whether the military can remain stable amidst chaos and be utilized by the Empress.

One week later, all preparations were completed.

The groundbreaking ceremony was formally held, attracting reporters even from Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in surrounding major cities.

Long Fei stood before the reporters, announcing the future direction for the small city of Jintang Garden.

He told the reporters, "Previously, we loose cultivators wandered here and there, never having a suitable place for our cultivation.

This place isn’t controlled by sects, and there’s no need to examine qualifications nor worry about killings or looting.

Now, our Jintang Garden focuses on resolving this issue.

Considering the present situation in Shu State, I assume everyone is aware.

The demon calamity is breaking out, sure to escalate significantly and sweep across not only Shu State but also beyond to other major cities.

Our intention with Jintang Garden is to craft a fortress-like residence for everyone before this crisis hits.

This place is backed by Shu State’s main city and beside Qingcheng Mountains. I don’t need to elaborate on its scenic beauty.

My emphasis is on safety, addressing how this city can be as tough as a fortress.

It’s certainly not relying on traditional city defense methods, building several walls thinking it’s secure.

History proves that before the mighty Demon Clan, even the tallest walls can’t withstand two or three charges.

What we rely on are formations and technology. Yes, a Taoist magic technology accessible to ordinary people.

This technological Taoist magic requires no special cultivation level and can be completely mastered by average individuals.

Today here, I’ll showcase this world’s most advanced technology for the first time."

The audience was entirely captivated by his speech, anxiously inquiring, "What exactly is this technology?"

"Daoist Long, please don’t keep us in suspense; show it to us now!"

"Yes, Daoist Long, what is this technology that ordinary people can use?"

"..."

Long Fei smiled at everyone and calmly took out three items from his Storage Ring.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was silent, even Wang Xiaoya was somewhat surprised, looking at the first massive object and could hardly close her mouth in astonishment.

The cultivators present, as if they had seen demons, instinctively retreated two steps.

This, this thing looked bizarre, entirely forged from Vajra, radiating an explosive sense of power and instilling awe. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The Shu King swallowed his saliva, unable to resist rubbing his hands together, secretly thinking he indeed bet right.

This Long Fei is absolutely a treasure vault.

Following him surely means making loads of money!

Governor Wu Youren narrowed his eyes repeatedly, his face displaying a curious expression, his mind flickering with countless thoughts.
