Naturally, Su Chen was in charge of digging the pond.
Since he was bored, Su Chen deliberately made it more straightforward. He used the Refining Technique to burn a large amount of glass and made a large aquarium with glass. Not only did it contain Daisy, but it also contained the fish that Su Chen caught from the Taiwu Academy.
Daisy reluctantly lived in the aquarium, as if she could not accept the reality of being reduced to a pet.
In order to prevent Daisy from running away, Su Chen called Meow Meow over and said, "You're bored all day long. I'll leave the job of guarding the house to you in the future, especially this mermaid. However, you can't steal from me. If you want to eat the fish in the aquarium, you have to tell me first. You can't catch it yourself, understand?"
As he spoke, Su Chen squatted down and stroked the soft white fur of the Underworld Magical Cat.
"Meow …"
Meow Meow rubbed against Su Chen's palm, indicating that it understood.
In the afternoon, Su Chen had nothing to do, so he went to the castle to meet the Demon Venerable and brought some snacks like oily tofu. The Demon Venerable seemed to be very happy after receiving them. Just as he was about to say something to Su Chen, he suddenly fell asleep.
Su Chen was speechless. He always felt that the Demon Venerable was deliberately playing with him.
However, in order to find out more information about his ancestor, Su Chen would not give up.
On the way back, Su Chen passed by the Socialite Pavilion and found that the brothel's business was much better than before. It was only afternoon, but the brothel was already full.
Su Chen was very curious and directly teleported to Jin Mudan's bedroom. He happened to see Jin Mudan dressing up in front of the mirror.
Her red lips were like fire, and she was enchanting and beautiful. The bright makeup of a courtesan increased her charm by quite a bit.
"Greetings, Master."
Jin Mudan was not surprised at Su Chen's arrival and immediately stood up to greet Su Chen.
Su Chen waved his hand and asked, "Why is your business so popular? Could it be that the breeding period of the demon race has arrived?"
After staying in the Demon City for so long, Su Chen more or less understood some things about the demon race. Many demons still retained the habits of animals. Every year, there would be a specific period of 'breeding Period', during which they would be full of desire.
Although this innate habit would be restrained after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, in such a large city, most of the people were ordinary cultivators and civilians with lower cultivation.
Jin Mudan smiled and said, "It's going to be spring soon, so it does have a certain influence. But the main reason is that Master destroyed the Bear Clan. Now, everyone in the Demon City knows that my Socialite Pavilion is under Master's control. With Master's golden signboard, the Socialite Pavilion's reputation has greatly increased.
Su Chen shook his head helplessly. "Don't you have anything else to do besides opening a brothel?"
Jin Mudan showed a bitter expression and said, "Although I can find another way out, I have so many homeless and pitiful women under me. If I leave, their livelihood will be a problem."
This was also true. Most of the women who could sell their bodies in the brothel did not have cultivation strength. If they were homeless, it would be even more difficult to make a living outside.
However, Su Chen felt that it was still inappropriate to go on like this.
He suddenly remembered that the auction house prepared by Liu Yue was about to start operating, and the follow-up caravan was about to be established. It was time for a large number of people. He might as well arrange for these brothel women. Although the income would be less, it would definitely not be a problem to maintain their livelihood. As Su Chen's business empire continued to expand, the future days would definitely be better and better.
Who would have thought that I, Su Chen, would one day be persuading people to turn over a new leaf.
Su Chen smiled and discussed this matter with Jin Mudan.
Jin Mudan was overjoyed. "If you can really find another way out for my sisters, that would naturally be excellent."
"Then let's talk about it this way. I will send someone to discuss the details with you later."
With that, Su Chen planned to leave.
"Master, won't you stay for a while longer?
Mudan will serve you well … "
Jin Mudan had not finished speaking when Su Chen disappeared like a gust of wind.
Jin Mudan stomped her feet in anger. "Am I that unsightly? He doesn't even want to look at me!"
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these days, Su Chen did not do anything else. He was busy building the ship.
The batch of airships that he had promised Liu Yue had been delayed for a while. If he did not build some more, it would affect the layout of his business empire.
Fortunately, Su Chen had already taken the time to draw up the blueprints. He had also borrowed a few master blacksmiths from the Phoenix Stage. As long as he personally forged one, the rest would be handed over to the other master blacksmiths to replicate according to the blueprints. Su Chen only needed to carve the divine pattern array at the end to take shape.
"Ding! Today's quest: Open the Basic Treasure Map and begin treasure hunting. Success will reward 100,000 skill points."
Su Chen had just finished building the first airship when he heard the system notification.
Finally, a treasure hunting quest appeared. It was not easy.
Su Chen took out the treasure map and opened it. The location of the treasure was immediately displayed.
The location was in the eastern coastal region of the Peacock Continent, in a forest called the Immortal Fox Forest.
Immortal Fox Forest?
Su Chen suddenly remembered. Wasn't this the place that Chu Yanran had told him about?
Su Chen teleported back home. He went to Chu Yanran's bedroom and picked up Chu Yanran who was sleeping on the bed.
"Ah, ah, what are you doing? Disturbing my sleep!"
Su Chen carried her and flew towards the Immortal Fox Forest in the east.
"Didn't you say you were going to bring me to the Immortal Fox Forest? I just happen to have time today."
Chu Yanran lay on Su Chen's back. She was speechless, "If you want to go, you should at least tell me in advance. Besides, it's almost dark. It's not appropriate to go at night."
"What's not appropriate about it?"
"Uh, as long as you're happy."
Chu Yanran knew that she could not argue with Su Chen. She was too lazy to talk nonsense. She pulled herself together and pointed the way for Su Chen.
Su Chen's speed was extremely fast. After two hours, they arrived at the sky above the Immortal Fox Forest.
The Immortal Fox Forest was really unique. The entire forest was shrouded in a strange fog. The trees in the forest were not dense. There were large open spaces, valleys, and rivers. The trees here were also very strange. Not a single tree grew straight. They were all crooked like fried dough twists. At night, they looked like wandering ghosts.
A timid person would not dare to wander around this place at night.
Bang …
Su Chen landed heavily on the ground with Chu Yanran and broke a crooked tree.
"Who is it!
How dare you trespass into the forbidden area of the Fox Clan! "
Before he could even gain a firm foothold, a few foxes with red fur and fox tails approached him with a murderous look on their faces.
Chu Yanran glared at Su Chen. She quickly went forward and said, "Sisters, don't be angry. It's me."
The red-furred foxes saw Chu Yanran and immediately bowed, "So it's Miss Yanran. Although you're the trusted aide of Lord Hu Youyou, you should know the rules of our Immortal Fox Forest. Without permission, you can't bring outsiders in."
"I also don't want to …"
Chu Yanran muttered and said, "Sisters, please make an exception. This is Lord Su Chen, my master."
"Su Chen?"
"This name sounds familiar?"
"He's quite handsome. Forget it. Since they're here, let's take them to see Lord Hu Youyou."
