Cooperation
The conversation about life with Mu Nujiao at the Mu Family had a unique and interesting flavor.
Moreover, Mu Nujiao is easy to appease. The reason she was angry was simply because she, who never competed or fought for anything, had unusually brought Tang Miao to the family. And then...
But with Tang Miao by his side for half a day, how could he possibly have the energy to be angry?
The recovery is real, but it's not instantaneous!
When Tang Miao and his companion came out afterward, everything seemed normal. In fact, it appeared the banquet was still waiting for them.
Although everyone knew what the two had gone to do, no one showed the slightest bit of unease.
During the meal, the head of the Mu Family also invited Tang Miao to join them in mining the Kunlun Mountain.
This was actually the main reason he came here. Now that Little Flame Ji was about to advance, he had long been interested in the Soul Fire in the Kunlun Fire Mountain Range. Now that the other party had brought it up and even mentioned the possibility of sharing the profits, Tang Miao naturally wouldn't refuse.
Furthermore, knowing their difficulties, Tang Miao took on the reconnaissance mission alone. Although his strength was already beyond the current level, his high mental power allowed him to conceal himself without much trouble.
After making the agreement, Tang Miao left.
When Tang Miao left the Mu Family's residence, he encountered Dongfang Hui, who was there.
This young woman showed no remorse for the trouble she had just caused. Instead, she said with a look of disdain, "You're still as shameless as ever!"
"We may be familiar, but if you keep talking nonsense like this, I'll sue you for defamation," Tang Miao said, displeased.
"Hmph~"
Dongfang Hui paused for a moment before continuing, "You're enjoying immense prestige right now. Even the elders of our Dongfang Family treat you with utmost respect."
"Do you regret not groveling before?"
"Why don't you just die!" Although Dongfang Hui was indeed somewhat regretful, this remark still greatly displeased her...
"It's not too late, after all, I don't mind growing a few wildflowers outside for decoration~" Tang Miao said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, while looking at the alluring Dongfang Hui.
Dongfang Hui smiled slightly, then said calmly, "You're dreaming!"
Sure enough... although this woman does have some feelings for me, it's almost impossible for her to become my concubine.
However, given his current reputation, strength, and status, it's not like losing Dongfang Hui would make a difference. Since nothing was destined to happen, he simply "took his leave" and departed.
Dongfang Hui did not try to stop her. In the end, she just couldn't... couldn't bring herself to have anything with Tang Miao anymore.
The biggest hurdle in her heart was finding out that he might have more than just Mu Ningxue!
After all, the reason she left the Dongfang Family in the first place was because of her father...
Although Dongfang Hui is very beautiful, she is a woman with feudalistic ideas.
After leaving the Mu Family, Tang Miao headed back to Moon Snow Town.
Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan naturally couldn't be left out of this trip!
Although Moon Snow Town is still just a clan, it has far more capable people under its command than it used to.
Besides Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, there's also Shao Yu, a normal young and talented magician! And not long ago, Xu Zhaoting from Bo City and his girlfriend Zhang Lulu also joined. There's also Cao Qinqin, who returned after studying with Dean Xiao, and Mu Bai from Mu Zhuoyun's branch, all of whom have joined Moon Snow Town.
They are probably no match for Tang Miao.
However, among so many young people, they are definitely among the best.
Today, Moon Snow Town can be said to be teeming with talented people.
After Tang Miao returned and told Mu Ningxue about it, Mu Ningxue felt somewhat helpless... It wasn't that she was unhappy. She just hadn't expected that all her efforts wouldn't be as significant as the contributions made by Tang Miao, a mere figurehead manager...
Almost everything he did was crucial for Moon Snow Town. After all, the normal operation of a town depends on a large amount of funding.
Although the previous mine had a considerable amount of resources, the Moon Snow Town needed to build and hire mages to stay, so the resources were barely enough to make ends meet.
Of course, it's because they have too few people; otherwise, if they mined enough, they could get even more.
But the problem is we don't have the funds!
As for the expenses here, they are covered by profits from the former mineral veins in Peru. It has to be said that Tang Miao now wishes he could hug and kiss that annoying general from Peru! He is now the biggest backer of Moon Snow Town.
If the mining of this Fire Vein is successful this time, Moon Snow Town will undergo another transformation. With the disaster plaguing large areas to the east, its future is even brighter!
After informing Mu Ningxue, Tang Miao led the way with Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan. After all, there was still no news about the totem, and the two of them were just messing around with girls anyway, so for the girls' safety, it was necessary to bring these two along.
The journey to the Fire Vein was long, involving crossing mountains and valleys; this newly discovered Fire Vein was located far from the city.
The western region is vast and sparsely populated, with high mountains, wide plains, deep forests, and secluded valleys. Finding a rare Fire Vein in such a place is truly not easy. Fortunately, after a long period of exploration by the two great families, they have found a very safe route and established a post station in the Sun Ridge of the Kunlun Mountain specifically to serve this Fire Vein.
The post station was called Wangyang Post Station. For a long time, it was a relatively poor village. With the influx of manpower from the two powerful families, it gradually developed into a small town.
The Mu Family and the Dongfang Family also have some cooperation with the local government. The government naturally hopes that such remote villages can be developed, so that roads, railways and Safe Zone boundaries will be expanded. In addition, the east coast is frequently harassed and attacked by Sea Monster, so the inland and west are receiving more and more attention.
Sun Ridge had already been purchased by the Mu Family. The local government, the Magic Association, and the military were not involved in getting a share of the spoils. Their main focus was on the construction of the Wangyang Post Station. Only by establishing a mature Safe Zone station here could the local government expand their Tianyu City. Therefore, the military and the government were willing to assist the Mu Family and the Dongfang Family.
However, the road here isn't finished yet, but Dongfang Mo, the representative of the Dongfang Family, stated that as long as the Fire Vein can be activated, the Dongfang Family can completely take on the road construction work...
So, in the end, we still need to start mining; otherwise, everything else is out of the question.
