Arriving in Spirit City

Wu Tie walked over to Li Ming. Seeing the ten gruesome wounds, he asked with concern, "Brother Li Ming, are you all right?!"

"I'm fine. Although Wang Erniu's attack was terrifying, it wasn't a penetrating blow. It only cut through the fat beneath my skin and didn't injure my muscles or internal organs, so it's just a minor wound!"

Li Ming explained with a smile, dispelling his fifth soul skill and returning his body to normal. His fat condensed, directly sealing the bleeding wounds. Then he hurriedly supported Jiang Xin, who was also covered in blood, and asked worriedly, "Xin'er, are you all right?!"

"I'm fine!" Jiang Xin weakly shook her head.

Because all three of her Spirit Rings boosted speed, her body could not withstand having them all activated. Each time she used them, blood seeped from every pore across her body, leaving her weak for a while.

"Look at you. Wang Erniu had already passed out, so why were you trying to show off?!..."

Heart aching, Li Ming picked Jiang Xin up and carried her toward the carriage, grumbling at her as he walked.

Though Jiang Xin was being scolded, her heart felt warm. She rested her head against Li Ming's chest and smiled.

Wu Tie's face darkened as he turned to look at his brothers.

He never should have come over. He had been fed a mouthful of lovey-dovey nonsense.

Li Fei quickly pulled open the carriage curtain, allowing his father to place his mother inside. He immediately took out some healing medicine from the Storage Space and fed it to Jiang Xin.

"Mom, are you all right?" the two brothers asked worriedly.

"I'm fine! I'll recover after resting for a few days!"

Hearing that, Jiang Xin smiled in relief, gently shook her head, and reached out to stroke the two brothers' heads.

"Brother Li Ming, that wasn't very fair of you! What were those things you and your wife used just now?! They actually blew Wang Erniu into a pile of minced meat. With things like that, why would you even need our Soul Hunter Squad to protect you?!"

When Li Ming emerged from the carriage, Wu Tie stepped forward and handed Wang Ao's Storage Bracelet over to him. After hesitating for a moment, he complained.

"Captain Wu Tie, I won't hide it from you. You saw the power of the Flintlock Rifles and Hand Grenades. Spirit Hall needs these things, and that's the fundamental reason our family is moving to Spirit City," Li Ming said flatly, pretending to sigh.

"Then, Brother Li Ming, can you give us some Flintlock Rifles and Hand Grenades?!" Wu Tie hurriedly asked.

He had witnessed the power of both weapons. In particular, the Hand Grenade Jiang Xin had used was as powerful as a Soul Saint's attack. With such things, their Soul Hunter Squad would have a measure of safety guaranteed while hunting Spirit Beasts.

Li Ming looked troubled. Raising his head, he saw the pleading in Wu Tie's eyes. Gritting his teeth, he sighed. "How about this? Captain Wu Tie, once you deliver us to Spirit City, I'll give you ten Flintlock Rifles and thirty Hand Grenades. There truly can't be any more than that. Spirit Hall needs these items, so until they are made public, I hope Brother Wu Tie will use them sparingly. Otherwise, my family will be in serious trouble!"

"Good, good, good! Brother Li Ming, don't worry. We'll only use them to save our lives at critical moments. We won't use them recklessly!" Wu Tie promised, thumping his chest loudly.

"Then, Captain Wu Tie, can we get moving? If we don't arrive by the agreed time, your weapons will be gone!"

"Good, good! We'll set off immediately!"

Wu Tie nodded repeatedly, then called his brothers over to guard the carriage as they set off toward Spirit City.

"Mom, who did Dad learn that ability to lie without even blinking from? He completely fooled Wu Tie!" Inside the carriage, Li Fei leaned close to Jiang Xin's ear and asked.

"I don't know either. He was already like that when he first met me at school..."

Jiang Xin shook her head. Seemingly recalling the past, her pretty face flushed slightly.

Li Fei helplessly shook his head and sat nearby, listening as Jiang Xin told stories about his father and herself when they were young. Especially when he heard the part about the hero saving the beauty, he seriously suspected it had been a script arranged by Li Ming.

In just half a day, the convoy left the Balak Kingdom and entered the Heaven Dou Empire. Li Ming's family and the Wu Tie Soul Hunter Squad both breathed sighs of relief. Most of the Li Family's information was limited to the vicinity of Ze'an City. Once they entered the Heaven Dou Empire, no one would know them, making things much safer.

Just as Li Ming and Wu Tie had expected, they encountered no robbers during three days of travel through the Heaven Dou Empire. Some bandits even fled from a great distance away after seeing a Soul Emperor in the convoy.

"Captain Wu Tie, thank you for escorting us all this time. This is the reward I promised you!"

At Spirit City's gates, Li Ming took out a purple-gold card and a huge box, tossing them to Wu Tie.

"Brother Li Ming, if you have another good job like this next time, make sure to call me! I, Wu Tie, will definitely give it my all!"

Wu Tie checked the contents and found that both the money and weapons were accounted for. Secretly relieved, he looked at Li Ming and spoke loudly.

"Then farewell, Captain Wu Tie. My wife is still injured, so I need to take her to Spirit Hall for treatment first!!"

"Farewell, Brother Li Ming!"

After parting with Wu Tie and the others, Li Fei's family entered Spirit City.

Spirit City was the largest city on the entire Douluo Continent and the headquarters of Spirit Hall. Ancient Western-style architecture from Li Fei's previous life could be seen everywhere, all built from the finest stone. Many angel statues and emblems were carved into the stone.

The people here differed from those in Ze'an City in every respect. Each was richly dressed and carried an air of nobility. Almost all of them were Soul Masters; not a single ordinary person could be seen.

At a real estate agency in Spirit City, using the token Qian Renxue had given him, Li Ming successfully bought a fairly large villa within the city for nearly ten million Gold Soul Coins. He also bought a huge storefront on Spirit City's commercial street for nearly five million Gold Soul Coins, intending to open a high-end hotel there later.

Without the token, Li Fei's family might not even have been able to buy a house. Spirit City's residents were all people with status, strength, and standing.

"Spirit City truly is Spirit City. Including the future renovations, we've already spent nearly twenty million. If not for the token given by the next Saintess, I imagine the cost would have been even greater."

Inside the villa, the family gathered together as Jiang Xin calculated the money they had left and sighed.

"Then, Xin'er, how much do we have left?!"

"Don't worry! Even after deducting the upcoming renovation costs, we still have ten million Gold Soul Coins left. That's enough for our future lives," Jiang Xin said with a confident smile.

Although her strength was inferior to Li Ming's, her talent for business was beyond anything Li Ming could match even on horseback. Jiang Xin had contributed more than half the credit for the Li Family becoming the richest family in Ze'an City. Of course, Li Ming's business talent was not weak compared to most people either.

Li Fei was left somewhat dumbfounded. All he could say was that the Li Family had accumulated enough money in Ze'an City to withstand the family's expenses for the time being.
