Vast Sea City.
Lin Qian had made the trip for nothing.
It was not that he wanted to go back on his word and run away. With the Asura God watching beside him and his companions following along, every direction was a dead end.
Three years had passed. Under his instructions, the harbor had expanded to more than three times its original size and was still expanding. As it stood, it could accommodate dozens of warships.
On the Douluo Continent of this era, the commodity economy was underdeveloped. Even along the coast, going out to sea still meant subsistence activities such as fishing and salt-making (mainly because nobody would buy anything else).
Vast Sea City lay in western Fasinuo Province, which itself lay in the western Heaven Dou Empire. With the Xiling Mountain Range to its north, the Fasinuo Wasteland in its center, and the Star Luo Empire bordering it to the south, it was a remote, impoverished place with nowhere to run when war came. Its population suffered a net outflow year after year. The entire province had only three cities worth mentioning: its capital, Fasinuo City, Vast Sea City, and Nuoding City.
On the Douluo Continent, Soul Masters reigned supreme. Once they were strong enough, they enjoyed life and could not even be bothered to glance at somewhere with such harsh conditions. Qian Renxue had good reason to oppose granting this territory to Lin Qian so fiercely back then. After all, being sent somewhere like this was no different from exile.
Fortunately, when she saw that her objections were getting nowhere, Qian Renxue gradually quieted down and threw her full support behind her husband's development of the territory. Calling it sponsorship, she transferred Gold Soul Coins to him like flowing water.
How could he refuse his wife's love?
