Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 1242: Chapter 344: Yin Shuang: Don’t Think I Don’t Know What You Did When Skipping the Plot!

Yin Shuang had now returned to her delicate, adorable appearance.

Her silver hair hung all the way down to her heels, and she was cradling a small teapot in both hands. She tilted it to pour some tea into her cherry-like little mouth, eyes closed; when she opened them again, they were especially bright. ”Tastes great! I actually think tea tastes good. Yuchi-ge, what kind of tea is this?”

Yuchi winced in pain. ”This is Cuncha from Cuncha City, so take it easy. I only have a pinch of it. And little girls shouldn’t drink tea, especially not during certain special times; it’ll affect calcium absorption. That way you won’t grow tall, you’ll be calcium-deficient, and you’ll easily get osteoporosis.”

As soon as Yin Shuang heard that, she understood. Then she went glug-glug-glug and downed the entire pot of tea in one go, tea leaves and all. When she saw Yuchi’s trembling hands, she finally felt satisfied. ”Come on, Yuchi-ge, give me a hug. You’ve had it rough during this period too!”

She went pat-pat-pat, running over barefoot to stand in front of Yuchi, then snuggled into Honest Yuchi’s arms like a little kitten.

Honest Yuchi froze for a moment, then couldn’t help but start laughing. ”Welcome back.”

...

Xufu Town...

No, it should be called Jiangnan now. Yuchi stood outside Jiangnan, watching as the city was rapidly being built. He was deeply moved. Although he usually killed people without even blinking, at heart he was actually a very sentimental person. Now, seeing things from his previous life gradually reappear, he felt very warm inside.

”Since so many things from my past life have already been discarded by the world, then now I still have to slowly search for these lost things and bring them back. This is all I can really do.”

There were many Cultivators in the sky ahead of him. These Cultivators had come to help build Jiangnan; they came from the sects that had originally been around Jiangzhou City. After the three major sects were completely uprooted, the other sects were feeling very comfortable.

Although Yuchi skipped over the plotline involving these small sects, the small sects were actually pretty warm-hearted. They directly sent people over to help build Jiangnan. With the Cultivators’ help, even extremely heavy materials were no longer a problem!

Yuchi personally witnessed how a three-section courtyard residence was built from start to finish.

First, one Cultivator used Spiritual Qi to level the ground. Then another Cultivator laid blue stone bricks cut with Spiritual Qi over the ground. After that, a third Cultivator took the neatly cut stone bricks and used them as walls. Various wooden beams were stacked together, and aside from the lack of furniture, the construction of an entire residence didn’t even take half an hour. It was just like the building speed in a construction sim game.

With this support that far surpassed the construction speed of Jiangnan’s first phase, Jiangnan’s current building pace had already reached a shocking level—probably a thousand residences were being completed every day.

In Jiangnan, families all lived together. There were very few isolated three-person nuclear families like in his previous life. Here, the idea was that the whole big family carried things together, multiple generations under one roof. As a result, the smallest residence housed more than twenty people, while the larger ones held fifty or sixty. For families like the Wei Family, about three hundred people all lived in one big compound.

So on average, they could settle housing for at least ten thousand people a day, which meant three hundred thousand in a month; in a year, they could completely sort this out, a speed far exceeding before.

”Yuchi-ge, looks like the Commerce Association has gotten taller too?” Yin Shuang was already about half a meter tall now.

She could no longer be hidden in Yuchi’s arms; she could only sit on Yuchi’s shoulder, hugging his head, looking unbearably cute.

And Yin Shuang had noticed the Commerce Association that was rising straight up from the ground. The Commerce Association had originally been just a regular two- or three-story building, but it was currently being rapidly expanded—not spreading out horizontally, but stretching upward into the sky.

Yuchi nodded. ”Yeah. Back when it was still the Xufu Town United Commerce Association, it handled mainly clothing production. But now it has to handle the turnover of all kinds of businesses, which instantly pushed the workload of the Commerce Association up dozens of times. The original place is completely inadequate now. In the end, the Commerce Association will probably be about a hundred floors tall; only then can it handle Jiangnan’s daily affairs cleanly and efficiently.”

Yin Shuang was utterly shocked. ”A hundred floors!? Wouldn’t your legs break from climbing the stairs every day?!”

Yuchi: ”There’ll be elevators... no, here they should be called Spiritual Ladders?”

He had already told the builders that besides the stairs, every floor should reserve a shaft for an elevator. Later he would just have the Celestial Craft Workshop handle it; as long as he paid them, the Celestial Craft Workshop could probably make an elevator.

It just wouldn’t run on electricity, but on Spiritual Qi instead.

Though calling it a Spiritual Ladder sounded a bit weird. Spiritual Vehicle drifting?

Anyway, this was a last-resort solution—putting horizontal space into vertical form. This was the sort of thing urbanization forced you to do.

Otherwise, if they laid the Commerce Association out flat, the footprint would be way too exaggerated. Even though land was free and the Third Province wasn’t lacking in it, walking would be a huge hassle.

Yin Shuang let out a wow of amazement. ”Then the Commerce Association will become Jiangnan’s landmark in the future!”
