Chapter 229: Chapter 225 Can’t Stop

Ruo Xuan stared at the disappearing figure in the rolling dust, dazed for a moment.

What’s happening with Divine Lord Xuanyuan?

Ordinarily, he’s not seen personally resolving these troubles!

Ruo Xuan tilted her little head and thought, then she understood.

It must be because half of the silver earned by the paper workshop is his; thus, he’s anxious. It certainly couldn’t be that he’s running away on purpose to avoid helping her test new products.

Just as if something happened to her bookstore, she would be just as worried.

As expected, only when there’s silver to be made does Divine Lord Xuanyuan take it to heart; he even took the initiative to deal with the troubles!

In her heart, Ruo Xuan was considering giving half of her rouge workshop to Divine Lord Xuanyuan too.

That way, if any problems arose in the future, she wouldn’t have to resolve them herself or rescue Divine Lord Xuanyuan; he would take care of them on his own initiative.

And Xuanyuan Grandma had said that Wuyou Paper Workshop was already starting to build in the Capital City and several other major cities; the silver made by these paper workshops would later yield her a thirty percent profit.

That meant she just needed to start one paper workshop to earn the silver from countless others. How cool is that!

This was definitely faster than earning silver by starting paper workshops city by city.

After all, she couldn’t teleport now, and with her being so young, it wasn’t possible for her to travel long distances alone. At most, she could start another one in the prefecture’s city, but it was so close that it was hardly necessary!

If she were to start a paper workshop in all the major cities of Xuanyuan Country on her own, when would that even be completed?

Ruo Xuan was quite adept at calculating.

Rather than waiting to expand her paper workshops throughout Xuanyuan Country and even to neighboring countries herself, it was better to let the Imperial Court help start them, so she could just enjoy the fruits of that arrangement!

Ruo Xuan decided to give half of her rouge workshop to Divine Lord Xuanyuan, letting him help her expand the rouge workshops throughout Xuanyuan Country, and then she would take a thirty-percent profit from each of them as well.

Anyway, she surely wouldn’t earn less, and she wouldn’t have to do a thing!

Ruo Xuan wasn’t just good at accounting; she was also adept at generalizing from one example.

Starting a paper workshop was one thing, a rouge workshop was another; so why not also start a weaving workshop, a ceramics workshop, a jewelry store...

She would just start one and share it with Xuanyuan Que. The rest could be opened by Brother Xuanyuan in the various major cities. She wasn’t greedy and was content with earning a little.

Thinking this, Ruo Xuan, afraid of forgetting, hurriedly chased after Xuanyuan Que.

And there were the skincare products she’d specially developed for Divine Lord Xuanyuan; he hadn’t even tried them yet!

"Brother Xuanyuan..." A petite and plump figure chased after him like petals swept by the wind.

Far away, three miles out, Xuanyuan Que’s little body broke out in goosebumps!

That cry didn’t bode well!

He ran even faster!

He wished he could attach a pair of Wind Fire Wheels to his feet.

Eventually, twenty miles out, Xuanyuan Que was still caught up by Ruo Xuan!

There was no helping it. Little Xuanhua was clumsy, and as she ran, she accidentally stumbled and fell, forcing him to grab a couple of leaders as shields and slow down.

The group that had been chased all the way suddenly couldn’t run anymore, collapsing on the ground, gasping desperately, some even frothing at the mouth!

Without even panting, Ruo Xuan caught up to them.

"Brother Xuanyuan, I finally caught up with you!"

Xuanyuan Que thought to himself it wasn’t her catching up; it was him stopping!

He said indifferently, without a hint of expression, "What’s up now that you’ve caught up? I need to interrogate these people to find out who sent them."

He glanced over the people sprawled on the ground. Excellent!

By the time he finished questioning each of them, he reckoned Little Xuanhua would’ve forgotten about her plan to paint on his face.

Xu Hu and Lei Bao, struck by a pebble thrown by Xuanyuan Que and immobilized, stood there, catching their breath like mad while cursing both their fathers and mothers in their hearts.

Mom, they didn’t realize they could run so fast, let alone increasingly so, unable to stop even if they wanted to!

They had long since wanted to stop running!

And who were these two kids? Chasing them for twenty miles with those little short legs and yet not showing the slightest change in expression?

Were they even human?

They hadn’t been running, had they? They must’ve been floating, right?

A group of people panted like dogs!

It felt like their hearts were about to leap out!

They looked at Xuanyuan Que and Ruo Xuan with utter terror.

Ruo Xuan’s eyes lit up, "Right! I’ll join Brother Xuanyuan in the interrogation."

She hadn’t tried interrogating someone before. It seemed like fun!

Xuanyuan Que seemed relieved that he had successfully diverted the attention of a certain flower and faintly nodded, "Mhm."

Ruo Xuan continued, "It’s faster to interrogate with two people. Once we’re done, I have a very important matter to discuss with Brother Xuanyuan."

Xuanyuan Que felt a tightening and then a loosening in his heart, and cautiously asked, "Just discuss?"

Ruo Xuan, puzzled, "Yeah, just talking. What else could there be?"

"Nothing!"

Then Ruo Xuan remembered, "Oh, and to test new products! There’s so much to do, let’s hurry and start the interrogation!"

She didn’t want it to delay her from making silver.

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

Xuanyuan Que felt there was some sense to mortals liking to slap mouths.

Only because at this moment, he also wanted to slap his own mouth.

After speaking, Ruo Xuan walked up to the two leaders who were panting like oxen and dogs.

Both men’s eyes were wide open, gasping for air, their chests heaving violently as they glared at Ruo Xuan: There’s a sun! There are shadows!

Certain from the look in their eyes, they were dealing with a person!

Xuanyuan Que came to Ruo Xuan’s side expressionlessly, ready for everything.

The two leaders: This little brat too, has a shadow, feet touching the ground, definitely a person!

They were relieved!

Once relieved, they wanted to curse!

No, what’s the deal with these two little brats? They had chased them for twenty miles, almost out of breath, and they only threw stones at their pressure points when they could have used their abilities sooner. If you had such skills, couldn’t you have taken action earlier?

They didn’t want to run anymore, feeling they would die if they kept going!

But their legs wouldn’t listen!

They just couldn’t stop!

And they ran faster and faster!

It was downright weird!

Ruo Xuan glared back, hands on her chubby hips, looking fierce yet adorable, "Speak up, who sent you here? If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll make you wish you were dead!"

The two men: Thanks, they already wished they were dead!

It’s not that they didn’t want to speak; they felt so close to death they literally couldn’t get the words out!

Ruo Xuan thought they’d been silenced by Divine Lord Xuanyuan, so she waved her hand and released their pressure points.

With a wave of her hand freeing them, this move scared the two men witless!

Suddenly feeling released, their legs still had momentum, they thought they were about to involuntarily run again!

The two were so frightened they immediately confessed, "It was x....."

"It was..."

Indeed, the two didn’t feel wrong; before their words were even finished, they started running uncontrollably again!

They ran off in the distance in a flash!

Faster than lightning!

Faster than before!

Xu Hu, swift as lightning on his feet: No! I don’t want to run! I want to confess! I have to confess! This way, someone’s going to die, you know?

Lei Bao, fast as the wind: Although I took the name of a leopard, I really can’t run like one!

Oh God! They’ve encountered not ordinary kids, right?

Were these the children of a deity come down to the mortal realm for an internship, and could they take them back home?

Xuanyuan Que coldly said, "Dare to run? I’ll go chase them; you keep an eye on those people on the ground and make sure they don’t escape."

But thinking it over, Xuanyuan Que wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone here, so he added, "Or never mind, it’s not safe for you to be here alone, better go back first!"

After speaking, his figure vanished in an instant!

Ruo Xuan: "..."

No, how can those two still run?

Couldn’t they be the reincarnation of some mighty immortal?

Thinking it over, she worried about Divine Lord Xuanyuan, who seemed born with a grudge against them, and they would not let up in pursuit!

Ruo Xuan decided it was best to follow and see for herself what was happening.

The distant Xuanyuan Que felt a certain flower catching up again: "..."
