Chapter 1067: Chapter 846, Giving Away Train Tickets Chapter 1067: Chapter 846, Giving Away Train Tickets “Too timid!” Glenda flew back and picked up another book to start reading.
Wu Heng glanced at the time; it was half past four in the afternoon.
He stood up and said, “I'm off to the association. You all have fun.”
The ghosts nodded, and Wu Heng left the study.
He walked downstairs.
Mini greeted him with a smile, “Master.”
“Ah, I'll eat out tonight; don't wait up for me,” Wu Heng casually said.
“Okay,” Mini nodded.
Wu Heng changed his clothes, walked into the courtyard, and vanished using the “Teleportation Technique.”
When he next appeared, he was in the courtyard of the Steward Mansion.
He entered the association through the back door.
He knocked on the door of the Steward's Office.
After receiving a response, Wu Heng walked straight in.
The elf sisters had already started packing, seemingly ready to head home.
“Is the letter finished?” Xi Ligui asked.
“It's finished,” Wu Heng replied, taking out two letters.
One was addressed to the leader of the Hongwen Alliance; the other was for Lilith.
Although he had spoken to her in advance on the radio, the letter was more detailed and was to be sent out as well.
Xi Ligui said, “Shi Yali, take this letter to the front desk, then let's head back for dinner.”
“Okay!” Shi Yali took the letter and left.
When she returned, the three chatted and laughed as they finished their workday.
They then headed back to the Steward Mansion through the back door.
After sitting in the room for a while,
Shi Yali served dinner one dish at a time on the dining table.
Instantaneously, the aroma of the evening meal permeated the entire room.
The three of them sat down at the dining table, and Wu Heng commented with a smile, “Finally, I get to taste Shi Yali's cooking again.”
Shi Yali smiled, “Well, if it weren't for a certain glutton of a sister who's clumsy in the kitchen…”
Xi Ligui gave her a glare, “Who's clumsy, I simply don't like doing this.”
Shi Yali then grabbed a bottle of wine from the side and poured for both, “This is from the Elf Race Chamber of Commerce, let's see how it tastes?”
Xi Ligui didn't object this time.
After pouring some wine, they chatted casually over the meal.
As the sky grew darker, the lighting inside became brighter.
Having drunk some wine, the cheeks of the elf sisters grew rosier.
Wu Heng looked at them, took both their hands, and led them to the window to sit and watch the starry sky.
“The night sky is so beautiful tonight,” Shi Yali observed, gazing upward.
Wu Heng said softly, “Just like you two.”
Both women's cheeks flushed even deeper; Shi Yali looked over with deep affection.
Wu Heng took a sip of his wine, the sweet fruit wine lingered in his mouth. He pulled Shi Yali close, pressed his lips to hers, and shared the wine in her mouth.
Xi Ligui's eyes widened in surprise. Before she could speak, Wu Heng turned to her and continued, transferring the remaining wine into her mouth.
Shi Yali asked, “Are you going back tonight?”
“Not going back,” Wu Heng plainly said.
Xi Ligui spoke up with a bashful tone, “Let's not, I'm a bit scared.”
Shi Yali glanced at Wu Heng, then pulling Xi Ligui, said, “Come on, I have a way.”
Xi Ligui followed her into the room.
Soon after, Xi Ligui's timid and cautious voice came from inside, “Wu Heng, are you still there?”
“I'm coming in!” Wu Heng entered the bedroom, and his pupils slightly constricted.
Inside the room, the elf sisters had changed into their nightgowns and were standing on the floor beside the bed, both with black cloths tied over their heads, covering their eyes.
Xi Ligui whispered, “Wu Heng, are you there? If you're not, I'm taking this off. It's a bit scary.”
“I'm here!” Wu Heng approached.
He took the sisters' hands, one on each side, and sat down on the bed together.
They lay back on the bed.
The next day.
After breakfast, Wu Heng promptly headed to the city hall.
He first met with several newly elected Chamber of Commerce representatives and thoroughly discussed the details of cooperating in selling medicinal tablets.
Armed with previous experience, this time the process was even smoother.
Having explained the rules and important points to the representatives, he immediately signed the agreements. By afternoon, they could start arranging to transport the medicinal tablets from the designated warehouses.
The representatives left with their ticket numbers.
Their faces beamed with joy.
Knock, knock, knock…!
A soft knock on the door was heard.
A dwarf dressed in splendid attire, wearing gold-rimmed monocle glasses, and carrying a briefcase, entered.
“Lord Island Master!”
Wu Heng also showed a smile, “Youssef, take a seat!”
Youssef was the head of the design institute on the island, and the expansion of the island, as well as the construction of some key buildings, were all under the responsibility of the design institute.
At this moment, he appeared much more refined in his attire, exuding an aura of an elite professional.
Youssef sat down on the wooden chair, opened his briefcase, and took out a few design blueprints, “My lord, here are the plans for the entertainment city you instructed us to build. The basic construction is completed, and what follows is the interior decoration.”
The matter of the entertainment city had been mentioned to him by Andre Willow on his return.
At that time, it was said that it would be completed in a few days.
The efficiency was indeed commendable.
Wu Heng said, “I will arrange for Shanaela to come have a look, and when she does, let her discuss the overall decoration with you.”
“Yes, my lord,” Youssef nodded in acknowledgment.
Wu Heng continued to ask, “How is the construction of the Leader Mansion going?”
“It's pretty much finished as well,” Youssef replied.
Wu Heng nodded, “Good, I got it.”
“Then, I won't disturb you any longer, my lord.” Youssef hopped off the chair, bowed again and left the room.
After leaving city hall, Wu Heng, accompanied by skeletons, went to the island's factory, as well as to the entertainment city and Leader Mansion he had just mentioned.
The factory interior was all operated by skeletons, and seeing that there was nothing amiss, he didn't pay too much attention.
This was the good thing about skeletons.
They never slacked off nor did they need the hassle of eating and excretion.
The entertainment city was a large three-story building.
Each level consisted of a spacious open floor.
Given the current world's building capability, spacious open floors were much easier to construct than taller buildings.
As long as there was enough land, it wasn't a problem.
The style of the Leader Mansion was very similar to Wu Heng's own Island Lord's Mansion, after all, it was a place promised to Lilith.
If she settled on the island, it would also be a way to restrain The Holy Court.
After inspecting the various locations, Wu Heng returned to the Island Lord's Mansion.
After dinner.
He went straight upstairs and returned to the study.
Glenda asked, “Who do you plan to hand the entertainment city over to?”
“I think Shanaela would be a good candidate,” Wu Heng replied.
“The Wood Elf? She is indeed suitable for that,” Glenda pondered for a moment and added, “But isn't your lover, the Steward from Black Stone Town, better at this sort of thing? Her Money Cat is doing quite well.”
Wu Heng glanced sideways at the two ghosts watching a movie in the distance, “The kids are here, don't keep bringing up lovers.”
“Don't you think she's more suitable?” Glenda inquired.
Indeed, Slyther was adept at managing the Money Cat.
However, the situation on Gold and Silver Island was different from that in the Yeko Kingdom, as the island hosted a diverse array of races and was visited by elites from all over.
To put it plainly, Slyther didn't have the worldly experience of Shanaela, the Starflower Society leader.
“The entire decoration of the venue will be overseen by Shanaela, while the singing and dancing part can be handed over to Slyther. I promised her a long time ago that she could open a store on the island,” Wu Heng casually mentioned.
“How do you plan to get Slyther here? You can't send her the ticket,” Glenda raised the issue once again.
“Hmm, let me think about it!”
After their conversation.
Glenda returned to her place and started reading a book.
Wu Heng sat in his chair.
He began to ponder how to bring Slyther over.
He had the ticket, but he couldn't send it to her, could he? The time it took to send it would be better spent using the radio to inform her to come directly.
“The ticket is a bit of a white elephant!” muttered Wu Heng.
Obtaining tickets wasn't difficult nowadays.
But it was problematic to send one to every single person.
After pondering for a while and not finding a better solution.
He simply took out the 'tickets' and some Special Items from the Space Ring.
He began sorting them by type; those he didn't need could be given to others for use.
As he was categorizing, his gaze fell upon a Special Item.
Black Stone Town.
The morning's faint light, like delicate threads, pierced through the gaps in the curtains.
Accompanied by several clear bird calls, Steward 'Slyther' slowly opened her eyes.
The straps of her purple nightgown had slipped, revealing a fair collarbone. Just as she sat up, something caught her eye at the side of the pillow–a letter.
Slyther's movements froze, and she instantly became alert.
She knew that the blank envelopes were Wu Heng's way of passing messages; the first time he wrote to her, it had been seen by 'Yuli.'
Since then, the two had been sleeping in separate rooms and hadn't shared a bed again.
But…
Last time, Wu Heng left her a device called a radio to communicate, and they had started using that, so why was he writing letters again?
Leaning against the headboard, she hesitated but still picked up the envelope.
The surface of the envelope was blank. She carefully tore it open and shook it slightly in her hand.
Inside the folded letter, two tickets fell into her palm.
