Ziyan turned around and saw his own elegant and charming Demonically Charming Man.
At this moment, he was staring coldly at Ling Feng with displeasure, questioning him.
"Heh heh, this is called catching you off guard," Ling Feng replied with a teasing glint in his eyes, even carrying a hint of provocation as he looked back at Ling Yuxuan.
Ling Yuxuan directly moved a chair to sit close to Ziyan, casually placing his left hand on the back of his Beloved Child's chair.
"Since you're here, you should properly savor the cooking of my future Future Wife."
"Mm, definitely worth a try," Ling Feng said, a playful smile flashing in his eyes.
"Please—" Ling Yuxuan made a gesture inviting him to start.
"Mm!" Ling Feng nodded and picked up his chopsticks to grab a piece of Braised Meat.
"Is it good?" Ling Yuxuan asked casually.
"Mm! Quite good," Ling Feng put down his chopsticks and elegantly lifted his tea cup for a small sip.
Then he continued, "You really have grown up, Xuan!"
"Of course, it's been ten years; how could I not grow up?"
"Mm, you're almost getting married, right?"
Huh? Almost getting married? Ziyan was somewhat stunned.
"This—? It's not yet determined."
"I really like this Braised Meat. Yesterday, I saw that your shop was crowded and chaotic, so This King didn't come. Today, I specifically came to try it myself. Xuan also knows that I never inquire about court matters and don't wish to receive any court salary. I just enjoy traveling around and investing in promising industries. So—"
"So you set your sights on my future Future Wife and these secret braised delicacies?" Ling Yuxuan squinted mockingly.
"This—can be considered, but not entirely! First of all, This King has good connections whether in our Nanchu Kingdom or the other three kingdoms. So if I were to collaborate with you, it should actually be you who would be eager to welcome me," Ling Feng boasted.
"Wait a moment, I understand what my brother means. I believe your strength as the Sixth Prince of Nanchu Kingdom is certainly impressive, but I can't make this decision; it all depends on my future Future Wife's choice," Ling Yuxuan interrupted Ling Feng with a hand gesture.
Then he looked at his Beloved One, while at the same time, Ling Feng was staring intently at Ziyan.
Huh? The Demonically Charming Man actually passed the ball back to himself.
Thus, Ziyan pondered for a moment. Meeting Ling Feng's expectant gaze, he asked, "What kind of collaboration do you have in mind?"
"Naturally, I provide the funds, and you put in the effort," Ling Feng blurted out.
"And what about profit distribution?" Ziyan pressed.
"This? I'll take seventy percent, and you take thirty."
"Tch—" Seventy-thirty? Ling Feng still wants the larger share. That's laughable; this is an industry with no competitors at all and can even be completely monopolized.
So Ziyan scoffed disdainfully at Ling Feng.
"Ziyan, are you not satisfied?" Ling Feng felt a bit embarrassed by her disdainful reaction: it seemed this girl was a tough opponent to deal with!
"Of course I'm not satisfied. Do you think just because you invested, you're something special? This is an industry that no one can replace," Ziyan bluntly stated.
"Then how do you want to divide it?" Now it was Ling Feng's turn to ask.
"Hmph! You're not sincere at all."
"What would count as sincere?" Ling Feng continued to press.
"In my opinion, you can take at most one percent, and I will take ninety percent," Ziyan decided to learn from Jiang Taigong and fish for a better deal.
"What?" Ling Feng was utterly stunned! He stared at Ziyan with an expression of absolute disbelief, as if he were looking at a monster.
This little girl was so ruthless? This was completely unexpected. However, he quickly calmed down; the prospects of this project were absolutely unquestionable. But he had originally only intended to tease this couple, and his real bottom line was a fifty-fifty split.
Yet he never dreamed this girl would propose a ninety-ten split.
So he could only let out a long sigh and reveal his bottom line: "Fifty-fifty?"
"Not doing it!" Ziyan replied decisively, without any hesitation.
"You?" Ling Feng was left dumbfounded.
He shifted his gaze toward Ling Yuxuan, subtly lifting his chin, using his eyes to tell him to manage this overly greedy girl.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yuxuan did not take the bait at all and spread her hands, displaying a helpless expression.
"How outrageous! This King gives you two days to consider. After two days, I will leave, and you will have no more opportunities," Ling Feng declared with an air of arrogance, as if nothing could be done without him.
"Whatever, I still have things to do. As for you—feel free!" Ziyan said indifferently before standing up and leaving the booth, heading downstairs.
Left behind were the completely dumbfounded Ling Feng and the smirking Ling Yuxuan.
After a busy day, Ziyan stood behind the cash register, feeling sore all over. Even when Ling Yuxuan and Ling Feng came down from the second floor and stood in front of her, she was momentarily caught off guard.
As Ling Feng was about to leave, he approached Ziyan again and asked, "Did Miss Zi consider my proposal just now?"
"Uh? Oh! Yes—I’ll take one and you take nine," Ziyan replied, looking firmly at Ling Feng.
"You? Absurd!" Upon hearing this, Ling Feng forcefully swung his wide sleeves and turned to leave.
Ziyan, wanting to tease him, called out loudly to his back as he was about to walk out the door, "Young Master, think it over carefully—one for you and nine for me!"
Ling Feng immediately stopped in his tracks but only for a few seconds before continuing to walk away without looking back.
He seemed quite angry!
Ziyan secretly smiled to herself, thinking: Little did he know that I could find another way without relying solely on him. Hmph—
Ling Yuxuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Little one, you're really ruthless."
"Oh! Why can't I be ruthless? The technology of the project is the core; without it, nothing else matters, no matter how strong. Let him think that this girl has no funding and no connections, as if I'm completely broke!"
Ziyan was indignant, thinking that there was still a treasure trove full of Gold Ingots in the forest. What do I have to be poor about? Connections? Who needs connections when you have money? It's really a foolish thought!
Finally, night fell. After calculating the accounts, the total gross income surprisingly exceeded one hundred taels. After deducting the cost of materials, which was just over ten taels, the net profit was over one hundred silver taels.
At this rate, she could recover all costs incurred from purchasing the shop and supplies in less than a month. And still make a substantial profit!
With such high profits, how could Ling Feng still want to split it fifty-fifty with her? Let him dream!
She recalled those stories she had read in her previous life: many male and female protagonists would sell their various formulas for the sake of so-called livelihood. They were all such fools.
The formula is the foundation. As long as you have a unique formula in hand, you can definitely achieve something great.
Why would she need to beg others to buy formulas? That’s utterly stupid!
Even if it came down to a situation where she had to sell her formula to survive, she would find a way to sell it at a high price.
Thinking of this, Ziyan's mind once again flashed with that bold decision: to establish a Culinary School.
However, before addressing Gender Discrimination, she still needed to focus on improving her Martial Arts skills.
Because a Culinary School couldn't possibly be opened in this small County Town; it needed to be established in a larger city to quickly gain fame and success.
But to go to an outside city in this turbulent and chaotic era, she must at least have the ability to protect herself—she needed skills that would allow her to stand alone.
Ziyan had been indulging in her fantasies for a long time, and the joy she felt was beyond words. In an instant, it felt as if she had experienced a beautiful dream. Yet, it was so real and vivid!
And she was not the only one feeling this way; it was the same for everyone in the Zi Family.
Especially Zhou, Zi Lao Er, and Ziying, who looked at the piles of silver coins in astonishment. None of them had expected that making money could be this easy.
Seeing the incredulous expressions on her family's faces, Ziyan quickly helped them process this sudden surprise.
“Dad, Mom, Sister, don’t be too shocked. This business has just started; it’s only a light drizzle. To be honest with you, I plan to expand this business even further in the future, so you must remain calm and composed. Remember not to disclose our situation to any so-called acquaintances or even relatives from the past. Otherwise, it will lead to constant trouble. You should not have forgotten about Grandpa, Uncle, and Cousin from the day before yesterday; they are not friendly visitors! From now on, keep your distance from those people.”
After hearing Ziyan's advice, the three nodded almost in unison.
Zi Lao Er expressed his feelings deeply: “Yes, what Yan'er said is absolutely right. We will be cautious and prudent from now on; we will listen to everything Yan'er says.”
“Mm-hmm, I will remember what Dad and Sister said.”
Ziying noticed that everyone’s gaze had finally turned to her and made a promise with understanding.
Finally, Zhou let out a long sigh and said slowly, “That’s right! My two daughters are now so sensible. Old Zi, our future life is finally looking hopeful—!”
In the evening, they each returned to their rooms.
As soon as Ziyan saw her bed, she collapsed onto it, making a certain man feel heartbroken!
Once everything outside quieted down, Ling Yuxuan changed into her Black Stealth Outfit, picked up Beloved Child in a princess carry, and swiftly used her lightness skill to leap back to Hot Spring Valley.
He then removed her outer robe and held her close as they both descended into the hot spring, occasionally channeling some of his energy into her body.
They soaked like this until dawn the next day. Ziyan slowly opened her eyes, feeling a bit confused for a moment before realizing how refreshed and relaxed her body felt.
Looking at Ling Yuxuan, who was holding her tightly, Ziyan softly said, "Thank you!"
"There’s no need to be so polite between us; this is what a husband should do," Ling Yuxuan replied, playfully blinking his charming and alluring eyes at the lovely girl.
"Go away, not again!" Ziyan shot him a glare, pouting slightly.
"Hehe!" Even after receiving an eye roll, Ling Yuxuan felt extremely pleased inside.
"It's almost dawn," Ziyan said as she looked up at the sky.
"Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Ling Yuxuan asked, concerned that she might still be tired.
"No, how about you accompany me to practice for a while instead?"
"Alright!"
Ling Yuxuan answered cheerfully and then leaped upward with her. The two of them soared into the air and quickly flew to the Ancient Tree Forest.
