"It's just the beginning, and there are indeed many things to do, but I have handed them over to my subordinates to do."
"Oh, governing a city is not an easy task. The weight on your shoulders will not be light, but I believe you can do it well."
Aunt Yun had a bright smile and her eyes were as gentle as water.
She is a very typical ancient beauty, but her ice-blue hair looks like she came out of an anime, and her figure like a Korean comic auntie makes her very eye-catching.
"Are you free now to accompany Aunt Yun for a walk in the city?" Nangong Ruyun hesitated for a moment, but still made a firm invitation.
Although Zhao Kangping had taken Aunt Yun out for a walk during his stay in Chuanliu City, he had brought someone else with him last time.
Fairy Nangong wanted to spend some time alone with him.
Ever since she knew Ping'er had a Yang-attributed constitution, the Pure Yang Holy Body, she began to fantasize about practicing dual cultivation with him.
Because her problem can only be completely solved through long-term dual cultivation between the two of them.
But she didn't like dual cultivation without emotion, and before that she wanted to cultivate a good relationship with him.
In the past, many male cultivators with yang-type constitutions had approached her and offered to sacrifice themselves for her, but she would only feel disgusted and even kill them.
But what Junior Sister said was right, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to find someone to practice dual cultivation with, it was just that the person was not the right one.
She watched Zhao Kangping grow up since he was a child. Although the two of them became somewhat estranged for a long time afterwards, the relationship between them was not comparable to that of other strangers.
The bond they had built in their early years and the sense of security she felt when being treated by him gave her unnecessary thoughts.
No, that was not an unnecessary thought, she longed for him, both physically and mentally.
After all, she was once the leader of a sect, and it was lonely at the top.
Despite being in a high position, she is actually very lonely. Most people in the sect are in awe of her and have always kept their distance from her.
But she also hopes that someone can talk to her and chat about happy or sad things, so she cherishes everyone who is close to her.
Zhao Kangping didn't agree immediately, which made Auntie feel uneasy. Her eyes dimmed and her voice softened a bit: "If you're busy, let's talk about it when you're free."
Aunt Nangong is a reasonable person, not a willful and capricious young girl. She can understand that her nephew must be very busy as he has just become the city lord.
If he really is too busy, she can wait.
However, Zhao Kangping was not extremely busy. He was just thinking about how to explain to his secretary that he and Aunt Yun were going shopping.
"No, Aunt Yun, there's nothing particularly urgent right now, but I need to talk to Jingrou before I leave."
Although he is the city lord, he cannot do things as he pleases.
Then they quickly went to find Dongfang Jingrou. Zhao Kangping told her that he planned to go out for a walk with Aunt Yun.
"Alas, there are a lot of things going on right now, and you're just leaving like that."
"Most of these are just small matters now, and I believe you can handle them well. If there is really a big matter that you dare not decide, just wait until I come back. I won't stay out for too long."
"You...you attacked me just to find someone to use as you please."
The secretary's cheeks puffed up and she said with a hint of coquettishness.
Nangong Ruyun did not follow Zhao Kangping into the office, so there were only the two of them here at this time.
"Who said that? You are my right-hand man. Doesn't this prove that I can't live without you?" Zhao Kangping picked her up from the chair, sat down in his seat, and put her on his lap.
Dongfang Jingrou was wearing a pink and white long dress today, a style that could really highlight a woman's graceful figure.
Her skirt flowed past her ankles, almost dragging on the ground. This was clearly not the attire a monk would wear outdoors, but rather the casual attire a woman would wear while working at home.
He lifted the hem of the woman's skirt to her legs, revealing a pair of round, smooth legs wrapped in a black stocking.
She struggled, trying to stop his hand, but she was not as strong as him.
The man's devilish claws could no longer be restrained and covered the elastic and soft jade-like flesh on the thigh. The plump and tender flesh was exposed between his fingers, looking particularly sexy.
The secretary felt the real sense of someone's abundant yang energy on her plump peach, and she trembled with fear.
She wanted to struggle in her heart, but her body was limp in his arms and she couldn't even push his hand away.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a good fuck when I get back."
"You wicked thing, I... I have such a miserable life, how could I have fallen into your hands?"
She said words that seemed to express her disgust towards men, but her blurred eyes and blushed face betrayed her.
In fact, she only complained a few times, and as long as it was not too excessive, she would turn a blind eye.
Zhao Kangping gently brushed her delicate cheek with his big hand: "Why are you acting like a little nagging woman? Did I not love you enough last night?"
"Um... stop it, Senior Nangong is still outside, you better behave yourself."
"Anyone who can be serious while holding such a beauty must be abnormal. I am a normal person."
"Okay, okay, go away, go quickly, I still have things to do."
She struggled to get up, pulled his hand out from under her long skirt, and gave him another sidelong glance.
Then she pushed him out.
……
Zhao Kangping and Aunt Yun changed into simple clothes.
Zhao Kangping was dressed like an ordinary citizen, while Nangong Ruyun was dressed like a common woman.
They were on a secret visit to see what was happening in the city.
The two first went to the southern district of the city, which had suffered severe damage due to the unrest caused by the black-clothed divine messenger.
Today, this place has already been restored and rebuilt, but due to the negative impact of the unrest, most of the residents here have moved away.
The departure of these residents caused serious population loss.
It was mentioned before that the population of Chuanliu City is about 8 million, but this number is the number of the last population census in the city.
If we re-count the numbers, I'm afraid the number will drop to more than six million.
The two recent riots caused many casualties, but more people began to question the safety level of Chuanliu City and chose to flee.
This is quite detrimental to the development of a city.
They walked through the deserted streets of the southern part of the city, where it would not be an exaggeration to say that nine out of ten houses were empty.
I walked for a long time but didn't see many people on the street.
In the past, the population density here was the largest among the four districts in Chuanliu City, and it was a gathering place for many middle and lower classes.
There is still a lot of work to be done to restore prosperity here.
"I remember I brought you here many times when you were little."
“Coming here again this time feels like a lifetime ago.”
Although Nangong Ruyun looks young, her heart has been weathered by the vicissitudes of life. She was moved by the scene and sighed like this.
Zhao Kangping said, "When I was a kid?! That was over three hundred years ago, isn't that a lifetime ago? If I were a mortal, it would probably have been over a dozen generations."
Cultivators have long lifespans. An old cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage can live for a thousand years, a great cultivator in the Spirit Transformation stage can live for up to two thousand years, and a great cultivator in the Void Refining stage can live for five thousand years.
After more than three hundred years, he still looks like a young man.
In ancient times, cultivators often spoke of the distinction between immortals and mortals, due to the vast difference in lifespans between them. Some even deliberately divided the two, with cultivators residing in the realm of immortality and mortals in the mundane realm.
However, monks cannot completely break away from the secular world. There are always some social divisions that need to be done by mortals, so cities like Chuanliu City were formed where monks and mortals live together.
Zhao Kangping never thought that monks should be aloof and detached from the mundane world. On the contrary, he used to love traveling around and interacting with all kinds of people.
Sometimes he would dress up as a mortal and travel in the secular world.
I visited many places in the beginning in search of my master.
Although he failed to find her, he gained a lot of experience.
"Things are so unpredictable. Coming here again now doesn't have the same feeling as before." Nangong Ruyun felt a little sad.
Zhao Kangping did not comment on this.
They left the southern part of the city and arrived at the eastern part, which looked dilapidated after being ravaged by the tumorous monster.
Many houses were damaged and the casualties were very heavy.
"The security level in Chuanliu City is truly disappointing. It has been repeatedly breached by powerful enemies, causing significant losses."
"This situation must change, otherwise the Ziyang Holy Land will become a laughing stock among other sects."
Zhao Kangping wanted to build this city, but everything is difficult at the beginning.
He didn't really have any idea, but he wouldn't just blindly do things. If he wasn't good at something, he could just delegate it to someone who was.
As a city lord, you don't need to do everything yourself, otherwise why would you have so many subordinates?
"There are many wealthy families in the East City District. They must be big families." Aunt Yun rarely came to the East City District before.
A big reason for this is the high level of consumption among residents here, which has resulted in prices in the eastern district being generally higher than in the other three districts.
The same food costs about two to three times as much in the east city as in the south city.
"This is where many of the Holy Land's vassal families are located, such as the five major families of the past. However, these five families have also suffered heavy losses. The Shen family was directly wiped out, and the Wang family was split in two."
"It's estimated that they may not be able to recover to their peak state in the next two to three hundred years."
"My senior sister and I plan to completely suppress the aristocratic factions during this period. But there's no rush. The people of the Grand Elder's faction probably won't let us become powerful easily."
Zhao Kangping talked about the factional conflicts in the Holy Land. This was an internal affair of the Holy Land. However, he did not treat Aunt Yun as an outsider, so he did not tell her anything with any ulterior motives.
Mr. Zhao mentioned the internal conflicts within the Holy Land, and Nangong Ruyun also felt this. She said, "Our Xianyun Sect also had internal conflicts in the past. The Sect Master before me had a daughter who was called the Young Sect Master by everyone."
"She has been acting arrogantly and bullying others because her mother is the sect leader."
"When I first showed my amazing aptitude for cultivation, she started targeting me."
"The former sect leader knew that his daughter was narrow-minded and unfit for important tasks, so he gave up the idea of letting his daughter inherit the position of sect leader and instead trained me to be the next sect leader."
"Unfortunately, the Young Sect Master was too narrow-minded to tolerate me, so she tampered with the Sect Master's will after his death. She took advantage of my absence to appoint herself as the new Sect Master."
"At the time, they concealed the news of the Sect Master's death, only claiming she was seriously ill. I was anxious to see her one last time, but ended up falling into the Young Sect Master's trap."
"I was captured and thrown into the cold prison of Youchi. That was the darkest time in my life."
"But fortunately, I survived. I suffered a lot in the cold prison, but I also had my own opportunities. After my magical power was fully developed, I broke out of the cold prison and defeated that woman. Only then did I take charge of the Xianyun Sect."
Talking about the past, Nangong Ruyun couldn't help but sigh.
She once thought she might die in that damn white hell.
But she is very lucky, this is probably the blessing given to her by God.
When Aunt Yun mentioned the sad past, she frowned and looked worried, which also moved Zhao Kangping.
Zhao Kangping also felt very sorry that he was not by Aunt Yun's side when she was in danger.
Calculating the time, he was still worried about finding his master at that time, but he knew nothing about what happened to Aunt Yun, which made him even more speechless.
Why was I so stubborn and confused back then, insisting on finding the woman who left me?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kangping stretched out his hand, put one hand around Aunt Yun's waist, and put the other hand around her flat belly.
"Ping'er?" The man suddenly hugged her, and she was a little flattered.
But he heard him say, "Aunt Yun, please stay in Chuanliu City from now on. I want to take care of you forever."
He wanted to protect Aunt Yun and didn't want to see her suffer anymore.
Even though his current strength was not as strong as hers, she still had the urge to protect her.
However, to the woman, these words were tantamount to a confession.
Especially when his broad chest pressed against her flawless back, his warm body temperature passed through her clothes and reached her body.
In his arms, she felt warmth and an indescribable comfort.
The pounding heartbeat was also transmitted, and it actually stimulated her own heartbeat.
Nangong Ruyun felt her body getting warmer. Her body, which had been tortured by cold poison for many years, always felt cold uncontrollably.
However, there was always a yang energy emanating from him that made her feel very comfortable.
Just being near her makes her body feel comfortable.
Nangong Ruyun placed her hands, as white as jade and tender as tofu, on the back of the man's hands. Feeling the warmth of his hands, she actually felt reluctant to let go.
"Ping'er, it's too tight. I feel a little uncomfortable." Aunt Qiaomei was not sincere. In fact, she was not uncomfortable, but too comfortable.
