Ye Mo looked at the mere ashes Ren Pingchuan had been turned into and stood there being dazed for a while . That fireball was just meant as a warning, and he was sure that if Ren Pingchuan had wanted to dodge it, it wouldn't have hit .

Pity, he still had some questions to ask him, f . e . where the spirit well was . But now, he couldn't find out the easy way .

Ye Mo searched around the Gourd Cave, and only found some stone rooms and prisons . He didn't find the entrance to the spirit well . What a pity, if those 4 magical crystals were spirit stones, perhaps he could've used them to reach stage 5 .

Perhaps the spirit well wasn't here in the first place . Ye Mo left the Gourd Cave on his flying sword in disappointment . From then on, there would be no more Gourd Cave . As for the spirit well, he would go ask Feng Wu . Perhaps he was now the only one who knew its whereabouts .

When Ye Mo came back to the entrance to the ancient tomb, he saw that everything had collapsed and that Song Yangzhu was also gone . She had probably left . He suddenly thought of that small fox . If he saw it now, he would be able to capture it easily .

This past couple of days, Ye Mo had gone through too much .

He wondered how Qingxue and co . were . Thinking about them, Ye Mo no longer had the mood to stay and shot into the clouds on his sword .

… . .

Although he hadn't left Flowing Snake for long, when Ye Mo came back, he felt the change . There were construction teams everywhere, Xiao Huo was bringing people around on patrol . There were no longer those forced businesses on the streets .

Ye Mo nodded . This was the Flowing Snake he wanted to see . When the land truly became his, perhaps he could build a city .

Ye Mo knew that it was impossible to cultivate to the point where he could ascend to the immortal realm here . Since that was the case, he might as well find a place to live with his loved ones for the rest of his life .

He didn't know if Qingxue came back already, but Ye Mo felt very uneasy . He felt guilty towards her . He knew that Qingxue had wanted to properly consummate their marriage, yet he went and had -that- with someone irrelevant .

Ning Qingxue sat in her office, looking at the plans for construction, when she suddenly stood up . She had the feeling that Ye Mo had returned, a feeling that was inexplicable .

"Yifei, I'm going out for a bit . " Ning Qingxue went downstairs and onto the streets .

Ye Mo suddenly stopped as he saw Ning Qingxue run towards him from afar and suddenly felt a lot more peaceful . This was his family .

"Ye Mo!" Ning Qingxue saw that her feeling was right . Ye Mo was really back! She excitedly ran into Ye Mo's arms .

Ye Mo hugged Ning Qingxue and saw the merchants around him laugh . Ning Qingxue, who had always been very reserved, ran into his arms in the middle of the street . She must have really missed him a lot .

"You're back . " Ning Qingxue woke up from her reverie as she realized they were in the middle of the street and struggled out of Ye Mo's embrace . Her tone was very soft .

"I'm back . " Ye Mo grabbed her hand and felt at ease . This was what he wanted .

"Brother Ye is back!" Xiao Huo was like a trumpet and immediately ran over with the patrol team .

Ye Mo and Ning Qingxue didn't have any time for intimacy after that . Xu Yuehua, Yu Miaodan, Zang Jiayan, Xu Ping, Er Hu and Ye Ling all came over . Ye Mo felt warm, this was his home . He had decided that no matter what happened, he wouldn't let anyone come to Flowing Snake to hurt those around him .

. . .

Half an hour later, Ye Mo and all the management level staff of Flowing Snake sat in a huge meeting room .

Yu Miaodan stood up first and said, "I'll talk about the situation of the company first . Luo Yue Pharmaceutics has very little variety in products, and the prices can't attract those with lower economic capabilities, which isn't good for the market . The majority of the market are in fact those middle-class citizens, so I suggest we expand into the lower price ranges of the market . "

Ye Mo nodded and replied, "Sister Yu is right, but right now our products are being supplied worldwide with high demand and low supply . When the beauty pill slows down in sales, we will push out the beauty medicine . Right now, we need more capital, and we're lacking producing power, so we can't excavate the lower end of the market yet . Also, how go the negotiations with Lu Se and Vietnam?"

That was what Ye Mo cared about the most .

"Things are still in the negotiation phase, but the two countries seem interested in our products, and they aren't planning on passing on them," Xu Yuehua said .

"No rush, if they don't agree, I will think of ways to make them agree," Ye Mo sneered . Although his territory officially belonged to the two countries, if he hadn't built Luo Yue here, this land would still be a dumping site . Now that their company was doing well, they all wanted a share .

Yu Miaodan intervened, "If we build a city here, we have to take into account the land near Gui Lin which belongs to China . Should we start negotiations with them? Also, the Chinese military has sent people to negotiate with us wanting to sell the health pill together with us . Though due to issues concerning the pricing, we haven't reached a consensus yet . "

"No need, we're in no rush for that piece of land . They can give us that wilderness at a later time . " Ye Mo waved his hand and smiled . Then he turned to Zang Jiayan, ordering, "Build two more factories for me . They need to be larger than the ones before and built in the same style as the beauty and health pill factories . "

Ye Mo needed large amounts of money, and his factories were like money printing machines . Ye Mo still felt like that was too slow, though .

"Er Hu, did a young man called Zhang Hua arrive here?" Ye Mo thought of that young man who was capable of making medicine . Perhaps he would be of good help .

"Master, he has come . He's in the Herbal Research Facility . He likes the environment here; should I call him over?" Er Hu said .

"No need, try to help him when needed, he has good talent . It's even higher than yours . Our two new factories will be depending on you two . " Ye Mo was very happy with Zhang Hua .

"Brother, there's me too . I have great expertise in herbs-" Ye Ling noticed how Ye Mo didn't praise her and was unsatisfied .

Ning Qingxue smiled and pulled Ye Ling towards her, "Your brother is definitely praising you in his heart . "

The meeting went on for two hours and Ye Mo thoroughly understood Flowing Snake's progress by the end of it . He didn't point fingers at people that much . He only needed to point out a general direction, and they could do the rest .

After the meeting, Ye Mo made Xu Yuehua and Xu Ping stay behind . Ning Qingxue didn't leave as in everyone's eyes, when Ye Mo was not around, she was the owner of Flowing Snake .

"Sister Yuehua, do you have something to say to me?" He noticed that she wanted to say something but didn't .

Xu Yuehua nodded and said, "After we had a negotiation with Lu Se, Lu Se increased the number of their military near Flowing Snake . I suspect they could launch an attack at any time . I'm very worried about this . If their military comes, then no matter how prosperous Flowing Snake is, it would all be for nothing . Not to mention, it's completely legal for their military to come, since 80% of our land is actually theirs . "

Ye Mo frowned . This was indeed a problem . If he had any better alternative elsewhere, he wouldn't want to stay here either .

Xu Ping nodded, "She's right, hence I've started secretly gathering troops . "

Xu Yuehua continued, "Although Brother Xu had started gathering troops, we have no weapons nor heavy armaments . "

Ye Mo didn't worry about weapons . The gangs in America he knew were perfect for that, and even if he couldn't get weapons from them, he could always go to the US Military's vault for some . He would need to increase the space in his storage ring first, though .

Suddenly the phone rang, and Xu Yuehua spoke a few words before her expression changed rapidly .

"What is it?" Ye Mo asked . He had heard some of the call but not all of it .
