Lowering his eyes, Feng Xiyan fell into a deep thought.

’Since there is no need to generate electricity, that means I can install the street lamps even outside the city.’

’There are no official roads in the Western Border Region. If I let those refugees build roads and install these lamps, it would not only save me time looking for workers, but also give those refugees a way to earn money.’

’Although people are the foundation of an empire, prosperity and strength begin with building roads. Now that I have unified the Central Continent, the next step is strengthening the empire and connecting the cities and towns.’

Thinking about the potential future, Feng Xiyan’s eyes flickered with joy. ’This is simply killing three birds with one stone!’

Bai Hanyun noticed the excitement in Feng Xiyan’s eyes and curiously asked, "Xiyan, what are you thinking about?"

Being asked that, Feng Xiyan came out of his deep thoughts and replied, "Yun’er, I plan to build official roads to connect the entire Central Continent and install street lamps to light up the roads. Do you have a way to obtain the materials?"

Surprise flashed across Bai Hanyun’s eyes when she heard this. However, building roads that could connect the entire Central Continent was a huge project. She would need a lot of money and materials.

After a brief moment of thought, she replied, "Of course. Boss Mu is my supplier for construction materials. If you want, I can help you buy the materials needed to build roads from him."

"However, I need to get the street lamps from Boss Li. It might take some time to deliver them if the quantity is large."

Hearing that she could help him obtain the materials, Feng Xiyan quickly replied, "I’m not in a hurry. Waiting a few days is not a problem."

Getting his answer, Bai Hanyun said, "Then I will help you contact them tomorrow."

After saying that, she suddenly recalled that she only had a few million left in her account and added, "But before that, I need to hurry up and open my antique store. Otherwise, I won’t have enough funds to help you develop the empire."

"I don’t understand this world’s laws and rules, so I will listen to you," Feng Xiyan said.

Giving him an OK sign, Bai Hanyun replied, "No problem. I will help you get the materials as soon as possible."

"Alright."

While they were talking, they finally reached the house.

The moment Bai Hanyun opened the main door, the lights automatically turned on. She turned to Feng Wu and said, "Feng Wu, your room is the same one you used last time."

"Yes, Fairy Bai."

Seeing that he was still standing there, Feng Xiyan said, "Feng Wu, you can go and rest early."

Clasping his fists, Feng Wu responded, "Yes, Master."

After Feng Wu returned to his room on the first floor, Feng Xiyan looked at Bai Hanyun and asked, "Yun’er, where is my room?"

Bai Hanyun replied, "There is a guest room on the second floor. You can use that one."

Although the two of them had slept together before, they still had not married after all. Since there was another room available for him, Feng Xiyan would not sleep in the same room as Bai Hanyun.

That was the way he respected her in the Ancient World, and it was also how he chose to behave in the Modern World.

Nodding at her, Feng Xiyan said, "Alright."

The two of them then went upstairs.

Pointing at the guest room across from the small living room, Bai Hanyun said, "That’s the guest room. The towels and toiletries are in the cabinet inside the washroom. You can use them freely."

"Got it."

Bai Hanyun was tired after a whole day of activities and yawned.

Seeing this, Feng Xiyan leaned down to kiss her forehead and gently said, "You should rest early. Good night, Yun’er."

She was truly exhausted, so Bai Hanyun nodded and replied, "Good night, Xiyan."

After kissing his cheek, she opened her bedroom door and went inside.

Feng Xiyan stood outside for a few seconds longer before finally turning around and heading to the guest room.

After taking a bath, the moment Bai Hanyun’s head touched the pillow, she fell asleep instantly.

The next day, Bai Hanyun only woke up after the sunlight shone into the bedroom and fell across her face. Stirring slightly in her sleep, her eyelashes trembled lightly.

A few seconds later, she yawned and stretched her body in satisfaction. After stretching for a moment, she slowly opened her eyes.

Turning to the table clock placed on top of the bedside cabinet, Bai Hanyun saw that it was already a little past nine in the morning.

She yawned again before slowly getting out of bed. With her eyes still closed, she walked toward the bathroom like a wandering ghost. Soon, the sound of running water came from inside.

Twenty minutes later, Bai Hanyun came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. Using a cotton towel, she casually dried her hair before grabbing her phone and going downstairs.

When she came downstairs, Feng Xiyan looked at her and smilingly said, "Good morning, Yun’er. How did you sleep last night?"

"Good morning, Xiyan. I slept very well last night," Bai Hanyun answered before looking at the food on the dining table and asking, "Where are the others?"

Feng Xiyan placed a plate of steamed buns on the table and replied, "Brother Hua and the others said that they were going out for a while."

Bai Hanyun took a seat and asked further, "Oh. What about Feng Wu?"

Feng Xiyan sat beside her, poured her a cup of soy milk, and explained, "I sent Feng Wu out together with Brother Hua and the others. Since we are already here, it’s better for him to look around and learn more about this world."

Hearing this, Bai Hanyun nodded in understanding. Picking up the glass of soy milk, she took a sip and began eating.

Today was going to be a busy day, so she needed to eat more to replenish her energy.
