"Go... go on a shopping date?"
Huo Wu Lu: "..."
Dugu Yan: "..."
Xue Ke: "..."
Upon hearing Yunxiao's words, the three present displayed varied expressions.
For instance, Huo Wu Lu's face was full of helplessness.
Meanwhile, the two women wore bright, amused smiles.
Especially Huo Wu Lu, who was internally grumbling nonstop.
The current predicament that left him so troubled—
Wasn't it all because of his clan leader and brother-in-law's meddling?
Though Huo Wu Lu kept complaining about Yunxiao in his heart,
The matter concerned the future development and construction of Elf City.
After a moment, Huo Wu Lu finally shook his head slightly and spoke.
"Clan Leader, thank you for your kindness."
"But after some thought, I don't think it's necessary."
"Clan Leader, if you truly wish me well..."
"Then in the future, please just cause me less trouble!"
Though his words didn't directly mention Dugu Yan and Xue Ke, the implication was clear.
Clearly, Huo Wu Lu was a bit flustered by Yunxiao's antics.
Right now, he could still handle the two women, Dugu Yan and Xue Ke.
But what if, in the future, Yunxiao brought in a few more women...?
Just the thought of it made Huo Wu Lu's scalp tingle.
He was genuinely afraid Yunxiao would stir up more trouble for him!
Hearing Huo Wu Lu's complaint, Yunxiao chuckled lightly.
"Haha, Wu Lu, what kind of talk is that?"
"Our Elf Clan's younger generation is sparse in numbers."
"And right now, you're still single."
"Honestly, even if you don't aim for eight or ten partners..."
"At the very least, you should find a few more, right?"
"Otherwise, your sister Wu You will start nagging me again."
Though there was some exaggeration in his words,
He wasn't lying.
Shui Wu You had indeed brought this matter up with him.
Right now, Yunxiao himself had his arms full with partners.
But Huo Wu Lu remained single.
As an elder sister, Shui Wu You was genuinely worried he wouldn't find a wife.
With the strength of a Titled Douluo and handsome looks,
No bad habits, no vices—
Given Huo Wu Lu's qualities, finding a partner shouldn't be an issue.
But after spending time with him, Yunxiao had realized—
The guy was practically a cultivation maniac and a shut-in.
Take Dugu Yan and Xue Ke, for example.
If Yunxiao hadn't nudged things along, Huo Wu Lu probably wouldn't have even thought about interacting with women.
Sure enough, upon hearing Yunxiao's words,
Huo Wu Lu's lips twitched slightly.
"Hah... haha!"
"Clan Leader, my dear brother-in-law!"
"Then should I... thank the two of you?"
The moment Yunxiao hinted at future meddling, Huo Wu Lu felt exhausted.
Women?
They would only slow down his cultivation progress.
After all, he still wanted to—
Quickly regain his former God King Realm strength.
Then settle the score with the Dragon God.
Seeing Huo Wu Lu's frustration, Yunxiao simply shrugged.
Then, he continued with a smile.
"Alright, alright. We'll talk about the future when it comes."
"Wulu, since you're overseeing the progress of Elf City."
"Then this matter will be left to you."
Although I've already established Elf City now.
It's currently just uniform shell constructions.
If we want it to look appealing or be more comfortable to live in,
We'll still need those workers to handle these details later.
After all, these are delicate tasks.
Upon hearing it concerned Elf City, Huo Wulu's expression turned serious as he nodded.
"Mm, I understand these issues."
"I'll handle them according to the design blueprints you provided later."
Though Huo Wulu was now an elf of the Elf Clan,
As the former Fire Dragon King among the Nine Dragon Kings,
He had retained certain habits.
Such as his fondness for glittering golden objects.
And exquisite, magnificent palace-like residences.
As well as his penchant for collecting various treasures.
These were all inherent racial traits of the True Dragon Race.
While becoming part of the Elf Clan wasn't bad,
It didn't mean one's personality would fundamentally change.
What one was before, they largely remained.
Then, Huo Wulu seemed to recall something.
He slowly turned to observe the merchants in the distance,
Then glanced at Dugu Yan and Xue Ke beside him.
After stroking his chin, Huo Wulu used Spirit Power Transmission to contact Yunxiao.
"Clan Leader, regarding those merchants over there..."
"Should we investigate their backing factions first?"
Though having merchants establish businesses in Elf City
And boosting its economic development was beneficial,
These merchants' supporting family powers
Had motives beyond simple commerce.
Maintaining good relations with the Elf Clan was merely surface-level.
Their underlying intentions remained unknown to all.
Once Elf City was fully established, it might become a mixed bag.
All manner of unsavory elements could emerge later.
For him, Huo Wulu, Yunxiao, and Shui Wu You, it wasn't concerning—
With their Titled Douluo strength,
Presumably no fool would dare provoke them.
But there was still Su Xiaoli who hadn't fully matured yet.
Along with the thousands of new clansmen in the Elf Small World.
Neither group possessed their Titled Douluo-level power.
Hearing this, Yunxiao also observed the distant merchants.
With a slight upturn of his lips, he replied via Spirit Power Transmission:
"Heh, Wulu, there's no need to worry about such matters."
"So long as our strength remains overwhelming, none would dare scheme against our Elf Clan."
"Of course, should any dare test us—"
"Show no mercy when the time comes—kill if needed!"
As Huo Wulu said, these merchants' backing forces harbored ulterior motives.
But so what?
Given their group's power, he refused to believe
Anyone would dare plot against their Elf Clan later.
Should any reckless fools appear, he wouldn't mind making an example of them.
At this moment, hearing Yunxiao's instructions, Huo Wulu nodded subtly.
"Mm, good, I understand."
"I'll handle these minor issues when the time comes."
Take his own fiery temper that refused to back down from a fight—Huo Wulu was thinking the same thing in his heart.
After all, when others came looking for trouble,
how could anyone expect him to speak to them with kindness and patience?
The reason he had asked for Yunxiao's opinion earlier was purely out of respect.
Whether as the leader of the Elf Clan or as his own brother-in-law,
both roles demanded that he show Yunxiao some deference.
Now that he understood Yunxiao's stance toward other factions, Huo Wulu knew exactly how to handle these matters.
