Li Yunxian was always quick to take action.
She immediately checked the housing rental section in the mall, which was where she had previously rented the interview and meeting rooms.
She wanted to make some modifications.
In “Wanwu,” all properties were for rent only, not for sale, but long-term leases were available, and during the rental period, the interior of the house could be remodeled.
So, theoretically, if she rented the entire Yinhai City, she could renovate it all!
Only… Li Yunxian flipped through the options for quite some time but found no choice to rent an entire city.
Li Yunxian: This doesn’t make sense!
For the first time, Li Yunxian opened the customer service interface of the “Wanwu” game system.
“I want to rent an entire city. How do I proceed?” she sent a concise message.
With a large amount of game currency in her account and the reputation she had built in “Wanwu,” her account was already marked for special attention.
Her message was immediately forwarded to the dedicated customer service team.
The “Wanwu” customer service who received Li Yunxian’s message:
This was the most unusual request they had ever received since starting work.
Which player’s reasonable request was to rent an entire city?
Housing rentals in “Wanwu” were not cheap at all, and the resources and finances required to rent a city were enough to make even a big family cringe.
Big families might have money, but with many people come big expenses.
Then the name popped up.
Li Yunxian.
Alright, that’s fine then.
This was truly someone wealthy.
But some things, no matter how much money you have, simply weren’t possible.
“Sorry, currently ‘Wanwu’ does not support this function,” the customer service responded with a standard reply.
Li Yunxian was not surprised by this answer.
Her initial message mainly confirmed whether she could connect to the official “Wanwu” support and whether they would notice her signal coming from a different world.
The answer seemed to be no problem at all.
She then moved on to her actual request: “I believe renting a city is a reasonable need for players. Cities should develop along with player demands, not remain static.”
“Real-world cities undergo renovations and maintenance every year.”
“Since ‘Wanwu’ simulates reality, these features should also be available.”
“Please develop this feature.”
Li Yunxian passionately laid out her argument in detail.
Customer service was stunned by these messages, unsure how to respond.
***
“Wanwu” was essentially a massive Special Secret Realm controlled by the interstellar authorities, naturally with high-level cultivators stationed there to handle emergencies.
Soon, someone noticed the anomaly with this customer service rep, and a voice whispered into their ear.
Transmitting sound privately.
“What’s going on?” the other party asked.
The customer quickly relayed Li Yunxian’s messages.
Upon hearing the name Li Yunxian, the other person couldn’t help but chuckle.
She was a Divine Spirit Stage cultivator living in the interstellar era, also on rotation duty for “Wanwu,” so of course she knew who Li Yunxian was.
Currently, Li Yunxian was the hottest figure in all of “Wanwu.”
Nearly half of the Wanwu cities were playing stories about her.
The remaining smaller cities were slowly being expanded as the Dai Li Shangdian spread—this had happened just in recent months.
The items Li Yunxian brought out were truly novel and useful, with good quality and fair prices.
Many cultivators with lower levels on various Xingqiu relied on these items to survive dangers.
And now…
Li Yunxian wanted to rent and renovate a city?
No matter how you looked at it, it wasn’t a bad thing.
Her reputation.
Li Yunxian’s reputation, built through the spread of videos and voices, had truly left a positive impression on many.
After some thought, she told customer service: “Tell her it’s okay. In three days, Yinhai City will have a new feature available.”
Customer service was stunned. “Three days? Is that enough time?”
“If it’s only Yinhai City, it should be fine,” the other party replied.
Li Yunxian raised an eyebrow when she noticed the reply time between the first and second messages.
Obviously, they had consulted someone.
Three days…
The efficiency of the interstellar world’s operations was much faster than she expected.
Li Yunxian had no objection to the timeline—after all, she still needed to study Yinhai City’s situation and think about how to renovate it.
Defenses against alien races and various dangers were a given, but…
Giving the people of Yinhai City a few ‘surprises’ to repay the fact that as soon as she logged in, advertisements with her name were everywhere…
That was only reasonable!
Li Yunxian rubbed her hands eagerly.

Meanwhile, in reality, Li Tiansuo was pondering the schedule Li Yunxian had given her.
Her student had messaged three days ago, saying she had arrived at the Wenwu Academy.
Li Tiansuo thought about what her student could have done in these three days at Tiantong and felt the time given to Wenwu was enough.
She cleared her throat and called Qi Ke.
Qi Ke felt a bit guilty upon seeing the call.
After all, his group had taken someone’s precious student away.
But then he realized.
Oh, it seemed Li Yunxian went willingly, and Li Tiansuo knew about it.
Qi Ke relaxed and answered.
During her time in Tiantong, Qi Ke had assisted Li Tiansuo for a while, so the two were familiar. Li Tiansuo didn’t waste time and got straight to the point.
“How has Yunxian been these days at Wenwu?”
Hearing this, Qi Ke felt a little emotional. Li Yunxian was indeed his precious student.
Recalling the teacher’s villa he arranged for her, Qi Ke straightened his back a little.
“Very well. Don’t worry, everything has been arranged with the best student treatment. She’s even staying in the villa reserved for you…” Qi Ke rambled on about the special privileges for Li Yunxian.
None of this was what Li Tiansuo cared about.
She waited for Qi Ke to finish, then casually asked, “How is your Sky Ladder situation now? Any special issues?”
Qi Ke didn’t understand why Li Tiansuo suddenly asked about the Sky Ladder but answered honestly, “Everything is normal. No issues.”
Relieved by this answer, Li Tiansuo smiled softly.
She knew she had been overthinking.
But to be safe, she continued, “And your Wenwu teachers, all okay? They haven’t taken on any missions, right?”
The tragic tale of Teaching Assistant Hua Shunyu had become a classic story at Tiantong Academy.
Another strange question—Qi Ke started to ponder the deeper meaning behind Li Tiansuo’s questions but answered straightforwardly.
“Everyone’s fine. Yunxian hasn’t accepted any missions. She’s focused on cultivation.”
Focused cultivation was good, excellent even.
Her student was calm and dedicated—obviously, what happened before was just an accident!
Li Tiansuo’s face blossomed with a big smile.
She was about to say goodbye and hang up, but suddenly remembered something.
“How’s Yunxian doing in Jin City?”
This question wasn’t related to Wenwu, and Qi Ke answered quickly, “Very well. When we left, the Jin City Special Administration Bureau was very happy to see her off.”
Qi Ke recalled hearing Li Yunxian chatting with Pei Dongyuan. “She said they’ve become good friends.”
Qi Ke himself had been a teacher and knew what teachers liked to hear.
After that, Qi Ke skipped over the miserable experience his group had at the Special Administration Bureau and directly described the next meeting scene.
“When in Jin City, Yunxian even renovated her mother’s house, installing many defensive talismans.”
“She’s really a good kid.” Qi Ke grew more emotional the more he recalled it.
Combined with what Yu Anle told him—that Li Yunxian had already helped before they had started scheming with the items—he finally summarized.
Li Tiansuo thought about how she recently felt relaxed and refreshed working in the workshop and nodded in approval.
“Yunxian is the best student I’ve ever taken in!”
Tiansuo completely ignored that the main reason she felt more at ease recently was because she no longer had to assign Li Yunxian homework or monitor the pressure on the blood pool.
After praising Li Yunxian for a while with Qi Ke, when the call ended, Qi Ke reflected on what Li Tiansuo had said.
The more he thought, the more something felt off.
Li Tiansuo initially asked about the Sky Ladder… Qi Ke recalled the pass he gave Li Yunxian.
Wasn’t she basically asking why Li Yunxian hadn’t used it yet?
Then asking about the Wenwu teachers—could that also be about why Li Yunxian hadn’t been studying at Wenwu?
As for the mission question, maybe it was to hint that they had used missions to lure Li Yunxian away, and now that she was confined in the villa cultivating, they felt Wenwu wasn’t taking proper care of her?
The more Qi Ke thought, the more he believed that was the meaning behind Li Tiansuo’s questions.
Qi Ke felt like the sky was falling.
They really had given Li Yunxian the best treatment. This obedient child just wanted to cultivate and hadn’t left the villa!
It wasn’t mistreatment!
Qi Ke, always overthinking, paced around and realized things couldn’t go on like this.
The teacher had called—he had to give an explanation.
But if she wanted to cultivate in the villa on her own, forcibly pulling her out wasn’t right either.
Qi Ke’s gaze shifted to Yu Anle and Pei Dongyuan.
***
The next day, someone knocked on the villa door where Li Yunxian was busy planning her new city.
Surprised, she sensed it was those two and got up to open the door.
“Yunxian, you haven’t gone out for so many days. It’s rare to have you at the academy—surely you don’t want to lock yourself in your room for over a month?!”
Yu Anle said, linking her arm with Li Yunxian’s. “Come on, come on, I’ll take you to try out our academy’s specialty course.”
“Xinxing Class!”
Caught off guard, Li Yunxian blinked in confusion, “Huh?”
Seeing Yu Anle’s enthusiasm, she didn’t refuse.
Then… Li Yunxian listened to a nonstop barrage of ideological output.
How to put it…
For a little kid of a few thousand years old like her, it felt a bit childish.
But for Yu Anle and Pei Dongyuan, two well-cared-for college students who hadn’t experienced much turmoil, it was just right.
Both Yu Anle and Pei Dongyuan noticed Li Yunxian’s disinterest in the course recommendation from her expression, so Pei Dongyuan stepped in.
He recommended to Li Yunxian…
Their Wenwu library!
“Our greatest treasure in Wenwu, besides the Sky Ladder, the Wenwu Tower, the Mingxin Mirror, the Underground Spiritual Vein, the He Tiqi Principal, and all that other stuff… is the library!”
Pei Dongyuan said proudly, puffing out his chest.
After hearing all the ‘besides’ items, Li Yunxian and Yu Anle exchanged looks.
Some people really were born with a knack for being annoying.
