Li Yundong seemed utterly unfazed by the overwhelming wave of resentment surrounding him. He smiled genially at the little fox spirits and said, "In a bit, you all will be responsible for cleaning up, packing, and disposing of everything we take down from the shop.

Understood?" The little fox spirits chimed in unison, "Understood!" Li Yundong then happily handed Cao Yi and the others a slip of paper, saying, "You three martial uncles will be in charge of logistics. Head out first and buy three sets of work clothes each, and pick up a few sets of cleaning tools." Cao Yi and the others cheerfully agreed.

Li Yundong then turned toward Su Chan, who was looking at him expectantly, and Ruan Hongling, who was glaring at him fiercely, saying, "I have other arrangements for you two later. Oh, Chan'er, first go get the plastic sheeting we brought and cover all the transparent parts of the shop.

It wouldn't be good if outsiders see what we're doing in here." Li Yundong clapped his hands and announced, "Let's go, everyone to your posts, fulfill your duties!" With that, the little girl cheerfully acknowledged him and turned to fetch the plastic sheeting. Cao Yi and the others exited the shop, heading straight for the mall, while the little fox spirits busied themselves with preliminary tasks inside the store.

"What about me?" Ziyuan asked blankly, seeing that everyone else had a job but her. Li Yundong smiled, "There’s a place where you'll have a very important role; you’ll know when the time comes." The group was busy inside the shop when Zhao Yougen and his crew of renovation workers stared at them, dumbfounded, completely unable to fathom what these people were planning.

But since the foreman and his crew were seasoned renovation professionals, after watching for a while, the foreman said with a look of shock and confusion, "Could it be—they’re planning to renovate?" "Huh? Who?

Them?!" Zhao Yougen looked as if he had just heard the most ridiculous, absurd joke of the century. His mouth gaped so wide he could nearly fit his fist inside.

He sharply turned to glare at the foreman, then pointed across the street at Li Yundong's shop, "Are—are you joking? A young man who hasn't even graduated from university Chinese department...

leading a group of delicate beauties to do renovations? Are you crazy, or am I?" The foreman’s expression was odd, and he stammered, "Mr.

Zhao, I, I think I'm the one who's crazy... But, but everything they're doing right now is exactly what you do during a renovation!" As he spoke, one of the renovation workers suddenly pointed at Cao Yi and the others, who had just returned, and said, "Look!

That big bucket they bought is for soaking the tiles!" Zhao Yougen saw Cao Yi and the others bring in seven or eight large, person-height red buckets before quickly dropping them off and turning to leave again, as if starting a second purchasing trip. Meanwhile, Su Chan was bouncing happily as she plastered the shop’s clear glass windows with opaque, patterned plastic sheeting.

The onlookers outside could only see shadowy figures moving within and couldn't make out what was happening, causing them to sigh mournfully, "Beauties, don't cover it up! Let us watch!

Why the censorship? We don't want censored content!" Zhao Yougen felt his mind turning into a chaotic mess.

Li Yundong’s completely unorthodox actions left him feeling as lost as if he had fallen eight hundred li into a dense fog. "No, I have to go take a look!" Zhao Yougen suddenly gritted his teeth and strode toward Li Yundong's shop across the way.

The foreman’s curiosity was clawing at him like twenty-five cats attacking at once. He quickly called out, "I’ll go take a look too." Unexpectedly, as soon as he said that, the workers behind him chimed in, "Us too!" Zhao Yougen spun around and glared furiously at the foreman, "Are you not working?!" The foreman flinched and turned to glare back at his own crew, "Are you not working?!" At once, the workers sheepishly returned to their shop, listlessly resuming their tasks, though their eyes constantly flicked toward the shop across the street.

Li Yundong was inside the shop consulting with Ziyuan about the layout and sequence of the renovation when he suddenly saw Zhao Yougen push the door open. He frowned slightly, folded the design blueprint he was holding, and handed it to Ziyuan, saying, "Mr.

Zhao, is something the matter?" Zhao Yougen looked around, his mouth agape, and asked, "Little brother, what kind of show are you putting on here?" Li Yundong stated calmly, "Can't you tell what show this is? It’s Nan Ni Wan!

Mr. Zhao!" " Nan Ni Wan?" Zhao Yougen was stunned speechless.

It was the foreman who reacted faster. He leaned close to Zhao Yougen's ear and whispered, "It means they're going to do the work themselves, and they’ll have plenty to eat and wear!" Zhao Yougen made an exaggerated expression and cried out, "Little brother, are you seriously planning to renovate this shop yourselves?" Li Yundong smiled faintly, "Why, is that not allowed?" Zhao Yougen suddenly burst into roaring laughter, bent double, as if hearing that Yao Ming had suddenly become a rap star or Obama was roasting sweet potatoes on the street corner—it was utterly unbelievable.

He laughed until tears streamed from his eyes. Zhao Yougen’s laughter grated harshly on Su Chan and the others.

They felt mocked and belittled, and they glared hostilely at him, ready to toss him out at the slightest signal from Li Yundong. Li Yundong, however, showed no anger.

Instead, he watched Zhao Yougen with a smiling face, as if observing a clown monkey performing antics. After laughing for quite some time, Zhao Yougen straightened up, wiping the tears from his eyes.

"Oh, little brother, little brother, you truly have an overactive imagination. A university student after all, very impressive, very impressive!

Do you even know the procedures involved in renovation?" Li Yundong smiled faintly, "What if I know? And what if I don't?" At this point, Zhao Yougen only saw Li Yundong as a reckless upstart acting on a whim.

Disdain and contempt lay hidden deep in his eyes as he said, "Little brother, little brother, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Zhao Yougen turned and walked up to a wall that had already been partially demolished, saying, "Little brother, let’s not talk about other things. Just tearing down this one wall—it would take two professional renovation workers two or three days to finish.

Look around you, where are the people capable of this kind of rough work?" As soon as Zhao Yougen said this, Su Chan and the others became furious, shouting in unison, "What did you say!" Zhao Yougen jumped, shrinking his head back, looking around at the little fox spirits with a flicker of panic. Li Yundong raised his hand, signaling Su Chan and the others to remain silent.

He then walked up to the wall himself, gently caressed its surface with his hand, and smiled, "This wall requires two days?" The foreman standing beside Mr. Zhao leaned in and said, "It takes about two days!" Li Yundong glanced at him, then turned back to Zhao Yougen and said, "Oh?

But why do I feel like it could be done in two minutes?" "Two minutes?" Zhao Yougen burst into loud, rolling laughter. "Young people really don't draft before bragging!

Little brother, what you’re saying is too exaggerated!" Saying that, he raised his hand, checked his watch as if performing a ritual, and declared, "It’s three minutes before 8:30 now. I’ll give you an extra minute to see how you manage it.

Hey, little brother, you've certainly blown a massive horn, I think you..." Zhao Yougen hadn't finished speaking when Li Yundong casually patted the wall with his palm. Instantly, the wall was covered in countless cracks with a loud shattering sound.

Then, Li Yundong lightly tapped the four corners of the wall, and in less than a second, the entire wall collapsed with a deafening crash. Zhao Yougen’s words came to an abrupt halt.

His eyeballs nearly popped out of his sockets, and the foreman next to him nearly dropped his jaw to the floor. When Su Chan and the little fox spirits saw the expressions on Zhao Yougen and the foreman, they felt utterly vindicated and burst into hearty laughter.

Li Yundong let out a low chuckle, clapped his hands, and said to Su Chan and the little fox spirits, "My little ones, stop standing around foolishly, let's get to work!" With that, the little fox spirits responded in unison and swarmed forward. As they passed Zhao Yougen, they deliberately bumped into him, snapping, "Good dogs don't block the way!" "What are you looking at?

Keep looking and we'll dig your eyes out!" "Scram!" "Hmph, now you know how powerful our Sect Master is!" Zhao Yougen stumbled and staggered toward the doorway after being shoved. When he managed to steady himself, he saw these young, beautiful women.

Some were tossing large chunks of brick and stone as if they were pebbles to another companion, who would quickly stuff the stones into the provided garbage bags. Others, seeing some rubble that hadn't been cleared, simply used their fingers to pry the remaining pieces out one by one!

They worked cooperatively, like an assembly line, and in a very short time, they cleared the entire wall completely, even bagging and sorting the fragments of broken stone. "Heavens above..." Zhao Yougen felt that everything before him was too unreal.

He stood there, slack-jawed and dazed, murmuring, "Am I dreaming?" At that moment, Su Chan walked up to Zhao Yougen, holding two huge garbage bags filled with rubble, and glared at him: "Move aside! Don't get in the way!" Zhao Yougen finally snapped back to reality, feeling a burning heat on his face.

He walked out of Li Yundong's shop in a daze, then mechanically watched Su Chan stride effortlessly to throw the two bags, each weighing several dozen catties, into the trash bins one or two hundred meters away. "This is too exaggerated," Zhao Yougen even began to suspect the stones in those plastic bags were made of foam.

After Su Chan entered the shop, he immediately spun around, ran to the trash can, pulled open one of the plastic bags, picked up a piece of broken brick, and tried to snap it with force! This single attempt nearly broke his finger!

Zhao Yougen sucked in a sharp breath, quickly dropped the brick, and stared at the direction of Li Yundong's shop, utterly shaken. Suddenly, he felt a terrifying sense of threat wash over him, and under the bright midday sun, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Although Zhao Yougen couldn't pinpoint what object caused such dread and apprehension, he clearly realized he had gravely underestimated Li Yundong, and his previous boasts were dangerously close to becoming a laughingstock. Zhao Yougen rushed back into his own shop and roared like a madman, "Everyone work harder!

We absolutely cannot lose to them! I’ll give you a raise!" As soon as the workers heard about money, they immediately became excited, promising in unison, and everyone started working with feverish enthusiasm and vigor.

Meanwhile, inside the shop, Li Yundong smiled and said to Ruan Hongling, "Now it’s your turn to show your stuff!" Ruan Hongling gave Li Yundong a huge eye-roll. "If you tell me I have to do that kind of rough work, I swear I’m not done with you!" Li Yundong laughed heartily, pointing at the thick planks of wood on the floor.

"Unleash your talent. Let's see what you can create!" Ruan Hongling snapped, "How do you know I can do carpentry?

Even if I could, do I have the tools? Do I have a plane, a saw, anything like that?" Li Yundong countered, "Don't you have your magic artifact?

That thing can be controlled at your will; isn't it better than any tool?" Ruan Hongling was momentarily speechless, stuttering, "Wh-what? You, you want me to use my magic artifact to do carpentry?" Li Yundong smiled meaningfully, "Yes.

I truly cannot think of anything your artifact couldn't carve or create." Ziyuan finally understood what Li Yundong was plotting. She pursed her lips, smiled slightly, and shook her head, thinking: Only Li Yundong could come up with something like this!

Ruan Hongling stared at Li Yundong as if he were an alien visitor. Her eyes were wide, her gaze complex, holding both shock and a hint of admiration.

She thought to herself, In the entire cultivation world, ancient or modern, foreign or domestic, the only person who would use a magic artifact for carpentry is likely the one right in front of me! If my master found out...

he would go ballistic!!
