CHAPTER 1436: CHAPTER 1443: GOING TO XIANBEI (2)

Within the forest, the population of wild chickens and wild rabbits was controlled by a white tiger within certain limits. Occasionally tiring of wild chickens and rabbits, it would go to Lingxi River to catch fish. Cai Wei would also sometimes take advantage of the dark and windy nights to let it go hunting in the Royal hunting ground alone. Thus, its days went by rather smoothly!

The fish and shellfish in the Lingxi River grew very well. Every so often, Cai Wei would go there to catch some larger shellfish, extract pearls from them, and send them to Zhenbao Pavilion to make money. Additionally, the inferior jade and jadeite soaked in Lingxi River water also added quite a bit to Cai Wei’s income.

Furthermore, with the glass industry in the north of the ridge, Cai Wei’s wealth now had firmly surpassed the Huo Family, who were the richest in the Great Jin Nation, making her the new top wealthiest woman in Great Jin Nation!

However, Cai Wei was always discreet about her own wealth since her identity was special. If her wealth were declared to all under heaven, everyone would think that the Emperor had shown her too much favor and moved the national treasury to her private storehouse.

So, although the common people knew that she owned several hundred Nursing Homes, and that she was in many businesses, nobody knew exactly how much money she had.

In fact, even she herself could not tally up exactly how much wealth she owned. After all, the treasures in Space added up to more than ten times the national treasury of Great Jin Nation. Now, silver had become a mere number to Cai Wei, different from when she first arrived and needed it for subsistence. She was tirelessly earning silver not because she was short of money, but rather to prove her worth through her ability to earn silver, and also to support those poor people who were not able to work.

She had a lot of wealth which took an entire afternoon to inventory. Since it was rare for her to be in Xianbei, Cai Wei planned to have dinner at a specialty restaurant in the city, sleep a bit in Space until it was dark outside, and then continue her journey.

After planning, she took a shower, got dressed, and left Space to stroll outside.

The streets of Xianbei Empire were very similar to those in Great Jin Nation, lined with either green bricks or blue stone slabs, and the streets were flanked by rows of shops. The street was bustling with a variety of people coming and going, carrying loads, driving carts, carrying back baskets, or just wandering around...

Cai Wei’s appearance soon attracted a lot of attention because she was wearing women’s clothing from Great Jin Nation, and furthermore, she was exceptionally beautiful. In this small city on the frontier, her presence was like a pearl in the dark of night, shining so brilliantly that people couldn’t help but stop and watch.

Seeing that she was turning so many heads, Cai Wei felt a bit embarrassed. She didn’t want to become the focus of attention at all, especially from several uncouth men whose eyeballs were almost popping out. Lucky for those men, Nangong Yi was not there, otherwise their eyeballs might really not be saved.

Quickly asking a passerby about the most famous restaurant in the city, Cai Wei hired a carriage and almost fled to that restaurant, leaving a trail of eyeballs behind her...

Upon arriving at the most famous restaurant in town, Cai Wei was warmly invited inside.

However, the shopkeeper did not lead her to a private room, but instead invited her to a row of large pots and cages in the backyard, allowing her to pick the animal she would like to eat to demonstrate the freshness of their ingredients.

Looking at the tanks full of seafood, Cai Wei didn’t feel anything special, but when she saw those cages of animals, unexpectedly including monkeys and rats, she felt disgusted. She averted her eyes and said, "Anything goes, just pick four of your restaurant’s specialty dishes for me, but please don’t include monkeys or rats or the like."
