Dragon's Origin

"You didn't see how angry Sister Tantai was when she returned that day, saying that you, Marquis, don't sympathize with them," Mei'er vividly described the scene she witnessed to Wang Sheng.

"At first, those sisters were very angry, thinking that you, Marquis, were cold-blooded and ruthless." Mei'er said with a smile, but at that time, she almost turned hostile: "Many sisters felt that you were no different from those people in the Triumph Palace, all birds of a feather."

Unknowingly, Mei'er had already started referring to those women as 'sisters' instead of 'them.' Even Mei'er herself didn't notice this change, which shows how well she had been getting along with those beautiful experts these past few days.

"Later, Sister Tantai explained why you didn't sympathize with them." A sense of pride and emotion flickered in Mei'er's eyes as she leaned her delicate body against Wang Sheng, feeling the strength and warmth of his body, before continuing, "All the sisters in the entire Marquis's mansion cried miserably."

"When those people from the yamen came to the door, they were all dumbfounded when they saw the crying sisters." Thinking about the scene at that time, Mei'er found the yamen people inexplicably funny: "They thought they hadn't done a good job or were too slow, causing the sisters to cry, and almost knelt down in front of me to beg for mercy. Later, they finally realized it had nothing to do with them, and the look of relief on their faces was really interesting."

"The sisters cried all day, and Ling'er got anxious, thinking you had done something outrageous, saying she was going to come back and teach you a lesson." Mei'er hugged Wang Sheng's arm and said with a smile, "I finally managed to stop her, along with Sister Tantai and Sister Qiangwei. After knowing the reason, Ling'er cried for a long time too. Don't you think Ling'er's attitude towards you has been much better since she came back?"

Wang Sheng didn't pay much attention. He was drinking and tasting wine with Marquis Lu Wen at that time. He got Marquis Lu Wen drunk every day, and Ling'er almost glared at him every time she left. Where was there any good attitude?

This can't be blamed on Wang Sheng. He had said early on that he would choose the best wine himself, but Marquis Lu Wen insisted on getting involved. Who's fault is that?

Although it was just a sip or two of each wine, at most to savor it a little, the problem was that there were too many kinds of wine, a hundred kinds a day, and they were mixed wines. Added up, it was probably several pounds. Wang Sheng had a good tongue and one sip was enough, but Marquis Lu Wen had to take at least three or five sips. Accumulatively, it would be strange if Marquis Lu Wen didn't get drunk.

Wang Sheng himself had the Nine Secret Words, using the Soldier, Fighter, and Fore words together, and the alcohol entering Wang Sheng's body would be instantly dissolved and slowly excreted. Marquis Lu Wen didn't have this ability and had to rely on his body to resist, so how could he not get drunk?

When Ling'er saw her young master being drunk by Wang Sheng, how could she have a good attitude towards Wang Sheng? It was normal that Wang Sheng couldn't see that Ling'er had a good attitude.

"You don't need to do anything more, Marquis. Just those words have made those sisters devoted to you." Mei'er was very proud that the man she relied on could gain the admiration of so many sisters: "Although the documents for releasing them from their servitude have been made, every sister already considers herself a member of the Marquis's mansion. They will be people of the Marquis's mansion in life and ghosts of the Marquis's mansion in death. You won't be able to drive them away even if you want to in the future."

Mei'er was exceptionally happy. Of course, she was not only happy that Wang Sheng could be recognized, accepted, and loyal to by so many sisters, but also that Wang Sheng did not take advantage of the situation and did not covet the beautiful faces and bodies of those sisters, even when Sister Tantai later offered so many benefits that could greatly improve Wang Sheng's cultivation, Wang Sheng did not agree.

This was more effective than Wang Sheng doing anything else for Mei'er. A woman's heart cannot be measured by common sense. The only problem was that Wang Sheng's current cultivation was not enough, otherwise Mei'er would have taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

"They are all pitiful people. If we can give them a stable life, we should help as much as we can," Wang Sheng sighed, feeling helpless in his heart.

If they were on Earth, how could so many outstanding beauties not be in a goddess-like position, sought after by countless people? How could they have fallen to this point?

Fortunately, they didn't give up on themselves, but kept fighting. If they were those who went with the flow and felt that their lives would just be like this, Wang Sheng wouldn't even bother to look at them. If you resign yourself to fate, why should others bother to help you without getting any benefits? On what basis?

The Grand Theater was being built in an orderly manner. The Emperor had already given his reply, saying to build as high as they wanted. Anyway, Wang Sheng had said that the highest would only be seven or eight zhang, not exceeding ten zhang, so they could build as they pleased. However, the Emperor said ten zhang, and no one thought of exceeding it. Later, when they asked Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng directly set it at nine zhang nine. The Royal Grand Theater, after all, should have the aura of royalty.

Master Liu was indeed worthy of being called Master Liu. For a building as high as ten zhang, all the beams and pillars, besides wood, were the bones of powerful demon beasts. He didn't even plan to use a single nail during the design, and everything was supported by mortise and tenon structures.

Wang Sheng had specifically consulted about this, as hundreds of people would be seated inside, along with various facilities. Could the all-wood and bone structure bear the weight? And how about fire prevention and other safety considerations? How about the distribution of evacuation exits inside, the layout of men's and women's restrooms, the hall, seats, and other safety-related things? If there were important figures, how to prevent assassinations, etc.? All these were brought up.

Wang Sheng's concerns made Master Liu look at Wang Sheng with new eyes. Master Liu originally thought that even if Wang Sheng knew anything, he would only know about the exterior design and wouldn't know too much about the internal workings. In fact, that was true, as Wang Sheng completely acted like an amateur when it came to the internal structure. However, as soon as Wang Sheng's questions came out, Master Liu directly gave Wang Sheng a thumbs up.

Even if Wang Sheng was not an insider in the construction industry, just the fact that Wang Sheng could consider these issues made him a rare insider among the big shots.

In response to Wang Sheng's concerns, Master Liu explained everything to Wang Sheng one by one. How to solve the load-bearing problem, how to solve fire and water prevention, how to carry out the decoration, without looking down on him because Wang Sheng didn't understand structural design.

The superb skills combined with the powerful materials of this world, as well as the assistance of formations, eliminated Wang Sheng's worries. Master Liu's structural design could not only solve Wang Sheng's worries, but also had a large margin of safety, enough to cope with various emergencies.

Since very few metal tools were used, Tie Lao and others naturally became idle. Hearing Wang Sheng's summons, Tie Lao immediately brought a few old buddies over. Working for Wang Sheng had this kind of surprise of seeing new things at any time, and every Grandmaster didn't want to miss it.

Just as Wang Sheng was about to talk to Tie Lao and others about brewing equipment, Mei'er suddenly opened her mouth: "Marquis, you also promised to build a set of beauty and fitness equipment for us!"
