Chapter 2493
Yan Aohan answered Zhu Shunyao, then looked at Yan Xicheng. "Dad, are you and Mom doing well here? What about my brothers? Do they have jobs?"
"Doing great. Your mom and I are both fine," Yan Xicheng smiled. "Look, my body has returned to its youthful state. It’s rare to have such good health, so how could I waste time? Your father-in-law wanted to establish the Azure Sovereign Group, so I joined in."
Yan Xicheng chuckled. "Your mother plans to open a horse ranch, leading people on rides. Your eldest and second brothers passed the civil service exams here. They have their own jobs now. Your sisters-in-law are working at the ranch with your mom. Our whole family is doing wonderfully. Everyone has something to do."
She paused. "Also, Zhaoxia and her husband opened a small grocery store. It’s going very well. Life in the Underworld is much more carefree than in the mortal realm. At least there are fewer storms and hidden struggles."
Yan Aohan nodded slightly. He knew the Underworld was better now because it was a new realm, so there wasn’t much filth yet.
Every plane would eventually have its issues. Yan Aohan knew this. The Underworld was peaceful now because the population was small. When the population grew, conflicts would arise.
But he didn’t worry. As the ruler of the Underworld, he could crush any bad trends before they started.
Seeing Yan Xicheng so happy, Yan Aohan didn’t mention the other issues. Things were good enough for now.
Yan Xicheng looked at Yan Aohan. "How have you and your wife been these ten years?"
"Pretty good," Yan Aohan nodded. "Ani is now a Medical Immortal, so she sometimes needs to handle matters in the Immortal Realm. Fortunately, things are stable. With the Immortal Emperor there and no other major issues, I rarely leave her side, so it’s fine."
"Being the high-and-mighty Venerable Yanluo isn’t easy," Yan Xicheng sighed, understanding the difficulty.
Yan Aohan smiled. "Nothing is easy. Even in the mortal realm, managing the Yan family was hard. After all, the Yan family is a protective clan for the nation."
"True," Yan Xicheng agreed. "Every profession has its hardships."
"Little Yan, if you and Ani go to the Immortal Realm, do you know about the affairs here?" Zhu Shunyao asked curiously.
"What does Father mean?" Yan Aohan’s mind shifted, and he understood. "Is it about the Azure Sovereign Group?"
"Yes," Zhu Shunyao scratched his head, looking honest and shy. "It’s just that. You know I’m used to this life. If I had nothing to do after death, I couldn’t stand it. So, I continued managing the Azure Sovereign Group. Brother Baokun handles the specific operations, so I don’t interfere much. I mostly focus on farming and production."
"And I protect the safety of the Azure Sovereign Group," Yan Xicheng said proudly. "Your old dad has a job too."
"I see you’ve been idle for so long and finally found a place to show your enthusiasm," Yan Aohan teased Yan Xicheng. Then he turned to Zhu Shunyao.
"Father, don’t worry. Just manage it. Since the Underworld was opened, we need to develop not just the economy, but also transportation. The Underworld is huge. If everyone just flies around on their own, it’s meaningless.
I plan to find some artifact refiners to create flying vehicles. They can look like various transport tools from Yangjiang, such as cars, trains, sedans, airplanes, ships, or speedboats. The only difference is the fuel. Our vehicles will use refined spirit stones or soul jade, not diesel or gasoline."
Yan Aohan had this idea for a while, but things had to be done step by step. Zhu Shunyao taking the first step was a joy for him.
"Father, you can expand the scope of the Azure Sovereign Group. It doesn’t have to be just crops. You can also run general merchandise stores. Later, I’ll have the refiners make flying vehicles for you to sell. How does that sound?"
Zhu Shunyao had established the Azure Sovereign Group in the Underworld just to pass the time. He never expected Yan Aohan to give him such good news. He nodded. "Of course. As long as you don’t oppose us messing around, it’s fine."
"How could I oppose it?" Yan Aohan smiled. "The Underworld can’t develop relying only on us. We need everyone’s effort."
Yan Aohan added, "By the way, Father, I want you to open a logistics company."
"A logistics company?" Zhu Shunyao had never thought of it. Although there was an Azure Sovereign Logistics in the mortal realm, it was just affiliated with the group, and he didn’t manage it.
Yan Aohan nodded. "I call the shots in the Underworld, so Father, don’t worry about anyone targeting you. Azure Sovereign Logistics will speed up freight delivery. More importantly, I need a dedicated department to handle items sent from the mortal realm.
You know, after people die, their relatives in the mortal realm burn things for them. Some paper money, some clothes, etc.
Because the Underworld is different, what looks like waste paper in the mortal realm might be a villa here.
So, the delivery person is very important. The service must be thoughtful, and delivery must be timely.
Currently, I have Old Black and others handling this part-time. If Father opens Azure Sovereign Logistics, you can take over this task. This will free Old Black and others to do other things."
Zhu Shunyao thought for a moment, then said to Yan Aohan, "If anyone else suggested this, I might think it’s not good. But since you’re asking, I agree."
The Underworld belonged to his son-in-law. Zhu Shunyao didn’t worry about powerful figures watching them. A company directly under the Supreme Yanluo was safe from any bad intentions.
"That’s wonderful. I leave this to you, Father. If you face any difficulties, contact me directly. If I’m not here, you can contact Zhan Diting. He will definitely be available."
