SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family - Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Empyrean Trade Consortium
Back to the day before.

After Liu Meiying left Xu Qianghua and Bai Lingyun alone, she and some Shadow members went to a huge building next to the plaza.

This was the headquarters she had asked Li Xinyue to build when she was reorganizing the subspace.

As she neared the building, she saw the large double doors that were tightly shut without any visible way to open them.

But for Liu Meiying, this was not a problem, as she, along with all the main members of the family, including Xu Qianghua and the ladies, could open them without any force. These doors were similar to the sensor doors from the old world but had a more ancient feel.

This would only be the first time they were like this; afterward, the door would always remain open until the main family decided to close it.

As Liu Meiying approached the door, the large double doors opened smoothly, revealing the spacious interior.

The air inside was cool, and the faint scent of polished wood and fresh paint lingered.

The building was massive, with high ceilings and wide, open hallways that stretched out in multiple directions.

The main entrance led directly into a grand lobby, which was both impressive and functional.

The floors were made of dark, polished stone, with intricate patterns that seemed to shift subtly as the light changed.

On the walls, soft wall hangings in deep reds and gold displayed the emblem of the Xu family, along with a spot left for her own logo, which would be used for her Chamber of Commerce, lending an air of authority and tradition to the space.

A large, circular desk made from rich, dark wood stood in the lobby’s center. The desk was empty now, but Liu Meiying knew capable clerks and attendants would soon man it.

Behind the desk, a grand staircase spiraled upward, leading to the upper floors where the more private offices and meeting rooms would be located.

The lobby itself was uncluttered, with only a few necessary furnishings—a set of comfortable chairs arranged around a low table, a few potted plants to add a touch of greenery, and a large bulletin board mounted on the wall opposite the entrance.

This bulletin board was currently empty, but it would soon be filled with notices, requests, and opportunities for the family’s businessmen.

It would become the nerve center for the Chamber’s operations, where members would find different information on rare-to-find items, which would then be sold to others.

Liu Meiying walked further into the building, her footsteps echoing softly in the quiet space.

The hallways leading away from the lobby were wide and well-lit, with doors spaced evenly along both sides. Each door was made from the same dark wood as the desk, with brass handles that gleamed in the light.

As she walked, she created a plan for how these rooms would be used in the future—some would be offices for the Chamber’s officials, and others would be meeting rooms where some of the businessmen could form groups and travel together.

As she moved deeper into the building, she approached a large room at the end of one of the main hallways.

The doors to this room were more ornate than the others, with intricate carvings of mythical creatures and flowing patterns that seemed to tell a story.

She pushed the doors open and stepped inside.

The room was vast, with a high, vaulted ceiling supported by thick wooden beams.

Large windows lined the far wall, allowing natural light to flood the space and illuminate the polished stone floor.

In the center of the room was a massive conference table, its surface smooth and glossy. High-backed chairs surrounded the table, each one cushioned in rich fabric.

Several more bulletin boards had been installed on the walls, ready to display the various quests and assignments that would soon be posted on the bulletin boards in the lobby.

There was also a large map of the Xu family’s territory, with every interesting area or resource point that the merchants could use to keep the internal economy going.

Yes, they planned to make this subspace similar to any other city, which meant there would be a need for commerce and economy, which would be an important part.

However, the items would be a lot cheaper than outside. That did not mean everyone would stay here, as there would be rules to ensure the clansmen did not just stay in the subspace and never go out.

Liu Meiying approached the table and then took out the Chamber of Commerce token from her storage ring.

The token was small, fitting easily into her palm, but it had a special gleam that she had never seen before.

This was because she had set the token to be under the Xu family, which caused the token to become a Chaos-ranked item.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and focused her mind, channeling her Spiritual Qi and some of her ideas about the Chamber of Commerce into the token.

Although she did not know why she did that, she felt that this was the right way to use the token. And she was onto something, as she received blessings that would not appear often.

As the energy from the token spread through the room, the atmosphere seemed to change.

The air became charged with a faint hum, and the walls began to glow with a soft, golden light. Slowly, the light spread from the walls to the floor and ceiling until the entire room was bathed in a warm, comforting glow.

Then, the light began to souround around the bulletin boards and the map, infusing them with a subtle, shimmering energy.

This was the first blessing of the Chamber of Commerce token—

The blessing of foresight.

Description: From now on, the quests and missions posted on these boards would be imbued with a deeper understanding of the market, helping the family’s businessmen to predict trends, anticipate demand, and find the most profitable opportunities.

Next, the energy spread to the doors and windows, reinforcing the building’s defenses and ensuring that only those with the proper authority could enter.

This was the second blessing—

The blessing of security.

Description: It would protect the Chamber’s secrets, safeguard the family’s business strategies from prying eyes, and ensure that all dealings within these walls remained confidential.

Finally, the energy settled into the very foundation of the building, anchoring it to the subspace and linking it directly to the Xu family’s core.

This was the third and the most desired blessing—

The blessing of prosperity.

Description: As long as the Chamber of Commerce remained active, the building would draw in wealth and resources, subtly influencing the flow of commerce in the family’s favor. Deals would be more profitable, investments more fruitful, and the family’s coffers would steadily grow.

Liu Meiying opened her eyes as the last of the energy faded, leaving the room quiet once more.

But now, the space felt different. It was no longer just an empty building—it was alive with potential, a beacon of prosperity that would not only help the family but also spread across the World and the void in the future.

She couldn’t help but smile excitedly as she realized she was able to do what she loved: business.

Although the Xu Group went downhill in the old world, this couldn’t be helped as the Xu Group had shown cracks since Xu Qianghua’s parents died.

But these cracks did not surface at that time, and with them still mourning, they did not notice this, and when they did, those cracks had already become a huge ditch that could not be filled.

Satisfied, she left the conference room and made her way back to the lobby.

As she walked, she noticed subtle changes throughout the building—the air felt fresher, the light seemed warmer, and the entire space seemed to hum with a quiet, contented energy.

The Chamber of Commerce was ready.

When she returned to the lobby, she found the Shadow members waiting for her along with some of the clansmen who had returned from the living quarters.

All of these people loved this job, so they didn’t need to think much and just came right after they had selected their housing.

“Welcome. Seeing you all here, it seems that you have decided to work under me,” Liu Meiying said.

The Shadow members did not answer, as they were all assigned by either Grandma Su, the seven Shadow Guards, or the newly appointed Shadow Leader Yan Yuehua.

She asked the clansmen, who nodded with an excited look as they waited eagerly for Liu Meiying’s first orders.

“But we are forgetting an important point,” she said as she walked out of the building.

She turned around and looked at the empty name sign and said,

“From now on, my Chamber of Commerce will be called the Empyrean Trade Consortium.” As she said this, the empty signboard changed, and the name ‘Empyrean Trade Consortium’ appeared on it.
