Yang Xiao had been living in the valley for about ten days,

During the day, he would run about with Ah Bao, Qing Mu, and others, surveying the terrain and personally hand-drawing a rough sketch map of the entire Primitive Forest.

Yang Xiao carried a map with him, which was given to him by Qin Lu.

However, the map given by Qin Lu was a general geographical map of the entire Purple Origin Star, while the map Yang Xiao was currently drawing was a more detailed one tailored to his needs.

Yang Xiao would check the terrain and draw maps during the day, pondering over the layout of the future mining base and Wildman City, while at night, Ah Rui would accompany him.

In just a few days, the relationship between the two had progressed very quickly, with a sense of being inseparable.

Yang Xiao decided to return to the base to discuss the mining operation with David and Elder Qin.

The night before his departure, Ah Rui clung to Yang Xiao, reluctant to let him go.

"Will you come back, right?"

Yang Xiao smiled and pinched Ah Rui's cheek with his hand.

"Don't worry, I still need to open the mines here and establish a base, of course I'll come back."

"Don't lie to me, otherwise, I,"

"What would you do?"

Ah Rui intended to say "If you lie to me, I will kill you," but then thought she might not be a match for Yang Xiao, so she said sadly:

"If you don't come back, I... I would die."

Ah Rui said this directly, without beating around the bush, her genuine feelings shining through as she looked at Yang Xiao with her big eyes.

Yang Xiao felt a warmth in his heart and hugged Ah Rui tightly.

The next morning, the King of Wildmen, Qing Mu, and Ah Rui bid farewell to Yang Xiao, with Ah Bao and his ten subordinates leaving with Yang Xiao.

Watching Yang Xiao's departing figure get farther and farther away, Ah Rui's tears started to flow.

The Wildman King looked at his granddaughter with affection, patted her shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"Girl, don't worry, Yang Xiao will come back."

"Yes!"

Ah Rui sobbed and wiped her tears with her hand.

...

In the base, David had been anxious throughout these past ten-something days.

He was very concerned since Yang Xiao had gone alone with Ah Bao and the others.

First, he worried about Yang Xiao's safety and feared that he might get killed by the wild people.

These wild people were volatile in mood, especially harboring deep hatred towards the people of the base. A single wrong word could lead to a killing, and with Yang Xiao's low Genetic Evolution Level, he was no match for the wild people.

If Yang Xiao were to die at the hands of the wild people, David would find it regrettable, especially since he had made significant investments in Yang Xiao.

Secondly, what if Yang Xiao, like those miners who ran away from Ice Wolf Island, joined the wild people's tribe and betrayed him?

The possibility was not nonexistent.

David somewhat regretted heeding Yang Xiao's advice and letting him take charge of the mine operation.

"Ah, establishing a mining base in the Wildman Forest, how easy could it be? Isn't this nonsense? Why did I believe Yang Xiao and support him so much initially?"

David was filled with regret, and if he could bring Yang Xiao back now, he would do so immediately.

David had been on Purple Origin Star for decades and had been the station chief for over ten years, dreaming of having his private mining base. Yet, he had never achieved this, showing it wasn't easy.

David was anxious in his room when a guard knocked and entered.

"What is it?"

"Report to the Station Chief, Master Yang has returned?"

"Ah?"

David left the guard behind and rushed out, only to see Yang Xiao hurrying over shortly after stepping outside. Grabbing Yang Xiao's hands, he exclaimed:

"Master Yang, you've finally come back. You've been gone for so many days, I was worried something had happened to you, I was just thinking of searching for you in the wild people's tribe?"

"Hehe, thank you for your concern, Station Chief Dai, see, I've come back in good health, right? Oh, and I've brought you some good news."

David was startled, then promptly pulled Yang Xiao by the hand into his office, ordering not to be disturbed by outsiders.

Yang Xiao didn't want too many people to know the details of this matter.

Yang Xiao immediately shared a brief account of the past few days' experiences,

Also casually mentioning his marriage to the daughter of the Wildman King.

Yang Xiao felt this matter couldn't be hidden, as David would find out sooner or later; he didn't want to cause misunderstandings with David by keeping secrets.

David listened, first stunned, then chuckled:

"Master Yang, your fortune with women is not insignificant!"

Yang Xiao replied with a wry smile:

"Station Chief Dai, I've offered my valuable body for yours and Elder Qin's venture, a sacrifice in the line of duty!"

"Pfft!"

David couldn't hold back his laughter and burst into hearty laughter.

"Good, this is also good. You're the son-in-law of the Wildman King, and it will be much more convenient to mine in the forest of the wild people in the future."

"Shouldn't we contact Elder Qin now to finalize the mining investment? The sooner, the better. Also, I have a premonition that if we do this right, all the mining fields in the Wildman Primitive Forest Protection Zone will be ours in the future."

David was very excited,

"Master Yang, you've made a significant contribution this time; I truly don't know how to thank you enough. You not only solved the issue of opening the mine but also resolved the miner's problem, which is beyond my expectations. A genius, you are indeed an extraordinary talent."

David gave Yang Xiao a thumbs-up.

Yang Xiao said with a smile:

"It is all thanks to your support. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish this matter. By the way, Station Chief Dai, if we are to mine in Wildman Forest, I will need to take my brothers who came with me to help manage the base. Furthermore, I need to solve the identity card issue to mine under a Witch Star identity."

"Rest assured, Master Yang, I'll resolve the identity card issue for you within ten days."

"Hmm, didn't you say it would take three years?"

"With money, even ghosts grind the millstones. I'll spend ten million Crystal Coins to buy you an identity card. With a private mining base in the future, ten million Crystal Coins is nothing."
