Chapter 81 Book 3 Stench

Li An stood at the heart of Xian Village, now bustling with activity and ambition. The villagers, invigorated by their recent prosperity, spoke of transforming the settlement into a town—an idea that filled the air with hope. But with growth came problems, and Li An had a keen eye for spotting them. Today, as she wandered the familiar paths, she sought to understand the challenges they faced and how she might solve them.

The village had changed dramatically since Li An first arrived. Once a quiet, struggling settlement, Xian had blossomed. Markets thrived with traders began to visit it bringing goods from distant regions, houses were sturdier, and the villagers wore smiles of contentment.
