The four City Lords nodded repeatedly. Even though they knew Song Xiaodong was using a carrot-and-stick approach, they had no choice in the matter.
Having dispelled the ambitions of these four City Lords, Song Xiaodong's subsequent conversation with them became quite pleasant. He even took out some small gifts for the four City Lords.
More importantly, Song Xiaodong introduced Qiao Yunxi and He Lingzhi to them, saying, "I've been appointed by the higher-ups to manage your world fully, and these two are my wives. They will act on my behalf here. If you have any needs, you can address them to these two, and we'll figure out a way to meet your needs."
The four City Lords showed strange expressions on their faces. Here, it's a norm to respect males, so having two women in such positions was clearly uncomfortable for them.
He Lingzhi was quite excited about being here, and she asked, "City Lords, I've heard you all are masters, how about sparring a bit?"
