Chapter 369 Making the Beauty Products

369  Making the Beauty Products

While Red was renovating the restaurant, Aethelwolf didn't remain idle. He planned to start making some beauty products. There were five products that he planned to introduce in his store; lipstick, soap, shampoo, moisturizer, and perfume. He already had these products in his stores in the Regalis Continent and he knew how to make them in batches. With his Nascent Soul cultivation, making these products didn't require the use of advanced equipment. He could just skip the menial process using his world essence.

Aethelwolf planned to use the same strategy he used in the Regalis Continent. He wanted to create a branding effect that would make his customers loyal to his products. Even if similar products emerged in the future, they would remain loyal because of the branding effect.

"I'll create a luxury brand in this continent and make everyone think that my products are worth buying. To ensure the quality of my products, the ingredients have to be superior." Aethelwolf listed the names of the ingredients on a piece of paper. To prevent leakage of information, he added some extra ingredients as a smokescreen. Although William seemed like a loyal guy, Aethelwolf wanted to be careful. After all, it hasn't been long since they got to know each other.

After listing the ingredients, he gave it to William. "Can you gather these ingredients?"

William stared at the list of ingredients and furrowed his eyebrows. Most of the things written on the paper were valuable. Searching for them wasn't difficult, but they were extremely expensive. "It's not a problem." He replied confidently.

"Good. Take this." Aethelwolf tossed a small sack of money to him. "There's 1 million Orbes in there. Is that enough to purchase everything?"

William thought for a moment and nodded his head. "It's more than enough, my lord." He did a mental calculation and everything added to about 700 thousand Orbes.

"Alright. You may leave." Aethelwolf waved his hand.

"Yes, my lord!"William bowed his head and left.

Now, Aethelwolf was officially broke. The 10 million Orbes reward she got for saving the mayor's children was already gone. However, Aethelwolf wasn't worried. Once, the beauty shop started operating, he could earn back the money he spent in just a few days!

William returned on the evening of the same day. It took him a long time to buy all the ingredients since he had to look for them all over the market.

After Aethelwolf received the ingredients, he told his family that he would be in seclusion. He then went to his cultivation room to start making the beauty products.

"It has been five days since he went into seclusion. I wonder when he is coming out." Samira sighed as they walked past Aethelwolf's cultivation room.

Julie Irish smiled at her. "Don't worry about him, sister. He is just preparing the products that he would sell in his store. Let's just wait for him to come out." She consoled.

"I'm not worried about him. It's just that our daughters are always looking for him." Samira replied in a helpless voice. The two little girls were getting restless with the absence of their father. They had grown used to his presence after they arrived on this continent. His five-day absence made them feel unhappy.

Julie released a heavy sigh upon hearing this. She had also noticed the changes in the little girls' moods.

Suddenly, they heard the door behind them creaking. They quickly turned around and saw Aethelwolf emerging from the room.

"Husband!" They exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm sorry! It took me long to perfect the formula of the products. I made some changes in the ingredients and made their quality better compared to what we sell in the Regalis Continent." Aethelwolf held his wives' hands while looking at them apologetically. He was so immersed in his work that he didn't notice the passing of time. He didn't even eat or sleep in the past few days. With his cultivation, he could survive without food and sleep for a long time. He didn't even feel weak after the non-stop work in the last five days.

"It's fine. We know that you are doing this for your family." Samira replied as she embraced Aethelwolf.

Julie was more reserved, but she also held her arms. "You should play with your daughters. They have been waiting for you since you entered into seclusion."

Hearing this, Aethelwolf nodded his head. "I'm already done with the products and we still have some time before the renovation is completed."

After consoling his wives, Aethelwolf looked for his daughters. He found them playing some music in the garden. A servant was teaching them how to play the flute.

Aethelwolf didn't immediately show himself. He listened to the music while hiding behind a tree.

He realized that the servant wasn't an ordinary person. She was a Peak Stage Foundation Establishment Esper, but she was way younger compared to William. From her youthful aura, Aethelwolf guessed that she was only about 30 years old. This was considered young in this world.

The female servant had high attainments in music and she was even close to comprehending the illusory Music Intent, a very rare skill that only highly talented musicians could learn. Aethelwolf was surprised by this. It seems like William wasn't the most interesting servant in the Golden Lake Manor. The guy had the strongest level, but he was definitely not the most talented. 'I have to observe the servants carefully. There might be some hidden gems among them…' He thought in his heart.

After the song was over, Aethelwolf walked in. His arrival surprised the three people.

"Papa!"

"Papa!"

"My lord!"

They exclaimed upon seeing him.

Aethelwolf smiled as he hugged his little daughters. "Are you learning music from this big sister?" He asked them.

The little girls nodded their heads. "Yes! Anselm is very good with the flute and her voice is so pretty!" They said.

The servant, Anselmn, blushed when she heard the little girls' praises, but she was also proud to hear it.

"Is that so?" Aethelwolf turned his gaze at Anselm.
