Actually, Jifeng had no choice. Last year, he had seen related reports in the country, stating that there were no fish left to catch in the coastal waters of the Heavenly Empire. Fishermen using nets over a thousand meters long dragged for 35 nautical miles and only caught fish worth two to three thousand yuan, and the quality was poor, not even enough to cover the fuel costs.

Moreover, this situation was getting worse. To avoid the same problem in his own waters, Jifeng had to come up with this idea. He decided to start by raising fish in his own sea, and once they grew larger, he could slowly harvest them.

The next day, while Jin Bingli announced the new fishing moratorium, Jeju Island also held its first universal election.

One hundred and fifty electronic voting boards were set up in towns across the island, allowing all residents to vote for the administrative chief by swiping their ID cards. The entire voting process could be completed with just a couple of taps.

The election would be supervised by the new Secretary-General of the Island Government, Lin Hui, and the Legislative Council. The results would be displayed in real-time on the electronic voting boards and on several large outdoor screens in Jeju City and Seogwipo City, ensuring the process was open, transparent, fair, and just.

Each candidate had their own governance philosophy and plans for the future. Voters could check the information of each candidate on the electronic voting boards and decide whom to support by tapping the "I Support" button under the candidate's name.

This innovative, fully transparent candidate selection process immediately attracted attention from around the world, especially the electronic voting system Jifeng implemented. For countries that require universal elections, this undoubtedly opened a new door, eliminating the need for paper ballots and ushering in a new era of fully electronic voting.

This year, there were three candidates in total: Jin Bingli, the vice mayor of Jeju City, and the mayor of Seogwipo City. However, the other two seemed to know they were just there to make up the numbers. Jin Bingli, who received Jifeng's support first, was almost accepted by the islanders as the administrative chief. The facts also proved their suspicions correct.

From the beginning, the election had little suspense. Jin Bingli's lead in votes made it clear that he would be the first administrative chief. Especially since he had taken over Jeju Island and announced a massive economic development plan worth tens of billions of dollars, which was incredibly attractive for an island with only 300,000 residents.

After checking the election progress at noon, Jifeng didn't pay much attention anymore. There was no suspense. In just the morning, Jin Bingli had received over 80,000 votes, while the other two candidates, despite having supporters, only had a few thousand votes, which was rather embarrassing.

In the afternoon, Jifeng was filled with anticipation. Xu Xian was coming over tonight. After three weeks apart, Jifeng truly missed her, not just for her gentleness and passion, but also for the peace and comfort she brought to his life.

Even with Gao Yuan, Jifeng had never been apart for so long. Perhaps because he had no family, Jifeng had invested all his emotions in Xu Xian, naturally hoping she would stay by his side. However, he knew that was impossible. Everyone has their own interests and work, and from the beginning, he knew Xu Xian was a celebrity and couldn't always be with him.

Fortunately, Jifeng had the Body Strengthening Technique and the Divine Dragon Space. Being somewhat lazy, he had plenty of time to practice the Body Strengthening Technique and delegate more tasks to his subordinates, focusing on what interested him.

"Sweetheart, over here!" Jifeng drove directly into the airport and parked in his private garage. Seeing Xu Xian step off the plane, still as radiant as ever, with skin that seemed even more tender, he couldn't resist the urge to touch her.

Seeing Jifeng standing by the car, Xu Xian's eyes sparkled with excitement. She quickly ran into his arms, and before she could speak, her lips were captured by his familiar warmth. Feeling Jifeng's dominance, Xu Xian's heart was filled with sweetness, and she clung to his neck, not wanting to let go.

A long, passionate kiss left Xu Xian breathless. Jifeng finally released her, and seeing the woman in his arms, his heart felt at peace.

"OPPA, I missed you." Xu Xian's soft, sweet voice made Jifeng prove his feelings with action once again.

Without waiting for dinner, as soon as they returned to the hotel, Jifeng felt Xu Xian's passion. As a man, and a physiologically normal one at that, he couldn't disappoint his woman. Jifeng carried the passionate Xu Xian to the bedroom, and after a night of intense intimacy, Xu Xian lay weakly in his arms, allowing Jifeng's "little guy" to remain inside her.

Holding Xu Xian's slightly warm body, Jifeng's fingers gently kneaded her breasts, enjoying the peaceful moment. He lightly kissed her baby-soft skin and said gently, "Darling, you don't have to work so hard. I can support you."

Xu Xian closed her eyes, savoring the afterglow. She said softly, "OPPA, I'm sorry. I want to spend more time with you, but we are a group. I can't always think of myself. We all hope our group can last longer."

Jifeng sighed inwardly and said, "Alright, forget I said anything. When are you free for the Spring Festival? Can you come back with me to celebrate the New Year?"

Xu Xian looked at Jifeng with a guilty expression and offered her small tongue. "I'm sorry, OPPA. Our schedule for the Spring Festival is tight this year. I promise to convince the others next year not to take such a busy schedule."

Jifeng smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, darling. Work is important, but please promise me to take care of yourself. Don't you want to be a diplomat? If you like, you can also come to Jeju Island and use your diplomatic skills."

Xu Xian looked at Jifeng with affection, her eyes filled with love. "That's something I'll consider in the future. Right now, I just want to do my job well and spend more time with OPPA. By the way, OPPA, it's almost the Spring Festival. Why did you suddenly think of a fishing moratorium? This is terrible. Countless fishermen in South Korea won't be able to have a good New Year, and fish prices in the market have already risen by 30%."

Jifeng smiled and explained his concerns. Xu Xian listened in surprise and finally said, "Will all the fish really be caught? Isn't the sea vast with countless fish?"

Jifeng, unable to help but laugh, gently rubbed Xu Xian's tender breasts, causing her to let out a soft moan. He said, "Darling, even in the sea, fish need time to grow. Although it doesn't seem scarce now, compared to a few decades ago, the number of fish in the sea has drastically decreased. So, we need to give fish a chance to recover. Besides, I didn't completely ban fishing. I allowed three companies to continue their operations."

They stayed in bed until around 11 PM, until Xu Xian's stomach started growling. Only then did they get up for dinner.

Jifeng personally cooked a braised Kedanier fish and steamed a piece of Balong fish. Xu Xian's eyes sparkled as she ate, her chopsticks flying as she exclaimed that she had never tasted such delicious fish.

Finally, when she couldn't eat any more, Xu Xian reluctantly stopped, looking at the two large fish that were still mostly left, especially the Kedanier fish, which glowed golden under the light. She said in surprise, "OPPA, what kind of fish is this? I've never seen it before."

Jifeng smiled and said, "This is a Kedanier fish. It's almost entirely golden, as you can see, even the meat is golden. They usually grow to about 50 centimeters and are very picky about their aquatic plants. I'm raising some in a specific place and plan to release them into the lake once it's expanded, so you can enjoy them more often."

The meat of the Kedanier fish is extremely tender and best suited for braising, with no fishy smell and rich in nutrients. The Balong fish, though large, has equally delicious and tender meat, with only one main bone. A single adult Balong fish might be too much for even ten people to finish.

Xu Xian was very satisfied with Jifeng's decision and nodded excitedly. "That's great! This way, everyone can enjoy such delicious freshwater fish. By the way, OPPA, I haven't seen the teddy bears yet. Can you take me to see them tomorrow?"

Jifeng smiled and agreed, looking at Xu Xian in her sleepwear, her chest occasionally visible. He felt his mouth go dry and stood up, hugging her and whispering, "Of course, but now it's my time. Darling, let's take a bath together."

Xu Xian's face turned slightly red, and she let Jifeng carry her, burying her face in his chest. Soon, the large bathroom was filled with the sounds of their passion.

For the entire night, the two seemed tireless, as if trying to make up for the three weeks apart. Fortunately, Jifeng's body, strengthened by the Body Strengthening Technique, was incredibly robust. Otherwise, another man might not have been able to get out of bed the next day.

(On my way home, I saw a particularly attractive woman and couldn't help but look at her a bit more, even swallowing unconsciously. Damn, the worst part is that my wife saw it... I'm in tears...)
