298 Growing Five Empires (2)

"Uh, I still have so much work to do… Yin, are the emperors here?" I ask the shadow towards the corner of the bathing room.

It was all just them trading… but I want more than that. 

I want them to benefit from each other like a self-sucking circle… what was it called… uh… ouroboros? The self-eating snake, I think.
