Chapter 116: Duan Lanruo, the God of strategy!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The petite girl followed behind the eighth concubine and began to worry about her future position in the family. Most importantly, she could no longer hide on the top of the bed to observe him in the future.
She imagined that in the future, a group of concubines would be squeezed into the room. Then, she might not have any place to continue observing Liu Yuan.
Zhiying suddenly felt that her future was in danger, and the mission her mother had given her could not be completed well.
When Ah Yue brought Zhiying into the inner hall, Liu Yuan was talking to Duan Lanruo about the spirit of the mountains and seas.
Hu Zhizhi was clearly a young spirit of the mountains and seas. She had a look of ignorance on her face and did not know anything.
If he wanted her to learn her skills in advance, it was not enough to just throw her like a Pokemon out while shouting, “I choose you, Zhizhi!”
Instead, it required many steps and materials to ‘ripen’.
Commonly known as fighting and pet leveling.
It was obviously not enough to just rely on Liu Yuan himself. However, there was also Duan Lanruo, the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, who had connections and resources, so things would be much simpler.
The spirits of the mountains and seas were relatively rare, but to the upper echelons of the Immortal cultivation world, they were not very rare. Duan Lanruo also had the identity of a swordsmith, so she was very familiar with natural treasures. She also had enough in her inventory, so she had some more confidence.
In order for the spirits of the mountains and seas to acquire the skills of the Mountain Sea Realm, they would first need a large amount of spiritual power, which could be provided by spirit stones. Next would be some spatial-attribute materials such as the Seamless Stone, the Illusionary Sea Nether Metal, and so on…
The most difficult to obtain was the Illusionary Sea Nether Metal. However, out of coincidence, Ye Cike had just exchanged the Illusionary Sea Nether Metal mine for the right to use the Ten Thousand Sword Array.
Apart from that, there was also an ‘Origin Gathering Pill’ that was especially used to allow spirit beasts to evolve.
In the game, these were all the materials used to level up the spirit beast. It required the player to spend a lot of energy in dungeons and missions. For players who had multiple pets, it was like a full-time job.
However, Liu Yuan now had Duan Lanruo.
It represented the resources of the entire City of Ten Thousand Swords and the assistance of the Sword Pavilion.
This was the power of being a sugar baby (confirmed).
Liu Yuan felt that sooner or later, he would be able to build an unprecedented force with the help of a harem. The members would have no shortcomings in all aspects, and they would all be at the top.
“City Lord, I’ve brought the person.”
Ah Yue gave way to the petite girl behind her.
Hearing this, Duan Lanruo turned around and saw a young girl who looked as delicate and small as a doll. Her long hair was like a waterfall, and her clothes were as white as snow. It was early February, and she was at the age where she was ignorant. She stood quietly and obediently, making people love and pity her.
“What an adorable child.”
The City Lord’s heart instantly softened, and she remembered that this was Liu Yuan’s child. Looking at him, she felt like she could see Liu Yuan’s shadow. She walked over and reached out to pull Zhiying into her arms.
“Mmm?” The young girl’s body was too petite, and Duan Lanruo only needed to bend over slightly to be able to hold her in her arms.
Zhiying suddenly let out a puzzled and stuffy voice. It felt dark and stuffy in front of its eyes, but the tip of her nose could smell a strong fragrance.
Sniff, sniff.
This concubine smelled so good, and her father’s familiar scent was mixed in with her fragrance.
When the girl was hugged, she subconsciously straightened her arms and waved them in the air. She looked like a little penguin in a daze, and then she fell into deep thought.
Her mother had never done this to her before. It was so strange, but she felt very warm and steady. There was a kind of power that directly struck her heart. It was soft.
Father… had also been hugged like this before.
Zhiying quieted down and tried to reach out to hold the woman’s waist in front of her. However, the woman hugged her even more tightly. Duan Lanruo kept making ‘so cute’ sounds as if she had seen a small animal. She rubbed Zhiying’s head, and the young girl let out muffled sounds of enjoyment.
H-has she been conquered? She had been completely conquered!
Liu Yuan stood at the back and twitched his mouth. At this moment, he felt that he had not even taken in both mother and daughter, but Duan Lanruo had already taken in both him and Zhiying.
That’s too f*cked up.
Was this the famous saying that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world?
Finally, after about the time it took to finish a cup of tea, Duan Lanruo finally came out of the state of ‘sucking in Zhiying’ and looked at the young girl lovingly. She pulled the young girl over to sit beside Liu Yuan and sat down herself.
From afar, they really looked like a loving family of three.
Liu Yuan patted Zhiying’s head. Although the girl was expressionless as usual, he felt that she was dizzy. Her face was a little red, and she was sitting very obediently with her hands on her knees. Her serious face was really cute.
Duan Lanruo sighed. “She’s really different from Pihuan Luo. If you didn’t say so, I wouldn’t believe that this child grew up with Pihuan Luo.”
Liu Yuan thought to himself, ‘That’s because you haven’t seen how Zhiying looks when it kills people. It’s called cruel and decisive, completely different from this cute appearance.’
He retracted his hand and asked, “Why did you come to a brothel?”
Zhiying raised her head. “I was following you. I passed by and hid. Then, I met the people from the Holy Church.”
“Hmm… Holy Church?” Liu Yuan was stunned, and then his expression changed. “People from the demonic sect?”
Duan Lanruo was also taken aback. When she saw Zhiying nod, the smile on her face faded a little. Ever since the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event, the City of Ten Thousand Swords has been more heavily guarded than usual. But because there are simply too many people coming and going, there are still quite a few people who managed to sneak in. Most of them will still be dealt with in the follow-up inspections.
“They entered the City of Ten Thousand Swords ahead of time for the Tideviewing and Sword-listening,” Zhiying shook her head and said.
She told the two of them everything she had heard, repeating it from the beginning to the end without leaving out a single word. She even told them about the sacred religion unifying the world.
The girl’s emotionless tone when she said such an excited slogan was really funny. Liu Yuan could almost imagine the gloominess and pride on the faces of the two demonic sect people at that time.
The standard villain face.
Unfortunately, the Holy Messenger was the biggest spy.
“I see… The target is the swords that Pavilion Master is going to take out.”
Duan Lanruo nodded with a stern gaze. “Where are these two people now? we have to deal with them before the event.”
“No,” Liu Yuan suddenly said. Under Duan Lanruo’s confused gaze, he slowly said, “They want to attract the impact of the tide at Jade Snow mountain to create chaos and seize the opportunity to seize the Lake Light Sword. They don’t actually have many high-level Immortal cultivators. Instead, they are scattered all over the place, making it difficult to deal with them all at once.”
“But this time, the Ten Thousand Sword Array just happened to be modified into a person-locating array, right? When Ye Cike is about to activate it, you should send someone to feign discovery of this matter and say that it was an emergency and that you needed to borrow the array. This would ruin YeCcike’s plan.”
“Two birds with one stone,” Liu Yuan said with a smile.
