Chapter 1412: Chapter 53: Zongkun’s Blissful Fish Life (Soliciting Monthly Tickets)_4

At this moment, Wang Shouzhe, Emperor Longchang, Jiang Zhencang, and others had already been waiting here.

After Yuling, Wang Fugui, and Yun Mengyu entered the top floor.

Wang Shouzhe personally stepped forward to greet them: “The esteemed True Monarch and the Little Princess have graced us with their presence. I apologize for not welcoming you from afar.”

“Master Shouzhe!” Jade Spirit True Monarch sized up Wang Shouzhe from head to toe, “Seeing is believing, truly admirable.” Despite her esteemed status, she knew that Wang Shouzhe was not a simple character.

After a round of pleasantries.

Wang Shouzhe said, “Rich, the Little Princess’ suite is next door. You take her to have a look around and introduce the features first.”

“Yes, Old Ancestor Grandfather, Great Emperor Grandfather, Sacred Master Grandfather, Senior Yuling, I will go ahead,” Wang Fugui obediently led Yun Mengyu to the suite next door.

After the children left, the adults started their casual conversation before coming to the main topic.

“Rich is really a good child,” said Jade Spirit True Monarch, unable to suppress a smile, “but his name lacks a bit of a celestial feel.”

Wang Shouzhe also helplessly said, “In our Wang family’s generation’s names, there is a ‘Rich’. We can’t just skip it, can we? ‘Rich and Honored’ has been in use for over a hundred generations. Some of my direct vessel brothers specifically kept the ‘Honored’ character, I had to use it.”

“What’s wrong with the name?” chuckled Emperor Longchang, “My family’s ‘Rich and Honored’ is both wealthy and noble, and he’s been especially close to me since he was young, a truly clever boy.”

This is you insisting on raising the child, right?

Wang Shouzhe rolled his eyes, Fugui was a good kid, but under his guidance, he walked and behaved differently from ordinary children. Wherever he went, he appeared precocious for his age and liked to meddle in everything…

“What are you looking at? Did I not raise Fugui well?” Emperor Longchang began to quarrel with Wang Shouzhe again.

“Let’s discuss the main matter first, you guys can argue slowly later,” Jiang Zhencang coughed twice and shifted the topic, “The issue with Blood Venerate’s relics and Demon Lord Xietong is timely; we should be prepared to close in on them. Jade Spirit True Monarch, thank you for coming to assist.”

“As it should be, the Real Demon Palace and my Immortal Palace are inherently opposed. If they dare to meddle in our Immortal Dynasty’s territory, we naturally can’t let them do as they please,” said Jade Spirit True Monarch. “I already have a rough idea of Master Shouzhe’s plan. Now, there’s a problem: the conflict at the border has progressed to such an extent that West Jin and South Qin no longer have the capability to cause a major uproar.”

“Even if Blood Lord Xietong is currently in chaos, doubts will arise when Emperor Longchang and Old Jiang suddenly show up like this”

“True Monarch’s insights are sharp,” praised Wang Shouzhe, “but don’t worry, I have already made arrangements for this. Take a few days to rest, True Monarch, and there will be news soon.”

“Great,” Jade Spirit True Monarch responded briskly, “then I shall wait and see.”

…

Meanwhile.

Longzuo County.

Qingluo Guard.

On the vast and boundless azure sea surface, yellowing buoys, worn by the wind, sun, and seawater, crisscross, dividing the sea into large blocks.

From afar, between these large blocks, stand brightly colored square buildings arranged like stars in the sky, neat and orderly.

Looking closely, these buildings stand on square bases, unaffected by the wind, stable as Mount Tai.

These are sea bases jointly developed by Qingluo United Development Inc and Wang Clan’s Artifact Refining Headquarters.

Only a small part of the bases is visible above the water surface; most are hidden under it. These bases remain stable on the sea, unafraid of capsizing even during storms, and can also sail slowly on the sea like ships when needed.

They hover over the sea like Floating Islands, providing accommodation, dining, hot water, and social spaces for fishery workers, linking together a complete social network.

If not for these sea bases, the isolated fish farms on the sea would not only struggle with daily operations but the constant loneliness could also drive ordinary people and Profound Martial cultivators insane.

Daylight begins to break.

The brilliant morning glow colors the sea with splendid hues, and the surging waves lick the base of the stations, splashing up foam-like white spray.

On the long buoys around the stations, several sturdy Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators work together, quickly carrying a giant wooden barrel taller than a man.

The barrel is full of fish feed.

Dressed in simple tunics, though not made of cheap material, their arms exposed and tanned, revealing a sense of power.

The brisk sea wind messes up their hair, and the undulating waves make the buoys they stand on bob up and down, yet they remain unaffected, striding confidently and swiftly.

All of a sudden.

A ripple disturbs the water nearby as a large silver fish, wrapped in spray, leaps up aiming towards the group.

One of them, quick-witted, stretches out his hand and grabs the silver fish by its tail, then tosses it back into the cage.

This vast expanse of fish farms belongs to the Wang family, bringing substantial income annually.

The net enclosures around them nurture sea-dwelling fierce beasts of Level One to Two, exceedingly lively and incredibly strong. They occasionally attack shadows on the sea surface; any ordinary person hit by the fish might break bones, and falling into the sea could even risk being attacked by these fierce sea beasts.
