Fighting for a Quota

"What's your relationship with Princess Zhao?"

Mu Feiyang didn't look at the boxes on the ground, but said this to the two sisters. Although he had already made a guess, he still wanted to confirm their identities.

Mu Feiyang had no complaints about the Zhao Shanshan sisters. After all, if their identities were true, they were also pitiable people.

After all, it was possible that their own elder brother wanted to kill them. Although the imperial family was the most heartless, after Mu Feiyang's two encounters, he knew that the sisters were not that kind of heartless people.

Instead, Mu Feiyang saw deep familial affection in them, which could be seen from their willingness to risk entering the Thunder Mountain Range to find medicine for their Imperial Father.

Their unwavering loyalty after being injured, and their various behaviors since arriving here, all showed that they had good character.

The Zhao Shanshan sisters exchanged glances after hearing Mu Feiyang's words, and then Zhao Shanshan said, "Young Master Mu, we are actually princesses of the Xiling Empire. Please forgive us for not revealing our identities earlier."

"And the Princess Zhao you mentioned is the eldest prince of the Xiling Empire, and also our imperial brother."

"Why do you ask, Young Master Mu! Do you know our imperial brother?"

They didn't know why Mu Feiyang suddenly asked this, and thought he knew their imperial brother!

"You call him 'Imperial Brother' so affectionately, but you don't know that the 'Imperial Brother' you're talking about just sent people to kill you!"

Mu Feiyang said sarcastically. They regarded Princess Zhao as their imperial brother, but he intended to kill them, simply because they saved the Empire Lord of the Xiling Empire.

This was a ruthless person, not only wanting to kill his sisters but also to murder his father, all for the sake of the throne.

"Young Master Mu, you... what do you mean by that?"

Zhao Shanshan was shocked, not understanding what Mu Feiyang meant. However, they soon understood, and looking at the scene that appeared before their eyes, their hearts were thrown into turmoil.

It turned out that Mu Feiyang had replayed the scene of the black-clothed men slaughtering the villagers of Laga Village for the two sisters with his great magic.

Those black-clothed men were so cruel, even killing unarmed civilians. This was simply the act of beasts.

"These black-clothed men were ordered to kill you sisters and me. If it were only that, it would be fine, but they shouldn't have killed these villagers."

"This has crossed my bottom line. I'm telling you this to let you know that I've taken Princess Zhao's life."

"But don't worry, I will only kill those in Princess Zhao's faction, and I won't implicate anyone else in your Xiling Empire. You can rest assured about this."

Mu Feiyang was a person who distinguished between gratitude and resentment. He would not implicate the entire Xiling Empire's royal family because of Princess Zhao's personal actions. He would only kill those in Princess Zhao's faction.

"Young Master Mu, this..."

"Enough. It's because of the two of you that I'm unwilling to pursue others. You don't need to say anything more."

"As for these things, you should take them and go back! Also, tell your Imperial Father that the common people are the foundation of a country."

"As an emperor, if he cannot cherish his country's people, then no matter how good he is, he is not a good emperor."

"Young Master Mu, we will take our leave then. We will also relay your words to Imperial Father."

Seeing Mu Feiyang's demeanor, Zhao Shanshan knew that no amount of words would be useful now. She could only collect the ten boxes on the ground, say goodbye to Mu Feiyang, and pull Zhao Yingying out of the courtyard quickly.

She had to go back quickly to tell her Imperial Father about this matter and see if she could save some people before Mu Feiyang made his move. Because even within Princess Zhao's faction, there were good people who cared about the world.

"Now there is a mission, does anyone want to go?"

Looking at the departing Zhao Shanshan sisters, Mu Feiyang's voice suddenly echoed in the courtyard, and then more than ten figures appeared before him.

If the Zhao Shanshan sisters were still here, they would have been scared half to death by the sight before them, because the figures appearing before Mu Feiyang were all strange animals, plants, and farming tools that had transformed.

There was a gluttonous black dog, a hen kept in a cage, koi in the courtyard pond, and even some flowers, grass, and fruit trees planted by Mu Feiyang in the courtyard.

Even kitchen knives, spoons, and cooking pots flew out from the kitchen, and even the hoe Mu Feiyang placed at the door was no exception. All of them had transformed into handsome men and beautiful women.

"Master, this kind of difficult mission, let me go! Old Hoe is already used to doing hard labor."

"Old man, you're good at clearing land and farming, but this mission is clearly not suitable for you. Don't come here and mess around."

"Hmph!"

"Big Belly, if I'm not suitable, are you? You should just obediently go cook your meal!"

"Master, Master, let me go! I've never been out before. It's a rare opportunity, and I want to share the burden with Master."

After the two young men finished speaking, another woman spoke. She was transformed from a flower planted by Mu Feiyang.

"Little Sister, you said yourself that you haven't been out before. If you get lost and delay Master's business, you'll be a sinner."

"Master, I think it's most suitable for me, Tian Long, to go. You should let me go! I promise to complete the mission perfectly."

After the woman finished speaking, another young man spoke. He was transformed from the koi in the pond, and his original form was from the Heavenly Dragon Clan.

"Little Earthworm, I think it's better for you to go back to the pond and breed. Don't let Master not have satisfactory fish when he wants to eat them. Then you'll also be a sinner."

"Master, I'm the best at this kind of thing. You should let me go!"

"Old Hen, you should hurry back to your cage and lay eggs obediently! There's a place for you everywhere."

The two immediately started arguing, neither willing to back down. If Mu Feiyang wasn't here, they would probably have started fighting.

"Master, if anyone should go, it should be me! I'm the best at these things."

Just as they were arguing fiercely, a young man in black kneeling at the front said. This young man in black was none other than Little Black in his transformed state.

"Gluttonous Dog, you're always the most active. You always finish everything. This time, it's definitely our turn."

"You should obediently stay home with Master."

"Not bad, not bad. He's usually the most active one. How could there be such a good thing? He finished all the tasks, wouldn't that make us seem completely useless?"

"Exactly!"

"Brother Dog, please let us have this opportunity this time! Guarding the house is your main duty."

It would have been better if Little Black hadn't spoken. The moment he did, everyone started listing his faults, because usually, Mu Feiyang had Little Black do most of the work.

This time, everyone naturally didn't want to let Little Black take on the task again. They all started to resist him, as if he had become a public enemy.
