The Ways of the World...

"Getting better and better... Lai Lai Lai... Getting better and better... Lai Lai Lai Lai..."

Early in the morning, Chu Xinghe walked out of the cafeteria after a light breakfast, humming a little tune all the way, looking quite cheerful...

Ma Liang followed closely behind Senior Brother Xinghe, constantly explaining to him the current quantity of resources in their Vast Heaven Holy Land...

What the hell? Aren't you worried about Ma Liang backstabbing you this time?

Chu Xinghe said, "What am I worried about...?"

This isn't about me, Chu Xinghe, looking down on Ma Liang... just tell me what this has to do with Ma Liang!

This is a gift from our Vast Heaven Holy Land to the Wuj iang a token of gratitude for their marriage, and I, Chu Xinghe, have asked almost every elder I could in a short period of time...

I am absolutely certain that the "thank you gift" policy does not include any mention of returning resources.

In other words, our Vast Heaven Holy Land is only responsible for sending them out; Wuj iang doesn't need to give us anything at all!

What the heck? What if Wuj iang insists on returning?

As the person specifically responsible for carrying out this gift of gratitude, does Wuj iang Chu Xinghe still want to return the resources?

No way!

First of all, there is no such rule. If the Wuj iang Holy Mother really doesn't understand the rules and insists on giving it to me, I, Chu Xinghe, will definitely refuse her firmly at the first opportunity!

This time we'll only give the Wuj iang resources; they can forget about taking even a single resource from us!

I, Chu Xinghe, am putting this out there: our Vast Heaven Holy Land is doomed! No one can change our minds!

So you're telling me how Ma Liang betrayed me, Chu Xinghe?

Ma Liang was just a tool in this whole affair; do you understand what a tool is?

Could a mere tool really betray me?

It's really hard to calculate exactly how many resources Vast Heaven Holy Land has right now, because each palace has different industries, plus all sorts of other resources... It would be extremely difficult to accurately calculate even one-tenth of them.

Chu Xinghe said that this was not difficult at all!

When I, Chu Xinghe, said one-tenth, it was just a concept... We have no reason to actually calculate one-tenth...

Come, come... all the treasure troves on that left... don't worry about what's inside... follow my gaze, pack up all the treasure troves on that hilltop on the left and prepare to give them to Wuj iang...

Forget it... let's not keep the piece on the right either, it makes us look stingy. Let's just give the one on the right away too...

As for the Blood Spirit Stones... there's no need to calculate exactly how many there are, just go to the Beast Taming Palace and move them... when you've moved them until Douding'er comes crying to you saying that she doesn't have enough Blood Spirit Stones and it's affecting the progress, that's about it!

There's no need to calculate the other Nine-Colored Spirit Stones too much. Just take the Spirit Crane Palace as a unit, and you'll have enough resources for about fifteen Spirit Crane Palaces...

As for other pills and such... go find Mu Bai and take them from Mu Bai... take them until Mu Bai can speak like a human being and doesn't even speak Versailles anymore!

As for the Artifact Refining Palace... you don't need to worry about whether Ouyang Ming agrees or not... just arrange for people to move it... when Ouyang Ming's side stops eating cold noodles while moving it, that'll be about right!

When we say one-tenth, it doesn't necessarily mean it's really one-tenth...

After all, given the total amount of resources in our Vast Heaven Holy Land, who the hell can give us a specific figure...? You don't even know the total amount, how can you calculate what one-tenth is?

So there's no need to worry about the details, just keep moving things...

We won't stop until we've completely stunned the Wuj iang!

Just as Chu Xinghe was busily arranging for people to pack up various resources... Zheng Yu arrived...

Upon hearing the news of Zheng Yu's arrival, Chu Xinghe was stunned, but Chu Xinghe quickly realized why Zheng Yu had come.

Although Ma Liang did not arrange for a large-scale public announcement of the news that his Senior Brother Feng Fei had a daughter, Ma Liang did inform the major powers of the Three Continents privately through various methods as soon as possible.

Zheng Yu arrived at the Vast Heaven Holy Land precisely because he received news from Ma Liang... and could he possibly come empty-handed for something like this?

Good heavens... Look at all those truckloads of resources and treasures, they brought tears to Chu Xinghe's eyes.

You Ma Liang, you're supposed to be a tool! You're a tool, so tell me, what are you doing right now?

Chu Xinghe initially intended to refuse all the congratulatory gifts Zheng Yu sent... but Zheng Yu's Chu Xinghe completely stunned him.

"Senior Brother Xinghe... these gifts aren't for the Vast Heaven Holy Land, they're small gifts from me Zheng Yu, for the child... for the child..."

This directness from the child left Chu Xinghe speechless...

Look at the resources Zheng Yu brought in, they don't look like they're for a child at all... If these gifts Zheng Yu sent were really for little Feng Yuqing, then let's just say that even if Feng Yuqing started cultivating right now while still breastfeeding, she probably wouldn't be able to use them all before she turned fifty!

And it wasn't just Ma Liang; in a short period of time, all the major sects in the world, as well as the Demon Star Continent... the Spirit Beast Continent, and even the Demonic Sect, sent congratulatory gifts...

There's no way around it... If it were just the birth of a child of a core disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, then perhaps families would send small gifts out of courtesy, but Feng Fei is different...

Is Feng Fei just an ordinary core disciple?

Feng Fei's current status in the Vast Heaven Holy Land needs no further explanation. No matter what force you are involved in, if you want to cooperate with the Vast Heaven Holy Land, you absolutely cannot bypass Feng Fei.

Moreover, not only Feng Fei, Jiuli also represents Wuj iang in a sense, as many materials can only be produced in Wuj iang.

Therefore, whether it's because of Feng Fei's Future status in the Vast Heaven Holy Land or because of Jiuli, it's impossible for any party to remain silent after learning that they have a daughter.

In terms of interpersonal relationships and social interactions, Ma Liang now has a firm grasp on them.

Don't be fooled by the countless resources and gifts these people bring after receiving the news. Those who actually received Ma Liang's message aren't at all unhappy about giving up these resources; they're actually quite willing to do so...

Ma Liang stated that he did not disclose this information to the public, and those who received the news were basically forces with good relations with the Vast Heaven Holy Land...

In response to Ma Liang's statement, Chu Xinghe kicked him and said, "Come on Ma Liang, you bastard, explain yourself! If everyone here is on good terms with our Vast Heaven Holy Land, then why is Tantai Jing here too?"

What's going on? Our Vast Heaven Holy Land has gotten so close to the Demonic Sect lately?

Regarding this issue, Ma Liang replied, "Senior Brother Xinghe, it's true that I provided the information from the other factions, but I definitely didn't provide the information from Tantai Jing's side... As you know, the Demonic Sect's various demonic businesses have now expanded to all Three Continents, and I heard that they've recently started preparing and formulating a Future plan for demonic business coverage in the Evil Shadow Continent..."

Therefore, the Demonic Sect is quite well-informed in terms of information, so Tantai Jing arrived as soon as he received the news...

After all, the Demonic Sect controls 30% of the Blood Spirit Stones. Demonic Sect really don't dare offend us now. Otherwise, if Senior Brother Feng Fei were to slightly delay the Demonic Sect's supply, even if they didn't refuse, just a three- to five-month delay would result in a huge amount of interest Demonic Sect on them...

Chu Xinghe: "..."

The Divine Dagger Ma Liang will always be the Divine Dagger Ma Liang; even as a tool, this guy will never be at peace.

As Ma Liang used various methods to inform the major powers, soon... not only these major powers, but basically the entire Three Continents knew that Feng Fei had a daughter.

Unfortunately... Ma Liang didn't inform many people; only some major powers received the news. But don't forget... these major powers also have intricate connections with other powers.

Ma Liang's side has a knack for social skills and connections; can other factions afford to be without them?

Therefore, other factions, upon receiving the news, immediately informed those with whom they had good relations...

As for those forces that had good relations with the major powers, they informed their allies after receiving the news. So, in just a few days, although Vast Heaven Holy Land did not announce it to the public, the entire Three Continents now knew that Feng Fei of Vast Heaven Holy Land and Jiuli had a daughter.

So in just a few days, not only did all the major forces come to Vast Heaven Holy Land to offer their congratulations, but basically every force that was known throughout the Three Continents also came...

And so be it, all the various factions have basically prepared all sorts of valuable gifts...

Chu Xinghe had no choice but to accept these gifts, because that comment about giving gifts to children was truly insane...

Chu Xinghe did a simple calculation: the congratulatory gifts from all sides combined would be enough to exhaust Feng Yuqing's resources for the rest of her life, let alone keep her going until she's fifty!

This time, Chu Xinghe truly understood what it meant to be born with a silver spoon in one's mouth.

What do you mean by "starting line"... While you're still arguing about fairness at the starting line, some people are already the referees from birth...

Facing these people who would send Feng Yuqing directly to the referee's position without a second thought, Chu Xinghe showed that he was not flustered at all!

What's the panic!

Although the gifts they sent seem numerous, they are nothing compared to what our Vast Heaven Holy Land is going to give to Wuj iang!

It's nothing... So this seemingly malicious attack by Ma Liang, which appeared to be an attempt to backstab me Chu Xinghe, didn't even scratch me... it didn't even pierce my skin!

The Vast Heaven Holy Land naturally held a grand banquet to entertain those who came to offer congratulations. During the banquet, Chu Xinghe also wondered if he should prepare some small gifts to mitigate the losses.

But after thinking it over, Chu Xinghe didn't do that. The previous times he had given out small gifts, what happened? These bastards would always ask for more and more at the slightest disagreement... In the end, not only did he not lose money on the small gifts he gave out, but he also made a killing.

So this time, I, Chu Xinghe, will do nothing. I'll just go all out with the hospitality. Your gifts are quite generous, but compared to the gratitude gifts from my Vast Heaven Holy Land, what are they?

With Chu Xinghe's wedding gift in hand, I have no idea what defeat is!
