Today's first update: Chapter 3497! 1/4!
Building a clan territory—such a paramount matter, concerning a clan's very foundation for survival and the fate tied to its fortune—was both immensely important and immensely complicated!
Not only did it require mastery of formations, earth veins, and construction, it also demanded a profound understanding of the race's characteristics and future direction, along with the coordination of vast resources and personnel. Even if entrusted to the clan's most respected and experienced elders, it would require repeated deliberation and utmost caution.
And now, this mysterious, inscrutable, deeply calculating Huang Lord had casually tossed such a heavy burden onto the two of them—captives? Hostages?
Opponents who had only recently suffered a crushing defeat at his hands and been dismissed by him as "utterly incapable"?
It was simply... simply as absurd as casually handing the Imperial Jade Seal to a child playing by the roadside!
Xu Buwan's long lashes trembled slightly as countless thoughts flashed through her mind. Was this a test? Humiliation? Or some deeper scheme she could not comprehend?
Or perhaps... this Huang Lord truly acted as he pleased to such an extent?
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, yet felt that any words would seem pale at this moment.
In the end, she merely took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her turbulent emotions. Her gaze turned complicated as she looked toward Xu Kun, trying to find even the slightest clue within that hazy radiance that might explain this absurd decision.
Yet she could see through nothing.
Only that deed to the land floated silently in the air, as though wordlessly telling her of a task she had to accept, though she found it difficult to understand.
"Well? This task is arduous enough, isn't it? Do you dare take it on?"
