A fief?
Upon learning that Qian Renxue had a fief, and that aside from choosing to go with Qian Renxue to the Crown Prince's Mansion in Heaven Dou Imperial City, he could also live in the fief and use its manpower to grow Blue Silver Grass, Ye Luo's heart immediately stirred. Without almost any hesitation, he replied directly.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I want to live in your fief."
"Growing Blue Silver Grass is indeed very important to me."
"I hope you can entrust the fief to my management. I need to use the manpower in your fief to help grow Blue Silver Grass."
"Alright! Then I'll take you to my fief first!"
Qian Renxue was not at all surprised by Ye Luo's choice. With a faint smile, she gave an order to the coachman.
"Forget Heaven Dou Imperial City for now. Take Xiao Luo and me to my fief first!"
Two hours later.
The luxurious carriage passed through an unbroken stretch of mountains and forests before finally arriving at a small city.
This small city, along with the hundred-li area surrounding it, all belonged to Swan Territory.
This was the direct fief of every generation of crown princes in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
In order to temper the crown prince's ability to govern, the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire would entrust Swan Territory to the crown prince's management, cultivating and improving the crown prince's administrative ability.
After all, if you could not even manage a fief,
how could you manage an empire in the future?
Qian Renxue also had a castle in Swan Territory. It stood on the outskirts of Swan City, covered an enormous area, and was especially luxurious.
"We're here!"
The luxurious carriage came to a stop before the castle.
With a gentle smile, Qian Renxue lifted the curtain, led Ye Luo down from the carriage, and headed toward the castle before them.
"Xiao Luo, come with me!"
"This is where I live in Swan Territory. You'll be living here from now on."
After getting out of the carriage,
Ye Luo could not help but feel awed when he saw the castle before him. It was surrounded by iron fencing, with gardens, flowerbeds, artificial hills, pavilions, and towers within, looking incomparably grand and magnificent.
Although he had seen magnificent buildings in his previous life,
modern steel-and-concrete buildings still had a different style from the castle before him.
In this life, Ye Luo had always lived in Maple Forest Village, where he saw little besides wooden houses every day.
This was the first time Ye Luo had ever seen such a luxurious and magnificent castle!
After following Qian Renxue into the castle,
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The maids, servants, gardeners, cooks, and other staff they encountered along the way hurriedly bowed upon seeing Qian Renxue and greeted her respectfully.
After gathering all the personnel in the castle,
Qian Renxue extended a hand and introduced Ye Luo.
"This is Ye Luo. He will be living in this castle from now on."
"While I am away, Ye Luo will have full authority over Swan Territory."
"You are to treat him as you would treat me. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, the maids and servants in the castle were deeply shocked. They did not dare show any disrespect and hurriedly answered respectfully.
"Yes! We understand, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Xiao Luo, I still have matters to attend to, so I'll return to Heaven Dou Imperial City first."
"As for the cultivation resources I promised you before, I'll have someone deliver them after I return."
"If you encounter anything in Swan Territory, remember to have someone notify me at the Crown Prince's Mansion."
After announcing Ye Luo's identity and status to the people in the castle,
Qian Renxue smiled and turned to Ye Luo again.
"Alright, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I understand!"
Ye Luo nodded as well.
After watching Qian Renxue ride away in the luxurious carriage under the escort of a group of guards, disappearing at the end of the road,
Ye Luo returned to the castle and had several servants show him around the surrounding area.
He planned to choose a place for cultivation and plant large quantities of Blue Silver Grass around it, creating a place to cultivate the Blue Silver Grass Meditation Method.
Led by several servants, Ye Luo took a look around the forest behind the castle. He quickly found a broad grassland and chose its center as his cultivation site.
Afterward, he had the servants return to gather people and cultivate rings of circular fields around the cultivation site, filling the fields with Blue Silver Grass.
The servants were completely dumbfounded by Ye Luo's order and could not understand it at all.
But Qian Renxue had already shown how highly she regarded Ye Luo at the castle earlier.
Thus, the servants did not dare resist or question Ye Luo in the slightest.
After respectfully agreeing, the servants hurried back to the castle, summoned the other maids, servants, and gardeners, and brought them all to the Back Mountain.
With the cultivation site Ye Luo had designated as the center, they cultivated ring after ring of circular fields and transplanted Blue Silver Grass everywhere.
It had to be said, there was strength in numbers!
Back in Maple Forest Village, Ye Luo had cultivated circular fields alone on the slope of that small mountain for several days.
But this time, with the help of the castle's maids, servants, and gardeners,
in just half a day, they had cultivated more than twenty rings of circular fields around the designated cultivation site and had basically transplanted all the Blue Silver Grass into them.
They had even watered and fertilized it all.
Ye Luo was very satisfied with this.
There probably was not enough time left today.
But tomorrow, they should be able to fill this place with Blue Silver Grass.
That would bring the scale of Blue Silver Grass at this cultivation site up to the level of the one he had in Maple Forest Village.
In the blink of an eye, another four days passed.
Seven days had passed since Qian Renxue's last simulation.
The Simulator had finally finished cooling down again.
After returning to the Crown Prince's Mansion,
because she had been away from the Crown Prince's Mansion for over a month,
Qian Renxue spent several days dealing with all the various matters that had accumulated over that month.
During that time, in accordance with her earlier promise to Ye Luo,
Qian Renxue had someone send a portion of the Spirit Beast ingredients from the Crown Prince's Mansion, along with the Soul Power food made by the food system spirit master, to the castle where Ye Luo lived in Swan Territory.
However, as for the Spirit Beast corpses Ye Luo wanted,
Qian Renxue still needed to negotiate with the nearby Soul Hunting Forests on the surface as the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, but in truth as the Young Master of Martial Soul Hall, before collecting Spirit Beast corpses and sending them to Ye Luo.
That would take some time to arrange.
Meanwhile, at the castle in Swan Territory,
Ye Luo received the Spirit Beast ingredients Qian Renxue had sent, as well as the Soul Power food made by the food system spirit master.
They were all stored inside a bracelet-shaped Storage Soul Tool.
According to the person who delivered them, this bracelet-type Storage Soul Tool was called the Seven Star Ring.
It was also a gift Qian Renxue had given Ye Luo.
This left Ye Luo feeling somewhat conflicted.
Although he had originally only wanted to lie low and cultivate in secret, without following Qian Renxue into the conflict with the protagonist Tang San,
Qian Renxue kept giving him this and that.
Whether it was Spirit Beast Meat, Soul Power food, or a Storage Soul Tool,
these were all things he might not have even encountered within the next ten years.
Of course, there was also this castle and that Soul Crystal Card holding five million Gold Soul Coins.
Damn it! Was Qian Renxue trying to corrupt me with sugar-coated bullets?!
Ye Luo felt incredibly troubled and powerless.
Though he did not want to admit it, as an ordinary person in his previous life, he really fell for this sort of thing!
Thinking of his previous resolve and persistence,
at this moment, Ye Luo could only say one thing: It really does smell good~
