Southern Sea coast, Heavensea City.
After ten years of construction, a New City covering an area of fifty square kilometers has begun to take shape.
Different from Great Wilderness, it is surrounded by 30-foot-high city walls on all sides. The internal area has been divided, but currently it is only a straw shed or a house built with civil engineering.
The city wall is equipped with defenses Formation Arts, which can block the attacks of Golden Immortal strong men. There is no stronger fortress here.
What's more, Feng Xu gave Heavenly Net and Earthly Web to Jiang Ming.
In these years, Jiang Ming has been busy with the construction of New City and dealing with nearby Human Race. Chen Zhu has been recruiting weaker Demon Race groups nearby.
The early morning wind carried a faint fishy smell, blowing away the sleepiness of the workers.
Chen Zhu took some little demons with him to look for seafood on the beach.
"Mrs. City Lord, are you Dragon Race?"
An old man who had just joined Heavensea City followed behind with his back hunched over.
"What is a dragon?"
"Dragon Race was a powerful clan in ancient times. Although it is now lonely, it still dominates the world."
"I don't know. I have lived in Human Race since I was a child. Apart from the pair of horns on my head, I have no other characteristics of Demon Race. I have never seen a dragon."
"My view of Madam's pair of characters is similar to the dragon I saw by chance. It's just that the dragon is not a human body, and I don't know what it will look like when transformed into a human being."
The old man picked up a crab and put it into his basket, then shook it. The basket swayed against the turtle's back, shaking the crab that almost crawled out.
"Yes or no, what difference does it make? I am still an orphan, Heavensea City is my home."
Chen Zhu With a bright smile, the hard days are over. Although I have been a little busier in recent years, I still enjoy it.
"Ma'am, what you said is wrong."
The old man stroked his beard and quickly scanned the beach with his wrinkled eyes.
"Dragon Race is the lord of the ocean, and he is powerful all over the world. Let's not talk about the big one, let's just say that this Southern Sea is guarded by the dragon king. Southern Sea group of monsters, who would not be proud to worship Dragon Palace. If the lady is Dragon Race, hehe, life will be much easier in the future."
Chen Zhu touched the horns on his head and laughed at himself.
"Dragon Race is so powerful. If I were really Dragon Race, how could I end up living in Human Race?"
"That's true."
Chen Zhu and the old man went to different areas to look for seafood, and some little monsters went directly into the sea.
It's not that Heavensea City is short of food, it's mainly that Chen Zhu has nothing to do in the morning and wants to pick up more and try to help Jiang Ming share some.
Heavensea City There are hundreds of large boats fishing in Nearshore. Part of the income is used for consumption in the city, and part is used to exchange food with the nearby Plains tribe.
In addition to seafood, there are also sea salt, various marine treasures and daily necessities.
The sun moved westward and the beach became extremely hot. Chen Zhu took the little monsters back to Heavensea City.
A huge crab monster poked its head out of the water.
It looked at Chen Zhu in the distance and murmured.
"I found the figure of Dragon Race. It may be the lost dragon son. Report it to the Dragon King immediately."
Inside Heavensea City, Chen Zhu put down the collected seafood and prepared lunch together with more than a hundred people.
There are more than a dozen such large canteens in Heavensea City, and meals are served uniformly in Human Race in the city.
Demon Race have different habits and there are no requirements in this regard.
The Demon Race here are all already enlightened, except for an old turtle named Early True Immortal, who went out with Chen Zhu early in the morning. The rest range from Earth Immortal to Mid Heavenly Immortal.
After lunch, there was an hour's rest, and we continued working in the afternoon. Human Race who built the city worked in three shifts, and Demon Race was responsible for hunting activities outside the fleet. There were also some who used their specialties in building the city.
For example, the stronger crab monster is responsible for transportation, and there is also a sea monster with many flexible tentacles, which can do heavy work as well as fine work.
Ao Qin looked at the huge city in the sky and couldn't help but admire it.
"Little Human Race, it took only a few hundred years to build a city of this size. Humans and monsters live together, and my child may be among them."
He transformed into a middle-aged man and entered through the gate.
The guards were less strict with Human Race. I heard that Plains Human Race came here because of his reputation and stepped aside to give way.
Ao Qin was wandering on the street, observing the layout of the city.
The overall scale is larger than Dragon Palace, and the layout of various places is more reasonable.
"Yes, although it is not as good as Dragon Palace, with Human Race's strength and family background, it is very rare to be able to achieve this level. If I can find some people to help repair Dragon Palace, it will also help me gain face when I gather with other brothers in the future."
Heavensea City The strongest person is Jiang Ming, only Mid True Immortal, no one in Heavensea City notices the existence of Ao Qin. However, Ao Qin can have an unobstructed view of the entire city.
As South Sea Dragon King, his cultivation level is Perfected Mid Great Luo, and he is not far behind in the later stage.
However, after Great Luo, every point of improvement requires a long period of hard work. It is estimated that this gap will take at least hundreds of thousands of years of practice to break through.
Ao Qin soon noticed Chen Zhu who was inspecting various workshops. He saw a pair of dragon horns on the other person's head, and his heart beat wildly.
Found it, finally found it after so many years, my son.
He couldn't wait to recognize the other party, but in order to avoid causing a commotion, he still calmed down.
He walked towards the workshop with a calm and relaxed attitude.
At this time, he was in a state of confusion. Should he recognize each other when we meet later? Should he bring Dragon Palace back immediately? Would this be too abrupt and would it scare the child?
While he was thinking, he had already walked to the workshop area and came to Chen Zhu.
Chen Zhu looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of him and felt a little strange. Out of politeness, he did not drive him away directly.
"Are you the new Human Race? Why did you come to the workshop area? Are you lost?"
The workshop already has enough manpower, and there are no plans to expand recently, so it won't be here for work.
"I'm Human Race who comes from nearby. I didn't know what to do when I entered the city, so I just looked around."
"Well, I see you speak fluently, behave in an orderly manner, and have an extraordinary demeanor. Have you ever studied? If possible, help teach you some words. Heavensea City is still in short supply of scholars."
"Um... yes, I am a scholar. If you need anything, just ask me."
At this time, Ao Qin only felt that she owed the other party, no matter what she wanted, she would agree to it. She completely ignored the fact that she had never read a book and was illiterate.
"That's great!"
Chen Zhu pulled up Ao Qin's sleeves, with a bright smile on his face.
"Sir, please come with me."
Chen Zhu took Ao Qin to the place where Academy was planned.
Academy has not yet been built, there is only a simple Wooden House with various books placed inside.
"Nowadays, manpower and materials are limited. It is estimated that it will take two or three years to temporarily build a simple school. Sir, please take care of these books first and check if there are any missing ones. Make a list and I will ask my husband to prepare it. During this period, wages will be paid and food and accommodation will be provided."
Ao Qin's originally happy heart suddenly skipped a beat.
What did she just say? She has a husband? She is married?
"You... are married?"
Ao Qin confirmed again.
"Yes, my husband is the city lord, and I am the city lord's wife, don't you know?"
Chen Zhu thought that scholars knew more things, so they should know the basic situation of Heavensea City before coming here.
"When did it happen? Who is your husband? Why didn't I know?"
"My husband is the city lord, didn't you hear clearly just now?"
This person is really strange, Chen Zhu complained in his heart. But when he thought about it, this is Southern Sea's frontier after all, and there are too few scholars. His hearing is just bad, it's better than nothing.
"I mean who is the city lord?"
Ao Qin realized that he had lost his temper and calmed down.
"The city lord is Jiang Ming. You are really strange. You say you came here because of fame but you don't know anything."
"I know that New City is under construction here and it is a time when there is a shortage of people, so I came here."
"Okay, let me take you to the dormitory first."
Chen Zhu has not read many books, and his writing skills were taught by Jiang Ming. In order to show respect for scholars, an independent cabin was specially arranged for Ao Qin.
"The conditions are simple, but they will get better in a few years. I hope you don't mind, sir. This is the best room in Heavensea City so far."
"Of course I don't mind."
Ao Qin replied decisively, but when he turned around to scan the room, his eyes were filled with disgust.
I can't imagine how much my child has suffered over the years.
"By the way, I haven't asked sir yet what is your name?"
"My name is Ling Hai, what do you call me madam?"
"My name is Chen Zhu, just call me Zhu'er."
Chen Zhu settled in Ao Qin and continued back to the workshop.
After Ao Qin watched Chen Zhu leave, his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
"Mid True Immortal, is he worthy of marrying my daughter?"
