Arriving with Her People

The terrifying yield per mu in the Jiang Kingdom shocked the Great Qian Kingdom.

Upon discovering this, he immediately planted the seeds brought back by his scouts.

He wanted to test whether these seeds could actually produce such a terrifying yield per acre.

If possible, he would continue planting.

After all, the things in superstition are only what he has seen.

But whether that's the truth or not, he'll have to see it for himself.

"Only..."

If the Human Sovereign of the Jiang Kingdom ascended to the throne by relying on this thing, then the defense of the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings is likely to be in big trouble this time.

Thinking of this, the Great Qian Kingdom frowned slightly, feeling that the situation was somewhat different from what he had expected.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Forget it, if they can't hold on, that's their problem. In the end, it's their dynasty that will suffer, and it has nothing to do with me.

With that thought in mind, he decided to ignore the matter and instead see if the seeds he obtained from the other party could grow into such a large crop.

Jiang Kingdom.

Inside the massive steel mill, Fang Weiyan watched as molten iron flowed out continuously, feeling the immense heat before him.

The steel plant is already operational, and so far things seem to be going very well.

The steelmaking technology on Earth was already quite advanced, and now that it's being used here, the technology has instantly achieved a breakthrough.

Seeing that the workers beside him were already quite skilled at their work, Fang Weiyan stopped watching.

After turning and leaving the steel mill, Fang Weiyan glanced at the shipyard one last time.

Although one can purchase ships in their own world, Fang Weiyan felt that the necessary abilities were indispensable.

Furthermore, this should be somewhat related to the improvement of national strength.

After all, one is something you own and the other is something you bought; there are bound to be some differences between the two.

At the shipyard, thanks to some equipment provided by Fang Weiyan, they are now able to produce some small boats, albeit barely.

Although it's not very advanced, it's still quite useful for the Jiang Kingdom at present.

After completing his inspection, Fang Weiyan returned to the palace.

Before Fang Weiyan could even sit down, Weiwei rushed over, "Your Majesty, the peaches are ripe!"

At this moment, Weiwei could be described as extremely excited.

Seeing his excited expression, Fang Weiyan was somewhat puzzled. The peaches were just ripe; why was he so happy?

He didn't seem to say he would reward the other person with peaches, did he?

Oh right, the other party did help quell the rebellion at Heavenly Dew Mountain last time, and he hasn't rewarded them yet.

So, does the other party want to taste the immortal peach?

Or do you want to improve your cultivation level?

Fang Weiyan was a little puzzled, but still walked towards the Imperial Garden under Weiwei's urging gaze.

"It's just that the peaches are ripe, why are you so happy?"

Fang Weiyan asked questions, he also entered the Imperial Garden.

Looking up now, you can see that the peach tree next to you is full of fruit, each huge fruit so heavy it seems to bend the branches.

"His Majesty has arrived, shall we pick the peaches now?"

Tao Lingluo, who was standing to the side, was overjoyed to see Fang Weiyan arrive.

After picking the peaches, she could begin using one of the peach trees as her body.

Seeing Tao Lingluo's delighted expression, Fang Weiyan understood her thoughts and stopped wondering why Weiwei was so happy.

They assumed the other person was also so agitated because of Tao Lingluo.

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan nodded and then began to pick the peaches.

A moment later, Fang Weiyan had picked all the peaches.

Looking at the basket full of peaches, feeling its weight in his hands, Fang Weiyan couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, you can choose any of the remaining peach trees."

Fang Weiyan accepted the peaches and prepared to leave.

Upon seeing this, Weiwei felt a sudden urgency; this was quite different from what she had expected.

"Emperor..."

Seeing that Fang Weiyan was about to leave, Weiwei quickly called out to Fang Weiyan, and then, under Fang Weiyan's questioning gaze, said somewhat shyly.

"Your Majesty, please have a peach now."

She wanted to see if these peaches really could prolong life, just as Fang Weiyan had said.

If Fang Weiyan eats it, she'll know whether it's true or not.

Fang Weiyan stopped in his tracks, looking at the other person's pleading expression with great confusion. "Why? I've already eaten this peach."

"Have eaten?"

Tao Lingluo was taken aback upon hearing this; she knew nothing about it. When had the Emperor ever eaten it?

"Yes, we already ate it a while ago."

Fang Weiyan replied affirmatively, "If it can extend lifespan, Fang Weiyan must have already consumed it before."

"Then I humbly request Your Majesty to have another one, since you'll have to eat them eventually, won't you..."

Upon hearing this, Tao Lingluo took a deep breath and said.

Although she didn't know when the Emperor had eaten a peach, she couldn't think about it anymore at the moment. She could only hope that Fang Weiyan would eat one more.

Fang Weiyan felt a little strange, but seeing Weiwei's pleading look, he sighed and nodded.

Immediately, Fang Weiyan took a peach from the fruit basket and ate it right in front of the other person.

A moment later, Fang Weiyan finished eating the peach in his hand.

He then tossed the peach pit toward Tao Lingluo, saying, "Remember to plant this one too."

"Yes."

Tao Lingluo immediately responded upon hearing this.

At this moment, Weiwei stepped forward and grabbed Fang Weiyan's wrist with an extremely excited expression.

"Lifespan has really increased..."

Weiwei stared at Fang Weiyan with disbelief.

As someone with the ability to pray for blessings, she was naturally able to sense the changes in Fang Weiyan at this moment.

She could genuinely feel Fang Weiyan's lifespan increase.

This filled her with immense joy and delight.

"What, you want these peaches? Didn't you say before that you might need something in the future, and wanted these?"

Seeing the other person's expression, Fang Weiyan frowned, thinking that the other person wanted the immortal peaches. Upon seeing this, Fang Weiyan immediately handed over the fruit basket in his hand.

It indicates to the other person that they can take whatever they want.

It's just a few peaches; Fang Weiyan could easily afford to give them.

After all, the other party was a master of the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, and Fang Weiyan felt it was worthwhile to use this to bribe him.

However, Weiwei quickly shook her head upon hearing this.

Although the peach could temporarily alleviate the crisis for her sisters.

But that cannot truly resolve their crisis.

To truly resolve this, the Mountain Spirit Clan must be made to face the Human Tribulation.

Thinking of this, Weiwei stood up. "Your Majesty, I wish to take a trip. I will be back soon."

"Granted."

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan waved his hand, showing no intention of making things difficult for the other party.

With skills like that, there was no need to ask him anything; he could have just left.

Fang Weiyan responded, and Weiwei quickly stood up to take her leave.

After Weiwei left, Fang Weiyan turned his gaze to Tao Lingluo, "What happened to her?"

Fang Weiyan asked with a hint of curiosity.

He sensed something was very wrong with the other person's behavior just now.

I have absolutely no idea what's wrong with Weiwei.

Why would someone get this excited over receiving a single peach?

Upon hearing this, Tao Lingluo quickly shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

At this moment, she was completely focused on selecting peach trees, checking which tree had the best trunk.

Fang Weiyan was speechless at the sight. This guy.

They usually take care of the peach tree together, so how come after spending so much time together, they don't even know a single thing about each other?

Somewhat speechless, but considering that Tao Lingluo's eyes were filled with the image of the peach tree in front of her, Fang Weiyan didn't ask any more questions and turned to leave the Imperial Garden.

Weiwei quickly left Yanhuai City and arrived at a hilltop near the Yanhuai City a moment later.

After surveying the area from all sides, the location was quickly determined.

Weiwei quickly located her sisters' positions.

"Weiwei!"

The Mountain Spirit Clan, who had been hiding, immediately flew out after noticing Weiwei's arrival.

Upon seeing their sister, they all smiled.

Their sisters were naturally very happy to have arrived.

I have good news!

At that moment, Weiwei didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with them; upon meeting them, she immediately delivered the good news.

"The peaches on that tree are ripe. I've personally inspected them and confirmed that these peaches can prolong life!"

At this moment, Weiwei, panting, was telling the people around her about her discovery.

Everyone was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then their faces were filled with disbelief.

"Are you sure it's true?"

"How is this possible! Can there really be such miraculous peaches?"

Upon hearing this, although everyone was somewhat prepared, they still couldn't help but feel a sense of disbelief.

After all, this is a peach tree that can prolong life!

"It's absolutely true. I personally watched the Emperor eat it and I checked it myself. The person's lifespan has indeed increased! Given our capabilities, you should be able to trust me,"

Seeing the incredulous looks on everyone's faces, Weiwei understood.

After all, if someone had told her something like this before, she wouldn't have believed it.

Just like when she saw the peach tree before, Fang Weiyan had told her something, and she hadn't believed it at the time.

However, right now, she felt that this was absolutely believable!

Because she has already checked it herself!

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, still feeling a sense of disbelief as they looked at the extremely excited Weiwei.

"If that's really the case, then is there truly hope for our Mountain Spirit Clan?"

"Weiwei is unlikely to lie to us. Since Weiwei has said so, we can believe it."

"In that case, shall we go to the Jiang Kingdom palace now to face the calamity?"

After a brief moment of skepticism, the crowd quickly grew excited once they accepted the idea.

After all, this concerns himself and his people.

Now that this is confirmed, how could I not be excited and thrilled?

Upon hearing this, Weiwei's face lit up with a smile.

"Of course, if you're ready, I'll take you to the palace right now."

Weiwei took a deep breath. The thought that her people would soon be saved made her eager to spread the news to all her clansmen.

Therefore, they hoped that all their clansmen would come to the Jiang Kingdom immediately.

Upon hearing this, the tribespeople exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement.

Now that things have come to this, there's no reason to refuse anymore.

Besides, they trusted Weiwei's words.

With this in mind, the group immediately flew towards the palace under Weiwei's guidance.

A moment later, a group of women arrived outside the Imperial Study.

Fang Weiyan had already noticed that a lot of people had arrived outside the palace by this time.

Upon noticing this, Fang Weiyan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and immediately stepped out.

When he saw Weiwei, and then glanced at the group of women behind her, he couldn't help but pause in surprise.

"This is...?"

Fang Weiyan looked at Weiwei with a hint of doubt. These people all seemed to be from the Mountain Spirit Clan, right?

So many Mountain Spirit?

Did they just go to find their own people?

"Your Majesty, these are all my clansmen, and I hope they will all submit to your command."

Seek refuge with one's own?

Fang Weiyan was even more puzzled upon hearing this.

If it were just Weiwei, even if the other party was a master of the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, Fang Weiyan believed he could handle her.

But the fact that so many Mountain Spirit had come to him willingly to pledge allegiance made Fang Weiyan feel uneasy.

After all, if these guys all became experts like Weiwei, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to control them, right?

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan couldn't help but frown.

Why?

Fang Weiyan's expression turned serious. Even if the other party was extremely powerful, subduing him would be a good thing for him.

However, to ensure the safety of his palace, Fang Weiyan felt he still needed to be cautious.

"Your Majesty, I have observed you for some time now and believe you are a person I can entrust with my affairs. That is why I have summoned other members of my clan, wishing to pledge allegiance to Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty's permission."

Seeing this, Weiwei quickly offered an explanation.

Fang Weiyan remained unmoved upon hearing this, "Are you perhaps hiding something?"

Fang Weiyan stared at Weiwei, thinking about what she had done before, insisting that he eat a peach.

They were only willing to bring their people after they had finished eating.

Increase lifespan...

Fang Weiyan realized the key point, and then a flash of inspiration struck him—that's it!

The Mountain Spirit Clan possess the ability to grant blessings; they can help extend the lifespan of the recipient!

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Could it be that there's some connection between the two?

Upon hearing Fang Weiyan's question, Weiwei's face immediately showed difficulty, and she hesitated somewhat.

But after a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since His Majesty possesses the Immortal Peach, he surely doesn't need us to pray for him."

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan's face showed a look of sudden realization.

That's exactly right.

It seems that offering blessings to others for no reason does come at a price.

Moreover, the cost should be extremely high, which is why Weiwei is so wary of it.

Only after realizing that he no longer needed to pray for blessings did he agree to bring his people to seek refuge with him.
