Chapter 152 (continued)

Unexpectedly, Second-Class Wise One actually contacted him.

Based on its ranking, Kong Shisan is ranked after Kong Shier.

The Lost Space Society has a strict hierarchy, and even a single rank can result in a vast difference in the authority one holds.

But it's better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond.

Sand Fruit King would have a hard time getting ahead under Kong Shier, but that might not be the case under Kong Shisan.

The Bone Peach Mother Tree is at a similar level to him, ranking Kong Shisan among Kong Shisan's disciples. If he performs well, he might break into the top few!

Li Yang accurately and decisively grasped the mindset of the Sand Fruit King.

Now that she's invoked Kong Shisan's name, she won't rush to get close to Sand Fruit King.

The more the Bone Peach Mother Tree put on a cold face, as if she wished the Sand Fruit King would stop contacting her, the more at ease the Sand Fruit King felt.

After all, the Sand Fruit King was a formidable competitor for her.

Although Kong Shisan instructed her to contact the Sand Fruit King, the Bone Peach Mother Tree was only doing it on official business; deep down, she secretly hoped the Sand Fruit King would refuse.

Before Sand Fruit King could reply, Li Yang added, "Since Sand Fruit King is busy, then I won't disturb you any longer."

This message worried Lianxin terribly.

He whispered in his Spirit Sea, "Fellow Daoist, are we not going to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain?"

Li Yang: "..."

It's unclear whether the Sand Fruit King on the other side was fooled or not; she fooled her own Lianlian first.

Lianlian is so easily fooled, which made Li Yang worry: What if she gets tricked away one day?

Li Yang became wary and patiently explained to Lianxin, "This is called a strategic retreat. If we rush to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain, the Sand Fruit King will become suspicious and refuse our visit."

Lianxin was confused and asked worriedly, "What if... the Sand Fruit King really won't let us go?"

Li Yang added, "If we've already hinted at it like this, Sand Fruit King still doesn't want us to visit the Sand Fruit Realm Domain, then even if we beg him, he won't let us go."

Upon hearing this, Lianxin suddenly understood and praised her, "Fellow Daoist is very clever!"

[Lifespan increased by 600 years.]

[Lifespan increased by 600 years.]

Li Yang was completely charmed by Lianxin's cuteness.

She wasn't worried about the reaction from the Sand Fruit King's side.

Just for the title of Sand Fruit King with its more than one thousand digits, he couldn't refuse Kong Shisan's invitation.

As expected, the Sand Fruit King replied quickly this time, and his words were much more sincere.

"Since it's the arrangement of the Thirteen Wise One, I must make time for it, no matter how busy I am. I wonder when the Bone Peach King will come to visit? I'd like to make preparations so as not to be unwelcoming."

Lianxin exclaimed with delight, "The Sand Fruit King has agreed!"

[Lifespan increased by 600 years.]

Li Yang smiled, resisting the urge to hug and crumple the little doll, and replied to Sand Fruit King, "Sand Fruit King, there's no need to force yourself. We Wise One do not like to force others to do things against their will."

If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way.

Since Li Yang had acted as if she didn't really want to go to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain, she had to decline the offer now.

Her refusal made Sand Fruit King feel even more at ease.

Sand Fruit King: "Bone Peach King, what are you saying? If the Sand Fruit Realm Domain weren't so impoverished, I would very much like to personally entertain the Wise One."

Li Yang immediately replied, "Wise One men are busy with countless affairs of state; how could they have time to go to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain!"

Clearly, Sand Fruit King's words were a provocation, implying that if Bone Peach King didn't come, he would directly invite Kong Shisan.

Li Yang, however, decided to play along and said, "There's no time like the present; I'll go now."

Sand Fruit King was quite surprised. "Now?"

Li Yang adopted a haughty attitude, saying, "Sand Fruit King need not prepare anything. Wise One wants to see is the most authentic state of the Sand Fruit Realm Domain. If you prepare too much, it will only increase the difficulty of my work."

Li Yang didn't want things to get complicated.

Her reasoning was so persuasive that Sand Fruit King had no reason to doubt her.

Kong Shisan arranged for the Bone Peach Mother Tree to go to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain: firstly, he wanted her to have a private chat with the Sand Fruit King (after all, there were spies behind the communicator); secondly, he also wanted the Bone Peach Mother Tree to investigate the Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

If Kong Shisan wants to bring the Sand Fruit King under his command, he will inevitably have to offend Kong Shier. Therefore, he needs to consider whether the Sand Fruit Realm Domain is worth offending a Wise One ranked higher than himself.

Li Yang didn't need to explain these things further; Sand Fruit King understood them perfectly well.

After a moment's thought, the Sand Fruit King said, "In that case, I await the arrival of the Bone Peach King."

Lianxin became worried again and asked, "Fellow Daoist, the Sand Fruit Realm Domain has a large and powerful population. Will you be able to go alone...?"

"Of course I can't go alone," Li Yang said. "As the king of the Bone Peach Domain, I naturally need attendants to serve me."

Li Yang contacted Li Yaowan.

Li Yaowan: "Qing Teng is in the Heavenly Palace. I'll have her organize a team to go with you to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain."

For the past 28 years, Qing Teng has been responsible for monitoring and protecting Lu Yanbie.

Now that her mission is successfully completed, she has long since returned to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

Li Yaowan explained it to her, and Qing Teng immediately said, "Leave it to me. It's a good opportunity to try out the Ancestor's newly developed Disguise Pill!"

For the Star Wielders of Huaxia, Disguise Pill are a very high-value consumable.

Let alone intelligence agents like Qing Teng, even ordinary Huaxia Star Wielders must prepare Disguise Pill once they leave the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

The Bone Peach Clan has been wiped out by Li Yang.

While developing the Jade Peach Tree, Li Yaowan's research institute also figured out the characteristics of the Bone Peach Clan.

Li Yaowan recently developed Disguise Pill for the Bone Peach Clan...

Even if Grandmaster saw it, he might not be able to see the clues.

Although the Sand Fruit Clan is particularly sensitive to the Star Aperture of Huaxia (which they have been using to besiege and kill low-level Star Wielders of Huaxia for years), Qing Teng had already condensed their Star Soul.

In non-combat situations, it is difficult for the Sand Fruit Clan to distinguish their race through their Star Soul.

Li Yang won't bring too many people.

The ten-person team of Qing Teng is just right.

After learning about the number of people and their cultivation levels in the group from the Bone Peach Mother Tree, the Sand Fruit King felt more at ease, but he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

What exactly is this Bone Peach Mother Tree?

The entire Bone Peach Domain's rank is only at the third or fourth grade, far inferior to that of the Sand Fruit Clan!

Thanks to Kong Shisan's favoritism, the Bone Peach Mother Tree managed to advance to the Sixth Grade Realm Peak and even gained a Fifth Grade Realm personal guard.

The Sand Fruit King's personal guard was also composed entirely of members at the Fifth Grade Realm, numbering in the dozens.

The resources of the Sand Fruit Realm Domain are hundreds or even thousands of times richer than those of the Bone Peach Domain.

However, the Star Wielders cultivated was not much greater than that of the Bone Peach Domain!

This made the Sand Fruit King very unwilling.

This further fueled his desire to switch to Kong Shisan.

The Sand Fruit King had suspected that the Bone Peach Mother Tree might have ulterior motives, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

The Bone Peach Mother Tree's cultivation level is similar to his. Even if she has a Fifth Grade Realm guard, it's overestimating her abilities to run rampant in the Sand Fruit Realm Domain!

Kong Shisan has no need to forcibly seize the Sand Fruit Realm Domain —as long as he takes the Sand Fruit King as his Disciple, the Sand Fruit Realm Domain will naturally fall under his name.

As for the claim that the Bone Peach Mother Tree was played by Huaxia person...

Even if you gave Sand Fruit King ten more brains, he still couldn't imagine it.

The members of the Qing Teng Squad were all very curious about Li Yang.

Nowadays, the Star Wielders of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace immediately associate Li Yang's name with the fallen Wang Gexiao.

Don't underestimate Li Yang just because she's only at the Fifth Grade Realm; what she's done... even Ninth-Grade Supreme being can't compare!

The former minor students in the Department of the Nature Department, in particular, held her in the highest esteem.

Over the years, Nature Pavilion has been completely controlled by Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, and they can do nothing about it. They feel guilty and sad, and in the end, they can only rage in vain.

Looking at Li Yang, he not only reclaimed the Nature Pavilion, but also exposed the traitor hiding in the Wang Family and brought him to justice!

Just thinking about the scene of Marquis of Mirror Bamboo and Wang Gexiao parading through the streets is truly gratifying.

Li Yang's reputation soared.

Currently, Star Core have not yet entered the Huaxia market in large quantities.

Once it officially goes on sale, Li Yang's name will likely become a household name throughout Huaxia!

Qing Teng introduced the team members to Li Yang.

Li Yang addressed them politely as "senior sister" and "senior brother".

Qing Teng covered her mouth and laughed, "Little Martial Aunt, they are all my juniors, they should call you Grandmaster Martial Aunt!"

Li Yang: "..."

The members of Qing Teng couldn't help but chuckle, "Our grandmaster's seniority is too high!"

Someone else said, "Let's get into character quickly. Our Grandmaster is going to play the Bone Peach Mother Tree, so we can just call her the Mother King!"

This is the traditional name of the Bone Peach Clan.

As the queen of the Bone Peach Bone Peach Clan Bone Peach Mother Tree is also the mother of the Bone Peach Clan, so almost all Bone Peach Clan call her the Mother King.

Upon hearing these two words, Li Yang was momentarily confused, unsure whether it was "Grandmaster" or "Mother King," which made things even more awkward.

Whether it's the Grandmaster or the Mother King, they're all too strange!

Although Li Yang has lived two lives, he is only about 20 years old at most, and he really doesn't deserve this title.

However... if we include the lifespan lost to Sister Longevity, then Li Yang...

Forget about being called a grandmaster, she's practically a supreme ancestor!

To their utter surprise, the biggest hurdle of their trip was how they were addressed.

As the Qing Teng Squad called out "Mother King" repeatedly, Li Yang felt extremely uncomfortable.

Even with her excellent acting skills, she can't get into character right now.

Qing Teng chuckled and said, "How about we go to a small Realm Domain with a different time zone and familiarize ourselves with it for three to five months?"

Li Yang felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.

The image of being called "Mother King" by ten of them for three to five months in a row... is terrifying!

Li Yang said, "That's fine. Everyone's just accompanying us, there's no need for us to say anything, just follow along."

Everyone thought about it and agreed, and they were all somewhat disappointed.
