Chapter 1412 - 53: Zongkun’s Blissful Life as a Fish

At this moment, Wang Shouzhe, Emperor Longchang, Jiang Zhencang, and others were already waiting here.

As Yuling, Wang Fugui, and Yvun Mengyu entered the top floor.

Wang Shouzhe personally stepped forward to greet, "True Monarch and Little Princess, your presence graces us, I apologize for the inadequate reception, forgive my oversight."

"Patriarch Shouzhe!" Yuling True Monarch also looked Wang Shouzhe up and down, "Hearing is not as good as seeing, I’ve long admired you." Despite Yuling True Monarch’s esteemed status, she knew that this Wang Shouzhe is no ordinary man.

After a round of pleasantries.

Wang Shouzhe said, "Fugui, the Little Princess’s suite is next door, you take her to have a look around, introduce its features."

"Yes, Ancestor Grandpa. Great Emperor Grandpa, Saint Master Grandpa, Elder Yuling, I’m off now." Wang Fugui obediently led Yvun Mengyu to the suite next door.

After the children had left, the adults began to engage in some casual chatter before getting to the main topic.

"Fugui is truly a good kid." Yuling True Monarch couldn’t help but laugh, "It’s just the name, lacks some immortal aura."

Wang Shouzhe also looked helpless, "In our Wang Family, we have a generational name with the character ’Fu’, you can’t really skip it, can you? Fugui is actually over a hundred individuals in the Fu generational line, but my brothers from the direct vein specifically left the ’Gui’ character for this, I had no choice but to use it."

"What’s wrong with the name?" Emperor Longchang chuckled, "My Fugui is fortune and grandeur itself, always particularly close to me from a young age, truly a smart lad."

This is your insistence on taking the child, right?

Wang Shouzhe scowled in annoyance, Fugui is quite a nice kid, but under his influence, his walk and posture are like no ordinary child’s. Wherever he goes, he exudes an old-fashioned aura, and even has a penchant for meddling...

"What are you glaring at? Did I not do well in raising Fugui?" Emperor Longchang clashed again with Wang Shouzhe.

"Let’s talk business first, you can argue slowly later." Jiang Zhencang coughed twice, changing the subject, "This time concerning the Blood Venerable relic and Blood Child Demon Monarch, the timing is nearly right, it’s time to prepare the snare. Yuling True Monarch, it’s thanks to you for coming to assist."

"It’s fitting, the True Demon Hall and my Immortal Palace are inherently incompatible, they dare to meddle in our Immortal Dynasty Camp’s territory, naturally we can’t let them have their way." Yuling True Monarch said, "Patriarch Shouzhe’s plan, I already have a rough understanding. Now, there’s a problem, the frontlines are already at this stage, Western Jin and Southern Qin are unable to stir up any major waves."

"With Longchang and Old Jiang going over so inexplicably, now even though Blood Child Demon Monarch is in disarray, suspicions will arise."

"True Monarch has keen insight." Wang Shouzhe praised, "But for this matter, I’ve already made arrangements. True Monarch, rest for a few days, and then there’ll be news."

"Alright." Yuling True Monarch was straightforward, "Then I’ll await eagerly."

...

Meanwhile.

Longzuo County.

Qingluo Guard.

On the vast and boundless blue sea surface, buoys faded by wind and sun and corroded by seawater crisscross, dividing the sea into large square grids.

From afar, between the large square grids, stand numerous colorful square buildings, scattered like stars, orderly and neat.

By closer inspection, those buildings stand atop square foundations, unaffected by the wind, unshaken by the waves, as stable as a mountain.

These are maritime bases jointly developed by Qingluo Joint Development Department and Wang’s Artifact Refining Headquarters.

Only a small part of the base is exposed above the sea, most remain submerged beneath the surface, firmly anchored at sea most of the time, with no fear of capsizing even during rough weather, and can slowly navigate like a ship when needed.

They hover like floating islands on the ocean, providing accommodations, meals, hot water, and venues for gatherings for the fishery staff, connecting a complete social network.

These marine fish farms are isolated on the sea. Without these ocean bases, just the long-term loneliness could drive the ordinary people and Black Tortoise Cultivators on the grassroots mad, not to mention the usual farming operations.

At the break of dawn.

The radiant morning glow dyed the sea in splendid colors, the surging waves licked the bases of the platforms, splashing white foam-like waves.

On the long floating boards surrounding the base, several burly Qi Refining Cultivators carried a gigantic wooden barrel bigger than a person, walking briskly.

Inside the barrel, was packed full of fish feed.

They wore only the simplest tank tops, yet the materials were far from cheap, made from quality fabrics, with their arms exposed, tanned and sturdy, exuding a sense of strength.

The sea breeze fluttered their hair, and the rolling waves made the floating boards beneath them fluctuate, yet they remained unaffected, stepping steadily, walking briskly.

Suddenly.

Ripples spread on the nearby sea surface, a silver fish leaped amidst the splashes, rushing towards the men.

One of them, quick-eyed and deft, swiftly reached out and grabbed the tail of the silver fish, then effortlessly tossed it back into the net enclosure.

This entire expanse of fish farms belong to the Wang Family, bringing considerable revenue to the Wang Family each year.

The surrounding net enclosures host Tier One to Tier Two sea creature fierce beasts, highly active in the nets, with immense power, occasionally attacking silhouettes on the surface. An ordinary person hit by a fish could easily sustain fractures, and falling into the sea among those fierce fish beasts might even lead to being surrounded and attacked.
