Ling Wu and Mo Qing left, their minds in a whirl, carrying the sword skills Ling Xiao had personally compiled and the Vantia Holy Fruit. Ling Xiao didn't regret giving the Holy Fruit to the two men. As far as he was concerned, managing an army or a city was something he neither excelled at nor had any interest in.
Yet, he lived in this Mortal World, and he had family, friends, and a lover!
Although he and Ye Zi had never been overly intimate, Ling Xiao had, deep down, already accepted this cute little thief. Otherwise, he never would have come to the territory to take her with him. Clearly, Ye Zi's feelings were much the same as Ling Xiao's. She followed him without regret, never once uttering a complaint.
Therefore, he needed immense power. His territory—he would make it the most dazzling jewel in the Lanyue Empire! He would make it so that whenever the nobles spoke of it, they could only express admiration, so much so that they wouldn't even be capable of jealousy!
