Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 212 - 213 : Cultivation finished.

"Lily, stop talking nonsense. If you want to form an alliance with our Dragon Anvil, you need to see if the other party has the strength for it!"

At this moment, Xirwei finally spoke. She scolded Lily and then turned her gaze toward Lin Lie:

"So, you're the highest authority in Yan Nation? You've cultivated two gold-based Dao bodies and one fire-based Dao body. Your cultivation isn't bad, but you're seriously injured, just barely holding on here."

"Your real strength now probably isn't much stronger than a Seventh Realm martial artist, right? If you're the king of Yan Nation, I truly worry about the future of your country!"

"You've already seen through my strength..."

Lin Lie's pupils contracted as he realized that the newcomer was no ordinary person, but his momentum remained unyielding:

"I'm just an ordinary person. How dare I claim to be king? Our monarch is busy and can't meet visitors right now. Please leave, both of you..."

He couldn't say the monarch was in seclusion, as it's the most dangerous time for a grandmaster to be in seclusion and shouldn't be disturbed by outsiders.

"Heh, after coming all this way, why should we leave so easily?" Xirwei casually said, then called out: "Let's go, Lily, let's stay in the capital for a while and have a good time."

To be honest, Xirwei had already lost interest in Yan Nation. She had come to the capital, only to be stopped by a severely injured grandmaster.

Given Yan Nation's talent pool... forming an alliance with such a country would be like inviting disaster.

The usually shrewd king had really made a foolish move this time!

But since they were here, they might as well make the most of it. Besides, the capital seemed interesting.

Let's play for a bit before leaving.

"Sir, whenever your king is free, please let him come find me." After speaking, Xirwei grabbed Lily's hand, and the two disappeared in a flash of light.

Lin Lie frowned, the situation had become troublesome...

A foreign grandmaster had entered the capital so openly, and he could do nothing about it.

"Sigh..." Lin Lie sighed helplessly as he slowly descended to the ground.

...

A few days later, since Xirwei arrived in the capital, the entire Southern Town Protectorate was on high alert, with everyone busy day and night.

Just to monitor Xirwei's movements, the Protectorate mobilized a lot of manpower.

If the enemy came and started a massacre, these grandmasters might have to fight back with everything they had, even if it meant mutual destruction.

But Xirwei didn't do that. The two of them seemed to be tourists in a foreign country, sightseeing and eating in the capital, visiting all the major restaurants, with a different dish every day.

They even paid for their meals!

This was better than some of the spoiled rich kids in the capital.

Speaking of spoiled rich kids... just yesterday, a few arrogant sons of officials tried to tease Xirwei and Lily, but they were casually killed by the two of them.

This angered their fathers, who prepared to send soldiers to arrest Xirwei and Lily, but the Southern Town Protectorate caught wind of it in time, and the officials were removed from their posts. The matter was dropped.

Considering the current situation in Yan Nation, the higher-ups of the country naturally wouldn't make enemies with foreign grandmasters for a few rich kids and could only turn a blind eye.

"What do these two want? They don't seem to be here to invade our Yan Nation. Could they really want to form an alliance with us?" In the Protectorate hall, Zhong Chunhua questioned with a puzzled expression.

"Impossible. Our country is weak, what could they possibly see in us to form an alliance?" Jiang Tao, who had just returned from Guanghan Prefecture, shook his head. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Regardless of their motives, we can't let them discover that the monarch is in seclusion," Liu Yuan added. "If they have any malicious intentions, it could be troublesome."

For this reason, Lin Lie, a grandmaster, stayed day and night at the city gates, acting as a protector for Fang Yuan.

"But how long will His Majesty be in seclusion?" Zhong Chunhua furrowed his brow. Cultivating Dao bodies as a grandmaster usually takes years.

"Don't worry, everyone," Jiang Tao said to calm everyone down. "It won't be too long."

"Don't worry?" Xiao Jun's tone was cold. "When a grandmaster cultivates Dao bodies, it always takes years!"

"So that means he'll be in seclusion for at least a few years! I thought you all supported some enlightened ruler, but it turns out he's just another absentee monarch!"

When Xiao Jun spoke, some of the generals nodded in agreement, even Zhong Chunhua and Liu Yuan didn't know how to respond.

Only Jiang Tao remained calm and continued, "When His Majesty was in the Southern Protectorate, he completed a wood-based Dao body in just three days, and I personally witnessed it."

As soon as he said this, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone could only hear their own sharp breaths. Did they hear that correctly? Three days to cultivate a Dao body?

Was this even human?

While they were still in shock, a voice suddenly rang out in the ears of all the generals: "It seems you've encountered some trouble?"

Jiang Tao, Zhong Chunhua, and the others immediately showed joy, while Xiao Jun's face looked like he had seen a ghost... What was this technique? Transmission over a thousand miles?

His Majesty's cultivation had clearly undergone a terrifying improvement...

Jiang Tao suppressed his excitement and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, here's the situation..."

He hurriedly told Fang Yuan about Xirwei's arrival.

"I see..." Fang Yuan's voice was calm. "I have completed my cultivation and feel good. Let that foreign grandmaster come meet me in the royal capital."

"Yes!" Jiang Tao nodded and immediately left the hall at a brisk pace. Xiao Jun and the others, who had never met Fang Yuan, looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to think.

...

Outside a restaurant, Xirwei and Lily walked out, holding their full stomachs, rubbing their round bellies and burping.

"I have to say, the food in Yan Nation is really delicious!" Xirwei sighed in contentment.

"Yes, yes." Lily eagerly nodded in agreement.

"It's a pity we won't get to eat it again. Let's leave tomorrow," Xirwei said.

"Leave? Aren't we going to meet the king of Yan Nation?" Lily asked, surprised.

"The other side is in seclusion to cultivate Dao bodies... We won't be able to see him for years, maybe even decades," Xirwei shook her head.

Although she had been eating and playing these past few days, she had been secretly investigating. The spies from the Protectorate could never keep track of her!

If she wasn't wrong, the Emperor of Yan Nation was probably cultivating Dao bodies in the royal capital.

The upper echelons of Yan Nation kept this secret tightly, afraid she might ruin their plans, but they didn't know that she already knew.

However, Xirwei had no intention of causing any trouble. She preferred to avoid complications.

But she had already made her judgment about Yan Nation—it was a hopeless country, with top-tier battle strength being extremely scarce. They wouldn't survive in future wars with other countries.

Forming an alliance with such a nation would be like seeking death.

Just as Xirwei and Lily were about to leave, Jiang Tao suddenly appeared, landing in front of them.

"Ladies," Jiang Tao greeted with a salute, "His Majesty requests your presence!"
