Chapter 995 - 53: Lixian Formation Core Gathers Spirit! Wolf Cubs Cause a Stir in the Imperial Palace (3)

In Wang Shouzhe’s plans, as time went on the number of clan members would only grow. The current main residence simply wouldn’t last for a few dozen years before it became overcrowded and everyone could no longer fit.But since Ping’an Town was the ancestral place of the clan’s revival, Wang Shouzhe and the clan Elders had no wish to move the main residence elsewhere.

Since that was the case, the relocation work for Ping’an Town’s original residents needed to be carried out without delay.

Now that the Wang Family held absolute sway locally, with extremely high prestige, as long as the compensation and resettlement were sufficient, and they didn’t deliberately bully the commoners, demolition and relocation would not be very difficult at all. There would absolutely not appear any die-hard "nail households" like in Wang Shouzhe’s previous life.

Some even said, in a more extreme way of putting it, that even if Wang Shouzhe went crazy and wanted to bully the commoners a bit, the commoners would only tremble and obey. On Wang Family territory, it was almost impossible for anyone to dare defy Wang Shouzhe.

Of course, Wang Shouzhe had no intention of doing something like that anyway.

...

Just as Wang Shouzhe was laying the foundation for the clan to last Ten Thousand Years...

Daqian Imperial Palace, Imperial Garden.

As the residence of the Great Emperor, and also the power center of the Daqian Kingdom, it was only natural that there were Arrays within the Daqian Imperial Palace. The entire palace was actually shrouded in a vast Array that could both attack and defend. If someone thought themselves powerful and dared to infiltrate the palace, they would naturally be taught a harsh lesson.

There were also Arrays set up in the Imperial Garden, but those Arrays were not arranged for attack or defense—they were Small Spirit Gathering Arrays.

Under the effect of the Small Spirit Gathering Array, the Spirit Qi in the entire Imperial Garden was far denser than outside. Various rare flowers and exotic plants bathed in it, bursting with vitality and growing luxuriantly; even the color of their leaves was a more vivid, dripping green, especially pleasing to the eye.

There were even strange species of Spirit Flowers seldom seen elsewhere, blooming all year round under the nourishment of this Spirit Qi. Their blossoms came in a riot of colors and temperaments—some stately and dignified, some wreathed in Immortal Aura, some brilliant and gorgeous, some taking a path all their own—truly contending in splendor and beauty, dazzling to the eyes.

Coupled with meticulous arrangement and constant pruning, the scenery of the entire Imperial Garden was particularly delightful and pleasing.

Every day, after "finishing with government affairs," Emperor Longchang would also come to the Imperial Garden for a walk, admire the flowers, and use a Lure to fish for various Spirit Fish in the Spirit Fish Pool, relaxing his body and mind a bit.

In the past, only Old Yao would accompany him.

After all, an emperor was an emperor. He had lived for over three thousand years; his original relatives and friends had long since died out, and he had long grown accustomed to being all alone.

As for all kinds of juniors, they were actually descendants separated from him by who knew how many generations. Most of them didn’t even dare breathe too loudly in his presence—utterly boring—so he naturally did not enjoy summoning them.

However, on this particular day, five little wolf cubs were circling around his feet.

They ran happily around Emperor Longchang as their center, rolling about, occasionally having a little scuffle, and from time to time stopping to sniff at various famous and exotic flowers. They were truly lively and adorable, and very well-behaved.

So far, they had not been seen to damage a single flower, blade of grass, tree, or shrub.

"Come, come~ I’ve got a ball here. Whoever grabs it first gets a piece of Spiritual Flesh as a reward." Emperor Longchang’s interest was piqued as he tossed out a little ball for the five little wolves to fight over.

Who would have thought that only one little wolf dashed out, quickly returning with the ball in its mouth, while the other wolf cubs all stayed obediently squatting by Emperor Longchang’s feet.

"Oh? So you’re not hungry, is that it?" Emperor Longchang said with a laugh. "I keep my word. If I say I’ll reward you, I’ll reward you."

As he spoke, he had Old Yao hand over a small piece of Spiritual Flesh and tossed it to the meritorious little wolf.

Who would have expected that the meritorious little wolf cub was very well-behaved and did not eat alone, but instead carried the Spiritual Flesh back to share with its brothers and sisters.

"Awooo~ awooo~"

The five little wolf cubs, you take a bite, I take a bite, neatly and orderly finished off that piece of Spiritual Flesh, then each of them looked at Emperor Longchang with dumbly cute expressions, eyes full of longing.

They weren’t impatient, nor did they beg—just stared at you with those big, limpid eyes, making it impossible for you to harden your heart.

"Oh, I really didn’t expect these little wolf cubs to be so well-behaved, such sticklers for order." Emperor Longchang said with a smile. "It seems that Wang girl who shipped them here really put in quite a bit of effort training them."

"Old Yao, see that they’re rewarded."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Old Yao responded, then pulled out a whole slab of large Spiritual Flesh from his Storage Ring and tossed it to the wolf cubs.

The wolf cubs were still extremely well-behaved, politely yielding to one another—one bite for you, one bite for me—sharing that piece of Spiritual Flesh in an orderly fashion.

Apparently after living with humans for a long time, these five little wolf cubs had become quite human-like in understanding, and knew that the one actually feeding them was this kindly old grandpa.

Thus, when they had finished eating, the five little wolf cubs swarmed forward—some rubbing against his legs, some rolling around and selling cuteness, and one of them even leapt onto Emperor Longchang’s shoulder, curling up its paws and, in all seriousness, started kneading his back.

"Insolence!" Old Yao was frightened by them and hurriedly scolded in a low voice, "You wolf cubs dare to touch Your Majesty’s sacred body? Get back at once!"

Emperor Longchang, on the contrary, waved his hand with a cheerful smile. "They’re still little~ it’s fine, it’s fine. And I must say, it actually feels quite comfortable."

"Such behavior was clearly trained into them." Old Yao was both amused and exasperated. "That girl of the Wang Family is truly a rare specimen. Is she training War Pets, or is she training cutesy pets?"

Perfectly good Silver Moon Grey Wolves with a pretty decent bloodline had actually been trained into this sort of state. Where was there any combat power left?
