Chapter 490: Empty Nest Old Gu
"You, Marquis Yanluo, must be quite capable. Let's see how well you perform."
Qin Yiyao tossed a spatial ring to Mo Qian.
What she just poured out was merely the tip of the iceberg of the resources she possessed—high-end goods intended for generals, commanders, and their ministers.
These were taken from the back room of our good master.
Anyway, Master thought those "early works" were too "inferior" and said they couldn't be sold no matter what. She figured that instead of selling them, she might as well give them to her good, obedient disciple.
Then Qin Yiyao, with a slightly apologetic air, ransacked Gu Heng's inventory, having forgotten to tell him about it before leaving... Anyway, he didn't care.
But the real highlight is in the other ring!
These items were all taken from the treasure trove left behind by the Great Qin Dynasty... Tens of thousands of standard-issue armor and swords and halberds from the Great Qin Dynasty, all of which were of the Yellow Rank!
In addition, there were elixirs specifically for soldiers to cultivate their martial arts skills, as well as a large quantity of medicinal herbs.
The sheer number of them was enough to allow Yanluo Kingdom to arm a formidable army of ten thousand men overnight, equipped with terrifying weaponry!
The "military formation method" she provided was a high-end product from the former Qin Dynasty.
In other words, it's her high-end stuff.
The military formations of Yanluo Kingdom are utterly inadequate, with extremely rudimentary methods for mobilizing the soldiers' vital energy and a negligible amount of power bestowed upon the generals.
The most powerful and top-tier military formation of the Great Qin Dynasty is a heaven-defying battle technique that allows generals at the Mahayana stage to kill Saint stage cultivators by commanding a million troops!
However, Qin Yiyao had no intention of giving such a good thing to the Yanluo Kingdom.
This can only be brought out after she has found an elite commander she approves of.
Now...
Ordinary high-grade goods are enough to increase the strength of Yanluo Kingdom several times, or even ten times.
Mo Qian glanced at the contents of the spatial ring, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his face turned deathly pale. Even as a former king, he had never seen such things before.
Tens of thousands of yellow-grade armor and halberds, and so many medicinal herbs and elixirs...
Mo Qian understood what she wanted him to do at a glance.
This ruler wasn't simply indolent and complacent; he just couldn't see a way to break the deadlock. The new ruler, however, gave him that solution directly!
But faced with Mo Qian's fervent excitement, Qin Yiyao simply said coldly, "Don't disappoint me."
"According to the order!"
Mo Qian and his ministers immediately bowed and accepted the order.
"Also, on the surface, you will still be the ruler for a period of time. Do not make a fuss about it. You should know how to explain how you obtained these things, right?"
Qin Yiyao then gave further instructions.
Mo Qian immediately felt a chill run down his spine: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will never reveal your existence!"
"Ah."
Qin Yiyao nodded in satisfaction.
"go a head."
"Yes!"
...In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
It was another night alone. Gu Heng ate a few bites of food, then lay down in the yard to look at the sky and pet the cat.
Beside him, Xiao Bai was peeling and cutting fresh fruit into pieces. His little dragon claws looked clumsy, but they were actually quite agile. After cutting the fruit, he neatly arranged the pieces on the table, which made Gu Heng marvel.
It's getting better and better to use.
Gu Heng casually ate two fruit slices, then continued petting the cat.
Now, besides a dragon and a cat, he was the only one left in the house. Qin Yiyao hadn't sent any letters, nor had she sent any communication stones. Gu Heng thought he should get two communication stones and give them to her when she returned.
I asked the little girl to call me every few days so I wouldn't get too bored and so she wouldn't miss home too much.
She has been gone for half a month.
Gu Heng wasn't too worried, after all, Qin Yiyao's cultivation level was now higher than hers, and she knew that.
Recently, only Miss Yin Xueling has come to visit me. She comes every few days, always in the early morning, and then learns painting skills under his guidance before going back in the afternoon.
And then there's Manager Jin Qian, who started sending him vegetables and meat more frequently, making no attempt to hide his intention to curry favor.
But Gu Heng really didn't know what he wanted from him, so he could only respond with a smile each time.
There are already saplings in the yard. The Soul-Devouring Vine and the Seven Realms Sacred Tree are growing very well. After being watered with plant growth sap, their growth rate is very fast.
His yard will soon have a shady tree providing shade.
Although, Gu Heng's purpose in planting them was simply to see what kind of seed the system's store sold would eventually grow into.
“…Hmm?” Gu Heng looked at Su Jinxi, who was being stroked in his palm, and she suddenly looked up, wagged her tail, and jumped onto the table.
Every now and then, she turned around and said, "Brother Gu Heng, may I go out for a moment?"
"Go."
Gu Heng nodded.
For a while, he hadn't heard Su Jinxi speak human language, and she rarely transformed into human form in front of him anymore. As time went on, Gu Heng almost forgot that the little cat in his hands was actually a very powerful demon.
Of course, Su Jinxi is no longer his pet; she's more like a member of his cat-girl family.
But there's a problem.
Gu Heng had never heard Su Jinxi mention her clan... She must have clansmen. Gu Heng had also investigated the Nine-Lives Demon Cat clan. Although their numbers were not particularly large, they still existed.
Does she not want her own kind? He felt that cats would definitely prefer to play with other cats, even though she could transform into a charming catgirl, she was still just a cat after all.
However, the possibility of exceptions cannot be ruled out.
……
Su Jinxi jumped out of the house, then immediately transformed into human form and headed towards the outskirts of the city.
She moved quickly and soon arrived at a mountain stream in the ancient wilderness outside the deserted city.
The ancient wilderness is vast and immense. Although it is sparsely populated and only has desolate cities, this vast mountain range, stretching for over ten thousand miles, forms a natural boundary between the Central Plains and the Eastern Frontier.
Since the terrain is large and complex enough.
In Su Jinxi's eyes, it was a good place to settle down temporarily.
She continued down the mountain stream until she reached the very bottom, where a naturally formed cavern was located, surrounded by a light mist—all signs of the rich and abundant spiritual energy of the ancient wilderness.
Of course, Su Jinxi couldn't see this before.
She now knows that the desolate city is not as desolate as it looks, nor is the ancient wilderness.
The people of the desolate city are all incredibly powerful, having already become immortals, yet they still hide in this place. Su Jinxi doesn't know who they're hiding from, but they are definitely not people to be trifled with.
However, none of this concerns her, nor can she control it. Since Brother Gu Heng has come here, he must know what he's doing.
Her current concern is the Nine-Lives Demon Cat tribe.
Just now, I received a telepathic message from my aunt, Su Fangchun, a member of the demon race.
The Nine-Lives Demon Cat tribe has already moved here.
