When the topic of city-building costs came up, the senior sister who was in charge of city building smiled slightly and said, "What city-building costs? That's too formal. I'm here to help, this isn't a transaction."

Why?

Jiang Hao was dumbfounded. Anyone could say that line, except for Senior Sister Jiancheng. Last time, when she helped Jiang Hao build Dingbei City, she didn't skimp on a single penny, and in fact, she demanded a whopping 70 million from him!

Jiang Hao wondered if she had wandered onto the wrong set or picked up the wrong script.

Senior Sister Jiancheng couldn't help but glance at Jiang Hao and said, "What? You think I'm a greedy person? Pshaw!"

Senior Sister Jiancheng flicked a strand of long hair behind her right ear and said, "To tell you the truth, I've taken a liking to this place and want to ask you for a room in the Green Vine House. Give me a straight answer!"

Sure! Of course! It's just a house, right? There are plenty of those in Resurrection City!

Jiang Hao still didn't understand why Senior Sister Jiancheng didn't want the city-building fee, but only wanted a house to live in.

Looking at Yun Xinghe, I saw that this guy was just smiling at his senior sister, which earned him another eye roll from the beautiful woman.

Jiang Hao suddenly had a plan in mind.

This is a case of mutual affection; the two are about to begin a shameless and unrestrained life together.

Jiang Hao said, "Sure, but aren't you always busy? Even if I gave you a house, you wouldn't have time to live there, would you?"

Senior Sister Jiancheng glanced at Jiang Hao again and said, "Mind your own business! You know what the outside world is like right now. The human race and the gnoll race have started a full-scale war. My business stopped a few days ago. Since you can be resurrected here, it is of course the best place to stay."

Jiang Hao then realized what was going on.

"But don't expect me to help you defend against other armies when they attack. My status in the entire Spirit Ruins is neutral. If I help you, I won't be able to do business in the future. Besides, neither the little turtle nor I have any means of defending against enemies."

Jiang Hao said, "What are you saying, Senior Sister? Stay wherever you like. You helped us build such a big city and settled billions of people in comfortably. It's only right that we give you a construction fee. Since you specifically asked for a house, here's a house for you. That way, we're even, hahaha..."

Senior Sister Jiancheng chuckled and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say. We're even now!"

Jiang Hao saw Yun Xinghe just grinning foolishly and thought to himself, "This kid seems hopeless."

Jiang Hao flicked Yun Xinghe's arm and said, "Why don't you go with Senior Sister to choose a house?"

Senior Sister Jiancheng rolled her eyes at Jiang Hao, as if blaming him for meddling, and said, "What do you need him to help you choose?"

But she still followed Yun Xinghe.

Ah, women!

A short while later, Yun Xinghe ran back. Jiang Hao saw from afar that there was a red handprint on his face.

Jiang Hao was stunned.

What the heck is going on?

Yun Xinghe ran over, panting, and said, "It's terrible, it's terrible... Prince Yi sent a message, pleading... pleading with us to go to Realm 6823 to help. He said there are a large number of jackalmen and beastmen there, and General Meng Guang... General Meng Guang is already unable to hold on."

Realm 6823 is the closest human star-level realm to Realm 6528, where the Human King City is located. It has always been heavily guarded by humans. If that realm were to be occupied by the gnolls, it is highly likely that the gnoll empire would use that realm as a springboard to launch a direct attack on the Human King Realm.

What puzzled Jiang Hao was that the little skeleton had already been sent out, hadn't it? Did the gnoll army not return to reinforce them, and were willing to risk losing hundreds of realms to fight the human race head-on?

But the Human King Realm isn't just home to humans; it can also summon dragons for help at any time! What is Oron thinking? This is completely unlike him.

Jiang Hao said, "Really? Could it be that Prince Yi's information is wrong?"

Yun Xinghe calmed down and pondered for a moment before saying, "Prince Yi has even issued a royal warrant, ordering all humans to go to Realm 6823 to provide support. This is absolutely true. Moreover, the warships that are supposed to take us there are already anchored on the walls of Dingbei City. It's just that I feel it's all too sudden. Given Aorong's cautious nature, what benefit would a decisive battle bring him at this time?"

The more they thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. No matter how they speculated, it felt both possible and impossible. Finally, they decided to go and check it out.

Jiang Hao immediately asked Yun Xinghe to gather the teammates. It was the same ten-person team as before. Yun Xinghe called over six people, and the other two were Li Duofu and Sun Zhi. After waiting for a while, the two of them still hadn't arrived.

Jiang Hao suddenly remembered what he had forgotten.

Li Duofu and Sun Zhi are currently looting the corpses of jackals in the south!

So Jiang Hao and the others immediately crawled into the little poop mouth and came to the two people's side.

These two are unrecognizable as human beings! They look like two chubby snowmen standing up!

When the two of them came to search the corpse, it was Jiang Hao and Yun Xinghe who brought them over. At that time, the chill released by the Ice Silkworm had not yet reached this place; it was warm as spring. However, during those few days, Jiang Hao was busy with the immigration process, and Yun Xinghe was busy flirting with the charming senior sister, and no one remembered them.

Jiang Hao felt a surge of guilt and quickly jumped out to brush the snow off them. Once the snow was cleared away, a thick layer of ice was revealed underneath. Through the ice, he could see that the two men's faces were deathly pale and their lips were bloodless; they had clearly been frozen to death for several days.

Zhu Lin extended her finger, and two beams of white light shot into their bodies, using her resurrection skill. However, the two still showed no signs of waking up. Jiang Hao was somewhat puzzled; had they been dead for too long, exceeding Zhu Lin's resurrection time requirement?

Zhu Lin said, "Don't worry! Even if they turn into rotten flesh, they can be resurrected. They're just frozen into ice cream. They'll be fine once the ice melts."

Ice cream? Jiang Hao almost laughed.

Zhu Lin then added two more magic shields to them.

In a short while, the ice began to melt, and the two of them slowly opened their eyes and woke up. Li Duofu hugged his arms, shivering all over, and said, "Tap tap tap... I'm freezing to death, I'm freezing to death! Tap tap tap..."

Sun Zhi wasn't much better off, saying, "Clatter clatter... How long have we been dead? Dad, you've finally come to save us! Clatter clatter..."

Jiang Hao felt a little guilty and said, "Hey, why didn't you two contact me? You'd rather freeze to death than call for help?"

Yun Xinghe rolled her eyes at Jiang Hao, as if to say, "Does texting you work?"

Sun Zhi said, "Ta-da... I sent them all, except for you, Dad! Ta-da... Because I know Dad's busy, I didn't send any. I just don't know... I don't know what you're all busy with? Nobody replied to me. Ta-da..."

In an instant, apart from the two who were still trembling, the others were extremely embarrassed.
