Chapter 1102 Successor City Lord
Luo Xiong raised his eyebrows, "You little girl, tell me about it."
"First, I need absolute power. Everyone in the city must ensure that my orders come first," Luo Li said seriously. "The Demon God Temple is very active right now, and we must ensure that there are no hidden dangers in the city."
There is more than one city in Bulicheng, and she doesn't want to worry about whether the major cities obey her orders after becoming the city lord.
Luo Xiao and Luo Xiong looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "It should be so."
Luo Yuanxiu also said: "Don't worry, we will pass on the order on this matter. The entire Buli City will bow down to you and there will be no objections. Besides, Xiaoli, you also have the ability to make them lose the dispute."
"Second—" Luo Li suddenly turned and pointed at Shi Heng, "Master must be my deputy city lord!"
Shi Heng's hand, which was holding the teacup, trembled, and the hot tea spilled onto his black robe. "What?"
Luo Li smiled slyly, "Didn't you just say that all the forces recognized me as the one? Then you can be my 'human seal'. From now on, you can do the things I'm too lazy to do for me."
Even louder laughter erupted in the meeting hall.
Luo Xiao laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh, "Alright, alright! Shi Heng, you've had enough of hiding away all these years!"
Shi Heng said helplessly: "Okay, Master will do odd jobs for you from today on."
Luo Li nodded in satisfaction and clapped her hands, "Then it's decided."
"Okay!" Luo Xiong laughed, "Then the new city lord's succession ceremony will be held in half a month. I have to prepare well."
Luo Li touched her nose and said, "There's no need to be so grand, right?"
"Of course it has to be grand!" Luo Qingzhu said, "Xiao Li has become the new Lord of Buli City. Of course, this matter must be known to the entire Continent of Gods!"
Luo Li was helpless. She wanted to say something else, but Lan Xiaoxiao and the others came in and covered her mouth. "Brother Qingzhu is right. Such a big thing must be handled in a big way!"
An Shuxue also said: "Yes, we have been depressed for a long time since leaving the city, and we need a happy event to relax and unwind."
Luo Li compromised, "Okay——"
Half a month passed in a flash, and the city of Buli was decorated with a brand new look during this period.
In front of the city lord's mansion, golden ribbons fluttered in the wind and spiritual pattern lanterns hung high, illuminating the entire city like daylight.
Representatives from various forces across the continent came to watch the ceremony. Palace Master Yun Miao, Feng Yan and others also came one after another. Even some forces that had not previously participated in the alliance negotiations sent important figures.
The day before the succession ceremony, Lan Xiaoxiao came to Luo Li's yard with the city lord's uniform that Luo Li would wear tomorrow.
Looking at the extraordinarily exaggerated robe, Luo Li was speechless, "Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Is this exaggerated?" Lan Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose. "I wanted to do it more beautifully, but Shuxue and the others stopped me."
Luo Li immediately clasped her hands together and said, "I thank her."
Lan Xiaoxiao pouted and said, "Hey, try it on to see if it fits."
Luo Li said helplessly, "How can you say whether clothes made of spiritual silk fit or not?"
"Oh!" At this moment, An Shuxue, Ye Yichen and others rushed in from outside the yard, "We just want to see what you look like in this dress!"
Luo Li was so annoyed by them that she had no choice but to accept the glittering city lord's uniform.
As soon as her fingertips touched the fabric, the entire robe unfolded automatically like a living thing, shimmering in the moonlight.
Lan Xiaoxiao chuckled, "I'll give you the dress inside tomorrow!"
"This is..." Luo Li was surprised to find that the pattern embroidered on the lapel was not an ordinary pattern, but the mark of the Covenant of the Gods outlined with star sand.
Lan Xiaoxiao shook her head proudly. "Shuxue and I pulled three all-nighters to embroider this! It didn't require any strength at all! And it's made with starlight sand, which glows at night!"
An Shuxue added with a smile, "Teacher Shi Heng said that since we're going to announce it to the world, we might as well show the seal of the covenant as well. When the allies who come to watch the ceremony see it, they'll definitely think Ah Li takes the covenant very seriously."
Luo Li felt a little warm in her heart and put her robe on.
In an instant, a silvery-white light flowed down like water, and the mark of the covenant on her chest lit up like a bright star, complementing the jade pendant on her waist.
"It's so beautiful!" Ye Yichen clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Those who watch the ceremony tomorrow will definitely be stunned!"
Bei Mingyu leaned against the pillar, holding his sword, and smiled, "It's indeed suitable."
Yue Hanchuan and the others also said, "Very beautiful."
Luo Li chuckled, "Thank you too."
They sat in the yard, looking at the bright moonlight. Ye Yichen said, "We've come all the way here. Now A'li is about to become the lord of a city in the Continent of Gods. It seems we have been walking for a long time."
"Yes," Luo Li looked into the distance, but now, they seemed to have seen the end of the road.
A sleepless night——
On the day of the ceremony, Luo Li wore the gorgeous robes given by Lan Xiaoxiao and the others, with a jade token symbolizing her status as the city lord tied around her waist, and slowly walked up to the platform.
Below the stage, Shi Heng stood beside her in a black robe. Although his expression remained calm, his eyes were full of satisfaction.
Luo Xiao, Luo Xiong and other elders of the Luo family sat in the main seats, looking at Luo Li on the stage, their eyes full of pride.
"Today, I, Luo Li, officially succeed the position of the City Lord of Buli City!" Luo Li's voice was clear and firm, echoing throughout the square.
She gathered spiritual power at her fingertips and drew a golden rune in the air. "From today on, I will protect the city and its citizens in the name of the city lord!"
As the runes fell, a brilliant light suddenly bloomed in the sky. Countless light points fell like rain and merged into the eyebrows of everyone present.
This is the protective oath Luo Li made as the city lord.
Everyone in the audience bowed and saluted: "Congratulations, City Lord Luo!"
The citizens also shouted loudly, "City Lord! City Lord!"
Palace Master Yunmiao and Feng Yan exchanged a glance and took a step forward at the same time.
A star token flew out from the sleeve of Palace Master Yunmiao, while Feng Yan sacrificed a scarlet feather. The two objects intertwined in the air and turned into a stream of light that sank into Luo Li's body.
"This is the blessing of Yunmiao Palace and Taixu Feng Clan," said the Yunmiao Palace Master with a smile, "May City Lord Luo enjoy long-lasting blessings."
Feng Yan smiled brightly: "If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"
Luo Li returned the greeting solemnly: "Thank you, two seniors."
Jiuding Academy, Yaochi Holy Land, Luoyue Territory and other forces followed suit.
Luo Li also returned the greeting, "Thank you, seniors. Luo Li will remember this in her heart."
"Lord Luo, you don't have to be polite." Everyone said.
The ceremony was completed quickly, and after the ceremony there was a banquet that Luo Yuanxiu and the others had prepared in advance.
At the banquet, Luo Li stood in the center of the banquet, and people came to congratulate her from time to time.
After a while, Luo Li's face became stiff from laughing.
She quickly said to Shi Heng, "Master, I'm not good at this kind of situation. You should do it."
After saying that, she hid in the corner and joined Lan Xiaoxiao and the others.
