After a while, Wen Qiao spoke up, "But then again, they appear to be obedient to us, but secretly they don't let us get what we want. They push the child out as a shield just to make things difficult for us. Aren't they willing to give in so quickly?"
Sheng Zhixing also found it strange: "The royal guards of the Mi Kingdom nobles can't beat us, it seems like they are just stalling for time."
"What are they trying to do by delaying time? Are they calling for reinforcements?"
Sheng Zhixing shrugged. "I wonder where they'll get foreign aid from? The Sunan Islands are just a bunch of small countries and tribes. Even the most powerful Moon Tribe was defeated by Wen Qiao."
Jiang Lili: "Wen Qiao, do you have any news about the other small countries in the Sunan Islands?"
Wen Qiao shook his head: "The Moon Clan hasn't sent me any news yet."
"And if the small countries in the Sunan Islands want to support Mi Country, they should come quickly. We have been in Mi Country for almost eight days, and they haven't taken any action yet."
Jiang Lili speculated and said, "Perhaps there is another possibility. The reinforcements they requested are not from other countries in the Sunan Islands, but have come from far away and are still on the way. So they can only obey us for the time being and not cause trouble later, delaying the process?"
"But we have 5,000 naval troops at our disposal. Where can we find reinforcements that can match our strength?"
Sheng Zhixing: "...You've got me stumped. This way, we can rule out a small country. Could it be the Great Sheng?"
Jiang Lili thought it unlikely: "Da Sheng doesn't even have the time to manage Haizhou Island, let alone suddenly attack a small place like Mi Kingdom."
Not to mention that according to Zhou Jushan's intelligence, Emperor Qingning is now busy purging the rebellious followers of Prince An.
At this moment, Xin Che, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up: "Or, is there another possibility?"
"They don't have the advantage in numbers, but like us, they have powerful weapons."
This sentence immediately set off alarm bells in everyone's hearts.
Yes, although the ancients’ technological conditions were not as advanced as theirs, their wisdom was not inferior to that of modern people.
Sheng Zhixing suddenly became serious: "Although this world is similar to the modern world in terms of geographical structure, there are always variables."
Jiang Lili watched as everyone's expressions grew serious and solemn, and soothed them, "Don't worry too much. We have the organization's support now. No matter what kind of beast comes, we will physically exorcise it. Just be careful."
There's no way someone has a bigger golden finger than them, right? If there really were, they would have conquered the world long ago.

The naughty kids who didn't get what they wanted ran back home to make a scene with their parents.
The royal family members were troubled by their own children and it took them a lot of effort to coax them into submission. They promised to ask the goddess for some leniency the next day.
Late at night, the royal family members dragged their exhausted bodies together to discuss with the King of Mi.
Prince Heng of Mi Kingdom had a dejected look on his face: "So the amusement park here, Goddess, wasn't built for our children?"
The Princess of Prince Heng rubbed her brows and said, "The goddess doesn't seem to take us seriously at all..."
Someone immediately shouted angrily, "What goddess? She's just a witch! She can only deceive people! Let's just wait for the king to expose her true face!"
Prince Heng's wife shrugged helplessly: "Who cares if she's a goddess or a demon? The problem right now is that my precious child has cried himself hoarse at home and wants to go to that amusement park."
"Unfortunately, the amusement park is heavily guarded, and the children of ordinary people are in it. These untouchables have long held grievances against our royal family. We cannot afford to make any mistakes at this critical juncture."
"Isn't it just for the children's ivory whistles?"
"Didn't you hear your kid say that they don't even bother asking for an ivory whistle? They'll be closing the amusement park soon and taking everyone to other countries."
"Ya Country is not even as big as Haizhou Island. They simply look down on our tiny place!"
The king listened to the discussion of the royal family members and felt that this matter was indescribably strange.
The goddess's behavior was far beyond his expectations, and he didn't know what she would do next.
The king touched his forehead and found it was covered in sweat.
Jiang Lili can not only control rainfall but also create so many strange and bizarre treasures. Could she really be a goddess?
But he was unwilling to give away his centuries-old legacy to someone else, especially since his family's heirloom treasures were still in the hands of the divine messenger.
"Let's solve the current problem first and let the goddess let our child in."
So, that night, the king once again solemnly entertained the goddess and the messengers of God.
There were no more noisy children at the banquet this time. The royal family members were dressed in gorgeous clothes and were meticulously dressed. They all had gifts for the messengers of God in their hands.
When the goddess first met them, she said she didn't need these mundane things. However, the royal family members thought that the messengers of God were mortals after all, and giving them these gifts might help them speak a few words for themselves in front of the goddess.
The banquet was held in the most luxurious palace in the royal city. It was magnificent and the mahogany chairs were padded with cashmere cushions. The structure and materials of the palace kept the indoor temperature stable and cool, which was much more sincere than the open-air banquet on the first day.
The open-air square is obviously designed to give naughty children a place to do bad things.
When Jiang Lili brought Wen Qiao and others, all the members of the royal family stood up collectively.
They placed their left hands on their right shoulders and greeted Jiang Lili solemnly. They waited until Jiang Lili sat down before they dared to sit down. They were extremely polite.
The scene of this banquet was in stark contrast to the first welcome banquet. It seemed that the royal family of Miguo had become much more obedient.
King Jiang Lili raised his glass and said solemnly, "Lady Goddess, I and all the members of the royal family toast you."
Xin Che, who was standing beside Jiang Lili, raised his glass, his movements calm and composed: "I'll serve the wine to the goddess."
From the first day he arrived here, he wore a white robe of a divine messenger, a silver mask on his face, and looked mysterious and noble.
As soon as Xin Che came in, the royal family members noticed this man with extraordinary temperament. Could it be that he was also a god?
Or is he the goddess's lover?
In short, the relationship between this man and the goddess is very special!
The royal family members never imagined that this handsome man was the Great Sheng God of War that the high priest had mentioned to them.
Due to lack of information and the influence of stereotypes, they thought the God of War was a big, burly man.
The King of Mi also quickly glanced at Xin Che. Perhaps they could use this messenger to find the flaws in the goddess.
After everyone toasted, the king got straight to the point: "Lady Goddess, can the children of the royal family also visit the amusement park you built?"
The prince added: "You can ask for any conditions, as long as these royal family members can do it."
"visit?"
Jiang Lili's cold voice was tinged with regret. "I'm sorry, the garden's guest schedule for the past three days is already full. I really can't accommodate you."
