The soldiers patrolling the distant camp and the early risers from Vulture Village looked at them as if they were seeing a pair of ethereal, divine beings descending to earth, and they all felt fondness, envy, and reverence.
As the sun fully rose in the east, Ji Fengyao was awakened by a thunderclap.
Shang Xiye wrapped her up in his blanket and held her in his arms. She was only wearing her undergarments. The tent where they had stayed the night before had been blasted into a charred pit.
The soldiers in the camp were used to the lightning that struck every day, morning and night. They glanced at the scene briefly and then went about their business.
"Ugh, I got struck by lightning again," Ji Fengyao muttered sleepily, scratching her fluffy hair with her soft little hand.
Shang Xiye looked up at the sky thoughtfully, his starry eyes narrowed slightly, and he hugged his soft little wife in his arms even tighter: "I woke you up, I'll be gentler next time."
Damn!
This morning was filled with a sweet and tender attack!
Ji Fengyao's girlish heart was completely melted: "Your Highness, why are you making me eat such sweets so early in the morning? I'll get fat!"
Only when you get used to sweetness will you be unable to tolerate even the slightest bitterness;
In that case, you will never be able to leave me again!
"Did I? I didn't feed you candy while you were asleep," Shang Xiye smiled, pretending not to understand.
Ji Fengyao always felt that her master seemed to have changed a little bit;
But she couldn't quite put her finger on what had changed. She always felt that beneath his outrageously handsome smile lay a tiny bit of wickedness, but she liked it!
After a quick breakfast, Shang Xiye divided everyone into three groups.
All three groups were led by Wei Chao:
Wei Shu led his army to garrison in a third location;
Ji Chenhai led the Vulture Village members to the second base to set up camp;
Wei Chao personally led Shang Xiye, Ji Fengyao, Ji Fengming, Hei Xiao, Qian Yingying, Bai Rumei, and others to the First Base.
The three cities are not located in one place, and only a few people know their exact locations.
The location of the first base, in particular, is well hidden.
Along the way, Wei Chao led everyone through countless dense forests and rapids. In many places, it seemed that there was no road at all, and even cultivators would find it difficult to conquer some of these places.
However, the mechanism designed by Wei Chao was extremely ingenious, creating a shortcut on the ground.
When Ji Fengyao learned that these mechanisms and natural barriers were built and conquered within seven years, and that they were only made of mortal flesh and blood, Ji Fengyao had no choice but to admit her utter admiration!
When they stood in the steep mountain valley, looking at the magnificent fortress nestled in the middle of several cliffs, everyone, including Shang Xiye, was awestruck.
Shang Xiye had only seen the new city on blueprints before, but now that he was there in person, he was still amazed by this impregnable city.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, this is the general appearance of the new city. Many details still need some time to be perfected, but your residences and everyone else's accommodations have been prepared in advance by my subordinates, so it will not affect your move-in and normal life," Wei Chao reported humbly with his hands clasped.
"You have done very well, even better than I imagined," Shang Xiye said with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, your subordinates are truly all exceptional individuals," Ji Fengyao said, sparing no praise and genuinely complimenting them.
Upon hearing Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao's words, Wei Chao and his subordinates all showed joy on their faces. Overjoyed, they solemnly clasped their hands and said in unison, "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness and Your Highness. We will continue to work hard to improve the construction of the new city!"
