I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 533 - 25: Ancestral Human Biography, Part 2
...
...
Early morning.
The sky was blue, and the Dragon Race’s sun hung high in the sky.
This sun made the sea shimmer, and it seemed as if there was a special medium penetrating it, reaching through the seawater, so that even the underwater cities thousands of meters deep had a faint glow.
On a certain island in the East Sea.
A courtyard identical to the one on Ning Zheng’s side, with an ancient well in the yard.
"Fish Wine City, has been occupied?"
Jiao Wuyu, as the Island Master here, held a fishing rod and fished towards the well opening, which connected to the boundless sea below.
Splash!
She gave a tug on the fishing rod, and a lively big fish flew out.
"Occupied by bandits from outside the city? There’s no need to check it out, as long as they follow the rules and pay tributes on time."
"Yes." The old man with a turtle shell on his back beside her silently retreated.
Throughout history, the affiliates of the Dragon Race were often the Profound Turtle Race, distant relatives of the Divine Beast Black Tortoise.
After all, Profound Turtles have a long lifespan and can help manage Dragon Race affairs for a long time, making them a royal retainer race.
Currently, Jiao Wuyu is also one of the stars of the Dragon Dynasty, managing a city region.
Just like how Jian Xin used to manage several cities, including Pingchang City, and would descend in Dharma Aspect if anything happened.
But this time, Jiao Wuyu, who was in charge of managing this city area, was reluctant to descend in Dharma Aspect, being greatly irked by the Dragon Race’s internal matters!
"Where did Xi Rong take my daughter?"
Jiao Wuyu pondered in her heart.
When Xi Rong officially debuted with that Shadow Crocodile, waging war against the Human God, she knew who had ascended at the Blood Separation Flower Manor before.
Because this Shadow Crocodile was seen once before during the awakening incident of Li Youzhu.
At that time, she thought the Blood Separation Flower family relied on some Demon Cultivator, but now it seems they depended on Xi Rong’s forces!
Of course, she didn’t think it was the main branch.
She estimated it was a secret sub-branch under them.
This manor had long secretly become Xi Rong’s establishment.
As for what those Blood Separation Flower ancestors mentioned, the so-called Qilin Child, in hindsight, it’s likely a synthetic semi-finished Immortal Beast left by the Xirong Divine Craftsman!
Even that so-called brother is likely a disciple under the Xirong Divine Craftsman.
"Unexpectedly, they covertly sided with the Xirong Divine Craftsman, even hiding it from their family ancestors."
Jiao Wuyu took a deep breath:
"After I awakened, I sensed something wrong with the manor; it was just that at the time, I didn’t have the chance to investigate further and started avoiding the court’s pursuit."
Now, with her daughter taken, in her view, the Xirong Divine Craftsman had taken a fancy to her as the Ghost King.
During these hundred years of disappearance, her daughter should be safe and sound.
...
Likewise, it was early morning.
The first ray of sunlight penetrated into the sea, a faint halo of light.
The intense and scorching sunlight refracted in the seawater like layers of golden sunlight ripples, shining on the city’s buildings, and continuously stirring up ripples.
It had a peculiar sense of beauty.
"So beautiful."
"Fish Wine City, so beautiful."
"Exotic charm!"
"Wow, when we rebel, this place will turn into the Dragon Palace and rule the sea race across the world!"
"The Saints in the neighboring Xin Dynasty are too fierce now. If being the Human Emperor is not feasible, let’s become the Dragon Emperor instead."
"The collapse of the combat power pyramid here presents the perfect opportunity for rebellion!"
"For all the rebels, we’ve got a part!"
...
A group of young blacksmiths chatted continuously.
The ocean scenery was overwhelmingly beautiful compared to the land.
Up to now, they found it unbelievable that a small city was suddenly opened for them to simulate governance?
With tens of thousands of live fish NPCs, in the future, won’t it be breeding, exploding troops, making them laborers, and becoming an army?
Some newly online young blacksmiths wanted to run to find White Flower to listen to the next part of the "Ancestral Human Biography."
Unfortunately, Jiucai Rong chased them away, ordering them to work instead.
After all, the story should be heard by everyone together. How could you secretly listen to it in advance?
It was to be told at the bonfire party at night.
During the day, Ning Zheng strolled through the streets and went to check out the Red House and Brothel, increasingly feeling the sea race was marred with decay, with everything in disarray waiting to be rejuvenated.
As he wandered through the streets, other military and civilian folks shut their doors and windows, looking at this tall and mighty "Bone Demon Commander" in awe.
Ning Zheng found it uninteresting as well.
He didn’t stay long, directly returning to the manor, and made a trip near Xirong Academy’s square.

...
Fish Wine City was so dull; this place was more refreshing.
Sitting in a private room chair of a tavern, Ning Zheng stretched lazily in his seat.
Initially, he planned to buy a house nearby in his name.
Not far from the square of the "Statue of Liberty," living in the house could steadily gain experience. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
But he was quickly startled by the astonishing property prices.
Someone so wicked had driven the real estate prices here so high!
A small hundred square meter courtyard astonishingly valued at millions of Magic Coins, even making a wealthy person like him feel a pinch.
Over thirty thousand Magic Coins per square meter.
A Five-Body Realm Great Perfection like Zhang Huaping might toil their whole life without affording even one square meter.
These house prices rivaled those of the Capital City!
People in the Capital have safe zones for grooming family successors.
What purposes do such high prices serve here?
To view the giant statue of the Xirong Divine Craftsman?
Ning Zheng griped, "Was my value always this high?"

The days of counting money were indeed comfortable.
By dusk, Ning Zheng planned to return home.
...
The young blacksmiths’ work during the day was laborious but fulfilling.
Moving bricks, getting the job done!
The two hundred newcomers also enjoyed the thrill of construction, counting Magic Coins in their hands happily, overjoyed.
