Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 449 - 72: The Migration of Nvwa Snake and the Revival of Baichuan City_2
```
Tang Xian seemed to recognize that Bai Mansheng was referring to himself.
Given that Bai Mansheng had become more valuable, and they had just survived a life-and-death ordeal, there was no need to diminish their rapport.
So Tang Xian didn't say something like "You and Qing JiuYu are both overthinking it."
Bai Mansheng didn't dwell on the matter either. Women inherently believed in metaphysical teachings, yet she also believed that fate could be altered.
This contradiction was one reflection of human nature.
"So where do you think I should take them? I can't think of anywhere in this world that could avoid the court," Bai Mansheng inquired.

Tang Xian furrowed his brows, finding it to be a truly troublesome question:
"There's something I've always wanted to understand. When you all migrated southward, it wasn't just to start a war with Qing JiuYu, right?"
Bai Mansheng nodded:
"The Far North is close to Red Lotus Hell; after we eliminated the enemies to the north, we noticed some abnormalities in the distant Red Lotus Hell, and the usually calm glacial ocean also became turbulent. Although we've never seen the giant turtle in the deep sea, it must truly exist."
Pausing for a moment, Bai Mansheng frowned and continued:
"The weather becomes ever colder, which doesn't affect us. But the trembling of the earth and the withdrawal of fish schools have made us feel that the terrifying monster is awakening.
"There are some enemies in this world that cannot be dealt with in their specific regions. If the legendary turtle that survived the apocalypse of the gods truly starts to awaken, my kin and I stand no chance of confronting it on the icy seas."
Tang Xian remembered Tang Feiji mentioning the seven minions of the Sea God.
There was a supreme being of a monster race similar to the Nuwa Emperor, the nine-headed hydra, but it was already dead, as well as the massive Gem Sperm Whale King and the perished demon sharks.
And there was a very old turtle that had gone to the northern glacial seas.
Considering the colossal size of the sea giant, Tang Xian conjectured that the giant turtle known to humans as Cleveland might be another servant of the Sea God.
With this thought, Tang Xian suddenly took an interest in heading north.
Still, he said:
"You and your people will likely have to continue southward."
"South?"
"Yes, even further south than Amara Continent, at the other end of the great ocean."
"You mean to cross the dark sea?" Bai Mansheng exclaimed in surprise.
"There is an ancient region in this world, a cluster of islands. I happen to have some influence there. Just lead your people to those islands. Don't worry, the islands are very safe, one of the few places even the Myriad Beasts Court wouldn't trouble themselves with."
Jin Lu once mentioned the Myriad Beasts Court, but since learning the island's location could move, Tang Xian discovered that the sea domain blessed by the Sea God was actually quite suitable as a hiding spot for a mining area.
"Such relocation is too far, I'm afraid it would last for days on end. Moreover, the dark sea is treacherous, and my people and I simply cannot cross it."
"With the Sea God's protection, what is there to fear?" Tang Xian laughed.
"The Sea God?"
Tang Xian's gaze turned to Tang Feiji.
Tang Feiji puffed out his chest proudly; as the Sea-Dragon King of the shadowy abyss, he naturally had the confidence to prevent any deep-sea creatures from attacking the Nvwa Snakes as they swam across the dark sea.
Bai Mansheng was stunned, not having anticipated this additional identity for Tang Feiji.
But if they could move to the relatively weaker jurisdiction of the court in the south, it was indeed a good option.
Though she did not wish to become enemies with the Myriad Beasts Court, would they really overlook the Nvwa Snake Clan for the death of the gluttonous monster?
Bai Mansheng didn't think the Myriad Beasts Court would do so.
The matter was quickly settled.
The final plan for the Nvwa Snake Clan was to traverse the dark sea and head for the islands controlled by the sea behemoth, the Sea-Dragon King.
It would be a long process, one that greatly depended on Tang Feiji.
Even though the Nvwa Snakes were adept in the water, they were ultimately different from the Nuwa Emperor and the Sea Dragon; they could not fly.
Crossing the dark sea would take a considerable amount of time.
Tang Feiji was crucial to this endeavor, for no creature could swim across the dark sea—unless they were guests of the Sea God.
Realizing this, Tang Xian remarked:
"Tang Feiji, even though you look ridiculous trying to solve that Rubik's Cube, your valiant effort in battle today was truly impressive."
Tang Feiji also transformed into his human shape and nodded proudly, acting as if he could handle any praise.
Being complimented by Tang Xian was indeed not an easy feat.
And Tang Xian's words were beyond mere flattery.
Considering the journey southward, where Tang Feiji might entertain thoughts of returning to his origins, Tang Xian said:
"Tang Feiji, we've fought side by side several times now. Do you still have kin?"
Tang Feiji didn't grasp Tang Xian's meaning and shook his head:
```
"The Azure Dragon Clan once had its population, but that was hundreds of years ago, when I was extremely young. At that time, I had already gone to the bottom of the sea,
always fulfilling the promise I made with Lord Sea God."
Tang Xian didn't want to think the worst of the situation.
But perhaps the Azure Dragon Clan really was down to a few.
Maybe the Sea God of that time was preserving the bloodline of the clan?
After the fall of the Sea God and the master of Eden, the Myriad Beasts Realm must have undergone another purge.
The master of Eden from those days protected this world alongside the Sea God.
The current me, carrying Tang Feiji, also smacks of a taste of destiny's cycle.
Although neither I nor Tang Feiji are likely to be as powerful as our forebears.
We're only a low-end version of the master of Eden and the Sea God."
Thinking this, Tang Xian said:
"Tang Feiji, with our forces combined, we've already killed the fourth Judgment Chief.
The downfall of these powerful creatures was possible only with your help; without you, I couldn't have managed it.
If in the future you have kin, or if your kin or you are in trouble, feel free to come to me."
Tang Feiji was somewhat stupefied by Tang Xian's sudden show of goodwill.
Tang Xian didn't explain and, seeing Tang Feiji's stupefied expression, he suddenly felt a bit of joy.
If Tang Feiji wished to leave, Tang Xian would not hold him back and would completely understand.
But the silly dragon showed no intention of leaving.
Tang Xian said happily:
"Before we embark on the long journey across the sea, at least tonight, we should enjoy the delicious meat to our heart's content."

...
As Tang Xian led Bai Mansheng and the Nvwa Snake Clan to begin the great migration,
Baichuan City finally welcomed change.
Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen were very efficient and quickly set up a team of over a hundred highly educated intellectuals following Tang Xian's instructions.
The majority of the team members were technical workers, especially good at repairing various types of equipment.
These individuals were also all talented.
Originally, it was thought to be difficult to persuade these talents to come live in Baichuan City alongside those non-talented individuals who had once been exploited by them.
But human nature is ultimately good, and some people responded after learning that survival was possible in the outside world and that their relationships could be mended.
Gradually, more and more people began to respond.
Of course, the main reason had nothing to do with human nature.
It was because Yu Xiaozhe offered a large bounty for their services.
They didn't want to let go of their pride as talented individuals, but sorry, the lord's offer was just too generous.
Anyway, under the wise decisions of Yu Xiaozhe, the fortress lord of the sanctuary, a bunch of technical personnel arrived in Baichuan City.
Following this, Li Xiaoyu also demonstrated the decisiveness of Baichuan's top official, retaining these people through various means.
Like Yu Xiaozhe, the simplest and most effective means was benefits.
In the expensive Pyramid and the future high-priced Baichuan City, housing has always been a heavy burden for many people.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
This tradition is said to have lasted a thousand years.
Since the ancient 21st century, owning a house has been one of the goals of contemporary young people.
The method employed by Li Xiaoyu, the top official of Baichuan City, was to provide the best housing to these technical personnel.
With the joint efforts of Yu Xiaozhe and Li Xiaoyu, following Sky Pit City, Baichuan City welcomed another group of residents.
These intellectuals, of course, didn't like living without electricity.
So, in the following month, during the daytime, these people started frantically repairing the underground power generating equipment.
They also utilized materials provided by the fortress of the sanctuary to make new electrical wiring equipment, enough to cover the entire city.
Finally, on a certain night,
As the people of Baichuan City, like usual, finished their work and prepared to light candles to illuminate their rooms—a glow that had been dim for centuries,
suddenly lit up.
That night, Baichuan City was ablaze with lights.
