Chapter 782: Request and Huge Harvest

Lan Si took Lou Mu Yan and the others away with a cold expression, leaving only the people from the Eastern Sea whose expression had changed drastically.

The other members of the sea race looked at each other. Seeing that the Fifth Princess who had taken off her veil was also a stunning beauty, but not only did she not catch the eyes of King, but was even scolded for being ‘such a thing’, they couldn’t help thinking inwardly that King’s preference sure was really unique.

After thinking about it carefully, they compared Lou Mu Yan and the Fifth Princess, and discovered that the Fifth Princess had completely been defeated by Lou Mu Yan in every other aspect except for being reserved and gentle.

The Fifth Princess was incomparable to Lou Mu Yan in terms of appearance, figure, temperament, liveliness, and domineering, and there was no shortage of gentle and reserved women around the Southern Sea King, so her wish to become Queen was doomed to be a daydream.

Many women from large clans in the Southern Sea who wanted to marry Lan Si and become his concubines looked at the Fifth Princess’s pale face and gloated inwardly, secretly thinking that she was overestimating herself.

Although Lou Mu Yan stole King’s attention, but based on temperament, they hated the hypocritical Fifth Princess even more.

Right now, most of the sea race were all secretly wondering whether Lou Mu Yan would become their Queen.

And those Elders of the Royal Family of the Southern Sea kept praying inwardly that the little fiend would leave the Southern Sea as soon as possible, so as not to harm their King.

After entering Lan Si’s palace and sitting down, Lou Mu Yan looked at Lan Si jokingly and said: “I really don’t know if you know how to care for and pity beauties when you even have the heart to reject such a beauty.”

She was naturally aware of the Fifth Princess’s hostility towards her, but she didn’t care.

After all, there were many women who didn’t like her in the Human Realm. In particular, women who wanted to marry Ming Xiu were as many as fish in a river, and they probably secretly wished for her to die as soon as possible.

But she was still alive and well, and she lived more unrestrained and happily than anyone else.

Lan Si placed his chin on his fist, and looked at her with a meaningful smile, saying: “If Little Yan’er, you want to marry this King, then this King will definitely make you the Queen of the Southern Sea.”

He had seen a lot of women who thought herself aloof like the Eastern Sea’s Fifth Princess. Over the years, countless such women had come to his door of their own initiative, and he didn’t even bother to take a look at them.

Besides, there was a huge conflict between the Eastern Sea and the Western Sea right now. The Eastern Sea wanted to win him over through marriage—did they think he was stupid?

Of course, if Lou Mu Yan was willing to marry him and help him solve some troubles, he might be tempted.

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him, “I’m not blessed enough to accept the title of the Southern Sea Queen.”

“You’re not blessed enough to be the Southern Sea Queen, but you’re blessed to enjoy the title of Empress of Monarch Ming?” Lan Si raised an eyebrow.

Ming Xiu removed the effect of the Appearance Altering Pill, revealing a peerlessly handsome face, “Yan’er can naturally enjoy it.”

Lou Mu Yan was sitting beside Ming Xiu. She stretched out her hands and hugged his arm, saying to Lan Si with a smile: “I just like being Monarch Ming’s Empress.”

“Good-for-nothing.” Lan Si said without a good attitude.

This girl had really been enraptured by Ming Xiu.

Ye Qing Han lowered his head and took a sip of the tea brought by the female attendant—how bitter.

“Alright now, let’s talk about business.” Lou Mu Yan said.

Lan Si’s slender fingers tapped the armrest of the seat lightly, “What business?”

“Of course it’s the Four-Layer and Five-Layer Heavy Waters you promised just now.” Lou Mu Yan said with a mischievous smile.

Lan Si hooked his lips and said with a smile: “Did this King promise you?”

“Of course, you agreed.” Lou Mu Yan nodded solemnly: “You even said it in public.”

“This King found out for the first time today that Little Yan’er, you’re actually a little rogue.” Lan Si smiled helplessly.

Then he tossed an interspatial ring that appeared in his hand to Lou Mu Yan: “The treasures can be given to you, but you have to agree to this King’s one request.”

Lou Mu Yan took the interspatial ring and scanned it. She found that there were two Five-Layer Heavy Waters and five Four-Layer Heavy Waters inside and was slightly surprised. This Fox Lan was a bit too generous.

Hearing what he said later, she sighed in relief and asked with a smile: “What request.”

She’d be in an unfavourable position to accept too much. She didn’t want to owe too much favour.

“The Foreign Battlefield is about to open and many talented young pupils of the younger generation from our Southern Sea will also be sent in.” Lan Si paused, then said: “Among them, about ten of them are very important to the future of the Southern Sea. This King wants you to take care of them a bit.”

He was the Southern Sea King, and he had his own responsibilities. The most outstanding talents of the younger generation were the most precious wealth for the future of the Southern Sea. He had to make plans for them.

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow: “The most outstanding young geniuses of the Southern Sea still needs our care?”

“In terms of cultivation and strength, they may not be that inferior to you, but in terms of life-saving methods, this King believes you are definitely superior.”

Lan Si paused, then said: “In particular, in alchemy and arrays, you will have an absolute advantage on the Foreign Battlefield.”

Lou Mu Yan thought for a bit, then said: “Alright, we agree to this request.”

After entering the Foreign Battlefield, they were all allies, and there was no harm in taking care of the elites of the Southern Sea, not to mention that Fox Lan was indeed a bit too generous to her this time.

She even wondered if those Royal Elders would come directly to the door of the large hall and wail and complain if they knew that Fox Lan actually gave her two Five-Layer Heavy Waters.

“But can I make another request?” Lou Mu Yan blinked and said shyly, “Of course, we can offer you something in return and you can refuse if it will put you in a difficult situation.”

Lan Si chuckled and asked: “You lot want to comprehend the grade 10 array outside the Southern Sea Imperial City right.”

Lou Mu Yan said in surprise: “How did you know?”

Fox Lan was indeed good at predicting things, he even knew this.

“You and Ming Xiu’s array skills are already very strong. If you weren’t tempted after seeing the grade 10 array, then it means you’re not obsessed with arrays.”

Lan Si said with a smile: “But as far as this King is aware, among the several specialisations, arrays is the one you are both best at and obsessed with, so it’s not difficult to guess your request.”

He looked at Ming Xiu and continued: “If my guess is correct, you should already be a grade 9 array master right.”

“Southern Sea King has great eyesight.” Ming Xiu replied with a smile.

“The grade 10 array outside the Imperial City of the sea race can be comprehended by you two, but not the last layer.” Lan Si said—this was the baseline of what he could do.

“Alright!” Lou Mu Yan readily agreed.

Grade 10 arrays were intended to be used to protect the Southern Sea Imperial City to begin with. If they could comprehend the last layer, then wouldn’t it pose a huge threat to the sea race in the Southern Sea? It was already a rare opportunity to be able to comprehend it, she was still rather grateful towards Lan Si.

After chatting for a while, Lan Si then asked someone to take Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu to comprehend the grade 10 array, while he and Ye Qing Han discussed the preparations of the two seas for entering into the Foreign Battlefield.

A month later, Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu finished comprehending the grade 10 array within the limit, and Lan Si also introduced them to a grade 10 Ancestor of the Southern Sea Imperial Family.

The Ancestor admired the two’s talents in arrays and taught them personally for three days.

Of course, Lan Si played a huge role in this.

Three days later, Lou Mu Yan took a bunch of treasures, spiritual herbs, and materials extorted from Lan Si, and embarked on the road back to the Human Realm together with Ming Xiu.
