Chapter 1836: Chapter 267: Unparalleled Little Report

Xiao Ziyu’s irritability is not just a matter of mood; it’s a severe influence of both innate and acquired bloodlines.

Judging from the Fire God of Longzhou’s performance, this influence is nearly uncontrollable, so letting him out to cause trouble is better than keeping him on Red Cloud Mountain.

After all, from North Mountain to Fuling and Aran is just a short distance; who can guarantee that Xiao Ziyu won’t rashly go over there one day? Now is a critical moment for Unparalleled to consolidate its foundation, and he doesn’t want to see any inexplicable accidents occur.

With Xiao Ziyu taken care of, North Mountain ushered in long-lasting tranquility, as most of the remnants of the fallen clan were filled with fear.

Fear that the calamity of clan extermination would strike again. In the past, they followed Xiao Ziyu, merely converting this fear into anger, but once they realized a new life was within reach without being slaughtered, why continue to be angry?

People are destined to move forward; few people alive can carry the dead forward, as being oneself already requires great effort.

Faced with the trials of life, those supposedly profound memories blur faster than one might imagine.

Without the big bomb of Xiao Ziyu and with the substantial support of Unparalleled City’s massive workforce, the construction speed of North Mountain exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Dragon Continent Calendar, May 1796

This year, May is particularly humid and hot, and in mountain towns like Unparalleled City, snakes and rats abound.

However, this evil month is somehow silent, with no buzzing flying insects, no sightings of snakes or rats, and even frog croaks and insect chirps are muted.

A cool breeze leisurely flows through the mountains, ceaselessly, but stepping out of Red Cloud’s borders, the heat is intense.

Residents of Unparalleled City claim it is a blessing from heaven, gracing the people, but only those truly sensitive to Spiritual Energy could vaguely sense that it wasn’t a miracle or blessing, but someone adjusted Red Cloud Mountain’s Primary Qi circulation. Need it even be mentioned who that was?

In this city without a master, the only one capable of such deeds is that person.

Truly a benevolent ruler!

Many martial artists visiting Red Cloud, feeling the gentle breeze in the city, would sigh with such praise.

It’s not wrong to call him benevolent, but the reason for adjusting Red Cloud Mountain’s Primary Qi was because Yun Xiu feared the heat.

Three months into her pregnancy showed noticeably, thanks to the physique of warriors from Fierce Realm, Yun Xiu didn’t have any discomfort symptoms, except that her temper grew a bit irritable, especially during the sweltering heat.

"Now, people outside are all praising you as a compassionate ruler."

Yun Xiu, wearing a loose gown, put down a pot of soup and smiled at Tang Luo, "My dear husband is surely going to be a good father."

Tang Luo, glancing at the quickly cooling pot of soup, smirked, "You wouldn’t think I did this for the child, would you? I merely hate the heat; hot weather just throws everyone off!"

"Yes, yes, husband speaks the truth."

Yun Xiu smiled, "Remember to drink the soup; I shall take my leave."

"Hey! Leaving so soon? Not going to chat a while more?"

"No more chatting, the councilors from city hall have been going up and down the spiral stairs since yesterday, stop teasing them and let them come up."

"How is that teasing? I’m having them comprehend the principles of living and working in the endless staircase; don’t just rush with petty complaints whenever anything happens!"

Tang Luo earnestly, as if transforming the tower stairs into an endless maze was some meaningful guidance.

...

Shen Dafa, Du Ting, Du Wei, and Du Ling had been trapped in this endless corridor for three days.

The three of them tried numerous ways to move, but whether up or down, they ultimately met each other on the stairs.

Yet if someone stops, it feels like they vanish, never meeting another person again. What’s more bizarre is that looking from the tower’s lookout window, the scene outside is always the same: the front platform of Unparalleled City, with Central Avenue in the distance.

The buildings on either side are changing daily, thanks to countless craftsmen’s efforts.

The laboring scene is beautiful, but the councilors can’t smile at all. Those swinging shovels and hammers, the workers joining the labor force with smiling faces, in their eyes, are just waste.

This is all part of Unparalleled City’s fiscal budget that should have been converted into resources for the warehouse or into spiritual tools and elixirs for contingency, but now all this money becomes wages.

Clearly, the workers should just be recruited with one meal, yet such high salaries are being offered for recruitment, even someone with such noble character finds Mi Bai’s extravagance unbearable.

It should be known that Unparalleled City’s fiscal situation improved only because of Unparalleled Academy’s establishment; before that, it was entirely in deficit.

Poor councilors look at the money flowing like water now and feel heartache.

Especially when the Wind Media Department reports that more and more Xiehe craftsmen are coming to Unparalleled City with their families, causing the councilors to panic completely.

What qualifies as a craftsman?

According to city hall’s standards, all those with manual skills or engage in a certain craft can be considered artisans.

So, all those wanting to try their luck aren’t limited to the Five Elements crafts.

Besides goldsmiths, silversmiths, coppersmiths, blacksmiths, tinsmiths, carpenters, roofers, and stonemasons, potters, weavers, sculptors also think they are artisans.

Moreover, cooks, actors, barbers, even pickle makers, oil refiners, piano players, and musicians also consider themselves craftsmen.

Ask yourselves, under this cursed world, who isn’t an artisan outside of martial artists in Xiehe?

Trying to survive in this damned world, anyone with no skills is dead!

But how big is Unparalleled City? Handling solo martial artists already nearly burst its seams, and now accommodating such a large group is sheer lunacy.

More importantly, those solo martial artists came to Unparalleled to spend money, but these people are here in Red Cloud to earn money!

When there’s no money to earn, squeezing even the city becomes impossible; how would Xiehe perceive Red Cloud Mountain?

Foreseeing such danger, the four councilors bypassed Mi Bai, intending to report to Tang Luo.

The result was being trapped in the endless corridor.

Just as the four councilors grew desperate, a final step of the corridor suddenly appeared before them, and the door to the dean’s office was right before their eyes.

Overwhelmed with joy, the four took two strides to every three steps and rushed toward the door, only to collide and stumble into the dean’s office.

"Bang, bang.."

The four Fierce Realm warriors unexpectedly collided, making an impact that shook the entire tower, then looked at each other in surprise and raised their heads.

Tang Luo sat behind the long table leisurely, observing them, then asked, "After walking this corridor for three days, such a long time should be enough for you to think everything clear. Now, if there’s anything to say, you may speak!"

The four stood properly, the Du Family trio tidying up their clothes and exchanging glances as if encouraging each other.

Shen Dafa, unaware of the hesitation from the three, directly stepped forward and said, "Dean, we can’t let Mi Bai continue with his nonsense!"

"You think he’s fooling around?"

Tang Luo smiled, then leaned back against the chair, pointing at the bustling labor scene from the window, "Explain to me, how is he fooling around?"
