Longzang

Chapter 437 Sending propositions

Bao Yun dragged two unconscious guards out of the flying boat and hid them behind a cargo box next to them. Then she said to Wei Yuan, who was staring in disbelief, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up, or the elders will find out."

Wei Yuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow her into the flying boat. The flying boat then took off and flew out of the Bao family's ancestral land before accelerating.

Bao Yun activated the formation with all her might, and the flying boat's speed increased rapidly. Watching the Bao family ancestral land gradually being left behind, Wei Yuan finally realized that this young lady was truly trying to escape!
Wei Yuan took over the formation and channeled his Dao power into it. With his immense Dao power, the flying boat instantly flew away as if it had been kicked by an immortal.

At the ancestral home of the Bao family, several young disciples were watching the flying boat sail away when it suddenly disappeared, startling them.

A handsome young man in the center shook his head and sighed, "It's good that he's gone."

A young man nearby sighed, "Ninth Brother, who knows when we'll see Little Sister again. Humph, that barbarian really got off easy."

The young man called Ninth Brother chuckled and said, "Watch your mouth. All of you combined are no match for that barbarian."

"Isn't there still you, Ninth Brother?"

The young man, whose skin was as smooth and white as jade, said, "I may not be his match either. Among the Dharma Aspects, perhaps only Uncle Baoshu can surpass him."

Another girl, clearly still a minor, asked, "Isn't it good that Sister Yun is marrying the young island lord? Why are you so opposed, Ninth Brother?"

"That's an arrangement, it's the idea of ​​those old men up there. What does 'arrangement' mean? It means that whether you like it or not, you have to do what they tell you to do. That barbarian in the Northwest may look annoying, but my little sister likes him, and that's enough," Bao Jiu said lazily.

By this time, the flying boat had long since disappeared, and the group of young people dispersed.

Inside the flying boat, Wei Yuan activated his full divine sense. Seeing no movement from the Bao family's ancestral land behind them and no one stealthily tracking them in the air, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and asked, "Why did you just run away like that? Where's your luggage?"

Bao Yun raised her left hand and shook the bracelets on her wrist. These bracelets were actually storage magic items, and the lowest grade of one of them was even better than the one Wei Yuan had just exchanged for.

Wei Yuan looked towards the direction of the Bao family's ancestral land, not even having a chance to greet Bao Manshan, and felt something was off.

Bao Yun knew what he was thinking and said, "We've already run away, if we don't run faster, wouldn't that be disrespectful to our great-grandfathers?"

Wei Yuan then realized that the Bao family's ancestral land was so quiet that even if the elders hadn't noticed, the Immortal Ancestor must already know. Everyone was pretending not to know, so of course they had to run fast to avoid any fools actually chasing after them.

At this moment, Wei Yuan was steering the boat when Bao Yun came over and asked, "There's one more question."

Wei Yuan was both helpless and terrified. This young master's questions were like a series of death traps; answering them well meant certain death, and answering them poorly also meant certain death.

Bao Yun said, "Your teacher always presents himself as a man, so how did your friendship develop? Do you like men?"

Wei Yuan nearly fainted; it was indeed another life-threatening question.

"Actually, for a while, I was really terrified and didn't understand why I... had those thoughts. Then the Great Curse of Cause and Effect descended..."

Wei Yuan briefly recounted his experience of surviving in the polar regions and his long escape, focusing on the near-death experiences, such as being possessed by an old ghost and almost successfully seizing its body. If it weren't for Zhang Sheng's Yang Lightning, he would now be the shell of that ten-thousand-year-old ghost, and naturally, he wouldn't be able to come and see Bao Yun.

Of course, she recounted in detail how her internal organs were completely destroyed, her heart was gone, and her eyesight was eroded. Sure enough, Bao Yun unconsciously clenched her fists as she listened, especially when she heard that Wei Yuan had woken up blind and hadn't been able to touch her heart; her breath even stopped for a moment.

"...Later, Yu Jing of Bei Liao chased me for over a million miles, but failed to catch me, allowing me to escape back to the Northern Mountain Gate." After recounting his horrific injuries from that year, Wei Yuan decisively ended the story.

Bao Yun sighed softly and said, "So you've suffered so much. Alright, since you're telling the truth this time, I'll give you a reward."

She looked at Wei Yuan, slowly moving closer and closer, her full, moist lips, which seemed as if they would break at the slightest touch, slightly pouted as she leaned in.

Wei Yuan could already feel the heat on her lips, and subconsciously held his breath!

But Bao Yun suddenly pushed Wei Yuan hard, almost knocking him over, and then returned to her original position, smiling at Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and focused on piloting the flying boat.

A small boat traversed thousands of mountains and rivers, finally returning to the Azure Sky.

Upon setting foot on the azure earth, the spiritual energy of the vast land surged once more, and then hundreds of wandering souls entered the gate of reincarnation, becoming new mortals.

Wei Yuan first took Bao Yun on a tour of various places in Qingming, and then they met up with old friends from Taichu Palace to catch up. Everyone was naturally very happy to see Bao Yun return, except for Feng Tingyu, whose face was slightly clouded.

At this time, Yu Zhizhuo and Sun Yu were making final preparations for the Dharma Image, waiting for Wei Yuan to return so that they could concentrate on using Jia Wood to generate Xuan and instantaneous beings before starting their seclusion.

Wei Yuan opened the "Instantaneous Beings" skill several times for both of them, allowing them to touch the realm of Dharma Form ahead of time. Then, that very night, Yu Zhizhuo and Sun Yu began their seclusion. Wei Yuan then blessed their seclusion location with the "Jia Wood Generating Profound" technique and had Xu Wenwu move in there.

Wei Yuan then went to the northwest and chose a place with complex terrain and auspicious feng shui points at the edge of the boundary as the new city site. The new city lord was Bao Yun.

Wei Yuan gathered all the refugees who had recently arrived in Qingming and placed them in the new city; this area numbered approximately 18,000 to 19,000. He then selected another batch of high- to mid-grade sacrificial offerings, about 4,000 to 5,000. Finally, he chose several thousand more prisoners from the Xu family's private army, bringing the total to 30,000. Wei Yuan then deployed 3,000 elite troops to serve as the city's defense force.

The new city was named Ding'an City, and it was more than 400 miles away from the center of Qingming, just one step away from crossing the boundary.

With the new city's leadership in place, Wei Yuan announced Bao Yun as the city lord, implying that the city might eventually belong to the Bao family. Within Ding'an City, Bao Yun's authority was equivalent to Wei Yuan's.

Upon receiving the order, Wei Yuan instantly saw hundreds of cyan auras converge on Bao Yun! The speed at which these new city residents bowed down in worship was beyond Wei Yuan's imagination.

Back then, Wei Yuan risked his life and fought countless battles before he began to reap the rewards of his luck. The previous batches didn't even have as much as Bao Yun has now. Why? Just because she's pretty?
The selection of these city dwellers by Wei Yuan was deliberate. These newly arrived refugees in Qingming hadn't yet met Wei Yuan and were just beginning to build a better life; they were the most likely to generate good fortune. As long as Bao Yun provided them with a peaceful and prosperous life, human fortune would naturally follow.

The same principle applies to sacrificial offerings.

The Xu family's private army had long held the concept of powerful clans deep in their bones. Bao Yun was a direct descendant of the Bao family, a genius, and this city was essentially Bao Yun's private property. Joining this city was tantamount to joining the Bao family, which was far more powerful than the Xu family. They could walk sideways with impunity when they met their former colleagues, and even government troops wouldn't dare to block their way. Therefore, this group was the quickest to pay homage and contributed the most fortune.

Although Ding'an City only has a population of over 30,000, Wei Yuan estimates that it will soon have a thousand strands of azure fortune. After the Wu tribe is defeated and Bao Yun leads the people to defend the city, the fortune might reach two thousand. With the gradual addition of residents, the resulting human fortune should be able to slowly repair her damaged foundation.
