Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

“No need.” Qing Yanjing’s gaze was fixed, and she said softly, “As long as I can be by your side, that’s enough.”

Zhang Yuan didn't say much, but raised his head and let out a long howl.

Before long, the Purple Thunder Cloud Eagle descended from the sky and landed in front of the two, its posture respectful.

In six months, it had been trained by Ling Ying to be very obedient and completely subservient to Zhang Yuan.

"Let's go to Qingyan Town."

Zhang Yuan led Qing Yanjing onto the back of the Purple Thunder Cloud Eagle.

Half an hour later, the outline of Qingyan Town came into view.

"Wait for me here. I'll come as soon as I go."

After giving Qing Yanjing a few words of advice, Zhang Yuan transformed his strange fire into wings and jumped off the back of the Purple Thunder Cloud Eagle.

A few breaths later, Zhang Yuan landed in front of a camp tent, and the black-armored guards on patrol were not surprised at all.

"I want to see the Commander," Zhang Yuan said.

Before the guards could report, Qin Zhenming's voice came from inside the tent: "Come in."

Zhang Yuan pushed open the curtain and entered, finding that Qin Jingyan and Yao Ye were present, in addition to Qin Zhenming.

"Commander, has my application been approved?" Zhang Yuan asked directly.

Qin Zhenming looked helpless and said, "It's been approved, but there are some changes in the details."

"Oh?" Zhang Yuan looked like he was all ears.

Qin Zhenming took out a scroll and said, "Zhang Yuan, the captain of the Xuanzi Battalion of the Black Armor Guard, has made outstanding military achievements and defeated Commander Qin Zhenming in a head-on battle. His request to become the city lord of Shimo City is hereby approved, and he shall go to Shimo City to take office within one year."

"At the same time, Zhang Yuan is granted the special privilege of being appointed as the commander of the Black Armor Guard, and is free to recruit 2,500 soldiers to form a new battalion, with the right to directly contact the royal family."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Becoming the lord of Stone Desert City is his next plan.

In the Jia Ma Empire, the lords of top-ranking large cities or border strongholds must possess at least the strength of a Dou Wang (Battle King). (Salt City: One-Star Dou Wang; Mo City: Nine-Star Dou Wang; Black Rock City: One-Star Dou Wang; Black Flame City: One-Star Dou Wang; the three major fortresses in the Southern Territory have a total of ten Dou Wangs.)

In contrast, the lord of a typical large city must at least be a Dou Ling (Double Spirit) level cultivator. For example, Stone Desert City, located in the Tagor Desert in the eastern province and a satellite city of Desert City, is a prime example.

After becoming the city lord, he naturally could no longer hold a military post, but unexpectedly, the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire appointed him as the commander.

"Is this your masterpiece?"

Zhang Yuan looked at Yao Ye, whose expression of seeking praise was all too obvious.

“Not entirely.” Yao Ye composed himself and said seriously, “Seven days ago, you, sir, completely defeated Commander Qin Zhenming with the strength of a peak Great Dou Master. In addition, you have mastered the flying Dou Technique, so you may be able to compete with a Dou King.”

"With such combat strength, it would be a waste to only make you the lord of a satellite city, but it would be inappropriate to directly make you the lord of a major city. Therefore, we have made you concurrently hold a military position, which is permissible for a lord of a military city."

Having studied under Zhang Yuan for six months, no one understood Zhang Yuan's military talent better than Yao Ye.

His failure to command troops was a loss for the Gama Empire, so he was given the title of commander.

Stone Desert City, as one of the cities directly bordering the Serpent People tribe of the Empire, is a military city.

Yao Ye believed that Zhang Yuan had the ability to completely eliminate the snake-people tribe and relieve the pressure on the eastern provinces of the empire.

“That’s a good idea.”

Zhang Yuan praised, "But have you ever considered whether I would be willing to take on both jobs?"

Yao Ye's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly composed himself, cupped his fists, and asked, "Would you be willing, sir?"

Zhang Yuan didn't answer, but instead rubbed his fingers together.

It means: You have to pay more!

Yao Ye had expected this, and although he inwardly grumbled, he remained outwardly calm and said, "Triple merit rewards!"

"That's more like it." Zhang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

He said "working for someone else" casually; he was actually working for himself.

But since the Gama Empire was offering him resources, there was no need to refuse.

“Then it’s settled.” Zhang Yuan took the scroll and said calmly, “After I go on a trip for a few months, I will report to Stone Desert City and, while I’m at it, establish the Thunder Battalion Black Armor Guard.”

"Commander, you can proceed with the extermination of the monsters here as opportunities arise."

Qing Yanjing's existence only proves the feasibility of the plan and helps the Xuanzi Battalion quickly increase its military merits.

To fully implement the monster eradication plan, it must be carried out without Qing Yanjing.

Qin Zhenming understood this principle, so he didn't try to stop him. Besides, he had no face to try, since he was no match for Zhang Yuan now.

"Wait a moment, sir."

Watching Zhang Yuan's departing figure, Yao Ye took a step forward and asked, "Are you going to Stone Desert City to deal with the Snake People?"

Please vote for recommendations, please vote for me monthly!

If the data is good, I'll update it with 10,000 words daily!

Chapter 62 Three Goddesses in Intercourse! Xun'er Has a Conscience

The Serpent People were the first unique race.

In the eyes of humans, the snake people are members of the beast family, while in the eyes of the beast family, the snake people are considered human.

This led to both humans and monsters disliking the snake people, and the snake people's living space was thus compressed.

There were also snake peoples within the Gama Empire. They were driven to the depths of the Tagor Desert, the harshest place in the eastern province of the empire, where they formed a snake people tribe.

The Snake-People tribe is not weak overall. It has a Medusa Queen at the peak of the Dou Huang level and several Dou Wang level powerhouses. Living in the Tagor Desert, they can be regarded as a natural barrier in the eastern part of the empire.

However, the empire did not lower its guard against the eastern provinces. Instead, it built several important military cities around the Tagor Desert, and never stopped thinking about completely eliminating the snake people.

Mo City is located in the Tagor Desert in the eastern province. Its lord is a nine-star Dou Wang powerhouse. It is one of the important cities facing the Snake-Man Tribe. Due to various reasons, it also established the satellite city Shimo City.

Satellite cities are new cities built within a certain area under the jurisdiction of a major city. They are related to the major city as mother and child. As a child city, it needs to accept some of the population, commerce, and production pressure from the mother city. Stone Desert City is a buffer zone between Desert City and the Snake People Tribe, and can also be said to be a bridgehead for offense, defense, and surveillance.

Zhang Yuan volunteered to become the city lord of Shimo City, which made Yao Ye think that he had his eye on the snake people and wanted to do something.

"Yes."

Zhang Yuan glanced back at Yao Ye, a meaningful smile on his face, and said, "I'm going to completely eliminate the Snake-People tribe so that it will never oppose me again."

As soon as he finished speaking, strange fire wings appeared on Zhang Yuan's back, and his body soared into the sky.

Looking at the curtain fluttering in the wind, Yao Ye smiled and said, "I knew it would be like this. If it were you, sir, you could definitely solve the Snake People tribe completely."

Qin Jingyan frowned; he felt that Zhang Yuan's answer had some deeper meaning.

However, seeing how happy Yao Ye was, he didn't intend to express his feelings.

Regardless of the circumstances, Zhang Yuan, being a human, could not possibly harm the interests of the human race.

"Shh!"

Zhang Yuan ascended rapidly and returned to the back of the Purple Thunder Cloud Eagle a few breaths later.

"Brother Yuan, have you taken care of everything?" Qing Yanjing asked with concern.

"Yes, there were some unexpected surprises as well." Zhang Yuan handed the scroll to Qing Yanjing without any hesitation.

He then sat down cross-legged and ordered, "Go, fly northeast."

With a flap of its wings, the Purple Thunder Cloud Eagle began to fly at top speed.

Qing Yanjing opened the scroll and quickly read through its contents. Her eyes brightened slightly as she said, "So, we'll be living in Stone Desert City for a long time to come?"

"Yes." Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "That place is very important to me, and I want to manage it well."

Qing Yanjing knelt down beside Zhang Yuan, returned the scroll, and asked, "When are we going? How can I help you?"

"No rush." ​​Zhang Yuan put the scroll away and said, "Without sufficient strength, I can't do much in Stone Desert City. I need to explore the Illusionary Mist Mountains first, and then go back to the Xiao family to take care of some matters."

Upon hearing this, Qing Yanjing's heart skipped a beat, and she asked awkwardly, "If you go back to the Xiao family, should I go with you?"

Zhang Yuan turned to look at her and smiled, "Given our current relationship, of course we should let your uncle meet you. Don't worry, they are all very easy to talk to, and Xun'er won't make things difficult for you."

In the Dou Qi Continent, strength reigns supreme. It's not uncommon for men to have multiple wives and concubines, and women can also marry many men, as long as they have the strength to keep them in check.

In his previous life, Zhang Yuan would definitely be a scumbag, but he was a scumbag in a clear and unambiguous way. He could say sweet words but would never use flattery to deceive women. He was domineering in some ways but would never force women.

When he was with Qing Yanjing, he never concealed the existence of Xun'er and Xiao Yixian.

He would write letters to Xun'er and Xiao Yixian every month, and he never concealed Qing Yanjing's existence.

Therefore, Qing Yanjing, Little Fairy Doctor, and Xun'er have long been acquainted with each other through their spiritual connection.

"It's not that I'm afraid Xun'er will make things difficult for me," Qing Yanjing said, lowering her head and her earlobes turning slightly red. "It's just that I'm embarrassed to face her."

Zhang Yuan and Xun'er were childhood sweethearts and were the first to realize their feelings for each other.

But now, she's the first to win over Zhang Yuan, which feels a bit like cheating.

"Then make her some of her favorite desserts, she definitely won't give you any trouble," Zhang Yuan said confidently.

Given Xun'er's personality, she would definitely not make things difficult for Qing Yanjing.

However, judging from his own words, the "outcome" probably won't be too good.

We need to start preparing now, and then we'll have to coax that little girl properly.

"What does Xun'er like to eat?" Qing Yanjing's eyes turned serious: "I need to practice more."

Zhang Yuan smiled and named several desserts.

Xun'er was a picky eater from a young age. She didn't like strong-flavored foods or staple foods, but loved sweets.

In order to ensure that she had a balanced diet, he often forced Xun'er to eat various kinds of meat with the bloodline of magical beasts.

For example, eating chicken, eating intestines, and eating turtle shells.

"I must win over Xun'er's stomach," Qing Yanjing said earnestly.

"You can definitely do it," Zhang Yuan encouraged with a smile.

Ling Ying nodded secretly, also thinking that Qing Yanjing was fine.

Since the latter broke through to the Dou Ling realm, the taste of his cooking has improved dramatically, even better than what he ate at the Food God's Abode in Zhongzhou.
