Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

She could only watch helplessly as the Flower Goddess calmly faced her death.

“So Ahmar and my plan are not really important, Buyer, anyway it is bound to fail, I am bound to leave, and you can’t stop it,” said Flora. “But I have found an alternative plan behind this plan.”

The elegant woman with long, flowing golden-red hair reached out her hand to her best friend, her smile this time even more genuine. "You wouldn't want me to die like this, would you, Bouyer?"

The Tree King sighed. "What are your alternative plans?"

“I have foreseen the fate of that little colt. He has the ability to provide a safety net for all of us to make mistakes,” the Flower Goddess said calmly. “The country that child wants to build is more audacious than any fantasy, but it may be the key for me to truly find my future. I want to step into his country, so that even if Ahmar’s plan fails completely, I can step out of that child’s country in the distant future and continue Ahmar’s plan.”

The Tree King understood her metaphor, and she also figured out what the "Sweet Kingdom" really meant. Although somewhat shocked, after pondering for a while, she finally sighed and took her hand: "I can't stop you anymore."

"But I invite you to come with me into his kingdom, so we can share this sweetness together." The Flower Goddess pulled the Tree King into her arms and whispered, "After all, it's not just me. If one day it really happens that you also perish, I hope you and I can have a chance to start over."

"Alright, alright, Sweet Kingdom, I'll go with you then." The Tree King said helplessly, "But did you have some kind of prophecy about me? Why did you suddenly say that I would also perish... I'm not involved in your rebellious acts against the laws of nature. Besides, that little pony's ability is so precious, how can you be so sure he'll use it on us?"

"Just trust me about the prophecy. I have my own way of entering his kingdom." The goddess of flowers smiled slightly. "After all, no matter how glorious the future may be, he is just an innocent little colt right now. I can just beckon him and he will waver."

————————————————————

At this very moment, the little pony, which the two queens jokingly called a colt, was riding its ponies toward the camp set up in the Woodcutters Valley.

He couldn't ride a horse, but after training with Gan Yu for so many days, he thought he had, so he confidently made a fool of himself. Along the way, the Thousand Rock Army soldiers stationed with the army all turned their heads away when they saw Shen Liang struggling to twist the horse's head to force the foal to walk in a straight line, so as not to laugh out loud at Inazuma's little princess and make her angry.

"You're strangling the horse to death!" Fanan finally couldn't stand it anymore. He jumped off his horse, grabbed Shen Liang's reins to stop him, then lifted Shen Liang off and jumped onto his own horse, placing him in front of him. "Giddy up!"

"You have to learn slowly." Shen Liang leaned against his little lover's soft embrace, not caring at all. He looked up and saw the girl's pink lips, and subconsciously straightened up as if to ask for a kiss.

Fa Nan quickly stepped aside and whispered, "This is a military camp; there are many people watching."

"Can't it be done in the military?"

"It is forbidden to openly discuss romantic relationships in the military camp. Even if Your Highness is mistaken for a girl, it is still forbidden. Romantic relationships between women are not allowed. This is a rule that was specially added by Second Sister Yingda. Being intimate in the military camp can easily arouse resentment among others."

"I see." Shen Liang was very sensible and sat back down.

“Your Highness can do whatever you want after we get back.” Fa Nan’s face flushed slightly. “Not back to Ji Palace… just back to our own tent. Fa Nan is also a little… hungry.”

"Then can you transform into a yaksha with a fish tail and let me ride you for a ride over the Sky Lava Abyss?"

Fa Nan's expression turned cold, and she turned her face away. "No."

"Sister Fanan has gone back on her word." Shen Liang was very unhappy.

"Yes, I went back on my word."

Several horses quickly arrived at the army camp. The Thousand Rocks Army was encamped in a small village in the Woodcutter's Valley. The villagers had long since evacuated, and now only the Thousand Rocks Army's Tiger Might Army and Wind Flame Army remained, along with the Red Cloud Cavalry, the elite force under Yingda's command. Unlike the two large armies, which together numbered over 100,000, the Red Cloud Cavalry consisted of fewer than a thousand men, all elite female soldiers under Yingda's command. Dressed entirely in red skirts and red armor, the Red Cloud Cavalry rode their warhorses with the speed of the wind as they raided the camp, resembling streaks of fiery red clouds on the battlefield.

In the era before the Iron Pagoda fell, the Red Cloud Cavalry and the Iron Pagoda were a model of cooperation between light and heavy cavalry. But now that the Iron Pagoda is gone, the Red Cloud Cavalry can only cooperate with the army to fight battles that are not really suitable for cavalry.

But there was no other way. Among the five Yakshas, ​​Fushe and Minu were the main forces fighting on the front lines. Yingda was good at fighting generals, Xiao was good at beheading, and Fanan was the leader of the navy. His three younger siblings didn't really have enough manpower to fight in the Layered Rock Abyss, so his presence was already the greatest help he could offer.

As soon as she dismounted, someone in the tent pulled back the curtain and came out upon hearing the sound of hooves. Yingda happily opened her arms and hurried forward. Fanan also smiled and reached out to welcome her sister's embrace. Since the turmoil in the Layered Rock Abyss intensified, she hadn't seen Yingda for two months, and Yingda must have missed her terribly.

Then Yingda completely ignored her sister and happily went over to hug the white-clad boy who had jumped off his horse, ruffling his white tuft of hair. "Your Highness! Give me a kiss! Mmm! It's been so long since I've seen Liang'er's tender, juicy face. I've missed you so much! Did you miss me while you were at Ji Palace? Or were you so happy with my sister that you forgot about me? No way! Fanan and I swore to marry the same wife!"

Fa Nan was so angry she was practically fuming, clutching the creases of her leather jacket tightly. "He's definitely a die-hard yuri fanatic! This guy probably thinks about Shen Liang every day in the army camp, using her as a snack! And who swore to you they'd marry a wife? Don't spout nonsense to outsiders for your own purposes! My orientation has always been perfectly normal!"

Shen Liang wiped the drool off his face and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "I'm not your wife."

“Liang’er is fine! Or the other way around, I can be your wife, I don’t mind whether you’re on top or on the bottom, I’m fine with either!” Ying Da happily grabbed his hand and pulled him into the tent. As soon as they entered, they saw a burly man with four arms sitting in meditation on a tiger-skin chair in the middle of the tent.

Shen Liang frowned. Because of the frequent outbursts of his holy blood, he was very sensitive to "life force." Whenever it went berserk, he needed someone with "life force" by his side to help him relax and alleviate the pain of burning blood. Therefore, he could sense that Fu She's life force was much weaker than when they first met.

"What happened to Uncle Fushe?" Shen Liang asked.

"Why is he called Uncle Fushe? You call me sister, shouldn't you call him brother?" Yingda muttered. "Well... you can see that, right? Brother Fushe's karma is so thick that it's almost materialized, so ordinary people are not allowed to enter this military camp. He's trying his best to suppress his will, because the most serious consequence of being burdened by karma is not physical decay, but rather a mental breakdown, just like Mi Nu."

"He can't make a move now?"

“Yes, that’s why we need manpower to lay the telegraph machine. Brother Fushe needs to rest now. After he returned from leading the troops in battle last time, his mind was a bit unclear. He was looking at me, but it seemed like he remembered his deceased sister-in-law.” Yingda sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Liang’er, since you’re here… regarding my brother, I hope… that is…”

She couldn't bring herself to say it. She knew the side effects of Shen Liang using her abilities, so she could only look at her sister and ask her to say it for her.

Chapter Ninety-One: One Eight-Fold Divine Child Can Do the Work of Three

Fanan looked a little embarrassed. She pulled her sister and ran out of the tent. The two sisters whispered to each other.

"You can't say it yourself, so you expect me to beg Liang'er to treat my brother?" Fa Nan complained. "Do you know what will happen if Liang'er uses too much power?"

"Gan Yu vaguely mentioned that... the blood would burn?" Ying Da scratched his head unhappily, pacing back and forth. "I know it's very painful. You also said that even if Liang'er breaks bones or his hand, he can still smile and act nonchalantly, but he can't stand the torment of burning blood. It can even make his brain go haywire, and he'll call you 'Mom' when he sees you. But... but..."

Fanan knew what Yingda meant, but in terms of the degree of torment alone, the pain Shen Liang suffered from using her abilities was no less than the karmic erosion caused by Fushe. However, Fushe was her elder brother, and ultimately, they were closer. Everyone has selfish desires, and even if the other person is suffering, they still hope that the other person can lend a helping hand.

"Besides, Liang'er has tried it before, and he's managed to hold on until now... At least, at least Liang'er won't face the risk of a complete mental breakdown like my older brother did." Ying Da gritted his teeth. "There's always a way to treat Liang'er's illness; after all, he's still perfectly fine!"

Fa Nan glanced at her, thinking to himself, "There is indeed a solution, but why should someone help you for no reason? After helping, why let those two kids deal with the aftermath?"

Those two little guys spent a full six months acting as Liang'er's "doctor" to deal with the aftermath of her battle with Oser! They were finally almost fully recovered, and now they want to do it again? Of course, those two little guys wouldn't want to do it again!

Fa Nan misjudged the almost perverse interests of the little fox and the little doll; she truly judged them by her own standards this time.

For her, the thought of doing *that* kind of thing still felt quite humiliating. Despite repeatedly telling herself to treat this little wildcat as her man, and that a girlfriend should try her best to meet her lover's needs… Fa Nan felt that even if she and Shen Liang were to marry in the future, it would be best to avoid such things after marriage.

Moreover, this time, in order to improve combat effectiveness, I didn't bring the little fox who is most capable of "being a doctor." Although I feel bad about saying that, Yae no Miko can do the work of three people if necessary.

After much deliberation, Fa Nan glanced at his older sister with a rather profound look in his eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yingda was baffled.

“Since you need their help, you should resolve any potential problems they might have. As your younger sister, I can put in a good word for you with His Highness, but as for how to help your elder brother, you should ask them for help yourself, Second Sister,” Fa Nan said calmly.

"Why do you say that? He's your older brother. Besides, aren't you and Liang'er close? I heard you two are trying to date recently."

"Hasn't Second Sister always been quite interested in His Highness? How about I treat you and His Highness to some time alone?" Fa Nan smiled slightly. "Second Sister should use her charm to try and make His Highness willingly help you."

Yingda stared at her in astonishment.

"What you're saying is... wait, Xiao Wu, aren't you jealous?"

"What's there to be jealous about girls being affectionate with each other? Don't worry, Second Sister. I've recently come to understand the beauty of girls. A lovely and well-behaved beauty like Liang'er shouldn't be mine to keep all to myself," Fa Nan said calmly. "Sharing Liang'er would be a wonderful thing. Do we sisters need to distinguish between each other?"

"Oh, I knew you'd understand my good intentions sooner or later, Little Five! What's so good about those rough men? They're all made of dirty mud. Only we girls are made of clean, pure water. What's it called again? Ice-like skin and jade-like bones, naturally cool and sweatless!" Yingda happily picked up her sister and spun her around. "As expected of my little darling! Don't worry, I won't keep your sweet and soft princess all to myself. I promise to train her to be even more charming! Then we sisters will have a shared possession!"

Fa Nan blushed slightly at her sister's bold words, but she still looked away so that her sister wouldn't see her somewhat ashamed expression.

I'm sorry, sister, but I'm your closest sister, right? It's okay for a sister to sacrifice a little for her sister, right? By the way, let me help you straighten out your twisted aesthetic sense. We're the only Yakshas left. You can't indulge in lesbian feelings. You have to bravely shoulder the responsibility of procreation!

————————————————————

In the following days, Shen Liang, along with Alice and Rosalin, began to take over the work of setting up radio stations in various war zones.

The telegraph system is progressing normally, with the staff of the Huishan Hall working overtime to support them. Raiden Shin was initially led by Inazuma and Liyue, which explains the extensive network of underground cables they've dug over the years.

As long as Shen Liang sets up a radio station in one place and connects it to the telegraph base station of Jigong, an area can join the "full telegraph system" communication. Not to mention calling Jigong and Yujingtai, if you have a secondary password, you can even call Tianshouka.

Even if the enemy is very powerful and cuts off the cables leading to the Jigong base station, at least the several radio stations in the Layered Rock Abyss war zone can form a local area network and carry out real-time communication.

Although there are still very few telegraph operators in Liyue, there are more than enough to distribute to each military camp. The telegraph operators are now learning fast typing skills from Shen Liang, and many soldiers have also started to learn. This will ensure that each military camp will have people who can master typing in the future, so that the death of a telegraph operator will not completely destroy the precious radio station.

The Tiangongxia Camp, home to 2,800 Qianyan Army soldiers, is a camp requiring special attention. It is also the closest camp to the entrance to the underground mine, known as the "Mouth of the Abyss."

A small troop marched towards the camp, rounding a secluded cliff corner, until they saw the flat area that had once been used for drying ore, but was now a campsite. The horses stopped, and Shen Liang, Ying Da, Alice, Rosalin, and three staff members from Huishan Hall dismounted together.

"Liang'er, look." Alice noticed something unusual about the location of this military camp.

Shen Liang looked ahead and saw a row of cowsheds that stretched for two kilometers. The two kilometers was an estimated distance, because the cowsheds had been abandoned for a long time, and many parts were damaged and collapsed due to the occasional appearance of underground monsters on the surface. Many soldiers probably lived in the cowsheds.

"They actually raise so many cattle in a place like this?" Shen Liang found it very strange.

Ying Da said, "This is not just a cowshed. Sixty percent of it is used to raise cattle, twenty percent to raise horses, and the remaining twenty percent to raise pack animals that carry Mount Sumeru."

"This is a mining area, why were so many animals kept here in the past?"

Yingda replied, "This is the livestock farm established by the Huishan Hall in the Laminar Rock Abyss. It is the largest mine in Liyue, producing not only precious minerals such as luminous stone and jade, but also serving as the source of building materials for the entire Liyue. Every brick and tile in Liyue Harbor, every stone needed, must be transported from the Laminar Rock Abyss. Human manpower is simply insufficient to handle such a huge carrying capacity, so we raise many cattle and horses nearby to be responsible for transporting the vehicles."

"Isn't it Tianheng Mountain?" Shen Liang remembered that the construction resources of Liyue Harbor were mainly the responsibility of the Tianheng Mountain Blackrock Factory.

“Mount Tianheng is only so big, and the stone needed for the entire Liyue region wouldn't be enough even if you hollowed out one mountain. The Laminaria Grande has been mined for over a thousand years, and it can still be mined downwards. We can't waste the excess stone we extract.” After explaining, Yingda turned to the Huishan Hall staff accompanying them, “Are all those animals dead?”

"Most of them died, and a small number were found and returned to us by farmers from the surrounding villages. At that time, we fed the Thousand Rock Army here meat for a week," the staff member replied. "Because we lost these vehicle animals, the minecarts could only stay in place. After being idle for half a year, they are basically all scrapped. To restore production in the Layered Rock Abyss... even if we close the Beast Realm now and clean up the black mud, it will still take us at least half a year to develop."

Yingda sighed.

At this moment, Iris suddenly asked, "How much stone can a cow transport to Liyue Harbor in a day?"

Without hesitation, the staff member replied, "It's not calculated by the day. It takes a week for an ox to pull a cart to Liyue Harbor, which is about two tons of stone. A horse would take two days, but could only carry one ton. Pack animals can carry ten tons, but they are the slowest, taking about half a month."

"This cowshed..." Alice asked curiously, "How many cows are there?"

"The total length of the cattle shed is five li and four li, and the grazing area is 30,000 square meters. It is the largest cattle farm in Liyue, with a total of 2,400 adult yellow cattle, 600 pack horses, and 600 pack animals."

"More than two thousand cattle?" Even Shen Liang was taken aback. "They're all dead? That's so much good beef! If so many cattle were put on the market, they could cause prices to collapse."

“Beef isn’t just any ordinary meat. Most of the meat eaten by the people of Liyue is farmed and domesticated wild boar. Cattle are a source of labor, and their meat is generally very expensive. So the soldiers who came to the front lines this time are in for a treat. The quartermaster still has some meat left over from storing in the cellar.” Yingda nodded, finally managing a smile. Then she looked at Shen Liang and suddenly asked, “How much stone can these guys transport in a week?”

"The cattle weigh 4,800 tons, the horses 2,100 tons, and the pack animals 3,000 tons, for a total of 9,900 tons." Shen Liang was always quick at math.

Rosalyn, who had been listening in, was getting a little bored. She glanced at her teacher, Alice, and saw that Alice and Yingda had exchanged a glance and smiled slightly.
