Three Kingdoms Lords: Starting by walking into the mouth of a giant python

Chapter 71 Queen Mao

Chapter 72 Queen Mao

The Long-haired Kingdom is one of the Hundred Tribes of the Mountains and Seas. Its strength is weak, comparable to the Short-haired Kingdom, the Cross-legged People, and the Tall-heeled People; all are at the bottom of the Yellow-rank.

Among the mountains and seas, there are quite a few races with excessive body hair, but those like the [Long-haired Kingdom], who "have hair and no clothes, and are like apes," are few and far between. Among the [Yellow Species], only the [Hairy People Kingdom] and the [Hairy People Kingdom] are such races.

There is also a Mao people in the north of Xuangu, but since the two tribes came into contact, the Mao people have been looking down on each other, disliking each other's good and bad ways, and have been unable to get along.

The Maomin Kingdom claims to be descended from Yu the Great and Xuanyuan, valuing etiquette and appearance. They despise the Longhair Kingdom, who live in caves and water, as filthy as pigs.

The Long-haired Kingdom says that the Maomin Kingdom "uses the name of King Yu" and has a disease of cleanliness, not recognizing the beauty of the world in the mud and the beauty of dirty hair.

The two groups clashed repeatedly.

Because the [Mao Min] could command four birds, and the [Long-haired Kingdom] was inept at responding, they remained at a disadvantage.

Later, a strange species—a white-haired one—was born in the [Long-haired Country].

In terms of fur color, both the "hairy people" and the "long-haired people" have black fur, while white fur is an anomaly.

[The Mao people] mocked, "A white rhinoceros gives birth to a cub, which is then donated to a pig latrine," to which [the long-haired people] remained silent, unable to respond. A Mao suggested abandoning it in the wilderness. After several discussions within the country, they ultimately could not bear to abandon it.

Years have passed, and white fur has grown.

One day, he strode into the "Kingdom of the Hairy People" with a pine sword. Before everyone's eyes, he killed a hair. The "hairy people" were enraged and attacked him en masse, but they could not capture him.

White Hair broke through the encirclement but did not retreat. He turned back into the city, killed all the gossipy old men, and then left with his sword.

From then on, neither tribe spoke of "white rhinoceros" or "different species".

White Hair was crowned king.

The long-haired people hoped that the new king would lead them to conquer the "hairy nation" to vent their pent-up frustrations, but the white-haired people had no interest in this.

She prefers the quiet of the pine forest.

Li Yu spent most of the night working on the riverbank protecting the village before finally cleaning up the ninety-nine [Long-haired Men] and storing them in the [Square Pot].

The [Long-haired Man] has five characteristics, including "building cities, farming, and digging caves," demonstrating a full range of skills in both industry and agriculture. They also possess "water dwellings and hairy armor," and can develop into a [sailor] type.

It is highly malleable.

At this time, the "hairy men" were all in poor condition.

They were all absent-minded and bewildered. Even when they saw the blue sea, clear springs, tall towers, and distant mountains, they showed little reaction.

Li Yu understood. After all, having his "greasy hair" and "slicked-back hair" that he had been so proud of for many years, being washed clean overnight, it was inevitable that he would feel a sense of "collapse of faith and utter despair".

But while understanding is important, the so-called "beauty in the mud and the beauty in the grime" must be smashed, eliminated, and swept away. Then, their concepts and habits must be reshaped.

…………

The stench from the pot had not yet dissipated, and the Snake Princess was fanning herself with two lotus leaves. Beside her stood a woman in white.

Her radiant beauty and captivating charm, her dazzling color and allure.

Her appearance was absolutely stunning, surpassing even Wang Rong and the Snake Queen by a hair's breadth. However, from head to toe, except for her face, she was covered entirely in white fur, as if she were wearing a plain white fur coat.

[Description] "The Hairy Woman, whose given name was Yu Jiang, lived in the Huayin Mountains. Mountain hermits and hunters saw her generation after generation. Her body was covered in hair, and she claimed to be a palace woman of Qin Shi Huang. After the fall of Qin, she fled to the mountains for refuge, where she met the Daoist Gu Chun, who taught her to eat pine needles. She then no longer suffered from hunger or cold, and her body became as light as flying. By the Western Han Dynasty, more than 170 years had passed since then." — *Biographies of Immortals*

[The Pine Tree Method]: Seek longevity by eating pine trees.

Unlike the ordinary six-foot-tall [hairy people], [Queen Hair] is tall and upright, standing at least seven feet tall even barefoot.

Her eyes were clear and bright. Upon seeing Li Yu, she lowered her head and bowed gracefully.

Its head is covered in clean, soft white hair, like clouds, waves, necklaces, or light gauze, and it carries a faint scent of pine.

Li Yu smiled and nodded.

Very good.

Unfortunately, he was also mute.

The Long-haired Kingdom speaks a human language, but not a human tongue. This is true for the Male Hair, Female Hair, and Young Hair tribes, and even the Queen Hair tribe is no exception.

Li Yu turned to the remaining [hairy people] and said sternly, "All people of the [Hairy Country] must ensure that their bodies and hair are clean. Anyone who disobeys will have their hair shaved off a thousand times."

After he finished speaking, the previously listless [long-haired man] immediately erupted into a clamor.

Roaring and buzzing, a cacophony of noises arose.

Li Yu watched quietly, and after a moment, he ordered [Snake Princess] to take out the five most disruptive individuals and shave off a tuft of hair from each of them.

One of the hairs resisted fiercely, but [Snake Princess] knocked it down with a single tail, and Li Yu casually shaved its head.

Chengyi [baldness].

Upon seeing this, Yu Jiushisi [the long-haired man] fell into complete silence.

Beside her, the virtuous and peaceful Queen Mao also had her white fur slightly bristling, and her posture was more upright.

Next, Li Yu issued some regulations and gave some instructions—

"All people of the [Long-haired Country] must go to live in the sea, or their hair will be shaved off."

"Entering the [Fountain of Aganepe] is forbidden; violators will have their hair shaved."

"When working in the [Fairy Garden], one must not trample on it at will; violators will have their hair shaved off."

"Paving the road with stones..."

"Picking fruits..."

With each word Li Yu spoke, the "long-haired man" nodded in agreement, without the slightest hesitation.

Once everything was settled, the group of hairy cats lined up and headed to the beach.

[Queen Mao] walked up to Li Yu, pointed to a pine forest on a small hill on [Fanghu] Island, and then pointed to herself.

Li Yu understood what she meant.

[Queen Mao] has no [water dwelling] and cannot go to the sea, so she must find a place to live on land. She usually keeps company with pine trees, so she naturally chose to live in the pine forest.

Li Yu readily agreed, giving a few instructions such as "supervise the [long-haired people] to work" and "if they don't perform well, they'll have to be shaved," before sending her off.

Finally, things quieted down. Li Yu then remembered that the usually lively [Thirteen Ants] was nowhere to be seen. So he asked [Snake Princess].

[Snake Princess] flicked her snake tail and pointed it towards the small pond.

Li Yu walked over and saw a lotus leaf floating on the water.

In the lotus leaf, the large characters "Thirteen Ants" lay, fast asleep.

Underwater, the horse-faced greentail cub, holding a leaf stem in its mouth, swam slowly.

Li Yu felt relieved, turned around and went to the [Immortal Abode Stele], picked up the bamboo slips, and leaned against the snake's tail to read them.

[System]: Congratulations, player, for reading...

"[system]:……"

Snapped.

The bamboo slips left his hand and fell to the ground; Li Yu fell asleep.

The snake's tail curled gently, flattened it, and then pulled away, leaving a section to use as a pillow.

At this point, all was silent within the pot.

[Snake Princess] also coiled up and closed her eyes.

…………

The following day was the fourth day of the fifth lunar month.

[The long-haired people] get up early and work with exceptional enthusiasm.

I apologize to all my brothers.

Something came up in the department, and it took two days to get things done.
