I have the best bloodline

………………

Given Su Yan's disrespect towards the princess, Princess Wuxi punished him by forbidding him from transforming back into a little fox and forcing him to maintain his human form and carry her when they went out.

"Sister Xi'er!"

Su Yan put the princess on his shoulder and came out of the bedroom, preparing to go to the Moon Rabbit Clan Chief's mansion for a free meal.

However, as soon as Su Yan stepped out, he saw Sister Xi'er squatting in front of the flower bed in the courtyard.

"morning!"

Sister Xi greeted Su Yan and asked, "Are you getting ready for breakfast? Would you like to join us?"

Sister Xi raised her hand and pointed to the three-legged golden crow that was lying on the stone table and basking in the sun.

"Okay!"

Su Yan nodded and said, "By the way, Sister Xi'er, I made some discoveries while browsing the brothels yesterday, and I think I might need to tell you about them."

"What were you found?"

Sister Xi'er slowly stood up, planted the flower shovel in her hand into the flower bed, patted the soil off her hands, and looked at Su Yan with a hint of curiosity, saying, "Could it be that you've seen the other Nine Netherworlds? Or perhaps a court official?"

"Uh, no, not at all."

Su Yan was about to open his storage ring and hand over the purchase order he had seized from the beast to Sister Xi'er, but Sister Xi'er interrupted him first, saying:

"Since neither of those are true, let's save the rest for the dinner table! If we don't run now, we'll be eating breakfast in the Moon Rabbit Clan's territory."

Sister Xi'er dragged Su Yan and God away naked.

The Moon Rabbit Clan's diet consists entirely of medicinal herbs, and these herbs are a highly nourishing mixture of various dried and crushed medicinal materials.

Sister Xi'er wasn't afraid of food poisoning; it's just that foxes' diets are mostly meat-based, and they have no interest in vegetables.

Although she doesn't need to eat, the fact that her body doesn't crave food doesn't mean she doesn't have a taste for it. Sister Xi also enjoys tasting some delicious food.

"tsk"

The mention of the food from the Moon Rabbit tribe's territory caused Princess Wuxi to show a look of disgust.

Su Yan went out and had fun yesterday. She stayed in the Moon Rabbit Clan's territory with the two foxes from the Qingqiu Clan, munching on the fruits and vegetables that the Moon Rabbit Clan had carefully prepared for her for a long time.

Chapter 310 I knew his heart was black!

"Please also bring me some food back."

Just as Su Yan was about to follow Sister Xi'er and Aunt Di Chi out to find food, a voice transmission sounded from the depths of Su Yan's heart. Little Dragon Girl lazily transmitted a message to Su Yan, asking him to help bring back some food.

"Are you awake?"

Upon receiving Xiaolongnu's telepathic message, Su Yan's eyes and brows twitched almost imperceptibly twice before he spoke:

"If you don't say anything soon, I might have to check your pulse in a couple of days."

Xiaolongnu asked Su Yan to move from the Crimson King's territory. Xiaolongnu slept soundly the whole way. After arriving at the Moon Rabbit Clan's territory, she slept for two more days. If Su Yan hadn't checked Xiaolongnu's breathing every night before going to bed, he would have been worried that she would have passed out in her sleep.

"I don't know either"

The little dragon girl transmitted her voice with a contented expression, saying, "Anyway, I feel like I'm sleeping really well lately. I sleep comfortably, and there are absolutely no disturbing sounds around me, not even the mother dragon's angry roars or the male dragon's hoarse cries."

The answer from the gloomy and desolate Zhenjun left Su Yan speechless: "You brought back breakfast, right?"

"Breakfast, lunch, or dinner is fine. Just come back today and put it on the table. I'll eat it when I wake up," Little Dragon Girl transmitted her voice.

"You'd better not sleep before I get back, otherwise I really don't know when I'll be able to find you when you're fully awake. If you sleep for a few more days, my golden core will be ready to emerge from its cocoon and become an infant." Su Yan exaggeratedly complained about Xiaolongnu's sense of time and the underworld's schedule.

"Row"

After thinking for a moment, Xiaolongnu agreed and promised Su Yan that she would not sleep this morning and would teach him the Dragon Clan's Refining Method.

After the telepathic transmission ended, Xiaolongnu rolled over on the mosquito net in the dormitory. The black dragon floated down as if drunk, its body drifting through the air towards the bathroom, ready to take a shower first.

"Huh? Why is nobody here?"

No sooner had Su Yan and his group left than the Moon Rabbit Clan arrived at Su Yan's villa. The white rabbit looked around the bedroom with a strange expression, and finally, following the sound of flowing water, it looked at the little black dragon coiled in the bathtub, using a brush to wash its scales, which were as numerous as stars in the night sky.

"Ah! You're awake! We didn't see you come out for dinner the past two days. Where did the others go?" The Moon Rabbit Clan members were overjoyed to see Little Dragon Girl.

"."

Little Dragon Girl paused for a moment, initially not intending to answer the rabbit's question as if she hadn't heard it, but seeing the liveliness in the rabbit's eyes, she immediately knew that if she didn't answer, things would get even more complicated.

"They just went out to find food."

"Huh? Everyone's up so early?" Moon Rabbit said with a hint of surprise, then prepared to lead the guests in the bathtub to the clan chief's house for breakfast: "Then let's hurry over to Grandpa's house for breakfast!"

Little Dragon Girl looked completely bewildered as the Moon Rabbit pulled her out of the bathtub and led her towards the Moon Rabbit clan chief's house.

As soon as Little Dragon Girl sat down, the Moon Rabbits very politely placed a mortar and pestle in front of her, containing a grayish-green paste made from pounded herbs and medicinal materials. Next to her, on a plate, were some fruits, vegetables, and steamed buns.

Xiaolongnu's eyes twitched slightly as she looked up at the Qingqiu Fox sitting opposite her.

The two foxes, one large and one small, ate their breakfast with vegetables, fruits, and steamed buns from their plates, dipping them in a paste of various medicinal herbs from a mortar and pestle. As if sensing the Dragon Girl's gaze, they glanced at her simultaneously, nodded, and greeted her.

Little Dragon Girl shifted her gaze to the left, where the Moon Rabbit, wearing an apron, looked at her expectantly.

"I refuse to be a vegetarian."

Little Dragon Girl said with a completely expressionless face.

"The meat dishes will be here soon, sir. You can have some fruit before the meal," said the Moon Rabbit with a bright smile.

Hearing this, Xiaolongnu felt slightly relieved, but the Qingqiu foxes all raised their hands to indicate that they were full.

The Moon Rabbit tribe all eat medicinal herbs, and their diet and lifestyle are very different from those of ordinary tribes.

They really treated their guests very well, but the meat they cooked was not even as good as the porridge in the mortar and pestle in the eyes of the Qingqiu foxes. At least the porridge could be tasted and made them feel alive.

Little Dragon Girl ate vegetables and fruits while waiting for the meat dishes to be served.

………………

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sister Xi'er had already led Su Yan, Princess Wuxi, and Di Chi to a city where humans and demons lived together. They found a teahouse, booked a private room, and ordered a large table of various dishes.

"By the way, what were you about to say to me?"

Sister Xi took a sip of tea slowly, smiled, and looked at Su Yan before asking him a question.

These are for you.

Su Yan took out the receipt for the purchase of the Nurturing Mother Powder from his storage ring and handed it to Sister Xi'er. He said with a serious expression, "Looking at the dates on it, some of the purchases were made after the Imperial Martial Arts Competition. There might still be remnants of the Nightmare Town Sect in the Central Province."

Sister Xi'er took the beast's ledger and half a bottle of Nurturing All-Spirit Holy Mother Powder. She glanced at the recorded time, her smile gradually fading, and her brows furrowed slightly as she said, "This shouldn't be!"

"Grandma just ordered the extermination of the Nightmare Town Cult, and it's already risen from the ashes so quickly?"

Princess Wuxi revealed a strange expression and said, "Could it be that someone in the imperial court is protecting the Nightmare Town cult? Otherwise, how could the Nightmare Town cult have risen from the ashes so quickly?"

"No, that's not it."

Sister Xi handed the account book and half a bottle of Yuhua Shengmu powder, enough to knock out an Earth Immortal, to Su Yan, and slowly said, "However, the matter of the beast might be related to Princess Wuxi's grandfather. That beast might be a spy for the Third Prince."

"Ok?"

Su Yan tilted his fox head, the word "puzzled" hanging directly above his head.

Sister Xi hesitated, unsure where to begin, but then Princess Wuxi chimed in, rolling her eyes and saying, "What's so hard to say? When it's inconvenient for us to show our faces, the Nightmare Suppression disciples will do it for us."

"It's no secret that high-ranking officials in the imperial court like to send out Nightmare Suppressors when they're doing dirty work. Besides, some of these Nightmare Suppressors are even people we employ."

"That's not how you put it."

Sister Xi shook her head and said, "It involves the balance of power among court officials, the income of the people of Xia Yu, and some matters related to trade protection."

"The political situation in Xia Yu was extremely stable. The upper levels were basically under the jurisdiction of the Three Masters, but at the middle and lower levels, civil officials, due to their special status, were prone to suppressing military officials and occasionally causing some chaos. It was customary to promote military officials."

The upper echelons of the Xia Dynasty were very stable, but precisely because the upper echelons were so stable that they remained unchanged for hundreds of years, the struggles among the middle and lower echelons of the Xia Dynasty were extremely fierce.

Civil officials are relatively easy to manage; they can get promoted by governing, secretly paying bribes, reporting others, and relying on the legacy of their ancestors.

But it's different for military officers; their power is earned through military achievements.

Now, Xia Yu has almost dominated the central state, and the Red King has even extended his reach to the southern state. Xia Yu currently has no large-scale wars to allow military officers to rise rapidly, but it is also impossible to give up on training mid- and low-level military officers.

When military positions become vacant, civil officials will naturally try to find ways to gain something from them as well. This can easily lead the people in Xia Yu's territory to develop the mistaken idea that civil officials are inferior to military officials, resulting in the civil official group becoming increasingly large.

There needs to be a balance here. At the very least, the people of Xia Yu need to know that civil officials and military officials have different functions, but there is no difference in other aspects. Even if there are huge differences in the internal workings, at the very least, outsiders should not be able to see any difference.

Grand Tutor Jin's method was simple: he obtained some methods of Nightmare Suppression from Emperor Wusheng, the leader of the Nightmare Suppression Sect, and trained some Nightmare Suppression disciples to do dirty work. Once they were no longer of any value, he would send them to the pre-selected military officers as sustenance.

Of course, the followers of the Nightmare Town were unaware of their own identities and fates from beginning to end, and very few people knew about the promotion system of the military officer group.

"I knew it. Grand Tutor Jin is a black-hearted man." Su Yan muttered to herself as she ate her breakfast.

"I just don't know if Grand Tutor Jin will be offering classes, and how many spirit stones are required."

Although Su Yan did not participate in court politics, he could see the influence of Grand Tutor Jin in the Xia Yu Dynasty. He was able to gain such influence because he had the ability that Emperor Wusheng would give Grand Tutor Jin such great power.

Chapter 311 The Hidden True Method of Suppressing Divine Thought (The Law of Law)

"The military officer group is only one aspect; the most significant use of the Nightmare Suppression Cult is to stimulate both domestic and foreign demand."

When Princess Wuxi heard Sister Xi'er mention military officers, she looked at Su Yan with a teasing expression and said, "Why is our Xia Yu Dynasty considered a golden age? The simplest reason is that everyone is rich, and the income and expenses of the people are actually planned by the higher-ups."

"We plunder from the bottom, middle and top levels, and then redistribute the spoils to maintain a stable state throughout the Xia Yu Dynasty. If any factors arise that could affect this stability, we will use the Nightmare Suppression Men to dump our spoils on the surrounding areas."

"cough cough"

Sister Xi coughed twice, interrupting Princess Wuxi from speaking about the underlying national policies of the Xia Yu Dynasty. These were things that everyone should know in private, and there was no need to say them aloud.

The slogan used by Emperor Yu when he founded the Xia Dynasty is the same one now engraved on the imperial seal: "Times change, but the essence remains unchanged."

Emperor Yu of Xia once promised his subjects a prosperous era and a land free from disease and disaster, but it was easier said than done.

Although the successor, Emperor Wusheng, possessed extraordinary martial prowess, he still could not prevent the dynasty from facing a situation where the demand for jobs exceeded the supply due to population growth. To realize the dream of a prosperous era, it was necessary to sacrifice the interests of some people.

Under such circumstances, a unique donation system emerged within the civil service, which allowed a portion of the wealth to flow back to the upper echelons and be redistributed by the Emperor Wusheng and the Six Ministries by collecting additional taxes from merchants and landlords.

The system of kings with different surnames was also born in this way. Their purpose was to invade and continue to support the ever-growing Xia Yu Dynasty by plundering resources.
