Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1714: Chapter 128: Huge Profit! Little Immortal, the Dutiful Daughter (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

“This, this, this…” The Duchess of Luo Jia blushed shyly and spat, “Little Immortal, you’re so young, don’t speak nonsense!”

“You naughty kid, you even dare to tease your Seventh Uncle.” Wang Shouye twisted her ear in a mixture of amusement and frustration, jokingly scolding, “If you dare to sell me out, wait until we get back and see if your father doesn’t break your legs? I guess you don’t have any good tricks either, probably promising to heal His Majesty Yuanping’s old wounds and nourish his life span with benefits, right?”

“Seventh Uncle, it hurts, Seventh Uncle, boo hoo~ I found out that you’re not fun at all, can’t take a joke, and you’re more serious than my dad.” Wang Lixian wailed and complained, then with a sullen face, reluctantly confessed, “That’s right, I promised Old Master Yuanping to help nourish his body and replenish his life span deficit. I’m doing this for the development of our Wang family.”

At this point, even the Nine Tailed Fox Demon Emperor was intrigued: “You little brat, what benefits did you actually get for our Wang family?”

Speaking of this, Wang Lixian immediately became proud: “Not much, not much. Besides the Transcendent Void Codex being unattainable, our Wang family can allocate one Dao-level Item, seven Places of spiritual inheritance, eighteen Divine Spiritual Treasures, including three trophies and fifteen Wei Family Treasures.”

“In addition, we also get a fifty percent share of all the fixed, liquid assets of Wei King’s Mansion, along with the ransom for the captives! We’ve hit the jackpot this time!!” Wang Lixian grew more and more excited as she spoke, her big eyes sparkling, “I calculated, after this wave, our Wang family, whether in terms of Dao-level Items or Places of spiritual inheritance, will be stronger than a typical First Grade Prominent Family.”

Indeed, Wei King’s Mansion was considered one of the richer First Grade Prominent Families, and the Wang family has now taken nearly half of their assets, inevitably boosting their foundation and accumulation significantly.

Especially those high-end treasures, such as Dao-level Items and Places of spiritual inheritance, are the foundation of families, and each family guards them heavily, often not available even for money. If it wasn’t for this stroke of luck, the Wang family couldn’t have obtained so much at once.

Wang Shouye did some mental calculations and was immediately dazed.

He considered himself an excellent Alchemist, with very high annual earnings if he focused on alchemy. But compared to this wave of income, his earnings were just a drop in the ocean.

The Nine Tailed Fox Demon Emperor, after being surprised, also had a complex and hard-to-understand look in her brilliant fox eyes.

Previously, Wang Shouzhe had offered her a high price to assist and protect Shouye, and she pondered whether Wang Shouzhe was just a fool wasting his money.

But now, it seems the foolish one was evidently herself.

The irresistible price Wang Shouzhe offered was nothing compared to the Wang family’s gains this time, hardly worth mentioning.

“What about the Wei family? Are they really going to confiscate everything?” After a moment of daze, Wang Shouye gradually came back to his senses, feeling a bit uneasy, “The vast Wei family has been passed down for many years, with at least thousands in the main line, and countless people in the Direct Vessel and branches, among them there must be many innocents.”

“Of course, there are innocents.” The Duchess of Luo Jia also sighed, “But that’s just how the Prominent Family system works, where family members flourish and decline together. Colluding with the Demonic Dynasty and harming kin is a grave sin. With the nest overturned, how can there be intact eggs? Since they enjoyed the benefits brought by the strong Wei family, they must also pay the corresponding price.”

“Traditionally, most of those in the Wei family’s main line and Direct Vessel would be sent to the Cannon Fodder Camp at the Outer Battlefield to atone for their sins with Merit Points. The remaining elderly, women, children, and some major side branches will be branded as criminals and exiled to the barren frontier counties to engage in reclamation and labor for generations. They will receive ideological education and only regain freedom once their offenses are expiated through labor.”

“But Grandpa Yuanping said he would leave them some resources, hoping that the Da Zhou Wei Family can get through the sin family period and thoroughly reflect on their problems.” Wang Lixian also sighed, “Seeing the Wei family’s downfall, I now understand why my dad values Clan School and its ideological education so much.”

“I’ve always admired the foresight of Fourth Brother.” Wang Shouye said seriously, “For the survival of our Wang family, he has been meticulous, putting in a lot of effort.”

“That’s right, dad works really hard.” Wang Lixian nodded in agreement, “So, I also managed to capture that prisoner named the {Nine Yin Demon Envoy}, who is quite pretty. I believe dad will definitely like her.”

“Uh, haha~” Wang Shouye chuckled awkwardly, “Little Immortal, you’re truly filial.”

“Of course, of course. Last time I went to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, they said capable demon clansmen all seized a bunch of wives.” Wang Lixian spoke matter-of-factly, “My dad is so capable, he should have more wives, but he couldn’t let go of his reputation because of mom, so I, as his daughter, have to do the job.”

Wang Shouye was speechless and looked to the heavens: “You truly understand your father so well…”

…

Almost at the same time, on the Spirit Canal Continent.

Compared to the Muzhen Continent and the Marginal Wasteland, the overall area of the Spirit Canal Continent is not large. Without counting the territorial waters, it is roughly only half their size. Thus, there are only two countries on this continent, one called [Liang] and the other [Yan].
