Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 156 : I would believe it if you told me he was the emperor
Chapter 156 - 156 : I would believe it if you told me he was the emperor
In a mountain near Songgu County, Jianghaizhou, Hou Yuntao was wearing a loose robe, hiding in a cave.
Since parting ways with Fang Yuan, he had been stationed here, not forgetting Fang Daren's orders to guard the border of Jianghaizhou.
However, in recent days, Jianghaizhou had been peaceful, with no sign of any demon attacks.
At this moment, a small squirrel appeared, climbing on a tree nearby, looking down at him.
"Captain Hou Yuntao, do you want something to eat?" the squirrel spoke.
As for Hou Yuntao's transformation, Xiao Yuwei found it quite magical. After eating dragon meat, he had turned into this form.
Now, it seemed that he wasn't the only one who could transform into an animal... if Hou Yuntao could be considered an animal.
"No need." Hou Yuntao shook his head. "And from now on, don't call me Hou Yuntao, call me Hou Longtao!"
This was the name given to him personally by Fang Daren, and he had to cherish it.
"Alright, Hou Longtao Daren..." Xiao Yuwei said, her tone full of melancholy.
"I wonder how Fang Daren is doing. He went to kill the Iron Horn Demon King alone. Just thinking about it is so dangerous."
A human-like worried expression appeared on the squirrel's face. She knew that Fang Yuan was very strong, but the Iron Horn Demon King had oppressed the whole of Yongnan Province for over a hundred years!
While thinking about this, Xiao Yuwei suddenly saw a young figure appear on the rugged mountain path below.
"Fang Daren!" Xiao Yuwei shouted in delight, and Hou Longtao also looked toward the front, and indeed, as they say, when you mention someone, they appear!
"You two have worked hard." Fang Yuan nodded at them. "Now everything has been settled, you can go back."
"Go back?" Both Xiao Yuwei and Hou Longtao were stunned.
"Yes," Fang Yuan smiled. "Oh, by the way, I brought some local specialties from Yongnan Province. You've definitely never tasted them before."
Saying this, Fang Yuan pulled out some dried meat from his storage bag and tossed it to Xiao Yuwei and Hou Longtao.
Fang Yuan's words puzzled them. They were from Yongnan Province, so how could they not have tasted their hometown's specialties?
But after trying... Hmm, it's delicious!
The squirrel-like Xiao Yuwei held the dried meat with her little paws and ate it with relish, looking quite cute.
"Fang Daren, what kind of meat is this? It's so fragrant and delicious!" Xiao Yuwei asked while munching.
Having had some experience, Hou Longtao took a bite and immediately realized something. He trembled and said, "Fang Daren, could this be the Iron Horn Demon King's meat?"
"Exactly."
After getting Fang Yuan's confirmation, both of them froze. Well, this was indeed a local specialty from their hometown—they really had never tasted it before...
At the Ming Mountain county office, Qin Hai, wearing official robes, had just finished handling a case.
Since the county magistrate of Ming Mountain was killed by Fang Yuan, he had temporarily taken over the position.
Under Fang Yuan's somewhat bloody suppression, no one in Ming Mountain dared to mention the "Mountain God" anymore.
Besides that, many restaurants in Ming Mountain had started selling snake meat, and the local snakes were nearly wiped out...
But how could ordinary snake meat compare to Snake Demon meat? Moreover, the chef's skills could never match those of Fang Daren.
"Qin Daren," at this moment, a familiar voice rang out. Qin Hai looked up and saw Fang Yuan's figure appear at the door.
"Sorry, I forgot about you." Fang Yuan smiled apologetically.
"No problem, Fang Daren. You don't have to worry about me." Qin Hai quickly said, but his face was full of grievance.
Fang Yuan had taken him out to eliminate the demons in the state, but halfway through, he had left, saying he would come back the next day to pick him up.
But in the end, half a month passed.
The worst part was that he had stayed on the roof for half a day, only for his cries for help to be heard by others, who then rescued him. It was quite embarrassing.
"Cough... cough..." Fang Yuan said. "The past few days have been quite busy."
"Busy? What has Fang Daren been busy with?" Qin Hai asked curiously.
Fang Yuan briefly told him what had happened during this time.
After hearing it, Qin Hai fell into deep confusion. Sure, half a month was quite a long time, but could so much happen in such a short time?!
All the demons in Yongnan Province were dealt with by Fang Daren, he had become a grandmaster, was promoted to patrol officer, became a warrior marquis, and was now about to guard the border?!
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
Could all of these things happen within half a month?!
He remembered that when Fang Daren left, he was only at the fourth stage.
Seeing Qin Hai's dazed expression, Fang Yuan once again pulled out some dried beef and decided to comfort him with food.
Now, dried beef was like cigarettes to him—whenever he saw someone, he wanted to offer them some to try.
"Let's go, let's go back to Jianghai Palace." Fang Yuan said.
"We're not going back." Qin Hai shook his head. "Sorry, Fang Daren, but I think I'll stay here as the county magistrate. It's pretty nice here."
The past ten days had been quite comfortable for him, and he was fine with continuing to live this way until he died.
"Well, that's fine too." Fang Yuan nodded, agreeing to Qin Hai's decision. "By the way, Qin Daren, give me your hand."
Qin Hai, confused, extended his hand, and Fang Yuan grabbed it. In the next moment, Qin Hai felt a vast life force surge into his body!
His eyes widened in shock. Under the influence of the life force, over 300 of his previously closed meridians were fully restored in an instant!
Along with the restoration of his meridians, his cultivation level also began to recover and rise, soon reaching the peak of the fourth stage!
"This... this..." Feeling the power he had regained, Qin Hai was astonished. "My cultivation has returned?"
"Yes." Fang Yuan nodded. "Now I can be considered a healer."
"What do you mean?" Qin Hai asked, his eyes filled with fear.
"Uh, I misspoke. I meant to say I can be considered a doctor." Fang Yuan quickly corrected himself.
"I see... Fang Daren, this really is a divine technique!" Qin Hai couldn't stop praising. He quickly said, "Well then, Fang Daren, I suddenly don't want to be the county magistrate anymore!"
With his cultivation restored, he decided to continue striving forward. How could he just be a county magistrate and live an idle life?
"Do as you wish." Fang Yuan smiled and nodded.
Qin Hai decided to stay temporarily in the county to handle some unfinished business. Fang Yuan returned to Jianghai Palace and immediately gathered his troops to inform them of his promotion to Warrior Marquis and upcoming mission to guard the border.
Upon hearing this, Yin Shiwu kept slapping his face, Mo Wuthen stumbled, Bai Feng turned pale, and Lin Yujing fell silent.
Had the plot jumped again? Well, whatever. They were completely numb to it by now.
If someone were to say that Fang Yuan would become the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom in six months, they probably wouldn't even doubt it.
This was better than the worst case, though. If people like Lu Tian and others found out, they would probably go mad.
As fellow students of the Tianjiao Camp, Fang Yuan had even been a latecomer, yet while the others were still in the camp, Fang Yuan had already become a grandmaster.
It was like being in the same class, and you're still a college student who hasn't graduated, but the other person has already become the country's top general...
After making the announcement, Fang Yuan took out more dried beef to reward everyone. At this moment, Lin Yujing approached Fang Yuan. "Fang Yuan, I have good news for you. The dragon egg you gave me... I've hatched a sea dragon!"
Originally, Lin Yujing was excited about hatching the sea dragon, thinking she might catch up to Fang Yuan. But who knew, the news she received was that Fang Yuan had already become a grandmaster.
