"Village Chief, on the way here we heard that Haiyue Island and the six nearby islands are about to change their lords. I wonder if you have heard about it?" Qing Ling asked tentatively, passing the news on first.
, a warning to the villagers on the island, lest they talk about conquering the territory too hastily.
After hearing this, the village chief didn't have any strange expression. He just sighed lightly, "Are we going to change the lord again? Alas~~ I hope this time the lord can take care of the island..."
"Did the Haiyue Belt and the six surrounding islands change many lords?" Ziying asked in surprise, wouldn't there be a problem with the land that grandpa gave to Qingling? In desperation, she also forgot about the person she was talking to.
Just an ordinary civilian.
Qing Ling listened intently. As for Feng Xuan, he didn't care about anything. It didn't matter to him whether he changed the lord or not. The purpose of his coming out this time was to deepen his relationship with Qing Ling.
"Yes, this island and sea area do not belong to any country. Every few decades, an expert will appear and claim to be the new lord of this sea area. However, there are very few people who can truly take over the seven islands. This
No new lord has come for decades, and the island has become ownerless, occupied by three overlords and a group of mysterious people."
"Thank you, village chief, for informing me, but according to this, if a new lord comes, it will be a good thing for the village?"
When the village chief said that he hoped that the lord could improve the island, the longing expression on his face really made Qing Ling have such a guess. Then she tried to ask.
Village chief Zhang Tieniu's face suddenly turned red with excitement, and his voice became high-pitched, "Of course it's a good thing. Although we people on Liuli Island and Baiyu Island live like fishermen, we have to give three families free money every day.
Supply food. As the population of each family increases, we may not always be able to come back with a full load when we go fishing. The heavy burden brought by the three major families makes it difficult for many villagers to live a good life. If there is a new lord
, maybe things will change in such days..."
It turns out that what the dean said about collecting taxes on fat people is actually a non-starter. The fishermen can only provide clear fish, and I’m afraid they don’t have any money. It seems that I was really tricked by the Supreme Elder this time.
It was said that it gave her a piece of land, but in fact it gave her a mess. And she must still be responsible for this mess, because this place has become her territory.
"Don't worry, village chief. I believe a good lord will come here soon." Qing Ling did not disclose her identity to avoid causing a commotion if they knew she was the new lord. What she wanted to do was to conquer Haiyue Island first.
Then go and eradicate the so-called three major families, and finally those mysterious people. Her territory does not allow anyone to mess around!
………………
The next day, Qing Ling said goodbye to the village chief early in the morning. She said she wanted to walk around the island with her friends and appreciate the beautiful scenery on the island. In fact, she was able to wield swords with Feng Xuan and Ziying towards Haiyue Island, which was occupied by sea beasts.
Fly away.
Haiyue Island is located in the middle of six islands and is surrounded by six small islands in a semicircle. This island is also the largest among the seven small islands and the farthest island from the sea.
The cultivation of Qing Ling, Feng Xuan and Zi Ying was already outstanding among cultivators, and even more so in the mortal world. They concealed themselves with their swords, and quietly landed on Haiyue Island without everyone noticing.
Landing on the island, a large number of birds flew up and were frightened by the arrival of the three people. There was a rugged hill in the middle of the island, and the beasts in the forest seemed to have sensed the arrival of the three people. For a moment,
The roaring continued.
"This is where sea beasts live. What kind of sea beasts are they? They have never been driven away. Even the three major families and mysterious organizations cannot touch them at all?" Not only Qing Ling was curious, but even Ziying was curious.
Also curious. Feng Xuan seemed to have discovered something and remained silent.
"Let's go to the island and have a look." The three of them stepped on the broken sand on the beach side by side and walked towards the dense forest not far away. The natural ecology of this island is well protected. In addition to the beach, there are dense forests and dense forests everywhere.
.
The beach was soft, and before she had even taken a few steps, the cloth shoes Qing Ling was wearing were filled with sand. Suddenly, Ziying screamed "Oh!", followed by a "click" and a fishy smell.
The smell is carried by the breeze and spreads between the breaths of Qing Ling and Feng Xuan.
"What's wrong?" The two of them looked back at Ziying at the same time, and saw that she had one foot stuck in the soft sand, frowning, with a look of disgust on her face.
"It seems like I broke something." Ziying said, pulling her hand out of the sand, and pieces of sticky yellow-white stuff came out from the pink-purple cloth shoes, like broken eggs, but it was obvious
, the thing Ziying crushed was definitely an egg much bigger than an egg.
"Ugh...that's disgusting. What the hell is this." Ziying kicked her feet twice in the clean sand impatiently, trying to get rid of the sticky egg white on her feet.
