Chapter 1045: Chapter 654, The Fake Rabbit
“`
Uh… this….
Xu Yuanhang felt as though he had stumbled upon some earth-shattering secret.
The impressive sister Li of Silver Wing City, was actually in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with the magnate Fang Hao.
Ah! That’s not right.
Wasn’t it said that the magnate Fang Hao, was being kept by some City Lord?
Oh man, what a messy circle this is.
“Keep this matter to yourself, okay? Pretend you don’t know anything.”
“Oh, I understand, sister Li.”
Li Rong smiled, “What are your plans now? I heard you lost your city. Do you want to stay and help me out?”
As for the young Xu Yuanhang.
People say he acts recklessly on impulse.
But most still admire him quite a bit.
How many still have such courage?
To come this far just to take revenge on the enemy.
Xu Yuanhang fell silent for a moment but eventually shook his head and said, “Sister Li, I will repay you and my brother-in-law’s kindness, but I still want to go back and help our Alliance Hierarch.”
The Alliance Hierarch is Bai Xuan.
She’s been quite good to him.
This decision isn’t surprising, Li Rong nodded, “Alright, you can leave with me before the city gates close. I’ll take you through the Trade Alliance Teleportation Array to send you back.”
“Thank you, sister Li,” Xu Yuanhang thanked her once more.
“Mm, wait outside for a while, and I’ll take you back shortly.”
Xu Yuanhang nodded and left the room to wait.
…
On the streets.
“Look, what’s that in the sky?”
“A flying ship, is it the enemy attacking us?”
“How can a ship fly in the sky? What in the world is that?”
“It’s not the enemy; that’s the Federation flag on it, and there’s… there’s… the flag of Lyss City? Is it Lyss City’s ship?”
Above the clouds,
A fleet of enormous Aerial Ships broke through the clouds, appearing in the skies over Silver Wing City.
Their vast shadows drew the attention of the city’s residents, sparking a wave of discussion.
Ordinary residents had never even seen a goblin.
Let alone such early goblin technology which could only make them wonder, why a ship could fly in the sky.
The original hulls were marked at the bottom edges with the ‘Federation flag,’ ‘Parliament symbol,’ and ‘flag of Lyss City.’
To help identify the affiliation of the ships.
At the same time that the residents spotted the Aerial Ships, a number of large Thunder Eagles took to the skies.
They soared high and patrolled around the Aerial Ships.
But they didn’t stop them, allowing the Aerial Ships to enter the city.
The residents below followed the direction of the Aerial Ships, running toward the city to see.
Eager to find out what this flying ship really was.
They saw the Aerial Ships landing in the city.
Crate after crate of goods were being moved out.
“What are they unloading?”
“Goods transported from Lyss City? Using such a thing as a transport fleet?”
“That’s so cool!”
People were gossiping, and some quickly returned to their families to report what they had seen.
Rebecca was going crazy.
Using these Aerial Ships, she’d assembled a transport fleet.
Not even the Federation had a single one.
She put out so many just to transport goods.
…
The news also spread through the transmigrator channel.
Even pictures were attached.
“Silver Wing City, sights of ‘Kirov Airships’ [Picture][Picture].”
“Whoa, are we about to conquer the skies again?”
“The Human Federation is so fierce, but didn’t I just hear that they were defeated by the Undead a while ago?”
“It’s not the Federation’s, I just went to ask; it’s Lyss City’s Aerial Ships, they don’t belong to the Federation.”
“Lyss City? That sounds familiar.”
“Ah, isn’t that the city where magnate Fang Hao married into?”
“Talk of marrying into, wait till the magnate skins you.”
“Lyss City has them, magnate Fang Hao just needs to work hard tonight, and if the female City Lord is happy, she might just give him two ships.”
…
Main city, courtyard.
Under the oak tree, Fang Hao continued to delve into the magic book.
By his side, the Red General was chasing after flying bugs in the flowers.
In the afternoon,
Fang Hao sent all the new recruits ‘Nisbit’ over to Ma Tianyi, starting a campaign to encircle the spread-out demons.
After finishing the encirclement, they would return for the advancement of the heroes.
Not only could it increase their strength, but it could also improve their chances of advancing.
Ma Tianyi, for one, agreed with the decision.
After all, battle is not a joke. Having others take their place would leave them with more free time.
Seeing that it was about time,
He informed Eira and the others before heading straight to Lyss City.
The channel was abuzz with the news of the Aerial Ships of Lyss City, which meant the goods must have arrived in the cities.
He activated the teleportation screen and stepped right through.
…
As night fell,
Rebecca leaned casually on the soft couch.
Gazing out the window at the rising moon, she held in her hands the report that had just been delivered.
Her mind drifted momentarily as she recalled the secretive conversations of the noblewomen at the banquet.
And a vague unrest began to stir in her heart again.
“`
“Fang Hao, this guy, only comes to see me if you look for him first.”
Squeak!!
The door was pushed open directly, and Rebecca turned back in surprise, only to see the man she had just been thinking about standing at the doorway.
He was smiling softly at her.
Rebecca, somewhat disbelieving, rubbed her eyes and then widened them a bit more.
“What’s wrong?” Fang Hao walked in and sat down close beside her.
“Nothing much, what brings you here today?” Rebecca asked softly.
“Do I need a reason to see my wife?”
“You come so seldom, and you still don’t need a reason?”
“Hehe! Be nice, don’t be angry.” He picked up her plump body and resettled it in his lap.
Rebecca glared at him, wrapped one arm around him, and casually set aside the item she had been holding.
“Did you come for the school?” asked Rebecca.
“No, mainly because I missed you.”
“Go deceive those little bunnies around you.” Rebecca continued, “The recruitment of teachers is almost done; now we’re arranging staff to persuade the children of common families to attend school. This is even more difficult than hiring teachers.”
The ordinary residents didn’t place much value on education.
Especially the farmers in the surrounding villages preferred their children to help work the fields rather than send them off to study.
“Don’t rush; we can take it slow.” After comforting her, Fang Hao continued, “How do you feel about the Orcs coming here to study?”
Rebecca frowned and gave it some serious thought.
“Hard to manage.”
“Some of the milder orcs, such as the Rabbitmen Clan, the Blackfoot Cat Tribe?”
“We could try it, but not with too many.”
Fang Hao nodded and made a note of it.
Actually, the Tauren were quite willing to arrange for their people to learn. Last time, speaking of learning accounting, they insisted on sending Taurens to learn.
They even boasted of their people’s intelligence.
Now that there weren’t many students, it was also good to take a tally of the nearby orcs’ children and send them to study.
After briefly discussing the school matters,
Fang Hao asked, “I heard the Aerial Ship has arrived at Silver Wing City without any trouble, right?”
“How did you know?” Rebecca turned her head and stared at him directly.
As if she thought Fang Hao was spying on her.
“Oh, the transmigrator channel is full of photos of the Aerial Ship. Now all the transmigrators know you have an Aerial Ship here.” Fang Hao teased her.
“Yes, the ship is carrying equipment for sale to the Hall of Justice. Nothing could go wrong with that. Everything went smoothly. Soon we’ll bring back special products from Silver Wing City and the potions provided by the Alchemical Association,” Rebecca said.
“Good, that’s good to hear.” Fang Hao nodded as well.
To be honest, Rebecca had really been managing the place very well.
Her political maneuvering was no less than ‘Amanda’s’, and what mattered most was Rebecca’s loyalty to him.
It’s just a pity that she wasn’t a hero yet.
Thinking of this, Fang Hao tightened his embrace and said, “Once the potions are transported here, you should add training to your daily schedule. If not, I’ll arrange a hero to teach you, so you can improve faster.”
“All right, all right, I get it. I’ll start training hard once the potions are back,” she said.
…
The two whispered to each other for a while.
Then they stopped talking.
In the soft glow of the night, the smooth white jade glistened as it was toyed with.
Rebecca sat in the man’s embrace, her clothing half-undone, one arm wrapped around his neck.
Suddenly, Fang Hao caught something fluffy in the corner of his eye on the soft couch.
Rebecca also looked down and her face changed. She was about to kick it away with her leg.
But Fang Hao was quicker.
He scooped it up in his hand.
A rabbit’s tail?
A small fluffy ball topped with a white jade bead.
One could tell it was man-made.
A real rabbit’s tail wouldn’t look like this.
But it was quite similar.
Confused, he looked at Rebecca, only to find her entire face burning red.
Stammering, she said, “I received it at a banquet, given by those noblewomen. They said if a man is reluctant to come home, then try this and, and….”
She couldn’t finish her sentence.
Even Fang Hao, sitting beside her, could feel the heat radiating from her face.
Ah, this…
Fang Hao too was full of surprise.
This kind of ‘attachment’ had been sold on the regional channels for a while now.
But it seemed to have no market.
How did it catch on in noble circles!
“Uh, you must look very good with it on,” Fang Hao whispered in her ear.
Rebecca was a bit reserved, her arms still hooked around his neck, but she quietly said, “If you want to see, I’m willing to wear it. It’s just that I, I don’t really know how.”
“I’ll help you; you’re too tense. Relax a little first,” he said.
“Hey! It’s not supposed to go there, don’t mess around.”
…
They played with the faux rabbit tail all night long.
And early in the morning, he rushed back home.
For some reason, even though the rabbits at home were more realistic, all real, they still weren’t as fun as the fake one.
Listening to the sounds of “Master” around him,
Fang Hao nodded and responded, patting their ears.
Ah~!
Yeah, why were there no ears last night?
He really hadn’t noticed at the time. Next time, he should still mention to Rebecca not to be careless in her actions.
Upon returning to the Lord’s Mansion,
He saw at the entrance two funeral priests, with a burly skeleton hero, standing motionless there.
When he walked closer, the hero’s information appeared before his eyes.
[Puremane Lion King (Orange-Level 2 Hero)]
So the skeleton hero had been completed.
Only, all the fur of the Puremane Lion King had been thoroughly removed.
It no longer had any of its previous characteristics.
