Chapter 256 Ancient Legacy!
The three then followed Honglian into the inner city through a special passage.
During this time, driven by the curiosity of the ram-horned girl, Hou Ji also wanted to find out the truth about Longcheng.
When they saw something they had never seen before, the three of them would stop and take a look.
So, when you see large buildings like pottery factories, textile mills, and paper mills...
There are also endless areas for growing corn, tomatoes, and other vegetables, as well as livestock farms.
It's important to know that the City of Beasts only became a paradise under the Queen's protection.
However... due to limited water resources, and mainly because they lacked understanding of planting techniques.
Therefore, although the City of Ten Thousand Beasts had tried to grow plants and vegetables, they simply could not survive.
Dragon City now boasts vast plantations and various well-established workshops...
Everything shows that Dragon City's production level is at least a hundred streets ahead of Beast City!
Moreover... when Hou Ji and Gou Dao were young, they also ventured into those big cities outside.
However, I have never heard of any large human city that has so many plants and vegetables.
This dragon city, built on the back of a giant beast, seems to be different from all other human cities!
"Let's go! I'm suddenly looking forward to meeting this Lord of Dragon City!" Hou Ji's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Originally, he didn't think there was anything worth trading with these humans.
He shared similar thoughts with his second brother, Zhu Gang, believing that all humans were bad people.
But now... he's very interested in Dragon City.
Beast City lacks everything, and life is really too hard!
If we could really make a deal with Longcheng...
A moment later, in the reception room of the city lord's mansion.
"Please have a seat, three guests!"
Xiao Yu looked at the two orcs he was meeting for the first time and spoke in a friendly tone.
Hou Ji and Yang Man also looked at Xiao Yu, both of them quite shocked.
Hou Ji was shocked by the other person's age; he looked...only in his early twenties.
At such a young age, his aura was even stronger than his, even stronger than that of the Black Soil City Lord!
Yang Man's eyes darted around, and she would steal glances at Xiao Yu from time to time.
It's simply because... all the beastmen she had seen before were rude and had bizarre appearances.
Where have I ever seen such a handsome, prince-like man?
Xiao Yu smiled politely at Yang Man, and the ram-horned girl's cheeks instantly flushed red as she lowered her head.
Hou Ji, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
I didn't bring her here to see handsome guys; I brought her to gather intelligence!
But this girl completely forgot everything the moment she saw a handsome guy?
Hou Ji was somewhat dissatisfied when he saw a maid bring over several cups of steaming tea.
"Thank you!" Hou Ji nodded politely, glanced down at the emerald green tea leaves, and felt refreshed just by smelling them. He couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath.
He picked it up and took a sip, his eyes lighting up immediately. "The tea has a mellow and elegant aroma, yet it contains a rich vitality. Could it be from a sixth-order spirit tree?"
“That’s right! This tea is made from the Bodhi tree, which is unique to my Dragon City. It can refresh the mind and improve eyesight.” Hearing this, Xiao Yu nodded and did not hide anything.
Then, he looked at the monkey-headed beastman, slightly surprised.
"The city lord is indeed impressive! He could tell just from one sip!"
"Hehe, that's right! Lord City Lord, you may not know, but my elder brother received an ancient inheritance and is proficient in this art. The drinks he concocts are intoxicating..." Upon hearing Xiao Yu praise his elder brother, the Second City Lord Gou Dao chuckled and boasted proudly.
But before he could finish speaking, Hou Ji coldly rebuked him, "Third brother, even drinking tea can't stop your mouth!"
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Yu and cupped his hands, saying, "Lord of Dragon City, please forgive me! My third brother is like this when he's drunk; he likes to talk nonsense."
"Have some tea!" Xiao Yu waved his hand casually, smiling without saying a word.
"Lord of Dragon City!"
After taking another sip of tea, Hou Ji put down his teacup, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Xiao Yu, saying, "Previously, my second brother was attacked by Black Soil City at the Salt Mine. The Lord of Dragon City came to his aid, and Ten Thousand Beasts City is extremely grateful! I, Hou Ji, am also extremely grateful!"
But... there's something I don't understand: why is the Lord of Dragon City helping us?
Don't you know what trouble helping us orcs will bring you?
Hou Ji was actually very grateful to Xiao Yu for saving Gou Dao and his companions.
However, like his second brother Zhu Gang, he harbored prejudices against humans.
I have a feeling that Xiao Yu's help to the Beast City might be for ulterior motives.
"Brother, you're overthinking it!"
Upon seeing this, the Second City Lord Gou Dao became anxious and quickly stood up, bowed to Xiao Yu, and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, City Lord of Dragon City! My elder brother didn't mean anything by it; he's just always been cautious."
Upon hearing this, he understood what his elder brother meant: this was hostility towards City Lord Xiao Yu!
On one side is his brother, and on the other is his savior.
He didn't want the two sides to become enemies because of a misunderstanding.
"Haha, it doesn't matter!"
Seeing Gou Dao's anxious expression, Xiao Yu waved his hand dismissively.
He understood the orcs' wariness of humans, shook his head, and chuckled softly.
"Black Soil City is notorious outsiders and has repeatedly sent people to invade my Dragon City in an attempt to seize treasures. It is only right and proper for me to destroy them."
Furthermore... I have no grudge against orcs; on the contrary, we have a very good relationship.
As he spoke, he waved to the three beast-eared girls, who immediately understood and quickly went out.
A moment later, the three women brought over Wu Weier, Er Ya, and the beastman children, including Gouzi.
"Greetings, Lord City Lord!" The orc children bowed respectfully as soon as they saw Xiao Yu.
Their attitude was extremely respectful, filled with admiration and gratitude.
"This is..." Hou Ji looked surprised and puzzled upon seeing this.
Previously, after Gou Dao met with him, he was too busy with other matters to explain the addition of Wu Weier, Er Ya, and others, so Hou Ji was naturally not very clear about it.
Seeing the orcs' attitude towards Xiao Yu, they were naturally very puzzled.
It should be noted that orcs are mostly unruly and hate humans to the core.
At this moment, the three beast-eared girls, having received a nod from Xiao Yu, slowly removed their masks and helmets, revealing their beast ears.
"Are you orcs too?"
Upon seeing the orcish features on the three women, Hou Ji's eyes widened in disbelief.
Unexpectedly, the Dragon City Lord's personal guards were actually three orcs.
"I don't care what others think of orcs! But..."
Xiao Yu smiled and waved to the group of orc children, speaking gently.
"In my opinion, orcs are no different from humans! I would much rather deal with you orcs than associate with those hypocritical humans."
Look, these children in my Longcheng can live and study freely.
Come here... tell me what you've learned these past two days?
As he spoke, he waved to the petite and adorable Xiao Ling'er and asked with a smile.
