A Magical Duel with the Great Emperor (Seeking Monthly Votes)_4 “They say I’m purposely suppressing An Commandery Prince’s ‘claws,’ suspecting that I’m taking sides, right?” Emperor Longchang said indifferently, “Let them say whatever they want. In Wang Shouzhe’s eyes, nothing I do is ever right. Sometimes being a muddle-headed ruler can be quite interesting—no mental burden at all~”

“Wang Shouzhe thinks he’s so capable, doesn’t he? Likes to secretly trash talk my policies? Claims he can ‘turn stone into gold’? Well, if he’s so talented, let him show me something big. Hahaha~ Watching that young fellow and his entourage hopping around in a panic, my heart is just one word, thrilled! Hahaha~~~”

“Old Yao, don’t think I don’t know, haven’t you taken benefits from An Commandery Prince’s side, agreeing to speak for him? It’s fine, take your benefits and keep talking nicely. I’m not listening anyway, and no one can do anything about me, hahahaha~”

Old Yao was speechless.

Your Majesty, you are becoming more and more…

With no option left, Old Yao changed the subject, “Your Majesty, there’s another piece of good news. The Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty’s Cloud Ray Flying Boat will soon arrive at Return to Dragon City, and the Painting of the Divine Dynasty Twilight, the masterpiece by Master Ji which you instructed someone to bid for at a high price, will be in your hands soon.”

“Good! This is indeed a double celebration,” Emperor Longchang brightened up even more at the news, “Old Yao, help me ponder, where is the best spot to hang Master Ji’s masterpiece? Right there, I’ll be able to see it every time I look up from my desk.”

“No no, that place is too eye-catching, good things should be savor slowly… hang it behind me?”

“No no, still…”

…

Meanwhile, as Emperor Longchang was “troubled” by such matters, a Cloud Ray Flying Boat bearing the flag of Yao’s Air Transport was speeding through the layers of the Sea of Clouds towards Da Qian.

It was an immense flying “beast.”

Though named a “Flying Boat,” its overall shape resembled a ray from the ocean, with a pair of huge light-blue ray wings spread on either side of the boat’s hull, slowly flapping as it moved forward, as if gliding through the air.

The torrential energy layer currents roared above and below the ray wings, stirring up a ten-thousand-foot surge. The surging energy created a lifting force in a special way that allowed the Cloud Ray Flying Boat to travel tens of thousands of miles through the Tempest Layer with minimal consumption, shuttling between the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty and Da Qian.

The construction of a Cloud Ray Flying Boat was extremely complex, involving much advanced Artifact Refining knowledge. Currently, Da Qian simply lacked the capability to produce Cloud Ray Flying Boats.

Therefore, to some extent, it was also a testament to the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty’s advanced Artifact Refining strength and a symbolic product of human civilization’s achievements.

However, compared to usual, it was somewhat ungraceful as it navigated the clouds, occasionally trembling and shaking as if something was wrong.

On closer inspection, the boat’s ray wings were covered in tatters and patches, and parts of the dragonbones were exposed, twisted and contorted as if they had been hastily repaired with special techniques.

Inside the cabin of the Cloud Ray Flying Boat, the conditions were a complete mess, with scratch marks and repair signs all over the floor and walls. In one corner, there was even a huge pile of unrecognizable, shattered junk.

In the beast cage.

Five little wolf cubs sat in a neat line, their eyes pure and innocent, as if the secret acts of destruction along the way had nothing to do with them at all.

They were still young, and as little wolf cubs, what was so bad about being playful?

Who asked you humans to be so careless, first forgetting to lock it, then using a flimsy lock, and providing substandard cages… How was that related to them?

The captain of this Cloud Ray Flying Boat, Yao Chengchao, was a robust middle-aged man who usually steered at the front, but now he sat in front of the cubs’ cage, staring at them as if facing a formidable enemy.

He looked ragged and exhausted, with bloodshot eyes, his face worn as if he hadn’t slept for months. He was holding a wine jug in his hand, frequently taking sips directly from it, and as he drank, tears started flowing.

“Dammit, dammit, what kind of gods raised these wolf cubs? Why does every single one seem as cunning as a sprite, can’t you look away for even a moment.”

“Wuu wuu~~ my tribute wines, and all those rare goods… most importantly, the Painting of the Divine Dynasty Twilight intended for Emperor Longchang.”

As soon as he mentioned the Painting of the Divine Dynasty Twilight, Yao Chengchao couldn’t help but look despairingly at the pile of rubbish, things that were beyond any hope of repair.

This loss was too great, a severe blow to Yao’s finances!

“Which damned shopkeeper took on the task of transporting wolf cubs? When I get back, I’ll make sure you pay for this!!!” Yao Chengchao, born into the Yao family, roared incessantly.

At the same time.

In a certain place of the Immortal Dynasty, a chubby shopkeeper was sneezing continuously, “Achoo, achoo~~”

After pondering for a moment, he recalled the task of transporting the little wolf cubs, it should be nearing Dongqian Country by now, right?

Thinking about how fat that deal was, how much pure profit it promised, he felt waves of excitement wash over him.

Once this deal was settled, headquarters would surely recognize his contributions and talents, right?

Promotion and raise were just around the corner, then he could afford two concubines. His nagging wife at home, hehe~~

The fat shopkeeper smiled, his face rippling with pleasure, those easy marks looking so dear—it would be fantastic if there were more like them, then his life would take off!
