Chapter 245 Marquis Couple (Final Chapter of Volume)

3rd September, the Imperial Court’s messengers arrived at the Meng family’s ancestral mansion. The Meng family’s elders led their clansmen to welcome them.

The ambassador loudly announced the two marquisate conferments!

“Young Master Meng Chuan has been conferred the title of marquis? His wife has also been conferred the title of marquis?”

“A marquis couple?”

Upon hearing the messengers’ announcement, many people were shocked. How high was the status of a Marquis Godfiend? How rare was it? In the entire Wu State, there were only three Marquis Godfiends alive. For two Marquis Godfiends to originate from Eastcalm Prefecture? It was something that the entire Eastcalm Prefecture could brag about for 1000 years.

“Have you heard? Senior Brother Meng Chuan has become a Marquis. His wife has also become a Marquis.”

“A marquis couple, and on the same day at that. This is truly unbelievable.”

“I don’t dare hope to become a marquis, much less marry a marquis as a wife. I’ll be satisfied as long as I can become a Godfiend.”

“You should work hard to reach the Mortal Shedding realm first. Marquis? Ha!”

Inside Mirror Lake Dao Academy, a group of Dao Academy disciples discussed Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.

Since Meng Chuan had once cultivated here, Mirror Lake Dao Academy had grown in strength and size over the years. It became the undisputed number one Dao Academy in Eastcalm Prefecture. With a large number of people moving into the city, there five times as many disciples in Mirror Lake Dao Academy compared to when Meng Chuan’s time.

The Dao Academy continued to expand over the years. However, land in Eastcalm Prefecture City was too precious. Thus, the Dao Academy could no longer expand.

“Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue have become Marquises?” In a small building in Mirror Lake Dao Academy, Yun Qingping was writing when she suddenly stopped to listen to the discussions outside. She was the same age as Meng Chuan. She was already 38 years old this year.

In the blink of an eye, 20 years have passed. Back then, I felt that Meng Chuan would become more and more powerful. Now, he has already become a Marquis Godfiend. Even Liu Qiyue has become a Marquis Godfiend. Yun Qingping stopped writing and looked out the window blankly.

Twenty years. She had gone from being the eldest daughter of the Yun family to a lecturer in Mirror Lake Dao Academy. She had experienced a lot. She had set her mind on cultivation and worked hard to become a Godfiend. However, as she grew older, she realized that she didn’t have what it took to become a Godfiend. She became a Mirror Lake Dao Academy lecturer and worked hard to teach her disciples.

What about me? It’s been 20 years. I’ve already reached the Impervious realm. I haven’t even achieved Sword Force. It’s probably not bad if I can achieve Sword Force before I turn old. Yun Qingping laughed self-deprecatingly. Humans are indeed different. The best I can achieve in life is what Meng Chuan achieved when he was young.

In the past 20 years, she had completely fallen out with her father and left the family to roam the world with her sword. She had once fallen in love, but because of the demons, she was alone again. She hated the demons to the bone…

She once wanted to become stronger, to become a Godfiend, and kill demons. However, she realized her limited potential and became a lecturer at Mirror Lake Dao Academy.

I’m weak, but I can still teach batches of disciples. I hope that some of my disciples will become Godfiends and kill more demons. Yun Qingping continued writing. She taught every disciple very seriously, and she was very well-liked in the Dao Academy. Even after 20 years, nobody dared to publicize Meng Chuan and Yun Qinping’s annulled engagement because they were afraid that they would offend the Meng family.

Therefore, the young disciples in Mirror Lake Dao Academy didn’t know the relationship between their Lecturer Yun and Meng Chuan.

Over the years, the population in Jiang State Capital had surged-exceeding over ten million people. In terms of population in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jiang State Capital was ranked in the top ten.

“Jiang State Capital.” Meng Chuan’s family descended past the clouds and looked down at the magnificent city.

“That’s Meng Manor, our future home.” Meng Chuan pointed at a manor that spanned an extremely wide area. There was a lake in the manor, which showed how big it was.

“How big.” Meng Dajiang marveled. “This is the state capital. Every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, yet we are living in such a big compound?

“I’ve been to Jiang State Capital before. I’ve never seen such a big compound in the vicinity of Starmoon Lake,” said Liu Yebai.

The family landed in front of the manor.

“Meng Manor.” Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue, Meng Dajiang, Liu Yebai, and the two toddlers looked at the manor entrance. The signboard above the entrance had the words “Meng Manor.”

A thin man quickly ran out of Meng Manor. He was an Indestructible Godfiend. He bowed respectfully to Meng Chuan and his wife, and said, “Greetings Marquis Eastcalm and Marchioness Calmmoon.”

“Is this newly built?” asked Meng Chuan. “Yes.” The thin man said immediately, “It was built on the orders from Archean Mountain. They have compensated the various families in the vicinity of Starmoon Lake and moved them to other parts of the city. Archean Mountain won’t bully mortals. Several Godfiends built this manor personally. It was built within a month. Also, Starmoon Lake is in the manor. This way, Marchioness Calmmoon will be able to practice her archery in the manor.”

Meng Chuan nodded and led his family inside.

“This mansion is rather large,” said Meng Dajiang. “From the sky, it looks much bigger than our Meng family’s ancestral mansion, and this manor is in Jiang State Capital.”

“Compared to Marquis Eastcalm and Marchioness Calmmoon, this is nothing,” said the thin man beside him with a smile.

“It’s so big. There are too few of us staying here,” said Meng Chuan. “Dad, you can arrange for thousands of clansmen from Eastcalm Prefecture to stay here. Such a large compound… It will be a lot more lively when there are more people. Our family will stay here for a long time.”

“Alright.” Meng Dajiang nodded. There would still be plenty of space even if thousands of people lived in a large Godfiend manor that spanned several kilometers. That day, a group of Godfiends came to pay their respects to Liu Qiyue. “Greetings, Marchioness Calmmoon.”

The dozen or so Godfiends were extremely respectful. Liu Qiyue sat in the seat of honor and flipped through a dossier. She indifferently said, “According to Archean Mountain’s arrangements, I will be in charge of Jiang State’s Earth Net from now on. However, I need to guard Jiang State Capital and have other matters to attend to. Therefore, Earth Net intelligence dossiers are to be delivered to the manor every day. I will read them carefully. You can settle day-to-day matters directly. I will decide on important matters.”

“Yes,” said the Earth Net Godfiends respectfully.

“Alright, you are dismissed.” Liu Qiyue nodded. From now on, she would be stationed in Jiang State Capital and guarded over ten million people. As a newly-advanced Marquis Godfiend, Liu Qiyue could unleash the strength of an ordinary Regis Godfiend after casting Phoenix’s Nirvana. All the major families in Jiang State Capital welcomed this new Marquis Godfiend.

As for commanding Earth Net? It was just a routine matter! The ordinary Godfiends settled all the miscellaneous matters. She just needed to monitor them.“All the Earth Net Godfiends have left?” Meng Chuan sat in his study and flipped through a dossier; it was from Archean Mountain.

“It’s normal for them to visit me, a nominal leader,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “In fact, I’m still very relaxed. My main job is to guard Jiang State Capital. Ah Chuan, you’re much busier than me.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. “In the future, my designated 1500-kilometer-wide rescue area will be centered around Jiang State Capital. There are a total of 119 prefectures. In fact, it’s equivalent to six states. Master really trusts me. He trusted me enough to rescue cities in six different states.”

“The other Marquis Godfiends need to buy their own land and build their own manors. Archean Mountain gave us a large manor. If the mission was easy, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be such a good thing,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile.

“Yes.” Meng Chuan put down the dossier and gently pulled his wife into his arms. “Qiyue, we will be staying in Jiang State Capital for the foreseeable future.”

“I’m only guarding Jiang State Capital. You have to protect six states. Be careful,” Liu Qiyue said softly. “Don’t worry. Your husband is quite skilled when it comes to escaping,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

Liu Qiyue leaned into Meng Chuan’s embrace and closed her eyes, enjoying the tranquility.
