As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 692 Flower of Sin
The wild green horse was very tall. Niu Niu sat in the arms of her sister, the county lady. Her chubby little hands grasped Jiang Ran's clothes, her small body pressed against her arms, and she looked up at the clear white jaw above.

pretty!
Niu Niu's face is rosy and her eyes are starry.

"You Shaorong is extremely rare. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come across it. It is said to symbolize good fortune and can bring good luck to those who see it." The You Shaorong in the palm of Jiang Ran's hand floated, and the delicate fairy pink flowers exuded a faint floral fragrance, which was refreshing.

A purple-gold light flashed in Jiang Ran's eyes, ripples of water passed by, and a crystal-pink silkworm appeared from You Shaorong.

With her eyes lowered, Niu Niu still stared at her without blinking, looking foolishly happy.

Jiang Ran suddenly took her hand and stuffed it into the mouth of You Shaorong spirit insect.

"Um~Sister County Lord, Niu Niu was bitten by a bug..." The tip of her hand hurt a little and it was bleeding. Niu Niu felt a little aggrieved.

The three-year-old child's little brain did not understand at all that Jiang Ran had signed a contract with a demon insect for her. She just thought that her father and mother told her not to look directly into the eyes of the county lady. She must have looked at the county lady directly just now and made the county lady angry, so Niu Niu was bitten by the insect.

The brave Niu Niu didn't cry.

Of course, Jiang Ran wouldn’t comfort her even if she cried.

Putting the demon insect on the little girl's shoulder, the demon insect naturally had a good impression of the master with whom it had signed a contract, so it did not run away.

The You Shaorong spirit insect was very cute and quickly captured Niu Niu's heart.

At this time, Niu Niu's parents also came up and stood outside the cordon nervously and hesitantly.

Jiang Ran asked the two men to come over.

"Greetings, Her Majesty the County, this is our Niu Niu..." This family was very honest and not very good at speaking. They were worried that Niu Niu had offended the County Majesty, so they tried to explain hesitantly but didn't know how.

Judging from their clothes, the family are ordinary farmers from Suling County. There are very slight fluctuations of spiritual energy in their bodies, but they are not cultivators.

This is normal. Not everyone who has the aptitude to practice can become a cultivator. First, some people will never find out that they can practice. If Jiang Ran had not had the aptitude crystal, Suhong Academy would not have been able to open so smoothly. Second, knowledge is generally monopolized, and most cultivators who have practiced are not willing to share their cultivation methods.

It was a pity to think about it, but now Jiang Ran did not specially build an adult monk academy. They had missed the best time for cultivation. The world of monks was glorious, but also very cruel. If you don't have a talent like Hu Lian, but only a poor qualification of the red level, it will only hurt yourself if you set foot on the path of cultivation.

Of course, as the lord of Suling County, Jiang Ran did not stifle the dreams of ordinary people. As long as they joined the army, the army would test their talent for cultivation for free, and would also provide them with cultivation techniques and some cultivation resources.

If parents have a talent for cultivation, their children will most likely inherit it. Niu Niu has a talent for water and wood cultivation and has a strong affinity for plants. It seems that she has a good talent.

Jiang Ran did not dismount, but easily placed Niuniu on the ground steadily. Holding the beautiful You Shaorong in his left hand, he said to Niuniu's parents, "What's her name?"

Niu Niu's father stepped forward cautiously and said, "Your Excellency, Chen Xiaoniu, my daughter's name is Chen Xiaoniu."

Many people in Suling County are illiterate, and such names for cats and dogs are not uncommon.

"Then how about I give her another name?"

This was a name bestowed by the county lady. Father Chen was stunned for a moment, then he knelt down in joy and thanked her, "Thank you, county lady!"

"Then we'll use this flower as our name, and call ourselves Chen Shaorong."

...Now Jiang Ran doesn't care about a demon insect. To her, it is not as important as a person's pure heart.

This was just a small episode on the way back to the court, but for Chen Shaorong, it might be an important turning point in her life.

……

Just as Jiang Ran put Chen Shaorong down, the system panel that had been silent for a while suddenly popped up.

[Territory basic information panel]

Territory name: Suling County

Lord: Jiang Ran

Territory land area: 36319 square kilometers
Territory marine area: 173690 square kilometers
Number of citizens: 11+
Loyalty of subjects: 90 (100)

Number of monsters: 29 (Ice Zhi monster, Red Blood Three-forked Bamboo monster, Red Wheat monster, Cocoa monster, Holy Cotton bug...)
Jade Map Secret Realm: Nanguan Secret Realm (County), Xiangling Secret Realm (Capital)
(...)
Overall level: County level (township, town, county, prefecture, capital, province, country, hegemony level)

(Evaluation: You have shown your potential. With a group of people who are willing to die, your position is unshakable.)
Jiang Ran's gaze paused at the loyalty value of 90.

The threshold from seventy to eighty is difficult to cross, and the gap from eighty-nine to ninety is even greater.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

90 (100) does not mean that ninety out of a hundred people are willing to follow you, but that most of them are willing to die for you.

Jiang Ran has always believed that people's minds change rapidly and are difficult to predict. It is extremely rash to judge by numbers, so she did not take this too seriously. She just took it as a reference and just did her best.

So Jiang Ran was not too excited. Besides, the loyalty value of the people in her territory was not always increasing. She had also experienced a decline in it.

But the system did reward something good.

A top-grade, saint-level space-related technique, the Mahayana Void Profound Sutra, was of an impressive grade and name, but now was not the time to take it out and look at it.

There was some anticipation in his heart. At this moment, he heard the sound of wind beside him, and saw a black figure falling on the wild green horse that was half a step behind Cuilong.

Looking at Jiang Ran's profile, this mysterious master felt curious for the first time.

"Since you know You Shaorong's name, you should also know that You Shaorong is not a lucky flower? Why did you lie?" Pan Gushou's voice was so low that almost only Jiang Ran could hear it.

"I didn't lie." Jiang Ran said in a calm tone.

Pan Gushou narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised by her answer.

He originally thought that Jiang Ran would say something high-sounding like "It's for the good of that little girl." Of course, there would be no problem with that, but Pan Gushou would think that Jiang Ran was being hypocritical and had bad intentions. After all...

"About a few hundred years ago, there was only one territory in Jiangyue, which was Jiangyue Kingdom. However, one day, a fire suddenly fell from the sky and burned for three months. All the people were killed and corpses were scattered all over the land. Even Jiangyue Kingdom, which had existed for more than 300 years, was torn apart by such a punishment from heaven and ceased to exist."

Pan Gu Shou mentioned Jiangyue Kingdom with some regret in his tone, "When Jiangyue Kingdom was destroyed, the broken city walls and corpses all over the field were covered with bright pink flowers in one day. Under the alternation of morning sun and sunset, it was so breathtakingly beautiful... so sinfully beautiful..."

"…So, You Shaorong is not a lucky flower at all. On the contrary, it symbolizes sin and misfortune."
