As a lord, I was forced to farm

Soon, the news that His Highness the Prince of Du would be moving to Cangwu Palace in mid-May spread throughout the entire Dasu region.

The sky was a clear, deep blue, and sunlight slanted through the clouds, falling onto the sea. A gentle breeze stirred up ripples of light.

Nanzhu Town Wharf.

This seaside town now encompasses three villages: Nanzhu Village, Fengyu Village, and Aojia Village.

Nanzhu Town not only has the first boatyard and salt field in Dasu, but now it also has a well-equipped wharf. Every day, thousands of boats dock at the wharf, including not only the boats of Dasu fishermen, but also sometimes the boats of sects such as Tianlong Palace and Lanning Sect.

About five kilometers from the pier, a tall building rises from the flat ground, a magnificent white building standing in the east—this is the Tomaridai, said to be the hub connecting the Lingze Islands and other places in Osukyu.

Because it had been under construction and closed off for some time, the local residents had no way of knowing the specifics.

However, today is a very special day. The construction of Cangwu Palace has been completed, and the Ministry of Rites has set an auspicious date for His Highness the Prince to move to the palace.

Therefore, the Imperial Terrace is now open to the public!

The Bogodai is divided into two parts: a spacious open-air mooring area and magnificent auxiliary buildings. The surrounding worship corridors are packed with people, all of whom are enthusiastic citizens eager to witness the majesty of His Highness the King.

Looking into the distance, one can see soldiers standing upright like pine trees on a wide and clean open-air square, their eyes as sharp and cold as eagles. In the center of the square, guarded by the soldiers, are some people dressed in python robes and jade belts, with extraordinary bearing.

"The soldiers of my Great Su are truly impressive! They've really impressed me!"

"The demeanor of an official is truly extraordinary. When will my child be able to wear that uniform?"

Where is His Highness the Prince?

"Cangwu Palace is finally completed! You have no idea how magnificent it is! It's probably even more imposing than the palaces in provincial territories like Da Ce and Da Zang!"

Seeing such admiration, someone's eyes lit up, "Sister, could it be that you've seen Cangwu Palace and been to places like Da Ce? Is it really as you say?"

The woman shook her finger smugly, "Never been there, but do we need to think about it? Can places like Da Ce and Da Zang have such magical places as sky islands? Just based on this alone, our Da Su palace has a 90% advantage!"

"Too!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but much of the conversation was focused on the giant ships on the open-air plaza of the Imperial Terrace.

The giant ship was shaped like a boat, or a giant bird cast from black iron. The one at the very front, in particular, was over forty feet long, with smooth and beautiful lines and gorgeous decorations. It immediately caught everyone's attention and made them reluctant to look away.

"What kind of strange bird is that? Is it kept by His Highness Prince Du? Such a huge bird must need a lot of food every day!"

"And there are nine giant birds! Tsk tsk, their combat power must be extraordinary!"

Some people, looking at it from a distance, thought it was a real, living giant bird and exclaimed in awe.

But soon someone noticed something was wrong: "That giant bird wasn't moving at all; it wasn't alive!"

"What kind of eyes do you have? That's clearly a huge ship! I just don't know why it has a pair of wings!"

The discussion among the group did not affect Jiang Ran and the others inside the Imperial Palace. Jiang Ran, Jiang Nancheng, Jiang Wen, and the others were dressed in a dignified and beautiful manner today.

Jiang Ran, in particular, wore a black robe with crimson trim, the fabric of which was made of the most precious silk. The black was as deep as the vast night sky, and the crimson was like the rising sun. The robe was adorned with gold thread, colorful embroidery, and exquisitely crafted depictions of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and algae.

Beneath her magnificent and imposing attire, Jiang Ranrong was exquisitely beautiful, with slightly raised, dark eyebrows that hinted at a sharp edge, and eyes that seemed to see through the darkness.

Its very beauty is the very posture of a scepter, which its subjects dare not look directly at.

Looking at Jiang Nancheng and Jiang Wen, both were dressed in magnificent deep purple robes. The former was as elegant and refined as ink jade, while the latter was as dashing and heroic as a splash of color.

At this crucial moment, Bai Mei and the other two beasts also transformed into human form to accompany Jiang Ran. Compared to humans, they had a somewhat eerie and wild appearance, and just standing there quietly, they exuded a powerful aura.

"Your Highness, the time has come. Please board the Sky-Patrol Boat."

As the sun moved to the center of the sky, Rabbit Stone's voice rang in Jiang Ran's ears.

At the very front, on the largest Sky Patrol Boat, a jade-colored staircase extended from inside the ship. Jiang Ran took a step and, under the almost reverent gazes of the crowd, stepped into the exclusive Sky Patrol Pavilion.

The three beasts, Bai Mei, Mo Sheng, and Fei Xuan, who were essentially one with Jiang Ran, followed closely behind.

Jiang Nancheng and Jiang Wen entered the second and third Sky Patrol Boats respectively.

Next, Lin Sha, Qiu Baishui, Tian Jing, Hu Lian, and other high-ranking officials took their seats in the fourth and fifth boats according to their official ranks, until all nine patrol boats were occupied.

Stepping into the Sky Patrol Pavilion, Jiang Ran's gaze swept across the interior.

Her personal celestial patrol boat was unlike any other celestial patrol boat. It was like a flying house, complete with all the necessary facilities, including bedrooms and beds for people to rest, and even a study and a tea room. The decoration was luxurious and elegant in every way.

"Sigh, it's really uncomfortable in front of so many people." Bai Mei instantly transformed into a white dragon, coiling around Jiang Ran's legs. The young dragon's low voice echoed in the lazy room.

As a dragon, Bai Mei did develop a certain fondness for the Da Su people because of Jiang Ran, but the nature of the Cangyue Tyrannosaurus was inherent; they were arrogant and irritable, regarding humans as ants, and disliked associating with them.

Today, he had to wear layers upon layers of human clothing, stand respectfully beside Jiang Ran, and receive the worship of thousands of people. His blue eyes grew increasingly dark.

Fortunately, they finally boarded the Sky-Patrolling Boat. The servants following Jiang Ran were waiting behind the door, so at least no one else was watching them.

Mo Sheng and Fei Xuan were more natural than Bai Mei.

The former is indifferent and uncaring, while the latter is more gentle and affectionate.

Sometimes when Fei Xuan is bored, she will even transform into a butterfly and quietly enter the world to see all the different aspects of life in the city.

Therefore, she sat upright and glanced at Bai Mei, saying, "You are really spoiled by your master. Today is an important day for your master's move, and you can't even stand being made to wear that outfit for a few hours."

Bai Mei tilted the dragon head slightly, showing no anger at the comment that "the master spoils him." On the contrary, he was quite pleased. Sure enough, Fei Xuan also felt that the master liked him.

However, Fei Xuan's words did make some sense. Bai Mei quickly transformed back into human form, putting on her magnificent robes layer by layer as she said, "To be honest, none of these clothes can compare to the majesty of my dragon form. It would be better if I simply transformed into a giant dragon and carried my master to Cangwu Palace!" (End of Chapter)
