I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

"I believe what you say. However, I hope you can treat them better."

The Prince of Yunwu's expression was naturally not good in response to Fang Yu's threats and warnings. However, he could also tell that Fang Yu was not joking or saying anything false, but truly had the power to kill him with a single slap. Faced with such a person, even the Prince of Yunwu had to behave himself, just as Fang Yu had said.

He had to behave himself; otherwise, Fang Yu might really take his life. Under these circumstances, even if the Prince of Yunwu was unwilling, he had to behave himself, or he would truly lose his life. As the Prince of Yunwu, he naturally didn't want to be so easily killed with a slap. Under these circumstances, he could only find an excuse to save face.

"Alright, just do what you're supposed to do, and don't waste your breath on me. As long as you cooperate well, everything will be fine; if you don't, I can't guarantee anything. Anyway, I've said what I needed to say, and saying more would be redundant. Just do as I say, and I can't concern myself with anything else. If you do as I say, I can guarantee you a life of plenty, wealth, and endless enjoyment, and I can also make your Yunwu Kingdom even stronger. If you don't do as I say, then I can't care what happens to you. You might be wiped out by me, or you might be wiped out by some other force. Anyway, I can only tell you that the Kunlun Realm isn't very stable right now, so everything depends on your own abilities. Here are some workshops, and some profit..." "These harmful things, just take a look. If you can cultivate them, it's best to cultivate them; if you can't, then there's nothing I can do. Just look at them step by step and choose accordingly. If you can't cultivate them, you can give them to your son or daughter. That way, your Yunwu Kingdom might have more hope for the future. As for what kind of hope, I don't know, but there will be more hope. This is my rent here. After all, I've been here for many days, not just a day or two. As for when I'll leave, I don't know either. It might be a year or two, or it might be much longer. I'll leave sooner or later, you know that. Don't worry, I won't stay here for too long. When the time comes, I'll naturally leave. Consider this rent. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do. Oh, right, here, take this."

After speaking, Fang Yu tossed the things he had prepared to Prince Yunwu. Prince Yunwu was astonished after looking at them. He hadn't expected Fang Yu to be so generous, giving him such precious cultivation techniques and powerful martial arts. This was something he hadn't anticipated at all; perhaps his own knowledge was too shallow.

"You don't need to say thank you; those words mean nothing to me. Just do as I say, and don't worry about anything else. Your most important thing is to protect your own life, don't do anything foolish, and don't do anything that annoys me. That would be absolutely beneficial for both of us. If you insist on doing something that annoys me, then I'll have to find someone else to be the Prince of Yunwu. That's not difficult for me; I think you can sense that it's just a matter of a word, or even a slap. So, I hope you'll be a little sensible and not do anything that annoys me too much."

"As long as you do these things well, you don't need to worry about the rest. As for what I do, don't concern yourself with it either. What I do will absolutely not have a significant impact or cause much harm to your Yunwu Kingdom. I can guarantee that. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. That's all I can do. I'm only saying all this because we share the same bloodline. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't even be telling you these things. Telling you this is a waste of my breath, and I don't want to waste my breath, but I have no choice. After all, if I don't waste my breath, you might not understand, and you might do something foolish, which wouldn't be good, right?"

“I know you are shocked, confused, and puzzled right now. Why did I come here? Why did I choose such a small Yunwu County? But I can only tell you that I had no choice and no other option. How should I put it? It all depends on luck and fate. It’s a rather bad thing for me. But believe me, as long as I work hard and keep going, I will definitely not encounter anything too difficult. Even if there are difficulties, I can overcome them.”

"As for the difficulties your Yunwu County is facing, I can't help you with that. I can only say that I will try my best to help you solve them. But with the cultivation techniques and martial arts I've given you, you should be able to solve them, right? With a little effort and hard work, more strong people should emerge. That would be a good thing for you and for the Yunwu County, wouldn't it?"

"That way, I can save myself some effort and worry, which is absolutely beneficial for both of us. I can also gain some benefits, namely resources. I need resources to solve many things now. Without enough resources, it's impossible for me to become strong, right? What are the uses of resources? I think you should know very well. And since you've already cultivated to this level, I hope you can cultivate a little more and become even stronger. This shouldn't be too difficult for you. After all, you've cultivated for so many years. I think you know how to choose, so I don't need to say more. I just hope you can be a little smarter. This will benefit both of us greatly. To put it bluntly, you go your way, and I'll go mine. Isn't that great? And you can also get a lot of benefits from me, such as these cultivation techniques and martial arts. Under normal circumstances, do you think you could get them?"

"Such profound techniques and martial arts are something you could never obtain under normal circumstances, right? So rest assured, as long as you follow me, there will be absolute benefits and absolutely no drawbacks. Therefore, I hope you can be a little more sensible and obediently follow me, so that we can both benefit. Of course, the prerequisite for following me is that you have to pay some tuition, such as resources. You must get them for me, which shouldn't be a bad thing for you right now. Of course, these resources are only useful to me now, and will be useless later. If you're thinking of taking advantage of me when I'm not paying attention, then I can only say one thing: I was blind to cooperate with such an inhuman person. Of course, I also hope and believe that you are not that kind of person, right? As long as you don't do anything stupid, then everything will be fine."

After Fang Yu finished his long and rambling speech, the Prince of Yunwu was still somewhat confused, but he understood that Fang Yu was not someone he could afford to offend. Therefore, he didn't waste any words, simply nodded silently, and left without uttering a single complaint. Fang Yu was quite satisfied with the Prince of Yunwu's choice. He didn't try to stop him, nor did he ask when the resources would be delivered. He trusted the Prince of Yunwu to handle this matter well, believing him to be a smart man. If he weren't smart, he wouldn't have survived this long, nor could he have held the position of Prince of Yunwu for so long. Of course, he could also be considered foolish; otherwise, he wouldn't have been cuckolded for so many years. He couldn't change this situation now, as it had happened many years ago. If he could have acted earlier, he might have been able to change things, but now he couldn't, because the deed was done.

He wasn't that old monk; he couldn't travel to the past or return to the future. In any case, he couldn't stop this matter. He could only try his best to prepare the Prince of Yunwu in front of him, and also to give him some mental preparation.

However, Prince Yunwu could glean some clues from his words. What Prince Yunwu would do was none of his concern. He had said what he needed to say; how Prince Yunwu would act and arrange things was his business, and had nothing to do with him. Having said what he needed to say, and after Prince Yunwu left, he didn't linger but returned to his room to cultivate. For him, restoring or increasing his strength was the most important thing. Although this body's aptitude wasn't great, it was no longer important to him. With enough resources, aptitude would no longer be a problem or difficulty; it could be easily resolved without much effort or skill. He could solve most problems; these were no longer difficult for him. For him, resources were sufficient. What might be difficult for others was not so easy, but for him, it was enough.

Of course, no one else knew about their conversation, not even the rest of the royal palace, especially regarding its content. However, as Yunwu County Prince had hoped, he sent a great deal of resources, essentially revealing the entire wealth of the Yunwu County, which surprised him greatly. His younger siblings, especially those who had just awakened their Divine Martial Marks, received top-tier cultivation techniques. This was extremely beneficial to them, as these techniques would make them stronger and more powerful—a tremendous boon for them. His siblings, being no fools, diligently practiced the techniques, opening their meridians.

Although this would greatly increase the resources required, the Prince of Yunwu did not care, because he knew very well that as long as his children could grow up in a short period of time, his Yunwu Kingdom would become stronger, and the benefits he would receive would be indescribable.

As for the Queen's affairs, he was too lazy to care, nor did he care what she had done; it was none of his business anymore. He needed to cultivate now, he wanted to become stronger, or rather, he had to become stronger, in order to control everything. He had to achieve this, otherwise all his years of cultivation would have been in vain. Moreover, only by becoming stronger could he better govern his Yunwu Kingdom.

Therefore, his cultivation time was extended. As for the affairs of Yunwu County, he entrusted them to someone he trusted, not the Grand Preceptor, but someone else. He no longer trusted the Grand Preceptor at all, and entrusted the matter to someone else, who proved to be trustworthy and managed Yunwu County very well, which was quite unexpected.

However, this also greatly increased the Prince of Yunwu's cultivation time, allowing him to cultivate with greater peace of mind. Although he couldn't change his cultivation method, he diligently practiced the martial arts Fang Yu had taught him. After all, just by practicing those martial arts, he had gained many benefits; at least his strength had greatly increased. Although the resources required had also increased significantly, he didn't mind. As long as his strength increased, he could obtain resources from other places.

This is the rule of this world, so Prince Yunwu doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, nor does he care. As long as he has enough strength, he can seize even more resources. This is not a difficult thing for him, because he has become stronger and more powerful.

Fang Yu didn't care about what the Prince of Yunwu was doing, nor would he care, because he knew the prince was working for him. He needed a lot of resources, and the prince was trying to secure them for him. (End of Chapter)
