"speak."
“The dragon’s cultivation should take place in Jinlin City,” Xu Fang said. “Dongting Lake is large enough and more than 1,200 kilometers away from the mouth of the Yangtze River, beyond the reach of the sea monsters.”
"You little rascal," Shao Zheng chuckled, "you're subtly working to benefit Jinlin City, fine, I agree!"
"There's one more thing," Xu Fang pressed, "Since we're going to raise dragons, the demons in Dongting Lake need to be thoroughly cleansed... We're a bit short on super-level mages, if only we could get ten or eight forbidden spell mages..."
Shao Zheng laughed angrily, "Ten or eight? Do you think forbidden spellcasters are as common as cabbages? You'd be lucky to get even one!"
"Oh right, there's one more thing."
"goodbye!"
"Don't hang it up, don't hang it up, it's not difficult."
Xu Fang quickly said, "This is a year of great disaster, and people are in a state of panic. I want to arrange the cleanup during the New Year, and broadcast it live throughout the city. Consider it a birthday gift for the disaster victims in Jinlin City."
Shao Zheng paused for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Alright, Chief Hua happened to be passing by at that time, so let's ask him to help."
"That would be perfect!"
The demons of Dongting Lake are formidable, but that depends on who they're compared to. In the hands of a powerful figure like Hua Zhanhong, they're far from being a match!
······
Jinlin City, southern suburbs.
"CCTV! CCTV! This is Xiaochuan, our reporter on the front lines!" The scene was bustling with reporters, and Xiaochuan, a CCTV reporter, stood at the very front:
"I am currently in Jinlin City, and we can see a huge welcoming contingent. Standing at the very front are Jinlin City municipal personnel!"
Behind them were members of the Jinlin City Military Band, dressed in neat military uniforms and wearing gleaming instruments, awaiting the arrival of the Victoria family!
In addition, there was a welcoming team composed of students from Jinlin City's First and Second Magic High Schools, waving colorful flags and radiating youthful energy!
As a reporter for CCTV, Xiao Chuan received the best treatment, approaching a high school student with a microphone: "Excuse me, could you tell me how you're feeling right now?"
The high school student hesitated for a moment, looked at his teacher, the teacher then looked at the principal, and the principal nodded.
"I'm so happy and excited. The teacher said he brought us here to broaden our horizons," said a high school student.
The principal chimed in from the side: "Councilor Xu told me before that the Victoria family would be coming in an Avalon, so I asked if I could bring the students to meet them... And here he is!"
Xiao Chuan quickly turned his head and saw a familiar blond face in the distance:
"Look over there, it's Xu Fang! Xu Fang is here! Ladies and gentlemen, this is Xu Fang, a former member of the Nationalist government, now a councilor of Jinlin City and a general in the Central Military Commission!"
Xu Fang changed into his military uniform today, and combed his hair back, looking less flamboyant and more mature than before.
"Councilor Xu..."
“Xiaochuan, right? We’re old friends.” Xu Fang smiled. “Back when the Nationalist government was in the final battle, you were the one who covered it with the team.”
Xiao Chuan's pimples turned bright red with excitement: "You have lived up to the expectations of the country and the people, and you have lived up to your own talent. You have achieved such great success in just one year since the end of the Nationalist War!"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the topic returned to welcoming them.
"Could you say a few words to the viewers at home?" Xiaochuan asked.
"of course."
Xu Fang said, "The Victoria family is an internationally renowned dragon training family, and Jinlin City is also an innovative and emerging city. I hope to achieve cooperation through in-depth exchanges and build a bridge of friendship between the two sides."
The municipal workers nearby listened with great relish, as if drinking fine wine.
Xu Juntong, a fellow comrade, I bet he got a perfect score on the essay section back then!
Xu Fang didn't have to wait long. Around nine o'clock in the morning, a sub-dragon of the Grand Commander level appeared in the sky, flapping its giant wings that were a hundred meters long, and quickly flew in this direction.
The welcoming students instinctively gasped in surprise.
Most of them had never even seen a general-level demon more than a few times, let alone a commander-level demon as terrifying as that!
This sub-dragon is far superior to the giant lizard pseudo-dragon of yesteryear in terms of both bloodline purity and strength. The aura emanating from its body is so oppressive that it makes it difficult for people to breathe.
"Roar—!!!" the dragon roared.
Xu Fang gave a forced smile, seemingly casually grabbing the dragon, but his powerful sonic magic directly suppressed the dragon's roar from halfway down the center!
Chapter 453 Negotiations between the two countries should be conducted with magnanimity.
Why are you yelling so loudly? What if you scare the sun at eight or nine o'clock?
Xu Fang's forceful muting of his microphone nearly choked Ya Long, leaving him suffocating in the air.
The dragon trainer didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly directed the dragon to land.
Xu Fang walked straight up to Ya Long.
Despite making no unnecessary movements, not even a threatening glance, the powerful wyvern didn't dare utter a single extra word, behaving as obediently as a domesticated lizard.
This scene was incredibly satisfying to watch, and everyone barely managed to suppress their cheers.
High school students, in particular, are scratching their heads, eager to show off their talents in front of others.
"Welcome, dear Grand Duchess Eileen, welcome to Jinlin City," Xu Fang said with a smile.
Eileen stepped down from the Yalong and performed an elegant ceremony, appearing humble and polite: "Mr. Xu, it's been a long time."
Her outfit today was quite eye-catching, with traditional-style clothes and accessories, giving her an elegant air.
In his golden eyes, there was an air of nobility that made one feel ashamed.
"Eileen had heard about Mr. Xu's deeds during that year while she was in England, which really made us peers ashamed."
Eileen wore an impeccable smile, but the envy in her eyes was genuine.
Xu Fang's rate of progress is quite astounding, even on a global scale.
Not to mention the direct killing of a seasoned super-level mage in Africa, which must have caused countless young mages to have their Dao hearts shattered!
As far as Eileen knew, Zheluo was one of them.
Every day, his must-do thing is to watch CCTV News Overseas Edition to see what big news Xu Fang, his unilaterally recognized nemesis, has made.
After numerous breakdowns and sleepless nights, the elegant Zheluo's forehead was suddenly covered in pimples, a rare occurrence for her.
"This is a gift from the Victoria family to you. Please accept it." Eileen took out a dragon egg from a storage container.
The dragon egg was small, light blue, and looked delicate and cute.
Xu Fang took the egg and immediately felt the little creature inside hitting the shell; it was a very strong little life.
A whole bunch of cameras were shoved right in front of them.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the dragon egg actually hatched on the spot, and a cute little dragon head emerged from it, with two small protrusions on its head, which should be dragon horns!
“With dragon horns, it must be at least a sub-dragon.” Eileen congratulated him, “Mr. Xu is so lucky, I’m sure our negotiations will go smoothly.”
luck?
Xu Fang didn't even believe the punctuation marks; these were definitely carefully selected through screening!
—Just imagine how unlucky it would be if, at such a crucial moment, a tiny, scrawny dragon, resembling a dried plum, crawled out of the egg, and how ugly the scene would be.
"Thank you for the gift, Grand Duke. Please." Xu Fang placed the little dragon on his shoulder.
Little Yalong was quite fond of him, clinging tightly to his clothes and refusing to let go.
Such a heartwarming scene naturally attracted a flurry of camera flashes.
"please."
Xu Fang and Eileen walked side by side, chatting and laughing. Grayson and the others behind them were somewhat resentful, but dared not show it.
The old British royal family was arrogant, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and unwilling to lower their pride even when they needed something from others.
Xu Fang doesn't tolerate this kind of bad habit. Like he said before, nobody should try to show off in front of me!
If you want to cooperate, then cooperate; if you don't want to cooperate, then leave. The next one will be even more obedient.
······
[CCTV News reports that during the negotiations with Victoria & Alfred, both sides engaged in frank exchanges.]
"Damn, you really dare to say that? A few broken dragons are going to be exchanged for three of my production lines?"
"It's a dragon! A dragon!"
"What dragon? It's just a bigger lizard. Take it or leave it!"
"You're twisting the facts! You surnamed Xu, do you really think Irene has no temper, being so unreasonable?"
"Alright, let's go to the training ground! Whoever wins gets to decide!"
"I am the Grand Duke of Victoria, you dare to touch me!"
"Try it or not, I'm not afraid of you, Big Bear Girl!"
[According to CCTV News, the Jinlin City government and Victoria Family exchanged views on topics of mutual concern, enhancing mutual understanding.]
"With your lousy attitude, you'll never find a wife in your entire life! You wouldn't even be wanted if you married into the family!"
"What, is Grand Duchess Eileen going to use herself as bait in a political marriage to solve my urgent problem?"
"I tried to talk to you in a good-natured way, and this is how you treat us?"
"Heh, I've seen through your true colors long ago. In short, you're not getting any advantage of me! Guards, show them out!"
The talks were beneficial.
"You stingy bastard, just let your broken production line rot away!"
"Then you can just stay and guard your male dragon... Hey, hey, what's wrong? Put down your teacup! You want to fight, huh!"
"Shet!"
"Mother Gan Lin!"
However, the Jinlin City Government has reservations about the conditions proposed by the Victoria family.
"Grayson, let's go! Don't waste your breath on this stingy little man!"
"Zhang Xiaohou, see the guest out! The old master was right, only petty men and women are difficult to deal with! This is intolerable! Don't say I didn't warn you!"
"...What do you mean by 'not prepared'?"
