Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

"At present, we can only confirm that it is an artificial cave. The specific situation is still unknown. A large number of orcs are gathered inside. The Xuan Yuan Empire does not want to start a massacre, for fear of provoking a counterattack from the powerful native orcs of Qi Yuan Star."

Countries can only tentatively and slowly clear out the orcs from the outskirts.

Master Bart sighed and said, "We know too little about Qiyuan Star. Although it is certain that there are spiritual veins, spiritual materials and spiritual medicines everywhere, it is too dangerous. Moreover, the Xuanyuan Empire does not grant permission."

Vanka shook his head and said, "This is a problem that the higher-ups need to discuss. We don't need to worry about it for now. You'll have to work hard these next few days and keep a close eye on our defenses. Those two giant apes are no threat. The most important thing is to find the most suitable location for us to build our city as soon as possible."

Bart nodded and turned to walk out, but after a few steps, he realized that Shen Bai had not followed.

He turned to look at Shen Bai, who was staring intently at Vanka: "Miss Vanka, I recently discovered some monster hunters in Qiyuan City, and it seems..."

"Is there anything else, little brother?"

Vanka saw that Bart had stopped, interrupting Shen Bai's report, and looked at him.

"It's alright now!"

Bart looked at Shen Bai with some suspicion, but still quickly left. The entire stronghold was in a mess and needed to be restored as soon as possible; there was too much to do.

"Ugh—"

As soon as Bat-Zhen stepped out of the temporary command post, Wanka was picked up by Shen Bai and placed on the desk.

The alluring Vanka only had time to wave her hand to activate the command post's protective array before being engulfed in a suffocating, deep kiss.

"Your Excellency Consul General, I need to give you a detailed report on my recent work."

……

Three days later, with the concerted efforts of many fifth-tier array masters, the Rota Kingdom camp was re-established.

The orcs within a hundred-mile radius were wiped out by True Person Bart and ten thousand Golden Core cultivators.

The mining of spirit ore is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

During this period, Wanka went to Qiyuan City and quickly reached an agreement with the Xuanyuan Empire. He spent a huge sum of money to invite a sixth-level array master from the Xuanyuan Empire to open a teleportation array for both parties.

Ten days later, the teleportation array in the Kingdom of Rota was established.

Fifteen days later, 50,000 Qi Refining stage cultivators were sent to the stronghold in the Kingdom of Luota to begin mining spirit vein ore with all their might.

The entire stronghold is undergoing rapid changes, with more and more Rota Kingdom cultivators being sent there, and more and more Rota Kingdom enterprises coming to establish branches.

In less than a month, the stronghold of the Kingdom of Rota had become indistinguishable from a small county town.

Shen Bai even saw the red lanterns of Shenjing on the street.

This made him realize that Shenjing was really good at business.

During this month, Shen Bai's main task was to supervise the mining of spirit stones. Secondly, he would routinely go to the command post every day between 4 pm and 5 pm to report the progress of the work to Wanka.

With the same bouquet of roses and at the same time, Shen Bai announced his relationship with Vanka to everyone in such a high-profile manner.

A constant stream of jealousy points was generated every day, converging on Shen Bai.

Some of these jealousy points came from the sword cultivators within the stronghold, while others came from the distant Blue Star.

As more and more powerful physiques were integrated, Shen Bai's cultivation aptitude also increased.

In the third month after arriving on Qiyuan Star, he already felt that he had touched the threshold of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Every day, he acquires new skills, new techniques, and new physiques. The only pity is that he no longer cares about the Golden Core cultivators.

He needs a bigger and stronger rival in love.

……

On this day, Shen Bai went to the command post as usual, only to find an old acquaintance standing at the entrance.

"Philip the Real Person?"

Shen Bai walked up to the other party and stopped. After he had finished fleecing them, he had long forgotten about them and thought they had already returned to the Kingdom of Rota. He didn't expect to run into them here again.

"Heh, it's you again, you little fly. What? Still dreaming of marrying Miss Vanka?"

Fip had been waiting for Shen Bai here on purpose, and when he saw Shen Bai, he sneered, "You didn't lose your dog's life under the orcs' attack, so why don't you hurry up and find a place to cultivate properly?"

Shen Bai looked at the other person arrogantly: "It's much better than some simp who can't even hold hands and can only bark wildly."

Fip was furious. He pointed at Shen Bai's nose and was about to curse him, but he paused and became more formal.

"I am now the Deputy Consul General of the Kingdom of Rota stationed on Qiyuan Star, second only to Miss Vanka in power. Therefore, I now order you to hand over the management rights of the mining vein. In addition, I have received intelligence that a spiritual vein has been discovered tens of thousands of miles to the west. I order you to go and investigate the level of the spiritual vein and the amount of spirit stones it contains."

After issuing two orders, a sinister and smug look appeared on Fip's face: "Set off immediately, or you will be punished for disobeying military orders and executed on the spot."

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows slightly. He hadn't expected the other party to have the title of deputy consul general and to directly use military orders to pressure him.

Looks like I'll have to have a serious talk with this guy today.

His gaze fell on the command post office, but he found that Vanka had not come out, and his heart sank slightly.

"No need to look anymore. Miss Vanka is meeting with the envoy from the Kingdom of Xisai. She doesn't have time for a little fly like you. Alright, if you don't set off now, don't blame me for issuing military orders."

Philip's eyes gleamed with pride; he had gone to great lengths to create such a golden opportunity.

Today, I'll get rid of you, you little fly.

The Golden Core cultivators around him also gathered around menacingly, ready to strike with lightning speed if Shen Bai dared to utter a single word of dissent.

"Great! Then you can wait for my good news!"

Shen Bai nodded and casually tossed out a token, which was the token of the mine manager.

In front of a large crowd of onlookers, Shen Bai slowly rose into the air and sped off towards the west, ten thousand meters away.

In this situation, there is no need to get into a conflict with the other party.

However, if you think of yourself as an ant that can be easily crushed, you'll probably regret it soon.

"Follow him, kill him!"

Phelps transmitted his voice to the people behind him, then smiled and nodded to the crowd of onlookers before walking into the command post office.

"What's going on? Is Li Bai being targeted?"

"It's so obvious! Miss Vanka is the dream girl of millions of male cultivators in the country, yet she's been won over by an unknown sword cultivator. Who wouldn't be furious?"

"It's a pity. Li Bai saved many of our lives before, but now he's being targeted like this."

……

The crowd discussed the matter animatedly, but no one dared to offer assistance.

Fei Pu's cultivation level is not high, but his family's power is extremely strong. Such a person is definitely not someone that everyone can touch.

Li Bai was merely a sword cultivator who had defected to the Xuan Yuan Empire. Even if he was invincible below the Golden Core stage, he was only a dominant figure below the Golden Core stage.

When Li Bai first arrived at Qiyuan Star, he was exceptionally fierce and performed exceptionally well in every aspect, so everyone paid close attention to him.

Now that the Golden Core cultivators have a numerical advantage in the stronghold, Li Bai's importance is no longer apparent.

When Vanka finished meeting with the ambassador of Cissé, it was already close to 7 p.m.

After seeing the guests off, Vanka immediately took out a communication talisman to contact Shen Bai, but the message he received was: "I have been assigned to explore a spirit mine thousands of miles away. I will come to find you when I return."

"Li Bai has been assigned to prospect for minerals?"

Vanka paused for a moment, then turned to look at her assistant.

"It was arranged by Lord Philip. He also revoked Li Bai's license to manage the mining operations."

The assistant, being Vanka's closest confidante, naturally knew what her boss was thinking and immediately gave a brief account of the conflict that had occurred during the day.

"Phip, you've gone too far!"

Vanka let out a low shout, and his aura as a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage suddenly erupted.

She slowly rose into the air and flew towards Philip's office.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Sensing his sister's violent aura, Ba Te Zhenren rushed over.

The cultivators and True Immortals inside the stronghold also looked at Vanka with surprise and suspicion.

In everyone's impression, Vanka has always been proper, generous, and well-mannered, and always friendly to everyone. Why is she so angry now? What did this newcomer, Philip, do?

However, some observant people had already guessed that this was related to Li Bai being driven out of the stronghold to explore for minerals during the day.

At that moment, Philip was enjoying the personal services of his female secretary in his office when he sensed Vanka's powerful aura. He quickly pulled up his pants and stepped out of his office: "Miss Vanka, what has made you so angry?"

Vanka's beautiful face was now covered in frost, and the temperature in the entire space seemed to plummet: "Do I have to expose everything you've done?"

Seeing Vanka's current aura, with his golden core already fully formed, overflowing with elixir energy, and radiant with rosy light, this is a sign that he is about to enter the Nascent Soul stage.

Fip was secretly alarmed, but still stubbornly said, "Miss Vanka, you'd better not make a mistake. I am the Deputy Consul General, and I naturally have my own considerations when doing things."

Fip had just arrived at the stronghold and was in the process of quickly establishing his prestige, so he did not back down in the face of Vanka's aggressive tactics.

Even if one's own family is discussing a joint social event with the other family.

"very good!"

Vanka made a grasping motion with her jade hand, and Fip felt the ice-type spiritual energy in the surrounding air suddenly increase by dozens of times.

He knew something was wrong and immediately mustered all his magical power to fight against the ice-type spiritual energy in the air.

"Freeze!"

Vanka uttered a single word, and the countless streams of ice-type spiritual energy instantly froze Fei Pu, a True Person at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, into a giant ice pop.

"Go easy on him!"

Philip's protector immediately appeared beside him. He was at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, but he looked at Vanka with great apprehension.

This woman's talent is so fierce that it is incomparable to that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage.

Even if my cultivation level were equal to hers, I would still be no match for her.

"Tell Fip that this Qiyuan Star outpost is my territory!"
