Gao Wu: My freshman internship was a battle on the front lines.

Late at night.

Kyoto was brightly lit.

The Great Xia Dynasty has now completely stabilized, and order in all prefectures and cities has been restored to normal.

It's in the Northeast Prefecture.

The city walls and houses that were once destroyed by war are being rebuilt at an astonishing speed.

Countless people can finally get a good night's sleep.

This was thanks to Ye Feng raiding the homes of countless martial arts families and unscrupulous business conglomerates.

The Great Xia Dynasty's finances are now more than sufficient.

There are trillions of yuan sitting directly on the books.

With a stroke of his pen, Zhao Gongming, the Grand Secretary, initiated a massive infrastructure project with a budget of 15 trillion yuan.

All the city walls and military equipment of the eight prefectures and two capitals were completely renovated.

The welfare benefits for all frontline combat personnel will be increased by 30%.

This initiative of providing work relief and raising wages directly pulled the Great Xia Dynasty out of the chaos and turmoil.

Heading straight towards rapid development, Daxia is now thriving.

"This is a classic case of 'When Heshen falls, Jiaqing reaps the rewards!'"

Ye Feng stood in front of the observation window of the god-class warship, looking at the myriad lights below, and his heart calmed down for the first time.

Just then, he felt something moving in his arms.

The little white cat had been quiet ever since he picked it up; it did nothing but eat and sleep.

It would occasionally perch on his shoulder and space out, never before had it been so restless.

It nestled in his arms, as if hesitating about something, or perhaps making its final mental preparations.

Ye Feng looked down at the snow-white thing in his arms and smiled slightly.

"This little guy finally couldn't hold back anymore."

He had long suspected that something was wrong with the little white cat, but he had been pretending not to know.

Don't you think about it? How could an ordinary kitten possibly appear deep in the southern mountains?

How could I possibly be chased by a black tiger at the level of a martial god?

How could she possibly be able to lie unharmed on his shoulder and doze off after he had killed all those strange beasts?

There are too many mysteries surrounding this little guy, so many that he can't pretend he doesn't see them.

The little white kitten jumped out of his arms and landed on the alloy floor in front of the viewing window.

Its body trembled slightly, and then suddenly burst forth with a blinding white light.

The white light expanded rapidly inside the cabin, illuminating the entire ship's cabin as if it were daytime.

After the light faded, the little white cat was gone, replaced by a slender, graceful figure.

That's a woman.

She looks to be around 27 or 28 years old, tall and with perfect curves.

She was wearing a white dress, the hem of which gently reached her ankles.

Her skin was fair, her features were so exquisite they looked like they had been painted, and her brows exuded an innate nobility and majesty.

What's most striking about her are her eyes.

Those were eyes of an unusual color, unlike any human eye; they were a pure blue, like the sky, the sea, or a lake high in the mountains.

Her hair was silver-white, shimmering with a faint silver-white sheen under the cabin lights.

Shunhua's long hair reached her waist, swaying slightly with her breathing.

"Interesting, the little white cat has grown into a beautiful woman." Ye Feng couldn't help but say, his tone slightly teasing.

"She's a beast-eared girl."

The woman looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then bowed slightly in a gesture of respect.

Her movements were elegant, each one carrying an innate nobility.

"The White Tiger Queen of the Beast King's Court greets the Supreme Human King of Great Xia."

Her voice was clear and cool, like a mountain stream flowing over stones, crisp and melodious.

But there was also an undeniable weakness about him.

Her injuries have clearly not fully healed yet.

Ye Feng leaned against the window, arms crossed, watching her with great interest.

"White Tiger Queen? Then when you turned into a little white kitten and perched on my shoulder, was that intentional or forced?"

"Forced," the White Tiger Queen said with a hint of helplessness.

"An invincible expert from the Black Tiger Clan ambushed me, and I was severely injured, forcing me to flee."

"When you saved me, I was seriously injured. I couldn't explain myself then, so I could only follow you."

Ye Feng nodded, not pressing for details, and gestured for her to continue.

The White Tiger Queen hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering her words, but ultimately told the truth.

"The Beast King's Court is probably now under the control of the Black Tiger Clan."

"I was originally the empress of the White Tiger Royal Court, ruling the White Tiger clan. The Black Tiger King of the Black Tiger clan ambushed me when I broke through to the Divine Realm, causing me to be severely injured and lose all my cultivation. Most of my clansmen were also killed or wounded."

"It seems that the Black Tiger Royal Court has now absorbed most of the White Tiger Royal Court's power."

"That Black Tiger King is ambitious and will probably join forces with the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird royal courts in an attempt to consolidate the power of the entire Beast Royal Court."

"Integrate the power of the Beast King's Court? What are they going to do?" Ye Feng asked.

"It's unclear at the moment. But the Black Tiger King's entire family was killed by humans when he was young. I suspect it will lead the entire Beast King's Court into a full-scale war against humans."

"When I was in charge of the royal court, the Machine Race had already sent envoys to the Beast King's Court many times, making many promises. They promised to provide the Beast King's Court with resources, territory, and the protection of the Machine Race's Great Dao."

The White Tiger Queen's tone became serious as she spoke.

"Currently, the Beast King's Court has a full fifty or sixty Martial God-level beasts, as well as three Invincible Realm beasts."

"If the Beast King's Court really joins the Mechanical Race Alliance, Great Xia will have to face a combined offensive from the Mechanical Race, the Heavenly Demon Race, the remnants of the Blood Race, and the entire Beast King's Court."

"The Great Xia Dynasty has only recently stabilized after a major war, and I'm afraid it can't withstand this kind of pressure."

Ye Feng's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he still did not express his opinion.

"I hope the King of Great Xia can help my White Tiger lineage regain control of the Beast King's Court."

The White Tiger Queen's voice was soft; she knew she was asking a human supreme being for help in dealing with the alien beasts, a request that sounded absurd.

Ye Feng smiled, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

"What good would this do me? Even if you don't tell me, I'm prepared to personally go to the deep mountains in the south and kill all the strange beasts there."

"Before the great battle, the alien beasts are the biggest uncertainty. You want me to help you reclaim the royal court? Wouldn't it be easier for me to just wipe them all out?"

"You know my capabilities! You know I'm not exaggerating."

The White Tiger Queen remained silent.

She knew Ye Feng was telling the truth.

With his combat power and the divine warship, even though the Beast King's Court was strong, it couldn't stop him.

They would probably be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

The Great Xia King before me is terrifying.

Even the invincible vampire with two billion Great Dao blessings was still killed by him with a single strike.

That was assuming Ye Feng was a half-step Martial God.

Ye Feng has now become a martial god.

It's likely that even a martial god blessed by the Great Dao couldn't withstand a single, simple strike from him.

It can be said that it can be destroyed with a wave of the hand.

"I can be your contracted beast." The White Tiger Queen's voice remained cold, but carried a hint of barely concealed tremor.
