I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

Everyone instinctively looked up and saw an enormous whale swimming out of the clouds. With a slight movement, it was right in front of them.

"My God? A whale? A flying whale?!"

"It's so big, it must be at least 100 meters long! This, this is a mount???"

"So enormous, so imposing, this must be at least an epic-level mount!"

"No! This mount should be mythical. Epic mounts have size restrictions, but mythical mounts do not."

"This whale is huge, like a mobile fortress, it's terrifying..."

Everyone was shocked to see this.

But when Lu Yun saw the whale, his eyes lit up.

"That's really good, it's over 100 meters long, about half the size of my starlight."

"Lu Yun?!"

As the whale hovered in mid-air, a surprised voice suddenly rang out from above.

Lu Yun looked up and saw a figure leaping off the whale and rushing towards him.

Seeing this, Lu Yun laughed and caught Xu Qingmeng with open arms.

Her face was flushed red; she had been missing him for so long that she didn't care who was around.

The main problem was that Lu Yun's use of the word "husband" during that phone call almost burned out Xu Qingmeng's CPU.

Seeing her again now, she naturally couldn't hold back her emotions.

"I am coming."

Lu Yun spun her around to relieve the force of her fall, then put her on the ground, hugged her, and smiled gently.

"Great, you look even more beautiful than before."

Xu Qingmeng blushed even more and quickly looked away shyly, pouting coquettishly.

"You're just talking nonsense..."

Lu Yun couldn't resist for a moment, and with a look of affection in his eyes, he gently pinched her little nose.

"I'm not making this up. Qingmeng is the most beautiful girl in the world."

"Hey, stop messing around... there are so many people here..."

Xu Qingmeng, unable to contain her shyness, whispered a reproachful rebuke and quickly swatted away Lu Yun's large hand.

Seeing this, Lu Yun couldn't help but chuckle, but she was right. There were quite a lot of people now, and the people on the whale had also come down, looking at her with mocking expressions.

"Haha, okay, enough joking around, let's get to work."

Lu Yun released Xu Qingmeng, but still held her waist. He looked at Zhao Qing, Qi Sheng and the others and smiled.

"This is my city. If you come to help, I will reward you, and after it is completed, I will also grant you positions and authority."

"Would you be willing?"

With the intelligence network of the ten major families, they knew exactly what Lu Yun was doing, but hearing him say it in person still left them in awe.

We're all freshmen of the same year, and while I'm still struggling to reach the fourth job advancement, they've already started building their cities. It's really unfair how people compare.

Moreover, they had always wanted to help Lu Yun, but Lu Yun was too strong and they couldn't help him at all. Now that they had the opportunity, they were naturally very willing.

"Of course! You can ask for anything, it's a small matter. I can't speak for other families, but at least our four families are willing."

She had already told her father about Lu Yun's invitation to visit. The Zhao family took it very seriously and had already guessed Lu Yun's purpose in inviting her, so they started making preparations.

"Oh, by the way, the workers, building materials, and engineering equipment are still being prepared and should all be in place in about two hours."

Lu Yun was very satisfied upon hearing this.

"As expected of one of the top ten families, they are indeed efficient."

As he spoke, he pointed to Longya's encampment.

"Then you should go help them first. There are few people on their side, so build the houses according to what they want, and make them as grand as possible."

"Okay, don't worry, we... Holy crap?! Elves???"

"Weren't they in the Elf Forest?! What are they doing building houses here???"

"Wait a minute??? That's... a mermaid??? My God?! This, this? Uh???"

Seemingly having witnessed something extraordinary, Zhao Qing and the others, who were about to continue their "Holy crap" exclamations, froze on the spot, their faces filled with astonishment.

"Holy crap?! What is that thing? A long-armed, long-legged salted fish? A colorful rooster???"

The elves were fine, they had all seen them before, but they had never seen mermaids before. They hadn't dared to go with Lu Yun when they went to the Enchanted Tide last time, so naturally they hadn't seen them.

Especially this salted fish, it's practically an inverted version of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

Let alone Zhao Qing and the others.

Even Wen Liangyu, Liu Hanyan, and the others who had just arrived, as well as Mu Caiwei and Mu Qingcheng, couldn't hold back.

Upon seeing the elves, Wen Liangyu and the others managed to maintain their smiles, though their eyes lit up.

When they saw the mermaid, Wen Liangyu and the others still maintained their smiles, but their eyes were full of shock.

Upon seeing Xianyu and Xiaocai, Wen Liangyu and the others froze, and one of them couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Lu Yun is not a human being; the pets he keeps are truly hard to judge."

This was a comment Wen Liangyu left after observing for a long time, before starting work.

As for Mu Caiwei and Mu Qingcheng, if it weren't for Xu Qingmeng being there, the two of them would have given Lu Yun a good beating.

Even so, before going to supervise the work with a cold face, she still kicked Lu Yun without caring about her image.

"Your taste is truly hard to judge!"

Lu Yun was also innocent in this matter.

The support from the Zhao, Qi, Zhou, and Zhang families arrived very quickly, right after the support from the six major families of the Northern Region.

Wen Liangyu was responsible for overall planning, coordinating workers, materials, and construction vehicles, and controlling the progress.

Mu Caiwei and Mu Qingcheng were in charge of supervising the construction, running around to four different locations to help manage the details.

Xu Qingmeng was responsible for serving Lu Yun.

Lu Yun lay on the armchair, being served.

As for Qin Wushuang and the others, they had all gone to carry logs and work as oxen and horses.

In the end, it was the cattle and horses who bore the brunt of everything, and I secretly realized that I was the clown myself.

that's it.

Everything was proceeding smoothly and quickly. Lu Yun would occasionally marvel at how wonderful the world was, that the city could actually build houses on its own. Qi Zhaolin, who was standing next to him, would turn pale upon hearing this.

however.

On the other side.

The leaders of more than ten countries, including Tajikistan, Flower Country, Vegetable Country, and Heng Country, were sitting around the conference table, staring intently at the intelligence about Lu Yun projected on the table.

The first thing that came to mind was his work on building the city.

Although there were no photos and the information was incomplete, this matter did give them a very strong sense of urgency.

"The Dragon Office is really generous; they were actually willing to spend a lot of money to find him a City Lord's Token."

"Jiancheng, a mere newcomer, has already become the city lord in just over half a year. Such a rapid development is indeed a major threat."

"Let's not talk about that for now. According to the latest intelligence, Lu Yun's plan to build a city should be a prerequisite for the Long Office's plan. Although we are still unsure what the Long Office is planning, we must not let them succeed."

"That's right, neither the Dragon Office's plan nor this Lu Yun can be allowed to succeed!"

"Damn it, since monsters will be attacking the city when it's almost finished building anyway, let's just join the monsters and attack!"

Upon hearing this, the Tajik official immediately spoke up.

"That's what we mean too. Since we've already crossed the line, there's no need to hide anything anymore."

"Besides, the world's will allows it, so joining the monster camp isn't breaking the rules. When the time comes, we'll all have a batch of Radiant Realm experts, and I refuse to believe we can't take down a mere Lu Yun!"

The person in charge of the Flower Kingdom hesitated for a moment.

"Lu Yun holds a very high position in the Dragon Kingdom. Will they send powerful experts to help him defend the city beforehand?"

"Won't."

The Tajik official spoke without hesitation.

"The operating model of the Dragon Kingdom is different from ours, especially their official departments. They have regulations that prohibit people from leaving the camp at will. If you want to leave, you must apply first, and the process takes at least one or two months."

"Moreover, their responsibility is to protect the country, not individuals, so those people will not take action."

"Furthermore, Lu Yun is Qi Huanyu's disciple. They are intentionally grooming him, not constantly protecting him. So, as long as we act quickly, killing Lu Yun will be a piece of cake!"

Upon hearing this, the others' eyes lit up, and they all stood up and spoke.

"Very well! Gentlemen... let's prepare!"
