Chapter 841: The Ancestral Courts Pressure
Xiao He had already announced to all the islands that once the bridges were fully connected, it would mark the birth of the first human country. The people would finally have a country of their own. This alone had stirred the emotions of the entire populace. They were building their own country, their own home! What could be more important, what could be more wonderful than that?
When Luo Qingzhu and Mei Gongzi arrived on Crescent Island and finally found Xiao He, they saw that in just a few days, he had already lost some weight and looked rather pale, but his energy was as vibrant as ever.
Xiao He had always been a talented leader, and due to his past as the Peacock Great Demon King, he was also an experienced leader. He had managed Kali City with impeccable order, directing resources and people effortlessly. The challenge of building a whole country from scratch was in fact an opportunity he very much enjoyed, and he was more motivated than ever.
"Take care of your health! Your cultivation is still low, don't overwork yourself," said Luo Qingzhu, her heart aching as she wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Xiao He chuckled. "I'm the prime minister now, so I have to give it my all! That kid Tang San handed this task over to me, so I have to do it well to live up to his trust. Besides, I'm repaying the debt of bringing me back to life."
Luo Qingzhu teased him, "Pft, as if I believe that. Look how happy you are! Is that the face of someone who's laboring hard to pay off a debt?"
Xiao He laughed heartily and said, "That's true. The more I work with humans, the more I realize their innate intelligence and creativity are far beyond the average demon or nymph. Many of them have never done certain tasks before, but as long as they receive a little guidance, they do great, especially when it comes to creating new tools and techniques. We've already developed quite a few skilled workers. Construction speed will only increase. By the way, make sure your side keeps up with the resources. There's plenty of stone in the Kali Mountain Range, so we need to speed up quarrying."
The construction of the human nation couldn't happen without the secret support of Kali City. Now, with the city's leadership fully united, they were offering their support without reservation.
"Let's not talk about that for now. The Ancestral Court sent envoys again. This time, it might be troublesome. We need your help to come up with a solution." She then explained the Ancestral Court's demand that Mei Gongzi marry within three months.
