I just covet their strength

Chapter 199 Are the Bright People such inconvenient things?

“This style.”

Luyetan took a closer look and said:

"It looks a bit like a product of the Sky Kingdom. Is Lord Qinghui still connected to the Sky Kingdom?"

"If I contact you, I don't know if I can say yes. Anyway, please help me try. If it doesn't work, forget it."

Westhead wants to connect with the Sky Kingdom, whose advanced technology really makes the country lords jealous.

In addition, Westhead also wanted to explore some information about the [Lord of Absolute Extinction]. Since it is known that the [Lord of Absolute Extinction] is related to the [Lord of the Blue Sky], appropriate exploration is necessary in order to deal with the relationship with the great devil in the future.

"Of course, it's a piece of cake, but whether the Sky Clan will agree is not something I can control."

Luyetan nodded in agreement.

After the main business was settled, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. The key was that Westhead would not give Luyetan the opportunity to tease him again, which made Leshia feel much more comfortable.

Because the silver-haired princess is the pure white daughter of Lord Qinghui, and she cannot bear to see the latter suffer any injustice.

And "having to bow to Yuanxi Palace because of poverty" is obviously a great shame and humiliation.

Although Westhead himself didn't mind, a real man should be able to bend and stretch himself when a beautiful rich girl used her money and beauty to insult him.

After tea time, Westhead invited Luyetan to take a walk around the Ying River.

"As an investor and supporter of Qinghui Territory, why don't Yuanxi Palace also take a look at the reconstruction work of our territory? This is also directly related to our ability to repay the loan later."

"If Lord Qinghui can really help my family get rid of the shackles of the demon, then the debt will naturally be cleared."

Although Luyetan said so, at Westhead's invitation, she still put on a wide-brimmed hat and held up a parasol to go out together. Leixia did not follow him because she really didn't want to talk to Yuanxigong anymore.

The holiday granted by Westhead has come to an end. In fact, after the first three days, the Bright People have resumed work and are enthusiastically welcoming a new life.

When walking on the riverside street, passers-by along the way greeted Westhead and his group enthusiastically.

"Good day, sir."

"Your Majesty! You are very heroic today as well."

"Master Westhead is as alert as usual."

There were even cute little kids who ran up, took a look at Luyetan, and said innocently:

"Master, this big sister I haven't seen is also your girlfriend? How many girlfriends do you have?"

"Oh, kid, how can you talk like that? What do you mean by several girlfriends? They are all my wings!"

Luyetan looked at Westhead interacting with the people and couldn't help but sigh:

"Lord Qinghui really cares for his subjects."

Westhead turned his head and raised an eyebrow: "Hmm? Shouldn't I be loved by my people in this situation?"

Luyetan tilted her head slightly and held her cheek with one hand: "It's not difficult to be loved. It can be achieved with a little favor and a little pressure. But to gain such a kind and sincere feeling, it takes some effort. I thought you wouldn't do something unnecessary. You pretended quite seriously."

The imperial nobles have no concept of such things as popular will. If they govern their territories according to the laws of prosperity, the lives of the common people will not be too bad. Even if people are living in misery, they will never have the courage to rebel against their lords.

The support of the people is really a chicken rib to the nobles. There is no such thing as "he who wins the hearts of the people will win the world" in this world.

Westhead smiled slightly: "I really don't do unnecessary things. As for why I do this, guess what?"

Then he put his hands behind his back without explaining, causing Luyetan to grit his teeth unconsciously.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. Due to the influence of the [Circle of Clear Sky] spell, the night sky was extremely clear, and the gorgeous starlight was shining, reflecting the lights of thousands of houses along the Ying River. Although most of Qinghui Territory had become a barren land with no grass, if you only look at Ying River, it has been built in the past year and is considered a prosperous city. Not only does it have a cold workshop area, but it also has all the necessary supporting entertainment facilities.

Westhead pointed proudly at the night view of the town:

"My plan is to have at least one hundred towns of this size in the entire Qinghui Territory in the next three to five years. Each town will have a population of at least one million. We will connect them together and make them one of the most dazzling areas in the world!"

"This is not an easy task. Even if you really get the technical support of the Sky People and can build a city on flat ground and transform the environment, where will the population come from? It will take several generations for the Bright People to restore their past population numbers."

Luyetan poured cold water on him without hesitation, saying:

"Or do you not intend to keep the Bright People as a minority? This will surprise our allies."

Every holy place has a group of people who have been influenced and passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. They are the clans of the [Branch of Prosperity]. Only these people are the basic base of trust of the [Branch of Prosperity].

To put it bluntly, [The Branch of Prosperity] is still an independent kingdom, and is quite sensitive on racial issues, because the Bright People are not a nation united by narratives, but they really have the blood of the Bright People flowing in them to a greater or lesser extent.

"Of course not."

Westhead shook his head upon hearing this and said:
"But I don't think the Bright People are such an inconvenient thing."

Westhead has already come up with a good idea on how to increase the number of the Bright People quickly, efficiently and economically.

As everyone knows, the Bright People refer to a special race with clear blood. This is an ethnic group that was naturally formed due to living in the Bright Forest for a long time. The difference between them and ordinary humans lies in the influence of that little bit of Holy Spirit blood.

In this case, why not just grant blood to outsiders? This is completely feasible in practice!

However, this idea is really shocking. Even though Westhead has broken many ancestral laws and even defeated his ancestors, it is not easy to put it into practice directly.

When it comes to blood modification, it can easily be labeled as a forbidden experiment. Using [Qinghui Xianshi] to create a new path is already the limit. If you are bolder, it may alarm the countries of order.

So there is no need to rush for now. Just gather the refugees and wait for the opportunity.

Luyetan: "Lord Qinghui has been keeping me in suspense, so I won't be here for long. I plan to leave tomorrow."

Westhead did not try to persuade him to stay, but just said:
"There's one last dance tonight, so it's not too late to take a night off before leaving."

"Ah, that's good too."

So they returned to the mansion.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Westhead saw the cute big loli with flaxen hair standing on a chair, stuffing her cheeks with desserts, like a big hamster.

After hesitating for a moment, Westhead approached cautiously and said:

"Chamuel?"

"!!!"

The other person jumped up suddenly when she heard the sound, turned around mechanically and squeezed the corner of her skirt.

"Lord Qingqinghui, I have something else to do. I'll leave first!"

The little girl in the Gothic dress couldn't even pronounce her words clearly. As soon as her eyes rested on Westhead, she immediately looked away, lowered her head, and left in a panic.

Luyetan looked at Chamuel's fleeing back with interest and said:
"She is the granddaughter of Lord Shadow Flame? What a lovely girl! Why is she so afraid of you?"

"Alas, it's my fault."

Westhead blamed himself and explained the reason to Yuanxi Palace.
