LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 31 – Social Ethnic Fairy – Royal Power
After exchanging the TNT with the Imperial Seal Jade Tablet, Chen Xiyi revealed a smile underneath the alloy helmet that no one could see.
“Another fairy in hand.”
For these items with historical legacy, as long as he spiritualizes them into fairies before being exposed as a fraud by Chen Xiyi, it doesn’t matter what happens next. Even if the deception is revealed, it won’t affect the fairies since they have already been spiritualized.
The swords of the former dynasty cannot cut through the officials of the present dynasty.
After chatting with the emperor for a while, following Wang Li’s suggestion, they returned to the mansion to stay for a period of time.
The emperor had no objection to this. He could see that his younger brother had some ulterior motives, but he didn’t care.
Instead, he smiled and asked Wang Li to take good care of their guests and let them experience the prosperity of the capital.
The two left the palace and headed towards the Prince’s mansion, this time not in Chen Xiyi’s alloy carriage but in the royal carriage of the Prince’s mansion.
The speed and comfort were incomparable, even Wang Li felt a bit uncomfortable sitting in it, feeling like something was missing. In the end, he sighed, indicating that it was just a mundane object after all.
As the carriage moved forward, Chen Xiyi suddenly asked, “Whose house is this?”
Wang Li couldn’t help but pause, wondering which house he meant.
He lifted the curtain and took a look, “The Ma Family, a noble family of Zhongding, one of the founding heroes of our dynasty, was granted the title of Duke at that time. However, it has been hereditary to this day, reduced to the position of a third-grade General Wei. In recent years, the family has declined after reaching its peak.”
“As for the people nowadays, they rely solely on the protection and blessings of their ancestors to maintain their current lifestyle. From what I know, they haven’t even produced a single scholar in years. Instead, they indulge in eating, drinking, gambling, and frivolous pleasures. Their vast family estate is almost at the point of insolvency. Recently, there were even rumors about the matriarch of the household lending money at high interest rates and engaging in heavy exploitation, though I don’t know if those are true.”
“Only His Majesty’s nostalgia prevents further investigation.”
Wang Li spoke, ending with a hint of sarcasm. In the grand Duke’s residence, only the head of the family held the hereditary position and a nominal post, spending his days chatting with the literati without any real accomplishments.
“So you mean this house is just an empty shell?” Chen Xiyi asked in response.
But Wang Li shook his head when he heard this. “This sinking ship still has its three-pound nails, let alone the hereditary Duke of the Ma Family.”
“If it were an ordinary noble family, how could they occupy such a large street? The Ma Family has connections with literati, military officers, and even wealthy families.”
“Even though they have declined, they still have a vast network of relationships. Even I, the Prince, wouldn’t dare to easily provoke them.”
Listening to Wang Li’s explanation, Chen Xiyi found it particularly interesting.
But interesting or not, if the Ma Family possessed an item with historical legacy, he couldn’t let it slip away.
“Then let’s leave it for another day,” Chen Xiyi said, leaving Wang Li somewhat puzzled.
“What does Immortal mean by that? Could it be that there is something in the Duke’s residence that Immortal is interested in?” Wang Li hurriedly asked.
“Perhaps something left behind by an old acquaintance.”
These words from Chen Xiyi made Wang Li ponder for a moment.
“If that’s the case, let me take care of it. It’s just an item. For the Duke’s residence, they will surely offer it willingly.” Wang Li naturally wanted to show his worth.
“That’s fine, I’ll trouble you with this. I will definitely reward you generously.” Chen Xiyi naturally expressed that you have a sharp eye, and I will give you some hardship reward when the time comes.
After passing the Duke’s Mansion, the carriage drove for nearly half an hour before finally arriving at Prince Zhuang’s Mansion.
After rejecting Wang Liji’s banquet to rest, being arranged by the other party in a side room, Chen Xiyi couldn’t wait to enter his own home, ready to transform the Seal Jade Tablet into a fairy by spiritualizing it.
【You used the skill ‘Spiritualize’ on the Seal Jade Tablet】
【The spiritual awakening of the Seal Jade Tablet is at 1%】
【You obtained the country guardian fairy: King’s Authority】
【Country Guardian Fairy: King’s Authority】
【Satiety: 100/100】
【Ability 1: Heavenly Might】
【Ability 2: Public Opinion】
【Ability 3: Myriad Territories】
After the fairy took shape, it transformed into a black dragon perched on a coral reef, with white dragon whiskers swaying with the waves.
Whether it’s the name, abilities, or appearance, are all very domineering. Apart from the fact that this scene is contained in a palm-sized basin and can only be viewed and not moved, Chen Xiyi is very satisfied.
Yes, this country guardian fairy: King’s Authority is different from the River Fairy Jianghu. This King’s Authority is a miniature landscape. Even its abilities are passive in nature, and these passive abilities are also of the auxiliary type.
But it has to be said that the combination of these three abilities is really powerful.
King’s Authority allows Chen Xiyi’s map to further explore the information of NPCs. Previously, Chen Xiyi could only see names, health values, and status. Now, when clicked, he can also see what abilities they have and a brief overview of their recent activities over the past month.
And Public Opinion is even stronger, turning all events related to Chen Xiyi into game logs. Previously, only friends could do this, but now, if someone talks bad about him behind his back, tries to scheme against him, or someone praises him to pull friends, it will also show up.
It will form logs such as [Discussed you, , affinity +1], and even [Conspiring to target you, , animosity +1], and so on.
As for the final Myriad Territories function, it’s very simple – it turns the mini-map into a world map.
The previous mini-map could only reflect a certain range of the surroundings, but now it has become a scalable and expandable world map where the entire world can be seen.
“It’s a pity that such a cool fairy is just a miniature landscape.”
After transforming the Seal Jade Tablet into a miniature landscape, Chen Xiyi placed King’s Authority inside. Despite the dragon looking beautiful, the basin underneath is the essence. The black dragon is probably just equivalent to a person’s hair.
【King’s Authority is very satisfied with his miniature landscape and is very happy with your praise】
“Alright, as long as you’re happy, then I’ll have to trouble you to watch over the house later. I’ll make you some food, but unfortunately, you can’t move, nor go out with me.”
【King’s Authority expresses that he doesn’t want to go out and just wants to stay at home to watch over you, he likes peace】
“Alright then, you can have these three sticks of peace incense for now, I’ll come back tomorrow to replenish you.”
As King’s Authority is a miniature landscape, he naturally can’t eat jelly ice cream. What he eats is the smell of fireworks, such as joss paper, candles, and other scents released after burning.
And this peace incense is one of these scents.
【Peace Incense (Fairy Food)】
【Satiety +100】
【Fairy growth +1】
【Fairy mood +1】
