Some things aren't clear to many people until they're spoken about.
But after learning about Zhao Guang's development in this world, Ye Zhi understood the purpose of Zhao Guang's past actions. For example, the strange company managed by Zhao Yan that initially dealt with everything.
Various grains, oils, and other materials were brought in, all for this matter.
And then there's the equipment arena, which originally contained real weapons.
Initially, they indeed didn't know what was going on, and various analyses concluded that it was just a unique hobby. Although there were some guesses later, there was never any evidence.
Besides, by that time Zhao Guang was no longer an ordinary person, not someone easily controlled.
"We should tell mom and dad about this," Ye Zhi said, referring to Zhao Guang's parents.
Although there wasn't a wedding or anything like that, the family had long accepted it, so calling them this way wasn't an issue.
Zhao Guang nodded: "We should tell them now. Previously, I didn't know how to explain, and some things were hard to disclose. But now there's no danger in doing so."
By bringing the parents here, Zhao Guang can focus on enhancing their abilities.
Zhao Guang didn't want to watch helplessly as they reach the end of their lifespan in a hundred years. On the contrary, Zhao Guang wanted to use his ability to keep them alive indefinitely, potentially even reaching the Demigod level in the future.
At this level, lifespan becomes unlimited, and the idea of having lived long enough doesn't occur.
"Hmph, you can be proud. When mom and dad see all these women of yours, they'll definitely be pleased."
Indeed, parents hope for a prosperous family line.
Despite laws and other issues prohibiting many things, when the situation changes, most people's perceptions change accordingly. Ye Zhi wasn't wrong in her thoughts.
"Alright, I know I owe you something, but sometimes it just is what it is."
Ye Zhi couldn't help it; compared to many here, she was the one who arrived late.
Meanwhile, the people of the Xuanwu Empire began to celebrate wildly.
Indeed, celebration ensued, not organized by Zhao Guang, but as a spontaneous action. Many places turned into sleepless cities, with people celebrating through the night.
The reason was simple: Zhao Guang had announced the matter of Ye Zhi.
All along, their Empire didn't have a Queen, but now they do.
"To His Majesty the King, to the Queen, may both enjoy good health." A group raised their cups, with immense joy on their faces.
Someone nearby was puzzled: "What's up with them, do they have some relation to the King?"
"They wish," the tavern owner scoffed: "You two must be from another country."
The two exchanged glances and nodded, as their features made it obvious.
"I could tell at a glance that you two were from elsewhere; otherwise, you'd be like us. Our Majesty is incredibly impressive, and the life we're living now is all thanks to His Majesty."
The two looked around and nodded; Xuanwu Empire was indeed very different now.
Not just compared to countries on the Borick Continent, but also similar to nations on the Delan Continent.
Here, many common folk lived almost like those minor nobles. No, perhaps even better, given the many public facilities that minor nobles elsewhere couldn't enjoy.
Moreover, the situation is continually progressing, with citizens' income and living standards steadily rising.
In many places, slogans have spread, claiming that a noble title isn't worth exchanging for.
This holds true, as after opening borders to refugees initially, the population here gradually increased. Nowadays, various countries are closing their borders again, unable to stop losing their citizens.
Who doesn't want a better life? But without citizens, who would they govern?
Truth be told, if not for their special status, both would consider residing here permanently.
The tavern owner, wiping a cup, said, "Our country is rich but has one issue: our Majesty lacks an heir. Although His Majesty is young and a demigod, but..."
The owner didn't finish, but everyone understood the situation.
As a leader, not having an heir makes common folks feel uneasy.
Luckily, the King is still young, and it's not like there are no women around him.
It's said that the Elf woman is already expecting, but a Half-Elf, in terms of bloodline, is different from them in the end. While this country comprises various races, the Human Race forms the majority.
In the beginning, the people Zhao Guang brought were all of the Human Race.
"Now it's different, His Majesty just announced that we have a Queen now, and she's a human Queen. Moreover, in a few months, our Prince will be born."
The owner looked to the sky, eyes filled with hope; a life like this is full of promises.
The two exchanged glances, realizing the high support among the populace.
Looking around, without any organization, people are celebrating spontaneously.
This exceeded typical festivities in other places, being more grandiose. Furthermore, here one frequently sees Humans and Elves drinking together, Beastmen arm-wrestling with the Sea Clan, and even Beastmen and White Wings clasping shoulders.
Bear in mind the historical animosity among the Beastman Empire and the Flying Beast Alliance, leading to deep-seated hatred among these species.
This unusual atmosphere might just be unique to this place.
"Joining our country now is still easy, as our population isn't sufficient yet. I've heard that when our population grows, the door might close again," the owner quietly informed the two, who promptly nodded in understanding.
They're aware of this but cannot join. If they did, what would become of their own business? They came here to assess, planning to introduce a merchant team afterward.
Additionally, they have another task to gather intelligence for their country.
It has now become clear that the Xuanwu Empire shouldn't be provoked, given their strong momentum and the unity of its people. Engaging a nation like this would trouble themselves.
Before long, the two merged into the joyful atmosphere, gradually forgetting their original tasks.
