Since Tang Feng accepted the conferment from the Nine-tailed Divine Country, his actions did not attract the attention of the Divine Country.

Anyway, it doesn't matter how you fight privately.

In the end, the Nine-tailed Divine Country still benefits.

No matter how they fight, it's all internal strife.

And whoever wins, they all have to hand over resources to the Nine-tailed Divine Country.

If they don't, then there's no need for them to exist. Once the Divine Country's machinery operates, who can withstand it?

Even big cities must submit obediently.

Of course, the current Divine Country is not monolithic. Various factions stand in the court.

This area of Tang Feng belongs to the territory managed by General Luo Shuang.

It doesn't mean the territory is hers alone; she is just in charge of the management.

At this moment, in her General Mansion, her subordinates were reporting the situation in Tang City.

"Oh, that newly appointed Marquis Tang is quite ambitious."

"General, you're right. His current forces are almost catching up with ours."

"A small Tang City can actually support so many Divine Soldiers. I'm really curious, how did he do it?" Luo Shuang's beautiful eyes sparkled.

"This is the information we've gathered. That guy indeed has his methods. It's unbelievable that the city residents under his governance willingly provide him with taxes, yet he hasn't handed over even a bit to us."

"Ziyan, you take a trip and handle this matter."

"Okay."

"What if we can't retrieve the resources, General?"

"No worries, first go and see the situation there. If his strength is truly so formidable, so be it. The stronger he is, the more the Divine Country will naturally keep an eye on him, leaving us worry-free." Luo Shuang smiled.

"Understood, I'll head there now."

"Bring some gifts. After all, we're guests."

"Okay, but what should I bring?"

"You can handle this yourself."

"Understood."

Luo Shuang nodded, then listened to reports from other city states.

A regional general isn't that idle.

If not for some authority and the ability to gain some resources, no one would willingly overwork themselves.

In summary, the benefits still prevail.

After all, it's been a long time since we've experienced war.

Stability is the current priority.

Unless a resource-rich stellar system emerges, it's challenging to start a conflict again.

After receiving the order, Yun Ziyan brought some small gifts and headed to Tang City.

Departing from the Divine General Mansion, it took just a few days, after all, they used a medium-level starship, much faster than other starships.

On the night of the fifth day, the starship landed in the parking area of Tang City. A position had been specially left for the starship due to previous notification by Tang Feng.

After viewing the bird's-eye night view of Tang City, Yun Ziyan marveled again.

Aside from being a bit larger, the Divine General Mansion couldn't compare with Tang Feng's.

Stepping out of the starship, Yun Ziyan saw various merchant groups disembarking, followed by batches of cultivators. Many starships bore the merchant group logos.

Needless to say, they came here for business.

So many merchant groups, is business really that easy to conduct here?

Yun Ziyan felt a bit puzzled.

"May I ask if you are the General?"

"I am."

"Please get in the car. Our City Lord is already waiting for you at Tang's Restaurant."

Seeing the strangely shaped car, she still got in.

The interior was very spacious, comfortable to sit in, and the environment was very clean with a fresh scent.

Yun Ziyan comfortably closed her eyes and only started observing the streets after entering the city.

The shops on both sides were bustling, with the entire street as bright as day. The pedestrians had relaxed expressions, smiling faces, full of vitality.

So perfect.

It's her first time seeing a city like this, and she was truly amazed.

She could claim that no city in the Divine Country compares to Tang City.

Everything appeared orderly, with not even the City Guard Patrol Team in sight.

What does this indicate? A very high safety index.

From what she understands, there aren't significant resources or relics around Tang City, so why is it so prosperous?

What exactly is supporting its development?

Many questions, but the person who received her said nothing more.

The vehicle entered a hundred-story high building.

Getting off, Yun Ziyan saw Tang Feng standing at the entrance.

So she walked over, "Greetings, Lord Marquis."

"General Yun, thank you for your hard work. Please!" Tang Feng led Yun Ziyan into the hotel.

Upon seeing the splendid decorations, Yun Ziyan clicked her tongue in surprise, what magnificence, even better looking than the General Mansion.

Yun Ziyan secretly admired.

She is a woman, fond of beautiful things, and this hotel exudes exceptional charm everywhere, making it feel very high-end.

Perfect for entertaining guests.

She paid close attention, her several attendants also looked dazzled.

Upon entering the private room, the table was filled with wine and dishes.

"Please, have a seat."

"Marquis Tang, there's no need to be so courteous."

"Just a simple welcoming feast, I hope you don't mind." Tang Feng said.

"Marquis Tang, you're too kind. This is the first time I've experienced such a welcoming feast in my life."

"I'm glad you like it." Tang Feng had them sit down and poured the Divine Fruit Brew.

"We don't drink alcohol."

"It's not alcohol, it's fruit brew, produced by my family, now it's selling well across the Hundred Cities, supply exceeds demand." Tang Feng said, holding up his glass.

Hearing this, Yun Ziyan naturally wanted to try it, so she picked up her glass, "Then I'll toast to the Marquis."

"Cheers." Tang Feng gently clinked his glass. This gesture made Yun Ziyan feel fresh again. The two ate and chatted. As for the followers, they didn't dare be too presumptuous, eating quietly on the side, but not too much.

After tasting a little, they exited the room, knowing the next step would be a business discussion, so they sensibly moved to the door, not daring to leave.

"General Yun, I wonder what guidance you have for this visit."

Yun Ziyan looked at Tang Feng for a while before smiling, "Marquis, why the rush?"

"Eh, how am I rushing? If you don't want to talk, I won't force you." Tang Feng smiled.

"Alright, since the Marquis wants to know, I won't hide it. This time, I've come for the tax. Marquis, you haven't paid for two years." Yun Ziyan said.

"Tax! Sorry, I'm really unaware of this matter, and my city is in development, I'm short of funds myself, let alone having extra for taxes."

"So, is the Marquis planning to default?"

"Not really, let's defer it for now." At present, Tang Feng really didn't have it, and even if he did, he wouldn't give it.

He's currently investing all his money into the captured cities, very poor.

"Then how about writing an IOU?" Yun Ziyan was secretly pleased, suggesting.

"No need, I can remember it."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ziyan's smile vanished.

Indeed, the man before her wouldn't be so easy to manipulate; she dared not let her guard down, opting for indirect probing.

Unfortunately, Tang Feng's mouth was too tight. By the end of the banquet, she hadn't gleaned any useful information.

She was then arranged to stay at the hotel.

Residing on a high floor, with a sweeping view, the entire alluring city was captivating.

"Let's take a walk." Yun Ziyan, seeing the bustling streets and traffic, couldn't resist.
