Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 580: Chapter 579: Are You Interested in Becoming an Emperor_1
 

“Whoosh.”

In a blink of an eye, a flock of birds flew out from the forest and circled a few times above the passenger boat before dispersing in different directions.

“Master, the rumor of a Heaven-descended Goddess is now widespread among the common folk, who are all talking about it with great interest,” said Little Kingfisher, who enjoyed discussing the topic. In a short while, it flew back from the forest and landed on the window ledge, elegantly combing its feathers.

Lin Qingluo didn’t care much: “The common people have nothing better to do, chatting and gossiping for amusement.”

“Maybe they really want to restore the glory of the Fengqi Empire from a thousand years ago?” Little Kingfisher was still excited, its gossip fire burning intensely.

“Just wishful thinking,” Lin Qingluo dismissed with a sigh. “If a war really breaks out, with all its chaos and displacement, they’ll be the ones to weep.”

“Master, have you ever thought about becoming an emperor?” Little Kingfisher’s gossip fire grew stronger: “As the Ferryman said, overthrow the tyranny of the Empress and simply become the monarch yourself, so you won’t have to tolerate her attitude all the time.”

“No way.” Lin Qingluo poured cold water on the idea without hesitation: “That’s not the life I want.”

“If it weren’t for the deep ties to my family, I’d really want to do just as I did in my previous life: leave all my troubles behind, find a spiritually rich abode, hide from the world, cultivate wholeheartedly, and strive to ascend back to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible to fight the Demon Race again.”

“Master, you’ve just been reincarnated, it will take at least ten thousand years to achieve success and ascend to the Immortal Realm,” Little Kingfisher said with amusement, its eyes rolling as it started a new train of thought. “There’s no Demon Race in the Human Realm for you to act against, so you won’t have a chance for revenge within ten thousand years. Why not stay here and focus on expanding your territory? At least, don’t throw away your reputation as the God of War.”

“I’d pass on expanding territories, but defending our homeland is acceptable,” Lin Qingluo lost her train of thought, thanks to the gossipy creature. She rubbed her temples helplessly and put down the medicinal plants she was holding. She playfully poked Little Kingfisher’s fluffy little head and said: “Don’t worry about it, just have the birds keep an eye on Beiming and tell me if Xia Yan makes any further moves.”

“Alright, I’ll go gather information right away.” Little Kingfisher found something useful to do, extinguishing its gossip fire instantly and flying away with a flutter of its wings.

“Sigh, what on earth is this little guy thinking? You’d think it wants to stir up trouble in the world,” Lin Qingluo grinned as she watched Little Kingfisher fly away. She stretched lazily, shook her sore neck, then lowered her head and continued studying the properties of medicinal plants and formulating new remedies.

The passenger boat followed the waves downstream.

Three days later, they left the Qilian Mountains’ high and steep range, entering the wide and tranquil river channel of the basin. Continuing south for two more days, they arrived in the territory of Xiangzhou.

“Young masters, up ahead is Xiangzhou City. If you want to go to the coast, you should rent a horse-drawn carriage or ride a horse from Xiangzhou. There’s no water route there,” the Ferryman, who had been on the boat for five days, wiped his sunburnt face and grinned.

“Finally here.” The young men on the boat couldn’t stand it any longer, and seeing the flat, open land, their spirits lifted. They all came running out of their cabins and yelled at the top of their lungs from both ends of the boat.

“There’s a secret line of the Duke of Zhen in Xiangzhou, and my father has already made contact,” Lin Qingluo came down from her cabin, smilingly handed a silver Token to Wang Meng, and whispered her request.
