"Permanent?"
Netizens could guess that the official stance of Great Power Country would not refuse. However, it was possible they would lease the land to Bai Ye for free, giving him usage rights.
But what they never expected was that Great Power Country would directly cede the land to Bai Ye. From then on, the northern part of the map of Great Power Country would no longer belong to them, but might display names like "Some Forest" or "Some Pasture"…
"That's a forest with a diameter of nearly 130 kilometers, an area of over 10,000 square kilometers. Great Power Country has truly made a sacrifice!"
"Oh my god!! It's equivalent to carving out a province from Great Power Country. Such courage, I have to say, is extremely impressive!"
"Brother Ye is now the largest private landowner on Blue Star, isn't he?"
"Be more confident, drop the question mark! And, he's also the richest man in the world!"
"Why does it feel like Great Power Country paid a bit too much?"
"Heh~ Is it a lot? Don't they realize that if Brother Ye hadn't taken it over, which Western country could have handled this magical forest?"
"Exactly! If they could have handled it, they wouldn't have come to our Great Xia country for help. Not to mention that elf girl, but with things like the dandelion magic flower and killer willow trees, it's not something they can deal with. Moreover, if this passage opens again, not just the forest, but their Great Power Country, and even the entire West, might not be able to hold on!"
"This friend from Great Xia is right. Although I'm from France, after Brother Ye came to our West, I immediately felt much safer!"
…
Watching netizens fervently discussing Great Power Country's decision, the high-level officials of other Western countries, as well as those from South Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, fell into silence for a time.
It had to be said that Great Power Country showed great courage this time. If it were them, they would hesitate, they would be reluctant to part with it! But thinking about it from another angle, they could only sigh helplessly. Now, even if they also ceded land to Bai Ye for pastures, Bai Ye might not even be interested…
Seeing Great Power Country's generosity, Bai Ye also showed a slight smile. "From now on, this forest will be private property. Please do not enter without permission."
Even if we were allowed, we wouldn't dare to enter! Are we blind? We all saw so many terrifying monsters just now!
Just as the netizens were about to make some teasing remarks, Bai Ye swiftly closed the livestream.
??? ̄へ ̄
The netizens from Great Xia country grumbled as they exited the livestream, while netizens from other countries were in shock. Good heavens, he left without even saying goodbye? He disappeared faster than a rabbit!
Princess Manjushava's eyes became even more peculiar and surprised. In that instant, the feeling of being monitored suddenly vanished, right when Bai Ye stopped his 'muttering.'
"Is there a problem?" Bai Ye's voice suddenly sounded beside her.
"No!" Princess Manjushava replied subconsciously. But after saying it, she became even more curious, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Let's go."
Bai Ye ignored her and, with a thought, took her to another part of the forest. There was a patch of 'cactus' magical plants, with one tall and outstanding specimen standing out from the rest.
These were the magical plants that had been fortunate enough to be favored by Bai Ye earlier.
Upon seeing Bai Ye appear, these magical plants clearly displayed emotions of joy, even with the elf princess present.
Seeing her subordinates so readily submitting to Bai Ye, Princess Manjushava pursed her lips. Honestly, she felt a little unhappy.
Suddenly, Bai Ye produced a small blue bottle. Her beautiful eyes widened abruptly, and her expression was one of disbelief.
Bai Ye slowly poured the 'glucose' onto the leader of the 'cactus' plants. It immediately emitted a captivating emotion, entering a state of blissful ecstasy.
It seemed that the bottleneck had been broken, and its aura began to slowly climb again. The surrounding magical plants also emitted joyful, frenzied auras.
"From now on, anyone in this forest who doesn't obey will be beaten."
Bai Ye patted it gently, spoke a few words, and then, with a stunned Princess Manjushava, left Great Power Country and returned to Great Xia.
At the Crouching Dragon Ranch, by the water plant beneath the volcano, Da Peng, who had taken human form, was enthusiastically boasting to the workers.
"Brother Da Peng, is that true! Are you really that powerful over there?"
Da Peng, holding a cigarette, patted his chest and affirmed with great certainty, "Damn it! You guys don't believe your Da Peng? If Elder Brother Ye hadn't forbidden it, I would have tied up those elves and brought them back for the brothers to amuse themselves with!"
"Heh! Forget about her, even a demon king level monster would have to offer me a cigarette when they see me, Da Peng!"
For a moment, the workers in the water plant looked at him with shining eyes, their faces filled with admiration. This made his lips involuntarily curl into a slight smile.
Suddenly, two figures appeared abruptly, without a sound. One looked slightly surprised, the other had a blank expression.
"Boss, Boss!!" Da Peng's pupils trembled. Upon seeing the faint yet bone-chilling aura emanating from the elegant figure behind Bai Ye, the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.
"Brother Ye? Holy cow!"
"Brother Ye is back so soon!"
The workers in the water plant all turned their heads, exclaiming in surprise. However, after seeing the elegant figure behind Bai Ye, the atmosphere instantly turned cold and awkward.
Princess Manjushava's gaze was extremely icy. It was unfortunate that they had overheard Da Peng's boasting just now. With her long strides, she slowly walked around behind Bai Ye.
Da Peng's face immediately fell. What the heck? What's going on? Why did she come back with the master? Is she one of us now? It's over, I'm not as powerful as her, and she's an elf, much more useful than me!!!
"Master! You're finally back." Da Peng ran to Bai Ye's other side, bypassing Princess Manjushava, and shouted anxiously.
"Master, I am loyal to you! Whether it's climbing mountains of knives or descending into seas of fire, Da Peng wouldn't blink an eye."
"Elves are beautiful, but we can catch another one! But there aren't many like your loyal and diligent Da Peng, who works tirelessly at the ranch!"
…
The workers nearby saw this, wanting to laugh but not daring to. They also sensed the killing intent from the elf princess.
"Brother Ye, Brother Da Peng is truly beyond reproach, always helping us."
"Yes! Although his background is unusual, his character is impeccable."
The elf princess's chest rose and fell slightly. Looking at the surrounding atmosphere and Bai Ye's expression, she knew she couldn't touch this detestable great bird.
As expected, Bai Ye spoke, "Start with my ranch. Go get to work."
"Humph!" Princess Manjushava's chest heaved more violently, and with a snort, she walked out.
Seeing this, Da Peng's face was filled with joy, even a touch of smugness. See? My status in the master's heart is very important, isn't it?
"Ouch!"
Just as he was about to boast a few more words, Bai Ye kicked him away from her feet.
"How is the water plant?"
"Very smooth," the water plant employee replied, suppressing a smile. "Everything is ready. We can start transporting to the outside world at any moment. We just need your word, Brother Ye!"
"Then let's start transporting," Bai Ye nodded, and with a flash, she disappeared.
Returning to the villa, Bai Ye checked her information and couldn't help but be startled.
