[Subscribe Please]_3 Thinking about the appearance of this monster and the substantial disruption it could cause among the lords, the Variegated Bird felt somewhat gloomy.
It was once considered the second most powerful lord, and its ranking was closely tied with that of Diming, quite indistinguishable as if determined by drawing straws.
“I don’t want to hurt you,” Jia Yan said lightly, “I just want you to tell me about some matters concerning the lords under Lord Xingrong.”
In fact, he hadn’t wanted to deal much with these so-called lords previously, as he considered himself a Star Space Level, equivalent to the mysterious Lord Xingrong.
How could he possibly want to inquire into the affairs of these Sky Level lords?
However, when the big bird appeared and revealed some insider information, Jia Yan thought it over and felt he needed to understand these lords’ affairs.
He might have to serve as a lord in Forest 57 for a while.
If he didn’t familiarize himself with the environment, he might miss out on important matters.
“Alright!
I’ll tell you,” the Variegated Bird said, somewhat despondently.
Afterward, Jia Yan smiled, and the two stayed aloft, engaging in a conversation.
Not long after, only to hear the Variegated Bird say so much, then turned to Jia Yan and said resentfully…
“There, I’ve told you everything you wanted to know.
Can I go now?
Also, I’m not the ‘brother’ you keep referring to; I’m female, do you understand?
Calling a woman ‘brother,’ are you blind?
Hmph!”
“Uh…” Taken aback by the sharp scolding, Jia Yan was somewhat stunned.
It turned out this big bird was female, but as for discerning genders among these monsters, Jia Yan truly couldn’t tell.
He wasn’t so idle as to specifically check their ‘organs.’
“Alright, Lady Tihu, you may go,” he nodded awkwardly.
Watching the Variegated Bird swiftly depart, Jia Yan cast aside his embarrassment.
He quickly recalled the words the other had spoken.
This Variegated Bird, called Tihu, seemed indeed like a fiery woman.
However, what mattered to Jia Yan was not this point, but rather the affairs among the lords she had mentioned.
“So these lords have so many private relations and even numerous methods of taking bribes.
But of course, if everyone followed the rules of Lord Xingrong’s palace, no monster would vie to be a lord.
These fellows are earning so much on the side.
Jia Yan contemplated the words the other had said, the fixed trading and intelligence exchanges among the lords, he planned for a while, then flew swiftly back the way he had come.
Returning to Forest 57 took several hours!
Jia Yan’s journey had been quite fruitful.
He not only received the official enfeoffment of Forest 57 but also obtained some very important intelligence that was now in his hands.
More importantly, he had acquired an overt identity in this once timid world!
He would no longer hide out fearfully in the Ku Ditai People’s Camp, quietly regaining his energy in the shadows!
“Lord, you’re back!”
Seeing Jia Yan’s return, the Ku Ditai people were in a state of unparalleled excitement.
They had deeply committed to Jia Yan.
Before he rose to prominence, they had already staked all bets on him, not something a normal species would do.
They were absolutely forced into doing so by a desperate survival situation.
Now that Jia Yan had succeeded, whether they would get a better life and future depended entirely on whether he remembered their loyalty!
Fortunately, Jia Yan was not one to forget favors and deny relationships.
“I’m back, but I won’t stay long.
Get ready, we’re going to the old Kaz’s Northeast palace shortly.
That will be my Lord’s Hall hereafter, and you may build a city nearby!”
Jia Yan directly addressed the Ku Ditai people.
“Ah!
Thank you, Lord!
Thank you, Lord!” At that moment, Harrora felt an urge to cry, continuously bowing and thanking Jia Yan.
“No need to thank me; this is your return for your efforts.
I am not one to forget my roots.
As long as you Ku Ditai people do not betray me, I will certainly never betray you,” Jia Yan solemnly told all the Ku Ditai in the camp.
“Yes!
Yes!
We will never betray the Lord, we will always work for the Lord,” Harrora quickly assured.
Jia Yan just smiled.
Loyalty and trust sometimes cannot be guaranteed by words but need to be shown in actions.
Jia Yan was very aware that the foundation of all this was still his own strength!
“Alright, once all this is arranged, it’s time to move on to the next important place for recovery…”
“That energy volcano!”
Jia Yan’s Compound Eyes sparkled brilliantly.
The night passed, and it was a night filled with joy and emotion.
At this time, all the Ku Ditai people had followed Jia Yan to the old Kaz’s Northeast palace.
This palace was far from comparing to the palace of the Celestial Dragon Lord, where Lord Xingrong resided, but for Big Mosquito, it was already more than a hundred times better than his previous environment.
It was in a place abundant with vapor.
A dark figure lightly soaked in it.
This was the bath used by the old Kaz.
Since leaving Earth, Jia Yan hadn’t bathed, and although his body didn’t really need it, a clean body was never a disadvantage.
“Haha, to think that I met Lord Xingrong just like that; fortunately, he wasn’t angry,” Jia Yan laughed, watching the filth rise in the water.
“All right, after the bath, it will be a new atmosphere, and then, my energy recovery process will also move to a new stage!” The brilliance in his Compound Eyes shone intensely.
