The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 622 - 623 100000
Chapter 622 -623 100000
After taking the potion for the last time, Mu Houde’s damaged body had completely recovered.
The happiest of all was Mu Liangxing, whose father had sacrificed his own well-being to protect their clan. This issue had always troubled him. If it hadn’t been for the Emperor’s miraculous potion, his father might not have lived another ten years.
When Mu Liangxing looked at Lin Qian, he wasn’t sure if it was just his impression, but he always felt that the Emperor seemed very pleased.
Pleased as punch?
“How does the Mu Clan Chief feel? Have you returned to normal?” Lin Qian approached Mu Houde with a smile and asked with concern.
At this moment, although Mu Houde still looked aged, he was full of vigor and respectfully bowed to Lin Qian, expressing his gratitude, “Thank you, Your Majesty. Your humble servant has returned to his peak condition and even feels some improvement.”
“Improvement is good. Strive to reach the Entering Saint Realm soon. Take this bottle of potion and consume it at this time tomorrow.” Saying this, Lin Qian handed a crystal bottle filled with green potion to him.
Mu Houde looked a bit frightened and hastily said to Lin Qian, “Your Majesty, you have already granted your servant three cups of potion, which is an immense grace that saved my life. If there’s more…”
“The gifts I bestow are not to be declined.” Looking at Mu Houde, Lin Qian spoke with a slightly stern tone, pretending to be displeased.
Seeing this, Mu Houde could only wryly accept the potion. At this time, Lin Qian also cleared away his previous somberness and nodded with a smile, “That’s more like it. In the future, I will rely on you to bring a better future to the Huaxia Empire. This little reward is nothing.”
Hearing Lin Qian’s words, Mu Houde and the others nodded repeatedly, indicating they had come to understand.
“Next, we shall go to the agricultural valley and take a careful look.” Lin Qian said as he waved to the senior figures among the Muling Clan, “Follow me to the Cloud Boat station in Coastal City, and let yourselves experience the charm of the aviation company.”
Hearing Lin Qian’s words, the faces of the Muling Clan members revealed puzzled expressions.
They had heard of Cloud Boats before; in the Western Continent, Cloud Boats were luxurious items owned only by powerful elites and large clans.
“It truly is the Huaxia Empire, so wealthy and powerful. It seems we will also get to experience what a Cloud Boat feels like,” a member of the Muling Clan said to his clansmen with a laugh after hearing Lin Qian’s words.
Even Mu Houde was excited; in all these years, he had only ridden a Cloud Boat once. As for his son, Mu Liangxing, he had never ridden one.
“I have a special passage. You can travel with me on the high-speed Cloud Boat, which is as fast as a strong warrior of the Entering Saint Realm. It will only take half an hour to reach the destination,” Lin Qian spoke slowly to the Muling Clan members from the luxurious emperor’s lounge.
At this moment, the Muling Clan members were very restrained, and a beautiful Human Clan woman, dressed youthfully and beautifully, asked,
“This elder, may I know what you would like to drink? Oolong Spirit Tea, coffee, or perhaps cola?”
“…Uh, coffee then,” Mu Liangxing stuttered, watching the youthful figure walk away, he was still puzzled in his heart, “Coffee? What is that?”
The other elders of the Muling Clan faced similar confusion, some, out of caution, chose the familiar Spirit Tea, while others, curious, opted for the novel choices of coffee or cola.
“Delicious!”
Whether it was the Oolong Spirit Tea, coffee, or cola, all these beverages impressed the Muling Clan members.
“May I ask Your Majesty, upon entering this building, I noticed quite a few people coming and going, some as powerful as Soul Martial Artists of the Life and Death Realm, and others common practitioners from the Shape Origin or Nirvana Realms,” said Mu Houde after savoring a sip of his Oolong Spirit Tea, expressing the curiosity that had been on his mind to Lin Qian.
Not just him, but Mu Liangxing and the rest of the Muling Clan members also turned their attention their way.
According to Lin Qian, this place was for boarding Cloud Boats. In their minds, a Cloud Boat was supposed to be an exclusive item owned privately by Lin Qian.
But why then were so many people at the place for boarding Cloud Boats, among whom they also noticed quite a few from other races?
“This place is for boarding Cloud Boats, so of course, they are here to board Cloud Boats as well,” Lin Qian replied matter-of-factly.
“…” Mu Houde and the others were stunned, speechless for a moment.
After quite a while, Mu Houde finally regained his composure and asked, “You mean to say, anyone can ride the Cloud Boat, Your Majesty?”
“Of course. For the citizens of the Huaxia Empire, the Cloud Boat is an essential means of transportation. As long as one purchases the appropriate ticket, which serves as a voucher, they can board a Cloud Boat and have their own spot,” Lin Qian explained, raising his index finger, “Depending on the ticket price, it dictates whether you have just a seat or a whole room on the Cloud Boat.”
“So you mean, Your Majesty has made the Cloud Boat available for the Empire’s citizens to use, as long as they pay a fee?” Hearing Lin Qian’s explanation, astonishment was evident in Mu Houde’s eyes, “Is it similar, then, to the underground trains we’ve ridden before?”
“Exactly. In the Huaxia Empire, whether by water, land, or air, Huaxia people can choose their preferred or necessary means of travel. Now, the Huaxia Empire has achieved this: in the morning, one can admire beautiful jade carvings in the northernmost Yuheng Province, and in the afternoon, play in the waters of the southernmost Coastal State,” Lin Qian spoke with immense pride, “Regardless of Realm, the vast Territory is no longer an obstacle for them.”
“Your Majesty, does the Empire really have so many Cloud Boats for the entire Huaxia Empire to use?” Mu Houde asked, somewhat incredulous. In his mind, luxurious items like Cloud Boats, even across the vast Western Continent and among its many races, probably only totaled around two thousand. And such items were controlled by the large clans.
“Mmm, right now, there are about a hundred thousand Cloud Boats in service in the Huaxia Empire, with more to come. From what I see, a hundred thousand still seems far from enough.” Lin Qian recalled the report from the Transportation Department, “Many Soul Martial Artists, in their pursuit to advance their Realm, often take Cloud Boats to the Southern Domain’s various places to observe, and under the witness of Huaxia’s dueling arenas, they spar with Soul Martial artists from different places to enhance their skills. Therefore, the number of people riding Cloud Boats is much more than I had anticipated.”
“Ten… a hundred thousand!” Mu Houde could no longer hide the shock in his heart, and stood up excitedly, causing Lin Qian to feel a bit dizzy from the overwhelming reaction.
At this moment, Mu Houde was trembling all over.
“Ancestor, what kind of Empire have our clan joined!”
