Chapter 784: Chapter 7: The Story Between Wang Anye and the Little Princess That Must Be Told (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_4

Actually, this Primordial Water Cyan Jiao can still flutter and fly a bit, but due to its massive size and insufficient bloodline power, it can’t fly high or far. It must wait until it reaches Tier Seven and transforms into a Primordial Water Cyan Dragon to truly soar into the sky.

If that time ever comes, it won’t be able to be contained.

But for now, the Primordial Water Cyan Jiao has no way out; it could either head inland. However, the inland is human territory, and if it goes on a rampage there, sooner or later, Celestial Human Realm Cultivators would join forces to take it down.

Wang Shouzhe calmly drank his tea and smiled, saying, "It’s just a little matter of blocking water to catch fish, like the time my sixth uncle blocked a river to catch a spirit fish."

Of course, Wang Shouzhe’s undertaking this time is much grander than catching a small spirit fish.

This is a Primordial Water Cyan Jiao at the peak of Tier Six, about to transform into a dragon.

The two ancestors of the Waang Family greatly admire Wang Shouzhe. Let’s not even talk about this unconventional approach; the truly difficult part lies in the construction of this floodgate.

Only the Wang Family’s construction team could complete such rapid construction in such a challenging environment, with a large logistics unit to transport materials like foreign cement and stones.

"What I admire most about Patriarch Shouzhe," Ancestor Kunyuan said cheerfully, "is that this project accomplishes two goals at once: it can trap and kill the Primordial Water Cyan Jiao and tame this desolate marsh by proposing to farm the Desolate Swamp Ferocious Crocodiles for meat... marvelous, simply marvelous!"

Desolate Swamp Ferocious Crocodiles have a high growth rate; fish fry can be released in the marsh pools for breeding, providing ample and cheap food for the crocodiles. Additionally, a moderate amount of pigs and yaks can be used to feed the crocodiles to enhance their growth speed.

The initial investment cost is not low, but neither is the return. The meat yield rate of Desolate Swamp Ferocious Crocodiles is considerable, and their skins, claws, teeth, and other by-products have high value.

The only minor issue is that the initial investment amount is large, and the return cycle is very long.

Therefore, the Waang Family fully supported the Wang Family. This endeavor was a cooperative effort with the Wang Family taking the lead investment, and the Waang Family providing aged, infirm, or disabled livestock from their ranch.

The Waang Family, in turn, is responsible for the labor, becoming a happy working family. Although the Wang Family retains the lion’s share of the final profits, the Waang Family takes on no risk.

Besides, both parties also agreed that before the Desolate Swamp Ferocious Crocodile industry becomes profitable, the Wang Family would lend a sum of money to the Waang Family each year to help their younger generations and Ancestor Kunyuan access cultivation resources to reach the Purple Mansion Realm.

This noble act naturally won the Waang Family’s wholehearted admiration, leaving them to marvel at the great vision of the Changning Wang Family.

The Waang Family had made up their minds to follow the Wang Family from now on.

For now, they would first assist the Wang Family in either capturing or killing the Primordial Water Cyan Jiao. This time, they must perform well and leave a good impression on Patriarch Shouzhe. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Longzuo County.

The Prince’s Mansion.

In the backyard of the Prince’s Mansion, various spirit flowers and exotic plants stretched their branches and leaves under the sunlight, lush green and bright red, with a faint glow of spirit light flowing through the leaf veins, appearing vibrant and full of vigor.

It was evident that their owner had taken very good care of them.

Among the flowers, Prince Zhenzuo Wu Dianshan, dressed in a white casual short coat, was bending over, holding a small spiritual artifact hoe in his hand, turning the soil one hoe at a time.

As a laid-back prince, he didn’t have much real power. Besides attending battles a few times in his early years to inherit his title, he spent most of his time at home tending to flowers and fishing.

In recent years, as he grew older, he took even less interest in the affairs of the Prince’s Mansion, leaving them mostly to his great-grandson, who was about to inherit the title, allowing himself to wholeheartedly enjoy gardening and family pleasure, living a very carefree life.

Most of the spirit flowers and exotic plants in this backyard were now personally cared for by him.

Placing the small spiritual artifact hoe on the ground, Profound Qi flowed in, causing the inscriptions on the hoe to light up, and spirit light flowed from the hoe tip, dispersing into the soil.

This small spiritual artifact hoe was specially crafted by an artifact refiner at his request; it could not only loosen soil but also channel earth vein spiritual energy, making it easier for spirit flowers and exotic plants to absorb.

Soon, the soil beneath the tree roots would start to churn automatically, quickly becoming loose and breathable.

Then, on to the next plant.

Unconsciously, Wu Dianshan leisurely loosened the soil in half of the garden.

At this time, an old steward in a scholar’s robe passed through the lush greenery and came to Wu Dianshan’s side, saying softly, "Your Highness, a few days ago, Prince Anjun and Princess Anjun sent a note saying they wanted to visit. By my calculations, they should be arriving this afternoon or tomorrow."

"Oh, I remember now, that was indeed the case." Wu Dianshan, living such a relaxed life, almost forgot about it and casually asked, "Is the guest house ready?"

"It’s all been prepared according to your standard, Your Highness. The food has also been stocked, all seafood transported by the Qingluo Guard this morning, kept chilled to ensure freshness," the old steward respectfully reported his preparations.

"As long as it’s ready. Post someone at the gate to notify me immediately upon their arrival."

This old steward had been with him for over a hundred years, and Wu Dianshan trusted him a lot, so he sent him off after just a brief instruction.

However, being interrupted like this inevitably reminded him of the increasingly intense "Struggle of the Imperial Sons," and he couldn’t find the leisure to continue loosening the soil.
