Chapter 1004 – Dragon and Phoenix Prosperity

Lin Jing took out a fist-sized, golden shiny sphere; this was the evil emperor relic.

“Little Shuo let’s discuss. The weapons and equipment in the treasury are already worth a lot, along with the three secret manuals, I’m taking too much. You should take this relic.”

As she said that, Lin Jing passed it over.

Ouyang Shuo smiled and pushed the relic back.

“What?” Lin Jing could not understand.

“Take it. Little aunt, you need this more than me. I’m looking forward to you shining in the world martial arts competition.” Ouyang Shuo smiled.

It was already the 5th year of Gaia, and the first round of the world martial arts competition had begun.

Ouyang Shuo had no doubt that Lin Jing had the ability to be among the top 10 of Jianye Region. But to say that she would definitely be in the China finals to represent the China region at the global finals, maybe even Lin Jing did not have that much confidence in herself. One must know that China always had many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, so who knows what experts hid in the wilderness.

Especially with the sects opening up, many miracles could be made.

Not mentioning dark horses, but with the nine imperial cities and Shanhai City, there were a total of 10 regions.

Xingzhou, Somalia, and Morocco were all considered secondary regions, with each having five slots. If not, it would be really unfair to the adventure gamemode players in those three regions.

To fight for the top 10 in China basically meant that you needed to be the top of your region.

Much less the ability you needed to stand at the grandest world stage to chase for the title of best in the world.

To adventure gamemode players, this was their absolute goal. At such a time, each of them hoped to gain some extra strength, which would mean an extra chance of winning.

The Chinese had such a saying, ‘Real men help people out in times of need.’

Much less the person in front of him, who was one of his few relatives.

A look of emotion flashed in her eyes, “Okay I’ll take it.” Lin Jing obviously knew how huge this gift was. Even as a relative, this gift still meant a lot.

A warm current flowed into her heart.

This was not because of the relic but due to the care and concern between family members.

Ouyang Shuo had a wide smile on his face and officially sent out his invitation, “Little Aunt, for the Chinese New Year, I’m going to hold a feast to invite all our people. I hope that you can join.”

Be it the Ouyang family or Ouyang Shuo’s mom’s Lin family, there were obviously still many distant relatives.

Based on rough estimations, there should be a hundred people.

If one considered the branch families and the in-laws, it would reach three to four hundred.

During these few years, along with Ouyang Shuo’s identity being revealed, there were relatives who came over to Shanhai City. Ouyang Shuo did not reject them. Instead, he gave them jobs based on their specialty.

Till date, all the members of the Ouyang family and the Lin family lived in Shanhai City.

Speaking of which, all these people could be termed as the relatives of the king.

Ouyang Shuo had understood a theory. To rule a huge dynasty, one could not allow their relatives to abuse their power, but they could not reject them either.

Even to say that to a certain degree, having a huge royal family could help to maintain the stability of a dynasty.

Sometimes, bloodline relations made for the most stable and loyal people.

Using relatives was definitely needed.

Ouyang Shuo needed to use them in sufficient quantities. Those with talent would be placed at important positions in hopes of them becoming successful.

Hence, it formed a stable foundation to support the dynasty.

Ouyang Shuo was prepared to give a large amount of titles to the family before the Chinese New Year, including three marquis titles, 12 earl titles, 20 viscount titles, and 35 baron titles.

Listening to Ouyang Shuo’s plan, Lin Jing kept silent for a long while. Her expression was really complicated.

“Little Shuo, you have really grown up to become a true man, the leader of our family, and its pillar. If your parents could see your current achievements, they would be so proud.”

Ouyang Shuo tried his best not to cry. Looking up into the sky, he prayed, “Dad, Mom, are you all doing okay in heaven?” Who knew that he was also someone who needed the comfort and encouragement of his parents.

Seeing that, Lin Jing suddenly stepped forward and hugged Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo was stunned, and he laughed like a little kid. Such warmth was something he rarely felt.

Lin Jing backed off, as tears formed at the corner of her eyes, “I’ll come on Lunar New Year’s Eve, along with Siyun.”

Ouyang Shuo nodded.

“That’s right. I nearly forgot something.” Lin Jing wiped away her tears and transferred three million gold to Ouyang Shuo, “This was from the treasury.”

This time, Ouyang Shuo gladly accepted it.

...

After he sent his little aunt off, Ouyang Shuo returned to the back palace.

Since he was wishing for a god beast for his unborn children, he should naturally do it along with Song Jia.

The white stone looked really unassuming, but it held a mysterious power.

“Let’s begin!” Song Jia was looking forward to it.

Ouyang Shuo nodded. He held the white stone and said in his heart, “Use!”

“System Notification: Noticed player Qiyue Wuyi is using the Contract Beast Wishing Stone, one time use, will you make a wish?”

“Yes!”

“System Notification: Please choose wish type!”

“God beast!”

With Ouyang Shuo’s status, if he were to choose, he would naturally go for the best one.

“System Notification: For a god beast, the lowest amount is one million gold. Please choose the amount of gold you want to spend. Friendly Reminder: the higher the amount, the rarer the god beast. The limit is five million gold!”

“5 million gold!”

Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate. Apart from the three million Lin Jing gave to him, Song Jia as the mother had also taken out three million from the Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holdings as emergency money.

Who knew that it would come in handy?

During the 4th year, they earned 15 million gold in profits through Huo Qubing, Hua Mulan, and five other films as well as concerts.

As the biggest shareholder, Song Jia jumped to become a wealthy person in the China region.

However, the ambitious few female shareholders including Song Jia were not happy with the current scale. They were not ready to split the profits. Instead, they tossed it into shooting new movies.

As a result, Song Jia was only able to take out three million gold.

” System Notification: Voice your wish!”

Ouyang Shuo took in a deep breath and voiced the wish he had prepared in advance, “Provide a pair of most suitable god beasts for my unborn children.”

This wish was really vague, but the requirements were really high.

The most suitable ones were the best ones.

” System Notification: Calculating wish, please wait...”

At the same time, the Gaia body in the city in the skies suddenly opened its eyes. It looked right down at Ouyang Shuo.

“It’s him!” Gaia’s eyes shook.

Who knows what Gaia did because in less than a minute, Ouyang Shuo received a notification.

” System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi, wish successful, deducting five million gold, obtaining dragon egg and phoenix egg, one of each.”

The wishing stone turned into a white light and slowly rose up into the sky. Amongst the eye-catching white light, gold and red lights shone out.

The eye-catching gold, the noble red.

One like gold, one like fire.

Weirdly, the ball of light shot through a ray of golden and a ray of red light, shooting into Song Jia’s stomach and disappearing.

Along with the glow dissipating, two god beast eggs appeared, one big and one small.

Big like a water bucket, small like a watermelon.

Ouyang Shuo went up. He wanted to take a look at the stats, but all he got was: ???.

“Did they already sign the contract?”

Ouyang Shuo was astonished. Luckily, Gaia did not con players. Since he spent five million gold and used the equally precious wishing stone, there should not be any problems.

“Wife, keep them!” Ouyang Shuo smiled.

Song Jia nodded and kept both eggs into her storage bag.

...

2nd month, 15th day, Shanhai City.

Starting from tomorrow, the Imperial Court would take a break and officially enter the Chinese New Year season.

On this morning, the palace sent out 50 imperial decrees through the Cabinet, and they were all to grant titles to relatives of the king.

The messengers in charge of sending the decrees zoomed about on the streets of the Capital City, what a sight.

Along with the decree were gifts like silk, gold, and jewelry as a form of New Year’s greeting.

The moment the news spread out, the dynasty rejoiced.

To the people, the king giving titles to his relatives was a sign of the prosperity of the dynasty. Along with the queen having children, it was a great sign.

As for being worried that the king’s relatives would abuse their power, that was not a worry.

The king was smart and skilled in martial arts; he was fair in his decisions, so he was loved by the people. He had also punished relatives before. Naturally, he would not be biased.

Hence, this pushed the festive atmosphere to the peak.

Following which, the palace sent out another decree, which was for the palace feast for officials to be held a day before the Lunar New Year’s Eve.

With that, the civil servants and generals did not need to spend their reunion dinner with the king and could spend it with their families.

In this aspect, Ouyang Shuo was different from past rulers.

Ouyang Shuo, who was greatly influenced by modern thinking, did not wish to drag his men down with him just to show that he was celebrating with the people. Although those officials acted really respectful when they attended the feasts, in the dark, they were scolding the ruler.

No glory or honor could compare with having a reunion dinner with family.
