Chapter 657: Teleportation Array Completed
Recently, the Crimson Fox girls had been taking turns being brought by Mei Gongzi to the Peacock Demon clan, where they served as guards and experienced life outside the valley. Over this period, they had become more cheerful and less fearful of the outside world, and their cultivation progress had improved significantly as a result.
While Tang San was constructing the teleportation array, the Crimson Fox girls who remained in the Golden Valley took on the task of guarding him.
After a month of planning, confirming, and testing, Tang San had become quite confident in the process. The construction of the teleportation array went smoothly, and it took only ten days for him to complete the initial setup.
Everything in Kali City was normal, and on the east side of the city, the human settlement had taken shape after a period of intense construction. The fact that Mei Gongzi, the new city lord, had a human bloodline was naturally an immense boon to the humans. In the history of the Daemon Continent, this was the first time someone with human blood had held the position of lord of a main city. How could humans not be overjoyed by this news?
However, to avoid drawing too much attention, the Redemption Society was very cautious, and it only operated in the areas near Kali City. Even so, within a short period, tens of thousands of former human slaves and vassals had gathered there. The major noble clans within Kali City, understanding the situation, had voluntarily sent their servants and vassals to the settlement.
Redemption Academy took on the critical role of education, while the Redemption Society led the people in building their new home. Since it was their own home, there was no need for the demons to be involved, and neither did they offer to do anything. All the humans were incredibly enthusiastic. Here, there was no more oppression or slavery—this place belonged to them.
In a short time, the settlement had already begun to take shape. The Redemption Society provided some funding, and the Aetherhorn Merchant Association, under Mei Gongzi's discreet guidance, offered additional support. The settlement started to develop farmland and workshops, aiming to become self-sufficient soon and to initiate trade with Kali City.
For humanity, this was an unprecedentedly precious opportunity—a fundamental possibility for the entire race to escape their suffering.
Mei Gongzi devoted much of her energy to this project, with Zhang Haoxuan taking on a crucial management role. He was busy every day, overseeing the creation of a major human-only settlement, a project that came with countless challenges. The atmosphere was understandably hectic, but the joy on the workers' faces could not be disguised.
Night fell.
The Golden Valley was especially beautiful at night. The soft golden glow emanating from the Golden Tree illuminated the valley, filling it with the aura of life.
She had grown lazy, unwilling to think independently, unwilling to face challenges alone. It was all because of him. But the feeling of having someone to rely on was truly wonderful. As long as he was there, her heart felt particularly at ease. It seemed that no challenge was too difficult when he was by her side.
You said that my name used to be Xiao Wu... What was Xiao Wu like? What was she like when she was with you?
Thinking about this, a faint smile appeared on Mei Gongzi's lips.
"What are you smiling about? Were you thinking about me?" A teasing voice broke the silence. Mei Gongzi realized that Tang San had already opened his eyes and was gazing at her intently.
Her cheeks instantly flushed red. "Who would think about you? I was about to ask when we’re leaving."
Tang San had called her here today because they were about to set off for the Ancestral Court once again.
Even Mei Gongzi hadn't expected that after leaving the Ancestral Court under such circumstances, she would return so soon. She felt both nervous and excited.
Last time in the Ancestral Court, they had made waves and even reached the pinnacle—a feat they never could have imagined before going. It was because of this that they had drawn the attention of the Emperors. This time, things would be entirely different.
Tang San said, "We'll set off right away."
He sprang up from the ground, walked over to Mei Gongzi, and naturally took her hand, leading her toward the lake. With a flash of silver light, the two of them appeared in front of the cave on the opposite side of the lake.
The Crimson Fox girls inside the cave had been waiting for them. When they saw the pair arrive, they all bowed in unison and said, "Master, Mistress, welcome!"
The first time she heard them call her mistress, Mei Gongzi had hurriedly corrected them, blushing furiously. But the Crimson Fox girls never changed the way they addressed her, and after hearing it so many times, she had gotten used to it. Every time it happened, Tang San would smirk, his expression one of subtle pride, which made Mei Gongzi grit her teeth in frustration.
