Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1115: Chapter 384: His Highness’s New Friends, Settling in the Inner City, Accelerated Cultivation, Age 5 Banquet (Part 2)

Just as expected!

Han Feng showed a look of understanding on his face, lowered his head to look at his two sons, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He laughed and said, "You two are luckier than your father. You’ve barely arrived at Xia City and already met noble people, hahaha..."

After laughing, he remembered something and continued, "Quickly, call your aunt. This is my younger sister, your aunt."

"Han Ming greets Aunt!"

"Han Rui greets Aunt!"

Seeing her two nephews greet her, Han Shuang felt a surge of affection in her heart, smiled, and walked forward to touch the foreheads of the two children. Then she took out two silver-black jade stones from her bosom, giving one to each.

"Aunt heard about you two little fellows at the end of last year. Today I finally get to meet you in person. This is my gift to you."

Seeing his brother wanting to refuse the gifts for his nephews, Han Shuang immediately shook her head and softly said, "Brother, these are all external possessions. With your abilities, you can easily obtain them in the future. Let me make a nice gesture for my nephews first!"

Knowing his sister’s temperament well, Han Feng could only smile helplessly.

But as Han Shuang said, he has strength to rely on. Now that he’s in Great Xia, he will certainly be able to obtain these things in the future. With that thought, a wave of confidence surged in his heart, and he said no more.

In the future, he would return the favor a hundredfold.

"Brother, sister-in-law, follow me. Over the years, my sister and I have accumulated quite a bit of wealth in Xia City. There’s a house in the Inner City we seldom use since we usually live in the Star-picking Hall. You and your family can stay there for now!"

With the thoughts he just had, Han Feng naturally wouldn’t refuse his sister anymore, and nodded, then led his wife and two sons to follow his sister to the Inner City.

However, after walking for a while, he remembered something and whispered to his sister, "Shuang’er, after I returned to Guyan Village at the end of last year, I went to Jinshan City several times and gathered quite a bit of useful information. Can you find a way for me to see the Lord? These matters should be useful to Great Xia!"

Upon hearing this, Han Shuang shook her head without thinking, looking at Han Feng with a strange expression, "Brother, what do you take your sister for? I’m just the maid deputy of Star-picking Hall. Not even sister can easily take someone to see the Lord. Lu Shouzheng has arranged everything for you. I’ll take you to the residence first. Tomorrow morning, Deputy Director of the Supervision Department Lord Xu Ning will summon you in the Inner City Supervision Department Hall. You can tell him whatever you’ve found. If it’s really important, he will relay it to the Lord."

Han Feng quickly understood upon hearing this and nodded with a trace of a wry smile.

Great Xia now isn’t the same Great Xia that had just invaded Longyou. His strength at 17 zong might be decent elsewhere, but in Great Xia, it’s obviously insufficient.

Lord Xia Hong is now a famed Xianyang-level overlord across Nine Towns, and there are those calling him the strongest in Moao’s Southern Slope.

It’s impossible to meet him just because you want to!

Han Feng took a slight breath, quickly steadied his mindset, then his eyes reignited with fighting spirit, thinking to himself, "One can’t meet him now doesn’t mean one can’t meet him in the future. I’m likely to be assigned back to Jinshan Town to infiltrate further. As long as I can gather more useful intel for Great Xia from Jinshan City, I’ll eventually earn the Lord’s attention."

Of course, cultivation is the most crucial.

As long as the strength is strong enough, it will naturally draw attention.

.........

The eighth year of Da Xia, August 5

The usually somewhat quiet Star-picking Hall was lively again today.

The reason is simple, because today there are three little birthday stars celebrating together.

Right as night fell, the beautifully dressed Xia Yuning, Xia Yuyao, and Xia Yusheng siblings were already seated around the round table in the main hall of Star-picking Hall.

And of course, the eldest Xia Yuzong was not left out.

The maids were setting dishes and arranging wine beside the table. Seeing the little ones, usually mischievous, now sitting with hands on the table, backs straight, and staring straight ahead with an upright posture, couldn’t help but cover their mouths and giggle.

The usually calm and upright Xia Yuzong, compared to the three of them now, appeared to be the most normal.

These little ones, usually fearless, are only correct and proper in presence of the one above the Star-picking Platform.

All the maids couldn’t help but turn their heads and glance at the entrance of the Star-picking Platform.

"Madam has been in seclusion for a long time this time, right?"

"Madam has been back since the end of April. Besides leaving seclusion three times to check on the two lords, she has hardly left the Star-picking Platform."

"Three months already. That’s indeed quite long. Madam’s cultivation practice is quite diligent!"

"I’ve heard rumors outside that Madam’s strength in our Great Xia Town ranks just below the Lord’s. Do you think it’s true?"

"Of course, it’s true! I went to Long Mountain with Madam last year and saw it myself. She could independently slay an Advanced Cold Beast, her strength is indeed terrifying."

.........

While the maids below were discussing, up on the Star-picking Platform, Li Xuanling quietly opened her eyes, just happening to meet the eyes of Xia Hong who was staring at her.

Xia Hong was less than half a meter away from her, almost leaning into her face.

The two have been married for nearly six years now, practically like an old couple. Despite that, being stared at so boldly at such a close distance by Xia Hong, Li Xuanling couldn’t help but blush slightly, snapping in mock anger, "What are you staring at me for?"

"Fifty-six zong, you’ve improved by more than two zongs in just three months. Your cultivation speed has started to accelerate again."
