Chapter 1345 - 36: Bumper Harvest! Digging Pits to Set People Up

Work’s here!

Emperor Longchang’s eyes lit up: "Can I get my debts canceled?"

"No problem, we can write off part of it," Wang Anye said readily.

"Good, good, good, this is easy, isn’t it just tearing down a few pillars?" Emperor Longchang rolled up his sleeves and went off with Wang Anye, saying as they walked, "An Ye, I’ll let you see for yourself what ’the might of a Great Emperor’ means."

Before long.

From within the Wang Family construction crew came one exclamation after another.

"Truly worthy of being a Great Emperor, that strength is something else."

"The Emperor’s divine might—such a massive pillar, and he just pulled it down with his bare hands."

"If only I had Lingxu Realm strength, my efficiency at hauling bricks every day would be amazing. My speed at racking up Clan Contribution Points would be through the roof."

Buoyed by all the praise, Emperor Longchang worked even harder.

With everyone working together, it didn’t take long before the Blood Dawn Saint Hall was almost completely dismantled, leaving only the Blood Shelter section, crammed full of Blood Nest Warriors, still standing in its original place.

This Blood Dawn Saint Hall was a typical Divine Martial Era architectural style. Its internal structure was actually quite complex—the walls alone had several layers of construction, and inside there was also a complicated array system. However, "house demolition" was something the Wang Family was professional at, and with Jii Wuchen and Wang Anye, the two array experts, on hand, none of this posed a problem.

Unknowingly, the Blood Venerable’s relic had almost been emptied out.

The Ancestor Dragon of the Primordial Water Cyan Dragon Race was utterly dumbfounded when he saw how efficient the Wang Family was at "demolishing houses."

How many relics do you have to tear down to train up that level of proficiency?

As for this "stripping the ground bare" behavior of the Wang Family that didn’t even spare the bricks, it’s not like he had no opinions about it—but considering that the Wang Family had specially left Wang Lilong an "experimental specimen" that could greatly enhance her bloodline talent, he held his tongue and let them do as they pleased.

After all, those treasure manuals and instruments were of no use to the Primordial Water Cyan Dragon Race.

Once the stuff was hauled away, what followed would be a long digestion process.

...

Time slipped by quietly.

After a while.

Changning Guard, Xinping Town.

On a bustling street less than three li from the harbor, there stood a building full of ancient charm.

The style of the whole building was extremely simple, yet grand and imposing. In the glow of the setting sun, the pure white pillars, the lofty arched gate, and the golden crest inlaid at the top of the building with the family emblem all seemed shrouded in a layer of gold-red halo, overflowing with a sense of sanctity.

If someone familiar with architectural history were here, they would definitely recognize that the style of this building was precisely the architectural fashion that had once been popular during the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Buildings of this style occasionally appeared in the Immortal Dynasty, but were relatively rare over in Daqian, making this particular building stand out even more.

At the top of the building hung a large row of characters. Tiny crystal stones were set around the characters, linked to the array system spread throughout the entire hotel.

It was already dusk now. Although the sky had not yet fully darkened, those crystal stones had lit up early, radiating brilliant multicolored light, even more eye-catching than in broad daylight.

And the words themselves read "Wang’s Chain Hotel," with four slightly smaller characters beneath: "Xinpings Branch."

Clearly, the identity of this building was already self-evident.

Years had passed. The Wang’s Grand Hotel, which had originally been built only to entertain in-laws, had long since grown far beyond its former scale, and even the "Wang’s Grand Hotel" brand itself had evolved from a single hotel into a group company focused primarily on the hotel industry. Branches of Wang’s Grand Hotel had opened one after another.

This hotel located in Xinping Town was one of the branches under Wang’s Grand Hotel.

At this moment.

Inside the hotel lobby, several women in standard hotel uniforms were standing at the customer service desk, smiling as they helped new guests check in.

Among the group of women, one person’s temperament stood out especially. At first glance she was like a delicate flower reflected in water, looking pitiful and frail, stirring an involuntary sense of tenderness and protectiveness in others.

This woman was, of course, Qing Ji, whom we had not seen for a long time.

As one of the trusted disciples under the Chi Mei Demon Envoy, Qing Ji’s psychological resilience was actually pretty good. Although she had been flustered at the beginning, once she learned that her Master couldn’t spare the time to deal with her for the moment, she quickly pulled herself together, working hard to adapt to her new identity: pretending to be a "fallen noble young lady" while quietly probing the situation around her.

After some time, she gradually got used to it.

Efficiently registering a guest, handing over the room card, then moving on to the next one—her movements were very practiced and orderly.

Unnoticed, the sky outside had already turned completely dark, and the customer flow in the hotel had lessened significantly, leaving only one or two scattered people still checking in.

Only then did Qing Ji finally have a breather, and she couldn’t help rubbing her cheeks.

After smiling all day, her face was on the verge of freezing up.

"Tired, huh?" A warm-hearted colleague beside her noticed and showed concern, reminding her in passing, "Perfect timing, it’s quitting time anyway. Hurry and clock out. Go grab something to eat while you can, then head to night school early. If you go late, you won’t get a good seat."

Prompted by this reminder, Qing Ji finally remembered that she still had a tough battle to fight tonight.

Her expression grew serious as she nodded. Too tired to bother with politeness, she said, "Alright~ I’ll head out first then."

After tidying up her things, she left the hotel, grabbed a quick bite somewhere nearby, and then immediately returned to the hotel.
