Chapter 1324 - 789: Just a Little Stronger Than Night Fragrance (Part 2)

Misappropriating the Chamber of Commerce funds would also require 2000 years.

First, lend the 1000-year earnings to White Ivy to accelerate development.

Then White Ivy will pay it back over more than 1000 years.

Calculating the account, there will be delays, but not too many.

"That works. No problem."

Dragon Cypress cheerfully agreed.

Black Peach stepped forward and reported: "Great King, there's also good news, the Soul Constructing Tree Divine-Given Seed has evolved to the Nine Traces Realm..."

...

Reside in the North District 4201 and North District 3202 of the Potato Leaf Star, some stay-at-home territory guardians and rotating Little Warriors also heard the news and rushed over.

There's also a clumsy Assistant King who ran over, surrounded by a small group of Soldier Ants.

The Little Assistant King was rather domineering, charging left and right, squeezing through the insects, arrived in front of Dragon Cypress, stared at Dragon Cypress inquisitively:

"Are you... the Great King?"

Round Cypress hurriedly said: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, this is Twin Robust Birch from the Huagi Star System, a Specialized Worker Ant evolved into. Leader Redwood discovered it, informed us, Giant Cypress and I brought it back over five hundred years ago."

"We arranged for Twin Robust Birch to be stationed in the North District 3202, taking care of the Life Seed Plant there, and also to command the Ant Army for routine patrols."

"Hmm—"

"Diligent Little Assistant King."

Dragon Cypress perfunctorily praised and pointed at Ink Orchid: "This is the Second King, quickly greet."

Twin Robust Birch: "Greetings to the Second King!"

"Ha. Ha."

"No need for formalities!"

Ink Orchid happily waved its tentacles in response.

Round Cypress continued to introduce: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, over at the Azure Star System, there's also an Assistant King that evolved from a Specialized Mountain Ant nurtured early in the years, Twin Rock Birch, born two thousand years ago, currently in the Nine Traces Realm, participating in work. First Group of the Plant Department, under Black Cory's command."

"Wow!"

Ink Orchid exclaimed joyfully, cheering: "Twin Honor Birch, Bicolor Linden Birch, Twin Dragon Birch, Twin Fragrant Birch, Twin Rock Birch, Twin Robust Birch, Fifth Generation Zuo King is complete with six members!"

Ink Orchid: "Then it should be the Sixth Generation Zuo King?"

Dragon Cypress gently swayed its tentacles and said: "Second King, I think the generations of the Assistant Kings should have a slightly longer timespan..."

"For a long time to come, I will not massively cultivate Specialized Ants, so naturally, there will unlikely be new Assistant Kings. This period can just serve as a generational node."

"Existing Specialized Ants, if a new Assistant King appears, will still belong to the Fifth Generation."

"In the future, the Specialized Ants I nurture after I break through and evolve will be classified as the Sixth Generation upon the birth of Assistant Kings."

"Like this? Then it wouldn't be neat..."

Ink Orchid mulled it over and reluctantly agreed: "That works, I guess."

Ink Orchid: "Then next, if another Fifth Generation Assistant King is born, what name should it have, Twin Strong Birch? Twin Sand Birch? Twin Silver Birch?"

Dragon Cypress: "...Second King, it's up to you."

Dragon Cypress: "Let's go! Down the mountain. Let's check out the White Poplar Divine Seed!"

…

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, surrounded by a crowd of insects, listened to work reports while inspecting the territory.

Finally, they arrived together at the lakeside under the Azure Divine Seed Tree, inviting the neighboring Yellow Peach and Fish Vine to join in a grand banquet celebration.

Ink Orchid recounted the experiences of this journey.

"Purple?"

"Has Purple done so well for itself?"

Green Heart was somewhat envious, then asked: "Great Leader Dragon Cypress, when will I be traveling for a journey? Can I visit Color Steel along the way?"

Dragon Cypress: "For the next eight thousand years, I will stay on Xianglan Mountain, honing my abilities while also replacing Round Cypress, Fragrant Cypress, Black Peach in their work."

"Next batch, Round Cypress, Cypress, Black Sophora, Rainbow Parasol Tree, Ghost Fan, Woodberry, Mountain Persimmon, Green Heart, you eight will travel and journey."

"In the following batch, Fragrant Cypress, Giant Cypress, Black Cory, Black Peach, Blue Catalpa, Snakebark Maple, White Rice, Black Rice."

"Then, over at the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce..."

Dragon Cypress turned his head and asked: "Yellow Peach, does Chairman White Ivy have any arrangements?"

Yellow Peach said: "Next batch Silvergrass and Green Peach; following batch Heliotrope and Cicada Seed."

"Hmm. Good."

Dragon Cypress asked again: "And Fish Vine? The following batch after that, go with Column Spotted?"

"No—"

Fish Vine hesitated: "Chairman White Ivy said, generally insects can't take me along; worried I'd get lost. It said to wait until all the trade routes in the Sheep Hoof Armor Star System are established, then it will personally take me to travel."

Dragon Cypress: "...That works too."

Dragon Cypress turned to Ink Orchid, arranging: "Next, I need to reside on Xianglan Mountain, requiring six to eight thousand years to integrate this journey's gains, then breakthrough and advance to the Planet Realm. After the Planet Realm, I won't stay long, I will breakthrough and advance to the Star Realm as quickly as possible."

The insects were stunned.

Ink Orchid questioned: "Directly to the Star Realm? Ant, isn't this too rash?"

Round Cypress also queried: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, why are you suddenly in such a hurry to evolve?"

Dragon Cypress vaguely said: "There's something I need to do, and if my evolution level is too low, I'm afraid I won't be able to accomplish it."

Ink Orchid asked: "Refinement Ability? Special Ability Certification matter? Level 3?"

Dragon Cypress lightly nodded its tentacle, changed the subject: "Ink Orchid, don't rush. You head over to the Azure Star System to reside. Later, when I travel for business, you return to Xianglan Mountain to reside and oversee."

Ink Orchid: "Following Great Leader Dragon Cypress' command!"

Dragon Cypress turned again and instructed: "Tie Bush, Greenstone, Rainbow Mulberry, you three who lack hibernation ability, stay on Xianglan Mountain focusing on understanding abilities, breakthrough, and advance to the Planet Realm."

"Got it!"

"Understood!"

Tie Bush, Greenstone, Rainbow Mulberry agreed.

…

Returning to Xianglan Mountain, there are quite a few things that urgently need handling.

Xianglan Mountain, Fragrant Herb Star System, Fire Pear Star System, Hongdong Star System, all need replenishing with a batch of small, micro Blue Ants.

The Azure Star System also needs a visit, to check the orchard cultivation and how it's managed, it's similarly to replenish the ant colony with a batch of small micro Worker Ants and Blue Ants.
