Chapter 613: Chapter 614 Agriculture Department

The next day, Lin Qian gently covered Ye Xin with a blanket. After washing up and getting dressed, he hurried back to Coastal City to personally handle political affairs.

A whole new alien race group had joined the Huaxia Empire, which was not a trivial matter but an event that caused a national sensation.

The Muling Clan deeply felt the enthusiasm of the citizens of the Huaxia Empire, and the warmth from the Human Clan was so overwhelming that they were taken aback.

Instead of the expected discrimination and humiliation, they were warmly invited into people’s homes.

Of course, there was an element of showing off when these people invited the Muling Clan into their homes.

“This item, called a refrigerator, was an idea proposed by our revered Renhuang Martial Emperor and developed by the Heavenly Art Department. It’s also affordable, so even we common folks can afford it.”

“This invention is absolutely incredible; there’s no need to worry about food spoiling. In the past, we needed Ice-Attribute Soul Martial Artists to help us enjoy cool beverages during the hot days, but now we can manage it all by ourselves.”

“As for the Soul-saving Lamp, you’ll see by tonight.”

The Muling Clan guests were continuously filled with introductions from the Human Clan, finding everything marvelously novel.

Various unique Soul Devices, not for combat but to make everyday life more convenient and comfortable.

Countless strange foods, tasty beyond words, with novel appearances. This included various cuisines from Huaxia and convenient snacks and fast foods.

Everything about the Huaxia Empire challenged the Muling Clan’s understanding, showing them that such a nation could exist in the world.

Many from the Muling Clan, warmly received by the people of the Huaxia Empire and enjoying hot meals, had large tears streaming down their faces, falling into their bowls without awareness as they simply kept eating.

They were endlessly grateful to their hosts, thanking them repeatedly.

Through casual conversations, the citizens of the Huaxia Empire also learned about the past lives of the Muling Clan.

In the western continent, they had a lowly status and were enslaved by strong and fierce alien races to cultivate Spiritual Medicines.

Though they could earn some wealth from cultivating Spiritual Medicines, their lives were still quite miserable.

Their mighty fleets, impressive at first glance, were actually ragtag and near to being decommissioned.

For the Muling Clan, it was common for a large ship to suddenly fracture and sink into the sea, where they would be slaughtered by Aquatic Soul Beasts and some of the Sea Clan.

After all, some races were kind, while others were brutal.

Life at sea was precarious, even for Soul Martial Artists who needed food, but the food they consumed was rich in Soul Power.

Only when reaching a high realm could one sustain oneself without food or nourish oneself with qi.

“Your days of suffering are over now that you’ve become Huaxia People. From now on, live well on this land,” advised an elderly member of the Human Clan to the Muling Clan, “Rest assured, as long as you’re willing to work hard, there will be great rewards. And no matter the race, the Emperor can arrange tasks for you all to be self-sufficient and live better lives.”

Environment influences people, and the current state of stability and prosperity in the Huaxia Empire made everyone there aspire to goodness.

The Muling Clan could clearly feel this from their interactions.

When the appointed time arrived, Mu Houde led his son and the elders of the Muling Clan towards the back garden of the City Lord Mansion.

Following his father, Mu Liangxing felt extremely nervous, and so did the other Muling elders.

After arriving in the Huaxia Empire and understanding it deeper, they realized just how formidable the Huaxia Empire was.

This Empire governed 1,975 territories, encompassing the entire southern domain of the Human Clan.

There was no power in their western continent capable of ruling such a vast territory!

Now, the sovereign of this immense and formidable power was going to meet them personally, which couldn’t help but unsettle them.

Although they had seen Lin Qian before, this would be their first time interacting with him closely.

After entering the courtyard, Mu Houde promptly knelt on one knee: “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Following him, Mu Liangxing and the Muling elders also knelt on one knee in respect.

This was what the officials of the Empire in Coastal City Lord Mansion had taught them before their arrival – never to be disrespectful to His Majesty.

At this moment, Lin Qian turned around, nodding and lifting his hand, “Stand up. Mu Houde, after you take the potion and assimilate it, I shall discuss matters with you all in detail.”

After rising, Mu Houde heard Lin Qian’s instructions, nodded obediently, and proceeded to gulp down the green potion on the table.

The familiar potency of the medicine coursed through his body, visibly healing his injured frame.

Furthermore, the other Muling Clan members, who came with Mu Houde, were witnessing their Clan Leader’s body, initially withered, regain normalcy and vitality. His dull skin regained elasticity, and his once pale hair returned to the unique dark green luster of the Muling Clan.

At that moment, these Muling members realized that what Lin Qian had given their Clan Leader to consume was in fact a Healing Saint Medicine.

“Sit, there’s no need to be tense,” Lin Qian gestured to the dozen Muling members, indicating the prepared seating in the courtyard.

Seeing Lin Qian saying so, the Muling people also took their seats, looking at him with remaining doubts.

Clan Leader Mu Houde had already told them before coming that Lin Qian had summoned them to discuss certain matters.

Thus, they all wondered what these matters could be that required Lin Qian to personally discuss with them, especially since the Muling Clan had just joined the Huaxia Empire. Could they be entrusted with a significant responsibility?

Lin Qian remained silent, quietly waiting for Mu Houde to recover from the medicine before speaking, “Everyone here is of high esteem within the Muling Clan and practically manages the affairs of the Muling people. My policy has always been to state the desired results while the process is left to you. Hence, after calling you all here, my hope is that you will lead your people to integrate swiftly into the Huaxia Empire.”

“The Huaxia Empire values self-sufficiency; everyone plays their part, earns their reward, and contributes their strength to the Empire,” Lin Qian addressed the gathered Muling people, pausing before adding, “I plan to establish an Agriculture Department, which you will be responsible for.”

“Agriculture Department?” Many Muling members exchanged glances, bewildered.
