Chapter 303: 162: Famous General (Seeking Recommendation Votes, Monthly Tickets)
“That weird lady was so scary.”
“Yes, yes, her presence was terrifying, just like the evil stepmother of Snow White.”
The senior sister used the Gate of Avalon to return directly to the Avalon World, holding Cat Sisi in one arm and carrying Little Xiong Duoduo in the other.
Ham Pin Sanlang was standing on Duoduo’s head, holding his chest and taking a long breath of relief.
“Bad woman, bad woman…”
The fairies expressed their dissatisfaction with Micia, feeling she was very much like the villainous queen in fairy tales, a major antagonist.
She was like the exact opposite of a princess, too frightening.
“Be careful what you say about other Masters of Miracles behind their backs, little ones, or she might hear you.”
“Sorry.”
The three little ones scrunched up their noses and hung their heads in reflection.
“Alright, go play, you’ve worked hard.”
Duoduo and Pin Sanlang brought out a lot of stored food samples, and Cat Sisi turned them into delicious dishes for Micia and Morgan to taste.
Morgan wasn’t much interested, but Micia was, and quite a lot at that.
After eating many delicacies, Micia remarked that her palate had become too refined, nearly unable to enjoy her previous diet, ‘How about we set our first trade for a week from now?’
‘Okay.’
The senior sister agreed with Micia, a small matter that Yatun was only too happy to have happen sooner rather than later.
If Yatun could make the Masters of Miracles around the world depend on its crops, then Yatun would surely become the largest agricultural exporter.
It would sustain the dining needs of nearly 100 countries in Miracle Mainland.
When Yatun grew strong, it would open up its seeds for cultivation in various nations, squeezing out inferior crops and monopolizing the market.
By then, Yatun might truly become invincible in a certain sense.
“You’re back?”
Bailuo had been waiting for his senior sister, and as soon as he saw her return, he hurried forward.
“Yes.”
The senior sister walked towards Bailuo, and seeing that her uncle wasn’t there, only Bailuo, she found a place to sit down, crossed her legs, and assumed the typical authoritative lady’s posture.
“You’ve worked hard, really hard.”
Bailuo understood what his senior sister meant, and with a knowing smile, he massaged her legs and shoulders, praising her continuously, “Truly worthy of being the Queen of our Yatun, confronting the Deep Sea King and charming the Immortal Hawk Duke. Impressive, impressive.”
“Don’t, don’t touch that.”
The senior sister blushed from Bailuo’s touch and wanted to stop him, but she didn’t want him to misunderstand.
Resigning herself, she let Bailuo do as he pleased.
The formidable Queen, just as she assumed her domineering style, instantly lost her temperament and was completely tamed.
“I’m just bluffing with the support of others.”
The senior sister took out some fine wine and glasses from the private Treasury of Avalon, handed one to Bailuo, and then poured him some wine while enduring his teasing.
“That’s a skill too.”
Seeing this, Bailuo let go of his senior sister, “My senior sister is full of majesty. Besides me, who dares to raise their voice to you?”
He sat across from his senior sister, and the King of Yatun and the Queen began to discuss matters of the state.
“I dare not raise my voice in front of you.”
The senior sister looked at Bailuo with affection and jokingly scolded, “I just put on an act, and you bully me.”
“I’ll pay attention next time, next time I’ll let you finish your act.”
The two teased each other for a while before getting down to business.
“Now at the Second Awakening, if we really fight, I am still largely even with the Deep Sea King.”
“However, he is just a Child of Miracle, not a Master of Miracles.”
After saying this, the senior sister sought Bailuo’s opinion, “I plan to start a retreat from now and break through to the Third Awakening as soon as possible.”
“Without me, Feiya, you are currently the pinnacle of Yatun’s military strength.”
Bailuo said, “Now that Immortal Hawk and Morgan have formed an alliance with us, the powers near us are the Thorns and the White Birch Tree to the north, the King of the Eastern Sea to the east, and the lady Archduke to the southeast, along with The Four Brilliant Dukes.”
Therefore, in terms of diplomacy, Yatun Duchy has just barely resolved the issues to its west and south.
The north and east still belong to uncharted territory.
Yet, diplomacy is the choice of a weak nation, but also the most helpless thing.
As the old saying goes, a weak nation has no diplomacy.
In any world, only one’s own strength is fundamental.
“Yatun’s affairs can be handled by me and your uncle, you can focus on increasing your strength.”
Yatun is unlikely to have any more wars soon. Isefia is responsible for national defense, serving a role similar to that of a Great Marshal of the armed forces.
Only she has the authority to represent Bailuo and command the entire army.
This is a fact that everyone in Yatun is able to accept and acknowledge.
However, having the senior sister take on so much seems like putting the cart before the horse.
The senior sister should properly comprehend the world’s laws of Avalon and fully unify her will with that of Avalon as soon as possible.
Often, the security of a nation does not only depend on the size of its army but also on the deterrence of high-end military forces.
Especially the strength of the Miracle Entity is crucial.
“How long will you need?”
“Daily, I can set aside three-quarters of my time.”
The senior sister’s retreat naturally does not mean locking herself away.
She means to set aside her other tasks and develop Avalon whenever she has the time.
Therefore, the remaining quarter of the day is when the senior sister fulfills her duties as a wife.
“Um…”
Bailuo awkwardly asked, “What I meant was, how long will it take in total?”
The senior sister thought Bailuo was being clingy, but was Bailuo the type to be impatient?
Bailuo: Do you believe I can endure for a year, no, half a year!
“Probably,” the senior sister said, “fast would be half a year, slow would be one year.”
The senior sister was confident that, at the most, in one year she would definitely complete the Third Awakening and become a Crown Legendary.
