Chapter 129: The Twelve Kingdoms World

  Under the towering Lingxun Gate that pierced the clouds, Yage unexpectedly ran into many acquaintances in a row, the most eye-catching being King Dai with his hair half white and half black, accompanied by Qilin.

  Yang Zi ascended to the throne not long after, and with the help of Yan Qi's letter to her, she and Yan Qi found Hei Qi Hua Li who had lost her memory and returned to Penglai due to losing her horn. Later, they also helped Tai Wang Zha Xiong Zhong resolve internal strife and return to the throne.

  It was also at this time that Yang Zi understood why Yan Wang Xiaolong had helped her in the first place. Apart from appreciating her character, he was also considering his own country's interests. Just like how Qing Guo could no longer accept refugees from Dai Guo, which was why she was so proactive in this matter.

  Of course, this is also related to her growing up in Japan. In that world, countries are always mutually supportive and loving. And in the Twelve Kingdoms where she doesn't have to worry about other countries invading, Yangzi thinks that national mutual assistance is a pretty good choice.

  Kings will always lose their way, but when kings lose their way, with the help of other kings, the lives of those people will be a little better.

  Now the three countries of Yan, Dai and Qing have signed a mutual assistance agreement, stipulating that even if the kings of the three countries change, they will still lend each other a helping hand. This includes the period without a king and the period when the new king takes office and rebuilds the country.

  Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw Yang Zi and Ya Ge in front of him, and he quickly walked over: "Yang Zi, you guys are here too?"

  "Hmm." Nodding her head, Yoko asked, "How did you and Kōri also come?"

  Qiao Guo and Dai Guo are not adjacent, and Zha Xiang Zong has no big reason to come to the Yellow Sea at this time.

  "Hao Li wants a ride, so I made an appointment with Shang Long." Zha Xiangzong sighed, "But Shang Long hasn't arrived yet, probably he can't escape the siege of Wu Mou's three people."

  "Xiao Zong, speaking ill of others behind their backs is not the behavior of a decent person." A lazy voice cut in, "I was just going to pick up a friend so I'm a bit late, do you have to scold me like this?"

  "What I said is true or false, everyone here knows it clearly, Shang Long." Zha Xiangzong hooked the corner of his mouth and said with a cold expression.

  "Sixth Aunt, have I really failed as a person?" Shang Long furrowed his brow and looked at the 13 or 14-year-old boy wrapped in a headscarf beside him.

  "You know yourself best." Muttering to himself, Yan Qi took out a peach and started eating it, ignoring him.

  After a long silence, Shang Long sighed and made a helpless gesture: "Alright, alright, it's all my fault. Is that enough? Come, let me introduce you to him." He pulled over the man in blue robes beside him, "This is Li Guang, also known as Zhuo Lang Jun, the second prince of Nan Guo."

  Then, he introduced the people of Yage to Li Guang. Li Guang greeted several people one by one, and finally his gaze fixed on Yage: "So this is the famous Taibao of Qingguo, I've long admired him."

  Yang Zi followed and looked at Ya Ge together: "Ya Ge, I didn't know you were so famous?!"

  Even when this horse armor was twenty years old, Ya Ge had given himself the name "Ya Ge", and now people who are relatively close to him use this word to call him.

  She glanced at her and said lightly, "Except for Jinbo Palace, I only go to Huang Hai. How would I know if there's a name?" If Yangzi hadn't brought only two female officials who didn't understand martial arts with him this time, and wasn't willing to bring a few more messengers, he wouldn't have bothered to follow her on this trip.

  Yage didn't show mercy and made Li Guang embarrassed, touching his nose.

  This Taibao of Qingguo was quite famous among the upper echelons of various countries, with a cold and stern demeanor. In a short period of time, he purged the imperial court and grasped real power in his hands. At that time, there were still people who thought he would be the second Jinggong, but instead, he unhesitatingly handed over the power in his hands to King Jing, bit by bit.

  An official like him, who is not greedy for power and has ability, is the kind of minister that a king yearns for. Unfortunately, this one either stays in Jinbo Palace or runs to Huang Hai, even if they want to dig a corner, they can't find anyone.

  "Everyone, long time no see." A warm and gentle voice broke the somewhat stagnant atmosphere in this corner.

  Yang Zi turned her head to look, it was Le Jun dressed as a mouse: "Le Jun... are you okay?" Originally she had hoped that Le Jun could come to Qing Guo to be an official and help her, but in the end he chose to teach at a university in Yan Guo. It wasn't unexpected for Yang Zi that he would show up here today, probably the people gathered here were most concerned about whether Tong Que could elect a king, which was him as a clever country person.

  "I'm not bad." Hu Xu shook his beard, and Le Jun led the riding beast closer. "I didn't expect to run into you all here, and everyone's together." He turned his head to look at Ya Ge, "What I least expected was that you, Ya Ge, would actually follow Yang Zi over."

  Yangzi didn't want to bring many attendants, and the generals of the Forbidden Army were too busy to appear here inopportunely, so I could only follow you. Otherwise, do you think Jing Qi would let these three girls out? Yage said calmly, causing the three girls beside him to reveal awkward smiles.

  Xiang Qiong slightly lowered her eyes, she had always known that Asano-sama was no match for the master, so she would persuade the master to let Asano-sama accompany them to Huang Hai. With this lord present, even if it were the most untrustworthy Taifu, he wouldn't worry, because his martial arts skills could be said to be the first in Qing Guo, and Taifu's several messengers had all been brutally suppressed by Asano-sama, not daring to approach him casually!

  A few more pleasantries were exchanged, and finally the time came for the Xunmen Gate to open. After the Guardian Spirit Beast appeared, the gate slowly opened. The soldiers inside the gate and those waiting outside exchanged shifts; having lived in the bloody and intense environment within the gate for a year, the soldiers had almost reached their limit.

  The crowd followed the flow of people and slowly walked into the Lingshen Gate. As soon as they stepped in, Huang Hai Ya Ge smelled that familiar bloody smell. The sky above Huang Hai always gave people a special feeling of height, with endless yellow sand, occasional small patches of forest, and demons flying by from time to time.

  Here, and the other twelve countries are completely different places.

  Yang Zi had been to Penglai Mountain in the middle of the Yellow Sea, but she had always passed by from above the sea of clouds. This was her first time experiencing the Yellow Sea up close.

  "None of you four have been to the Yellow Sea before, so be sure to follow orders, got it?" Shang Long instructed Yang Zi and the three girls, as well as Le Jun. The Yellow Sea was indeed too treacherous, even he couldn't guarantee that they could pass through safely without a hitch.

  A few people chose a different route from the other mountain climbers, after all, there were three kings and two qilins among them, and it was not quite suitable to be with those people. Besides, their main purpose was to catch the riding beast, and watching the qilin ascend the mountain was secondary.

  Le Jyun said he was more concerned about the latter, but since he had traveled with several people, he had already made preparations.

  No matter whether it's Xiangqiong or Huili, the riding beast they want is Zouyu. The place where Zouyu lives is relatively deep in the Yellow Sea. Shanglong had come to the Yellow Sea many times to catch Zouyu, and Zhaixu was also encountered by Taotie when catching Zouyu, establishing a deep friendship with Taiki.

  Several people went straight to Zou Yu's location, but even if they sped up, they would still have to camp on the Yellow Sea.

  Sitting by the bonfire, several girls were giggling and chatting about something. Two qilins huddled together, Shanglong, Zhaixu, and Ligang chatted casually. Yage, who had been meditating with her eyes closed for a moment, stood up and walked slowly to Lejun's side, who was staring at the bright moon in the sky.

  "Is he worried that Taizong won't be able to choose a king?"

  "Hmm, Jyuu Kok has reached the point where it can't wait any longer." Rokuta nodded. The more than 40-year period of vacancy without a king had brought Jyuu Kok close to complete collapse; if not for the special circumstances of the Twelve Kingdoms, such a country would have been abandoned in another world.

  "Have you ever thought of becoming the new King of Tonga?"

  Le Jun shook his head: "Although the Heavenly Emperor allows the existence of half-beasts, in the history of the Twelve Nations, there has never been a precedent for a half-beast to become king. I came this time just to take a look. I only hope that the Heavenly Emperor's punishment on Qiao State can end here."

  He dreams of returning to Qiao Guo, his own country. But the current situation in Qiao Guo is not suitable for a half-beast like him who has no power. Even those merchants who pursue interests have gradually given up on Qiao Guo. If Taotie still can't elect a king, I don't know how long those Qiao Guo officials who support the fake court can hold on.

  She patted his shoulder and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I also hope that the king can choose a good successor. Although Haohan and others didn't say anything on the surface, they were actually dissatisfied with Yangzi's acceptance of refugees from Qiaoguo in private. And that Zhelan Jun from Zuonan country, he must have come here with Shanglong for this reason too."

  The Twelve Nations now have no king except for Chou, which is considered an object of attention for many monarchs.

  "It would be great if we could just choose a king." Le Jun murmured.

  Pengshan, in the majestic side hall, a young man with a cold expression, about 17 or 18 years old, looked restless, occasionally walking to the window and gazing at the incomplete moon hanging in the air.

  "Kaito, what's wrong?" A white, female monster with horns on her head, eagle wings and the lower body of a leopard emerged from his shadow, embracing him from behind.

  "My heart is beating so fast, Min-soo." With his hand on his chest, Taekyung slightly furrowed his brow. "I keep feeling like something from the Yellow Sea side is calling me, has my king come?"

  The female monster named Yinlin knew that what Tong Que needed was not her answer, so she just hugged him tightly.

  "Min Yin, I thought I couldn't choose the king." Tong Qian lowered his head and whispered in a soft voice that only the female monster beside him could hear, "My previous Tong Lin was so powerful but still couldn't choose the king, I..."

  "You've worked hard enough, Jang-geum." said Mok-yi.

  Although Tianyu Qí was not as good as the previous pure white Tianyu Lín, he was much stronger than Liu Qí who had just left Penglai Mountain two years ago. Although Tianyu Qí did not subdue legendary demons like Tàotè to become his vassals, the large number of vassals he had was enough to make other Qílín sigh in admiration.

  And his envoy is not just about quantity, but also of good quality.

  "I've always been afraid, afraid that I wouldn't be able to choose the king." Kong Que raised his head, his face hesitant. "But now it seems like I've felt it, Jin Yin, what should I do?"

  "Are you going to take a look, Tong Qi?" Min Yin followed Tong Qi's gaze towards the Yellow Sea, "Go into the Yellow Sea, go to that place that calls to you."

  The author has something to say: The next chapter is about Taro coming to find Yaka!

  The predecessor, Tang Lin, was so pitiful. When Yage came to the Yellow Sea to practice her skills against demons, she happened to be elsewhere searching for her king; after Yage returned to Jinbo Palace, it was impossible for her to go there... So, she spent her entire 30-year life like this and missed her king!
