Chapter 869: Chapter 27: The Wang Family Gains a Purple Mansion! Cyan Flood Dragon Undergoes Dragon Transformation

...

Under the watchful gaze of Senior Brother Jinshan, Wang Zong’an was looking affectionately at the Longevity Tree.

Since he obtained the Longevity Tree Spirit Species, he had been carefully nurturing and communicating with it, and after advancing to the Celestial Human Realm, he forged it into his Lifebound Spirit Plant.

Having become a Lifebound Spirit Tree, although he couldn’t claim a perfect harmony between them, it was different from ordinary spirit plants. Wang Zong’an could clearly sense its joys, sorrows, and various subtle emotions.

Though she was now only a few meters tall, the time and resources spent on nurturing her were exhausting, even more so than raising children.

"Rustle, rustle~"

In the howling northwest wind of the Great Desert, the Longevity Tree joyfully swayed its leaves, each green as jade, exuding a rich vitality.

The vibrant branches affectionately brushed against Wang Zong’an, just like a young daughter being playful with her father.

"Alright, alright, Yinglu, it’s been tough for you staying in the Earth Bracelet recently." Wang Zong’an comforted the Longevity Tree "Wang Yinglu" with a doting tone, speaking softly as if to a child, "I’ll make sure to treat you to a good meal as compensation."

Wang Yinglu was overjoyed, and the Wood Spirit Qi dispersed again, giving a refreshing sensation with each breath.

Unlike some unhealthy-minded senior brothers in Eternal Spring Valley, Wang Zong’an always treated the young Longevity Tree as his daughter.

He even specially informed his father to give her the name "Wang Yinglu," officially recorded in their family genealogy.

Thinking of those unhealthy senior brothers, Wang Zong’an couldn’t help but glance at Senior Brother Jinshan.

Seeing him staring at Wang Yinglu with a dazed look, Wang Zong’an suddenly became alert, watching Senior Brother Jinshan like guarding against a thief, "Senior Brother Jinshan, I did pay off Senior Sister Lvwei’s debt for you. Given your repeated offenses, kindly keep your distance from my daughter. Otherwise, I’ll bind you up and send you back to Senior Sister."

"Daughter?"

Senior Brother Jinshan looked at Zong’an with a gaze as if he were a freak, amazed. I thought I was perverse enough, but Zong’an, you’re even more...

"Get ten meters away!" Wang Zong’an, usually good-tempered, couldn’t help but erupt under such a gaze, "Dare to come within ten meters of my daughter, and I won’t spare you."

Senior Brother Jinshan shivered and quickly backed off more than ten meters.

Then Wang Zong’an began whispering with the Longevity Tree Wang Yinglu, occasionally giving warning glances at Jinshan.

That expression was just like explaining to a daughter to keep far away from that perverse and creepy guy, and if he dared approach, to hit him without hesitation, if necessary call Dad to come and hit him.

"Rustle, rustle~"

Wang Yinglu swayed her branches, far away, gesturing a disdainful branch sign at Senior Brother Jinshan.

In the distance, Senior Brother Jinshan was almost in tears. Young Master Zong’an, it’s bad enough that you stole our little treasure from Eternal Spring Valley, and now you’re teaching her to disdain me...

Why is my life, Jinshan, full of tragedies?

Zong’an, how can someone like you, blessed with a perfect life, ever understand the bitterness and hardship of my Jinshan?

Just amidst this pause.

Both Prince Anjun Wu Mingyuan and Junior Prince Wu Shengjun gradually snapped out of their shock.

Having made several visits to Eternal Spring Valley for this protective forest, both Wu Mingyuan and Wu Shengjun were certainly familiar with the Longevity Tree.

Good gracious~~ Who would have thought the Wang Family would make such a grand move, even bringing in a Longevity Tree Spirit Plant.

You should know, throughout the entire Daqian Kingdom, only Longzuo Purple Mansion Academy owns a Longevity Tree.

Even in the Nine Sacred Veins of the Saint Land, the Cuiwei Lineage, while surpassing Eternal Spring Valley in many aspects, still falls short in this regard.

"Good, thank you, Young Clan Leader Zong’an, for your generous support." Prince Anjun said with joyous gratitude, "With the support of the Longevity Tree, our protective forest can grow faster, and the survival rate of the seedlings will surely see a significant increase."

Currently, the newly planted seedlings in the protective forest have only about a one-third survival rate. Each protective forest has taken several replantings to barely take shape. This Longevity Tree is truly a big help.

"No need to be formal, Your Highness." Wang Zong’an quickly helped Prince Anjun to his feet, smiling, "Our families are in-laws, supporting each other is naturally the right thing to do. Moreover, my father has decided to support Prince Anjun, and naturally will give it his all. But Yinglu is still young, her Longevity Sky Curtain covers a limited area, so a route needs to be planned for her, and a Spirit Stone Array pre-arranged for her to absorb and replenish."

"Spirit Stone Array?" Prince Anjun’s expression turned solemn, but he immediately said seriously, "Alright, leave this to me, I’ll figure out a way to gather a batch..."

On the side, Junior Prince Wu Shengjun trembled inside upon hearing, his expression unintentionally tense.

Although the Longevity Tree is good, able to greatly accelerate the growth of the protective forest, increase the survival rate, and speed up the formation of an oasis, the cost involves a large amount of Spirit Stone input...

Just thinking about it, Wu Shengjun was already heartbroken with indescribable pain.

Currently, Prince Anjun’s Mansion, due to his father’s pursuit of great ideals, had already exhausted all that could be spent, even much ancestral property had been sold off.

Other than a splendid mansion, Prince Anjun’s Mansion had almost been reduced to an empty shell.
