Back in Knox...
"It's been so long since I've taken a bath."
Behind the screen, Hu Tao was using boiling skill with great effort.
Hu Tao was already drenched in sweat, and the magic power in her body was almost depleted.
It was fortunate that she was the reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck. Otherwise, if it was an ordinary person, their magic power would have long been exhausted.
"Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah..."
Hu Tao was panting heavily. She was boiling the water with one hand and wiping the sweat off her red cheeks with the other.
"Alright, it looks like you're going to die soon," Celine said as she turned her body sideways.
Seeing that His Majesty had finally recovered, Hu Tao collapsed onto the ground in an instant. It was too tiring.
"Don't look so exhausted. I'm training your lock bending technique."
"Are you getting more and more familiar with it now?"
Celine smiled lightly. She put on her clothes and slowly walked out from behind the screen. After taking a shower, she could also help Hu Tao familiarize herself with the lock bending technique.
This method was simply killing two birds with one stone.
"Thank... thank you, Your Majesty."
Hu Tao could not hold on any longer. She fell to the ground motionlessly, like a flower that had been destroyed.
"Brother!"
At this moment, Zhang Xue'er entered the bathroom and saw Hu Tao in this state.
"What happened to her?"
Zhang Xue'er was slightly puzzled.
"It's nothing. She just used too much magic power. How's the investigation of the new desert forest going?"
Zhang Yang changed the topic.
"Oh, right, brother. The size of the new desert forest is only ten hectares.
"However, we found traces of other tribes there. I heard from Burton that there is a Explosive Teeth Tribe in the north. I'm planning to attack them now.
"Hence, I came back to ask for your instructions."
Zhang Xue'er spoke excitedly as this was her first battle.
It was also her first time leading troops to battle! She was too eager!
"Explosive teeth tribe?" Zhang Yang tilted his head.
Zhang Xue'er immediately explained the race of the explosive teeth tribe to Zhang Yang.
"A turtle with a barbed shell? Interesting, but are you sure you can win?" Zhang Yang said with a chuckle.
The strength of the attacker was not bad, but as the explosive teeth tribe still occupied the north, it seemed a little immature.
If Zhang Yang went alone, he would definitely be able to take them down immediately.
However, Zhang Yang would not go, at least not at this moment.
Why was he raising his family? It was not because he did not want to do anything himself.
If he had to do everything himself, then why did he need the identity of the emperor?
"Of course, brother! I'm here!"
Zhang Xue'er was afraid that Zhang Yang would look down on her, so she puffed out her chest and raised her head to show her confidence.
Zhang Yang said, "Alright, then I'll allow this battle. However, the leader must be Burton."
As the leader, Burton's experience in leading troops in battle was much better than Zhang Xue'er's.
This was the first time for Zhang Xue'er and she should go and learn, instead of rushing to lead troops.
"... Alright."
At first, Zhang Xue'er was very excited that her brother had agreed, but in the end, the leader was actually Burton.
"Don't be disappointed. You can become the next leader."
Zhang Yang came to Zhang Xue'er's side and used his right hand to lift Zhang Xue'er's chin.
"Alright, then."
Zhang Xue'er almost blushed. Fortunately, her long bangs covered this layer of redness for her.
After watching Zhang Xue'er leave, Zhang Yang also wanted to see how the operation at the top was going.
"Let's go, Hu Tao."
When Zhang Yang passed Hu Tao, he had to use his right hand to lift him up.
The aura on his body could be freely contracted, hence he did not have to worry about hurting the unconscious Hu Tao.
On the ground...
The moment Zhang Yang came out, he breathed in fresh air and directly threw Hu Tao over his right hand into the small pool.
This was dug by Zhang Xue'er herself and used for her bath.
Perhaps it was because of her bloodline, her lifestyle was more inclined toward cleanliness.
Splash!
Hu Tao successfully fell into the water.
"Save me, Your Majesty! I don't know how to swim!"
Hu Tao's initially exhausted body suddenly regained its strength.
"Oh right, I almost forgot."
Zhang Yang had even forgotten that Hu Tao did not know how to swim.
Hence, he picked Hu Tao up. The poor Hu Tao's body had long been drenched by the water.
As they were in a desert and the weather was hot, the clothes that Hu Tao wore were relatively light and thin.
Coupled with being soaked by the water, the dark red blob on her body was faintly discernible.
The body that belonged to a young girl's aura was fully displayed, but it was a pity that it was too small.
"Ah!"
Hu Tao also noticed this. Her face, which was already dyed red, became even redder.
"What are you hiding?" Zhang Yang pretended to be disdainful.
In fact, her heart was beating faster, as if she was already old enough to get married.
Seeing that Zhang Yang did not care at all, Hu Tao seemed to be at a loss.
Did Grandma say that those high-level cultivators liked to do that kind of thing with human girls?
"Hurry up and change your clothes. Although it's easy to dry in the desert, don't catch a cold."
Zhang Yang opened the invisible barrier to shield Hu Tao. In fact, all his eyes were on Hu Tao.
He was not a pervert. He just wanted to see what was special about the reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck.
That was right as it was just like that.
"But Your Majesty, I..."
Hu Tao's face was red.She did not know what to say.
'You're staring at me, so how am I supposed to change my clothes!'
Three minutes later...
White steam seemed to be coming out of Hu Tao's head.
It was not just Hu Tao but it came from above the supreme stars.
A goddess with wavy golden curly hair who emitted a dazzling light frowned slightly.
Then, her white teeth and red lips moved slightly as she thought to herself, 'Damn hooligans!'
Zhang Yang had no idea what had happened to the gods in the sky. In any case, he already had a feast for his eyes.
"Did you come up with the idea of raising horned lizards?"
Zhang Yang saw that Hu Tao's face was still red, so he could only divert her attention.
"Yes, Your Majesty. When we were in the village, we raised some simple magical beasts to store food.
"This way, we don't have to take the risk of going out to hunt."
Hu Tao's attention was successfully diverted by Zhang Yang. He recalled the memories of his childhood in the village.
It was just that... the village should have been destroyed by that Lord. Was it because of this that he tried his best to become stronger?
"Well done." Zhang Yang praised Hu Tao a little.
When he heard His Majesty's praise, Hu Tao became a little embarrassed.
She was embarrassed just now because she was shy, but now she was even more shy.
The attackers piled up in small sand dunes nearby, which was their home.
However, most of the sand dunes were outside the forest.
After all, the sand dune attackers were more suitable to live in the desert.
They came to the desert forest only to hunt other animals here.
"Your Majesty!"
The raiders who were busy taking care of their children all said respectfully when they saw Zhang Yang's posture.
"You guys do your own thing, and don't worry about me."
Zhang Yang responded and brought Hu Tao to the side of the lake.
Boom!
Chuan quickly drilled out from the bottom of the lake after feeling Hu Tao's aura.
"Your Majesty!" Chuan said.
