Chapter 172: The Gift from the King of Aolai (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)_4
"Lad, are you really planning to continue your mission as an envoy?"
King of Aolai advised, "With your qualifications, as long as you return, His Majesty will certainly make good use of you."
"I have been the Master of Miracles for four thousand years, so I can recognize a person's talent. Your future is boundless."
Go back, return to Yatun.
Hailbo longed to become a warrior, to live in Yatun, and then to climb up step by step, becoming a close minister and confidant by Bailuo's side.
But he couldn't because Yatun needed him, Yatun needed an envoy.
If Hailbo went back, and someone else took his place, could that person do a better job than him?
Impossible.
That person would only bring shame to Yatun and cause diplomacy to fail.
Only through this experience did Hailbo truly realize how terrifying diplomacy could be.
This was not simply a matter of being an envoy.
Just the thought of facing more, possibly even mightier Miracle Kings than the King of Aolai in the future nearly stopped Hailbo's heart cold.
"I..."
Hailbo took a deep breath, then looked at the staff by his side, and Cat Lulu.
"I will continue my mission."
The young man made up his mind, "I'm not doing this because I'm brave, but because it's something I can do, something only I can do, and no one can do it better than me."
No matter how perilous the future, no matter how many hardships.
Even through eighty-one ordeals, Hailbo was still determined to go!
This was the future he had chosen...
"Good lad."
King of Aolai smiled, "In the future, you, Hailbo, will certainly have a place among the heroes of the Miracle Mainland."
"You will be the pride of Yatun."
"One day."
King of Aolai, "Yatun will take pride in you."
Such praise from the King of Aolai was truly once in a millennium.
Aolai Kong looked at his father astonished, Princess Susu, along with all of Aolai's Thousands of Monsters, all gazed at Hailbo with envy.
An outsider received the acclaim that even their own people had not received.
But were they jealous?
At the age of thirteen, he was sent on a mission to Aolai and faced the eighty-one trials that even they could not endure.
Such a person deserved the King of Aolai's praise.
"From this day on, we of Aolai shall treat Hailbo with respect. He is not your enemy, and none of you may treat him rudely."
"Yes!"
With the Ten Thousand Demons watching, such a display made Hailbo feel honored yet startled.
"Little Tushan."
King of Aolai turned to the Nine-Tailed Fox and said, "Go among your people, select one hundred fox women under the age of twenty, and have Hailbo take them to Yatun."
"As you command."
Tushan departed, and Hailbo asked puzzled, "King of Aolai, what is this...?"
"Since I desire your fairies, naturally, I must also provide something that King Yatun would like."
Bailuo is a man.
There isn't a man who doesn't like beauties.
Moreover, the fox women below the age of twenty have no ties to the King of Aolai, they are here only because of the Miracle born from them.
The King of Aolai felt no particular sentiment toward them.
Withdrawing the Miracle Power and allowing them to change their living environment, in time they would soon be loyal to Bailuo.
This was akin to providing Bailuo with a group of exotic subjects with fox tails and ears.
Why not take delight in such a marriage alliance?
"Additionally, Kong,"
the King of Aolai said, "you go to Wanshou Mountain and fetch two fruits."
Shortly after, Aolai Kong approached Hailbo with two strange objects wrapped in silk.
"What is this, what is this?!"
Hailbo looked at the fruit in astonishment. If he had come from Yatun Village, he would definitely have heard the stories Bailuo used to tell about the Ginseng Fruit.
"This fruit is called Ginseng Fruit, it's one of the miraculous resources from the mountains and rivers, a unique treasure found only on Wanshou Mountain."
"It is difficult to form; sometimes a fruit appears once in over a decade, and sometimes, not even one may be seen in several decades."
"Therefore, I have very few in stock,"
the King of Aolai said. "The Ginseng Fruit itself is extremely delicious, but such a precious thing is somewhat extravagant to eat as a snack."
"Its ability, since you are not one of my citizens, the Miracle Power within the Ginseng Fruit is ineffective on you."
The King of Aolai said, "However, for outsiders, the main effects of the Ginseng Fruit are twofold."
"One is that it can grant eternal life, allowing a person to live for thirty thousand years."
"Three..."
Even the Miracle Citizens weren't immortal,
after all, not everyone could break through the realms of Kings and Legends due to their limited potential.
"However, compared to the second effect, this first ability seems a bit insubstantial,"
the King of Aolai continued, "the fruit can enhance one's potential, not just for my citizens, but for outsiders as well, as long as I permit it."
"Potential?"
"The potential of a Legend."
The King of Aolai said, "by eating one Ginseng Fruit, one can obtain the potential of a Legend."
"It will make your constitution exceptionally superior, able to rapidly receive the graces of the Master of Miracles, and with no bottlenecks, directly reaching the Legendary Realm!"
With the stature of a Legend, who would need eternal life?
No cases of a Legendary Warrior dying of old age have ever been reported.
"Such a precious treasure."
Hailbo did not expect that the King of Aolai would offer something so magnificent.
"The children under my command do not lack potential; it's just that my quota for Legends is full, and even with adequate potential, one cannot breakthrough to the Legendary Realm."
"Thus, it actually doesn't have much use for me anymore."
After the King of Aolai finished speaking, Susu added, "This fruit, when the Heavenly King and the King of the Mountains asked my father for it, he didn't give it to them."
But today, he gave the Ginseng Fruit to Yatun.
The King of Aolai's fondness for Yatun, as well as his attitude toward fostering good relations between the two families, was evident.
"Alright, alright, let's continue drinking, continue drinking!"
Thus, another day of revelry ensued.
A day later, Hailbo departed from Aolai Country, escorted by Aolai Kong.
Joining the departure were 100 fox women, along with a full load of unique goods from Aolai Country.
Of course, it would be too dangerous for Hailbo to return alone.
To protect Hailbo, the King of Aolai specifically dispatched General Ganglie.
His current strength was at the level of a King; though formidable, it wouldn't cause Bailuo any misunderstanding, and moreover, General Ganglie was a renowned naval commander in Aolai Country, making him the ideal guardian for Hailbo's journey to Yatun.
