Chapter 348: Feihuang Oversees the State

Within the Gu Lei Kingdom, Nan Feihuang sat upon the king's throne, which symbolized the highest status in the nation, and was processing memorials.

"Huang'er, take a rest; your injuries haven't fully recovered yet," Lan Xue advised.

She had returned to the Gu Lei Kingdom not long ago, and seeing that Nan Feihuang had essentially regained his spirits, all the worries in her heart were completely set aside.

Feihuang also sighed that it was truly the legendary strongest Immortal Herb, Acacia Heartbroken Red; even just the medicinal power transferred over was so incredibly potent.

Although his injuries had not completely healed, they were no longer a serious concern. With the self-healing ability of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, it would not take long for him to fully recover, and it would not leave behind any hidden ailments.

It was just that during this period, he was temporarily unable to use his soul power, so Feihuang shifted to administrative duties and began to oversee the state in the name of the Crown Prince.

Just like Xue Qinghe, all state affairs of the Gu Lei Kingdom were now placed on his desk.

As for his father, he had gone into seclusion.

Through this incident, Nan Tianchen sensed the turbulence on the continent and foresaw the crises that might arise in the future.

As his son's cultivation grew deeper and the national strength of the Gu Lei Kingdom gradually increased, they would also begin to be slowly targeted by stronger forces.

This time, it was only a Level 95 Super Douluo who came to assassinate Nan Feihuang; once war broke out, there would certainly be more than one Title Douluo-level opponent.

Therefore, he also had to step into the rank of Title Douluo as soon as possible. Although Nan Tianchen did not mind "living off his wife," as the King of Gu Lei, he also hoped that his own shoulders could bear some of the pressure for his wife and son.

Thus, after handing over all authority to Nan Feihuang, he took the Blood Bead and soul bone his son had sent him and found a place to conduct deep seclusion.

It was estimated that this would take at least several years.

"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury. With my constitution, it won't take long to recover. Anyway, since I can't use my soul power right now, I might as well handle state affairs properly. With Father in seclusion, there are so many things in the country that can't go unattended," Nan Feihuang laughed.

He had Xun Yu, and he also had the methods of governing a country from the Dunjia Heavenly Book; handling state affairs was not a difficult task for him.

"Alright, then you must be careful not to overwork yourself." Hearing him say this, Lan Xue, aside from offering a little persuasion, let him be.

"My Lord, this is the gift list sent by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as well as the congratulatory gifts I have drafted. Please take a look." Xun Yu walked over with the list. Lan Xue had asked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for three girls to marry three of their nation's talents.

She had originally intended for those three girls to simply be married in, without even giving Ning Fengzhi any betrothal gifts.

But Ning Fengzhi did not think so; he prepared to make this political marriage as formal as possible. Even if the Gu Lei Kingdom did not provide betrothal gifts, the dowry from his side had to be absolutely generous.

He wanted everyone in the world to know that his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had formed a marriage alliance with the Gu Lei Kingdom, and that both sides had turned from enemies into friends. Although they no longer had Bone Douluo, now the Profound Ice Douluo and the Poison Douluo had become in-laws of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

One had to say, this fellow knew how to climb up the pole.

To be the head of a sect, his face was indeed "thick enough to carry all things."

In fact, as long as one was from a high-level force, anyone could see that these three collateral-line girls were, just like the five soul bones and one billion Gold Soul Coins, in the nature of war reparations.

Lan Xue had no desire to have any marital ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect encountered a disaster one day, she could probably watch it while eating melon and smiling. Ning Fengzhi doing this could only fool ordinary people.

As for why Nan Feihuang did not refuse, firstly, it was for Jia Kui and the others; after all, it was their first time taking a wife, and if it were not formal, it would be a grievance to them. Secondly, it was because those three young women, regardless of the form in which they married into the Gu Lei Kingdom, represented that they were already people of the Gu Lei Kingdom.

What did the grudges between Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Nan Feihuang have to do with them? Forced to marry into Gu Lei, if he didn't treat them a little better, how could he make them develop a sense of belonging?

Therefore, Nan Feihuang not only accepted the dowry given by Ning Fengzhi but also added a wedding gift to be sent to the three seniors and their new wives.

The nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire learned of this and praised Nan Feihuang one after another for understanding etiquette, knowing how to advance and retreat, and having a broad and benevolent mind.

His actions also won the favor of Jia Kui, Xing Daorong, and Pan Feng.

Jia Kui was fine, as he was the heir to a large sect force, but Xing Daorong and Pan Feng were truly grassroots.

Because their talent was quite good, they were recruited into a branch of the Gu Lei Royal Academy, and after being valued by the Elder and Nan Feihuang, they participated in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, won the championship, and only then obtained noble titles from the kingdom.

They never dreamed that people like them would one day be able to marry women from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; even if they were only from a collateral line, it made them feel incredibly excited.

Moreover, Feihuang even attached such importance to their wedding.

The grace of teaching, the grace of recognition, plus the three great favors of helping them take wives left the two with no way to repay him. In these past few days, they had already come to the palace to express their gratitude several times.

Nan Feihuang finished reviewing the gift list and nodded, saying, "Wenruo, just proceed according to what you have drafted. I have never had any doubts about your ability."

"Yes!" Receiving the order, Xun Yu immediately went down to make arrangements.

Just as he left, Dian Wei immediately walked in, "My Lord, an Elder of the Spirit Hall, His Excellency Snake Spear Douluo, requests an audience outside."

"His Excellency Snake Spear? He came for the right reason; it's for Xue Jie." Nan Feihuang understood as soon as he thought about it. Snake Spear Douluo certainly did not come on his own initiative but was acting under the orders of Qian Renxue. He immediately stood up and said, "Invite him in quickly!"

Before long, Snake Spear Douluo, led by Dian Wei, stepped into the palace.

"Long time no see, General Flying. Since our parting in the Star Dou Great Forest, several years have passed. Your current strength and bearing are both worthy of praise," Snake Spear Douluo said with a smile upon seeing Nan Feihuang. His words were not out of flattery, but from the heart.

The current Nan Feihuang was dressed in the formal attire of a Crown Prince, his face handsome and his bearing noble. Although he was seriously injured, the faint aura of a powerhouse emanating from him showed no signs of weakening.

Once his injuries recovered, his cultivation would likely make even further progress.

Snake Spear Douluo had to admit that this man was one of the few on the continent who truly deserved to be with their Young Master.

"Your Excellency is too kind. You traveled all the way from the Spirit Hall to our country today; I wonder what important matter brings you here?" Nan Feihuang asked.

Snake Spear Douluo took a small golden bottle from his bosom and said, "My Young Master learned of your injury and has been worried in her heart. She specifically ordered me to bring the sacred medicine from the Offering Hall to assist you in your recovery. Please accept it, Crown Prince Feihuang."
