Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 269 Slapping the Arrogant One in the Face 16

Seeing Pei Che's concerned eyes, Leng Yuexing chuckled and said, "Alright, then let's take the longer route."

Pei Che nodded and took Leng Yuexing's hand, leading her towards the tunnel on the right.

They walked through the tunnel for three days and three nights until they emerged from the last tunnel entrance, where the scene before them astonished them.

No one would have imagined that there would be such a lush and vegetated place inside an extinct volcano.

Looking around, all you see is lush green vegetation, like a green ocean.

The plants are diverse in species and shape, some tall and straight like giant trees, while others are small and delicate, like exquisite works of art adorning the landscape.

The air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, which is refreshing and intoxicating.

"I really can't believe that such a paradise exists in this world," Pei Che said in disbelief.

Their world had been barren for nearly a thousand years, and he had never seen so many natural plants before.

This strengthened his resolve to find the original species.

However, the vegetation here is abundant, so which one is the original species?

Pei Che pointed to the tallest tree in the middle, "Is that the tallest tree the source seed?"

"No, that tree is just tall, but it's not the original species. Come with me."

After Leng Yuexing finished speaking, she pulled Pei Che inside, saying, "The leaves of the Yuanzhong tree are shaped like peach hearts, and the trunk has a slight reddish tinge."

As Leng Yuexing spoke, she carefully observed the plants.

The message the sapling gave him stated that the Child of Heaven initially regarded the plant in the very center as the source seed.

However, after testing, it was discovered that it was not the original species, but just an ordinary plant. It was only after most of the plants were brought back that the original species was finally found.

The original species wasn't very tall. There were many plants here, and Leng Yuexing and Pei Che searched for a whole day but couldn't find it.

The two decided to rest there and continue their search the next day.

Pei Che took out a huge tent from the ring space, and the two went into the tent to rest. They did not come out of the tent until the next morning.

This time, both of them were holding a remote control. It turned out that Pei Che had found an intelligent flying robot in the ring space. They could control the flying robot to find the source seed, which would save a lot of time.

He then took out two recliners and a lot of snacks from the ring space. The two of them lay on the recliners eating snacks while staring at the display screen of the flying robot next to them.

In about a morning, the flying robots had searched most of the area, leaving only a small portion unsearched.

Just as Pei Che was about to cook something delicious for Leng Yuexing, Leng Yuexing suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Found it!"

On the screen was a magnified plant, and just as Leng Yuexing had said, its leaves were heart-shaped and its trunk was slightly reddish.

Having finally found the source seed, the two were quite excited. After eating some bread, they set off towards the location of the aircraft.

It's located on the edge of a lava tunnel, and it takes almost an afternoon to get there.

Pei Che controlled another flying robot that shone a light above their heads, and the two traveled at an extremely fast speed.

Finally, at dusk, they arrived at the place where the source seed was located.

This seed was larger than Leng Yuexing had imagined, standing about two meters tall.

Its branches have already begun to bear fruit, with small, round fruits on them, but they are still some time away from ripening.

In order to bring the source seed back intact, Pei Che controlled the planting robot to put the source seed and the soil on the roots into a large box.

After placing the box into the specially prepared ring space, the two set off on their return journey.

The return trip was very smooth. Having already traveled the same route once, it was much faster to travel it again.

When the two returned, the little white dumpling excitedly jumped onto Leng Yuexing and chirped.

Upon seeing this, Pei Che grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and pulled it off Leng Yuexing's body.

The little white dumpling was being held by Pei Che and didn't dare to move, only looking at him accusingly with its big eyes.

Pei Che placed the white ball on the sofa, and Leng Yuexing asked curiously, "Where did you find it?"

Pei Che's lips twitched upon hearing this. "I also encountered it in the garbage dump."

"In order to avoid attracting attention, I used a flying device to fly over the rocky hill in the garbage area. However, the flying device broke down during the landing. I forced it to stop on the rocky hill and found it gnawing on the rock."

"As I realized my consciousness was fading, I grabbed it and told it to find someone to save me."

"I was just hoping for the best, but I never expected it would actually send someone to rescue me and drag me into the rocky mountain."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing squatted down and ruffled the white ball's long fur. "Thank you so much! You saved Pei Che!"

The little white ball chirped and looked at Pei Che with a smug look in its eyes.

Pei Che pretended not to see it, but a smile appeared on his lips.

The atmosphere on the aircraft was warm and cheerful. Leng Yuexing set the autopilot mode and returned to Zone 1 as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, Han Ye in the Royal Court of Zone One was furious.

Since he declared Leng Yuexing as the sole heir to the throne, he has faced opposition from all the ministers and nobles.

The memorials opposing Leng Yuexing's succession to the throne were piled up like a mountain, but Han Ye didn't even glance at them before throwing them into the trash can beside him.

In order to completely silence those who were gossiping, Han Ye, after careful consideration, decided to convene the largest royal court meeting ever held at dawn the following day.

As soon as the news spread, the entire royal court was plunged into a tense and busy atmosphere.

By the early morning of the following day, as dawn broke, the conference hall in the core area of ​​the royal court was already packed with people and every seat was taken.

All the ministers from District One, as well as those high-ranking nobles who could influence the court, arrived at the venue on time, each with a solemn or puzzled expression on their face.

As Han Ye entered the conference hall and sat in the main seat, the previously noisy discussions abruptly ceased.

At the start of the meeting, the ministers couldn't wait to begin speaking.

They spoke eloquently, listing the many shortcomings of Leng Yuexing. Each problem they listed was like a sharp thorn, piercing Han Ye's heart.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference hall became unusually tense, as if a war without gunpowder was quietly breaking out.

To ensure Leng Yuexing could successfully acquire the source seed and avoid interference from others with ulterior motives, Han Ye did not inform the ministers of this matter, but only listed Leng Yuexing's many outstanding qualities.

However, an elderly minister clearly disagreed, and he said loudly, "Your Majesty! No matter what, Prince Leng grew up in a garbage dump. How can someone raised in such an environment become the king of the Jiuchen Kingdom?"

Han Ye's eyes were dark and unfathomable. "If I remember correctly, you also climbed up from the tenth district. According to you, does that mean you're not qualified to stand here either?"

The elderly minister's face flushed instantly, and he stammered, unable to speak.

"The fact that Leng Yuexing was able to emerge from the garbage dump is enough to prove his excellence!" Han Ye said in a deep voice.

"I wonder if even one person has escaped the garbage dump in the last hundred years?"

The ministers below all shook their heads.

"If you were living in a garbage dump, would you be confident you could escape?" Han Ye asked again.

The ministers shook their heads again.

"Leng Yuexing is the future king of the Jiuchen Kingdom, and that will never change!" Han Ye said in a deep voice without any room for doubt.

"Father! I refuse to accept this!" Han Ze roared. "I am more suited for this position than Leng Yuexing."

These days he sent many people to follow Leng Yuexing in order to obtain the source seed, but without exception, everyone failed.

Now all he can rely on are these ministers who support him. As long as he can get his father to rescind his order before Leng Yuexing returns, he still has hope!

He winked at the ministers behind him, signaling them to continue their objections.

Another wave of fierce opposition arose, and Han Ye's expression grew colder and colder until a clear, cold voice rang out. Han Ye looked towards the door in surprise.

"Father, I'm back." Leng Yuexing and Pei Che walked calmly into the hall, with the hopeful morning sun behind them.
