I have trafficked eight legitimate princesses and consider myself a master who cares for his subordinates with meticulous, exhaustive attention. I am so impressed with myself that I could bow down to my own brilliance. Surely, it is a blessing for my subordinates to have such a wonderful City Lord.
Because I made promises to the Crown Prince regarding those precious seed resources, the entire Feng Imperial Dynasty has been treating me with the utmost respect. News of my ability to provide information on various invaluable resources spread like wildfire. In an instant, I became the most popular person in the imperial court, even a benefactor to the entire Kingdom. I kept mentioning, "It’s a pity it hasn't rained. Once the rain comes and we have those seeds, within two years, the Feng Imperial Dynasty will become the supreme power in this world, without equal." The ministers all agreed that I made a valid point.
Strangely enough, not long after, the Feng Imperial Dynasty was struck by a torrential downpour. And it was raining across the entire country. Suddenly, the sycophants were even more professional and proactive than I was. Memorials arrived from all over, overflowing with good news. Even I, an expert in flattery, couldn't find an opening to join in.
