60: Chapter 60 Loyalty! Intruder or Bully?

Xu Xuan, who was about to rest, suddenly heard that someone had occupied his territory.

Soaking in the pool, he raised an eyebrow.

Who was so bold as to dare occupy his turf?

After all, the lords in this nearby area had all been cleared out by him; they either stayed to serve as dogs or were directly beheaded.

The large swaths of vacant land now nominally belonged to Xu Xuan.

Foreign enemies had invaded this area. Interesting!

"Daji."

Just as Xu Xuan spoke, a mist passed through the crack in the door and condensed into a human form.

"Great King, what are your orders?"

Su Daji lowered her head, her eyes filled with such charm that it was almost palpable.

"Enemies have stepped onto our turf. Go investigate, but do not alert them."

Lying in the bath, Xu Xuan calmly gave the order.

"Great King, please leave it to your humble servant."

As she spoke, Su Daji turned into a puff of white mist and vanished.

Below the Floating Island, a white fox dashed through the woods, using its form as camouflage to begin searching for invaders within the territory.

Meanwhile, the other subordinate lords also received the news.

These newly acquired koreans servants, including Jung Jae-soo and his group, were gathered together to discuss.

"There are actually invaders. Shouldn't we show off a bit in front of the Suzerain?"

Jung Jae-soo looked excited; he might not be able to beat orcs.

But turning his weapons back to beat up his own compatriots? That was no problem at all!

He couldn't beat the orcs, but could he not handle pinning his own countrymen to the ground and thrashing them?

While they were discussing, a white fox scurried past them.

Seeing a fox, Jung Jae-soo immediately picked up his bow and arrow to aim.

But just as he aimed his attack at the white fox...

Hiss!!!

Jung Jae-soo felt a sharp pain in his head, reaching deep into his soul, so agonizing that he clutched his head and crouched down.

A warning window popped up before his eyes.

[You are attacking the Suzerain's Divine General. One warning issued. Penalty: Headache.]

This was the power of the Master-Servant Agreement; as long as they committed any violation, the system would begin punishing their bodies and souls.

Having lost their autonomy, they couldn't even rebel. Any thought of rebellion would result in a tearing pain from the depths of their souls.

The sensation was so painful that Jung Jae-soo broke into a cold sweat. He gasped for breath for a long time before recovering.

The other surrounding lords also asked in panic, "Senior Jung Jae-soo, what's wrong?"

"Oppa, are you okay? Oppa, don't scare me."

Facing his companions' concern, Jung Jae-soo stood up and waved his hand. "It's nothing. That fox that just ran past was actually the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Su Daji from myths and legends."

koreans might not know Chi You, Xing Tian, or Nvba.

But when it comes to the Nine-Tailed Fox, whether they are from Great Xia, South Korea, or are japanese people, they would certainly know.

The legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox is renowned across all three countries.

Only then did everyone realize with shock that the creature disguised as an ordinary white fox was actually the famous Nine-Tailed Fox!

Jung Jae-soo explained further, "I mistook the Nine-Tailed Fox for a wild fox just now and was punished by the Vassal Agreement. As long as we have any thoughts of harming the Suzerain, the system will punish us."

"So everyone, don't harbor any delusions. The Suzerain now holds the power of life and death over us; we are bound here for life."

At this moment, Jung Jae-soo kept explaining to those around him, making them understand the importance of obedience.

This Jung Jae-soo was indeed very good at putting on a show. Xu Xuan could actually hear everything he said.

Xu Xuan could check on his vassals' situation through a screen at any time; they had no privacy at all.

However, Xu Xuan was very satisfied with Jung Jae-soo's display of loyalty.

Soaking in the pool, Xu Xuan sneered, "No wonder ancient emperors liked treacherous officials; they know how to please the emperor."

Although he was putting on a show, Xu Xuan needed this kind of performing dog to brainwash the others, saving himself the trouble.

Soaking in the spring, Xu Xuan watched the screen as Jung Jae-soo led the other lords in shouting, "Chungseong! Chungseong! (Loyalty!)"

Xu Xuan nodded with satisfaction; this team needed someone like Jung Jae-soo.

Seeing this, Xu Xuan activated Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission: "Jung Jae-soo."

As Jung Jae-soo was leading his companions in shouting loyalty, Xu Xuan's voice rang in his mind.

Terrified, he immediately knelt on the ground and bowed toward the Floating Island.

Though he appeared terrified on the outside, Jung Jae-soo was secretly delighted.

His loyalty had caught the Suzerain's attention, and he had received the Suzerain's affirmation.

Jung Jae-soo cheered inwardly, secretly pleased.

"Suzerain, what are your orders?"

Xu Xuan's voice rang in his head again: "There is a koreans lord named Kim Yong-jun nearby who has secretly occupied my turf. Are you familiar with this Kim Yong-jun?"

Faced with Xu Xuan's inquiry.

Jung Jae-soo froze as countless images flashed through his mind.

A high school campus, a chair smeared with Super Glue.

A deserted alley in the high school, where a classmate poured milk over his head.

Countless scenes of being bullied by classmates flashed through Jung Jae-soo's mind.

His face twitched, and he cursed under his breath, "Shibal, that damn dog..."

"I asked you a question. Do you know him?" Xu Xuan's majestic voice rang in his mind.

"Ah! Suzerain, I know that guy. He was my high school classmate."

Jung Jae-soo immediately replied respectfully.

"Even though he's my classmate... at the risk of sounding pathetic, that Kim Yong-jun used to bully me constantly in high school. He pulled down my pants in front of girls, poured milk on my hair..."

Hearing Jung Jae-soo's answer, Xu Xuan frowned.

Bullying?

Although he often saw such plots in Korean dramas, he didn't expect to encounter it here.

The invader is also a bully. Interesting.

Xu Xuan grinned and asked tentatively, "If I catch him, what kind of revenge would you take on the person who bullied you?"

"I would..."

Jung Jae-soo looked up excitedly, but he quickly calmed down.

He lowered his head and answered cautiously, "I am just the Suzerain's dog. I have no right to deal with this person; everything is up to you, Suzerain."

Hearing Jung Jae-soo's answer, Xu Xuan was even more satisfied.

This kid really knew how to read his mind. Keeping a sensible dog wasn't bad; letting Jung Jae-soo manage these vassals would also save Xu Xuan's own energy.

"Mhm. These lords were originally your subordinates. Now, these thirty-one koreans lords will still be under your unified management."

Having received Xu Xuan's affirmation, Jung Jae-soo was ecstatic, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing three times. Thud, thud, thud.

"Thank you, Suzerain! I will definitely manage these people well, reclaiming fields and mining copper and iron for you!"

Looking at Jung Jae-soo's tearful and grateful expression on the screen, Xu Xuan chuckled inwardly.

Just then, Su Daji's voice rang in Xu Xuan's mind.

[Su Daji: Great King, I've discovered that these people are stealing our wild vegetables and berries, and even secretly mining the open-pit copper ore in our territory!]

Clearly, the Nine-Tailed Fox had already located the invaders.

[Su Daji: Should your humble servant poison their water to make them fall ill?]

To her surprise, Xu Xuan replied, "No, let them dig! The more they dig, the better."

The Great King's answer left Su Daji slightly stunned.

This?
