130: You can't imagine the joy of having connections.

After crushing the "Architect" and cleaning up the network environment, Yun Feng's slacker days became increasingly comfortable. Today, he was guiding his newly accepted "Named Disciple"—the lucky player Long Aotian Ben Ao, who had now changed his name to "Long Qianyuan"—practicing the most basic Chaos Mother Qi breathing technique on a floating island on the outskirts of the Cloud Court.

"Sink your consciousness into your Qi Sea and draw in that wisp of Chaos Mother Qi. Don't puff on it like you're smoking a dry pipe; let it flow like a gentle stream, understand?" Yun Feng lay on a lounge chair nearby, squinting his eyes, holding a cup of iced "Star Dew" in his hand, his tone lazy.

Long Qianyuan, formerly known as Long Aotian Ben Ao, sat upright with a solemn expression, cautiously guiding the wisp of Chaos Mother Qi within his body—something that would make experts from the outside world fight to the death to obtain. Hearing this, he nodded quickly: "Understood, Revered Master! Let it flow like a gentle stream!"

He felt so happy he could faint. From a "player" almost driven to death by the System's KPI, he had leaped to become the Named Disciple of the slacker Dominator who saved the entire Universe (although his Revered Master always said he was just teaching him casually). The ups and downs of this life were more exciting than a roller coaster!

Just then, several streaks of light flew in from the distant horizon and landed on the edge of the floating island, revealing several young Cultivators in luxurious attire with impressive Auras. The leader, with a haughty expression, swept his gaze over Long Qianyuan, who was "smoking a dry pipe," and Yun Feng, who was lying on the chair with no regard for his image, his brows furrowing slightly.

"This is an important area on the outskirts of the Cloud Court. Idlers, leave immediately!" the arrogant youth said with an unfriendly tone. He was a direct descendant of a powerful cultivation Family nearby. He had come to the Cloud Court today with his Family elders to pay a visit and decided to come out for a stroll. Seeing that the Spiritual Qi here was exceptionally dense, he wanted to occupy it as a temporary place to Cultivate.

Long Qianyuan's expression sank, and he was about to speak. However, he saw Yun Feng on the lounge chair didn't even lift his eyelids, just waving his hand lazily: "Where did this brat come from? Go play somewhere else, don't disturb my Disciple... um, smoking his dry pipe."

The arrogant youth was so angry he laughed: "Do you know who I am? I am..."

Before he could finish, an old servant behind him with broader knowledge hurried forward, his face pale, grabbing him and whispering urgently: "Young Master! Watch your words! Watch your words! Look at the cup in that Young Master's hand... Is that... is that polished from a 'Star Core'?! And the chair he's lying on, is it woven from 'World Tree' branches?! This, this..."

The arrogant youth was stunned. Looking carefully, he truly discovered that in the seemingly ordinary glass cup in Yun Feng's hand, nebulae seemed to be swirling in the liquid; the material of the lounge chair emitted a Dao Rhyme of life that made even his Soul feel comfortable! He looked at Yun Feng again. Although his Aura seemed plain and unremarkable, that laziness and indifference from the inside out seemed to blend into the entire world!

Cold sweat instantly soaked his back. In the territory of the Cloud Court, someone who could use items of this level as daily necessities and be so casual... his identity was simply unimaginable!

"Sen... Senior, please forgive me! This Junior was blind and disturbed your cultivation. I will take my leave now! I will leave now!" The arrogant youth's voice changed in fright. He took his subordinates and scrambled away, moving as fast as if there were abyssal monsters chasing them.

Long Qianyuan watched this scene with his mouth open in an 'O' shape. He knew his Revered Master was awesome, but he didn't expect him to be this awesome—he didn't even have to lift a finger, just his "furniture" scared people away?

Yun Feng yawned and said to Long Qianyuan: "See that? This is the joy of being a 'connection hire.' From now on, in our little territory, you can walk sideways without worry. Just mention my name... oh, it seems you don't even need to mention it. With that Chaos Mother Qi on you right now, anyone with a bit of discernment won't dare to provoke you."

Long Qianyuan nodded excitedly, feeling his spine straighten countless times over!

At this moment, Nie Li's figure appeared on the island and said respectfully to Yun Feng: "Court Master, news has come from the City of Radiance. City Lord Ye Zong seems to have encountered some trouble. Several ancient Families have united to pressure him, wanting to force him to give up part of his power as City Lord."

Yun Feng raised an eyebrow but didn't speak yet. Long Qianyuan beside him immediately puffed out his chest and volunteered: "Revered Master! Why do you need to deal with such a small matter? Leave it to this Disciple! I guarantee those blind guys will know who is backing the City of Radiance!" The Chaos Mother Qi in his body was restless, and he wanted to find a chance to test its power!

Yun Feng glanced at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Alright, go ahead. Remember, we are civilized people; we must convince people with virtue."

"Understood!" Long Qianyuan excitedly turned into a streak of light and headed towards the direction of the Tiny World.

A few days later, City of Radiance.

Representatives from several ancient Families were acting arrogantly in the City Lord's mansion, pressing Ye Zong step by step.

"City Lord Ye, those who know the times are wise! As long as you are willing to give up the jurisdiction over Medicinal Pills and mineral resources, our families will ensure your position as City Lord remains secure!"

Ye Zong's expression was solemn, and he was about to hedge. Suddenly, an indescribable, vast Aura that seemed to tower above all living beings covered the entire City Lord's mansion like the sky collapsing!

Immediately after, a slightly immature but incomparably confident voice sounded:

"Oh? Ensure his position as City Lord is secure? Who gave you the courage to say that? Liang Jingru?"

Everyone looked in horror to see a youth wearing the standard blue robe of the Cloud Court, looking quite young, walking in slowly from outside the main gate with his hands in his pockets. There was no fierce Aura around him, but when his eyes swept over, it made the Souls of all the veteran experts present tremble! Especially the Aura in his body that vaguely resonated with the Laws of the entire world, which made them terrified!

"You... who are you?!" one of the Family representatives shouted, trying to sound tough.

The youth was Long Qianyuan. He picked his ear and said lazily: "Me? Just a connection hire passing by. I heard you want to mess with someone my Revered Master is backing?"

"Your Revered Master is..."

Long Qianyuan grinned, revealing a row of white teeth: "I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I say it. In short, from now on, the City of Radiance is covered by me, Long Qianyuan! Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wisp of Chaos Mother Qi in his body released a trace of Aura.

Boom!

The entire City Lord's mansion hall seemed to be hit by an invisible heavy hammer. All the Family representatives were instantly pressed to the ground, unable to move a single finger, their faces filled with endless fear and despair! They could feel that as long as this youth was willing, a single thought from him could reduce them all to ashes!

Ye Zong stared at all this, dumbfounded.

Long Qianyuan walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said in an old-fashioned tone: "City Lord Ye, don't worry. In the future, if you have any trouble, just mention my name... or you can just call for backup. My Revered Master said that we are civilized people and generally don't use force." He pointed to the group of people lying on the ground like mud, the result of his "civilized" actions.

The news quickly reached the Cloud Court.

In the Star Gazing Hall, Yun Feng listened to Nie Li's report and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad. This kid has... um, one-tenth of the laziness I had back in the day."

He took a sip of Star Dew, looked at the clouds rolling and relaxing outside the hall, and felt that these days of cultivating "connection hires" seemed a little more interesting than simply being invincible.

After all, watching others use his influence to run rampant... oh no, to "convince people with virtue," was also a different kind of enjoyment.
