"The national competition has been cancelled this time, but many soldiers on the border are dissatisfied and intend to cause chaos in the four countries. We are in the fifth country... resources are scarce, and the harvest this year is poor. Many people are complaining, and many people have already fled to other places..." Dongxiang said with difficulty.

After hearing the news, Lu Wan couldn't help but frowned: "Is it so? What should I do?" She was secretly worried in her heart.

"Where is the king?" Lu Wan asked.

"The king is in seclusion. Grand Tutor Liu has opened the national treasury and granary to distribute food to the people, but this is only a stopgap measure. But these are just a drop in the bucket. I'm afraid this year will be difficult. I originally thought that if I could move up one place in the competition, I could get more resources, but..." Dongxiang shook her head dejectedly, with a trace of helplessness and worry in her eyes.

Faced with this situation, Lu Wan felt helpless. She realized that she had to take action to help the country through the difficult times. So, she turned to Qiuxiang and asked, "What about the properties under your name? How much is left?"

Qiu Xiang smiled and replied, "Now only this restaurant is doing well. All other stores have been closed..." As she spoke, she handed a sorted account book to Lu Wan and explained, "These are the accounts. Please take a look."

Lu Wan took the account book and flipped through each page carefully. She found out, "I actually lost so much!" Lu Wan was heartbroken as she flipped through the pages. This was all hard-earned money! It was gone before she even got it...

"The main reason is that the rice and vegetable shops are suffering from heavy losses, and refugees are pouring in to scramble for food. If it weren't for the Akabane Army patrolling nearby, I'm afraid the shops would have been emptied out. After all, they are just mortals who are powerless..." Qiuxiang said with a worried look on her face.

Lu Wan sighed, turned to look at Xia Xiang beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Where is Xia He Clinic?"

Xia Xiang bit her lip and whispered, "It's closed... There are too many refugees, causing many people to fall ill. The herbs are overwhelmed, and even Daddy is sick."

Hearing this, Lu Wan felt annoyed. She turned to look at Chunxiang who was looking contented beside her and thought: Well, there's no need to ask. Who would go to Chunxiang Tower to have fun at this time? If she was busy, she wouldn't be here... She couldn't help but feel helpless. She held her forehead with her hand and complained secretly in her heart: What a terrible thing... I came back to solve the trouble!

"Forget it, let's close this restaurant for now, and all the businesses under our name, and renovate them. The four of you come with me," Lu Wan said to everyone while standing at the stairs.

The four people immediately showed ecstatic expressions, with hope in their eyes, and looked at Lu Wan expectantly. They secretly rejoiced in their hearts: After all, the master is the smartest! She must have a way to solve the problem!

Then, the five of them walked down the stairs together. Qiuxiang told the shopkeeper to close the restaurant and temporarily stop business from today. The shopkeeper looked at Lu Wan in surprise as she was surrounded by the boss and the maids and left, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Master, where are we going?" Xia Xiang asked curiously.

Lu Wan turned his head, his eyes fell on Dong Xiang, and asked: "Where is the Akabane Army now?"

Dongxiang replied, "They are all guarding the border now."

Lu Wan nodded, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said to the four people: "Then let's go to the border first, and I'll take you to rob this time!"

Hearing this, the four people's eyes widened, their faces full of astonishment and confusion. Robbery? !!! Is the master still asleep? Is there something wrong with his memory? He actually came up with such an idea all of a sudden! And who are they going to rob?

Countless questions came to their minds, but the four people did not dare to ask easily and could only follow Lu Wan silently.

"It will take about four days to reach the border by horse carriage," Dongxiang calculated the time by counting on her fingers.

"Why do we need to take a carriage? Did you forget to use your spiritual power?" Lu Wan teased.

"Then Master..." Dongxiang hesitated and spoke. She did not feel any spiritual power fluctuations from her master. Could it be that he had recovered? Or not? She was secretly puzzled.

"You're so stupid! Since the master asked this, everything must have recovered. Have you been in the army for so long that your brain has become stupid?" Chunxiang said to Dongxiang with disgust.

Hearing this, Dongxiang's face instantly became embarrassed. She tried to keep herself calm, but she was still a little flustered. So she decided to glare at Chunxiang coldly, trying to cover up her embarrassment. However, Chunxiang gave her a big eye roll in return... This completely broke Dongxiang's defense~

"What kind of look is that! I am the master's maid! Humph~" Dongxiang couldn't help but blame Chunxiang in her heart.

"Okay, stop arguing, both of you. Let's get going now. We have something urgent to do this time!" Lu Wan looked at the two people who were arguing helplessly and spoke out to stop them.

At this time, Lu Wan summoned an adult bluebird from the space.

The blue bird had blue feathers and a body like a phoenix. When its wings were spread, it could transform into the size of ten people. Such a huge size shocked everyone.

"This! What kind of bird is this!" Xia Xiang exclaimed. She had never seen such a huge bird, let alone the legendary spiritual bird like the Bluebird.

The others also looked at the bird in shock, and then looked at Lu Wan, as if wanting to get an answer from him.

"Come up! This is the Bluebird. I'm not planning to fly all the way there by myself..." Lu Wan teased the four people, with a cunning look in his eyes.

The four people climbed onto the back of the blue bird with fear. They nervously grasped the blue bird's feathers, fearing that they would fall off accidentally. After the blue bird felt their weight, it gently flapped its wings and flew into the sky. Everyone felt the strong wind coming from their ears and watched all this with wide eyes, as if they were in a dream.

They actually encountered such a large spiritual beast in their lifetime, and it was a blue bird! !

It was also Lu Wan's first time riding a Bluebird, and she felt very comfortable feeling the breeze brushing against her face. She turned her head and glanced at the four people behind her. Seeing their dazed looks, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

Suddenly I remembered what A'li once said, if you want to ride a flying spirit beast, you must protect yourself and set up a protective shield around yourself, otherwise you will be blown away by the strong wind in the sky.

Sure enough, not long after, the four people sitting in the back began to feel something was wrong. They found that their clothes and hair were blown into a mess, and their faces were scratched painfully.

...Lu Wan looked at the four broken beauties, their hair was messy due to the wind and their clothes were wrinkled. After observing the consequences for a while, Lu Wan set up a protective shield for the four dazed people.

"Master! Is this your contracted beast? This is a spirit beast!" Dongxiang shouted in surprise, her voice trembling with excitement. She seemed to have completely forgotten her current image, and only lowered her head to stroke the soft feathers under her body, with excitement flashing in her eyes, as if she had seen some rare treasure.

Lu Wan shook his head and explained with a smile: "It is indeed a spirit beast, but it is not my contracted beast. In fact, it has no owner yet. So today I specially called you here to see if anyone among you is willing to accompany it."

Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other in surprise. They asked in unison: "Master, are you a beast tamer? But why have we never heard of you?" Their eyes were full of doubts, and they seemed to be very surprised by the news.

Lu Wan waved her hands quickly and replied with a smile: "Oh, don't get me wrong. I am your master, how much do you think I am? In fact, I just found a nest of spirit beasts by chance, and I was lucky enough to bring back all the spirit beast eggs. This guy is just one of them." As she spoke, she gently touched the bluebird's head, her eyes full of love. The bluebird also cried loudly in the air, expressing its joy.

Then, she said in a serious tone: "I have called you together this time for another important matter. I hope to form a powerful army of spirit beasts to make our power even stronger. In this way, we may become the first dynasty!" Her tone was firm and revealed a strong determination.

"A spirit beast nest! One of them! All spirit beast eggs! A spirit beast army! The first dynasty" These words were like bombs that kept exploding in everyone's mind, leaving them so shocked that they didn't know what to say. This couldn't be simply described as good luck, it was simply the darling of heaven!

The four of them smiled at each other, then realized each other's miserable appearance, and looked helplessly at the perfect Lu Wan. Everyone laughed, and a joyful atmosphere spread in the air.

"Okay! We will definitely become the first dynasty." The five women looked at each other firmly!
