After Zhou Wu went missing, morale throughout the South China Sea region plummeted, and even the grassroots workers lost their motivation to work.

Because everyone knows that without Zhou Wu, there would be no South China Sea as we know it today; Zhou Wu is the backbone of the South China Sea.

Now that Zhou Wu has returned safely, everyone's morale is at an all-time high.

Without even obtaining Zhou Wu's consent, Master Niu gave everyone in the South China Sea a three-day holiday and distributed a lot of supplies to everyone, causing the entire South China Sea to celebrate.

"Do nothing today. We have already prepared food and wine, not for any other reason than to celebrate your safe return."

Niu Ye is the most senior member of the family and is an elder in the fiefdom. He provided Zhou Wu with a lot of help before Zhou Wu rose to prominence, and now that Zhou Wu has become successful, he is naturally returning the favor.

"Whatever the boss says goes."

"Haha, good lad."

A large group of people marched towards the newly built city lord's mansion in the city.

Zhou Wu's previous residence was only a temporary one; he never expected that the city lord's mansion would be completed when he returned.

. . . . .

"Your city lord's mansion is truly impressive, haha."

"If you like it, Uncle Niu, feel free to come and stay anytime. This is your home too."

Zhou Wu had long regarded Master Niu as his elder.

The courtyard of the city lord's mansion was already filled with banquet dishes.

"Thank you all for your concern. I won't say anything more. I'll drink this first as a sign of respect."

"it is good."

Zhou Wu drank it all in one gulp, and the crowd below cheered.

Zhou Wu's return instantly put everything in the South China Sea back on track.

With everyone feeling more at ease, they were more motivated to work.

Life continued peacefully like this.

Until this day, the South China Sea welcomed its first foreign trade fleet.

South China Sea Wharf.

The fishing boats haven't returned yet, and our own trading fleet has also set sail; it's estimated they won't be back for at least ten days to two weeks.

However, a fleet of ships was sailing towards the dock on the sea.

"A fleet of ships is coming!"

As the first person to spot it shouted, people at the dock gradually came to see the fleet as well.

"The fishing boats have just set out to sea; they can't possibly be back so quickly."

"The trade fleet isn't coming back at this time either."

Because they were still quite far away, the ship's appearance was not very clear to everyone.

As the fleet drew closer, everyone discovered that the ships were about the same size as their own Bull Demon King ships, but their appearances were completely different.

"Go and inform the army."

"Yes."

The dock manager also noticed this situation and should be wary of this unfamiliar fleet.

There was a garrison near the dock, and after receiving the message from the dock, they immediately led their men to guard the dock.

The three boats, all identical in appearance and size, slowly approached the shore.

The people on the ship seemed to be on guard as well. Instead of immediately lowering the ladder, they stood on the deck at the bow, looking down at the people on the dock.

"Jill, is this the dragon man you were talking about? Why is he all yellowish-brown?"

A blond, blue-eyed young man was looking down at the dockworkers with disdain.

“Your Highness, don’t underestimate these people. Although they look like yellow-skinned monkeys, they are full of wisdom.”

Jill had been to the Great Dragon, so he knew the Great Dragon people better than his own prince. He hoped his prince wouldn't underestimate them, but clearly, the noble prince looked down on the Great Dragon people.

“Jill, you’re really getting worse as you get older. These yellow-skinned monkeys have completely subdued you.”

As a diplomatic envoy of the Kingdom of John, Jill has represented the Kingdom of John on numerous visits to various countries, experiencing different customs and cultures.

When he visits a country, he compares it in his mind to his homeland, John's Country. Without exception, no country is better or stronger than his homeland, until he recently visited Dalong.

The towering city walls, the massive population, the well-trained army—even when he saw the palace where the Great Dragon Monarch lived, he couldn't help but compare it to his own king's castle.

The castle that was once a source of pride now seems utterly inadequate after seeing the Great Dragon Palace.

When he returned to the Kingdom of John after his mission to the Great Dragon, he told his king everything he had seen, and the prince overheard it all.

The young and ambitious prince, who had lived in an ivory tower since childhood, had never heard of, nor would he allow, any country to be more powerful than his own Kingdom of John.

So when Giles was once again sent on a mission to the Great Dragon by the King, the little prince clamored to see this so-called powerful Eastern country for himself.

The powerful Eastern country that Jill had told him about filled the little prince with high hopes, but when he saw the real powerful Eastern country, he was greatly disappointed. This yellow-skinned monkey was actually the powerful country that Jill had described.

"Go ask if this is the Great Dragon Empire."

"Yes."

The fleet naturally brought a translator, but this translator who could speak the language of the Great Dragon was only a half-baked one.

"You... this place, the Great Dragon Kingdom, isn't it?"

The halting, broken Mandarin was a bit difficult to understand.

"What is that blond monkey saying?"

"It seems like they're asking if it's the Great Dragon Kingdom?"

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? He doesn't even know who the South China Sea is."

The dockworkers also wore disdainful expressions. In the Great Dragon Empire, everyone except the Great Dragon people was automatically considered inferior. This was the pride of the Great Dragon, especially since this was the South China Sea.

"Go and tell them."

"I don't want to talk to the yellow-haired monkey. I've heard that if you talk to a yellow-haired monkey, you'll turn into a yellow-haired monkey yourself."

I wonder if people in this era have an innate prejudice against monkeys, calling one a "yellow-skinned monkey" and the other a "yellow-haired monkey."

"Who told you all this?"

"A monk from my hometown once told me this."

Seeing that he couldn't get anyone around him to listen, the dock manager had no choice but to go himself.

"This is the Great Dragon Empire, South Island. Who are you people, and what is your purpose in coming here?"

So this is the South China Sea island. As for what the South China Sea island is, it doesn't matter.

"Tell them that the prince of the John Empire has arrived, and that their highest-ranking officer must come to see me."

"Your Highness, this is the Great Dragon Kingdom, is it perhaps inappropriate?"

Faced with the prince's rudeness, Gil quickly tried to dissuade him, wondering if the prince was the offspring of the king and his close relative, and why he was so mentally challenged.

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Besides, you're not even a powerful dragon. You're a foreign prince, running around on someone else's territory showing off your power. Be careful, you son of a bitch, or I'll beat you up.

"Hmph, what's inappropriate about it? I am a noble prince. Is it a problem for my officials to greet me?"

As if provoked by something, the prince began to shout wildly.

Gillian mentally labeled the prince as having bipolar disorder. She had already tried to reason with him, but since he wouldn't listen, there was nothing she could do.
