Xiao Yunzhou, hearing his daughter\'s thoughts, couldn\'t help but smile.

Soon, he met the King of Zhou, who had been brought to the imperial study, along with the King of Chu, whom he had only met a month ago.

"You two, how come you didn\'t notify me when you came to our Jing Country?" Xiao Yunzhou greeted them with a beaming smile. "If you had informed me in advance, I could have sent guards to escort you all the way."

"It would have been better than you two squeezing into one carriage the whole journey, unable to sleep well," Xiao Yunzhou chuckled.

This one statement startled both the dragon-like, tiger-striding, stern-faced King of Zhou and the gray-haired King of Chu.

Xiao Yunzhou not only knew they had arrived, but he was also fully aware of their entire journey.

He even knew that the two kings had shared the same carriage?

If they weren\'t monarchs accustomed to hiding their emotions, they would have shown their astonishment and deflated demeanor in front of Xiao Yunzhou.

When exactly had Xiao Yunzhou started monitoring them?

Were the Jing Country\'s spies and informants really that formidable?

The King of Zhou\'s mind was in turmoil. If this was the case, did Xiao Yunzhou know about Yuan Mu Country\'s restlessness and the Yuan King\'s attempt to borrow passage through his Zhou Xing Kingdom?

Was this a subtle hint that Jing Country had already detected it? The King of Zhou\'s thoughts were racing even before he sat down.

"Please, have a seat," Xiao Yunzhou waved for Wei Zheng to serve tea.

Today, Xiao Chuchu was being held by her nanny in the adjacent study, separated by a wall and heavily guarded.

Xiao Yunzhou wasn\'t sure if the King of Zhou could be trusted, so he didn\'t dare to let Xiao Chuchu stay in front of strangers.

[Wow, the King of Zhou\'s collection rate has risen to 14%. Is he scared?]

Xiao Chuchu was impressed but confused.

Xiao Yunzhou almost twitched at the corner of his mouth. Looking at the King of Zhou, he saw that this never-before-seen monarch of the Zhou Xing Kingdom was fifteen years his senior, but still robust.

He hadn\'t expected such a manly figure to be so easily frightened.

"Brother Xiao, did some expert in Jing Country divine our arrival?" the King of Chu, being older, quickly regained his composure and guessed.

Xiao Yunzhou was secretly pleased but didn\'t show it on his face.

"The workings of heaven cannot be revealed," Xiao Yunzhou chuckled. He wasn\'t about to casually disclose matters about his fairy daughter. "Suffice it to say, I not only know you\'ve arrived, but I also know other things."

The King of Zhou\'s pupils suddenly dilated.

These words seemed to be directed at him.

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Yunzhou pressed on, "I hear both of you are quite fond of our Jing Country\'s long-form novels. How about this? You can stay at the foreign envoys\' residence for a few days, and I\'ll have the Hanlin Academy send over the latest manuscripts for you to peruse first."

Both the King of Zhou and King of Chu were delighted.

But the King of Zhou\'s joy lasted only for a moment before he quickly responded, "Is it possible for these novels to be sold in our Zhou Xing Kingdom? Give us a 20% discount."

"???" The King of Chu immediately glared. "What 20% discount for you? If there\'s to be a discount, it should be for our Chu State. We are allies with Jing Country. What reason does your Zhou Xing Kingdom have for preferential treatment?"

The King of Zhou\'s lips tightened. "We\'re seeing these novels later than you, yet we\'re supposed to pay the same price? Where\'s the fairness in that?"

More crucially, if he refused the Yuan King and didn\'t attack Jing Country, he would lose a million gold pieces.

Of course, he wanted to recoup something from Jing Country\'s side.

But as soon as he thought this, the King of Zhou paused. Wait, had he already started considering the possibility of siding with Jing Country?

The King of Zhou frowned, looking at Xiao Yunzhou. Had he unwittingly wavered?

Was it because of these captivating novel stories, or Jing Country\'s tight city defenses and spy network?

Or was it because of what the King of Chu had told him about Jing Country\'s banks, milk tea shops, new water irrigation tools for farming... things the King of Zhou had not only seen along the way, but had also heard mentioned by storytellers in "The First Immortal Lord."

"That\'s right," Xiao Yunzhou nodded. "Brother Zhou, you\'ve discovered the foreshadowing our Hanlin Academy left in the novels."

[Oh my, Emperor Dad is so brazen. What foreshadowing? It\'s just product placement!]

[The Hanlin Academy just had to add extra scenes to the male lead\'s daily cultivation life, like buying Jing Country\'s royal milk tea for his senior sister and exchanging it for spirit herbs, or depositing spirit stones in Jing Country\'s bank to get more interest. This kind of sneaky product placement appeared five or six times in just the first three chapters!]

Xiao Chuchu couldn\'t help but criticize from next door.

Xiao Yunzhou coughed lightly, feeling a bit hot in the face, but he maintained his act with his acting skills.

He looked solemnly at the King of Zhou and King of Chu, "These foreshadowings, when the novels are sold to various countries, will also help them understand the unique features of our Jing Country better."

Xiao Yunzhou\'s marketing knowledge came from his fairy little princess.

According to the fairy little princess, this was all about traffic!

The better "The First Immortal Lord" and "She Came Back After Five Years" sold, the more people read them, the more effective the product advertisements written by the Hanlin Academy would be.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunzhou focused on introducing to the King of Zhou, "When Zhou Tiantian was doing chores at the immortal sect, his senior brother challenged him to manage a hundred acres of immortal fields. He completed the task by using magic combined with the dragon bone water wheel to irrigate the fields."

"We are now selling these dragon bone water wheels in our Jing Country. King of Zhou, do you have any thoughts on introducing this to Zhou Xing Kingdom?"

"And our Jing Country\'s banks... just like in the novel, deposit ten, get twelve back."

The King of Zhou suddenly realized - it was all about promotion!

But then he became a bit interested.

Although using these dragon bone water wheels and such wouldn\'t have much impact on Zhou Xing Kingdom in the short term, it would definitely improve the lives of the common people in the long run.

More importantly, he could foresee that when "The First Immortal Lord" spread to other places in the future, it would also be loved by the local people there.

Even if Zhou Xing Kingdom didn\'t buy these dragon bone water wheels and milk tea recipes from Jing Country, other countries would take action.

By then, if others moved while the people of Zhou Xing remained stagnant, the gap in agriculture and commerce would gradually widen!

The King of Zhou gritted his teeth. They had to buy, and buy quickly!

[The King of Zhou\'s collection rate has risen to 23%.]

Xiao Chuchu was delighted. [This is the influence of advertising in a big IP!]

[But it\'s not enough, only 23%... We need to administer a stronger dose.]

Hearing this, Xiao Yunzhou also raised an eyebrow, looking at the King of Zhou who wasn\'t overwhelmed by issues of people\'s livelihood.

Indeed, as his fairy daughter said, it was time for a stronger dose.

In the interactions between two countries, apart from bringing benefits to each other, there was also the matter of deterrence!

Letting the other side see their strength would naturally prevent them from daring to offend Jing Country!

With this in mind, Xiao Yunzhou clasped his hands behind his back and nodded to the King of Chu and King of Zhou, "You two have come at the right time."

"Our Jing Country has recently invented new military equipment - several types of firearms."

"You can come with me to watch the Military Department\'s experiment."

The two kings were shocked.

But Xiao Yunzhou acted as if he hadn\'t noticed, "Wei Zheng, go, tell them to bring the hundred-shot firearm!"

The King of Chu and King of Zhou suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

What firearm? How many shots? A hundred?!

Impossible, how could there be a hundred shots?

[The machine gun is coming!]

Xiao Chuchu had been waiting for this day and was immediately excited.
