Chapter 611: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 611: Beast Token and Critical Condition (1)
Emperor Huian's sudden change in attitude surprised even Xiao Ruiyuan, but it was ultimately a relief. The heavy weight that had been hanging over them for so long was finally lifted. Seeing Mo Yan deep in thought, seemingly considering her reward, he wasn't worried she would ask for anything excessive.
Mo Yan indeed didn't want anything extravagant. She was satisfied with her current life and didn't desire any significant changes. Even if she did want something, she preferred to earn it through her own efforts rather than receiving it as an unexpected gift, which might come with unforeseen consequences.
However, there was something she had long wanted to address but had never found a way to solve. For a sovereign, it would be a matter of a single word, making it an excellent request for a reward!
With this thought, Mo Yan's expression lightened. She respectfully addressed Emperor Hui'an, "It was a great fortune for me to be able to rescue the princes and lords, but the true saviors were the five beasts I brought with me. Although they are very close to me, they have always been kept hidden to avoid causing alarm. I humbly request that Your Majesty grant them an official status, so they too can feel Your Majesty's kindness and benevolence."
Emperor Huian was momentarily stunned, thinking he might have misunderstood. He couldn't help but ask for confirmation, "You wish for your reward to be the official recognition of the five beasts?"
Mo Yan nodded seriously, "Yes, Your Majesty. This is my only request. I hope Your Majesty can grant it."
Emperor Huian, surprised but seeing her sincerity, offered a serious reminder, "Young lady, you only get one chance. Make sure you are certain about your choice!"
"I am very sure. Please, Your Majesty, grant my request!" Mo Yan smiled calmly, showing no hesitation.
Seeing her resolve, Emperor Huian looked at her intently, gaining a bit more respect for this young woman who knew her place. "Very well. I will issue a decree to create a token for each of the five beasts. As long as they have this token, no one can harm them. However, the beasts must not harm anyone without cause. If they endanger the people, I will not only have them executed but also punish you severely for failing to control them."
Mo Yan's eyes lit up, and she solemnly promised, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will strictly control the five beasts and ensure they do not harm anyone. If they do, I will take full responsibility for any consequences."
Emperor Huian nodded slightly, indicating his acceptance of her promise.
The thought of the five beasts being able to freely come and go from her home without needing to sneak around made Mo Yan very happy. The beasts—Xiao Hua, Da Bai, and Mao Tuan—were already part of the family and wouldn't leave. The golden beast, healed in the "cheat" time space of the dimension, showed no signs of returning to the mountains. The red python, though still living in its cave in the mountains, visited her daily. With the tokens, they wouldn't have to sneak around anymore.
As for the concern about the beasts harming people or livestock, Mo Yan wasn't worried. The five beasts, having been raised by her, had no interest in ordinary livestock, and those that had gained intelligence wouldn't attack humans without reason. They had never attacked anyone unprovoked during the time she had raised them.
Xiao Ruiyuan, noticing the bright light in her eyes, couldn't help but feel his mood lift as well. The tight line of his lips relaxed into a rare smile, and a warm glow filled his usually cold eyes.
Emperor Huian, observing from his elevated position, took note of the scene. His eyes, though seasoned with age and experience, flashed with a thoughtful glint before quickly returning to their usual sharpness.
