Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Yi Tian knew that he shouldn’t entertain such thoughts.

He had practically spent an entire day nurturing this High-quality Fishing Rod.

Judging from the frequency of catching Celestial Dao Fish, from now on, if any Lord breaks their rod or snaps their line, they’ll miss out on an even greater opportunity.

"Open the King’s Treasure Chest!"

After finishing the hotpot with the little kiddos, Yi Tian scanned the King’s Treasure Chest with a Celestial Dao Stone.

"Stone of the King *5, Celestial Dao Coin *500,000, Qishan Spirit Rice Seeds *100, SS Martial Skill Thousand Army Spear *1, Large Manor Design Map *1, Skill Master Upgrade Scroll *1, SS-level Spirit Grass Forget Love Grass *5, SS-level Pill Fire Cyan Pill *1, S-level Armor Profound Light Armor *1, Top-level Fog Scroll *2."

Something new!

Qishan Spirit Rice Seeds, one hundred in total. Consuming Qishan Spirit Rice increases body refining speed by 100%, and taking it long-term helps improve potential.

Qishan Spirit Rice ripens every four months, unaffected by heat or cold, and is highly adaptable.

"Not bad! I can accelerate their growth a bit, this stuff should reproduce pretty quickly."

Yi Tian held a small bag of Qishan Spirit Rice in his hand, each grain about four to five times larger than regular rice, entirely red in color.

Anything that could steadily boost his strength, Yi Tian liked it a lot.

Celestial Dao Coin +500,000, Stone of the King +5.

SS Martial Skill Thousand Army Spear, one sweeping strike to ward off a thousand troops.

Put it away and store it in the Points Tower.

Large Manor Design Map, now with two in total.

SS-level Forget Love Grass, five plants in total. It’s a poison,—consuming it means far more than just forgetting feelings. Even an SS-level Qi Refiner would have their guts torn apart.

Skill Master Upgrade Scroll, now two in total.

SS-level Pill Cyan Flame Pill, after consuming: three-dimensional stats +60.

Pills, the more the better, hang on to them for now.

S-level Armor Profound Light Armor!

Yi Tian wasn’t too interested; their bodies didn’t need battle armor with only 3,000 defense power.

Top-level Fog Scroll, two scrolls. Now Yi Tian had a total of sixty-eight Top-level Fog Scrolls.

Collected all the treasures, time to continue fishing!

By two o’clock in the afternoon, Yi Tian had only caught one Spiritual Power Celestial Dao Fish.

"Detection: Celestial Dao Misfortune is imminent—Lord, please be prepared!"

Exactly one day into Celestial Dao Fortune, this voice echoed in the minds of all Lords.

Then, nothing more!

Many Lords thought the Indigenous People were attacking, so they dropped their rods or lines and ran back to their camps at top speed to rally their forces.

No matter how cold it was, they had to stick it out at this point.

They thought there would be no Celestial Dao Misfortune after all, but unexpectedly, something like this still happened.

One day apart—Celestial Dao Fortune overlapped with Celestial Dao Misfortune.

Yi Tian put away his Celestial Dao Fishing Rod, grabbed the big iron bucket with the Celestial Dao Fish, and hurried toward the city.

At the same time, he told Second Child to observe movement outside the territory.

Back in the city, Yi Tian immediately mobilized all soldiers onto the city walls. Elemental Warriors and Three-dimensional Combat Soldiers deployed from the Warrior Pavilion, while airships rose up inside the domain.

Yi Tian’s soldiers were all supplied with thick cotton coats—even new members of the territory felt a bit warmer.

And so, in the biting wind, a group of people stood atop the city wall for a full hour...

"Second Child, anything unusual outside?"

This was Yi Tian’s ninth time asking Second Child.

"Daddy, nobody out there!"

Second Child couldn’t even stretch out her hands, her little face was frozen bright red. Yi Tian wrapped a scarf around the little kiddo’s face, leaving only her eyes exposed.

At this moment, the fire in the soldiers’ hearts ignited by the coming battle was also snuffed out by the chill.

Way too cold!

Stand there a bit and you’d turn into an ice sculpture.

"The Celestial Dao Stone didn’t tell us when the Indigenous People will attack—are they screwing with us?" Yi Tian muttered, confused.

"Daddy, just now, the ice on the lake shattered. One, two, three, four—all the lakes’ ice broke. It’s just a patch of gray, still can’t see the lake bottom." Just then, Second Child reminded Yi Tian.

"Could it be the Celestial Dao Misfortune isn’t about an Indigenous attack, but something in the lake?"

Yi Tian muttered to himself.

Yi Tian took out the Celestial Dao Stone, opened the chat channel, to see if he could find any clues.

In the regional channel, the Lords were falling apart—cursing the Celestial Daoist Old Thief for being inhuman.

There had been three slave escape incidents at this critical moment.

It’s because Lords didn’t provide cotton clothes; loyalty dropped to sixty and they escaped the territory.

Bet this was happening all over the Celestial Dao World. There’ll probably even be attacks on Lords.

"Yi Tian, it’s not Indigenous People attacking—it’s monsters called Water Beasts that appeared in every lake of every Lord’s territory. If you get close to fish for Celestial Dao Fish, they’ll attack the Lord and even destroy fishing rods and lines! The Water Beast’s strength matches the strongest in the domain."

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance provided Yi Tian with the answer.

Now, the Lords’ chances to get Celestial Dao Fish and Celestial Dao Treasure Chests had greatly increased!

Yi Tian immediately ordered all officers to get on with their regular duties. Elemental Warriors and Three-dimensional Combat Soldiers returned to the Warrior King Pavilion.

Yi Tian took the little kiddos to investigate and decide after checking things out.

Looks like every lake has a Water Beast.

Water Beasts can destroy fishing lines—without removing them, fishing for Celestial Dao Fish is a fool’s dream.

Arriving at Lake One, from a distance, apart from the shattered ice, the lake seemed calm and peaceful.

"Splash!"

As soon as Yi Tian reached the shore, a jet of water shot up to the sky.

He then saw a huge catfish with limbs, mouth wide, lunging straight for Yi Tian.

It was as big as an ox, pitch black all over.

"Water Beast: Strength 4350, Constitution 4350, Agility 4350."

Just bare three-dimensional stats, nothing special.

The strongest in Yi Tian’s domain, Lushan Bao Ma, also had three-dimensional stats around 4,300.

So the Water Beast’s strength should be set according to the domain’s highest three-dimensional stats.

It had no talents—Yi Tian could understand that.

Most Lords in the Celestial Dao World had no talents. If Water Beasts did, no one else would have a chance.

Lords of equal rank with Divine Weapons would definitely have an edge fighting the Water Beast.

"Big fish!"

When the Water Beast got within three meters of Yi Tian, Third Child leapt up and pinned it down.

Her little figure stood atop the Water Beast’s head, utterly subduing it.

"Gua gua..."

The Water Beast struggled and let out a low, toad-like growl.

"Let’s roast it!"

Fourth Child jumped onto the Water Beast’s back too, with absolutely no intention of hiding her purpose.

Yi Tian watched the lake intently to see if any more Water Beasts surfaced.

"Ya!"

Just then, Third Child and Fourth Child cried out in surprise.

The huge Water Beast beneath the kids turned into a wisp of gray vapor, dissipating into the lake water.
