I Have A Dual World Seal

"Hehe, how adorable!"

In Shen Ying’s arms was a small red and black animal, sticking out its tongue and staring at her blankly, looking utterly cute.

Lin Wan was holding two gray and white, black-spotted little leopards in her arms, one on each side, like little kittens.

Liu Qingyan and Si Lingxi stood together, and in front of them were several cages containing baby pandas and a young clouded leopard.

Meanwhile, around Lu Zheng lay six unconscious and twisted poachers.

Shen Ying gently petted the baby panda in her arms, soothing its emotions, and said with a squinting smile, "This is what’s great about Blue Star; there are such cute little animals."

The animal diversity in Da Jing Mountain Forest is even higher than on Blue Star, but there’s really no creature like a panda, which is solely an expert at selling cuteness.

"Let’s take them back to the village to raise; they’re so cute, they can keep Zhi Ma and Can Girl company," Shen Ying laughed.

Lu Zheng was indifferent, "As you wish, do you want to take all of them back?"

Shen Ying shook her head, "Not the leopards, they don’t look good once they grow up."

Lin Wan laughed, "Then we will send them all to Rongcheng Zoo."

Liu Qingyan glanced at the unconscious poachers, "And what about these people?"

"Send them together to the Rongcheng Police Station," Lin Wan shrugged, "I’ll give Xiao Yuya a call."

...

Xiao Yuya received Lin Wan’s call while accompanying the expert group to the transfer point at Qinling, hurriedly reported to Director Liu, and got permission to call the Rongcheng Police Station, telling them not to investigate the reason why the poachers suddenly appeared in the police station courtyard.

Xiao Yuya sighed, "It’s so difficult for me!"

Lu Zheng’s group was getting more and more excessive, and it was becoming increasingly hard to cover up for them.

"This is a good thing; it shows they are gradually treating us as insiders."

On the plane, Director Liu sat beside Xiao Yuya, a wise glint flashed in his eyes, teasing with a smile, "If you find it too difficult, should I arrange for someone else to replace you?"

"No way!" Xiao Yuya immediately refused.

"Kidding, this is such a great position, even a director wouldn’t want to give it up!"

"Director, with such a massive project as the Red Chess River, once it’s opened, it’ll definitely be world-renowned, but we’ve hardly made any moves here, won’t that cause some unnecessary suspicion?"

"Of course it will!" Director Liu nodded matter-of-factly.

"Ah?" Xiao Yuya looked baffled.

"But we can’t just not do it because of some people’s suspicion and apprehension, right?"

Director Liu smiled kindly, "We remain low-key and patient, we harmonize with the mundane; it’s our way of conducting ourselves, but that’s either because decades ago we were not as strong, or we don’t want to give others the impression that a powerful nation must dominate.

But when have we ever compromised when safeguarding our core interests?"

Xiao Yuya nodded in agreement.

"Lu Zheng has good intentions, willing to help us excavate the six-thousand-kilometer Red Chess River, and he notified us in advance. If we were unwilling, we could indeed refuse."

Director Liu asked, "Can we refuse Lu Zheng’s goodwill, refuse to complete the project decades ahead of schedule, resolve countless problems, add billions of acres of fertile land and oases, meet the Northwest’s water needs, and save four trillion?"

"Of course not!"

Xiao Yuya immediately replied, "Those suspicions and apprehensions won’t make us any less prosperous, and besides, the Lighthouse Country with its pile of high-tech oddities always has people suspecting their Zone 51 houses alien ships and technology obtained by the Lighthouse Country, yet nobody has done anything about it!"

"Indeed, the majority of small countries in the world, they side with whoever wins. As for our competitors... hehe, do we still need to concern ourselves with their suspicions and apprehensions?"

Director Liu laughed, "Just make a random excuse to bluff them, even if they know we’re lying, what’s the use?"

I’m lying to you.

You know I’m lying to you.

I also know that you know I’m lying to you.

You are very aware of the third point and are certainly angry, but...

What can you do?

Just talk back; I’ll deny it.

Doesn’t everyone have some state secrets?

"Let’s go, and see the waterways excavated through Qinling; explorers said many parts of the Qinling channel cut through mountains to connect both sides divided by the great river, some waterways branch out, and some gorges have stone bridges built overhead, as if naturally formed."

Director Liu found it funny to think about, "Supposedly, some hermits living in Qinling woke up to find a stone bridge across a gorge not far away and immediately reported it to the police the same day."

Xiao Yuya, "..."

"Oh, there’s another good news, the once incredibly perilous Ao-Tai Line will never see anyone traversing it anymore, because it has turned into a canyon river channel; if anyone goes there now, it’s not hiking but canyon rafting."

"That is really good news; it will save the forest fire department quite a bit of money each year." Xiao Yuya shrugged, "Maybe in the future, a few more 5A scenic spots could be created, making money off canyon rafting."

Director Liu gave a thumbs up, "Today’s young people are different; looking three steps ahead, already considering future economic issues."

Xiao Yuya: (°ー°〃)

...

On the other side, Lu Zheng and others had already returned to Hai City. After Shen Ying finished uploading the video, she cuddled the two baby pandas left behind.

There’s no denying, baby pandas are indeed adorable, even Si Lingxi was charmed by them.

However, they’re still a bit timid, getting startled easily, then raising both hands, looking cute and fiercely adorable.

Lu Zheng rubbed his hands, then reached out a finger and touched the space between the baby pandas’ eyebrows.

A flicker of spiritual light flashed, then submerged into the baby pandas’ divine souls.

Though it was far from directly enabling them to gain wisdom, at least it made them a bit more clever, understanding not to mess around, knowing to eat and bathe properly, was not a problem.

As for truly enlightening them to spirit awakening, turning ordinary animals and plants into demons, that would probably wait until after ascension; at least characters like Si Lingxi and Wansong Daoist, who are just a step away from ascension, couldn’t achieve it.

Otherwise, the old pine tree wouldn’t have always been alone.

Well, he himself is a bit of a recluse.

...

After enlightening the two baby pandas, the group then took them through to Great Jing and released them at Taohua Village for free-range, and before long, they became good friends with Zhi Ma and the Ginseng Doll.

Lu Zheng then continued excavating the unfinished sections of the river channel.

By early December, the weather in Hai City had turned chilly, and the six-thousand-kilometer Red Chess River, besides the nearest positions connecting various water elements still being blocked, the rest of the river channels had all been completed.

After a report by the Ancient Culture Research and Analysis Archival Room, it was decided that on the day of the winter solstice, the great river would begin water flow!

And... live broadcast!
