Under the guidance of the Six Techniques of the Heavenly Fox, all the Yao Race who participated in the Beast Tide defense strictly received rewards according to the rules.
Regardless of background, bloodline, or cultivation, only the number of enemies ultimately slain mattered.
Matters such as distributing fields and granting houses were also being gradually implemented.
The mansions of the Wolf Clan that had been cleared out were completely vacated and occupied by several Foundation Establishment yao cultivators who had achieved the highest merit.
At the same time, Lu Li also granted authority to ordinary Qi Refining yao cultivators, allowing them to develop their own villages centered around Blackstone City, with a certain degree of autonomy within those villages.
Of course, all of this had to conform to the initial rules of Blackstone City.
As for certain special Yao clans, such as the Snake Clan and the Scale Clan, they were allowed to dig beneath Blackstone City to create more space.
The fertile soil excavated would be transported to the surface to develop spirit fields.
However, Lu Li currently had no good ideas regarding the meat-eating problem necessary for the Yao Race.
Among the Human Race, eating chickens, sheep, pigs, dogs, and cattle was normal.
No one would find any issue with it.
But in the history of the Yao Race, it had always been the strong eating the weak.
To resolve this, after waking up, Lu Li discussed it with Liu Qingyun, Liu Qingxi, and Yuan He, and also sought the opinion of Xiu Popo. In the end, they drafted a new set of rules.
“From today onward, any being with spiritual wisdom will be registered in the Blackstone City household registry.”
Lu Li, now dressed in a simple and elegant long skirt, stood among the Yao Race as she read the document they had drafted.
“Those without wisdom or who harm the people may be put into the furnace and eaten.”
“In other words, those with spiritual wisdom are citizens.”
“Those without wisdom or who harm the people may be put into the furnace for food.”
As Lu Li read, the weak Rabbit Clan and Rat Clan cheered joyfully.
“Those with spiritual wisdom are citizens; those without wisdom are food…”
Below, the Rabbit Clan chief murmured the words, his eyes slightly reddening. Meanwhile, the originally stronger Jackal, Wolf, and Tiger clans also looked much more relieved.
Last night, facing the Beast Tide, all the yao had united because if they didn’t resist the Frenzied Beasts, they couldn’t survive.
But after the war ended, Foundation Establishment yao cultivators could still take Fasting Pills, but what about Qi Refining yao cultivators and ordinary yao? The rule that Lu Li had negotiated set all the Yao Race at ease.
Of course, the implementation of this matter did not go very smoothly.
Right after the announcement, Lie Shan came to find Lu Li.
Because beforehand, a soldier of the Tiger Clan had violated the rules.
“Saintess Su, I have brought him here.”
Lie Shan sighed heavily as he looked at the guard bound by iron chains and magical artifacts.
“He was severely injured last night and directly gnawed off a Rabbit Clan member’s arm.”
“I understand.”
Lu Li nodded and looked at the Tiger Clan guard whose mouth was still stained with blood.
“Although you ate meat first and the decree was issued later… the Rabbit Clan is also waiting for the final result.”
“Celestial Fox Saint, my Tiger Clan eating meat is our nature, and when I did this, the rules had not yet been published!”
“I understand that, but the one you ate was a soldier who fought alongside you against the frenzied tide last night.”
Lu Li extended her hand, and Liu Qingxi quickly found a booklet and handed it to her.
“White Rabbit, Qi Refining Third Layer, used a Spirit Gun, killed five Frenzied Beasts, and saved one Sparrow Clan member.”
“Her merit is greater than yours.”
“According to Blackstone City’s new rules, for gnawing off a comrade’s arm, under Blackstone City’s new law, it would be a capital offense.”
“Celestial Fox Saint, I have bled for Blackstone City, I have also rendered meritorious service for Blackstone City!”
Upon hearing this, the guard began to struggle.
“Saintess Su…”
Lie Shan also looked at Lu Li.
“I understand… In that case, the new law does not retroactively apply old offenses.”
As Lu Li thought, Liu Qingxi transmitted a sentence for her to speak word for word.
“You have indeed made many contributions to Blackstone City. But you also devoured a comrade’s limbs, so…”
“The death penalty can be spared, but the living punishment cannot be escaped. All your merits from now on go to White Rabbit. At the same time, you are responsible for finding spirit medicine for White Rabbit’s Limb Regeneration.”
As Lu Li spoke, the Tiger Clan guard’s expression shifted several times, but hearing that he was exempt from the death penalty, he relaxed considerably.
“Until her limbs are regenerated, you are sent to the Penance Camp. Only after three deadly battles can you return to the Tiger Clan forces.”
Lu Li continued.
“But White Rabbit’s Limb Regeneration is your responsibility.”
“Yes…”
Hearing these rules, the Tiger Clan guard lowered his head.
“Xiu Popo, please draft a new document as a supplement to Blackstone City’s rules.”
After Lie Shan bowed to Lu Li in farewell and dragged away the dejected Tiger Clan guard, Xiu Popo immediately prepared brush and ink.
“With today as the boundary, the past will not pursue the death penalty, but the future will never be forgiven.”
“Holy Maiden Lu… if only you were a Yao.”
Xiu Popo sighed as she quickly wrote the verdict on today’s Tiger Clan guard and the relevant examples regarding the old and new regulations.
“Precisely because I am not a Yao, I am able to do these things.”
Lu Li looked at Liu Qingxi, who smiled at her.
“I have to thank these human friends who came with me to make these things possible.”
“That’s true…”
As Xiu Popo wrote the document, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
“I hope Xiao Li can learn a lot from the Human Race.”
“She definitely can.”
Lu Li nodded. At that moment, Yuan He entered the room with dark circles under his eyes.
“Lu Li, the Spirit Testing Plate is basically complete.”
“Thank you very much.”
Lu Li nodded.
“Does it have the same effect as originally intended?”
“Exactly. It can distinguish those Yao… ah, or rather, the difference between Mortal Beasts and Frenzied Beasts.”
Yuan He yawned.
“For the subsequent part, suitable spirit materials might be needed, and it will take enough time. But it’s sufficient for now.”
“Then no problem. First send it to the Livestock Office for testing, then go to the Wolf Clan Warehouse and pick any three magical artifacts or heavenly materials and earthly treasures.”
Lu Li nodded as she looked at the Yao documents flying in like snowflakes.
“I feel like we didn’t come to the Yao Race as spies after all.”
“Rather than directly starting a war within the Yao Race, it’s better to unite those who can be united and reduce killing.”
Yuan He smiled.
“By the way, Lu Li, do you plan to go see how Liu Qingyun’s plan is progressing?”
“I definitely want to, but his school establishment shouldn’t be that fast, right?”
As Lu Li asked, Liu Qingxi cast a Water Mirror.
“It takes time to screen suitable Yao personnel and compile basic textbooks in Blackstone City.”
“Yes, and Liu Qingyun also has to oversee the Yao building their own territories to provide us with material for later.”
Yuan He waved to Lu Li.
“I’ll go rest too. The communication jade disks I made for temporary contact took a lot of my energy… of course, if you need me to make magical artifacts, call me again.”
In the midst of the bustling activity, Xiu Popo finished writing the document and hurriedly ran out of the mansion to post it. Meanwhile, Lu Li rested in her chair for a moment.
Just as she was about to stand up, she noticed Liu Qingxi staring at her.
“What’s wrong, Liu Qingxi?”
“I was thinking whether we should continue what we left unfinished on the flying boat earlier.”
“But it’s not really appropriate.”
“Yes, not really appropriate.”
Liu Qingxi shook her head and once again brought out the Divination Jade Disk.
“Then let’s hope all this ends soon.”
