“Third Brother, I…”
Liu Guanfeng's expression darkened: “What do you mean by 'I'? If you still recognize me as your Third Brother, then listen to me. Go and be a good king, and then have ten or eight Little Buns.”
At this moment, Iron Bull chimed in teasingly: “Third Brother is right; you have to produce a whole batch of Little Buns.”
Finally, Bao Rui nodded in agreement: “I will follow whatever Third Brother commands. Just make sure to come and see me often.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t forget you.”
Then Liu Guanfeng turned his attention to Copper Bull and the others: “Bao Rui has agreed to be king, so he needs his own team. No one should hide; everyone has a part to play. Copper Bull and Iron Bull, you two will serve as generals for Bao Rui, helping him protect the Nation. He just became king, and the other two countries will definitely not be very friendly, so we’ll need your help.”
“Third Brother, what about us?”
“What about you two? Are you still young? Uncle is already anxious for grandchildren. You are all part of the Liu Family, and we can't fall behind the buns. If anyone lags behind, just wait until I deal with them.”
Both Copper Bull and Iron Bull immediately lowered their heads, with Iron Bull mumbling, “Then I might as well go home and marry an old sow.”
Liu Guanfeng simply smiled without responding. He then turned his gaze to Platinum Wen: “Platinum Wen, although you are my classmate, I have always regarded you as my brother. Now that Bao Rui New King has ascended the throne, everything in the country must start anew. You are very familiar with business, so I hope you can go help him.”
Platinum Wen immediately nodded in agreement: “Don’t worry; as soon as Bao Rui's Appointment Document arrives, I will resign from my position immediately.”
“Hai Tao, I am entrusting the Red Star Mercenary Group to you. I hope you can gather materials and intelligence for Bao Rui, and lend a helping hand when difficulties arise.”
"Third Brother, don't worry. After all, there are still my father, Eastern Uncle, and Aunt Liu Hong helping out over there at Red Star."
"Zhenyang, you will have to bear the burden here. I am entrusting the authority of Diaoyu Island to you. You can stay on Diaoyu Island permanently; getting married and starting a family there would be best. However, you also need to continue assisting Bao Rui in training new soldiers. Remember, after you ascend the throne, there will still be a reserve army for you on Diaoyu Island."
Du Zhenyang nodded. "Third Brother, leave it to me and rest assured. As for marriage and having children, we can discuss that later. But I will take good care of the soldiers and will not tarnish your reputation."
"Well then, One-Pin Hall will still be under your management, but from now on, you can directly discuss matters with Bao Rui without needing to involve me. I want you to become Bao Rui's information hub; all information, big or small, must be delivered accurately and promptly into his hands."
Dai did not speak but glanced at Bao Rui and then nodded at Liu Guanfeng.
"With your help, I believe Bao Rui has no reason not to be a good emperor."
"Third Brother, do you have any plans?"
"Not for now. After I take a break for a while, I might go check out other places. I've only collected two of these small tokens; there are still five left to gather." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng placed the small tokens from his waist onto the table.
Everyone gathered around. Iron Bull looked at the tokens on the table and asked, "Third Brother, what are these things?"
"This is called The Game of the Supreme God. The objective of the game is to collect all the tokens and combine them into one."
"Third Brother, what do the engravings on them represent?"
Liu Guanfeng shook his head. "I'm not sure either; it might be a story."
"Third Brother, after you finish collecting everything, can you tell me this story?"
"You're such a hassle. I'll tell you once I'm done collecting."
After Liu Guanfeng arranged everything, he began to wait for news from the Eastern Dragon Empire. During this time, Liu Guanfeng sent his air force to bring back his mother, Li Xiaohan, Zhang Yuru, and Wang Jiao, who were living on the Four Sacred Islands. According to Liu Guanfeng, a king cannot ascend the throne without the company of a queen, and having both the coronation and wedding on the same day is a double celebration.
After a month of waiting, the reply from the Eastern Dragon Empire finally arrived. Bao Rui successfully became the new ruler of the former Starfall Kingdom territory.
The day after receiving the notification, Bao Rui set off with Wang Jiao to the location of the former Imperial Capital of Star Rain City in Starfall Kingdom. Since Sun Liang moved into Starlight City, he ordered that the original Starlight City be renamed Starfall City, while the original Starfall City lost its name.
However, accompanying Bao Rui was not just Wang Jiao; Liu Guanfeng, Liu Yong'an, Nangong Rong, Li Xiaohan, Zhang Yuru, and even Liu Guanlei and Liu Guanyu were also part of the entourage.
Along the way, Bao Rui discussed the name of the new country with Liu Guanfeng: "Third Brother, what do you think my country should be called?"
After thinking for three days, Liu Guanfeng replied to Bao Rui: "How about calling your country Five Star Nation?"
"Why Five Star Nation?"
"Five Star Nation refers to those who helped you establish your country. Platinum Wen can be called the Literary Star; Dai can be called the Demon Star; Song Haitao is the Martial Star; Du Zhenyang is the Hidden Star; Copper Bull and Iron Bull are brothers and can be called the Twin Stars. With these five stars assisting you, how could you not shine?"
"Five Star Nation, Five Star Nation. Alright, let's go with Third Brother's suggestion and call it Five Star Nation. What kind of flag should we design for Third Brother?"
"I think a flag featuring five stars holding up a moon would look great."
"Everything will be according to Third Brother's wishes."
After more than ten days, Bao Rui and the others entered the Capital City of the Five Star Nation. To express his gratitude to Liu Guanfeng for promoting him to this position, Bao Rui renamed the original Starfall City to Star Peak City.
Liu Guanfeng gave all his private soldiers to Bao Rui, and among them, the Short Longbowman team naturally became the first batch of the Five Star Nation's guards. At the same time, when Sun Liang left, he left half of the original treasury of Starfall Kingdom as initial capital for Bao Rui. Liu Guanfeng personally sponsored Bao Rui with fifty thousand gold coins and over a hundred Cores, while the Chinese Chamber of Commerce contributed two hundred thousand gold coins to help Bao Rui rebuild his territory.
Bao Rui went to various academies to select talented students, ensuring that all chosen individuals had good character. This suggestion came from Liu Guanfeng, who stated that a person's martial skills can be trained and social conduct can be learned, but character is innate and must be a key focus in assessments.
After two months, Bao Rui finally finalized his first batch of ministers, which included students from various academies, teachers, and hermits.
Two months later, Bao Rui was finally ready for everything. However, during these two months, he had not seen Wang Jiao at all. After returning to Starfall City, Wang Jiao went directly back home to Rain City.
When Wang Jiao arrived home, her mother was overjoyed and wept with happiness, asking her daughter many questions. Wang Jiao's sudden disappearance had caused her parents much distress; they searched for a long time before concluding that she must have encountered an accident.
Upon learning that Wang Jiao had gone with Bao Rui, her father erupted in anger and declared he would seek revenge on Bao Rui. Wang Jiao quickly stopped her father and said, "Father, it was you who said you would find me a husband. My heart has always been with Bao Rui, which is why I left without saying goodbye. I hope you can forgive me."
"Tell me, have you married that kid Bao Rui yet?"
"Not yet."
"What? Not married yet? What have you two been doing together for so many years? Isn't he just using you? Why did you come back this time? Did that kid abandon you?"
"No, Father. I came back this time to tell you that I am going to marry Bao Rui. He once said that he wouldn't marry me until he made something of himself; he wants to bring me home in a grand manner in front of both of you."
Wang Jiao's father calmed down a bit after hearing the news. "That kid has some ambition. Don't forget that the last time I tried to find you a match, it was the son of a wealthy merchant. Your Bao Rui needs to be at least as good as him; otherwise, I won't agree to your wedding."
Wang Jiao smiled slightly. "Please don't worry, Father. Besides coming back to see you both, I have something important to do."
"Something important? What is it?"
Wang Jiao smiled again. "Moving."
"Moving? Why would we move when we're doing well here in Rain City? Although we have some family assets, I know it won't be easy for us in other big cities. Besides, all our property is here. Where do you want us to move?"
"Star Peak City."
"Star Peak City? What kind of place is that? I've never heard of it." Wang Jiao's father shook his head and looked at her mother, who also shook her head in confusion.
"Father, Mother, Star Peak City is the former Starfall City. This is the new name just established by our New Majesty."
"New Majesty? What about our previous monarch? Wasn't it His Majesty Sun Liang? Why has it changed? Oh right, I heard that our country won a great victory over Hua Xing. Who is our New Majesty now? Your Bao Rui must have gotten an official position, right?"
Wang Jiao nodded and said, "You guessed right this time, Father. Our New Majesty will soon ascend the throne, and Bao Rui has also secured an official position. He has prepared a residence for you both in Star Peak City so that you can live there comfortably."
Wang Jiao's father nodded and said, "That kid has really made something of himself; he’s become an official. What position does he hold? A general or a Minor General? Or is he a supervisor there? Don’t tell me he’s become the Prime Minister."
"Father, those positions are still looking for suitable candidates."
"Um? Isn't your Bao Rui still serving as a retainer for someone?"
Wang Jiao smiled slyly, "Father, he is still Liu Guanfeng's retainer. He has told me that no matter what happens in the future, he will always be Liu Guanfeng's retainer. However, besides this identity, he has another one."
"Don't give me that cheeky smile, just tell me what the other identity is!"
Wang Jiao pouted, "What other identity could it be? He's the king of the Five Star Nation."
For a moment, Wang Jiao's father was taken aback and then nodded, "Well, that's more like it. What do you mean the king of the Five Star Nation? Where is this Five Star Nation located?" It was only after he finished speaking that he realized.
At this point, Wang Jiao was holding her stomach and rolling on the bed with laughter. After a while, she managed to sit up straight again: "Father, the former Huaxing Kingdom has been renamed to Starfall Kingdom, and our original Starfall Kingdom has been renamed to Five Star Nation. And your son-in-law is now the new king of our Five Star Nation. Do you understand now? Father, you are now the father-in-law of our country's king."
"Wait a minute, don't rush. Let me think this through; it feels so chaotic all of a sudden. You said our former Starfall Kingdom is now called what? Five Star Nation, right? And that foolish boy you fancy is our king?"
Wang Jiao smiled and nodded, "Exactly."
Hearing this from Wang Jiao, her father finally realized that his daughter was about to become the queen of a nation. So, he immediately began selling off his properties in Rain City, and then held grand banquets for a whole week to celebrate. Afterward, the Royal Family moved all their assets to Star Peak City. In Star Peak City, Bao Rui arranged a residence for them.
After two months of preparation, on an auspicious day, Bao Rui was set to hold his coronation ceremony and wedding. He announced to the world that the new country, Five Star Nation, had been established. The entire ceremony lasted three days and included a general amnesty; everyone except for the most heinous criminals received reduced sentences or were released.
After the coronation ceremony, Bao Rui became the first king of the Five Star Nation, and Wang Jiao became its first queen.
