Chapter 1143 What Saint?

Qiao Ran pulled Qiao Dong over:

"Actually, I am a woman. This is my eldest brother, and he is your eldest prince."

He also pulled his younger brother Qiao Bei over:

"This is my little brother, your second prince."

The Imperial Master looked at the three siblings and was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

"Good! Good! That's great! Your Majesty the King has a successor, and our Agate Kingdom will prosper forever!"

Then he knelt down to the heavens:

"Thank God! The Saint has indeed been sent to rescue us poor island dwellers! We have a Saint! We have a Saint!"

When the other islanders heard this, they were so excited that they knelt down and worshiped the sky:

"Thank God! We have a Saint!"

Qiao Ran was confused by these people's reactions.

What saint?

It is understandable that they are excited about the king having a successor, but why do they seem more excited about being a woman?

Bama stepped forward to clear her confusion:

"In the legends passed down from generation to generation by us islanders, the Saint is a celestial being who can save us from hardship and bring us prosperity.

When you first came to the island, everyone was very grateful to you and wondered if you were a fairy from heaven who came to help us.

But because you were dressed as a man at that time, everyone was just guessing, and some people even felt a little regretful that you were not a saint.

Now that you are a woman, and have done so much for us, bringing about earth-shaking changes to the island, you must be a goddess descended from heaven, our Saint!"

"I see!"

Qiao Ran understood that the saint was equivalent to the spiritual leader of some tribes, a more sacred existence than the chief or king.

Sure enough, when the islanders learned that their "Grand Prince" was actually a woman, they were not disappointed at all, but even more ecstatic. They couldn't help but kneel down to express their gratitude and shouted "Saint".

Qiao Dajiang had actually guessed that such a scene would happen long ago, so he was not surprised at all.

However, the Qiao family, secret guards and officers and soldiers of the navy camp were deeply moved when watching this scene.

For these islanders who once lived in harsh conditions, as backward as savages, and were at risk of being invaded, expelled, or even killed by foreign enemies at any time, someone who gave them weapons and seeds, taught them how to farm, learn medicine, and defend against enemies, so that they could defend their homes while growing stronger, this person was the God who came to save them!

The Saint is a god-like existence and is the goddess in the eyes of everyone in their Agate Country.

"Alright, everyone, get up! We've brought some new weapons this time. I've also improved the bows and catapults. I'll give you the blueprints later. We can upgrade the weapons on our island again."

Qiao Ran told everyone not to be so polite, as she couldn't stand this kind of kneeling ceremony.

When dozens of boxes of weapons were carried off the ship, the islanders' gratitude to the saint deepened.

They really need these new weapons!

The national teacher led the way and took everyone to the much-expanded meeting hall. As the king, Qiao Dajiang began to ask about the current situation on the island and whether the Agate Kingdom had been invaded by foreign enemies during the nearly two years that he was away.

Speaking of this, the National Master and others have a lot to say.

"Your Majesty, Saint, since we presented our credentials, most other countries have expressed friendly intentions.

However, the Japanese Kingdom completely ignored the fact that the Agate Kingdom had already been established, and often had ships disguised as merchant ships intrude into our waters and attempt to land on the island.

As of last month, since you left, Japan has invaded us sixteen times, but we have driven them all away."
