âI just donât like people from imperial families,â Leng Ruoxue explained. Her tone wasnât too good yesterday.
âI donât like them either,â Ju Ri agreed. People from imperial families were indeed annoying.
âBig Brother Ju, if you donât want to be controlled by others, you have to become a powerhouse above everyone,â Leng Ruoxue reminded.
âOkay, I will work hard.â How could Ju Ri not know what Ruoxue was thinking? But it wasnât so easy to become a true powerhouse.
âBig Brother Ju, where is the pill I gave you?â Leng Ruoxue asked.
âItâs still here. Iâve been keeping it all this while!â Ju Ri said. The spiritual energy in the pill was very abundant. It was obvious at a glance that it was no ordinary pill.
âBig Brother Ju, when you become a Spiritual Sovereign, that pill can help you break through to Spiritual Supremacy.â Leng Ruoxue turned and left, leaving behind a dazed Ju Ri.
When nearly everyone was awake, they divided the work to prepare breakfast.
âHey, go and get that commoner to wait on me!â the snobbish princess ordered Ju Ri domineeringly.?Why is that damn woman more beautiful than me? There are so many handsome men surrounding her too. Hmph!?She felt pissed off just looking at the scene.
âPrincess, stop making a fuss. Hurry up and finish your breakfast so we can continue on our journey,â Ju Ri said impatiently.
âHow dare you shout at me! Do you want to die?â the princess, who had always been able to do whatever she wanted, roared furiously.
Ju Ri glared coldly at the princess and then left.
âJu Ri⦠how dare you! Xiao Juan, go and tell that commoner to come and serve me.â Seeing Ju Ri leave, the princess was even angrier and directly ordered her maidservant bossily.
âYes.â The maidservant named Xiao Juan had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk toward Leng Ruoxue and the others.
âMiss, our princess invites you over,â Xiao Juan whispered fearfully.?These people donât like they should be provoked, but why does the princess dislike them?
âAre you talking to me?â Leng Ruoxue asked lightly while holding a grilled rabbit thigh in one hand.
âYes,â Xiao Juan said fearfully.?Heavens, why do I feel that this young lady is more like a princess than our princess?
âI donât think your princess wants to invite me over!â Leng Ruoxue said softly. The princess spoke so loudly that they couldnât pretend not to hear her.
âErm⦠Ermâ¦â Seeing the unfriendly gazes, Xiao Juan felt her legs go weak.
âScram,â Ye Chen said coldly.
Ah!?Xiao Juan was so scared that she hurriedly ran back.?Heavens! That manâs expression just now was really too scary.
âPrincess, this servantâ¦â Xiao Juan knelt in front of the princess, her face full of fear.
âUseless thing!â The princess slapped Xiao Juan on the face and scolded her.
âYou lowly commoner, itâs your honor that this princess is willing to let you serve me. How dare you not know how to appreciate favors?â The princess walked directly to Leng Ruoxue and scolded her angrily.
âWho are you calling a commoner?â Leng Ruoxue narrowed her beautiful eyes, killing intent flashing in them.
âYou, of course. Hmph! Wouldnât a commoner have no money to stay in an inn?â the princess said matter-of-factly.
âDoesnât that mean youâre worse than a commoner? Donât forget. You borrowed your tent from someone else!â Leng Ruoxue reminded her.
âExactly! Without our tent, the princess would have had to sleep out in the wild,â Feng Da said mockingly.?Hmph, how dare a princess be rude to our young lady. She must be tired of living!
âYou lowly commoners, how dare you! I am a princess!â the princess roared furiously as she looked at the mocking and unfriendly gazes.
âCaptain, do you want to go over and take a look? Those people arenât to be trifled with!â A mercenary couldnât bear to watch any longer and whispered to Ju Ri. It would implicate their mercenary group if those people killed the princess in a fit of anger.
âIgnore her,â Ju Ri said coldly. He believed that Ruoxue would know her limits.
âFeng Da, throw her back!â Leng Ruoxue ordered. This was the Southern Dusk Empire after all. Even if she wanted to kill this princess, she wouldnât do it now.
âYes, Miss.â Feng Da picked up the princess like he was picking up a chicken and threw her back into her carriage. He then wiped his hands on the curtain of the carriage in disdain and walked back.
âAaahhhh! Y-you⦠I wonât let you go! Youâre dead!â the princess screamed, but she was completely ignored.
âXueâer, pack up and go!â Leng Qingtian said. If they hurried, they should reach Lunar Capital by tomorrow morning.
âOkay. Weâll get Quill to bring us there later!â Leng Ruoxue said.
âCaptain, should we set off?â a mercenary asked.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLetâs go!â Ju Ri ordered after Leng Ruoxue and the others left on the flying spirit beast.
â¦
Two hours later, Quill descended in front of the city gates of Lunar Capital.
âSo this is Lunar Capital! Itâs about the same as our Phoenix City!â Some students who had never been to Lunar Capital couldnât help but be a little disappointed when they saw the tall city walls. The Southern Dusk Empire was the wealthiest among the Five Great Countries, but it didnât look much different from their Phoenix City!
âItâs called seeing with your own eyes,â Leng Qingtian said. The reason the Southern Dusk Empire was regarded as the wealthiest of the five countries was mainly that the Huo family, the head of the Five Great Families, lived in Lunar Capital. But the money belonged to the Huo family and had nothing to do with the Southern Dusk Empire.
âGrandpa, Elder Qiu, letâs enter!â Leng Ruoxue said.
âOkay.â
Everyone strode into the capital. Someone welcomed them as they entered the city gates.
âYou must be Elder Qiu. I am Elder Yu from the Lunar Shadow Academy. I am in charge of receiving guests from the major academies,â a tall and thin old man introduced himself.
âGreetings, Elder Yu,â Elder Qiu said politely. He knew many elders from the Lunar Shadow Academy, but this was the first time he had seen Elder Yu.
âI have arranged accommodation for the Heavenly Phoenix Academy. Please follow me,â Elder Yu said sincerely.
Everyone followed Elder Yu for a while and stopped when he suddenly stopped.
