Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Li Yang looked at the splendid Yunlan City before them, a hint of awe in her eyes. As the Imperial City, Yunlan City was absolutely majestic. It was more magnificent than even the largest city on the Water Planet.

The tall buildings here were built from crystals, scattering the light into the colors of the rainbow. The ground paving and city walls were impenetrable meteor stones.

In the shops on either side of the road, there were all kinds of merchandise, elixirs, Dharma treasures, talisman charms, and weapons. Powerful auras were emitted from these stores, causing the passing crowds to stare with heated gazes.

The crowds walking along the streets were all powerful self-cultivators; the weakest amongst them were spirit king realm masters, and many were spirit emperor realm masters.

Qingfeng Li even sensed the presence of a spirit supreme realm master like himself nearby. It was an old man, dressed in green; he looked to be over a hundred years old, with white hair and a white beard. And although he hid his power well, Qingfeng Li still felt the presence his body emitted.

Noticing Qingfeng Li, the green-robed old man turned to glance at him; then, he vanished.

“Puppy,” Qingfeng Li inquired of the Black Puppy. “Use your nose again and sniff around. Find Mengyao Xu’s specific location so we can go find her.”

The Black Puppy nodded. Using its doggy nose, it sniffed around on the side of the street. A black glow appeared from its nostrils and covered the entire Yunlan City.

After five minutes, Black Puppy stopped. It reached out its paw and pointed East. “There’s a restaurant one kilometer in that direction,” it said. “Mengyao Xu is there.”

A hint of joy appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes; he led the Black Puppy and Li Yang eastward. They walked quickly and, after only a short while, they arrived at the location.

The restaurant was a towering building, over a dozen stories tall, made entirely from white crystals. The building emitted a soft white glow.

On the front face of the building were written in large letters: Phoenix Palace. It could also be read as Phoenix in Flight. To the side, there was a crystal sculpture of a phoenix; it was extremely lifelike and looked like it was about to take to the skies.

In front of the palace’s door, there stood four guards in black. They were very tall, each reaching six-foot-three, and wore heavy black steel armor. They carried spears in their hands, stopping anyone from entering.

When Qingfeng Li, Li Yang, and Black Puppy moved to enter, their paths were blocked by the four black-armored guards.

Qingfeng Li’s brows furrowed. “We’re going for a meal,” he said. “Why are you stopping us?”

“The Third Princess is eating inside,” the leading guard spoke coldly, his face stoic. “No one is permitted to enter.”

“Third Princess?” Qingfeng Li’s brow furrowed further as he asked. “Which Third Princess?”

Hearing his words, the towering guard let out a laugh; there was a look of contempt in his eyes.

“You peasant,” he said, voice cold. “What, were you living under a rock? You haven’t even heard of the Third Princess? The Third Princess, the most beautiful woman in all of Lingyun; she’s the Emperor’s favorite princess, the apple of his eye.”

Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes, speechless. He had just arrived on the Crimson Fire Continent and just entered the country of Lingyun. How would he have heard of this Third Princess.

Black Puppy stuck out a paw, nudging Qingfeng Li’s pant leg. “I smell Mengyao Xu’s scent,” it whispered. “She’s right inside this restaurant.”

Qingfeng Li frowned again. From Black Puppy’s words, he knew that Mengyao Xu was in this building before them. But, just now, the guard had informed them that the Third Princess was inside. Could it be that Mengyao Xu and this Third Princess were connected somehow?

Qingfeng Li had never really known much about Mengyao Xu’s origins. He hadd used to think that she was just a female cop on Earth.

But after some investigation, he found that there were many points of suspicion hidden about her. Many people did not know where she came from, or where she went to; then, she had mysteriously disappeared from the face of the Earth.

Looking at the Phoenix Palace before him, Qingfeng Li suddenly opened his mouth to let out a shout. “Yaoyao!”

Qingfeng Li’s cry was loud; he had used his Soul power to send out a sonic wave. The shout rang throughout a two-kilometer radius. Everyone standing in front of the Phoenix Palace had heard him.

At this moment, inside the Phoenix Palace, the Third Princess was having tea with a female friend. This friend of hers had quite the background; she was the daughter of the King Warden of the South, Princess Red-Swallow.

Both the Third Princess and Princess Red-Swallow had heard the shout just now. A look of shock came over the Third Princess’s face. It was a familiar voice, one which she had heard many times before; she had never in a million years have thought that she would hear it again in the Imperial City. She sat there in shocked disbelief.

Beside her, Princess Red-Swallow blinked several times. She stared at the Third Princess with a strange expression.

As a good friend of the Third Princess, Princess Red-Swallow naturally knew that the Third Princess had a pet name, Yaoyao.

But she also knew that very few dared to actually use this name; only the Emperor and the Empress Consort were permitted to call her such, and absolutely no one else. Now, however, someone outside the palace had shouted out the Third Princess’ pet name. If anyone found out, he would certainly be beheaded.

Outside the Phoenix Palace, the four guards, having heard Qingfeng Li’s shout, jumped in their skins. Their expressions changed to one of terror. They knew full well that the Third Princess was enjoying tea inside the restaurant. If she were to be disturbed, they’d certainly be reprimanded.

Glaring at Qingfeng Li, the tall guard shouted. “Bastard! What are you screaming for? Do you want to die?”

Beside the tall guard, the other three guards quickly took out their black-steel spears. As they activated their vital essences, the black-steel spears emitted a harsh energy; they pointed at Qingfeng Li as though they were about to run him through.

Just then, there came a lovely but firm voice from up in the building. “Stop, all of you!”

Then, a beautiful lady in a green dress walked down from the building. She had exquisite features and snow-white skin, her figure graceful. Her eyes shone with striking brightness.

Upon seeing this woman, the tall guard rushed into a bow. “Princess Red-Swallow,” he said, “Why did you come down?”

Princess Red-Swallow gazed at the tall guard. “Put down your spears,” she said, her voice indifferent. “The Third Princess wants this young man to go upstairs.”

With a faint smile, Princess Red-Swallow led Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, and Li Yang into the Phoenix Palace, leaving the four tall guards dumbstruck.

They knew better than anyone that the Third Princess was extremely mysterious. She seldom invited male friends for meals; but now, she was actually inviting Qingfeng Li to dine with her. If word of this got out, the whole Imperial City would be in an uproar.

Those young nobles and aristocrats would certainly be envious and stir up trouble around Qingfeng Li. After all, the Third Princess had many admirers within the Imperial City, and all of them were powerful, both in strength and influence.
