Phoenix Returns - C63

After seeing him leave the snow, Master Chu opened the package he had left behind. Inside was a cloak made of wolf skin, some rations and a few rabbits.

He was not afraid of the cold, so he did not need to starve anymore. He brought these things back to the cave and did not see Yu Wuyou.

He divided the rabbits into two parts and gave them to the Fire Lion and the little fox. Then, he took one and placed it on the campfire rack to roast.

Master Chu had been waiting for Yu Wuyou inside the cave for two days. Originally, he had left some food and warm clothes for him, but Yu Wuyou had yet to return. She had no choice but to leave the snow-capped mountain.

In a few days, they would arrive at Wang Yan City. The snow orchid was far to the north, and this city was the only way to reach the other kingdoms. Only after entering the city could one truly step into the territory of the Kingdom of Xuelang.

Gazing Yan City was an important trade road. In Xuelan, only wealthy people could buy a cloak and hat made from the famous snow sculptures and the fur of Ice Apes.

There were only 20-30 items produced in a year. The ones that could reach the other countries were the only inferior items left, but the price was double that of the one produced by the snow orchids.

The warmth was stronger than any kind of fur, because snow sculptures and ice apes were found in steep snowy ridges, and they were difficult to capture, so they became a rare treasure among the nations.

Chu Shiyu bought a hairpin from her head for silver taels and sold a snow sculpture cloak, which was much warmer than the one she had stolen.

When draped over his shoulders, it gave him a magnificent appearance, preventing him from being frozen like a chick and making him tremble wherever he sat.

He had just entered a restaurant and sat down. After drinking a few mouthfuls of wine, he saw a luxurious car coming from the streets of Wangyan City.

A row of soldiers was escorting them from the front and back. The crowd was packed on both sides of the street, and the scene was more spectacular than the scene of a king leaving the palace.

The two men sitting opposite him pointed at the street and said softly, “Did you see that? The person who sat on the carriage was the Imperial Advisor Tian Chen from the Snowy Mountains. A few days ago, he went to Lu Hanshan to soak in a hot spring. He had just returned today. You said that you will stay in Wangyan City for the night, and will only start your journey tomorrow. ”

“I really don’t understand. Although a dignified Imperial Advisor has great authority, he enjoys the blessing of an Emperor in the Snowy Orchid Kingdom. No matter what he does, no one can beat him. “It was even reported that he had an impure relationship with the later concubine, but His Majesty pretended not to see it at all. It’s true that the king and his officials did not differentiate, and did not achieve anything.”

“Hush ~ Hush, these words will bring about trouble.”

“Come, come, let’s continue drinking. We commoners don’t have to bother ourselves with such matters. Let’s drink!”

After the two men finished, they lowered their heads and continued drinking, but these words were clearly heard by Master Chu.

So there was actually such a legend in the snow? She was becoming more and more interested in this Tianchen Imperial Advisor.

Only when people were asleep did Chu Shiyu leap out of the inn’s window. She went into the city and stood on the roof of a building to watch.

The security of the city was tight, and even though the Imperial Advisor was cautious in his movements, he was no small figure.

Master Chu was curious. Other than the Emperor, how could a State Grandmaster be so solemn? It was likely that the heavy guard did not raise his status, but was always afraid of someone taking his life?

Avoiding the sight of the patrolling soldiers, he jumped from the roof to a large courtyard in the middle of the night.

Master Chu leaped to the roof and gently lifted up a tile. Other than State Scholar Tian Chen, there was also County Governor Wang Yan.

At first, it looked like the county governor was sealing Grandmaster Tian Chen’s corpse. However, the two of them were the only two people in the room. The conversation had alarmed Master Chu.

The county governor said, “State Grandmaster, have you brought any news from the warehouse when you went to soak in the hot spring?”

“A few months ago, Da Cang lost more than five hundred thousand troops in the Western Territory. A million lions lost their lives in one night, and the Da Cang Emperor became furious. He no longer has any plans. Right now, there’s no need for Xue Lan to do anything.

“What kind of person is it exactly, to be able to annihilate an army of a hundred thousand in a single night?” That’s a few hundred thousand, not a few thousand? ”

“Hmph ~” Tian Chen laughed coldly, “I’m afraid you won’t even believe this person. She’s still just a girl, and is also said to be the Grand Princess Chu Shiyu who was resurrected from the Heavenly Master Kingdom.”

The county governor exclaimed, “Even if she is the principal princess, she is still an ordinary girl. Why did she annihilate an army of hundreds of thousands? That’s inconceivable!”

“To be able to destroy an army of a hundred thousand in one night, is she still an ordinary girl? It was said that when she came back, she had the Fire Lion mount and learned the Life Snatching Zither Technique. Her martial arts were powerful and ruthless. In order to stabilize his little brother’s court, he had personally ordered him to kill more than a thousand people in the clan. This kind of vicious woman is the only one in the world. ”

“So that’s how it is. After hearing this, this official will have a whole new level of respect for women!”

“After the battle in the Western Territory, it’s not as simple as having a whole new level of respect for women! This woman, her fate is filled with an aura of death. Who knows what this world will end up like? ”

Chu Shiyu was squatting on the roof. He didn’t know whether he was praising her or mocking her.

It was true that the Western Territory had lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but that had not happened overnight. She was heartless, but exterminating the entire clan was heartless.

What she couldn’t wrap her head around was that as the teacher of the State of Heavenly Dust, his position was high and he held power over the imperial government. His words were all from a vantage point. Had the internal affairs of Shallan fallen into enemy hands long ago? What kind of person was this Imperial Advisor?

Chu Shiyu gently put the tile back, but it startled Tian Chen. His eyes flashed, and he immediately flicked a finger at the roof. A vicious air struck the tile.

Tian Chen jumped out of the house and stepped on the pillar to check on the roof, but there was nothing there.

Master Chu, who was hiding under the eaves, wiped his sweat. It seemed that this Tian Chen was not a simple person. If he wanted to obtain the dragon scales from the snow orchids, he would have to pass through him.

When Chu Shiyu raised his head, there was no longer any trace of the dust of the sky. He only saw a streak of fire flying towards him. Even as he leaned forward to dodge, the fire still burned his clothes.

He had only seen him play with fire, but he had never seen anyone who could play with fire better than him!

However, Tian Chen was truly a little too strong. She had already tried her best to hide her presence, but he still discovered her.

After Tian Chen had tracked him all the way outside of the city, Master Chu finally stopped and turned around, asking, “Chasing after me relentlessly, aren’t you afraid of dodging your old bones?”

“Hmph ~ You still want to see who this old man is?” Stealing from me will cause you to die without a burial ground. ” Tian Chen angrily said with an imposing manner!

“Since you want to give chase, then come! Keep your strength at bay, and don’t tire yourself out. ”

Chu Shiyu sneered, then leaped to the north.

Tian Chen chased for a few miles outside of the city before stopping. At this moment, he was panting heavily. He felt that this little girl’s speed was astonishingly fast.

If he continued to chase her, he would be exhausted before he could catch her. If he intentionally lured her out of the city, wouldn’t he fall into his trap?
