Chapter 1589: Wengka City
Today’s morning sun was radiant.
Qingluan took to the skies with outstretched wings.
However, Qi Xuanxuan exclaimed in fright from the minor turbulence, and she hastily steadied herself.
While sitting on Qingluan’s back, Qiao Mu tugged on Qi Xuanxuan and warned gently, “Be careful. Don’t you fall off.”
Qi Xuanxuan burst into laughter. “My little great aunt, I am a level-13 great mystic cultivator at any rate. How could I fall off!”
“Qingluan’s flying speed is still very fast.” Qiao Mu exhorted, “It is best to be careful.”
“It really is very fast. At this speed, we will probably arrive at Wengka City before the sky even gets dark.”
As Qi Xuanxuan spoke, she suddenly thought of something. She turned toward Qiao Mu and asked quietly, “But speaking of which, do you know the way to Wengka City?”
“I’ve never been to Wengka City before. How would I know the way!” Qiao Mu looked up at the sky in exasperation.
Qi Xuanxuan: …
“Fine then! If we really don’t know the way, we can just come down and find someone to point the way.” Qi Xuanxuan suggested while twitching her mouth.
Say, it is really okay for you to be so unreliable?
She had thought that the little fellow had summoned Qingluan at the beginning because she knew the way.
Yet the truth was proven otherwise!
She had overthought everything…
Qingluan flew speedily through the sky, leaving Julu City far behind it in the blink of an eye.
These two little ones with no sense of direction finally arrived at Wengka City’s city gate at sunset.
They had planned to come down and ask for directions halfway, but it wasn’t until they landed that they realized that the land between these two cities was desolate and uninhabited!
After circling around in the sky for half the way, they finally found this city!
Qi Xuanxuan couldn’t resist wiping her forehead of sweat.
Ay! She didn’t expect for Shuntian Prefecture to be so out-of-the-way that the distance between cities would be this great.
“This simply can’t be compared to our Xiao Xuan Kingdom’s capital city. Our capital city is packed with people.”
Qi Xuanxuan felt nostalgia as she recalled the beauty of her homeland. “After a fortification was built in the capital, basically everyone swarmed to the capital. It was so lively! Forget it, this is already all in the past. Say Qiaoqiao, will this Wengka City collect entry fees from us.”
Qiao Mu harrumphed. “What do you think? From the line formed up ahead, there is no doubt that there is an entry fee!”
Speaking of which, this Shuntian Prefecture made a big haul just from collecting the various cities’ entry fees.
Not to mention the spirit currency outsiders had to pay each day to reside there temporarily.
Qi Xuanxuan puffed out her pet.i.te cheeks.
“These cities of Shuntian Prefecture really run a profitable business. Look at them, even the soldiers in the city guard have greasy faces and large ears from how well-fed they are. It’s obvious at a glance that they’re not anything good,” Qi Xuanxuan grumbled quietly.
Qiao Mu looked at her exasperatedly, “Alright, other people have nothing to do with us! Let’s go find out exactly how much we need to pay to enter the city? I feel like this Wengka City is slightly bigger than the Julu City from before.”
“Perhaps their entry fee… will be more expensive than Julu City’s,” Qiao Mu a.n.a.lyzed.
What? Qi Xuanxuan couldn’t resist yelping in surprise.
Heavens! Could these people all have been robbers in their past lives?
One spirit currency still wasn’t enough for a city’s entry fee? They actually wanted even more!
Qiao Mu shook her head: The ways of the world nowadays were like this.
If you wanted to live on, you only had to adhere strictly to this world’s rules. It was only that.
