Chapter 342: Chapter 351: rmaid Country
Regarding the rmaid Princess’s betrothal ceremony, the four of them found it quite intriguing. Why would the most beautiful woman in the country choose such a way to find a husband? It was puzzling indeed.
Logically, there are countless sons of nobles and ministers who admire and pursue her. If she ends up choosing a seventy or eighty-year-old man or soone very unattractive, would that be acceptable?
The four were very skeptical, believing that the betrothal was not as simple as it seed. It might be a royal conspiracy.
At this ti, He Juan approached Chu Linfeng and said, "Sect Leader, the food and drinks are ready. This is to welco you!"
Chu Linfeng looked at her coldly and said, "Didn’t I tell you to call
Lin Feng from now on? Stop using Sect Leader. I don’t want my identity exposed, and I hope there won’t be a next ti."
He Juan nodded imdiately, then Chu Linfeng and his group were arranged in a very distinctive room. Apart from a round table and a few chairs, there were no other facilities inside. Of course, the table was already filled with delicious food.
A girl about twenty years old stood aside. She would refill the wine glass every ti soone finished their drink, then retreated to wait silently.
The four of them were not polite and began eating the delicacies on the table. According to He Juan, these were all rare delicious foods from the Sea Domain.
Midway through the al, Chu Linfeng said, "What exactly is the Golden Scale Treasure Robe you ntioned? Now that we’ve had enough drinks, why not tell us?"
He Juan stood up and said to Chu Linfeng, "The Golden Scale Treasure Robe is considered a priceless treasure of the rmaid Country. It is said to be forged from the scales shed by a rmaid when reaching the Saint Martial Realm, combined with Ten Thousand Year Black Gold.
Wearing this treasure robe creates a half-ter energy shield around the body, capable of withstanding random attacks from experts below the Saint Martial Realm. Its terrifying defense power is incredibly daunting.
To enter Ruo Shui, one must wear the Golden Scale Treasure Robe. The pressure in Ruo Shui is equal to the full-force attack of experts above the Seventh Layer of Divine Martial Realm."
Chu Linfeng felt a chill after hearing this. Initially, he was elated upon hearing about the energy shield. When Sima Jingyi was caught by the Purple Demon Thunder Fox, an energy shield was created, but it was not very resistant. If he had the Purple Demon Thunder Fox create another for him, it might break upon entering Ruo Shui, and his life would be in grave danger.
"How can one obtain the Golden Scale Treasure Robe? Aunt He, could you please tell ? It’s very important to ," Chu Linfeng said.
"The Golden Scale Treasure Robe is currently in the imperial palace of the rmaid Country, worn by the rmaid King. It’s quite difficult to obtain; the king’s power is nontrivial, having reached the Eighth Layer of Divine Martial Realm.
No one has been able to take it from him due to its defense power, which can resist attacks from Ninth Layer experts of Divine Martial Realm. Unless there’s help from a Saint Martial Realm expert, hope is slim," He Juan said a bit reluctantly.
The four of them felt disheartened upon hearing this, realizing it was nearly impossible. They were sowhat dejected.
However, He Juan’s words quickly brought them hope again. She said, "Though we can’t take it from him, soone else might be able to borrow it. The rmaid King loves his daughter, the current rmaid Princess, dearly. If one becos her Prince Consort, there might be a chance."
"Prince Consort? Are you suggesting we participate in the embroided ball betrothal ceremony?" Chu Linfeng responded promptly.
"Correct, that’s the only way. You might as well give it a try," He Juan said.
Chu Linfeng showed a troubled expression. He already had many won, and he did not need a rmaid Princess, especially since she might not be the Profound Yin or Nine Yin Body. Becoming the Prince Consort might be just causing her harm.
"Lin Feng, you might not want to, but soone else can!" Sword Spirit said in Chu Linfeng’s mind at this ti.
"Who?" Chu Linfeng asked gleefully, knowing Sword Spirit would help him solve problems, and this ti should be no exception.
"Your sworn eldest brother, Yuwen Qingkong, can. He carries the identity of a prince, while she is a princess, making a perfect match. There is a teleportation array from the rmaid Country to the Celestial Dragon Empire, making the marriage alliance beneficial for both parties," Sword Spirit said.
Chu Linfeng found it reasonable, so he quickly said to everyone, "Let’s go now! If we go late and soone else gets it, there will be no chance."
Dream Ji glanced at Chu Linfeng, not understanding why he would agree to this matter, but chose to say nothing, given the tense state of their relationship at present.
Afterwards, He Juan led the four out of the mansion. Since it was their first ti in rmaid Country, they were completely unfamiliar with the place, relying solely on He Juan for guidance.
"The place for the rmaid Princess’s betrothal ceremony is several hundred miles from here. I’ll take everyone flying. Once we reach the imperial city of the rmaid Country, be careful. The people there already dislike real humans, so avoid causing trouble," He Juan said.
With a wave of her hand, Chu Linfeng and the others followed her into the air, reaching their destination several hundred miles away in under ten minutes, landing a mile away from the imperial city.
The road was packed with people, and Chu Linfeng saw many with strange appearances, so with ear fins like fish, while others had faces covered with scales, and so even had fish heads and human bodies, which was quite bizarre.
These must be the local inhabitants of the rmaid Country, showcasing both human and fish traits. It’s hard to imagine what the supposed most beautiful rmaid Princess in the country would look like.
If she has fish fins growing by her ears, no matter how beautiful her face is, it would still appear unattractive.
Chu Linfeng looked up and saw that the city walls of the rmaid Country were even more magnificent than those of the Celestial Dragon Country’s imperial city, roughly fifty ters high, with many armored soldiers atop.
As for the length, it was hard to say since Chu Linfeng’s eye couldn’t even see the end, hinting at how imnse the imperial city was.
Shortly after, the five reached the city gate, which was guarded by dozens of soldiers. Everyone who entered had to pay a city entry fee.
Chu Linfeng noticed that humans specifically had to pay twice, and after the second ti, they received a red token, which seed odd.
Subsequently, Chu Linfeng and the five paid twice the Star Stone entry fee, costing two Upper Grade Star Stones, which was rather exorbitant, explaining why the rmaid Country was so wealthy.
Once in the city, Chu Linfeng saw that countless vendors still dominated, similar to everywhere else, but with differences in pricing.
At that mont, a few Human Race youths passed by Chu Linfeng, with one saying, "Let’s go quickly. We need to get the entry token to enter the rmaid Princess’s betrothal ceremony."
"Entry token? I thought it would be a public embroidery ball ceremony. I didn’t anticipate a specific location and regulations. It seems that we need to get a token as well," Chu Linfeng said to Yuwen Qingkong.
"I won’t go. I have little interest in this betrothal!" Yuwen Qingkong said.
"You have to go! Without you by my side, I’d be really helpless!" Chu Linfeng said.
Following that, they asked a passerby about how to acquire an entry token and hurried to get one...
