Chapter 1431 - Another Deep Pit (2/2)

Along the way, Sima Xiu Qi and Huang Ying Ying told her some news about the inner region. The more she knew, the more she felt that there was no end to it!

For example, the Sima family, which she thought to be very powerful before, was actually not very powerful in the inner region.

For example, there were some very powerful family clans whose forces reigned over the entire state. That alone could already let one know how powerful such families were.

However, this was only true in the forty-ninth state, and there were still many major forces contending in the other states.

But from their words, this major power that reigned in the forty-ninth state was absolutely comparable to the power in the top ten states. It’s just that they didn’t want to move, so they remained and settled in the forty-ninth state.

“Sigh…” She sighed in her heart, “Even if Paramount Valley expands its power to the inner region, the place that I can go to is the state that’s at the end…”

After experiencing so much, she finally felt that she was quite a capable person who had accomplished quite a few feats. She thought that she had reached the top but after arriving here, she felt that she had been tossed all the way to the back again.

However, she also decided in her heart that she must create a world of hers in this treacherous inner region!

After traveling along the road for two days, they finally arrived at their destination – Tangerine City.

“Tangerine City, don’t tell me… the City Lord likes to eat tangerines?” Sima You Yue looked at the three words ‘Tangerine City’ inscribed majestically on the city wall and jested.

“How did you know?!” Sima Xiu Qi asked in surprise, “This city was not called Tangerine City before, because the current City Lord likes to eat tangerine spirit fruits, so he changed its name to Tangerine City.”

“…”

Sima You Yue was speechless, she had just guessed it casually, but she didn’t expect it to be true.

Because he loves to eat tangerines, so he changed the name of the city that has been used for thousands of years. This City Lord was really willful!

“I heard that no one knows the origin of the current City Lord. He made a bet with the previous City Lord, he won and became the City Lord. After he became the City Lord, he ordered people to go everywhere to find him tangerines and all the tangerines in the vicinity had all been eaten up by him.” Sima Xiu Qi told her what he heard last time.

“He ate them all?! No one voiced any objections? They just accepted it so willingly?” Sima You Yue asked in surprise, “Besides, he is a City Lord who appeared out of nowhere, are his people so obedient? Will they listen to his words?”

“Of course they listen to his words!” Sima Xiu Qi didn’t think about this and replied almost immediately. “I heard that someone had made trouble, but I don’t know what he did later and the people in Tangerine City all listen to him.”

“He has quite a talent!” Sima You Yue exclaimed.

“He’s just a prick.” Wu Lingyu on the side saw that Sima You Yue was so interested in that person, and snorted coldly.

“Pfftt——” Sima You Yue laughed out, grabbed his hand affectionately and said, “Your body is only slightly more than three hundred years old, but your words sound like one of an elder.”

“I’m younger than him, just look at me.” Wu Lingyu said aggressively.

“…”

“You You, Sage Pavilion and Sima Family are in opposite directions, so we have to separate here. Even if I’m not by your side, you can only have me in your eyes and heart, you know?” Wu Lingyu grabbed her hand. His fingers poked her heart, declaring his sovereignty.

Sima You Yue patted his hand and said, “When did I have someone else in my eyes? Hmph! If you are so domineering, I can find someone else!”

“You dare to?!” Wu Lingyu stretched out his hand and squeezed her face. If it weren’t for the presence of the elders in her family, he would have kissed her right now.
