Chapter 197 (1/2)

The Palace (3)

It would be best if she could tag along, but the emperor only wanted to meet Ye Lang. Coldblood Seven didn’t understand. Why him??

Coldblood Seven would only find out when Ye Lang returned. Before they did, she could only speculate!

When the arrived at the palace, Coldblood Seven reminded them of their mission again, then they went separate ways. Coldblood Seven went to meet the prince and princess, while Ye Lang borrowed the spirit girl’s identity to make his first step into Vermilion Bird Empire’s heart- the palace!

The Vermilion Bird Palace naturally had many Vermilion Bird symbols, i.e. on the gates and on the rooftops, even the window panes. It was everywhere.

However, every picture of the bird was unique, so it didn’t feel repetitive at all!

Compared to the Soaring Sky Empire’s palace, this was a little small- but it gave a very mystical vibe. This was because this palace was designed by a legendary architect from a line of masters in the empire. His building designs were much sought-after, but he only operated within Vermilion Bird Empire, never designing for people from other kingdoms.

Both the Soaring Sky and Ai La Empire had once invited him, but his answer was the same-- No!

This architect sacrificed blood, sweat and tears to build this palace. It was his finest creation, so naturally, it felt very different. It felt truly magical!

It was no wonder every emperor of the Vermilion Bird Empire ruled so well. In this environment, even the most ordinary person would thrive.

Hence, the impact of a person’s living quarters should never be underestimated!

This is related to something the Chinese often emphasized, which is the art of Feng Shui. Ye Lang seemed to know a little about it, and he even dabbled a little with the ancient divination- Qi Men Dun Jia.

“Lady Marge, straight ahead, please. The emperor isn’t ready yet, please wait at the Meng Chang Tower for a moment!” the palace official brought the spirit girl towards the tower, which was where the emperor usually met his guests. Lady Marge was now a very, very important person!

You would know, from how well they treated her!

“Please, help yourself!” at the Meng Chang Tower, many trays of cakes and fruits were placed before her.There was even Xiangming tea served, and it was not something a commoner could enjoy.

“Thank you, I will,” said Lady Marge slowly, although she didn’t touch the food.

How could she eat? She was a reanimated spirit!

After this, the ladies-in-waiting and the palace official noticed Lady Marge didn’t seem to move a muscle. She sat straight as a stick and maintained her impeccable posture.

They thought Lady Marge must have been raised well. Even their own princesses would have to break character, unlike this Lady Marge who could maintain her grace and elegance throughout.

What they didn’t know was that Lady Marge was a spirit. If Ye Lang didn’t let her, she wouldn’t need to move forever. Maintaining this posture was very easy.

Right now, Ye Lang and Coldblood Five were in a heated discussion.

“Little Five, there’s no one here. We should go out for a bit,” Ye Lang pulled himself up with the edge of the bag, his head pushing the bag’s flap up to peep through.
