Chapter 374 (1/2)

The Arrival of the Sacred Lady (1)

What was going on? Why were they waiting?

The answer to that mysterious question was unexpected- remember when Ye Lang said ‘slow down’ to Ye Lanyu?

Ye Lang had given the order to ‘slow down’ and since it wasn’t unreasonable, Sheng City gladly fulfiled his request. This was something Sheng City’s people understood, not outsiders.

Though they had a few opinions of their own...

“Sir, could you kindly eat somewhere else? Heh, are you trying to tempt us?”

One of them decided to speak up. He was going to approach if Ye Lang continued eating. Not for the food, but to remind him not to take up so much space...

And probably take a bite.

Was this the norm of this city? The outsiders wondered. Who was Ye Lang anyway to have such an authority over the whole venue? It was ridiculous.

They were starting to question his position when he accidentally demolished a house time ago but this matter was quickly forgotten because of the battle of the alchemy formations that ensued. No one told them who Ye Lang was, so it was difficult for them to figure out his position in the Sacred Teachings.

The arena slid into confusion as most people watched Ye Lang eat while Zhen Xiaoyan continued to prepare more food for him. Ye Lanyu then decided to join in for a snack.

The seventh princess stood aside, shaking her head. She wanted to remind Ye Lang about manners but couldn’t bear to do it. The boy looked so happy with his cheeks full of food. Conflicted, she let him continue.

As seconds went by, the whole situation became painfully awkward. As someone decided to put this to an end, something shocking happened, making everyone forget about the eating...

“Eh?”

Ye Lang glanced up from his food to the sky.

“What’s wrong?” asked the three girls in unison, wondering what he saw.

The blue skies were pretty but other than that, the girls didn’t see anything else.

Upon noticing that, everyone else soon glanced up in the same direction, but there was nothing!

“Someone’s coming!” exclaimed Ye Lang before taking another bite off his food, eyes still glued to the sky.

“Someone’s coming?” Ye Lanyu was puzzled, quickly looking towards the other two girls for affirmation. They were equally confused too.

Coming in from the skies was not the best option.

No one in Sheng City dared to use magic to levitate into the skies. Every corner of the city was well protected by defence formations, which included the arena they were in now. The only way to enter the building was through the entrance- unless you were planning for a raid.

Fortunately, the chances of a successful raid were low. Identifications were required to enter Sheng City though people were free to roam within its territory.

Under normal circumstances, no one would want such an inconvenient entry!
