Chapter 443 (2/2)

“I don’t even know why she’s doing this. Now the Ye family is forced into two sides, and most importantly the thirteenth prince has left our empire…” the first soldier was still rambling on idiotically.

“Well, the former emperor and Ye Chengtian were very close and the thirteenth prince was going to marry the seventh princess. If she wanted to take the throne, she had to wipe them out! I think it isn’t too bad she only chased them out of the empire!”

What the people of the empire knew seemed to differ from the truth. Although they knew the empress had murdered the emperor and his other children, as for the Ye family, they thought the empress only chased them out instead of chasing them with the intention to kill.

Well, no one would admit that they had sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers on a mission only to come back empty-handed!

“Sigh, I miss the thirteenth prince. Unfortunately, he’s now the enemy of the empire. As long as Her Majesty’s here, we’ll have to catch him if we see him.

“Shut up, any more talking and we’ll get into trouble!” reminded another soldier.

“...” the first soldier fell silent.

Athena was surprised. She didn’t expect Ye Lang to have such a good reputation here. He’d been gone for years and yet people still missed him.

Ye Lang, on the other hand, found it very odd someone would mention his name out of the blue. Without warning too!

Once they entered the district, the soldiers left- not before staring at the buildings in fascination for a few moments.

“Hey, this place looks like the tribal lands…” gasped Athena, full of emotion because she realised all its buildings mimicked the architectural style of her home.

Not just the architecture, its interior designs were all similar to their tribal lands!

Athena now understood why the fox tribe wanted to stay here. It felt like coming home, she felt very happy inside.

“Guests, your quarters have been prepared. Come with me!” a very similar sentence was spoken once again. This time, it was a fox tribe member speaking, here to receive the guests.

“The same place?” asked one of them, it was obvious it was not their first time here.

“Yep!” the fox nodded.

“Uh… How did you all think of building a place like this?” Athena was curious, for a district of this scale should not appear in a human city.

Perhaps it wouldn’t have been so peculiar if it was just a small neighbourhood but this Hundred Beast District covered a huge area.

If they did not benefit the humans, a district of this scale should not appear within a human territory, especially not Soaring Sky.

“We didn’t think of it either but we had some help from someone. It was because of him that we have a district like this!” answered the fox, his eyes full of respect.

“Who?” asked Athena.

The fox fell silent, then said mysteriously, “The people of this empire aren’t allowed to speak of him, but I guess it’s not a problem to us. He’s the thirteenth prince of the Ye family--- Ye Lang!”
