Chapter 320 (1/2)
Chapter 320
Blue Moon City was flouris.h.i.+ng without doubt, although it was somewhat lacking compared to Soaring Dragon City and also didn’t have such grand atmosphere like Soaring Dragon City, but this city also had a busy flow of people. Caravan and mercenaries could be seen everywhere. And with the streets paved using light blue sandstone, this city gave a rich marine atmosphere.
Roughly after half an hour, the carriage switched to a heavily guarded small path with tree shades. And immediately after that, the surrounding became very quiet, and the sounds of roaring sea waves became clearer, presumably, they were not far from the coastline.
Feeling the carriage seemed to be moving upward slowly, Long Yi lifted the window curtain under curiosity. Then, looking outside, he couldn’t help but be surprised. As it turned out, the imperial palace of Nalan Empire was built on the hilltop, and the path was sloping upward, no wonder he felt the carriage was slowly moving upward.
“Wow, it’s the castle, it looks pretty good.” Long Yi praised. Outside his expectation, this imperial palace was unexpectedly same as the castle of his previous world, but compared to any castle he had seen in his previous world, this was undoubtedly much larger.
“Of course, although our Nalan Empire’s imperial palace isn’t most luxurious and most imposing, but it is the most beautiful and most distinctive in the entire Blue Waves Continent.” Nalan Ruyue rather proudly said.
“It’s good, I wonder how is Ruyue’s lady’s bedchamber? Tonight, I want to take a good look.” Long Yi smirked and said. Before he had finished speaking three sentences, he was already using his glib-tongue.
The beautiful face of Nalan Ruyue turned red and she ferociously glared at Long Yi, but in exchange, Long Yi unscrupulously laughed.
After arriving, Nalan Wuji and Long Yi made few polite remarks, then Nalan Wuji summoned a palace maid to lead Long Yi as well as Nalan Ruyue to rest for the day. And at night, a grand ceremony would be held in the palace.
Long Yi as the husband of Nalan Ruyue naturally should live in the lady’s chamber where Nalan Ruyue used to stay.
Nalan Ruyue alone stayed in a small building of the imperial palace. This small building had dozens of various style functional rooms, and the lady’s chamber where Nalan Ruyue live in was the centermost room. Outside the lady’s chamber, there was a very big semi-circular balcony. On the balcony, there were wooden table and chairs as well as flowers. But what caught the eyes of Long Yi the most was the sea that could be seen just outside the balcony.
As it turned out, the imperial palace of Nalan Empire was built on the cliff. Behind the imperial palace, there was a deep and unfathomable sea. The sea waves were repet.i.tively slamming again the cliff, and that scene of splas.h.i.+ng water bloom truly was very spectacular.
“Amazing, Ruyue, your imperial palace is truly amazing.” Long Yi stood in the suns.h.i.+ne and looking at that vast sea, he repeatedly praised. Every day, listening to the sounds of the sea waves to sleep, truly was very beautiful.
“That’s natural. In this world, only us Nalan Empire has such scenery.” Nalan Ruyue said with a smile.
“Hehe, it seems I have to stay here for a period of time. I wonder if I can meet the legendary Mermaid Princess.” Long Yi smiled and said.
“Mermaid Princess? What’s that?” Nalan Ruyue asked curiously.
“Mermaid Princess of course is……eh……” When Long Yi had spoken only half in all smiles, he suddenly paused, then was in a daze looking at those exquisite carvings on the balcony.
“Hey, Ximen Yu, what happened?” Nalan Ruyue waved her snow-white jade hand in front of Long
Yi’s face. She was discontented with him for suddenly becoming absentminded.
Long Yi came back to his senses, then pointing at those carvings, he said: “Aren’t you saying you don’t know Mermaid Princess? Then what are those carvings?”
Nalan Ruyue followed the gaze of Long Yi and then said with a smile: “That is the legendary Siren. Legend says that they are the monsters that look like women with a long fishtail as their lower body. Are they the Mermaid Princess you were speaking?”
Long Yi was startled, he had never expected that this would also have mermaid’s legend. But, in his previous world, someone had seen a monster that resembles a human being with fishtail in the deep sea, moreover, also had found a corpse specimen, but after the research, that however was only a variant of fish, nothing more. It was really not the legendary fairy-like mermaid. Perhaps, the people of this world had also seen only such fishes, merely after spreading from one mouth to another, it became incredible. Long Yi thought like this in his heart.
At this time, Xiao Cui suddenly ran over and shouted loudly: “Princess, little princess has returned.”
“Rumeng? Where is she now?” Nalan Ruyue urgently asked. She truly needed to teach a lesson to that d.a.m.ned girl, seeing the circ.u.mstance was wrong, she sneaked off, leaving all the mess to her.
“Big sister, I am here.” A timid voice came from behind, and turning around, they saw a small head sticking out from behind the curtain of the balcony. Her hair was disheveled resembling a bird’s nest and her face was also very dirty, merely her millet colored two big eyes were looking all around nonstop. In a single glance, one would know that she was a restless girl.
“Rumeng, you……how did you become like this, still not coming out quickly.” Nalan Ruyue was surprised in her heart and shouted loudly.
Nalan Rumeng stepped out from behind the curtain, and they could see that her clothes were also very dirty. Now, looking at her from any angle, she simply appeared just like a little beggar. Whoever sees her current appearance, no one would believe that she was the princess of Nalan Empire.
“What happened? Hurry up and say, who bullied you?” Nalan Ruyue angrily said. Nalan Rumeng was her biological younger sister born from the same mother and father. Nalan Ruyue had doted her from her childhood, and now seeing her current appearance, she naturally was endlessly distressed.
