Chapter 858 - The Ethereal Capital! (1/2)
Chapter 858: The Ethereal Capital!
“Finally!”
Flapping his wings in the sky, Yun Tianhe never felt so happy to return to the imperial city.
It was not that he missed his home, but that he was really exhausted from all the flying. He had estimated it would take half a month to fly back, but unexpectedly, they took less than ten days – because Bai Xiaofei had never once stopped along the way!
What was even scarier was that, when Yun Tianhe was recovering energy, Bai Xiaofei would carry both him and Yun Tianhai!
When Yun Tianhe asked how Bai Xiaofei had so much energy, the latter only replied lightly, “Devouring the Heaven and Earth!”
“Just how rich are you guys?” Overlooking Ethereal’s imperial city from high up in the sky, Bai Xiaofei gulped. Come on! Isn’t this a little too big?!!
The size was not even the most outstanding part, it was the fact that the whole city was visibly crowded. The degree of prosperity was at least ten times that of the Snow Kingdom’s capital!
“Above average, I guess. We can’t compare with Cloudveil, but the other empires should not have as much money as us,” replied Yun Tianhe nonchalantly as he finally found some confidence in front of Bai Xiaofei. He said, “Let’s go down. The sky above the imperial capital is a no-fly area.”
Yun Tianhe slowly descended, followed by Bai Xiaofei. Upon landing, Bai Xiaofei was shocked again. He had not felt it when he was high up above, but now…
I’ll be damned!! Does this city wall want to pierce the sky or what?!!
Even when he strained his neck to the limit, Bai Xiaofei still failed to see what was going on atop the city wall. And the magical rune patterns flashing on the wall were definitely nothing low-grade. Defending the city with this kind of wall, even an idiot would win!
“Brother Bai?” Yun Tianhe waved his hand before the dazed Bai Xiaofei.
Returning to his senses, Bai Xiaofei sighed with emotion, “I’ve suddenly realized that my knowledge of this continent is really too meager.” He was now ready to be shocked continuously.
“It’s okay, you will get used to it. Things like this aren’t worth mentioning for a genius like you. Don’t underestimate your own value,” said Yun Tianhe. He wasn’t trying to be polite, the value of a top-class puppet master was really much more than even ten imperial cities.
“No way. One day, I will get such a big guy for myself.” Bai Xiaofei stared at the wall, his eyes shining with resolution.
Seeing him so serious, Yun Tianhe didn’t say anything. He would have despised anyone else who said so, but when it was Bai Xiaofei, perhaps it was really possible…
“Let’s go, Brother Bai, this is my territory. And I think Grandfather is definitely looking forward to meeting you,” Yun Tianhe announced and started leading the way.
However, upon reaching the city gate, his brows creased.
“Hey, isn’t it the First and Second young master of the Yun clan? I even considered skipping today’s duty, but now it seems I have an unexpected harvest!” an extremely vexing voice rang out.
“Hai Jun, don’t go too far, or I won’t be polite.” The ever nice Yun Tianhe suddenly turned icy. Obviously, he and Hai Jun did not get along one bit.
“Why would you say that, First young master Yun? I always do things impartially. You’ll give this garrison commander face, won’t you?” Hai Jun sneered.
Upon the mention of ‘garrison commander,’ Yun Tianhai’s temper immediately cooled down. Unlike small countries like the Ancient Yue, a garrison commander of Ethereal’s capital was no ordinary character. It was the role that commanded the biggest armed force in the imperial city.
