Chapter 438: Banquet

Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations

The carriage, being pulled by multiple beasts, traveled very fast towards its destination..

Xue Ying and Jing Qiu were surveying the passing scenery from their seats inside the carriage. As a whole, the Calm Sea Prefecture Capital reached enormous proportions, making sights such as vast and grand structures, as well as undulating mountains, common.

“I didn’t even get the chance to properly see the Calm Sea Prefecture Capital in its entirety. At most, we got a glance from the distance because of that huge wall blocking off the path.” Jing Qiu sighed in praise.

“Indeed.” Xue Ying turned his sight towards the enormous wall shrouded by clouds blocking off the end of the road. “The Calm Sea Prefecture Capital is an extraordinary place. It’s only normal, seeing how it’s been crafted by the first Prefecture Master, and then fortified by the many subsequent generations. The arrays on the wall are truly deep, nothing someone like us could hope to understand.”

Together with his amazement, a feeling of pride surged up in Xue Ying’s heart.

As long as he did not slack off, he was predestined to become a stage four World Deity in the future, and he even had hope to join the ranks of powerful existences!

“We’ll arrive soon,” the green-robed carriage driver interjected.

The nine beasts were now descending towards the clump of towering palaces. One of them belonged to none other than the Calm Sea Prefecture Master himself, and the territory of the Long Shi Clan was in that area also.

As it rapidly descended, the carriage soon arrived in front of the door leading to a side palace chamber.

“Sir Dong Bo.” A female attendant dressed in violet robes was waiting by the entrance; she was the one responsible for receiving guests.

Xue Ying and Jing Qiu came down from the carriage.

Heavens! Xue Ying swept his vision across his surroundings. Standing right outside the entrance to the palace was a row of legion soldiers wearing golden armor, all of them emitting auras at the level of World Deities!

There are ten World Deities standing outside the palace as mere guards? Xue Ying inwardly sighed at the thought of how deep the foundation of the top clan in the Calm Sea Prefecture was. Accompanied by his wife, he finally entered the towering palace, as led by the attendant.

A number of guests had already arrived at the palace hall, a group which also included the handsome teenager dressed in white robes, Seventh Mei Yu. He was sitting cross-legged by the side of a long table, with two beautiful women at his back.

“Sir Dong Bo, this way, if you please.” The violet-robed attendant brought Xue Ying to his seat which was located right next to Seventh Mei Yu’s.

There, he also entered a cross-legged posture, with his wife at his side.

“Brother Dong Bo, is your wife the only one accompanying you?” Seventh Mei Yu turned over.

“We’ve come here merely to broaden our horizons. Is Madam Sang not here also?” Xue Ying asked, a hit of surprise in his tone. Madam Sang was the stage two World Deity charged with protecting Seventh Mei Yu, yet she was not present?

“There is no need in her attending such a banquet,” Seventh Mei Yu said frankly. What a joke. Monarch Mo Xue was currently there, at the Long Shi Clan, accompanied by the Prefecture Master himself! As long as she remained in the Calm Sea Prefecture Capital… it would be impossible for her to face danger. With how powerful her father was, he could easily suppress the entire region of the Calm Sea Prefecture Capital with but a thought. There was simply no need for Madam Sang to guard her closely under such circumstances.

As they chatted, attendants stepped up again and again, respectfully kneeling down before bringing more delicious food and wine to Xue Ying’s table. “This is a token of appreciation from the second prince. Sir Dong Bo, please enjoy,” an attendant said as he left.

“A token of appreciation from the second prince?” Xue Ying saw a stony food tray holding a flask of wine, as well as six separate plates, atop of which spirit fruits and various other types of food were placed.

Xue Ying removed the stopper from the flask, lightly sniffing its contents before turning to his wife with a laugh. “Jing Qiu, it would seem this second prince has spent quite a lot. Altogether, the flask of wine and the spirit fruits should cost around 1,000 Deity crystals.”

“Xue Ying, take a better look at the tray,” Jing Qiu replied.

Giving the stone tray a more thorough investigation, Xue Ying was stunned to find that, despite seeming like a commonplace item at first, an incomparably pure energy was emitting from it.

“Faith Stone?” Xue Ying was startled.
