Chapter 483: Chapter 483 Nighttime in Great Li_1

"Having a little brother is really nice."

Lying on Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan enviously watched the busy Karnases on the hillside. He had specifically instructed that since this area belonged to Lorraine Tower, concerns about hiding were unnecessary. One could focus on aesthetics, comfort, or durability at will; thus, the Karnases were using their Earth System abilities to construct walls on the hillside as they seemingly planned to build some grand structure.

Lying on the ground, Xiao Ji looked around in boredom. It couldn’t understand what the Karnases were doing, thus, it had no interest. Sliding off Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan patted its body and said,

"If you’re bored, you can take a walk around. Mist Island of Lorraine Tower has collected quite a few interesting things, you know~"

Xiao Ji gave a weak call and didn’t move, while Little Green Snake eyed the busy Karnases intently, wondering about something.

Seeing Carnas still busily directing the construction of a home, Feng Yuan touched his stomach and said,

"I’m a bit hungry. I’m going to ask Lorraine Tower for some snacks."

"You... I won’t go anywhere..."

Glancing at Xiao Ji, who was squeezing through the Gate of Light, Feng Yuan said helplessly, Xiao Ji protested dissatisfactorily, and the ghostly silhouette of Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"It’s because you leave it behind from time to time."

"What do you want now?"

Lying on a crystal platform and taking a rest, Lorraine Tower opened his eyes with some confusion and looked at Feng Yuan. After considering the soft red cushion under Lorraine Tower, Feng Yuan thought about it but gave up the idea of borrowing the cushion and said to Lorraine Tower,

"Do you have any snacks here?"

"None."

It seemed he was disturbed during his rest, and Lorraine Tower did not seem too eager to engage with Feng Yuan. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan smiled brightly and said,

"I was thinking about getting some snacks, you see..."

"Great Li City has them."

Lorraine Tower, having said that, closed his eyes and lay down on the cushion. Seeing that Lorraine Tower appeared very tired, Feng Yuan looked apologetic as he opened the Gate of Light and left the room.

Noticing that Feng Yuan had left, Lorraine Tower muttered softly,

"I wonder if I can protect it until the future..."

"It’s really lively here~"

Surveying the bustling Great Li City, Feng Yuan exclaimed. He had never experienced the night scene in Great Li City before; he hadn’t expected that even though it was only the early Dynasty Era, the streets in the city were lively after nightfall not deserted as he had thought.

Looking at the brightly lit streets and the passersby coming and going, Feng Yuan felt like he was back in the modern world. Disguised as a fluffy ball of snow, Xiao Ji looked around in astonishment at the vendors calling out incessantly.

Passersby, upon seeing Feng Yuan in a white Ritual Robe, avoided him, and some young ladies who seemed to belong to wealthy families used their fans to cover their faces while stealthily peeking at Feng Yuan. Ordinary commoner girls hid in corners and talked in secret, but it was obvious from their occasional furtive glances at Feng Yuan that their discussion must have been about him.

"It seems that going out with the identity of Divine Envoy of Wolf Mountain Hall is a little too conspicuous..."

Holding a wrapped portion of sugar-roasted chestnuts, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly. Just now, when he had approached a vendor selling these treats, the vendor reacted as if a terrifying entity had set its sights on him, hastily packed a large bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts into Feng Yuan’s hands without even asking for payment.

After several unsuccessful attempts to pay the vendor, Feng Yuan could only turn away reluctantly. However, before leaving, Feng Yuan discreetly cast a blessing spell on the vendor.

"I didn’t expect our Divine Envoy to be in such high spirits, strolling around late at night," said the Third Prince dressed like a scholar as he calmly looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Waving a fan in the cold weather? Aren’t you cold?"

The Third Prince’s expression remained unchanged as he waved his fan and said,

"I wonder if the wind in Great Li City is colder, or if it’s colder in the Chiyun Mountain Range?"

"If you have something to say, just say it directly. I’m not in the mood to beat around the bush with you," Feng Yuan glanced at the Third Prince and said impatiently. Sensing that Feng Yuan didn’t have a favorable opinion of him, the Third Prince closed his fan, tapped it against his palm, and stared at Feng Yuan as he said,

"Why did Feng Yuan go to the Chiyun Mountain Range?"

"How would I know? Is he supposed to report his itinerary to me? We are enemies. And you, would you inform Mo Li about your plans?"

The Third Prince snapped open his folding fan with a swift motion and laughed heartily as he said,

"I think you might have misunderstood Xiao Qi and me. Although I don’t tell him everything, he is my brother after all. Isn’t it normal to inform him about matters that concern him?"

As he spoke, the Third Prince stared at Feng Yuan with a serious tone,

"Furthermore, Xiao Qi’s name is Li Shiqing, you’d best not mention the name ’Mo Li’ again!"

Feng Yuan glanced at the Third Prince with scorn and said,

"You think I’m not aware of the reasons?"

"You’d do well not to delude yourselves into thinking you can meddle in royal affairs! We are not so easily provoked!"

Despite his insouciant expression, the Third Prince spoke slowly, but Feng Yuan could sense the hidden anger in his eyes. With a dismissive wave of his hand, Feng Yuan calmly said,

"Don’t assume everyone else is a fool. I remember Mo Li once sent someone over, his name was rather meaningful."

"What are you trying to say?"

The Third Prince enunciated each word deliberately, ignoring his fierce gaze. Feng Yuan’s eyes swept the surroundings and he spoke distractedly,

"Great wisdom can appear as foolishness, don’t you think?"

Feng Yuan, as if seeing something entertaining, completely ignored the Third Prince and walked past him towards the distance. The Third Prince said in a dark and low voice,

"Great wisdom can appear as foolishness? Just what are you implying?"

"Or perhaps... which side are you really on..."

With a feigned smile, the Third Prince looked up at the sky, and perhaps due to the brightness within Great Li City, he found the night sky to be profoundly dark, adorned only by a few exceptionally bright stars scattered across the pitch-black expanse.

"So much delicious food～"

Carrying a large bag of food, Feng Yuan walked contently toward the city gate. Although the gates had already been closed, upon seeing Feng Yuan’s Ritual Robe, the soldiers escorted him to the city wall and watched him drift down from the wall and leave.

The soldiers harbored some discontent towards the Divine Envoys, as the gates were not allowed to be opened or closed for anyone without special permission after they closed, until Divine Envoys, dissatisfied, began to forcibly enter, and although the King of Great Li slew several of them, this antagonized several Temples. As a result, the King of Great Li had no choice but to relent, allowing the Divine Envoys, led by soldiers, to enter or leave over the city wall after the gates were closed.

As for not being able to get over the wall? If they couldn’t scale the wall, would they dare call themselves Divine Envoys? Of course, correspondingly, should anything occur that required the whole city to go into lockdown, those Divine Envoys would just have to wait for the gates to open.

"Don’t be so resentful, they have the strength after all,"

one of the veteran soldiers noticed the young soldier who had led Feng Yuan was somewhat angry and spoke up. The younger soldier didn’t respond but just stared in the direction where Feng Yuan had departed. The older soldier continued speaking to himself,

"Speaking of which, the Divine Envoy from Wolf Mountain Hall has been quite polite; at least he bothered to follow the proper path to leave, not like the one from Hundred Eyes Hall..."

The veteran soldier sighed helplessly and said,

"There are more and more Divine Envoys, and His Majesty can only be more tolerant of them. As long as they don’t push too far, there’s not much to do but let them be..."

"One day they will pay the price!"

The young soldier spoke fiercely. After looking at him, the older soldier shook his head and walked away.

"Aren’t you busy yet?"

Feng Yuan nibbled on a roast chicken leg, curiously asking Karnas who was busy all night. Whether it was Carnas or Karnas, they were not nocturnal creatures, so several huge stone columns had been erected around them, emitting a gentle glow to provide illumination.

The light from the stone columns illuminated the surroundings, and Feng Yuan, astonished, said,

"This thing works quite well, the brightness is much better than the lanterns in Great Li City, and it’s not glaring either."

"I’ll have to get some for Yongning～"

The silent shadow of Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Aren’t you afraid of causing changes in the future?"

"Hmm... then forget about it, I’ll sort it out later."
