Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1420: 1379 Royal City

Chapter 1420: Chapter 1379 Royal City

Yun Ji bypassed the Capital View and continued to follow Lu Chuan forward. The once bustling Royal City was now deserted. The buildings had become cracked from weathering, covered in dust and spider webs. However, faint traces of characters on some signs could still be discerned.

They were characters unique to the Demon Tribe, translated as: Huiju Pavilion, Lanyue Pavilion, Chenghuan Courtyard.

Yun Ji naturally had no memory of these buildings. After all, by the time she was born, the Royal City had long been buried underground and unseen. But from the names, it was not difficult to deduce the purposes of these places.

Inn, restaurant, brothel.

It was quite similar to ancient human cities.

As Yun Ji observed, she made notes of the architecture of this place.

If possible, she wanted to rebuild the Demon Tribe’s Royal City. This was not just a symbol of a prosperous era for the demon tribe; if it could be rebuilt, it would mean the Demon Tribe had survived its most difficult phase and was revitalized.

However, this was just Yun Ji’s wishful thinking.

Is recreating such a magnificent Royal City something that can be decided on a whim?

“But this Royal City is really too big. We’ve been walking for so long, and it seems like we haven’t even left this street.”

“The Demon Tribe’s Royal City was modeled after Chang’an City during the Great Tang dynasty, consuming countless resources and manpower, and its area is similar, hence naturally large.”

Yun Yan timely interjected, explaining, “The entrance gate of the city is called Mingde Gate, arranged like Chang’an City’s layout. We are currently in the Anyi District.

This is where the Demon Tribe’s citizens live, with basically no treasures. To find the ultimate treasures, one must pass through the Taiyin Gate to the Imperial Palace.”

“You’re quite particular. Did you also establish a Demon Court, emulating the human dynasties?”

“Why not? At that time, the Demon Tribe’s power was so great that it matched humans, with each holding half the world. Do you think governing billions of demons was easy?”

“That’s not what I meant. I just find it odd. As a royal-like existence among the Demon Tribe, has the nine-tailed fox demon’s position never been shaken?”

“Of course not. The identity of the demon tribe’s common ruler has changed hands several times, but in the end, it returned to the nine-tailed fox clan. Oh, the Lion Clan of the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint also once served as the common ruler of the demon tribe.”

Lu Chuan looked surprised, “Is there really such a thing?”

Yun Yan shrugged and continued, “In any case, don’t waste time. Just head north along this street, pass through nine districts, and you’ll see the Taiyin Gate. Crossing it leads to the Imperial Palace.”

At this point, Lu Chuan stopped hesitating and instead looked towards Miao Conglu, saying solemnly, “Didn’t you say you knew where the Blood Pool is? Lead the way now.”

“No problem, but I have a condition.”

“You should know that you don’t have the right to negotiate any conditions with me now.”

“If you don’t agree, I’ll slash my throat here. Other than me, no one in this world could help you find the Blood Pool!”

Miao Conglu’s attitude was unusually firm, her heterochromatic eyes fixed on Lu Chuan, her silver teeth biting down, and she aimed the Mountain Splitting Saber at her own neck, seeming ready to pierce it if Lu Chuan refused.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan suddenly laughed.

“Do you know, even if you chopped off your entire head, I have ways to resurrect you and make you spill everything I want to know?”

“How… how is that possible!”

“Nothing is impossible. It just means you don’t understand me well enough. But that’s fine. Let’s hear what your condition is. If it’s not too excessive, I can agree.”

“My condition is simple. If the Demon Tribe’s ultimate treasure, the Twin Bracelets, is found, I want you to help completely remove the demon tribe’s bloodline from my body.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan was both surprised and unsurprised.

Surprised that the Twin Bracelets of the Demon Tribe had such effects, but not surprised by Miao Conglu’s motives.

It was due to the bloodline within her that she experienced unimaginable things from a young age. Having this thought was reasonable.

But…

“Why do you want to remove the demon tribe’s bloodline and not the human bloodline?”

“What’s the use of being part of the demon tribe? Aren’t you constantly living in fear and hiding? I’m tired of this life. I just want a quiet place to live undisturbed; that’s enough for me.”

Miao Conglu lowered her eyes, her smile growing more bitter.

You wouldn’t understand. For someone like me, even living under the sunlight is a luxury. If there’s a way to escape my current situation, I’ll try it at any cost!

So Lu Chuan, if you don’t agree, I’ll definitely slash my throat here!

“No problem, I promise you.”

With these words, Miao Conglu was stunned. After a long while, she snapped back to reality and said incredulously, “You, you agreed?”

“Since it won’t harm my interests, there’s no issue. How you want to live your life is your business. It doesn’t concern me. As a return, I will help you.”

“Thank you…”

Miao Conglu lowered the Mountain Splitting Saber in a daze, allowing it to fall to the ground, shattering the long-weathered tiles.

Miao Conglu couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.

When the Twin Bracelets are found, can she finally end this tragic life?

She couldn’t help but look forward to it, as she was long tired of her current life. She especially hated insects, no matter what kind. But ironically, it was her only means of self-preservation, allowing those disgusting creatures to parasitize her body, willingly becoming their bedding.

If she could, she would never want anything to do with bugs again in her life!

…

Meanwhile, in Jiangbei Provincial City.

“What’s going on? Why have so many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators suddenly appeared in the provincial city? Have you found out the reason?”

Han Qingci furrowed her brow, looking grave.

“We haven’t identified them yet, but since these people arrived in the provincial city, they’ve continuously harassed the local citizens, and many women have reported missing. Miss, should we send someone to negotiate?”

“Of course, we need to go! The citizens trust us, which is why they stay in the provincial city. Now that such villains have appeared, if we don’t intervene, wouldn’t that betray others’ trust?”

“But Miss, there are about eight or nine of them, and they’re almost all strong cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm. I’m afraid with just the strength of the Han and Zhong families, it’s difficult to contend with them. Shouldn’t we ask for help from Lu Chuan in Cloud City?”

Upon hearing this, Han Qingci sighed secretly.

Of course, she wanted to ask Lu Chuan for help.

But Lu Chuan was currently not in Cloud City. He had gone to the Southern Border and couldn’t be contacted.

“Do as I say for now, and find someone to negotiate.”
