Beiyang, Tianjian City.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
The city was divided into two parts: the Earth City and the Sky City. The vast plains were home to the Earth City, which sprawled like a majestic beast, with a population in the tens of billions!
At the core of the Earth City stood countless towering swords, each connected by iron chains. These swords served as the pillars. Above these pillars, amidst the cloud-covered mountains, lay the Sky City.
This architectural marvel was a testament to the Sword Emperor’s taste, creating a city in the sky that became a legendary tale!
At this moment, in the training grounds outside the heavenly palace, the Sword Emperor was personally instructing his fourteen-year-old daughter, Lin Hongyu. His wife and several noblewomen watched from the side, chatting casually.
“I heard that a few days ago, the Crown Prince got into some trouble outside?”
“Yes, I heard the same. It seems he took a woman that the Imperial Prince fancied and heavily injured the Shenlong Army.”
“The Imperial Prince in Taian City was furious and threatened to settle accounts with the Crown Prince...”
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingzhu smiled gracefully. “He just took an Imperial Prince’s woman. Does the Taian Imperial Family dare to come to our Tianjian City to demand justice?”
Our family has taken a lot of things; this is just a small matter.
“I’m more interested in how Qi’an took her. Did he do it with the same flair as his father?”
The noblewomen were all shocked. Provoking the Taian Imperial Family, Mu Qingzhu showed no concern and instead cared about her son’s style!
Her casual words revealed a domineering attitude. The Lin family was indeed formidable...
“Father, I don’t want to train anymore. I miss Brother!” The fourteen-year-old Lin Hongyu, already a delicate beauty, was pouting in her fiery red dress.
The Sword Emperor, Lin Weixuan, laughed heartily. “Your brother is out there stealing women, and not just any woman, but one fancied by the Imperial Prince. Isn’t that impressive? When he returns, you might have a new sister-in-law.”
“A month ago, he had just broken through to the third level, and now he’s at the fourth?”
Recalling his younger years, even as a prodigy, it had taken him a year. Was his son surpassing him?
“Indeed... We were all stunned.”
Mu Qingzhu smiled, ruffling her daughter’s hair. “Now, your brother is even further ahead of you. Better work harder!”
“Wuwuwu...”
“You’ve reported well. Go and claim your reward.”
“Thank you, Sword Emperor!” The Sword Guard was overjoyed. Following the Crown Prince was rewarding; even reporting good news earned a reward.
“Spread the word: to celebrate my son’s breakthrough, there will be a three-day feast at Tianjian Palace. All are welcome to enjoy fine wine and meat!”
The Sword Emperor’s voice resonated like heavenly music across Tianjian City. All the cultivators in the city heard the news.
“Wow... The Crown Prince has broken through again!”
“Son, am I going senile? Didn’t we just attend a feast last month?”
“Dad, you’re not senile... The Crown Prince broke through again after just a month.”
“Ha ha ha, as expected of our Beiyang Crown Prince. We’ll drink until we drop tonight!”
“Wife, let’s make a son tonight to celebrate!”
“If you were half as handsome as the Crown Prince, our son could have been making soy sauce by now...”
(TL: making soy sauce idiom... Uhh it’s kinda hard to explain how it’s use here I’ll just explain the idiom. making soy sauce is a chinese internet slang that means having children or, more broadly, implies that a child is old enough to run errands or take care of simple tasks. It originates from the idea that even a child can be sent to buy soy sauce from the store. In short means that if he were as handsome as the Crown Prince, they would have already had a child old enough to run simple errands.)
