Three days before the festival starts. Today is exactly when the sun is at its peak. Scorching light radiates but does not feel too stinging the skin over the heat. It makes everyone grateful for being comfortable with the state of nature this time.
A few days ago after they arrived at the Capital of Lan-gang, one by one high-ranking people came there to attend the invitation of the Great Emperor of the Southeast Empire as well as the Emperor of the Sky Kingdom.
I don't know how many magnificent horse carriages of various shapes and forms came and went to enter the Capital of Lan-gang in the next few days at that time. Neither Rayan nor Reychu had any intention of counting it. It's just that, at first they were stunned and fascinated by the atmosphere that they had only seen before in colossal drama series or only during the history festival was live.
But, now...
Not just drama, but real plastered in front of the eyes of both of them.
Currently Rayan, Reychu, and others have finished taking care of what needs to be taken care of. As well, Duan Xi who completed the registration and all sorts of necessities for Ryura later competed in the competition. Ever since he started to strengthen his heart to trust Ryura, Duan Xi had become calmer and more relaxed in taking care of things.
While Reychu, no one expected that secretly the crazy girl was interested in enlivening the event by participating in the same competition that followed by Ryura.
He even grinned like a psychopath and muttered to Ryura. "My dear friend, I look forward to our fight in the arena. I haven't played together in a long time. Does it still feel the same as it did in a past life. Hehe..."
The rabbit demon that followed him to the point of not knowing what to say when he saw Reychu register and prepare what he needed to prepare. To wonder, what exactly was Reychu thinking? Didn't he know that if he entered the competition then there would be a chance to fight with his own best friend?
But, in the end Chi-chi can only shake his head inexplicably.
Meanwhile, Ruobin was overwhelmed with Rayan who moved cheerfully to and fro every different accessories, shoes, and clothing store in the Capital. He eagerly bought everything he wanted. Maybe that one was not something astonishing anymore for Ruobin considering that she spent more time with Rayan until it could be counted on the fingers how many they were apart for a long time.
But, what Ruobin does not know is Rayan's ability to be sweet every time she meets handsome men ranging from children to the elderly. Ruobin was made to wonder, could there be any abnormality in her human friend to the point that she behaved so flirtatious and childishly in every handsome man regardless of age.
It is not enough to only tease the young. It managed to carve a deep frown between his two eyebrows.
Not to mention when he heard Rayan directly say cheerfully and a slight sense of scuffling in her tone while shaking her own shoulders spoiledly.
"Yes God. I didn't expect that there would be many handsome men here. Everyone washes my eyes! I'm really happy!"
When others are in a good mood. Not with Furby. The Moon Horse had instead been waiting faithfully at the gate of the Capital of Lan-gang since a few days ago, just to make sure that he will not miss the opportunity to see the appearance of Ryura that he himself is not sure can see or not remember Ryura who does not have an aura clearly makes it difficult for anyone to detect his presence.
Furby could only sigh heavily, her heart lethargic and sad. He clearly did not want this problem to drag on. But, what would it say if it all started from his stupidity that boldly doubted Ryura and corrupted his trust.
He lethargicly muttered in his heart. "Rilisa... Come back and let me meet you. I'm really sorry. I want to apologize to you. Ryura..!"'s search...!"
From a distance the gates of the Capital of Lan-gang, the rows of majestic horse carriages even more magnificent than the horse carriages that had come in the previous day seemed to be approaching. Not only magnificent, the size is also very large to be pulled with more than 5 gallant horses. It can be estimated that the space in the train car is likely to be filled by more than 5 and less than 10 people. Not to mention the tables available for brewing tea and laying snacks.
In front of him were a few horsemen who seemed to be on the escorting soldiers. Behind the big and magnificent train there are 3 more train cars that are smaller than the main car. It can fit 5 people in it and no more.
Of the last three train cars, one of them was used to accommodate supplies considering they came from far away.
"See we're here." exclaimed a boy with a 10-year-old range.
He was dressed charming just like some of the other youths inside the carriage. However, he was wrapped in light blue.
Even though the train was carrying quite a lot of people. It turned out to only be filled by 5 young people with different ages. In fact, they were brothers even from different mothers.
The one who had just exclaimed was the youngest or the fifth brother. Next to him in the middle is a 14-year-old fourth brother and next to him is a 17-year-old third brother. In front of them were two more young men, one of whom was wearing more magnificent clothes with his black color, clearly different from his other brother where they were wearing more vivid colors.
Then, the one who was dressed magnificently was the oldest, he had reached 25 years old and next to him was a second brother with 20 years old.
Inside the train there was a warm conversation between brothers. Without being limited to formatting.
"This is the second time I've come to see this celebration. But, why in the place where we don't celebrate?" ask the boy innocently.
"That's because we're basically the ones winning the war. Merely, Ayahanda was still generous to offer peace to the Southeast Empire before completely annihilating the forces of the Southeast Empire." raise the voice of the third young man casually.
"Fortunately, this Great Emperor of the Southeast Empire was not stupid to miss an opportunity. They at least know the benefits of this peace proposal." continued the second young man after sipping his tea.
"Oohhh. I see.." he cried out like a child. He even took the time to peek through the window of the carriage while kneeling on his chair.
The atmosphere in the carriage was neither stiff nor awkward at all, the five of them did not use formal Kramas for each other. They were a group of nobles from the Northern Empire.
Most likely, even they were members of the Royal Family.
In the middle of the journey, the little one unexpectedly saw a plain white-clothed girl with unbound or ornamental hair who walked alone with her leisure while carrying a long object in her right hand.
The little one was both fascinated and shuddered in horror as the carriage walked past the girl, it allowed him to clearly see his unperturbed flat face in the slightest with the rumbling of horse footsteps that were speeding 4 meters away beside the girl.
More stunned the little guy when he clearly saw that the girl was not interested in seeing his entourage come.
"Waaah. She's so cold. It looked like a ghost." he chirped involuntarily which could be heard by the other four brothers.
"Who do you mean?" asked the fourth young man who was right next to him while looking at the little guy.
Out of curiosity the fourth young man took a peek and it turned out to be true, but something surprised him. He soon returned to his seat.
"What's wrong with your face?" ask the second man sitting in front of him.
The fourth young man's expression seemed to be thinking. "No... It's weird.." hesitated to say.
"What's so weird?" this time the first young man spoke up after a long silence because of boredom.
His voice attracted the other to look towards the fourth young man.
"He doesn't seem alive" his words instead make a question mark on the other's head, except for the little one.
"Really! He's not like a human being! How could a human not have such an aura of life?! His face was also flat!" timpal the boy enthusiastically. As a cultivator, of course he was able to see such things.
A sharp creak formed on the forehead of the first youth. "He's not the enemy?" after hearing the explanation, he immediately used his power to comb through the entire place to look for the existence of strangers who might be targeting them. But, unfortunately he could not feel anything other than his entourage.
Obviously, the words of his brother arouse his sense of caution even though the vigilance actually never wears off. Who knows if there are people whose ability level is higher so that they can hide their aura until they can trick others.
"Ep... I guess not. He walked ahead of us. Now we haven't been through it long. That person also doesn't seem interested in our entourage. Though our carriage is already very conspicuous." explained the little one.
"Interesting! I wonder who that guy is? A boy or a girl?" ask the third man.
"She's a girl." replied the little one and the fourth young man together.
"Gee. It's getting interesting. Never seen a woman walk alone unaccompanied even less has no aura in her." exclaimed the third young man spirit.
The second and first youth just shook his head lazily. For both, as long as it is not a person to suspect they do not care.
"Well, let's forget for a moment about the girl. Now we replace it with another topic." exclaimed the fourth young man who suddenly had an idea that he thought was brilliant.
"What's that?" ask your child first enthusiastically.
Seeing his four brothers alternating with a mysterious smile on his face. But, who would have thought that moment was destroyed by his second brother.
"Keep that expression of yours. Just go straight to his core."
"Sad. You ruined everything." Even so he did not argue to directly express his idea. "So, I proposed to make a bet!"
"Betc?!" surprised the other three except their first brother who instead chose to sleep. Very uninterested in his sister's game. Childishly according.
"Yes." glanced at the first brother, then continued. "We're betting on our beloved brother's soul mate."
Hearing it spontaneously the others turned towards the first young man who was not disturbed even though his brother's discussion this time about his soul mate who did not get when he was 25 years old.
Without anyone knowing, behind her indifference she just cried bitterly without tears while continuing to wait for the emergence of her heart. He's not the cold kind of guy that doesn't want to get married. It's just that he hasn't found the one that's in his heart. Even if he wants to, the woman who wants to marry him can be stacked in his Harem.
Unfortunately, he only wanted one woman in his life. It doesn't matter if she can give him offspring or not. Because, what he needs is a life companion not a child-bearing machine.
He was also different from the father who had a concubine. He was determined to have only one life partner. His father's experience that he had seen so far made him feel that having more than one partner was troublesome, especially when being a husband could not be fair.
The harem could be the most terrifying place ever.
He sighed inwardly while batting in lethargy. "Darling... Where are...? I've been waiting for you this old, but I didn't meet you. Do you know how much I want to take you with me as my life partner."
Go to his sisters.
"What's the bet?" asked the second young man who seemed to find it interesting to play.
"We bet on whether our brother can find his Empress here or not" the fourth young man explained in full his idea.
Without anyone knowing that at the same time the flat girl who walked alone set her eyes on the front big luxury car that is now getting smaller eroded distance.
From the look of his empty eyes, no one knew what he was thinking when he saw the carriage.
sorry long.
how... Can anyone guess who they are?
Thor will come out his name in the next eps.
happy reading....
