Kapitel 53: Chapter 53: Tian Dou Imperial City

"Xiao Lan, you can't play hide and seek suddenly in crowded places! Otherwise, I won't let you out in the future!"

"I know, Brother! Xiao Lan will behave!"

Tian Dou Imperial City, at the city gate.

A young man in blue armor, accompanied by a little girl, arrived here.

The young man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His deep blue eyes revealed a touch of nobility. The girl was obedient and gentle, wearing a blue dress with golden threads, matching her deep blue eyes. She looked around, seemingly curious about everything.

"Why is your face so red, brother? Are you uncomfortable?"

"It's nothing!" Ye Qiu avoided the charming gaze thrown at him again. The effect of the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline was indeed terrifying, surpassing even cosmetic surgery.

Ye Qiu felt like he had turned into a humanoid charm weapon.

Thinking about the lecherous look the middle-aged woman gave him when he left the store after buying clothes, Ye Qiu shuddered. In some crowded places, he might even be harassed by bold girls.

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first." Holding her small hand, Ye Qiu lowered his head slightly and walked towards the city.

It took Ye Qiu and Xiao Lan quite some time to reach here after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.

During this time, his spiritual power broke through to level 22.

Since Xiao Lan condensed her first soul ring, she could stay outside for a long time. Strangely, Ye Qiu's spiritual power didn't seem to be consumed. He attributed this to her own photosynthesis and her habit of eating hearty meals every time.

Ye Qiu planned to rest here for a while, show Xiao Lan around the human world, and then head to the Sunset Forest to find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.

"Wow, such a beautiful house, and it's so tall!"

"So many people!" Led by Ye Qiu, Xiao Lan looked around the bustling city, her eyes full of admiration.

"Brother, Xiao Lan wants to eat that!"

Looking in the direction she pointed, there was a small shop selling candied hawthorns. The brown sugar wrapped around the hawthorn made the red color look very eye-catching, especially enticing to Xiao Lan.

"You really are a little glutton!" Tapping her head, Ye Qiu took her there.

"Boss! Two please!"

...

"Can I not have it?"

"No way. Already licked."

"Alright!"

"Alright, take your change, and have a good day!"

Watching Xiao Lan holding two strands and stuffing them into her mouth, Ye Qiu regretted a bit.

On the first day in the city, he encountered an assassin! One gold coin could sustain a family of three for a couple of months, and these things cost one silver coin each!

The prices in big cities were really high, and he didn't have much money on him.

It might be a problem to stay at an inn later.

Noticing Ye Qiu staring at her eagerly, Xiao Lan stopped her chewing, thinking that Ye Qiu was also craving, and handed one to him. "Humph! Brother is a big glutton! Hehe."

Ye Qiu didn't hesitate and accepted it. Looking at the saliva on it, he picked off that part and put it back into her mouth.

"Um, Brother, are you disgusted?"

"How could it be? Brother is letting you eat more." Taking a bite of his candied hawthorn, he was about to lead her towards the direction of the inn.

First, he needed to check if he had enough money.

"I want to walk by myself."

"Then be careful on your own!" Ye Qiu swallowed the candied hawthorn in his mouth.

Following behind Xiao Lan's backside, Ye Qiu also looked around. He also wanted to see one of the most prosperous places in this world.

Passing by an alley, there were a group of people inside, lying in disorder, looking like beggars.

Ye Qiu's steps paused slightly, 'It seems that there are many slums in the capital!'

This was the so-called prosperity of the wealthy, contrasting with the extreme poverty.

"Ah~" While Ye Qiu stopped to watch, a painful cry came from ahead.

At the same time, there was an arrogant voice.

"Insolent! Where did this wild girl come from? This young master will drive you peasants out of the imperial city sooner or later!"

"Oh! Unexpectedly, even beggars dress like people!" Saying this, he reached out towards Xiao Lan's face. "Since you've dirtied my clothes, compensate me with yourself! Haha."

"Ah! Get away! My candied hawthorn!" Snap! Xiao Lan slapped his hand away.

"What's going on?" Ye Qiu quickly squeezed through the women surrounding him and hurried forward.

Xiao Lan fell to the ground, and her candied hawthorn was stepped on by someone else. Tears shimmered in her eyes, pitiful and distressing.

"Bold commoner! How dare you lay hands on this young master! Sooner or later, I will drive you Peasants out of the imperial city!!" A gorgeously dressed young man, about to slap Xiao Lan's face, was stopped by Ye Qiu.

Snap! Ye Qiu grabbed his wrist, flames of anger flickering in his eyes.

"Brother." Xiao Lan softly called, standing up behind him, her small hand holding onto the hem of Ye Qiu's clothes.

The followers of that young nobleman also approached Ye Qiu. "Bastard! Let go of our young master!"

"Kid, release this young master quickly! Do you know who I am?"

Ye Qiu looked at him coldly. "Who are you?"

"I am the eldest son of Count Thaddeus family, Count Sabuchu ( Literal translation of the name). Ah, ah, my hand, it's going to break!"

[sā : to let go; to cast; to let loose; to discharge; to give expression to; (coll.) to pee]

[bù cloth; to declare; to announce; to spread; to make known; variant of 布 ; to announce; to spread]

[chū at first; (at the) beginning; first; junior; basic]

After hearing his self-introduction, a dark color(using Mysterious Jade Hand) appeared in Ye Qiu's hand. " With you, I'm not afraid of anything (Sabuchu?i am not afraid of taking risks or facing challenges)( aka getting sprinkled by pee)!"

(Sabuchu !! Fertilizer spraying)

(Buchu was used by herbalists to treats enlarged prostate , urinary - tract and prostate infections)

"You jerk! Ah, my hand!" He usually detested others using his name to make fun of him. This was a symbol of nobility, something that commoners had no right to defame!

"Kid! Don't mess around, don't harm yourself!" The guard beside him had already drawn a long knife, and four yellow and purple soul rings appeared under his feet. He stared at Ye Qiu, ready for a fight!

"From the Thaddeus familly? This might be troublesome." A flash of blood appeared in Ye Qiu's eyes.

Just as Ye Qiu was about to use his Sharingan to control this prodigal son, a pleasant voice rang out.

"Sabuchu, are you bullying people again?"

A woman in a goose-yellow long dress appeared. She had a good figure, and her face was covered with a thin veil, making it impossible to see her full appearance. Her eyes revealed no joy or sorrow.

"Where, where did I..." Seeing the newcomer, Sabuchu seemed a bit flustered, as if he felt embarrassed and didn't dare to look at the woman.

"Are you picking on someone again?"

The voice of the woman in yellow made him lower his head.

Ye Qiu silently watched, showing no signs of relaxation.

"Friend, can you let him go? I can guarantee your safety."

" Lingling, I can handle it myself." Sabuchu wanted to say something, but a glance from the woman stopped him.

"I already said, call me Ye Lingling!" Her voice became a bit colder.

"Ye Lingling? The owner of the Nine Heart Flowering Apple and a member of the Imperial Fighting Team! It's quite a coincidence." Ye Qiu didn't expect that the girl who helped him would be Ye Lingling, someone who carried the burden of death from the moment she was born.

"Alright, Lingling! You guys put away your martial souls quickly; it's not good to scare the little girl!"

Sabuchu, as if he hadn't heard that sentence, began to instruct his followers.

Ye Lingling just raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Kid, did you hear what Lingling said? Let go quickly~ Ah! Ouch~" Seeing that the opposite side was about to stop, Ye Qiu also pushed him away.

He arched his hand toward Ye Lingling, "Thank you, miss!"

"No need, I just helped you because of the little girl." Ye Lingling avoided Ye Qiu's gaze and responded lightly.

"Well, then, thank you, sister!" Xiao Lan raised her hand, jumped out from behind Ye Qiu, and imitated Ye Qiu's actions.

This scene brought a faint smile to Ye Lingling's eyes.

Seeing this scene, Sabuchu, who had just been let go, didn't call out in pain anymore. Instead, he approached Ye Lingling shamelessly.

Nodding to the two of them and ignoring Sabuchu, she left directly. The guy followed behind her like a dog, running towards her.

"Lingling! Lingling~ wait for me, okay? What do you think? I listened to you just now! As long as you marry me, I promise..."

Watching the gradually leaving figure, Ye Qiu shook his head. It seemed that there were quite a few lapdogs in the aristocracy. Sabuchu didn't disgrace the name Sabu, at least.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu's eyes condensed. He noticed the hatred in Sabuchu's eyes when he turned around.

'Looks like I need to be more careful! If he dares to come again, I'll send him on his way!'
