Feng Ruqing squinted at the azure snake.
In an instant, the azure snake stopped talking, trembling with fear that Feng Ruqing might tighten her grip and strangle the azure snake to death.
Not long after, a guard who guarded the city's gate approached them with a middle-aged man in armor.
With a majestic demeanor, the middle-aged man emanated hostility. Only when he saw Feng Ruqing, a glimmer of cunning light flashed in his eyes.
"Maiden, the emperor of Tianyue Kingdom sent you here?"
"Mhmm."
Feng Ruqing answered calmly like still water.
Her eyes had a still, deep calmness like the distant and brilliant starry sky.
"Maiden, what kind of spirit herbs are you selling? What are the conditions set by Tianyue Kingdom in order to get these spirit herbs?" The eyes of the middle-aged man filled with glee. A cunning smile crept across his face, making him look like a fox.
