Chereads / The Fallen Consort / Chapter 21 - Feng Kingdom

Chapter 21 - Feng Kingdom

Feng Kingdom is one of the lowest-ranked kingdoms around Huaxia. It was located near Min Xiang River. Even though it was in the lowest rank, it was considered a big kingdom for the non-cultivators. Linyu explained everything to Yi Ling. He was made aware by Mu Xin that Yi Ling didn't know anything about Huaxia since she came from a very remote area. Along the way, Yi Ling suggested that she act as his little brother instead. She didn't want to stand out any more than she had to, so she planned to just tag along behind Linyu and be his little tail. Since Linyu was her contracted spiritual herb, she could communicate with him telepathically. She planned to get a new set of robes when they got there so she didn't look like his servant. But first, they needed to earn money, she thought. They both didn't have the slightest clue on how to achieve this, so they decided to see what they could do or sell.

They reached their destination on the third day. The Abyss wasn't that far from it. A crowd could be seen at the main gate. There seemed to be a line forming.

Linyu decided to ask around. He found an older gentleman in the line. He seemed to be a vendor, he thought.

"Excuse me, sir. May I know what is going on here? Why is there a line?" Linyu's voice sounded intelligent. The line was quite long, and it was already past noon. He rubbed his chin.

"Aiya, you must be new here, young master." The old gentleman looked at Linyu and Yi Ling. Seeing how they dressed, he figured out that Linyu must be from a noble family and Yi Ling was his servant. You couldn't help it; Yi Ling looked so rugged, added by not being able to clean herself.

"The Feng Kingdom is having a Grand Auction at Rongyu Auction House tonight. They have announced that they are auctioning some rare treasures. They said that they discovered a cave, and it contains a lot of treasures inside. I have the list with me somewhere." He patted himself and found the list in his pocket. He handed it to Linyu.

Linyu took a look at it and understood the situation. Rongyu Auction House was selling a variety of gems, weapons, rare herbs, concoctions, low spiritual stones, and a spiritual sword. It seemed like the sword was the main item for tonight. Linyu read the list out loud to Yi Ling through telepathy. After reading it, he handed it back to the old man. He thanked him and lined up as well.

Aside from waiting a long time, they luckily got inside the Feng Kingdom before sunset. They didn't have any money at all, so they went to look around first. Since they were both wearing masks, it gave a mysterious feel to the people. Though it wasn't rare to see someone wear a mask, it was uncommon.

~Yu'er, let's go to the main square. Maybe we'll be able to get an idea by going there~, Yi Ling said telepathically. Linyu nodded. They saw a lot of stalls, shops, restaurants, and inns near the square.

One of the stalls was selling some baozi. Yi Ling's stomach grumbled at the wonderful smell. She hadn't had a good meal in five years. Money, I need money! she thought. Linyu felt her rising emotions. He fortunately didn't have to eat because he's an herb, after all. All he needed was water and spiritual energy. Since his main body was planted inside the Blue Rose Palace, it had the perfect combination of spiritual energy and water from the pond. The pond wasn't ordinary either; it was spiritual water. Anything inside the Blue Rose Palace was bound to be a priceless treasure.

That's it! he thought. He informed Yi Ling about his idea, and she instantly nodded. Her smile went wide up to her eyes.
