In a bustling town of dusk four figures were seen making their way through the lively town.
"Why did we have to wake up so early?" "loli" asked with a yawn.
"We're already late. I mean we spent half a month in the land of volcanoes I am pretty sure my parents are looking for me, we can't afford to be late anymore than we already are." Pim explained.
"Yeah, and I don't want to stay here the celestial energy is so thin. I can't even cultivate." Nalin complained. Hearing that pim took Nalin hand into hers and pacified her.
"Don't worry we will be out of here anytime soon we just have to find the place we can rent the carrieges and speaking of finding, this place doesn't look like a small town at all, its so huge it should atleast be called dusk city." Nalin mind was blank she basically didn't hear anything pim said. she just felt herself heating up and felt that pim's palm is scalding hot.
A sneering voice drifted over and broke Nalin's train of thoughts.
"hmph you are just country bumpkin what do you know? Let this princess tell you according to how you are looking around it shows you are country people so move out the way for this princess. This princess eyesight doesn't want to be ruined by looking at you." Qing Le the seventh princess approached the group "loli's" first thought after seeing her was "a face that could sink fish1" but the arrogance between her brows destroyed her beauty and the phoenix shaped birthmark between her brows was crunched up due to the ugly scowl on her face."
The bustling scene quieted down after the princess made her appearance soon after mummers were heard as the crowd discussed in low voices.
"That's Qing Le the seventh princess I heard that she is extremely ruthless sigh how did this people offend this devil?.
"How am I supposed to know? And also my brother was once kidnapped by this princess due to his handsome looks to be her gigolo but my brother was unresigned so she disfigured him. My brother once told me that every New year the princess has to take a bath in a barrel full of one year olds babies blood to maintain her looks." one of the spectator said.
"hissss" The people surrounding the person who said that sucked a mouthful of air
"Really? Then she is a devil. I really like the Fifth princess better than this vile creature."
"Yeah the fifth princess is nice and considerate no wonder the king dotes on the fifth princess and neglects the seventh princess due to her demonic nature."
All words of criticism was heard by the seventh princess and the group of four but they paid no heed to those words since the princess has started shouting again.
"This princess said move. This princess doesn't want you to be an eyesore." The group of four were stunned wondering how they crossed this star of misfortune but the princess mistook their silence for weakness. After a short while fire reacted
"If you find people to be an eyesore then don't look, better still remove your eyes for me, and also we don't know you but yet you are here yelling like a mad person." Fire rebuked the princess harshly.
"you...you..you.." The princess was speechless, due to her reputation, no one was daring enough to speak back to her.
"what is with the "you" I fire don't take disrespect kindly if you come at me then I can only meet you head on, think before yapping around. no elegance at all." Fire huffed
"This princess will have your entire clan of fire beast and your masters clan exterminated you dare speak rudely to this princess. You are lucky this princess has something to do otherwise this princess would torture you but this is not over let's go." Princess Qing Le waved her hands towards her servants and left only the after image of her fiery red dress was seen.
After a while the group woke up from their stupor.
"What is wrong with that princess. People like to stir trouble whenever possible." Nalin said subconsciously tightening her hold on Pim hand.
"Forget her just some flies buzzing around. Let's go we have to reach the capital by night." Pim said.
"There's something wrong with that princess." Fire said seriously.
"I know right? I mean just because you are a princess doesn't give you the right to walk all over people." "loli" rolled her eyes
"You stupid map I don't mean it like that. Master should know what I mean." Fire replied.
"yeah, you noticed that too?" pim said with a shrug
"you are not worried? this could lead to major problems atleast let's investigate so we can rest easy." fire said
"This is not our problem for now, we really should get going we will deal with her later." pim replied casually.
"Pim what's wrong? what have you discovered?" Nalin asked nervously.
"You remember the corrosive elements that we saw on the murals at the volcano? I sensed it on her so either she is a warlock or she has been in contact with them."
As they were chatting while walking they arrived at the carriage shop and they tossed the encounter with the princess at the back of their heads
"Boss how much for the carriage." Pim asked the snoozing shopkeeper
"Forgive me dear customers." The shopkeeper smiled flattering. "The carriage with a driver cost 10 purple coins but if it's self drive then 50 purple coins."
" WHAT!!!!! we know we look like a couple of rich young ladies, which by the way we are, but you can't just rip us off. why does the cost increase if we self drive?" "loli" was ready to raise hell.
"Dear customers the difference is the one that cost 10 purple coins is rented while with 50 purple coins you are buying the carriage." The shopkeeper replied slowly.
"We will just take two rented carriages. I will share with nalin while "loli" and fire take the other one" Pim took nalin by her hand and got in the carriage.
With that the group made their way to the capital."
AUTHORS NOTE: Let me explain something here. The mortal realm is futuristic while the celestial realms is ancient so they have emperors and empresses.
