A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Chapter 315 Entering the City

Staring at the endless beach, everyone was filled with mixed emotions—the joy of seeing their homeland again, the longing for their loved ones that had made them ill…

Only Hua Buyu was eager to try, her face full of excitement.

"Hey~ do you think the environment of this Ancient Cang Kingdom is the same as the four kingdoms? I wonder if the people of Ancient Cang are good-looking, but Grand Preceptor Xie is quite handsome, as is Shui Yi. I guess the environment of Ancient Cang is good for people. If we can have a few romantic encounters this time, then this trip will not be in vain..."

No one responded; they all turned around and went back to pack their bags, leaving Hua Buyu standing on the deck talking to herself.

"Grand Preceptor, are you sure we don't need any disguises and can just enter the city wearing these Yuanqi clothes?"

Feng Qingyang leaned against the door frame, still not quite believing him.

"Hmph! Feng Qingyang, you dare to question the abilities of this national master?"

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, he quickly forced a smile and said, "It's not a question! It's just a precaution. If the ancient land is desolate and wild, and you said you haven't set foot here for over twenty years, what if those people don't recognize you and keep us outside the city, or even treat us as enemies?"

"Will not."

"So confident? Who gave you that?"

With a flicker of his blue eyes, Xie Cangming casually waved his snow-white robe, signaling Feng Qingyang to come over.

"how……"

Before he could finish speaking, the light in the room suddenly dimmed, making it pitch black.

"A gentle breeze blows."

A sinister voice sounded in his ear, and his knees suddenly buckled, causing him to fall straight forward. Fortunately, the soft couch was thickly laid out, so he didn't make a loud noise.

"Xie Cangming, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"Who gave you the right to question me?"

"I……"

The flickering light was extremely uncomfortable, and Feng Qingyang subconsciously raised his hand to shield his eyes.

Now it was Xie Cangming's turn to lean against the door frame, arms crossed, laughing dismissively.

"You should know that I can make you..."

He didn't continue, but the threat in his eyes was very obvious.

"...Alright! I'm sorry, it was my fault for offending you, Grand Preceptor."

"Hehe~ When you disembark later, remember to bring the blue flute that my teacher always carries with him."

"You said you carried it with you, so why should I carry it for you?"

"Any objections? Hmm?"

Feng Qingyang felt a surge of anger welling up inside him, but he couldn't vent it. "And what else? You didn't bring a single change of clothes?"

Xie Cangming lifted his leg and walked out, leaving only his back view behind.

"No, once we arrive in Gu Cang, everything we need will be of the highest quality. There's no need to bring these things."

"……Fine!"

After drifting for more than a month, suddenly stepping onto flat ground made the group feel swaying and unsteady.

"Hua Buyu, are you alright?"

"I didn't... *vomit*"

As soon as she disembarked, Hua Buyu began vomiting violently, her face turning frighteningly pale.

Xin Moling handed her a handkerchief, then turned back and raised an eyebrow at Feng Qingyang.

"Why are you looking at me? She played until late at night and ate so much early in the morning. My nephew couldn't handle it and that's why he vomited like this. He'll be fine after a while and doesn't need any medicine."

After hearing this, the group glared at Hua Buyu with disdain.

Xuan Yuan grabbed her by the back of her collar. "Bu Yu, if you torment the child again, I will never forgive you."

"Hey! I'm pregnant!"

"Now they're saying she's pregnant. Last night, we don't know who it was, but they were howling and wailing outside the window, disturbing our peace and quiet."

"Your Excellency, I was just singing a lullaby to the baby!"

Without delay, they bantered with Hua Buyu as they walked out onto the vast beach.

About an hour later, when Hua Buyu was so exhausted that he could not straighten his back, a gray-white city wall faintly appeared deep in his pupils.

Hua Buyu rubbed her eyes and gazed into the distance. "I'm not mistaken, that's the city gate tower, right?"

Xie Cangming remained calm, but the emotions in his eyes were complex and unreadable. "It's Lin Yue City."

"Linyue City? Does it belong to the Ancient Cang Kingdom?"

"Yes, it can be said to be the border of Gu Cang. All those who enter Gu Cang from outside must pass through this city."

Xuan Yuan stared at the group of tiny, ant-like figures in the far distance, his dark pupils filled with determination. His voice was low and his expression serious.

"If we enter this city, where will we find Yan'er?"

"Once we enter this city, we will head west and reach the Ancient Cang Palace in less than two days."

Hua Buyu rubbed her aching calves. "Grand Preceptor, you said..."

"Hua Buyu, from this moment on, you are not allowed to call me the National Preceptor. In Gu Cang, I am not the National Preceptor of Yuan Qi."

"Then what should I call you? Xie Cangming?"

He smirked, "If you call me 'uncle' like Xiao Mo'er does, I can accept it."

Upon hearing this, Hua Buyu practically rolled her eyes to the sky. "You wish!"

"..."

"By the way, Xie Cangming, what kind of credentials do you have to enter the city? At border crossings like this, don't you usually need to show your ID card?"

Xie Cangming was both displeased with her impolite address and couldn't understand her identity card, so he coldly said, "No need! You can just come into the city with me."

"Oh!"

They walked for another half an hour, though the distance was only about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. It was Hua Buyu who was putting in the effort, and she said she needed to rest after only a few steps. Given that she was pregnant, the others also slowed down.

Beneath the walls of Lin Yue City, two armies patrolled back and forth. Even in remote territories, far removed from other countries, they would not let their guard down, for there were a few tribes around the Ming Domain that did not submit to rule.

The lead guard was the first to spot a group of people not far away, a group of foreigners dressed in unusual clothing.

"Somebody come!"

"Chief of the Hundred Guards."

"Come with me and see if it's some troublesome fishermen from the Mingyu region. Have the brothers get their weapons ready and drive them away."

"Yes."

On the other side, the group arrived at the city walls. Unable to resist their curiosity, Hua Buyu pulled Liu Qing forward to ask questions.

"Brother soldier, could you please let us into the city?"

The man looked Hua Buyu up and down, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes, but he still showed no mercy and swung his longsword in front of him.

"What tribe are you from, you fisherwoman? Get out of here, or you'll be caught with swords and spears."

Liu Qing quickly shielded her behind him, the fierce look between his brows vanishing in an instant as he tried to remain calm.

"Sir, we are not fishermen, but are here to find our relatives. We hope you can do us a favor."

He glanced behind the two people; he couldn't make out their faces, but their aura suggested they were not ordinary people.

"The centurion has decreed that no foreign tribes are allowed to enter the city, and those who disobey will be killed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the centurion came up to her and immediately took a liking to the charming Hua Buyu, a lewd smile on his face.

At this moment, Liu Qing had already decided to kill.

"Beauty, if you come with me, you can come and go as you please in Lin Yue City."

He pointed at the flowers without saying a word, his smile so lewd that the wrinkles on his face were squeezed into the shape of a chrysanthemum.

Upon seeing this, Hua Buyu felt nauseous again.
