Chapter 148: I Am the Heaven, Undying and Indestructible
The woman paused, looked doubtfully at her companion. Greetings were usually just a matter of courtesy, and Phoenix had never responded before, at most slightly nodding. But today...
The young servant plucked up courage and asked again, "Miss, may I ask where you are going?"
Phoenix turned to look at her, smiling slightly, yet unable to conceal her excitement in her demeanor, "To register for the city assembly~" Watching the two figures leave, the two servants exchanged glances, seeing a large amount of surprise in each other's eyes.
After a while, the woman named Vini slowly revealed a smile and sighed, "It seems that the young master from the East is going to be our Cang Family's future son-in-law."
Entering the east gate, and walking along the thoroughfares of Muni City for about ten minutes, they arrived at the bustling registration site for the city assembly.
To Su Chen's surprise, the registration site was set up just outside a side gate of Parkinson Spirit Palace. Seeing the line stretched hundreds of meters long, and the crowd watching on, Su Chen felt somewhat helpless.
"Had I known, I would have come later."
"It's come earlier, you fool. Coming late will only have more people."
Phoenix scolded, "I told you to get up early, yet you dilly-dallied like a young lady."
Seeing her cute and playful manner, Su Chen couldn't help but smile, and the two stepped forward towards the long line.
"Clear out, clear out, the princess is coming!"
Just halfway through, someone shouted from over there, causing a commotion among the crowd.
Su Chen turned to look, a troop of light cavalry slowly approached, followed by a lavish grand sedan carried by eight people. On the grand sedan, a young girl in a pink dress leaned slightly to the side, her beauty was astonishing. The crowd kept chasing, some even jumping from time to time to attract the young girl's attention.
Su Chen frowned, "The princess of the Golden Wind Empire?"
"Yes, her name is Ginny, she is His Majesty's most beloved daughter."
Phoenix agreed, "But I don't know why she came here."
"Could she be here to register too?"
Su Chen joked.
"How could that be, the city assembly is a talent selection competition, she is already nobly of great worth, why would she want these false reputations?"
Phoenix disbelieved.
"That may not be the case, the city assembly primarily selects talents, but it's also an effective way to test personal strength. If I were one of those noble youths, even if I didn't want fame, I would hope to use this opportunity to test my progress."
Su Chen said.
Thus being said, Phoenix felt it made a lot of sense, "You are right, actually at the city assembly, there are quite a few noble families' children. As you said, they are not aiming for fame, nor eager to illuminate their ancestors, they just want to see how strong they really are. But Princess Ginny has never appeared at the city assembly before, why this time..."
As they spoke, the grand sedan arrived at the registration area, the curtain lifted, and a lovely figure gracefully descended.
That graceful posture and swirling skirt made her look like a Nine Heavens Goddess, attracting all the attention. Slowly landing in front of the registration area, this glowing beautiful princess raised her eyes, lazily reporting her name: "Ginny, seventeen, Jinshi Royal Family..."
The staff at the registration area was still dumbfounded, Ginny's beautiful eyes swept over, her celestial face showing a slight displeasure, "Didn't you hear my words? Do I need to repeat them?"
"No... no need! Sorry, princess! I'll register you right away!"
The man was shocked pale, quickly begged for mercy, then under the stunned gaze of everyone, registered Ginny's information.
Ginny lifted her delicate brows, her expression arrogant, glanced around, and after seeing those eyes of admiration or envy, let out a proud snicker, turned and headed back to the grand sedan. These third-rate nobles, she didn't regard them at all. If it weren't for her father refusing to register for her, why would she need to come here to suffer herself? Her jade feet landed, just about to jump onto the sedan.
And at that moment, a voice echoed out, "Princess, halt!"
Ginny furrowed her brows, snorted in anger, and reluctantly turned around. She hated when others acted impolitely in front of her.
"Who is it?"
Her voice held a bit of anger.
Unexpectedly, just turning around, the displeasure on her face instantly vanished like a retreating tide, replaced by surprise, "Brother Nalan, why is it you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the crowd but also Phoenix and Su Chen simultaneously changed their expressions!
That tall, crane-like elegant young man, who else could it be but Nalan Kang? Strangely, today he was without any henchmen of the Nalan Clan.
Could it be that he, a dignified young master of the Nalan Clan, came to register all by himself?
Phoenix's gaze turned icy cold, she bit her silver teeth, her jade fists slightly trembling. Su Chen sensed her anger, held her jade fist, and shook his head at her, signaling not to act impulsively.
"Haha, Princess, we really seem to have a connection."
Nalan Kang ignored all gazes, approached Ginny, and began spewing nauseating words.
But Princess Ginny seemed quite appreciative of this, her high and noble charming face surprisingly showed a smile, "Brother Nalan, long time no see, it's rare that you remember me. Tell me, where have you been enjoying yourself lately?"
Nalan Kang laughed heartily, his demeanor free, which truly ignited a difficult-to-contain anger in Phoenix's heart.
This insincere hypocrite!
"How could I dare? Under the princess's eyes, Nalan Kang wouldn't dare to be wanton. Besides, with the princess being so uniquely gracious, even if a fairy descended, I wouldn't take a look."
Nalan Kang joked.
