Chapter 592 - 475: I Don’t Know What to Name This - , Believe It or Not?

"That is your duty to report. It is not my place to interfere." Gao Neng gave no specific reply, simply leading the way outside.

Gao Xiaomeng and Fang Tangtang naturally followed at once.

The three female guards quickly rushed to the side of the guard who had been sent flying.

"What was her power level?" one of the female guards asked.

"At... at least Tier Seven!" the injured female guard coughed, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

"The report said Mu Feifei broke through a few months ago. She’s already at the Tier Seven Late Stage now. It seems... this proud Princess went easy on you."

"Mm."

"What’s the situation on your end?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary. I checked very carefully. I’m certain it’s not a mask or a disguise. She has to be the real Seventh Princess!"

"Good. Report to the Lord City Lord immediately!"

"..."

...

「Outside the Hot Spring Villa.」

The White-faced King, dressed in coarse cloth and beast hides, was stopped.

"What? Afraid I won’t pay?!" The White-faced King was furious. This entire journey had been incredibly frustrating, constantly worried about being robbed by other clans wherever he went.

And now that he had finally made it to the relatively safe haven of Water City, if he didn’t take a good bath and enjoy himself, he would be doing a disservice to his status as a City Lord.

"Scram!" The City Guard Army soldier blocking the White-faced King didn’t even spare him a glance.

"You motherf..."

"My lord!" Two attendants quickly restrained the rampaging White-faced King, then pointed to a spot not far away.

"What?" The White-faced King looked over.

There, he saw a relatively familiar figure.

The Water City Lord!

’What’s that guy doing here at the Hot Spring Villa instead of staying in his City Lord’s Mansion? Don’t tell me word of the supplies I’m carrying has already reached Water City?’ The White-faced King immediately lowered his head.

He had no friendly relations with the Water City Lord.

After all, friendships between different clans among the alien races were shallow to begin with. On top of that, he was currently carrying supplies, so he naturally had to be more careful.

"If you don’t scram now, we’ll kill you!" Seeing that the White-faced King still hadn’t left, the City Guard Army soldier guarding the Hot Spring Villa grew even more annoyed.

"Is this how Water City treats its guests? We just want to soak in the hot springs," one of the attendants protested quietly.

"Hmph, today is different. The Ninth Princess of the Celestial Race and the Seventh Princess of the Dark Night Elf Clan have arrived. They’re bathing inside the villa right now. Anyone who dares cause trouble at a time like this is making an enemy of our Blood Race!" the guard snorted.

"The Celestial Race’s Ninth Princess? Mu Feifei?!" The White-faced King naturally knew Mu Feifei’s name. Moreover, he also knew why she had come to the Blood Race.

’So that’s what’s going on!’

The White-faced King didn’t press the issue any further and slowly retreated to the side.

The Fourth Prince of the Blood Race had arranged to meet with the Dark Night Elf Clan’s Seventh Princess, Wu Dingxiang. News of this had spread throughout practically all the alien races.

How could the White-faced King not know?

"My lord... since the Ninth Princess and Seventh Princess are here, maybe we should just leave..." the two attendants from the Ice and Snow Race whispered again.

"Wait. This seems to be an opportunity." The White-faced King shook his head.

"An opportunity? What kind of opportunity?"

"From here on out, it’s all Blood Race territory. We can only get back to the Royal City by passing through their lands."

"You mean, my lord...?"

"If we can travel with Mu Feifei, who would dare to try and take these supplies from me?"

"But would the Ninth Princess let us follow her?"

"As long as we extend the invitation in the name of the Ice and Snow Race’s Clan King, I’m confident Mu Feifei won’t refuse... because this Ninth Princess isn’t just proud, she’s also incredibly ambitious!"

"But the Clan King didn’t..."

"That part isn’t important. In the past, our Ice and Snow Race would never have groveled before the Celestial Race. But don’t forget, the Blood Race lost a Strongest, while our Ice and Snow Race lost a major city. And... there’s also the matter of the Marshal’s fall... I believe that at a time like this, the Clan King wouldn’t mind having another ally in the Celestial Race!"

"I see. Your foresight is profound, my lord."

"This move of yours truly kills two birds with one stone, my lord!"

"Heh, let’s just wait at the city gate. This Ninth Princess is heading to the Blood Race Royal City, so she’s bound to pass through the North City Gate! If by some chance the Ninth Princess refuses to see us, we can just leave through the gate directly!" The White-faced King waved his hand dismissively and strode forward.

"Yes, sir!" The two attendants immediately followed.

...

...

Gao Neng didn’t actually leave the Hot Spring Villa very quickly.

He knew the female guards would go report back, and his display of dominance was only to better embody Mu Feifei’s personality.

As for the result...

He could only leave it to fate.

As he walked, Gao Neng also made some comments appraising the architecture of the Hot Spring Villa.

By the time they left the Hot Spring Villa, twenty minutes had passed.

"Greetings, Ninth Princess, Seventh Princess!" Except for the injured one, the other three female guards were already waiting outside the villa.

"Mm." Gao Neng nodded.

"The Lord City Lord has instructed that since the Ninth Princess is in a hurry, he will not delay your journey any further. We are to escort the Ninth Princess and the Seventh Princess directly to the Royal City," one of the three guards spoke again.

"Since we’re in your Blood Race territory, we’ll follow your arrangements." Gao Xiaomeng glanced at Gao Neng, then nodded.

Gao Neng, of course, had no intention of stopping her.

Because with these guards from Water City, they had an officially recognized status. Getting through the remaining major cities should be unimpeded.

It wasn’t a bad thing.

Moreover, the female guards had also prepared a sliding ’carriage’ for Gao Neng and the others.

The group, numbering nearly a hundred, set off towards the North City Gate.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the North City Gate’s walls.

Gao Neng and Gao Xiaomeng sat inside the carriage, casually sampling the prepared local specialties, and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

"The Blood Race is quite wealthy. All they’ve prepared for us along the way are Energy Fruits. Although they can’t compare to attribute materials, their quality isn’t bad." Gao Xiaomeng popped them into her mouth one by one, not letting any go to waste.

"Yeah." Gao Neng glanced out the window.

Fang Tangtang trailed miserably beside the carriage, watching Gao Neng and Gao Xiaomeng devour the fruits, a drop of drool trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"Here, this is for you." Gao Xiaomeng smiled and passed a basin of fruit out of the carriage.

"Thank you, Princess!" Fang Tangtang immediately took it without the slightest hesitation and began stuffing her face.

CHOMP CHOMP.

’Tastes so good.’

Just as she was eating, the procession suddenly came to a halt.

Then, a voice was heard.

"The White-faced King, City Lord of Ice City, on behalf of my Clan King of the Ice and Snow Race, requests an audience with the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Race!"

"Who?" Gao Neng blinked.

"I think he said... the White-faced King? The City Lord of Ice City? The White-faced King?" Gao Xiaomeng also blinked, momentarily stunned.

"The White-faced King who’s carrying supplies for two hundred thousand soldiers of the Alien Race Alliance Army, right?"

"Should be."

"Have we been recognized?"

"That should be impossible. If we were really recognized, it should have been by the Water City Lord. There’s no way it would be him, right?" Gao Xiaomeng shook her head.

At the same time, a female guard approached.

"Reporting to the Ninth Princess and Seventh Princess, the White-faced King, City Lord of Ice City, wishes to request an audience with the Ninth Princess. May he?" After speaking, the female guard added in a low voice, "The Lord City Lord says this White-faced King’s character is so-so, and he wasn’t particularly brave during the war."

The meaning was very clear.

’It’s best not to meet him.’

Besides the surface meaning, Gao Neng also understood the deeper implication.

The relationship between the Blood Race and the Ice and Snow Race...

...was nothing special!
