Chapter 1419: Origins, Wild Woman!

On the wide street, Luo Feng and Su Rui walked side by side.

“Luo Feng, why did you suddenly come to Out Cloud Country?” Su Rui asked curiously; Out Cloud Country is quite far from Canglan Dynasty.

Luo Feng smiled and said, “I’m here to train.”

“Training…”

Su Rui glanced at Luo Feng, gently nodded, slightly admiringly, “With your strength, the younger generation of Canglan Dynasty has no opponents; you should indeed come out to train. It’s a pity my strength isn’t enough. The Hall Master asked me to train a bit more before I could go out for training.”

Luo Feng saw that Su Rui had just entered the True Yuan Realm not long ago, and jokingly said, “Then why are you here? Don’t tell me you’re slacking off.”

Upon hearing this, Su Rui’s delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, her gaze turned to the gradually setting sun in the west, a peculiar expression flickering in her eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Rui’s personality has always been lively; it was the first time Luo Feng had seen her show such an expression.

Su Rui glanced at Luo Feng, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, and sighed softly, “You must have heard the rumors about me.”

Luo Feng nodded, “They say you’re a princess of Out Cloud Country…”

Noticing Su Rui’s expression, Luo Feng suddenly remembered that the eleventh prince of Out Cloud Country also had the surname Su, his eyes lighting up slightly, “Are you really…”

“That’s right.”

Su Rui nodded, gazing at the twilight, “My father is the current King of Out Cloud Country.”

Luo Feng did not expect the rumor to be true; he curiously asked, “Then why are you training in Canglan Dynasty?”

Su Rui’s face showed an inexplicable smile and said, “My father has always been a wanderer, having countless women in his life. More than a decade ago, during his travels, he met my mother, who fell for him at first sight and became his wife. She was welcomed into the Imperial City after that. However, my mother was an ordinary person, knowing well that she could not remain with my father forever due to the vast difference between them. So, after conceiving me, she left the palace quietly and lived alone.”

Luo Feng didn’t expect Su Rui’s life to be so complicated, but he understood Su Rui’s mother’s choice.

The identity and strength of the King of Out Cloud Country are lofty, his lifespan extending beyond a millennium, while ordinary people only live a short hundred years. Su Rui’s mother naturally understood this, which is why she decided to leave alone.

For this reason, powerful martial artists often choose partners with not too great a disparity in strength, rarely opting for ordinary people.

“The moment my mother left the Imperial City, she might have decided to bury this past deep within her heart forever. If that accident hadn’t happened…”

Su Rui gently took a breath, continued, “When I was ten, a beast tide broke out near the village where I lived. My mother lost her life to protect me, and it was then that I learned my true origins. Later, my father sent people to take me to the Imperial City, where I lived for two years. Due to certain events, I chose to leave Out Cloud Country and live by myself, inadvertently ending up in Canglan Dynasty.”

Luo Feng frowned, apologetically saying, “I’m sorry for reminding you of these things.”

“All of that is already in the past. I’m no longer a princess of Out Cloud Country, just an ordinary inner sect disciple of the Jade Hall in Canglan Dynasty.”

Su Rui shook her head, a playful smile appearing on her charming little face. These past events had remained sealed in her heart and this was the first time she had spoken them out loud to someone, her mood unprecedently light.

As for why she told Luo Feng, she herself wasn’t sure.

The two continued to walk and talk, turning a street corner when suddenly a group of people came towards them.

A few young martial artists encircled someone, laughing loudly, scaring the nearby people away, seemingly fearing them greatly.

“Eleventh Prince, congratulations on defeating Cloud Flame Young Master.”

“What’s Cloud Flame Young Master? The Eleventh Prince’s Violent Dream Song has now broken through the seventh level; I think there are hardly any in Out Cloud Country who can match him. I dare wager, if the experts from the Nine Great Holy Lands saw the Eleventh Prince, they’d surely take him as a last disciple immediately.”

“Haha, whether or not there are experts from the Holy Lands, I’m bound to enter them for cultivation.” A proud voice rang out—it was the Eleventh Prince of Out Cloud Country whom Luo Feng had encountered before.

“The Eleventh Prince speaks truly. If selections for the Holy Lands started now, the Eleventh Prince would surely be the first to pass the assessment among the twenty-four nations of the northern region.” Someone nearby flattered him immediately.

“Indeed.”

The conversation steadily approached Luo Feng and Su Rui, who looked up and noticed the Eleventh Prince surrounded by young martial artists. Her beautiful brows furrowed, her eyes showed a mix of restlessness and resentment.

“Su Rui, do you have a grudge against him?”

Luo Feng had already noticed the Eleventh Prince; as he observed Su Rui’s demeanor, considering her identity, he immediately thought of something.

“It’s nothing.”

Su Rui pursed her lips, shook her head, and tugged at Luo Feng, “Luo Feng, let’s leave here.”

Luo Feng noticed Su Rui definitely had something on her mind, but since she was unwilling to talk about it, he couldn’t ask further, so he nodded.

“Oh, look who I see.”

As the two were about to leave, a clear laugh echoed, and suddenly, a figure crossed the street, blocking Luo Feng and Su Rui—it was the Eleventh Prince.

The other five followed, Luo Feng glanced at them, noting that besides the Eleventh Prince, all had True Yuan Realm cultivation, ranging from the first to the sixth level. The one with the densest True Yuan fluctuations had a cultivation similar to his, in the mid-sixth level of True Yuan Realm.

“Eleventh Prince, who are these two?”

A young man wearing a purple cloud robe with slightly squinted eyes noticed the Eleventh Prince’s expression, glanced at Luo Feng and Su Rui, and inquired.

The Eleventh Prince slightly raised his head, his gaze fixed on Su Rui, “She is the seventeenth Imperial Sister I mentioned to you all before. Seventeenth Sister, I heard you’ve been in Canglan Dynasty these years. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you. Do you not think of greeting your Imperial Brother?”

Su Rui pressed her lips tightly, addressed the Eleventh Prince, “Please step aside.”

Luo Feng looked at the two, suddenly understanding why Su Rui chose to leave Out Cloud Country alone at the age of twelve.

The youth with slanted eyes beside the Eleventh Prince scoffed at Su Rui:

“So, she’s the offspring of that wild woman. What kind of mother, what kind of daughter—no manners at all.”

They had long known that the Eleventh Prince, always proud of his status, looked down upon this ordinary-blooded Seventeenth Sister, hence their unscrupulousness at this moment.

“Su Yu, you…”

Su Rui’s face flushed reddish, her beautiful eyes glared at the Eleventh Prince, trembling slightly in anger.

During her two-year stay in the Imperial City, she had always kept to herself, so few in the palace knew about her status as the Seventeenth Princess of Out Cloud Country. The fact that these people knew so much about her origins was naturally due to the Eleventh Prince’s revelations.

The Eleventh Prince patted the jade flute in his hand and smiled faintly, “Seventeenth Sister, it wasn’t me who said it, why get angry at me.”

Ching!

A flash of blade light, Su Rui draws her twin blades, pointing directly at the youth with slanted eyes who just spoke, her voice cold:

“Take back what you said and kneel to apologize to my mother!”
