Two Realms: Don't call me evil!
Chapter 718 Sisters
After Wei Yushuang left the Sky Patrol, he did not take a carriage, but rode a dragon-blood horse and walked through the streets and alleys.
The Dragon Blood Horse is a special breed of horse bred by the Dali Dynasty. It can climb mountains and cross rivers as if it were walking on flat ground. Even the most common Dragon Blood Horse can travel a thousand miles a day. After putting on a vest and charging in formation, it can trample through mountains, rivers and the land.
Among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Dali Dynasty, the best are selected to form the most elite Black Iron Dragon Cavalry, and only they are qualified to be equipped with this kind of dragon blood horse.
In addition, it is said that there is a thin trace of real dragon blood mixed in the dragon blood horse's body, but whether this is true is no longer verifiable.
However, there are powerful dragon-blood horses, such as the one Wei Yushuang rides.
It is two meters and two meters tall at the shoulders, with red dragon scales glowing darkly like molten iron in the sunset, a pair of ferocious spiral dragon horns growing on its head, and golden vertical pupils with human-like pride. Its four hooves are like clouds, and as it moves, they leave large bluish-purple sparkling hoof prints on the ground that last for several seconds before slowly dissipating.
Wei Yushuang walked and stopped along the way, and she saw the current situation of Dali City.
In the main urban areas, it is bustling and lively, with pedestrians jostling each other. Luxurious places such as restaurants and theaters are brightly lit day and night, and those who come in and out are either rich or noble, spending money lavishly.
But outside the main urban area, there are stretches of tent camps outside the city.
Dali City is the capital of the country. When natural disasters and man-made disasters occur in various places, causing people to flee famine and become refugees, many refugees will instinctively gather in the capital Dali City, hoping to pray for their lives.
Even if you are begging, there are many rich people in Dali City, so you can get more money.
But in reality, when they actually arrived in Dali City, these refugees found that they could not even enter Dali City.
Because the masters in Dali City could not bear to see such suffering in the world, they refused to allow refugees to enter the city.
This resulted in a large number of refugees having nowhere to go, and they built densely packed tent camps around Dali City.
Many refugees came from the north, who were threatened by the Divine Eagle Empire and fled here to escape the war. Even so, Dali City would not allow them to enter even a single step.
Just a wall separates them, like two different worlds.
The city of Dali was full of decadence and extravagance, but outside the city there were refugees everywhere. People died of starvation and disease every day, and there were countless deserted graves.
"Use these spirit stones to exchange for some rice and flour, and give porridge to these people. By the way, what is the recent price of grain?"
Wei Yushuang took out some spirit stones and gave them to his guard team, asking them to buy food and distribute it.
The leader of the guard team stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Princess, the current price of grain is one ounce of silver for one stone of rice."
“It’s dropped a bit.”
Wei Yushuang was stunned. She was not one of those wealthy ladies who were detached from the world. The price of grain was indeed not cheap, but compared with the current environment, this price was considered good.
Last year, when grain prices were at their highest, it cost four taels of silver to buy one stone.
"I heard that Qingzhou had a bumper harvest this year, and a lot of Qingzhou rice was transported in through the canal, so the price of grain has dropped a lot."
The head guard explained, answering the question.
"Qingzhou?"
Hearing these two words, Wei Yushuang looked a little strange.
Qingzhou is a major grain-producing province of the Dali Dynasty, but isn’t it occupied by the Guiling Palace?
The main reason for the recent discussion on donations in the court was because of the Guiling Palace.
Wei Yushuang thought that if Qingzhou fell into the hands of Guiling Palace, the local people would be tortured to death! How could they have the energy to farm?
But now the situation is somewhat unexpected. Qingzhou does not seem to be affected by the rule of the evil sect Guiling Palace, and seems to be developing very well. This matter seems weird no matter how you look at it.
"Go back and find the report about Qingzhou for me."
Wei Yushuang gave an order and did not stay any longer.
There were too many refugees here, and there was only so much she could do.
Wei Yushuang couldn't help but feel more eager to advance to the Purple Mansion Realm.
As long as she achieves Purple Palace, she will be able to do more.
Leaving the guard team behind to distribute food to the refugees, Wei Yushuang rode the dragon-blood horse alone back to his mansion.
It started to drizzle on the way back, and many pedestrians were walking in a hurry.
Wei Yushuang activated her spiritual power, and the rain just slid down her golden armor and could not actually touch her body.
"I don't care. I'm going to find Su Jie."
Suddenly, while passing a street, Wei Yushuang heard a very sensitive word.
Su Jie, the newly promoted Purple Mansion Demon, has recently become famous in the Dali Dynasty. He first destroyed the Guanchao Pavilion, then slaughtered the holy monks in the Western Regions, and occupied Chongzhou and Qingzhou. The Dali Dynasty was unable to send troops to resolve them.
Wei Yushuang turned her head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Then I saw a young girl wearing a lilac short shirt, with bright eyes and white teeth.
Her black hair was tied up, her lips were rosy, her almond-shaped eyes were bright and watery, her willow-shaped eyebrows were naturally playful, and her cheeks were puffed up at this moment, as if she was sulking.
Opposite him was a woman holding an oil-paper umbrella and wearing a long green dress. She had long black hair falling to her waist, bright eyes, and porcelain-white skin. Her eyes seemed to be filled with countless stars falling, and her gaze was full of brilliance.
As the drizzle blew, her long hair swayed gently, revealing a face as white as jade and a transcendental temperament. She was clearly standing under the rain with an umbrella, but she seemed not to exist in the rain, which was very contradictory and strange.
Wei Yushuang recognized two people, sisters Ning Xinyue and Ning Yunying, who were said to be from a holy place overseas.
"Why are you looking for him? You are only at Daotai level, and that man is already at Zifu level. It's hard to say whether he will recognize you or not."
Ning Yunying poked her sister's delicate face like white porcelain and calmly rejected her request.
"Su Jie wouldn't do that. Besides, Su Jie is just one step ahead. I will definitely catch up with him in the future. I have a Xuanyin body, okay? I was born to become an immortal."
Ning Xinyue wrinkled her nose and waved her fist, not agreeing with what her sister Ning Yunying said at all.
"If you don't work hard, you will never catch up with him in your life. Su Jie has grown from a small magic cultivator to a giant in the magic world, and you are still wandering around in the Daotai realm. Do you have the nerve to look for him?" Ning Yunying slammed her head on her sister's head, not politely at all.
"Woo!"
Ning Xinyue covered her forehead and said angrily, "I don't care. Dali City is not interesting at all. I want to go and play with Su Jie. It's so nice there! This time we are going to kill the bald donkey in the Western Regions. I like rivers of blood the most."
"Miss Ning."
At this moment, Wei Yushuang turned over and dismounted from his horse and came in front of Ning Yunying.
"It turned out to be Princess Wei."
Ning Yunying's expression was calm, she just nodded slightly, not as excited as ordinary people would be when seeing a princess, because to Ning Yunying, no matter how noble Wei Yushuang's status was, she was just a defeated opponent of hers.
And when it comes to status, it’s hard to say who is more noble than who.
"Just call me Yu Shuang."
Wei Yushuang spoke, looking at Ning Yunying with complicated eyes.
She had never been defeated since she was a child, and had defeated countless geniuses from various sects, but she fell into trouble with Ning Yunying and lost to her in the duel.
This is also one of the reasons why Wei Yushuang wanted to be promoted to Zifu. He wanted to make a comeback and compete with Ning Yunying again.
"What's up?"
Ning Yunying grabbed in the air with her left hand, and Ning Xinyue, who was trying to sneak away not far away, was sucked back by a suction force.
"I just overheard that Miss Ning is friends with the devil Su Jie?"
Wei Yushuang said in a deep voice, she knew Ning Yunying came from overseas, and Su Jie should be a magic cultivator born and raised in Qingzhou.
"I met him once."
Ning Yunying seemed to know what Wei Yushuang was thinking, and said at a glance: "I will not be bored and participate in the battle between your dynasty and the demon sect. It has nothing to do with me."
Wei Yushuang breathed a sigh of relief. No one knew better than her how strong Ning Yunying, the opponent who defeated her, was.
Even if she was promoted to the Purple Mansion Realm, she would not be sure of winning against Ning Yunying.
If Ning Yunying stood on Su Jie's side, it would undoubtedly be terrible news for the Dali Dynasty.
"I, I, I am most familiar with Su Jie. If I were in Qingzhou, when Su Jie fought against Guanchao Pavilion and the bald donkey from the Western Regions, I would go up and help to fight. By then, my name would surely spread all over the world."
However, Ning Xinyue, who was standing nearby, was jumping up and down, looking very proud of herself, and did not hear Wei Yushuang's subtext.
Wei Yushuang's mouth twitched. Their Dali royal family had just had a big fight over Su Jie's matter and almost had to mobilize troops.
Su Jie, a giant of the Qingzhou magic world, not only was promoted to Zifu but also annexed Chongzhou, integrating into a powerful force. Naturally, he became a thorn in the eyes of the Dali royal family and a threat to the royal family's status.
At this juncture, in front of her, the eldest princess, most people would wish to distance themselves from Su Jie, and even if they really had a relationship, they would pretend that nothing happened.
It is rare for someone like Ning Xinyue to admit it voluntarily and act like she and Su Jie are close friends.
If it was someone else, just based on these words, Wei Yushuang would have reason to take him back and investigate him thoroughly.
But the one who said this was Ning Xinyue...
She was not afraid of Ning Xinyue, but she valued Ning Yunying who was standing behind Ning Xinyue.
"Quiet."
Ning Yunying glanced at her sister, then said to Wei Yushuang: "My sister is outspoken, it was purely an unintentional mistake."
"I see."
Wei Yushuang didn't say much, but asked, "Miss Ning, what do you think of this devil Su Jie?"
"A very determined hero."
Ning Yunying said lightly.
"Just perseverance?"
Wei Yushuang asked further, this answer was too perfunctory.
"Perhaps he has a very good talent for cultivation."
Ning Yunying added again and Wei Yushuang was speechless.
Su Jie achieved Purple Mansion at a young age, but in Ning Yunying's eyes, it was just a bit of talent.
In comparison, what has she become since she hasn't achieved Purple Mansion yet?
"My sister doesn't praise people easily."
Ning Xinyue said to Wei Yushuang that even if they were geniuses from other holy lands, her sister would never praise them casually. At most, she would say that they were just barely okay and needed to practice more.
This shows that this evaluation is already very high.
"I advise you royal family not to bother Su Jie. From what I know about him, you can't handle him."
Ning Xinyue made the suggestion with a smile, not afraid of Wei Yushuang's identity at all.
"We will make our own decision on this matter."
Wei Yushuang glanced at Ning Yunying, then mounted his horse and left.
She did not propose a duel, but planned to challenge Ning Yunying to a duel after she was promoted to Purple Mansion. (End of this chapter)
