Chapter 1070: Demon Qi Reaches the Sky
Located at the heart of Liuli Country, Liuli Island is several days by water from Laisong Island, and Hua Qian started her journey with Su Chengyu based on this timeframe.
However, Hua Qian clearly underestimated the speed of Su Chengyu’s Sword Control; in less than half a day, the two had already reached Liuli Island.
Compared to the small fishing village appearance of Laisong Island, Liuli Island finally looked somewhat like a major city.
Yet the overall architectural style still made Su Chengyu somewhat uncomfortable, as everything, from the details to the direction, was all in the style of Dongying.
"After a hundred years of independence, Liuli Country still has the shadow of Dongying everywhere," he mused.
Hua Qian bowed her head in agreement and replied, "After all, with only a hundred years of history, it’s somewhat unfair to expect Liuli Country to have developed its own culture."
"Mm."
Su Chengyu nodded in agreement, and he took up residence with Hua Qian in a Japanese-style villa arranged by the Royal Family.
The relationship between the Hua family and the Royal Family was established after Hua Yingrong had ascended to power. After seizing the position of Family Head, Hua Yingrong somehow got involved with a member of the Royal Family and then contributed the Mermaid Tear Pearl to Liuli Country annually.
It was this that allowed Hua Yingrong, who was then not yet a Nascent Soul, to gradually rise to power, exerting even greater control over Laisong Island than the Dragon Carp clan had during their reign.
Now, with the Hua family back in the hands of the Dragon Carp clan, they decided after a brief consideration to put aside the dignity of the Dragon Carp clan and continue to make contributions to the Liuli Country Royal Family.
