Chapter 58: The Prestigious Guests
On the bustling streets of Nine Stars City, two young women in elegant, luxurious attire strolled side by side. Their noble bearing immediately set them apart from ordinary cultivators.
The sight of the duo naturally drew attention, and not all of it was innocent. Yet, the white cloud emblem stitched onto their garments made even the boldest observers quickly avert their eyes and give way.
These were students of Soaring Cloud Academy—figures no one in their right mind would dare provoke.
"Xi'er, isn't this a bit reckless? The teacher warned us that Nine Stars City is teeming with all sorts of unsavory characters. Just recently, a Soul Dominion expert was mysteriously killed here," Jiang Ruochang said, her voice tinged with worry.
"What's there to be afraid of, Wan Chang?" Gu Yunxi replied with a carefree laugh. "The teacher said we're free to explore as long as we avoid trouble. Do you know how stifling it's been in the academy? Now that we're out, we must seize the chance to relax!"
Their lively chatter filled the air as they walked.
Gu Yunxi was no ordinary girl; she was the little princess of the Dragontree Empire, a nation whose strength far surpassed that of the Heavenly Star Empire.
Jiang Ruochang, on the other hand, was the cherished youngest daughter of the illustrious Jiang family. As the youngest of ten siblings, with nine doting elder brothers, she was truly the apple of her family's eye. The Jiang family, with its thousand-year legacy, was renowned across the Azure Continent.
The two moved through the streets, buying anything that caught their fancy and storing it in their spatial rings. Vendors were all smiles, thrilled to encounter such generous customers.
