Chapter 764 (Mu Ran Requests an Audience)
"Miss, what does this mean?" Mu Ran looked at the documents placed on the table.
Brittany was also bored at home, so today she was acting as a substitute for Guan Yanxin.
"These are the documents that every person entering the city must fill out. These documents will be incorporated into the Spirit Cards, serving as symbols of identity. Staying at an inn, conducting buying and selling transactions, renting a house, and even giving birth and raising children, all rely on these Spirit Cards, making one a legitimate citizen of the Voidless Empire."
Upon hearing Brittany's explanation, Mu Ran's eyes lit up. How did they come up with such a method? It was truly impressive!
When she met the king here later, she would definitely learn from him and apply the knowledge in her own country.
"Thank you, I understand," Mu Ran said softly and began to fill out the information.
Wei Chang and others also pretended to write something.
Mu Ran held the newly issued Spirit Card and said to Tang Wei next to her, "This place is truly magical. Tang Wei, you can live here peacefully from now on."
"Miss, don't you like it here?" Tang Wei asked curiously.
Mu Ran looked at the clean streets in front of her, lined with trees on both sides. Amidst the backdrop of green leaves, the whole city exuded a sense of new life.
Mu Ran had never seen the streets of that city so spacious before. The ground was immaculate, and she could even see cleaning personnel and patrolling soldiers. The commoners wore happy smiles on their faces. Although it was still somewhat quiet, Mu Ran felt that if news of the Voidless Empire's qualities like this were to spread, this place would definitely be packed. It would become a great nation, surpassing the other three countries in scale.
But at this moment, Mu Ran was worried. The rise of the Voidless Empire would surely arouse jealousy from the other three nations. They might even unite to attack this place, and it wouldn't be without bloodshed.
Mu Ran was quite certain about this; those emperors were definitely capable of such actions!
"Tang Wei, you should find a place to stay for now. I'm going to request an audience," Mu Ran said softly.
Tang Wei was worried and said, "How can that be? We've all come here, we must follow you, Miss!"
"Tang Wei, we agreed on this," Mu Ran said softly.
"I don't care. If something happens to you, Miss, I won't want to live either..."
Wei Chang heard his wife's words and felt embarrassed. Her acting was a bit over the top.
Mu Ran was also touched. She had only been with Tang Wei for a month, but she deeply felt Tang Wei's care.
"Tang Wei, thank you, but I still hope that you and Wei Chang can live well. Don't follow me into danger."
"Miss, without you, Uncle Wei and I wouldn't even be able to enter the city gate. We can't repay such a great favour! Miss, we will always accompany you."
Why did Wei Chang feel like his wife wasn't acting anymore? She seemed to be really into it...
Tang Wei was indeed really into it. She saw Mu Ran as a younger sister.
Mu Ran was also a bit troubled. Tang Wei's determination both made her happy and melancholic.
"Tang Wei, Wei Chang, Cang Konghong, thank you," Mu Ran bowed to the three of them. She could clearly feel their care throughout this journey.
Wei Chang also had a favourable impression of the kind-hearted Mu Ran and gave a simple smile.
Cang Konghong seemed ordinary, not expressing much. Mu Ran had grown used to Cang Konghong's personality and didn't say anything.
The four of them walked toward the distant palace. Even standing in place, they could see the tall towers of the palace, exuding a solemn aura under the setting sun.
Even though it was so close, they arrived as night fell. Mu Ran once again felt that the Voidless Empire was sparsely populated. The occupancy rate hasn't even reached two layers.
Now, Ye Hua relied on Mu Ran to attract attention.
When they reached the outer wall of the palace, Mu Ran couldn't help but sigh. This seemed like a city within a city. One palace of the Voidless Empire was already larger than the entire Guda Principality. The luxury had reached an unimaginable level, terrifyingly so.
Finally, they arrived at the palace gate. Mu Ran was feeling a bit breathless...
This was because the entire palace emitted a strange aura that made people feel heavy-hearted. They couldn't help but avoid looking up and could only bow their heads!
On both sides of the palace stood a row of black-armoured warriors. The aura emitted by these warriors made Mu Ran feel even heavier, and she couldn't even see their faces clearly, adding a sense of mystery.
Mu Ran walked to the central position and respectfully called out, "I am the Saintess of the Divine Steppes. I have a matter to discuss with the king of the Voidless Empire!"
The two rows of black-armoured warriors didn't show any reaction and stood silently, as if they were statues.
Mu Ran didn't dare to take another step forward. She felt that if she took another step, these black-armoured warriors would immediately draw their swords!
After waiting for a while, Mu Ran shouted again, "Saintess of the Divine Steppes, requesting an audience with the king."
Finally, the golden gates of the palace opened...
Appearing before her was a woman in purple attire.
As she looked at the woman not far away, Mu Ran's beautiful eyes revealed astonishment. Could this be the king's consort? She was so beautiful... just as beautiful as the one she had seen at the entrance, but there was a subtle difference in their beauty.
"Our Emperor is resting! Come back tomorrow if you have matters!" the woman in purple attire said softly and then returned to the palace.
Mu Ran was slightly surprised. This woman didn't seem to be the king's consort. Unbelievable... such a beautiful woman wasn't the king's consort.
It was truly inconceivable.
In Mu Ran's mind, someone who was so stunningly beautiful would definitely be taken by the king.
"Let's go find an inn to rest for now," Mu Ran said softly. It was quite late, and it wasn't appropriate to visit at this hour. However, she was curious, so she wanted to see what the king actually looked like as soon as possible.
Tang Wei nodded in agreement, and the four of them went to find an inn to rest.
Inside the palace, Ye Hua was seated in his chamber. Donghuang Baizhi stood behind him, her delicate fingers lightly resting on his shoulder. Qing Ya sat beside them, peeling an orange.
"Ye Hua, weren't you quite eager to meet this Mu Ran recently? Why now that she's here, you're not letting her in?" Qing Ya peeled a piece of orange and brought it to Ye Hua's lips.
Ye Hua had gotten used to being pampered by his wives like this. This was what a wife should be like. He should have done this earlier.
Ye Hua chewed the orange and then said, "This Mu Ran is still a bit too sharp. She needs to be polished."
"Others are contributing to their country, and yet you call her sharp." Qing Ya pinched her husband's cheek playfully. In response, Ye Hua turned his head and gently bit down on Qing Ya's slender finger.
This action made Qing Ya's heart skip a beat. Even though they had been married for a long time, she still couldn't resist Ye Hua's teasing. Every time, her heart would race and her face would turn red. He was truly a mischievous guy.
"Come on, do you have to do this? Are you treating me like air?" Donghuang Baizhi, who was massaging his feet, chuckled and interjected.
