Two Sovereigns
Bab27's chat. The Xianxie City.
Han Xiao sat on his back in the Tofu tavern he looked very satisfied with how he felt.
"I'll have Ne Zha eat here later," Han Xiao's inner being excited.
Han Xiao's stomach was already filled to the brim, now he wanted to find the nearest inn. It was actually only a mere two hours to arrive at the Imperial Palace just that Han Xiao was lazy to enter the place quickly.
"Old man, where's the nice inn near here?" Han Xiao asked the waiter.
The old man smiled and then gave Han Xiao a hint at the nearest inn from his shop, Han Xiao threw a gold coin at the servant and got up from his seat. He wanted to arrive at the inn immediately and rest soundly.
"Young master! What you're giving me is too much change" said the maid, carrying a few silver coins and running after Han Xiao.
Han Xiao turned his body and shook his hands.
"Take it all, consider the tip money," said Han Xiao then turned his body out of the tavern and rode on the Gas horse.
The Gaseous Horse had a larger body and was sturdier than the other horses so its appearance was very striking, but in Xianxie City it was not strange that there was a Gassy Horse because the Cultivators or Nobles used the Horse, either, still the Gaseous Horse was a very expensive horse not just any Cultivator could buy a Gas Horse so the appearance of Han Xiao carrying the Gaseous Horse with him was in the spotlight as he headed towards the Inn.
"I think I'm wrong to take you Sha Houzi." Han Xiao muttered as he looked at Po Houzi who was lying on his shoulder.
Kuda Bergas stopped in front of a large building, the architecture of this building is very familiar and Han Xiao is familiar. It was Xianxie's outer city Spring Inn.
Xianxie City is unique in that it has a city within a city, currently Han Xiao had just entered the outer city where when entering there was no need to pay taxes as well as building taxes in the outer city were cheaper than the inner city.
In the inner city where the Imperial Palace stood, in the middle of this city was a huge fortress high and thick made of very strong materials. Also if you want to enter the inner city there will be hours where the city receives visitors or residents.
People will only be able to get out and in in in the morning at sunrise and then noon right at the time of the sun overhead and the night right when the sun starts to sink, he said, the inner city gate would only open every two hours before it closed again. Of course, taxes in inner cities are very expensive can be many times that of outside cities.
In the inner city contained the Ne Clan, the Su Clan, the Bi Clan and the Nobles families in the Yang Empire like the noble families of Xia, Zhao, Ling, Ma and She. The average population of the inner city was among Nobles or great merchants.
The Spring Inn in the outer city was much larger than the Spring Inn that was in Leaf city, definitely because this was an imperial city. But the Spring Inn in the city in twice as big as this of course the price given will be many times as well.
Han Xiao stepped into the Spring Inn while digesting all the information about Xianxie City that was in his head, he never thought that there would be a city within the city. Unknowingly his footsteps came to a halt when he hit someone.
"Hey do you have eyes?!" Snapped at the person while pushing Han Xiao.
Han Xiao looked at the fat young man he hit and replied, "I definitely have it." Han Xiao brought his face closer to the young man.
The young man narrowed his eyes. No, he was more like closing his eyes because his petals were piled up by his big cheeks.
"Your face is like no stranger" said the fat young man.
"I'm handsome, well get out of the way I'm so tired of wanting to rest." Han Xiao shook his hands to chase away the fat young man.
"Who do you think you are, huh?! You have hit me Young Master Zhao Jun!" Shouted the fat young man.
"Oh you're the fat Zhao." Han Xiao nodded after recalling a memory in his head.
Zhao Jun, this fat young man is the son of the head of the Zhao noble family. Although his body was very large and fat in fact he could run faster than the Gaseous Horse without using the slightest Qi. Zhao Jun was a genius of the Zhao nobility because with his age of 17 years he had already stepped on the Second Golden realm.
"Alright Young Master Zhao." Han Xiao brought his body closer to Zhao Jun and placed his lips closer to Zhao Jun's small ears. "Let this Third Prince Han Xiao pass by huh?"
Zhao Jun's full-fat body trembled upon hearing Han Xiao's whisper, now he remembered that this carefree young man before him was the Third Prince and Emperor Yang Qian's beloved son!
"His face is not foreign!" inner Zhao Jun.
Han Xiao's! For Zhao Jun to be his idol, Zhao Jun was greatly amazed at Han Xiao's war tactics and courage in taking decisions in the war from the shadows. Zhao Jun even had the map and pawn used by Han Xiao in organizing the war one year ago. He obtained the map and pawn from his uncle a general in Han Xiao's army. Zhao Jun spent a lot of money on the thing.
Zhao Jun's small round eyes twinkled at Han Xiao.
Sir...
Zhao Jun's daydream came to a realization as Han Xiao softly smacked his cheek three times.
"Okay Young Master Zhao? I want to get some rest soon" Han Xiao said.
Zhao Jun nodded his head then gave way to Han Xiao.
Han Xiao smiled then continued in his footsteps, more and more people were looking at him in surprise. Most of the people here knew Zhao Jun was an explosive character but he looked very docile before the carefree young man.
They thought it was a strange thing to not know Han Xiao. If they found out that the carefree young man who bumped into Zhao Jun they would not only treat naturally as well they would definitely bow down and pay respect to Han Xiao.
It was just that the current Han Xiao was dressed so simply that he did not look like the third Prince they knew of, nor that with a monkey on his shoulder was a little strange. But their admiration did not drop because of the aura emanating from Han Xiao's body.
"I order room one" Han Xiao asked at the reception.
"Sorry Young Master, ordinary rooms are already full of luxury rooms," said the receptionist.
"Whatever it is." Han Xiao gave the girl fifty Crystal Coins.
The girl was surprised by Han Xiao who easily threw the Crystal Coins because she thought that Han Xiao was a mortal because she did not feel the slightest aura of a Cultivator from Han Xiao, but his shock was only short-lived after he recalled this was an imperial city. It's like rich people throwing their money here.
Soon the girl took a key and called the other girl sitting behind her, "Take this Young Master into her room."
The girl nodded then escorted Han Xiao to her room.
"Thank you." Han Xiao turned his body while shaking the key in his hand.

"The boy should have started the journey to get here, if so the Dark Eagle should have arrived here and brought a reply today." A young man looked very relaxed in a gazebo while sipping his tea as he muttered softly. He was Ne Zha who was waiting for a reply from Han Xiao.
Ne Zha was actually very anxious since he had not been able to access his Fate Palace since he had destroyed it, he deeply regretted destroying his Fate Palace if he knew that the method would destroy his Fate Palace he would not do such a right.
Indeed he had a lot of knowledge from the Sacred Tiger but the memories and knowledge he had obtained were different from Han Xiao's as well there was no memory of discussing the side effects of the method he had used.
"Ne Zha's? Why are you daydreaming like that?" A subtle sound entered Ne Zha's hearing.
Slowly the figure of the red-clothed beautiful girl appeared beside Ne Zha and hugged him.
"What are you thinking? There is currently no war that you are masterminding," said Su Lihwa because he knew that Ne Zha daydreamed like that must be making plans in the war, it's just that he didn't know that this wasn't the Ne Zha he used to know. Thus Su Lihwa still considered him the same.
"I was just thinking about when Han Xiao the boy reached Xianxie city," Ne Zha said as he sipped his tea again.
"Why think? Didn't you say that Han Xiao's power is greater than yours?" Su Lihwa asked in confusion.
"It's not about strength but about when she gets there."
"Think logically, if you only need a few days it will probably be the same as Han Xiao" Su Lihwa said.
Ne Zha just closed his eyes he was so unaccustomed to talking to the opposite sex that he chose silence. But there was indeed a point if Han Xiao had received his message if he did not wish to retaliate, Han Xiao would have arrived at full speed and would have been up to a few more days.
"How did you prepare for the Battle of Miracles?" Ne Zha switched the conversation by asking Su Lihwa's preparations.
"After I break through the Golden Realm my cultivation is very smooth without the help of resources, I feel that in a few more days my cultivation will go up." Su Lihwa smiled happily.
Ne Zha nodded in response, this was already within his expectations as he knew clearly the Cultivation Manual and the state of Su Lihwa's power in cultivating.
The manual used by Su Lihwa would hold back the Cultivator in the Silver Realm until the Qi requirement in his Dantian and Martial Spirit was met, thus, but because the Manual also changes the structure in the Dantian and Martial Spirit so that the required Qi is not small and also the resources for the manual are called as rare.
"Would you practice on, there will be many strong enemies later. This competition is not only for the Yang Empire but also the Ming and Ren Empires," Ne Zha said in a Serious manner.
Su Lihwa nodded excitedly, "If so let's practice together!"
Ne Zha immediately choked on his tea upon hearing Su Lihwa's request.

"Alright thank you," Han Xiao said to the servant girl.
The girl smiled and left.
Han Xiao entered his room and jumped into the middle of the bed.
"Aaargh is very comfortable." Han Xiao shouted happily.
"SILALAAN BOY!" The screams heard from the bed made Han Xiao startled and immediately got out of bed.
The one who shouted was Po Houzi who was struck by Han Xiao's body.
"I forgot you were with me." Han Xiao laughed as he scratched his head.
"I almost died out of breath!" po Houzi's.
"It's too much" Han Xiao commented.
Slaps...
A pointed object floated up and stuck in the closet near Han Xiao.
"Groans!" Po Houzi immediately enlarged his body to its normal size.
"Let's not panic." Han Xiao patted Po Houzi on the shoulder and walked over to the cupboard and said that.
It was a brush with a roll of paper on its stalk.
"Emperor Yang Qian's cultivation is at the Void Core, he must have already sensed my presence upon arriving at the city gate," Han Xiao explained.
"Also this happens often," continued Han Xiao while opening the scroll on the brush.
"Bad brat, quickly go home to the Palace do not stop to another place like that. You're the Prince so you don't have to wait for the inner city gates to open like the others."
Han Xiao laughed as he read the contents of the letter, it was a message from Emperor Yang Qian.
It was not that Han Xiao did not want to head for the Palace but he felt that there was no need to rush nor did he like wearing robes from the empire.
Han Xiao wrote a reply to the letter and then rolled it over on a brush and gave it to Po Houzi.
"You should also be able to do something like this" Han Xiao said.
Po Houzi picked up the brush then asked Emperor Yang Qian's location, with some of Han Xiao Po Houzi's directions knowing Emperor Yang Qian's location then threw the brush.
"Well let's enjoy the rest of the kit..." Han Xiao had not had time to continue saying another brush floated up and landed beside him.
"Fuckin' dad! Just watch out for you later!" han Xiao grumbled and unrolled the letter again.
"There's no excuse, or I picked you up myself." That was the contents of the message from Emperor Yang Qian.
"What the hell," Han Xiao said annoyedly.
"You're the shit, let's go home." A voice shook Han Xiao.
A tall and dashing figure suddenly came before Han Xiao, it was Emperor Yang Qian!
Emperor Yang Qian did not say much immediately grabbed Han Xiao's hand and jumped towards the Imperial Palace.
"Sha Hou let's go!" screeched Han Xiao at Po Houzi who was still grumbling in his place.
Po Houzi immediately turned small and slid flying towards Han Xiao then landed on Han Xiao's shoulder.
"This monkey is your pet?" Asked Emperor Yang Qian.
"Yes I found it on the way."
"Not Bad." Emperor Yang Qian nodded.
