The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

"What? Haven't you heard them say anything?" Chu Chenjing asked, his face darkening.

“Yes, yes, we’ve heard it. We can’t understand a word of their gibberish. Only one person can speak our language,” Magistrate Du quickly replied.

He then continued, "We have heard from Battalion Commander Lei that they are from another continent, and we have heard of them, but we do not understand a word of them."

He paused, then looked at Chu Chenjing and said, "Your Highness, I still find it hard to believe that there are people on the other side of the sea."

“Yes! At first I didn’t believe it either, but they did come from the sea, and their technology on the mainland is more advanced than ours.” Chu Chenjing said, then led the group and followed Battalion Commander Lei to their courtyard.

He instructed Leng Yi to lead the others to their rooms, while he, Ouyang Yunyao, and Chu Feng followed Battalion Commander Lei into the hall.

The county officials stared at each other in disbelief after hearing what Chu Chenjing said. How could there really be people on the other side of the sea? How could they have gotten here? In their confusion, they followed Prince Jing into the hall.

After Chu Chenjing took his seat, he said to Magistrate Du, "My wife and I will stay in Huaiyang Town for a day today, and we will rest in this courtyard tonight."

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Du hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Highness Prince Jing, Princess Jing, this humble subject will arrange a more suitable place immediately..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Chenjing raised his hand to interrupt him, "Lord Du, there's no need to trouble yourself. My wife and I will stay here for the night; it's more convenient here."

He then turned to several officials in the county government office: "I have no other business here today, Lord Du, you may all go about your business."

Magistrate Du and Assistant Magistrate Shen exchanged a glance and said, "Your Highness Prince Jing and Princess Jing, if there is anything you need me to do, please have someone come and inform me."

After they finished speaking, just as they were about to take their leave, Joliffe and several other blond-haired, blue-eyed Robinians walked in.

Upon seeing Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao, they immediately greeted them with the etiquette of the Luoba Continent and spoke in Luoba language.

Chu Chenjing understood the greeting perfectly. Without waiting for Ouyang Yunyao to translate, he replied in Lopa: "Your Highnesses, greetings! Please have a seat!"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunyao winked mischievously at Chu Chenjing. "Heh! Not bad! Trying to learn something new right away!"

Chu Feng looked at Chu Chenjing and thought to himself, "..." Your Highness, I can say those words too.

Battalion Commander Lei and the other officials from the county government were all a bit confused. What? His Highness Prince Jing could understand this strange language, and even speak it?

Prince Jolif and the other Luoba people were also stunned. This Prince Jing had only been in contact with them for a few days, yet he had already learned some of their language. The people of the Western Chu Kingdom were indeed extraordinary!

Upon seeing Qiao Lifu and the others arrive, Chu Chenjing gestured for Magistrate Du and several officials from the county government to stay as well, and everyone took their seats.

After everyone sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries, Qiao Lifu asked eagerly, "Your Highness Prince Jing, what brings you and Princess Jing here?"

Chu Chenjing raised an eyebrow, glanced at them, and said with concern, "Your Highness, I heard that you were attacked by men in black on the road. I was worried about you, so my wife and I came here directly."

"Your Highness Prince Jing, thanks to your protection, none of us were injured and the goods were intact." Joliv immediately stood up and thanked them again.

They were not particularly surprised by the attack, after all, robberies were common when transporting large quantities of goods in their kingdom.

To his surprise, the prince of Western Chu was so concerned about them. He was very grateful and thought to himself that he was determined to befriend him.

Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao were unaware of Prince Joliv's thoughts or their actions that day. They were also unaware that they had received much help from Prince Joliv when they arrived on the continent of Loba.

Ouyang Yunyao provided fluent simultaneous translation for Chu Chenjing and Prince Qiaolifu, making their communication very smooth.

Magistrate Du and his subordinates were stunned by the scene. Princess Jing was speaking the language of the Western Chu Kingdom one moment and the language of the golden-haired foreign tribe the next. They were utterly shocked. A woman could be so fluent in the language of the continent across the sea; it was simply unbelievable.

Ouyang Yunyao paid no attention to the shock of the crowd and continued to translate for both sides in a pleasant voice, accurately and fluently.

At this moment, Chu Chenjing's expression darkened, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Your Highness, do you know who attacked you?"

The Luoba people all shook their heads, among them Brian guessed, "Your Highness Prince Jing, could you be a bandit?"

“They are not bandits. They are not from my Western Chu Kingdom. According to the black-clad men we captured, they are members of the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Yue Rong Kingdom. Their attack on you was premeditated, and their aim was to seize the muskets from you.”

"They stole our muskets?" Jolief and the others exclaimed in unison, and Henry even stood up excitedly.

Chu Chenjing nodded slightly, "It must be because they saw the muskets you displayed in Yue Rong Kingdom, which made the Heavenly Demon Gang target you."

Joliv thought for a moment, then said, "We do not hide muskets in the Moon Rong Kingdom; our guards are all equipped with muskets."

“Your Highness, you may not know this, but with just a few muskets, without our protection, it would be very difficult for you not to get injured,” Battalion Commander Lei said.

Joliv and his men were indeed deeply frightened this time. If it weren't for the skill of the soldiers sent by Prince Jing, some of them might have died here. They never expected that the people on this continent would be so skilled.

They talked for a while, and finally, Chu Chenjing said to Qiao Lifu and the others, "Your Highness, considering that you are carrying so much cargo and your journey will be slow, how about I take you directly to Shatai City tomorrow?"

"His Highness Prince Jing is going to personally escort us?" Jolief asked, his face full of surprise.

"Exactly." Chu Chenjing nodded. "It will probably take you six or seven days to travel with the goods."

The blond men, including Jolief, were somewhat confused. What did Prince Jing mean by that? Did he mean that if he escorted them, they wouldn't have to travel for six or seven days? They wondered if Prince Jing was perhaps leading them on a shortcut.

At this moment, Henry asked urgently in broken Western Chu language, "Your Highness Prince Jing, are you... are you going to lead us through a shortcut? To shorten our journey?"

Before Chu Chenjing could explain, Ouyang Yunyao chuckled, a sly glint in her eyes, and said directly in Loba language, "His Highness Prince Jing will send you off using the shortest route, by sending you off with a giant iron bird flying in the sky!"
