The Legend Of Shu En
L.O.S.E 66 - Shendong

...L.O.S.E 66 - Shendong ...

Apart from its vast territory, the Tang Empire only had five major territories that were well managed by Emperor Tang. But since Tang Lang came to power, one area was completely controlled by Long Wang and there were no more residents there and the region was called the Northern Ice Island.

Now the Tang Empire had only four main regions, each of which was led by powerful nobles and supported Tang Lang in full. Cultivators who used to be criminals also worked under the nobility so that the current influence of Tang Lang was difficult to shake in the Tang Empire.

According to Tang Xia, the Tang Empire was too vast until the territories that were outside the four realms of the Tang Emperor were neglected, even though they were still part of the Tang Empire.

Discrimination had been strong in the Tang Empire ever since Tang Lang came to power. The place that the two of them were currently heading towards was a region that as far as their eyes could see contained a barren and arid land. Most people who live there are people who have difficulty meeting daily needs and are known as the lower class.

“Adik Shu, do you know? Actually in the Tang Empire many inhabitants and descendants of respectable families opposed to the rule of that bastard!” tang Xia suddenly said.

“Didn't they all have been killed and finished off.” Shu En responded.

Tang Xia shook his head and told the true incident, “There were killed, yet most of them were left alive and discriminated against. The underlings and commoners were left like prey that hunters would easily kill. This country is no longer the country I know. Cruel and cruel are the two things I felt there.”

Hearing that Shu En frowned. After they passed through the vast forest and continued to walk into the territory of the Tang Empire, only then did Shu En see for themselves how barren plains Tang Xia meant.

“I have been searching for information about the Tang Empire as long as you carry out your duties. This place is called Shendong and this is where you see the world my uncle created.” Right after Tang Xia told Shu En to see clearly how Shendong was.

The Shendong region is surrounded by rivers and waters inhabited by Vast Animals. In the past there were not too many Beasts that inhabited the waters of Shendong, but since Tang Lang ruled everything changed.

Prisoners of war, criminals, murderers and ordinary citizens were gathered together in Shendong. They were ordered to settle there with those who had opposed Tang Lang's rule.

Just to fulfill his inner satisfaction, Tang Lang gave orders to his subordinates to gather the seeds of the Emperor Beast around the waters of Shendong.

Now the waters around Shendong are inhabited by Demon Sharks and the Beast Crab. Travel access to the nearest area can only be passed by boat and managed by the Han noble family.

“They make me sick. After taking back the rights that were snatched from you, let's create a beautiful land Big Brother Xia.” Shu En said to Tang Xia so that the girl would not feel angry and disappointed after seeing the conditions in Shendong.

“Your words are like the person who would propose to me.” Tang Xia smiled and pinched Shu En's stomach quite hard.

“Yes, I'm going to propose to you right? I promised and I'll keep it.” Shu En was serious and made Tang Xia's face flushed red.

“Don't say embarrassing things with such an innocent expression! Aren't you ashamed?!” Tang Xia stepped on Shu En's foot and vented his emotions.

“You think I want with you, damn boy!” Tang Xia time hit Shu En's stomach but Shu En held her hand.

“Sister Xia, someone is approaching.” Shu En glanced at the few people walking towards the two of them.

“Be ordinary, Brother Shu. Tell them if we're both travelers.” Tang Xia took a glance at the few people walking towards them.

“Is there anything we can help you with, Mister and Miss?” greet a man in his thirties.

Behind the man looks about ten people who carry a weapon and neatly covered. With just a single look, Shu En and Tang Xia knew that the people who came to them were the criminals who held the territory.

“By the way your faces look foreign. I've never seen you guys before on Shendong.” The man looked at Shu En and Tang Xia alternately with a full-fledged gaze.

“Stupid people! Have you ever seen the two of them around here?!” Finally, the man asked his colleagues.

“No, I never saw them at all.” One of the men answered.

“Any..” The man immediately looked at Shu En and Tang Xia was extremely sharp.

“Sorry Sir, we are a traveler. We are currently on our way to Han Province to travel.” Shu En made the people who came to him believe.

“Are you two husband-wife?” The man asked.

Shu En did not reply and immediately turned his head towards Tang Lang. Then Shu En smiled and told the man that Tang Xia was his wife.

“Yes, you are absolutely right Sir. Xia is my wife. Can you help me sir to find a ship to Han Province?” Shu En asked for help and made the man smile with a grin.

“Can show your palms?” The man had Shu En and Tang Xia show their palms.

The two of them also showed their palms and made the man frown.

“What's the Master?” Shu En asked because he saw the man's expression.

“Ah, nothing. My name is Hu San. I am the one who manages Shendong.” Port The man introduced himself to Shu En and Tang Xia as Hu San.

“Do you guys have no place to stay? I suggest you stay near the port because there is an area that has life unlike the surrounding that looks slum.”

Hu San then explained many things about life in Shendong before saying goodbye and would meet the two of them at Shendong Port.

After Hu San's departure with the people he was carrying, Shu En looked at Tang Xia and smiled faintly.

“Sister Xia, we will be framed and I wonder why he asked us to show you the palm.”.

“The cultivation is at the Sky Realm stage. If they're looking for trouble we just have to beat them all up.”

“Didn't Big Brother Xia ask me not to put too much emphasis and look for trouble?”

“The expression when I look at me makes me angry and uncomfortable! Does she think I'm just a weak girl she can conquer easily?!”

Shu En fell silent and immediately watched Tang Xia closely. Tang Xia's appearance in her eyes was very charming let alone others. Tang Xia's beauty and cold gaze became more value to the girl.

“What's up?! Do you want me to touch your eyes with the sword?!” Tang Xia looked at Shu En sharply and made the young man turn his face away immediately.

“Let's go, Sister Xia.” Shu En could not hide her heartbeat when she realized just how beautiful Tang Xia was.

‘For so long in my eyes she was just a big sister figure who looked scary and horrible. I never thought she would be this beautiful.’ Shu En nodded and shook his head a few times to wake up.

Tang Xia who saw Shu En shake his head also frowned.

‘What's with this brat?’ thought Tang Xia who was indeed five years older than Shu En.

They set foot in Shendong. Danger remembers both from a distance. Shu En and Tang Xia did not realize that in the Tang Empire there was an absolute rule that only the residents there knew after Tang Xia was rumored to have died and lived in the Demon World.

It was the rules that caused both of them to have to deal with the situation that they should have avoided.
