Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 14 Traveling Together
"Your Highness?!"

Upon hearing this, the captain of the guards looked up and was surprised to find that the noble young man who walked out of the carriage was actually the second prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe.

He immediately knelt on one knee to pay his respects, and the guards behind him also knelt and bowed their heads.

"No need to be polite."

Xue Qinghe raised his hand slightly, signaling the guards to stand up. He immediately took out two soul coins and handed them to the captain of the guards, saying:
"Let me pay this brother's entrance fee for him."

"yes……."

Under Xue Qinghe's gaze, the captain of the guards, who originally did not dare to accept it, had no choice but to lower his head, accept the soul coins, and step aside.

"Wow! Traveler, this person is so kind! He paid for us. Now we can enter the city."

Paimeng clenched his hands together, thinking that he would have to worry about money again, but he didn't expect that a kind person would help them pay.

"Haha, since you and this... friend are also going into the city, why don't you come in and chat? Let's go in together."

Xue Qinghe smiled slightly and wanted to invite Kong and Paimon to ride together.

"Thank you very much."

Sora nodded in thanks and led Paimon into the carriage.

Now that the entrance fee has been paid, if I refuse again, it would be somewhat offensive to the other party, which is not a good thing.

Since I have to go into the city anyway, I might as well see what the other party is thinking and why they would pay for me for no reason.

Go~.

As Kong entered the carriage, the coachman drove the carriages into Tiandou City one after another, and no one stopped them.

"My name is Xue Qinghe, I don't know what to call you, brother."

Inside the carriage, Xue Qinghe sat on one side, with a maid standing beside him. Kong and Paimon sat opposite him.

"Hello, my name is Paimon." Paimon introduced himself and then looked at Kong.

"His name is Traveler, and we are adventurers from a foreign land."

"Hello Paimon, Hello Traveler..."

Xueqinghe scholar Paimeng waved his hand as a greeting.

Traveler...

Is there anyone named this?

"My name is Kong, thank you for your help just now."

Kong seemed to see Xue Qinghe's confusion, so he simply told him his name directly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Meeting is fate. This little thing is not worth mentioning." Xue Qinghe replied with a smile.

Two gold soul coins are a considerable income for ordinary people, but for Xue Qinghe, it is nothing.

In his mind, it was really worthwhile to be able to make such an amazing friend at the cost of two gold soul coins.

He was just behind Kong, so he naturally knew what had happened before.

The reason why he wanted to make friends with Kong was, firstly, because he had Paimon who could speak and fly, and secondly, the mystery of Kong attracted him.

Both of them aroused his strong interest.

"Hey, Qinghe, those people just now called you Your Highness. Are they all your subordinates?"

Paimon is a very outgoing person. When she communicates with Sora and others in Teyvat, she is basically the one doing the talking, so she is nicknamed "Mouth of God".

"Yes." Xue Qinghe nodded and continued:
"I am sorry for being so presumptuous. I am the prince of the Tiandou Empire. They are my father's subjects. They only address me as His Highness."

Xue Qinghe had no intention of hiding his identity. The two people in front of him were different from the others. Besides being full of mystery, they seemed unaffected by his identity.

"Ah! Qinghe is the prince?" Paimeng's little face was shocked.

She had only seen princes and princesses in the storybooks she read during her travels, and she hadn't expected to see one alive today. "...It's just a name."

Xue Qinghe waved his hand, thinking that Paimeng, this magical little creature, was very cute.

"Paimon and Brother don't seem to be from here. Where are they from?"

From childhood to adulthood, whether in the Spirit Hall or in Tiandou City, he had never seen someone like Paimeng.

The halo on her head felt familiar, though. It must be some special species.

"We are travelers from foreign lands, wandering around the world." Kong replied.

"Yeah! The Traveler and I are adventurers and have traveled to many countries." Paimon added.

She really likes the title of adventurer. As an adventurer, she travels around and tastes all the delicious food in the world.

"So this is what Paimon meant by traveler. Have you traveled to many countries?"

He was just wondering what the travelers meant, it turned out they were adventurers.

In Douluo Continent, there are also many people with adventurous spirit. They have always been committed to the path of exploration and are called explorers, which must have the same meaning as adventurers.

"Yes, we've been to Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Xumi, Fontaine, and Natta..."

Paimon counted on his fingers, "These are the countries that the travelers and I have visited. We have had deep connections with the gods there, and the food there is also very delicious."

"...God?" Xue Qinghe extracted a key word and was shocked.

Paimon's words seemed to mention gods, and more than one?
These two mysterious people in front of me actually have connections with gods?

"Yes, they are all our good friends." Paimon nodded without any doubt.

"Paimon, can you be more specific?"

Xue Qinghe was now very surprised and curious, and wanted to know what was going on between them and the gods.

"Hmm~ Talking bad about the God of Wind, eating the God of Rock's food, fighting the God of Thunder, rescuing the God of Grass, witnessing the fall of the God of Water, and fighting the Abyss with the God of Fire... Which of these do you want to hear?"

"..."

Paimeng's words stunned Xue Qinghe.

The two of you have actually come into contact with so many gods?

And if I heard correctly, they even fought with gods...

I didn’t expect that this young man and Paimon in front of me are so mysterious and powerful!

No wonder... when they learned that he was a prince, they didn't show any surprise at all.

It turned out that his identity as a so-called prince was no different to them than meeting a commoner.

"Hey, Qinghe, what's wrong with you?"

Paimeng saw that Xue Qinghe fell into a daze after hearing what he said, and was a little confused, so he stretched out his little hand and waved it in front of him.

"No...nothing, sorry, I just suddenly thought of something."

Xue Qinghe came back to his senses and was shocked by the sudden words.

Now that I think about it, I still don’t know whether what Paimon said is true or not.

He only believed this matter 70%, and he needed to verify the rest.

After all, the news was so shocking. Who would have thought that someone they met by chance on the street could be compared with a god!
"Paimon, I'm actually very interested in adventure. If possible, could you start from the beginning? From the God of Wind?"

Xue Qinghe barely suppressed his inner excitement; he really wanted to know these horrifying stories.

"Are you saying bad things about the Wind God? Hehe, actually I did say it. The Traveler and the Wind God have a very good relationship."

Paimeng scratched her head a little embarrassedly. She didn't mean to say anything bad about the singing singer. It was just that he made her angry...
