His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 12: Royal Academy

Royal Academy, the largest and most powerful academy in the entire Southern Region.

The Royal Academy straddled the centre of the Three Great Southern Empires, jointly founded by the three Empires.

With a radius of hundreds of li¹, and a vast area, surrounded by dense forests, the Academy was comparable to a large city.

There was a mountain road leading directly to the Academy outside the dense forest. There were many carriages and mounts speeding along the way. On both sides of the road, there were young boys and girls carrying bags and wearing simple clothing walking alone.

Yu Qing Qian rode Chi Yan and galloped to the entrance of the Academy without stopping.

She dismounted and looked up towards the Academy’s gate.

From the outside, the entire Royal Academy looked like a mysterious and distant ancient castle, with its towering outer walls extending to the clouds, majestic and grandeur.

Outside the Academy, there were many people lining up to register. She visually estimated that there were about four to five thousand people.

“Those who have registered, please line up in order. If you violate the rules, your registration will be cancelled immediately.” A loud voice came form the high walls of the academy, and many people below who wanted to spend money or threaten to jump in line immediately stopped their little thoughts.

Yu Qing Qian looked around and found that there was a relatively wide area on the side of the Academy for parking carriages and tying horses. She walked over and tied Chi Yan in the stable.

“Be good, I’ll be back in a short while.” She rubbed her head against Chi Yan and said.

Chi Yan blew out a few breaths from his nose and neighed, then also rubbed his head against Yu Qing Qian.

Then she walked to the main entrance of the Academy and joined the long queue.

Right now, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the exposure was so irritating that many boys and girls had their clothes soaked with seat, complaining continuously.

“What kind of broken rules are these? Just to register, we’ve got to be exposed in the sun, the heat’s killing me.”

“Keep your voice down, you’ll be dead if the Academy’s instructors hear you.”

“I heard that this is the first of the Academy’s assessments. Anyone who directly faints or is lazy will be disqualified from admission. Yu just need to bear with it.”

“How much longer will it take! This princess’s face is about to be tanned.” A girl in yellow clothes shouted domineeringly with a stern look.

A girl standing behind her quickly fanned and coaxed her, “Princess, please bear with it a little longer, with your talent, you’ll be able to be viewed with significance after entering the Academy, you’ll pass the test soon.”

“…”

Yu Qing Qian found that many people around her were complaining about the inhumane registration assessment of the Royal Academy, especially those with extraordinary status.

However, there were also some nobles and civilians who were very calm from the beginning. She scanned those people one by one and remembered them in her heart.

The scorching sun was nothing to Yu Qing Qian, who had already mastered the first level of the wood-class variant ability.

A mass of green energy was constantly circulating in the dan’tian inside her body. When the sunlight fell on her, it would actively dissipate the heat, and she remained refreshed the entire time.

Seeing that the queue in front was still long, Yu Qing Qian took out the [General Continental Lesson] in her hands and read through it.

This was given to her by her dad before she left. It recorded the distributions on this Continent, detailed introductions to spiritual plants and magical beasts, and also included illustrations which was interspersed with the customs and traditions of many places, which was rather interesting.

Soon, she was immersed in the book and began to read it with enthusiasm.

Yu Qing Qian was delicate and beautiful, with bright teeth and radiant eyes, as well as well-dressed. A pair of watery eyes narrowed like the clearest mountain spring, showing liveliness and enchantment.

Right now, the girl held a thick gold-cover book and quietly flipped through it. She stood out among the crowd of people who were fanning furiously and complaining.

In particular, she seemed to not be affected by the scorching sun at all, so leisurely and content that many people cast curious glances at her.
