The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 1040: No mercy!

“Princess Jing! Please ask whatever you wish, we will tell you the truth.” Prince Jolif said sincerely.

After a moment of contemplation, Ouyang Yunyao asked, "If what you all say is true, this is the first time you have discovered our Yuzhou Continent, then why is Mr. Henry fluent in the language of our Western Chu Kingdom?"

Her question was direct, but she actually had a question in her mind. She wanted to know if there were any people from later generations who had traveled to the continent of Loba. She wanted to know if the muskets in the hands of these blond people were brought by time travelers, or if the continent of Loba had really developed the technology it had to this day.

"Princess Jing! So that's what you were asking about!" Upon hearing this, Jolief laughed heartily, and the other blond men also laughed along.

Before Joliv could elaborate, another blond man, Oria, spoke up first, "You may not know this, but the Henry family is a legendary family in our Kingdom of Lorian."

As Ouyang Yunyao translated their words simultaneously, she opened her eyes wide and asked in Lopa, "Ah! What does that mean?"

Oria pointed at Henry and said, "Everyone in their family has an extraordinary talent for languages. Let Henry speak for himself!"

After Ouyang Yunyao finished translating, Chu Chenjing and the others all looked at Henry, waiting for him to speak.

Henry, whose name was called, blushed slightly. After Oria finished speaking, he immediately spoke in the Western Chu language: "Oria is right. I don't know why, but people in our family seem to have a magical talent for language, or you could say it's a special ability."

Even if we've never spoken a language before, we can naturally learn it by spending just two days with the locals and listening to them speak.

"You can understand it automatically without having to study it deliberately?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ouyang Yunyao's eyes.

Such talent was too bizarre, making her wonder if the ancestors of the Henry family were time travelers, deliberately concealing it?

“That’s how it is!” Henry nodded and answered truthfully, “I don’t know why, but just by looking at the other person’s lip movements and gestures, I can vaguely guess what they mean, and I can try to communicate. Within a few days, I can communicate smoothly.”

Seeing that Henry was not speaking the Western Chu language very fluently, Ouyang Yunyao still had doubts in her heart, but then she thought that maybe it was really as he said, so she suppressed her guess.

But Gong Qianyu, standing to the side, felt a sense of doubt. He looked at Henry and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Such a strange thing?"

A storm was brewing within him, for his grandfather had once spoken the language of the continent of Loba. When he was a child, his grandfather always made him and his two older brothers and sisters speak this language, which they at the time thought was just some kind of bird language his grandfather was teaching them.

It wasn't until he heard these blond people speaking on the street that he realized he could understand them and that his grandfather was speaking Lopa.

His mind raced, wondering if his grandfather was from the Luo Ba Continent. But then he thought, no, his grandfather wasn't golden-headed! He looked just like someone from the Yu Zhou Continent! Could it be that his grandfather had been to the Luo Ba Continent? He had to hurry back and ask his grandfather!

“Indeed, it’s amazing even to us.” Henry shrugged, his face full of confusion. Then his eyes lit up. “Perhaps it’s a gift from God to our family.”

He was truly proud of this, for it was precisely because of their family's talent that their king had bestowed upon them the title of marquis.

He paused for a moment, then added, “When we landed on your Yuzhou mainland this time, we couldn’t understand the locals’ language at all. Fortunately, the fishermen on the shore were very hospitable, and they communicated with us using gestures. By the third day, I had learned some simple words, such as ‘rice’, ‘eat’, and ‘hello’. After two more days, I was gradually able to communicate with them.”

Han Fengli frowned, an incredulous look in his eyes. "Is it really that amazing?"

Chu Chenjing didn't find it strange, because his little princess came from a world thousands of years in the future and had a magical space, so he was already used to it.

Henry continued, “The language of your Western Chu Kingdom is basically the same as that of the Yue Rong Kingdom. Although I don’t speak it fluently now, I can express myself clearly. But unfortunately, although I can speak it, I don’t recognize many of the characters in your Western Chu Kingdom.”

That's understandable, since he didn't know what he had said about the goods in the shop before.

“Oh! That’s really amazing.” Ouyang Yunyao smiled upon hearing this, and then said to Henry, “Mr. Henry, now that you have come to my Western Chu Kingdom and are willing to trade with us, you should learn the writing system of my Western Chu Kingdom in the meantime.”

"What Princess Jing said is absolutely right!" Henry nodded quickly in agreement, his attitude very respectful. He was still thinking of asking Princess Jing for advice.

At this moment, Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing exchanged a glance. The gentle smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold glint in her eyes. She changed the subject, saying, "However, there is something I need to ask. Back then, you were pointing muskets at our people on the streets of my capital. How do you explain that?"

Henry's expression changed drastically upon hearing this; he was completely stunned. He was secretly alarmed. The Princess Consort of Jing… actually knew about muskets? Then… did the Western Chu Kingdom also possess muskets?

Henry spoke in the Western Chu language, and he quickly translated Ouyang Yunyao's words to Jolief and the others.

Upon hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the blond men instantly froze. Joliv hurriedly explained, "Your Highness Prince Jing, Princess Jing, this is truly a misunderstanding. We are simply used to carrying our weapons on the road. On the Yuzhou Continent, we have never fired a single shot, nor have we injured a single person!"

This time, Henry quickly translated Prince Joliv's words to Chu Chenjing and the others before Ouyang Yunyao could.

Chu Chenjing's gaze was sharp as a knife as he swept it over the blond men: "In that case, I will believe you for now. But if I find that your people have harmed my people in the future, I will not let them off lightly!"

Ouyang Yunyao translated Chu Chenjing's words simultaneously.

Jolie quickly assured them, "Your Highness Prince Jing, rest assured, such a thing could never happen to us!"

"As long as that doesn't happen, we're friends," Chu Chenjing said, his tone softening slightly.

“Your Highness Prince Jing! You are right, we are friends forever! We would never do anything to betray the Western Chu Kingdom!” Joliv said repeatedly.

He suddenly stopped speaking, his expression hesitant, as if he was ashamed to speak. After a moment of silence, he looked at Chu Chenjing and said, "Your Highness, actually... I have another matter I would like to ask for your help with."

Chu Chenjing raised an eyebrow and gestured, "Speak freely."
