C177 Fuxi City
In the center of a magnificent and domineering hall in the west wing of the Holy Dragon Empire's imperial capital, where the Yin Yang Good Fortune Dragon Guards were stationed, Mingxuan was clad in a dark gold dragon robe, his burly body sitting upright on a large golden chair in the center of the hall. In his hand was a black rhombus-shaped crystal, which projected rays of light onto the body of a twelve year old girl, who was currently conversing with Mingxuan through a special communication tool.
"Ran'er, this is no small matter. Don't speak carelessly of it." Mingxuan's voice was calm and his tone was overbearing.
"Father, Ran'er was not wrong, it is indeed the Reincarnation War Tiger. However, this Reincarnation War Tiger is not as tyrannical as the rumors say, able to fight against His Highness, but it is very weak. It hasn't even reached the level of Manifestation." This young girl seemed to be very clear about what was happening. She was reporting what had happened to her father, Ming Xuan.
"Ran Er, I understand. You don't need to interfere in this matter anymore. Pay more attention when you are outside. It doesn't seem like you are in the clan. If you encounter danger that you cannot escape from, don't forget to use the Void Shattering Charm! " Mingxuan said.
"Aiya. Got it, got it. Father, I will pay attention to what you have to say whenever I talk to you. Goodbye, Father! " Finished speaking, the light dissipated and the girl's figure disappeared, leaving only Ming Xuan in the hall.
Mingxuan looked at the black crystal in his hand with a serious expression. He muttered, "Could it be that this Reincarnation War Tiger with a very weak cultivation is the little tiger that mysteriously disappeared from the Reincarnation War Tiger lineage a few years ago? "Yes, I have to tell Dishi Tian about this."
At the same time, outside of Fuxi Ancient City's city gates, a long line of people were waiting to enter the city. Han Bing and Sun Youwei were also among the crowd.
"Oh my god, it's so hard to enter a city, can't you open all the big doors? You have to enter the city one by one just to open the doors, is there something wrong with that?" Sun Youwei said impatiently.
"Who knows? There might be some big event in the city. This is just to increase our guard." Han Bing said.
"Seriously, your dragon clan loves to mess with these complex things. This will delay me for a long time." Sun Youcai pointed his spearhead at Han Bing.
"What does this have to do with my Dragon clan? Although the City Lord's Mansion is under the jurisdiction of the Dragon clan, it still depends on them. Moreover, these things are originally for the safety of the city, so you should take responsibility." Han Bing said somewhat helplessly.
"Next, hurry up. Can't you see that there are so many people here? Come over here quickly." At this time, a soldier shouted at Sun Youcai.
"Ahh, my violent temper! You dare to be this rude to me? Watch me give you a good lesson!" As he spoke … Sun Youcai raised his fist and was about to attack the soldiers that were guarding the city.
Han Bing quickly stopped him and said to the city guards, "Uncle, I'm sorry." This friend of mine is a bit abnormal, please do not take offense to it. " As Han Bing said this, he pointed at his head. This was obviously saying that Sun Youcai was crazy.
"You," Sun Youwei was about to say something, but he noticed Han Bing gently shook his head, signalling him not to act rashly, so he calmed down.
The city guard looked at him for a long time before saying, "I think so too. How could a normal person dare to behave atrociously here? You must be his friend. This kind of person is not only locked up at home, but also released to cause trouble. If it was anyone else, he would definitely be beaten up. "
"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you guys anymore. Only by paying ten Spirit Stones each can we enter the city." The city guard said.
Han Bing casually threw the twenty spirit stones into the hands of the city guards.
"Can we go?" Han Bing said.
"This, you can go." "Next." The city guard was shocked for a moment. He thought Han Bing would bargain, but he didn't expect him to agree so readily. This made him suspect that Sun Youwei was not the only one who was crazy, even Han Bing was.
After entering the city, Sun Youwei couldn't help but ask, "Why is that little pawn so arrogant not allowing me to teach him a lesson? Furthermore, entering the city previously didn't require a single spirit stone, but today it suddenly turned into ten spirit stones before being able to enter the city.
"Shh ~" Han Bing made a silent gesture, "There's an expert watching us from the city tower. It's best if we don't cause any trouble. Moreover, from the looks of the city, it seems that something big is about to happen, so the fee is reasonable." As Han Bing said this, he continued to look around.
"Oh, I got it, this month should be Fuxi Ancient City's once-a-decade lantern festival. The lantern festival will continue for a month, and during this month, there will be all kinds of activities held, and all sorts of heroes from the martial arts world will gather at Fuxi Ancient City, and have some exchanges of items, combat spars, and the like. At night, all kinds of lanterns will be lit, and some scoundrels will be watching the moon and reciting poems under the lanterns, making it especially lively. " Sun Youwei explained.
"So that's how it is. Our imperial capital, where the dragon race is located, also has its own Flower Lantern Association. However, I'm not very involved with them, so I don't really understand some things." Han Bing's words revealed a hint of desolation.
"It's fine, we don't need to understand this. Let's find an inn first, there are a lot of people these days, if we don't find an inn soon, we'll have to sleep on the streets." As Sun Youwei spoke, he arrived at a beautiful inn and rushed in.
"Shopkeeper, two rooms, quick!" Sun Youwei said in a flustered manner.
A plump middle-aged man walked over and said, "Aiya, little brother, I'm really sorry. Our rooms are full of guests. I'm truly sorry!"
"Ah?" If it's that fast, then what room is there? " Sun Youwei continued to ask.
"I'm so sorry. Our inn is full of guests. Why don't you go take a look at another inn?" The fat boss said.
"Sigh, what bad luck. Forget it, we won't be staying any longer. Bring all the delicious food here to this daddy. This daddy will eat his fill before heading to the other inns." Sun Youwei sat down on a bench and said.
"Okay, are you one or two?" The fat boss asked as he noticed Han Bing following behind Sun Youwei.
"You three!" Sun Youwei casually replied.
"Could it be that there's another guest?" The fat boss was a bit confused. There were only two people here, how could he say three?
"That's none of your business. Hurry up and bring the items over!" Sun Youwei impatiently urged.
"Oh, oh, oh. Right away." Soon, the entire table was filled with all kinds of food. Each food was delicious, with everything from flying in the sky to running on the ground to swimming in the water. Everything was there, everything was there.
Han Bing carried Zhan Yun out and placed him on the table, but Zhan Yun still remained silent. He silently stood on the table, his mood somewhat downcast.
"I wonder what happened to Zhan Yun. Ever since we saw the Black Wind Monster, he has become like this. Nothing will happen to him, right?" Han Bing said worriedly.
"Han Bing, don't worry, Zhan Yun might be homesick, there's nothing else." Sun Youcai mumbled indistinctly while holding a chicken leg in his mouth.
"It can't be. How long has it been away from West East City? How could it miss home?" Han Bing said.
"Are you stupid? When I said 'homesick', were you referring to that Demon Black Mountain? Don't you want to know where Zhan Yun came from, and where his real home is? " Sun Youwei asked.
"I don't know, do you?" Han Bing asked back.
"Of course I know it." Just as Sun Youwei was about to speak, he realized Zhan Yun was staring at him with a glare. Zhan Yun immediately shut his mouth in fright, not saying another word.
"What's wrong? Tell me! Where did Zhan Yun come from, and where is his home?" Han Bing asked.
Helpless, Sun Youcai chuckled and spread out his arms, showing an expression that even I don't know. Han Bing couldn't help but slap him on the head with such force that Sun Youcai directly fell on the table and broke it from the middle.
"You're f * cking blabbering about it even though you don't know? I thought you knew about Zhan Yun's origins, but right now, I'm really anxious right now. Please don't talk nonsense like that to me, okay?" There was impatience in Han Bing's tone. He was very worried about Zhan Yun right now, but Sun Youdao insisted on saying something useless, which made Han Bing angry.
"I-Sigh, who did I offend?" Sun Youcai looked at the ground littered with food and broken plates, feeling pity in his heart.
Zhan Yun jumped down from the table. Seeing the angry Han Bing and the aggrieved Sun Youwei on the ground, he immediately walked to Han Bing's side, using his little claws to scratch the bottom of Han Bing's pants. Looking at Han Bing, he revealed an expression of extreme danger, as if to say, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Han Bing picked Zhan Yun up and said lovingly, "Zhan Yun, what's wrong with you? You didn't even agree when I talked to you. I thought something happened to you."
"Wuu ~ ~" Zhan Yun let out a cute sound, rolling around in Han Bing's arms. He kept acting cute, looking like he was back to normal.
"Haha, Zhan Yun, it's good that you're fine. Don't be like this in the future, I'll be worried." Han Bing said.
After Zhan Yun heard Han Bing's words, he stopped rolling around, and immediately resumed his serious look in Han Bing's eyes, nodding his head. But no matter how he looked at it, his actions were comical, and no matter how you looked at it, it was cute. Zhan Yun then extended his small claw and pointed at Sun Youwei, his meaning self-evident.
"Cough cough. Brother Sun, are you alright? I was a bit too excited just now. I'm sorry." Han Bing said.
Hearing this, Sun Youcai did not continue to lie down. He slowly stood up and pointed at the food on the ground with a regretful expression.
"Got it. It's just a meal. It's just a casual meal. Today, I'm treating you to a meal." Han Bing said. However, at this time, three white-robed, longsword wielding young men entered the inn, attracting Han Bing and the others' attention.
