At midnight, when Shi Ling and Yun Zhiqian were tired of playing, the two of them would lie on a rock at the same time, looking at the sky full of stars. Shi Ling had his hands behind his head and a sleepy look on his face, but Yun Zhiqian just looked at the shooting stars in the sky.

Hearing this, Shi Ling remained silent. Of course, there was also that yearning in his eyes, but was it really possible? Shi Ling shook his head and let out a long sigh.

At this moment, Yun Zhiqian turned her head to look at Shi Ling and said, "Shi Ling, would you be angry with me?"

Shi Ling was a bit confused by her question. He immediately revealed a puzzled face and asked, "Why should I be angry at you?"

Yun Zhiqian pursed her lips. She didn't know if Shi Ling was playing dumb, or if he really didn't remember. She immediately said with a flushed face, "When you confessed to me, I rejected your offer in public."

Shi Ling went silent when he heard this. It was a lie to say that he wasn't angry, after all, no matter who it was that confessed to the person he liked, they wouldn't feel good about it.

Shi Ling tilted his head and looked at Yun Zhiqian with a smile, "Do you think I'm that petty of a person?"

Yun Zhiqian pursed her lips and chuckled. At this time, Shi Ling looked up at the stars again and said, "Besides, it's been so long. Why should I be angry about it?"

At this time, Yun Zhiqian no longer said anything and Shi Ling no longer said anything. The two of them laid down together and watched the moonlight shining down on their bodies.

That night, the two of them did not mention anything related to the cultivation world, nor did they mention Spirit Sword Sect. Or rather, they just sat there in the moonlight, taking time to forget about their worries and not think about it anymore.

The next morning.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Yun Zhiqian slept in the middle of the room. Shi Ling sat on the balcony railing alone, looking at the decorations of the City Lord's Mansion, compared to his own small cave, there was really no comparison at all. Shi Ling shook his head with a bitter smile.

At this moment, Yun Zhiqian, who wore a goose-yellow dress, walked out of the room with light steps. She then walked to Shi Ling's side. Shi Ling, who was sitting on the spot, instantly smelled the refreshing fragrance of a woman's body.

Shi Ling took a long breath, then looked back at Yun Zhiqian and said with a smile, "You take so long to take a bath. Do you know that I'm almost losing my patience?"

Yun Zhiqian giggled and covered her red lips with her hand. Then, she poked Shi Ling on the head with one of her fingers and said, "What? You have an objection?"

Shi Ling immediately jumped down from the balcony railing. He shrugged and said, "How could I dare to be angry at you?"

When Yun Zhiqian saw Shi Ling's face that looked like he deserved a beating, she immediately smiled. She raised her foot and kicked Shi Ling's calf, saying, "Do you believe that I won't beat you up?"

After being kicked by Yun Zhiqian, Shi Ling staggered and almost fell down, making Yun Zhiqian giggle again. Her laughter was like silver bells, clear and melodious, but Shi Ling rubbed one of his hands on his lower leg and muttered, "What a tigress."

Yun Zhiqian's beautiful eyes widened when she heard that. She immediately pinched one of Shi Ling's ears and said, "Who are you talking about?"

It hurts.

Only then did Yun Zhiqian let go of Shi Ling's hand and said jokingly: "Alright, let's go out and eat."

Shi Ling rubbed his ears with one hand and nodded, then walked out of the City Lord's Mansion together with Yun Zhiqian. The two of them walked on the busy street, looking at the crowd of people shouting and hawking along the roadside, and also having all kinds of snacks.

Originally, Yun Zhiqian could have asked the chefs in the City Lord's Mansion to cook directly, but this woman said that she didn't want to eat those delicacies, so she wanted to taste these snacks on the Yi Xiao City street. Previously, she was worried about her identity and face, so she didn't come out to taste them, but after being with Shi Ling, she stopped worrying about that.

Of course, Yun Zhiqian's appearance also attracted many people's attention. Although Yun Zhiqian was the City Lord of Yi Xiao City, not many people here had actually seen their Lord Mayor. Thus, when they saw Yun Zhiqian, this peerless beauty, they couldn't help but take a glance at her. Even women couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

At the same time, Shi Ling could feel a lot of unfriendly eyes looking at him. Why? Yun Zhiqian was holding his hand right now, so of course they would be annoyed. To them, it seemed that a beauty like Yun Zhiqian and a bumpkin like Shi Ling were walking together.

Shi Ling ignored their gazes, as if a normal person would care about the way a dog looked at them.

At this moment, Yun Zhiqian was like a curious little girl, constantly looking around. Her eyes were filled with curiosity, and Shi Ling teased: "Yi Xiao City is your territory, why do you look like it's your first time here."

Yun Zhiqian snorted and said, "Can't I?"

Shi Ling shook his head and said, "Fine fine fine, you can say whatever you want."

Yun Zhiqian rolled her eyes at Shi Ling in a bad mood and said: "From the time I took over the Yi Xiao City till now, it's only been around a year or so. I spend the majority of the time in the City Lord's Mansion.

When Shi Ling heard this, he gave a long "oh" and said, "No wonder."

However, at this time, Yun Zhiqian's small nose confessed. Her eyes revealed a trace of surprise as she said, "It smells so good."

As she said that, she looked towards the source of the fragrance. It was a dumpling restaurant. Shi Ling also looked over and said, "You want to eat dumplings?"

Shi Ling immediately walked towards the shop and quickly entered it. Undoubtedly, there were a lot of customers here, so he took a look at the decorations. Although the tables and chairs were a little old, they were still clean and looked pretty good overall. Shi Ling directly pulled Yun Zhiqian to the second floor and sat down.

Shi Ling asked for a few dumplings with different flavors and the waiter said, "Sure, we'll be there shortly. Please wait a moment." He left. At this moment, Shi Ling and Yun Zhiqian were sitting next to the window, so they could see the street outside. Shi Ling turned around and saw a shop across the street.

Seeing that there was actually something that looked very similar to a Message Conch, Shi Ling was curious: "Isn't Yi Xiao City a city of mortals? Why would there be something like the Message Conch that requires magic power to support? "

Yun Zhiqian followed Shi Ling's gaze and looked over. When she saw the Message Conch in the shop, she chuckled and said: "That's not a Message Conch. It's called a recording conch."

Hearing that, Shi Ling said, "Recording conch?" What is that thing? "

The next moment, a light flashed in her hands and a recording conch appeared. Yun Zhiqian passed the conch to Shi Ling and said: "It is different from the Message Conch in our cultivation world. It is made from pure machinery and is a small thing unique to Yi Xiao City. You won't be able to see it anywhere else."

Shi Ling took the item in his hand and began to play with it. It looked similar to the Message Conch, but he could not feel any mana fluctuations. Shi Ling asked: "What is the use of this thing?"

Yun Zhiqian took over the recording conch and twisted it a few times in front of Shi Ling. Soon after, a sound could be heard coming from inside: an instrument, a zither, a flute, a flute. If you listened carefully, you would discover that it was actually a tune made up of many different kinds of musical instruments.

He heard Yun Zhiqian say, "It's mainly used for recording. There is such a recording conch in the homes of some old people. The music inside every recording conch is different, so many people buy it."

When Shi Ling heard this, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. He then took the conch and said: "This thing can record sound?"

Yun Zhiqian nodded and asked again, "What is it? You like it? "

Shi Ling played a little bit, and after figuring out how to play it, he recorded what Yun Zhiqian said just now. When it was played, he heard Yun Zhiqian's voice from the recording conch: "What? You like it? "

Shi Ling was immediately attracted by this little thing. He said, "It's hard to imagine that this thing was crafted by hand. I wonder what kind of person invented this thing?"

Yun Zhiqian rolled her eyes and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of person they are anymore. They've already been dead for decades."

Shi Ling played with the recording conch for a while longer before returning it to Yun Zhiqian, and said: "I'll buy a few more to bring back to Spirit Sword Sect s, and let those guys take a look."

Yun Zhiqian didn't say anything more about it.
