Capítulo 2157: Chapter 2156: Sikong Qing’s Illness, Blazing Fire River
It seems Sikong Qing was afraid Xu Zii didn’t understand, so he explained again: “The Baori River is the largest tributary of the Blazing Fla River.”
“There is only one river within our Blazing Fla Realm, and that is the Blazing Fla River.”
“The Blazing Fla River flows across the entire land of the Blazing Fla Realm, from which tributaries erge, and those tributaries divide into other tributaries.”
“Only in this way did the countless Changhe Rivers of the Blazing Fla Realm co into existence.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Zii understood.
The source of all the rivers was actually the Blazing Fla River, but where is the source of the Blazing Fla River?
Sikong Qing did not know.
Steward Zhou explained, “So say the source of the Blazing Fla River is in the Heavenly Fla Temple, where the Candle Dragon Lord resides.”
“Interesting, quite interesting,” Xu Zii remarked with a smile.
Different from the Mortal Domain.
Though the Brahma Demon Great Emperor is the strongest in the Mortal Domain, her control over it is not strong.
However, the Candle Dragon’s control over the Blazing Fla Realm is terrifying.
“Are you interested in the Yang River, my friend?” Steward Zhou asked, staring at Xu Zii.
Xu Zii chuckled.
He said, “The river itself is nothing special, but the power of the fla is quite impressive to .”
“Let’s go,” Xu Zii clapped his hands and stood up.
“I haven’t asked for your na, young master,” Steward Zhou inquired at this mont.
In fact, he had indeed forgotten to ask earlier, as Xu Zii’s appearance caught him off guard.
The young lady had always lived in River Sun City; where did she et such a friend from outside?
He was sowhat skeptical internally.
But regardless, neither of them refuted.
This made Steward Zhou cautious.
“I am Xu Zii,” Xu Zii replied.
“Humans are rarely seen in the Blazing Fla Realm. As far as I know, there are only two major human gathering spots here.”
“One is Peacock Island, the other is Myriad Holy Tower. May I know where Young Master Xu cos from?”
Steward Zhou smiled.
He had already started probing into Xu Zii’s background.
Xu Zii didn’t elaborate much, but simply replied, “I belong nowhere in particular, considering the world as my canopy and the four seas as my ho. I’ll go wherever the journey takes .”
“Young Master Xu is quite carefree,” having learned about Xu Zii’s identity as a Loose Cultivator, Steward Zhou did not inquire further.
At this point, Xu Zii got into the sedan, and the procession set off again.
Actually, the City Lord Mansion was sowhat distant from the previous inn; one was located in the east, and the other in the west.
This was a deliberate move by Sikong Qing, who feared being caught, and purposely sought refuge in the opposite direction.
But eventually, she was found.
An hour later, the sedan slowly ca to a halt.
Xu Zii stepped out of the sedan, having arrived at the City Lord Mansion.
The decoration of the City Lord Mansion was grand and magnificent.
Located at the core of this street, the exterior walls were covered with red bricks and green tiles, and there were beautiful rows of birch trees planted in front.
The front gate was vermilion red, flanked by two Fire Lions on either side.
These were not stone-carved lions, but real Fire Lions.
They squatted motionlessly on the ground, yet their fierce gaze suggested they might pounce at any mont.
……
Today, the City Lord Mansion was bustling with activity, decorated with lanterns and festoons.
In front of the City Lord Mansion stood a giant stage.
Originally, this entire street was spacious and flat, but now it was clogged with gathered crowds, leaving no room for passage.
It was apparent that people were enthusiastic about the City Lord’s recruitnt of a son-in-law, eager to snatch a bargain.
Luckily, Steward Zhou was from the City Lord Mansion, and others would automatically make way for him.
Otherwise, trying to squeeze through would be nearly impossible.
After entering the City Lord Mansion, Steward Zhou spoke to Xu Zii and Sikong Qing, “Miss, follow .”
“As for Young Master Xu, I’ll have soone take you to a place to rest. The City Lord will summon you.”
Sikong Qing glanced worriedly at Xu Zii.
But at this mont, no amount of worry would solve anything.
She followed Steward Zhou inside, while an attendant specifically invited Xu Zii.
The attendant led Xu Zii to a guest room and then left.
With no task at hand, Xu Zii lay down in the guest room and fell asleep.
……
With a “bang,” a teacup on the table was smashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.
“Father, don’t be mad. I was wrong,” Sikong Qing said grievance.
Sikong Lian was furious.
“What do you take this ho for, an inn?” he said.
“Leaving whenever you please, without a word.”
“I’ve announced the recruitnt of a son-in-law to the whole town. How do you expect to keep face?”
“Didn’t I co back?” Sikong Qing retorted weakly, pouting.
“You returned, but not before playing enough outside, and brought back a wild man,” Sikong Lian said with agitated humor.
“Am I even in your eyes, as your father?”
“He’s not a wild man,” Sikong Qing retorted.
“Anyway, I have to get married. Who doesn’t matter?”
“Do you know why I’m anxious to find you a husband?” Sikong Lian sighed.
He sat down on a nearby chair.
He spoke earnestly, “So matters aren’t as simple as you think.”
“You should be aware of your illness.”
Just as he finished speaking, Sikong Qing’s face suddenly turned pale, and she collapsed directly to the ground.
Sikong Lian tried to support her, but the cold air emanating from Sikong Qing imdiately froze his hands together.
Fortunately, Sikong Lian was powerful and prepared.
He directly shattered the ice from his arms.
He quickly carried Sikong Qing to a room.
This room was quite interesting because it was specially arranged.
Inside was a bed.
Underneath this bed was the Yang River.
The inside was irrigated with the Yang River, forming a pool.
Sikong Lian carefully placed Sikong Qing on the bed, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
The fla from the Yang River began to lt the ice on her body, slowly but effectively.
Steward Zhou, who had been following closely, let out a sigh.
“The Yang River’s effect is diminishing, we must act promptly,” he said.
Sikong Lian exited the room and remained silent for a while.
Finally, he said, “You’ve t him. What do you think?”
“He’s hard to see through,” Steward Zhou thought for a mont before replying.
“What do you an?” Sikong Lian expressed interest and asked.
“He’s too calm. Even after knowing my identity, he showed no amazent,” Steward Zhou said.
“And there is an unusually serene aura about him, as if the world ans nothing to him.”
“I can’t describe it. If you are interested, City Lord, you may see for yourself.”
“Then let’s et him,” Sikong Lian said with a smile.
“It’s rare for you to describe soone like this.”
“After all, to be my son-in-law, one must prove worthy.”
The two of them walked to the courtyard where Xu Zii resided.
Actually, there were guards at the entrance of the courtyard all the ti.
Upon seeing them approach, the guard quickly saluted.
