Huangquan City?
When Wuyue first heard the news about Ye Lingyue, she was overjoyed.
Sitting nearby, Di Shen, who had been like a statue for two days, suddenly opened his eyes.
But then both of them ca to their senses. Huangquan City?
Why would she go to Huangquan City? Isn’t that the newbie city Mu Bai ntioned earlier, where the death rate is the highest and the environnt the harshest for newcors?
"What does ’appearance difference’ an?"
With a swoosh, Di Shen stood up and strode towards Zhang Quan.
Zhang Quan, seeing Di Shen, was sowhat cautious. Although Di Shen’s cultivation might not be as high as his own, Zhang Quan always felt an oppressive aura from him—sothing about this young man exuded an inexplicable montum.
It seed like a brilliance honed from slaughter and countless bloodfields, like the sharp edge of a treasure sword.
"It just ans she’s not the person you described. The portrait Miss Wuyue provided looks like this, but the one in Huangquan City is said to be quite ordinary-looking."
Zhang Quan held a portrait drawn by Wuyue of Ye Lingyue. That portrait was of an absolutely breathtaking beauty, but the information Zhang Quan received described Ye Lingyue as dark and plain-looking, like a lump of coal. Of course, he wouldn’t dare say that in front of Di Shen, lest the love-crazed demon in him get furious and fight him.
"I’m going to Huangquan City."
Di Shen didn’t ask any further questions. He took a long step forward, about to leave.
Regardless of whether or not the woman in Huangquan City was his wife, he had to find out for himself.
"Hey, young man, you can’t just act recklessly. Once you’re registered in one of the nine newbie cities, you can’t switch unless you pass the newbie assessnt. Otherwise, you can’t leave Wuling City, and Huangquan City wouldn’t take you in. You’ll beco a refugee in the Ancient Nine Provinces and be hunted by the Jiu Provinces Alliance."
Zhang Quan was anxious.
But Di Shen, whom even the Wuling City Lord couldn’t stop, certainly wouldn’t be stopped by soone like Zhang Quan.
"Di Shen, if you take one more step, I’ll order your arrest imdiately. Don’t think just because the City Lord let you off once, you can repeatedly challenge the authority of Wuling City."
Zhang Quan, driven to anger, gave a command, and imdiately the gates of Wuling City closed. On the city wall, a large number of guards pulled their bows and aid at Di Shen.
But at that mont, Di Shen paused his foot.
Zhang Quan was delighted, thinking that Di Shen was scared of him.
However, Di Shen urgently reached into his bosom, and the usual expressionless face had a slight break.
Almost anxiously, he pulled out a token.
It was a jade token, and at that mont, it was emitting a warm light.
A soft and slightly impish voice ca from the token.
"Di Shen, it’s Ling Yue. Have you reached Wuling City? I’m sorry, I had a bit of an accident and just managed to contact you. You’re not mad, are you?"
"Wife!"
Di Shen’s gaze changed in an instant, a doting smile surfaced on his perpetually icy face, enough to lt an ice mountain.
The speed of his facial change was so fast that Zhang Quan and the guards were left utterly gobsmacked.
Only Wuyue seed relieved upon hearing the voice from the Phoenix Token.
She knew that only Ye Lingyue in this world could make Di Shen act like his normal self again.
"It’s ! Why are you shouting so loud? Trying to scare to death or what," Ye Lingyue said, relieved that the Phoenix Token worked, though Di Shen’s voice seed oddly strange.
"Wife, are you in Huangquan City? I’ll co to you right away."
Hearing Ye Lingyue’s voice, Di Shen felt a weight lift from his shoulders—at least she was safe.
"I am in Huangquan City. Why would you co here? You’re not allowed. Stay put in Wuling City and cultivate. I’m telling you, the air in Huangquan City is terrible, the food is awful, prices are exorbitant, and the worst part is that newbie training is self-paid. But don’t worry, your wife here has already found a newbie task that includes room and board. Just take care of yourself, I will complete the assessnt and reunite with you." Ye Lingyue said in a commanding tone, strongly opposing Di Shen coming to Huangquan City.
Kidding, if Di Shen ca to a place like Huangquan City and found out her stuff was stolen, he’d tear the Heroic Society apart.
It’s foolish not to take advantage of the free food and lodging in Wuling City.
Hearing this, Di Shen felt both amused and frustrated.
Suddenly, there was a chuckle nearby; soone couldn’t help but laugh.
The guards and Zhang Quan were all ears, eavesdropping on the "intimate" talk between him and his wife.
Di Shen turned to see and was furious.
His wife’s words, whether scolding or not, were only for him, how could they be overheard by others?
"Fourth Sister, where is the newbie dormitory located? I’ve decided not to go to Huangquan City."
Just listening to his wife’s voice, Di Shen knew that if he dared to go to Huangquan City, she might get angry and ignore him.
Since he had confird his wife’s safety and could use the Phoenix Token to contact her and listen to her complaints, Di Shen felt as if she was right beside him.
He imdiately changed his mind and decided to stay in Wuling City.
And so, under the stunned gazes of the guards and Zhang Quan, Di Shen went straight to the newbie dormitory.
"In the end, the most impressive one is still that Ye Lingyue. She managed to scold that stubborn mule Di Shen into staying put."
Zhang Quan couldn’t help but beco more curious about Di Shen’s wife.
However, thinking about it, how could a girl without the Power of Reincarnation pass the newbie assessnt in Huangquan City?
Huangquan City is already not what it used to be.
Zhang Quan shook his head. Matters in other newbie cities weren’t his concern, but he needed to quickly inform the Wuling City Lord that Di Shen decided to stay.
After all, the Wuling City Lord held Di Shen in high esteem, and it was said that he even wanted Di Shen to participate in this month’s newbie project.
Zhang Quan stopped pondering and quickly headed towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
Ye Lingyue and Di Shen hadn’t seen each other for two days, which really felt like forever. Most of the ti, it was Ye Lingyue talking and Di Shen listening.
After so unknown period, Ye Lingyue’s voice grew softer and eventually transford into steady breathing.
Di Shen couldn’t bear to take the Phoenix Token away.
He carefully placed the Phoenix Token next to his pillow, listening to his wife’s breathing, feeling as if those days when she was right beside him had returned, filling the void in his heart completely.
He spoke to the Phoenix Token, trying to sound casual but couldn’t quite hide his affection.
"Wife, goodnight."
After saying that, Di Shen finally closed his eyes with satisfaction, a gentle smile lingering at his lips.
In Huangquan City, isolated from most of the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent, sleeping Ye Lingyue seed to hear those words, and her mouth curled up into a sweet smile.
