What exactly should I do?
Xiang Luan watched Haiyang, who was elegantly performing, as she struggled violently in her heart.
After a long time, when the “Cultivation Source Calm Mind Song” had been played several times, in the tranquility of the music, Xiang Luan’s heart gradually regained its calm, and she finally made a decision.
Ye Yinzhu’s physical strength recovered rapidly.
With the Divine Source Magic Robe, his recovery speed was extraordinarily astonishing.
When he joined in on the performance, the Sub-God rank “Cultivation Source Calm Mind Song” exhibited unparalleled power.
Even the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry, who had exhausted all their strength and whose minds nearly collapsed due to the influence of killing intent, calmed down pletely in this wonderful melody and began to recover swiftly.
Time passed quickly, and as the red sun was gradually replaced by a silver disk-like bright moon, Qin City had turned into a new lively scene.
The original central area of Qin City was as if it had never existed; all the destroyed buildings had vanished, and the uneven ground had also bee smooth.
On this vast plain of a basin, heaps of firewood prepared earlier were stacked into bonfire platforms ten meters high at every hundred meters.
A large amount of food and fine wine was continuously transported out from inside the Burna Mountain Range.
It had to be admitted that the technology of the Goblin Tribe was indeed useful.
With the help of the Goblin Rippers, work that would have required countless manpower became much easier.
Anya personally presided over and directed the busy Qin City Army.
Leveling the ground, piling up thousands of bonfires—such a massive task was carried out under her mand, with two hundred thousand young men and women from various Qin City legions busy for an entire day.
Many hands make light work.
The task which seemed impossible was now nearing its end, and the last few bonfires had also been pleted.
At the same time, a platform with hundreds of square meters and approximately ten meters in height was erected in the center of all the bonfire stands to serve as the stage for the main event.
Tonight was going to be the first collective celebration in Qin City since the beginning of its construction.
It was going to be an exciting night, a night not divided by race, belonging solely to Qin City.
Wei Ming stopped beside Anya, “Miss Anya, you’ve worked hard.”
Anya said with a wry smile, “Destruction is always easier than construction.
I’m more tired today than when I was fighting with the Dragon Clan.
Elder, have the statistics been piled yet?”
The look on Wei Ming’s face was the plete opposite of Anya’s exhaustion; he was beaming with joy, “Yes, everything has been piled.
Take a look.” While speaking, he handed a piece of paper to Anya.
Anya casually took it, and as her gaze swept over the first few lines, her eyes became glued to the paper, and gradually, the weariness on her face dissipated, “So many?
There’s actually so much?
This…”
Wei Ming laughed softly, “Even I didn’t expect it.
However, we achieved such good results largely because of the new Silver Dragon who was won over by His Excellency, the Zither Emperor.
Thanks to her persuasion, the oute was so wonderful, and it saved us a great deal of effort.
His Excellency, the Zither Emperor was right—the Dragon Clan’s visit this time indeed brought a huge gift.”
Anya smiled slightly, “Elder, why do you also call Yin Zhu the Zither Emperor instead of the Regent now?”
Wei Ming sighed softly, “We have already e to a realization.
Since the Zither Emperor used the Six Paths of Reincarnation to repel the Milan Army, it was clear that Qin City could no longer belong solely to the Eastern Dragon.
Frankly speaking, I have lived for over a hundred years, but the days before I came to Qin City were never as joyful as these few years here.
Every day I see Qin City developing and growing rapidly, and all of this is the result of everyone’s joint efforts.
Our previous mindset was really too conservative, so I consulted with the other Elders and the Sect Master, and we have decided on an important matter.”
Anya looked at Wei Ming with some surprise.
When she first met this Elder, she thought Wei Ming was an old stick-in-the-mud, even somewhat stubborn, but as they interacted more, she increasingly realized how strong the foundation of the Eastern Dragon was.
Not to mention the cultural remnants and Dong Long Martial Skills left behind by the Eastern Dragon, which were unmatched by any other race in Qin City.
Even with the Elves’ Druid support, Anya was certain that if a conflict occurred, the Eastern Dragon would surely win.
Anya was extremely intelligent, and Supreme Elder Wei Ming’s words had already hinted at his intentions—it was clear that this Supreme Elder intended to make some contributions to the great integration of Qin City.
“Thank you, Elder.
I am happy about your decision.
I think Yin Zhu would also be glad to see this happening.”
Wei Ming smiled, “I should be the one saying thank you.
Miss Anya and His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, have taught me many things I had never considered before.
Later, when the bonfires are blazing, I will officially announce this news.
Miss Anya, you should rest for a while; I’ll take care of the remaining work.”
The moon shone particularly bright tonight, its silvery disc suspended in the night sky, surrounded by countless pearl-like stars.
Even without the bonfires lit in the center of Qin City’s plaza, there was not a hint of darkness.
Silver light sprinkled down, casting a layer of pure moonlight on everyone.
The plaza was quiet and spacious.
Qin City’s Four Infantry Corps: Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum protected the outermost circle of the square.
Of course, in front of them, there were also stacks of unlit bonfire stands.
It wasn’t long before, from the mountains in the distance, serpentine fire dragons converged on Qin City’s Central Plaza as if embracing all streams and rivers.
Escorted by the crowd, Ye Yinzhu and his two new wives made their way to the podium along with Anya, Supreme Elder Wei Ming, and the far-traveled Nina and Xiang Luan, both princesses of Milan.
Wei Ming nodded at Ye Yinzhu, who wore a proud smile on his face.
He opened his arms and called out loudly, “Let us wele all the people of Qin City attending this bonfire evening with the most dazzling flames.
Light the fires.”
Boom—At each bonfire, a Qin City warrior stood ready.
At Ye Yinzhu’s mand, thousands of huge bonfires were ignited almost simultaneously.
Flames soared into the sky, reaching tens of meters high, and the tremendous bonfires seemed to light up the entire Qin City.
Four bonfires beside the podium illuminated the entire stand with exceptional brightness.
Under the fiery red glow, the faces of Ye Yinzhu and the others on the podium were tinged with a layer of golden-red.
Countless winding fire dragons entered Qin City’s Central Plaza as the bonfires were lit.
Led by designated personnel, they filed into the square orderly.
Though most people were still on their way, the sight of the vast fires rising invoked countless cheers echoing through the Burna Mountain Range.
The first to enter the center of Qin City square were not the warriors of any tribe in the city.
These people were distinguished only by age, regardless of race or origin.
They were the oldest and youngest residents of Qin City.
Each elder led a child by the hand, with almost no two adjacent people of the same race.
Elders and children of all races became the first to enter the square.
Though the elder and the children contribute the least to the construction of Qin City, they were the first to enter the square and received the most respect at this inaugural bonfire celebration of Qin City.
This was decided by Anya and Wei Ming after consultation and then approved by Ye Yinzhu.
When Ye Yinzhu heard their idea, he agreed without hesitation.
While elders and children cannot contribute directly to the city’s construction, they are also members of Qin City.
Moreover, elders might lack physical strength, but their experience in all aspects far surpasses that of the younger generation.
And the children are Qin City’s future.
They are just as much the core of Qin City.
Especially since these people did not differentiate between races, when Ye Yinzhu stood on the podium feeling the wonderful integration of all races through Unity of Heaven and Man, his heart grew incredibly warm.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, the elders and children sat around the bonfire closest to the podium.
They cheered constantly, and even their aged voices brimmed with intense excitement.
In any country, the status of a warrior is much higher than that of a civilian, especially the main bat forces, who hold even more sway than lower nobles in the city.
Yet, in Qin City, all this was reversed.
Qin City’s Main Infantry Corps—Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, totaling sixty thousand people—became the servers for this celebration.
When Supreme Elder Wei Ming issued this order in the afternoon, some soldiers were indifferent, but Wei Ming only needed to speak one sentence to make those who were indifferent feel ashamed.
Elder Wei Ming told them that the essence of a city is not its soldiers, nor its rulers, but its people.
“You’re not serving strangers,” he said, “you’re serving your own parents.
Without them, where would you be?”
At this moment, these soldiers were indeed serving their parents, each one even more spirited than in their usual training.
Delicacies and fine wines were brought to the elders and children by the soldiers.
Whole roasted sheep and cattle, various fruits, and tasty dishes—one part homegrown in Qin City and another imported from the Milan Empire.
One thing was sure, the diet of the citizens of Qin City unquestionably ranked as the best on the continent, perhaps even surpassing that of Faran’s Paladin Division.

It’s looking a bit bleak here now.
