The sun had just risen from the horizon,
In a rather chaotic terrain in the City of Arcane Arts, three icy blue lights flashed, instantly killing two men in black and a red-eyed rat. They were two people from the Dark Holy Cult and the Dark Nether Lamp.
"That's great, Sister Shuang, you can move freely from now on!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao let out a light cry.
"Mhm mhm!"
Shuang nodded like a pecking chick, her eyes a little red.
Yue Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. They had tested it multiple times before and found that people from the Dark Holy Cult could indeed track Shuang if she didn't have the Divine Concealment Talisman. However, once Shuang activated the Divine Concealment Talisman, the other party would be completely clueless... Several times, the Dark Nether Lamp had walked past Shuang's feet without detecting any abnormality...
...
"So sleepy~ I'm going back to sleep~!"
Ye Feng yawned and turned to walk towards Qingxin Yayuan. Xiao Xiao, Yue Yan, and Shuang immediately followed.
...
"Speaking of which, Yue Yan, aren't you curious why I knew about divine patterns so quickly?"
Walking on the road, Ye Feng yawned and turned to ask.
"You have so many secrets, kid... This is just one more... And... if you're willing, you'll tell me~"
Saying that, Yue Yan walked forward first.
...
Ye Feng slept until evening. Xiao Xiao woke up at noon, and Shuang was so excited about the Divine Concealment Talisman that she didn't sleep at all. She was humming a tune and walking around...
...
After dinner, Ye Feng was pulled by Xiao Xiao towards the abandoned urban area on the east side of the City of Arcane Arts, where zombies roamed.
Soon, Ye Feng and his companions arrived at the place where they had first met Shuang.
"Bing, Shuang, Yun Yao, Sister Han... Come light fireworks together..."
Xiao Xiao called out to the four girls, and at the same time, a light flashed in her hand, and the pile of fireworks Ye Feng had given her appeared on the ground.
"Oh, okay!"
"Okay~"
...
"Come, Sister Shuang, light the first firework to commemorate this special day!"
Saying that, Xiao Xiao handed the lit incense to Shuang.
"Okay!"
Shuang nodded and took it.
"Chirp~!"
"Bang!"
With a whistling sound, a burst of colorful fireworks exploded in the night sky.
"Here, Bing... This is for you..."
"Sister Yun Yao... Sister Han..."
"Sister Yue Yan..."
Afterward, Xiao Xiao called Bing, Shen Yun Yao, and Han Qiu Li to play with fireworks, sparklers, and other fireworks. Even Yue Yan was dragged by Xiao Xiao to play...
...
"This... Is she really the City Lord of the City of Arcane Arts..."
Looking at Yue Yan not far away, Ye Feng was speechless, because after the initial awkwardness, Yue Yan played the most wildly... She was like a wild girl, running around with fireworks, chasing and playing with Xiao Xiao and the others...
After Ye Feng also set off a few fireworks, he walked to the side and quietly admired the fireworks in the night sky, occasionally taking a sip of beer beside Shen Potian.
"The fireworks are so beautiful! I haven't seen them for so long... It feels like New Year..."
Shen Potian looked at the colorful and variously shaped fireworks exploding in the night sky, his eyes filled with nostalgia...
"Yeah!~"
A flash of light appeared in Ye Feng's hand, and a box of beer appeared on the ground. He took out a bottle, opened it, and drank it. He also handed a bottle to Shen Potian, as the one in his hand was already empty.
"Senior Shen, I heard you mention before that you are an orphan of Taixing City. How much do you know about Taixing City?"
Ye Feng looked at Shen Potian and asked.
"This..."
Shen Potian frowned slightly, "You want to go to Taixing City?"
"Yeah!"
Ye Feng nodded.
"As for Taixing City... I've told you everything I knew before... If it's the address of Taixing City, I'm afraid I can't help you much now..."
"To be honest, I've been looking for the ruins of Taixing City all these years... but I haven't had any success... And the other seven major powers are also looking for it, but I haven't heard of anyone who found it successfully..."
Shen Potian paused here, "However, I heard that the Sea Restaurant obtained a map of Taixing City, but it hasn't been confirmed..."
"Sea Restaurant... Senior Wu Ye Lan mentioned it before when we were at the Adventurers' Guild..."
"At that time, Senior Wu Ye Lan seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with the other party..."
Hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly recalled.
...
"What are you two doing with such long faces?"
At this moment, Yue Yan, who was a bit thirsty after playing with fireworks for a while, walked over. She got herself a bottle of beer and started drinking.
"Oh, we're worrying about how to get to Taixing City?"
Ye Feng took a sip of beer and replied.
"Taixing City?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Yan was slightly surprised. "You're going to Taixing City next, aren't you going to look for the Lamp of Creation?"
As she spoke, Yue Yan looked at Ye Feng's left wrist.
"Depends~"
To be honest, Ye Feng was also a bit conflicted.
"If you're going to Taixing City, I have a map!"
Yue Yan pondered for a moment and slowly said.
"Map?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng was surprised. "You have a map of Taixing City too?"
"Too? What do you mean?"
Yue Yan was quite puzzled. "Ye Feng, you already have a map?"
"No~"
Ye Feng shook his head. "We heard that the boss of the Sea Restaurant has a map of Taixing City~!"
"Oh, the map of Taixing City I have is the one that sailor guy has!"
Yue Yan chimed in.
"Oh, Sailor is the boss of the Sea Restaurant!"
Yue Yan paused and then said again, "Sailor wanted to explore Taixing City before, but he was targeted by people from the Dark Holy Cult, so he gave me the map of Taixing City and went to an ancient ruin himself to lure them away..."
"I see~"
Ye Feng suddenly understood. He looked at Yue Yan inquiringly, "Can I see that map of Taixing City?"
"Mm! Sure!"
Saying that, a flash of light appeared in Yue Yan's hand, and a rather old-looking parchment appeared in her hand.
...
The next day,
At noon,
"Ye Feng, when you go, pay special attention to these few places... and here... there was a huge explosion back then..."
"These areas that look like the outskirts need extra caution..."
Shen Potian was explaining his research on the map of Taixing City to Ye Feng. Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were listening intently. Xiao Xiao also took out a pen and was writing something on paper.
"Ye Feng, this is for you!"
As Ye Feng was looking at the map of Taixing City, Yue Yan's voice sounded, and then a dark, blurry object appeared in front of him.
