West of the town.
The street was bustling with activity.
This down-to-earth atmosphere made Fang Yu feel very close to home, completely different from the feeling he had in the city of the Shadow Clan.
It wasn’t just because everyone I saw was of a normal human complexion, but also because the entire area lacked that underlying sense of oppression and constraint.
In the city of the Shadowmoon Valley, armored warriors are everywhere.
This made most of the Shadowkin on the street seem to be in a rush, without any leisurely feeling.
Now, walking on the streets of Xilin Town, Fang Yu felt very relaxed.
“Brother Fang, hurry up! You’re falling behind!”
The little stream ahead turned back and waved to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu seemed to have truly become someone who brought his younger sister to town for fun.
“Okay.”
Fang Yu followed suit.
After arriving at the town, Xiaoxier’s pair of bright and lively eyes sparkled with her jet-black pupils constantly glancing around.
She had a keen interest in everything new and exciting, stopping at each stall for a while.
This is probably just the nature of children.
Whether it’s Linger, Xiaoxier, or Xiaofengling… they all look the same when they go out.
“If you see anything you like, you can buy it.” Fang Yu said.
Xiaoxier looked up at Fang Yu and said, “Fang gege, I’m not old enough to use money yet… I just want to take a look.”
Fang Yu smiled, just about to say he could chip in.
Before he could utter the words, Fang Yu suddenly realized…this was no longer Earth.
And he had no currency in use here in his hands.
Speaking of which, he might even be poorer than Xiaoxier.
“Then let’s take a look,” Fang Yu said reluctantly.
“Hmm!” Xiaoxier wasn’t discouraged, she continued to skip forward merrily.
The street was bustling with activity, lined with stalls selling a variety of goods.
Some sell small toys, some sell snacks, and others sell jewelry.
“Ring ring ring…”
The little stream stopped at another stall.
A string of wind chimes hung from the stall’s small sign.
A light breeze rustled through, causing the little wind chimes to produce a melodious and ethereal sound.
This stall was filled with numerous lollipop figures, each on a wooden stick and uniquely shaped, quite intricate.
The stall owner was an elderly woman. She sat on a bamboo stool, her head bowed as she continued to make little sugar figures.
Little Xi stood before the stall, staring longingly at the small candy people on display.
Fang Yu remembered, before arriving in Xilin Town, Xiaoxier had been talking about this candy stall all the time.
Obviously, she loves these little candy people.
Fang Yu thought for a moment, then walked forward.
“How much is each of these candy people?” Fang Yu asked.
The old woman raised her head, looked at Fang Yu and Xiao Xi’er, and smiled: “Three copper coins.”
“Three copper coins.” Fang Yu scratched his head.
He glanced at the storage space.
Fang Yu thought for a moment and looked around.
Then, he looked at the small jar in front of the old woman.
A small can was filled with many copper coins.
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly, quickly remembering all the details of the copper coin.
“Brother Fang, let’s go,” Xiaoxier turned to Fang Yu and said, “Next time we come out, I’ll ask the Second Elder to buy it for me, hehe.”
“Don’t worry.” Fang Yu said.
Fang Yu’s eyes flashed, a faint golden glow flickering within them.
The golden cross sword appeared within his pupils.
Then, Fang Yu turned his head and looked behind him.
That location, it seems, is the home of some prominent citizen in town.
On both sides of the gate, there are two bronze lion statues.
Fang Yu’s eyes, holding a golden cross sword, twitched slightly.
A small notch immediately appeared beneath one of the bronze lion statues.
And at that moment, Fang Yu raised his right palm.
Three copper coins, formed in his palm just like that.
The whole process took less than ten seconds.
Fei Yu’s eyes lost their brilliance, and three copper coins materialized in his right hand.
“I want a small sugar man,” Fang Yu said, placing three copper coins in front of the old woman.
The old woman chuckled and said, “Good, pick one you like.”
Fang Yu looked at Xiaoxier and said, “Choose.”
“Since the money has been given, it must be true,” Fang Yu replied.
Little Creek had obviously set her sights on one of the small candy figures a while ago, and immediately reached out to take it.
“Thank you, Fangge!” said Xiaoxier.
“Let’s go find somewhere to rest.” Fang Yu said.
“Great!” Xiao Xi replied happily.
The two of them walked toward the end of the street. After turning the corner, they would see a path lined with trees.
Fāng Yǔ was preparing to take Xiǎo Xī to the shade of a tree for some relief from the heat, and to wait for Tiān Jī Dào Rén to come find him.
But just as he was walking along the path, he suddenly stopped, his eyes flickering.
In that instant, he felt…the soul imprint left on Tianjidaoren’s body, dissipate.
The dissipation of the soul mark leaves only two possibilities.
Either Tianji Dao Ren or someone else found a way to break the soul seal.
Either… or something happened to Tiangji Dao Ren.
The first possibility is extremely small, firstly…that soul imprint is extremely complex, it would be very difficult for them to remove it themselves.
Besides, even if they had a way to lift it, there was absolutely no need to do so.
Because once the soul mark is lifted, it means no longer wanting to cooperate with Fang Yu.
And Tianji Daoist also let Xiaoxier follow Fang Yu to Xilin Town…
It’s contradictory no matter how you think about it.
Then, there’s only the second possibility.
The Heavenly Machine Taoist… something happened.
Fāng Yǔ’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Xiǎo Xī.
Little Xi’er continued to walk forward, happily playing with the sugar man in her hand, as if she didn’t want to eat it.
It’s not safe to leave Xiaoxier here alone.
Fang Yu thought for a moment, then said: “Xiaoxier, we have to go back to Santong Xuanmen.”
“Huh? Why? Didn’t Elder Two say he’d be here soon…” Xiaoxier turned her head and asked in confusion.
“Something urgent has come up, I’ll take you back with me.” Fang Yu said.
“Oh, well then… I’ve finished looking around anyway,” Xiaoxier smiled.
Fāngyǔ walked forward and picked up Xiǎoxī’er with one hand.
“You should have flown with your sword qi before, right?” Fang Yu asked.
“Well, Elder Two took me flying over…” Xiaoxier replied softly.
After being picked up by Yu, she felt something was different.
After all, it was the first time meeting Fang Yu, so I wasn’t particularly familiar with him.
But Xiaoxier felt in her heart that the big brother in front of her was definitely not a bad person.
“He left.”
“Whoosh!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Fang Yu rose into the air and returned to Santong Xuanmen at an incredible speed.
“Ah!”
Although Xiaoxier had flown with Tianji Daoist before, she had never experienced such a rapid speed. She couldn’t help but scream in surprise.
But her voice was completely drowned out by the roar of the void.
“Whoosh…”
High in the sky, Fang Yu and Xiao Xi’er transformed into a golden ray of light, swiftly flying towards the direction of Santong Xuanmen.
