When Ling Chen and Xiao Qi reached the south gate, they saw 20 to 30 people waiting there for them. They were all riding on large horses that were covered in dust. Evidently, they had suffered a lot to get here as fast as possible. The clothes they wore and the auras they gave off were not ordinary, and the man at the head of the party was tall with crimson hair and eyebrows. He had a fiery crown on his head, and each of his movements were majestic and dignified. Currently, in front of the gate of the new city, they were acting extremely reserved and continuously looked ahead, as if they were hoping to see something. However, they did not recklessly rush in for fear of offending someone.
With Xiao Hui’s ‘Eye of the Holy Spirit’, information about their identities was sent into Ling Chen’s mind… these people were indeed from the Vermillion Bird City, and they all held high statuses. The person at the head of the party was the Vermillion Bird’s Mayor himself!
Ling Chen told all of this information to Xiao Qi.
“Are you looking for… the Vermillion Bird’s Representative?” Xiao Qi descended as she asked somewhat anxiously.
In that instant, the crimson feather that the Vermillion Bird’s Mayor was holding started to shine with a brilliant light as a clear image of the Vermillion Bird appeared behind Xiao Qi.
The eyes of everyone from the Vermillion Bird City widened as they stared at the Vermillion Bird’s Phantasm behind Xiao Qi. Their expressions changed from one of shock to excitement as their eyes started to water up.
The Vermillion Bird’s Mayor became so excited that his face became bright red. He hurriedly jumped down from his horse and stumbled over to Xiao Qi as he yelled, “Great! Great! The Vermillion Bird’s Representative really does exist. I knew that the Vermillion Bird wouldn’t abandon us, great… great…”
Although Xiao Qi had guessed what was going on, upon seeing their reactions, Xiao Qi became a bit frightened. She weakly said, “These uncles, are you…”
The Vermillion Bird’s Mayor quickly and respectfully replied, “We’re from the Vermillion Bird City in the south, and we are the Vermillion Bird’s most faithful followers… no! Since you’ve inherited the Vermillion Bird’s power and soul, and you are the Vermillion Bird’s Representative, we’ll be your faithful followers from now on. Please use the Vermillion Bird’s power to bless our Vermillion Bird City with peace and fortune.”
“Eh?” Xiao Qi looked to Ling Chen for help, but saw Ling Chen smiling as he nodded. She let out a breath as she replied, “I’ve indeed inherited the Vermillion Bird’s power and soul, and before it left, the Vermillion Bird asked me to protect the Vermillion Bird City. However… However… I don’t know what to do.”
Xiao Qi’s words made the Vermillion Bird’s Mayor even more excited as he hurriedly replied, “Lady Representative, to be recognised by the Vermillion Bird, I’m sure you have a pure soul and kind heart. You don’t need to do much for the Vermillion Bird City; our Vermillion Bird City is linked to the Vermillion Bird’s power and soul. You just need to look after yourself and not let the Vermillion Bird’s power and soul dissipate. That’ll be enough for the Vermillion Bird City’s City Lifeline to continue existing. I believe that since Lady Representative has obtained the Vermillion Bird’s power, there will be very few people in the world who can threaten you. We hope that Lady Representative will come to visit the Vermillion Bird City now and then and accept the worship and praise of our residents.”
Xiao Qi opened her mouth… how is it this simple? She had thought that they would make her do something very troublesome.
“Mm, I understand.” Xiao Qi nodded. “The Vermillion Bird has helped me greatly, so I will definitely help protect what it protected. Please don’t worry. If the Vermillion Bird City faces trouble someday, I’ll definitely do my best to protect it.”
The Vermillion Bird’s Mayor bowed and said in extreme gratitude, “On behalf of all of the Vermillion Bird City’s residents, thank you Lady Representative!”
Xiao Qi never expected that with just a few words these people would become so moved and emotional. After all, she didn’t belong to this world and didn’t fully understand the position these guardian beasts held in the hearts of the residents they protected. They were not only guardian beasts, but also something that these residents worshipped and placed their hope and trust in. If the guardian beast had died, the residents would feel as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting.
“Lady Representative! Right now, the Vermillion Bird City has fallen into chaos after the death of the Vermillion Bird, and things are extremely unstable. Only if you appear and summon the Vermillion Bird’s Phantasm will we be able to settle this chaos and save the Vermillion Bird City. Lady Representative, please come with us to the Vermillion Bird City and receive the worship of our residents,” The Vermillion Bird’s Mayor said as he looked at Xiao Qi pleadingly.
“This…” Xiao Qi once again turned to look at Ling Chen. Ling Chen looked at her and sent her a message, “Just agree to it. Our new city is nearly complete, and if we want to strengthen our city, we not only need massive numbers of players, but also NPCs! If you go to the Vermillion Bird City, let the residents know of your existence, and let them know that you’ll frequently go to the new city, many of the residents will also be willing to move to the new city and become residents here. This will be incredibly beneficial to the new city.”
“Alright, I’ll come with you,” Xiao Qi replied without hesitation.
The Vermillion Bird City’s Mayor and the other people looked delirious with joy, and they respectfully handed Xiao Qi a teleport scroll to the Vermillion Bird City.
“Big brother Ling Tian, aren’t you coming with me?” Xiao Qi looked at Ling Chen as she asked.
Ling Chen shook his head as he smiled. “It’s best that you go by yourself. If I went, the Vermillion Bird City’s residents would feel quite strange.”
“Alright,” Xiao Qi reluctantly said.
“Are you the Lady Representative’s friend? The Lady Representative’s friends are all distinguished friends of our Vermillion Bird City. The Vermillion Bird City will welcome you at any time,” The Vermillion Bird’s Mayor said respectfully to Ling Chen. Naturally, he couldn’t show any disrespect to the Vermillion Bird Representative’s friends. Suddenly, the Vermillion Bird’s feather in his hand suddenly flashed. The Vermillion Bird’s Mayor looked up at Ling Chen, and found that without anyone realising, a hazy white shadow had appeared behind him.
Although it was quite hazy, it was evident… that it was a gigantic, roaring white lion that was covered with purple markings!
The White Tiger!
“W-White Tiger’s Representative!!” The Vermillion Bird’s Mayor was dumbfounded.
Although he was extremely shocked, the Vermillion Bird’s Mayor quickly recovered and didn’t actually yell out. As he returned to the Vermillion Bird City with Xiao Qi, his emotions were incredibly complicated… no wonder he was friends with the Lady Representative. He was the White Tiger’s Representative - the person who had inherited the power and soul of the White Tiger, the most powerful of the 4 guardian beasts. News had spread that the White Tiger had gone berserk and then died, causing the White Tiger City to fall into chaos. The White Tiger City’s Mayor was also desperately searching for the White Tiger’s Representative… and he was right here!
Thinking to the state of the Vermillion Bird City, the Vermillion Bird City’s Mayor understood just how the White Tiger City’s Mayor was feeling and immediately sent him a message regarding the White Tiger’s Representative… within 30 minutes, tens of people in light armour charged out from the White Tiger City, rushing towards the Fairy Forest.
Afterwards, Ling Chen devoted all of his time towards the new city. It was impossible for him to familiarise himself with such a large city in such a short amount of time. As he familiarised himself with the place, he made suggestions about some changes, which the Dwarves unhesitatingly complied with. This made Ling Chen feel a bit embarrassed about suggesting any more changes.

“Tian Ya, when I logged off earlier, I had a look in a mirror and found that it wasn’t just an illusion in the game; the wounds on my face really all disappeared. There isn’t even a scar left.” Xuanyuan Dia Wu was sitting back to back with Ling Chen as she happily spoke while looking at the sky.
“Haha, of course it wasn’t an illusion. My Dia Wu should naturally be that pretty,” Ling Chen said as he laughed.
“But…” Xuanyuan Dia Wu’s eyes were filled with confusion and haziness. “Although I didn’t dare to look in the mirror, I would wash my face every day and feel those countless, coarse scars on my face. If the scars had long since disappeared, I should have discovered this long ago. Yesterday, when I washed my face, I could still feel them…”
“It’s quite simple; this is a classic psychological effect,” Ling Chen said breezily. “Because you’ve always been sure that there were scars on your face, when you touched your face, your brain convinced you that there were scars there. Don’t think about it too much. All you need to know is that you’re my perfect Dia Wu.”
“Mm!” Xuanyuan Dia Wu replied as she smiled. Although she still felt quite confused, she wanted to believe Ling Chen’s explanation and let go of those thoughts.
“Tian Ya, right now you’re at the Bamboo Sea Wonderland in Su Hang, right?” Xuanyuan Dia Wu asked.
“That’s right. Hurry and fly over here,” Ling Chen smiled as he replied.
“… How many girls are there with you?”
“Err, let me count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…”
“So… So many!”
“Are you angry?”
“No way! Hmph! Since there are so many girls staying with you, I… I’ll go next month! Hmph!”
“……”
……………………………………………………….
Sunlight shines brightly at noon. Right after lunch, the screeching of brakes sounded out outside of Bamboo Sea Wonderland.
Li Xiao Xue, who was supposed to come in the afternoon, had come early.
“Big sister Xiao Xue!!”
Li Xiao Xue elegantly walked out of her red sportscar and immediately saw Tian Tian next to the man-made lake… as well as Shadissika. She stared for a moment before smiling. “Isn’t this little Sha Sha? Why are you here? I thought you were an NPC in the game.”
It wasn’t just Li Xiao Xue. Everyone else who met Shadissika thought she was an NPC… because her pure-white skin, pure-white hair, and diamond-like eyes were not things that Chinese girls had. As such, Li Xiao Xue was quite shocked to see Shadissika here… but even if she was 100 times more intelligent, she wouldn’t have imagined that Ling Chen had brought her out from the game.
“Good afternoon, big sister,” Shadissika cutely smiled.
“Is big sister Xiao Xue here to find big brother?” Tian Tian skipped over.
“That’s right, I have an appointment with him. Hasn’t he come out from the game yet?”
After speaking, Li Xiao Xue saw Ling Chen walk out from the villa. Upon seeing her, he asked in frustration, “Didn’t we agree to meet in the afternoon?”
Li Xiao Xue smiled as she walked over while batting her eyelashes and said in a small voice, “Would you believe me if I said that I just couldn’t wait to see you?”
“… Alright, it’s fine if you’re early. I wanted to meet Gu Qing Han as soon as possible too,” Ling Chen said.
“Little master, do we have guests? Do you want me to do anything?”
An extremely bewitching voice came from behind Ling Chen, causing Ling Chen and Li Xiao Xue’s bodies to weaken. After the voice travelled out, its owner walked out from behind Ling Chen… in that instant, Li Xiao Xue felt as if the sky and earth had suddenly dimmed and that all of the light in the world was gathered on this ridiculously beautiful woman. Compared to her, everything else was incredibly dim and not worth looking at.
Ling Chen nearly cursed out loud, swearing at her thousands of times inwardly… Didn’t I tell you, time and time again, not to come out??
When a beautiful woman – an incredibly intelligent and beautiful woman – saw a woman even more beautiful than her, how would she react?
What’s more, it was in front of ‘her man’!
Furthermore, from Qi Yue’s gaze… she was evidently provoking Li Xiao Xue!
