Chapter 577: Power Transition in Fengcheng

The morning light is soft, and Huayu Terrace in Fenghua City is quiet and peaceful.

Hua Nuan'er and Mo Banhe were worrying about the mountains of paperwork. Although they looked like teenagers, their years of accumulated experience and composure were still hidden in their every move.

"City Lord, someone wants to see you." The waiter hurried in, breaking the silence.

"Huh? Who is it?" Hua Nuan'er put down the brush in her hand and frowned slightly. At this delicate moment, every visitor may bring unpredictable changes.

"The visitor calls himself Ye Xing." The waiter replied respectfully.

Hua Nuan'er pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with Mo Banhe, and nodded, "Please ask him to come in."

Inside Huayu Stage, the atmosphere was solemn and a little tense.

Hua Nuan'er and Mo Banhe sat in the main seats, their expressions showing worry about the situation and alertness to the unknown. Their eyes were fixed on Ye Xing who came to report the secret.

At this moment, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from outside.

Hua Nuan'er instinctively turned her head to look, and when she saw Xiang Zhu's tall and agile figure appear at the door, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

Xiang Zhu seems to have a special charm that can make people feel a sense of security in this complicated situation.

Mo Banhe's reaction was extremely exaggerated. His eyes widened instantly, his mouth opened unconsciously, and his face was full of shock and amazement, as if he had seen the rarest and funniest thing in the world.

His eyes were fixed on Xiang Zhu who walked in, as if everything around him had ceased to exist.

Seeing this, Ye Xing immediately bowed respectfully and said loudly: "Ye Xing greets City Lord Hua."

Hua Nuan'er nodded slightly and said softly, "You're welcome. Please take a seat."

However, Mo Banhe was completely immersed in his own shock at the moment and had no time to care about "Ye Xing".

His eyes were still fixed on Xiang Zhu, and he said in a trembling voice: "You... you are not, the... the young man who painted "Dayan's Vast Rivers and Mountains"? " Mo Banhe's tone was full of disbelief, and the magnificent and majestic painting instantly appeared in his mind.

When he saw the painting at that time, he was deeply impressed by the extraordinary talent of the painter. He did not expect that he would be able to meet the young painter at Huayu Terrace today.

Xiang Zhu had a faint sense of confidence on his face, with the corners of his mouth raised, and he replied with a smile: "That's right." His voice was firm and clear. These two simple words seemed to have a power that could penetrate people's hearts, making everyone present feel his extraordinaryness.

"Okay, stop teasing him." Hua Nuan'er smiled and spoke softly, her tone sounding like she was scolding a naughty child.

After that, she looked at Mo Banhe, who was staring at her with a look of astonishment, with a hint of helplessness and gentleness in her eyes, and explained: "Don't be surprised, he is still alive."

Mo Banhe nodded slowly, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, as if he was swallowing a stomach full of questions with difficulty.

He took a deep breath and calmed his inner turmoil. In this strange time and space, in this ever-changing era, he knew in his heart that no matter what incredible things happened, it would not be surprising.

Those unimaginable adventures and bizarre incidents had already made his nerves tough, but Xiang Zhu's appearance was so unexpected that he was unable to recover for a moment.

At this time, Huayu Terrace was completely quiet, with only a gentle breeze blowing, blowing the curtains in the hall, making a slight rustling sound.

Ye Xing sat aside, watching all this quietly. Xiang Zhu looked calm, with a faint smile on his face, as if he had anticipated Mo Banhe's reaction, and it seemed that all the changes in the world could not shake his inner peace.

Xiang Zhu looked at Hua Nuan'er and Mo Banhe with a gentle gaze, and asked softly, "Are you still drinking the spiritual fruit tea I gave you earlier?"

Hua Nuan'er had a smile on her lips and nodded briskly, her voice clear: "We drink it every day. This tea has a unique taste and we are used to it." After that, she turned to look at Mo Banhe beside her with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Mo Banhe also nodded quickly, his face full of emotion, and his voice unconsciously rose a little: "This spiritual fruit tea is so magical! We are both in our sixties and seventies, and we thought our youth had long gone. I didn't expect that after drinking this tea, we can return to our youth. I never thought of it in my dreams!" As he spoke, he gestured excitedly, with a gleam in his eyes.

Xiang Zhu nodded slightly, with a humble smile on his face: "I am also very pleased to be of some help to you two."

Mo Banhe took a step forward, his expression solemn, and he clasped his hands together and said sincerely: "Xiang Zhu, old man, I really thank you! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had this adventure and regained such a young body."

Xiang Zhu quickly extended his hand to support him, and responded sincerely: "Senior Mo, you are too polite. This is all coincidence. It is the effect of the spiritual fruit tea that can restore the youth of you and City Lord Hua. I just happened to be there."

"You two are being too polite." Hua Nuan'er smiled teasingly, and said with a chuckle, "Okay, tell me the purpose of your visit." She tilted her head slightly and looked at Xiang Zhu intently, her expression full of concern.

Xiang Zhu's expression became serious and earnest. He straightened his back slightly and said in a deep voice: "I came here this time because the situation has reached the point where I have to come. The spirit race has gradually incorporated various forces in Fenghua City, and we also hope to be able to take over Fenghua City in an all-round way." He spoke slowly and each word was clear and powerful, with unquestionable determination.

After hearing this, Hua Nuan'er nodded thoughtfully, her eyes showing calmness and understanding. She pursed her lips slightly, as if she was weighing something in her mind.

"Spirit tribe?" Mo Banhe whispered, frowning slightly, with a hint of doubt and surprise in his eyes. He subconsciously took a step forward, as if he wanted to see Xiang Zhu more clearly.

"Yes, we are the spirit race." Xiang Zhu looked into Mo Banhe's eyes with determination and said again with certainty. His eyes revealed an innate pride and sense of mission, as if announcing the advent of a new era. At this moment, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, as if even the air froze at this moment. Everyone knew that Fenghua City was about to usher in an unprecedented change.

"I just didn't expect it to be so fast." Hua Nuan'er sighed softly, looking into the distance with a complicated expression. Her fingers tapped the table unconsciously, as if she was thinking about something.

"Then this Fenghua City..." Hua Nuan'er said, her voice paused, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and her brows slightly frowned.

Xiang Zhu seemed to have anticipated her concerns. He smiled gently, his tone firm and steady: "We will definitely not take over Fenghua City directly for the time being. After all, this matter is complicated and every aspect must be considered carefully. You will continue to manage it for a while. During this transition period, you may have to do some handover work with us." Xiang Zhu said, nodding slightly, his eyes full of sincerity.

Hua Nuan'er's tense expression relaxed slightly, and she nodded gently, feeling relieved. "That's good. The people of Fengcheng are used to the current lifestyle. A sudden change might cause panic. With this buffer time, we can slowly explain everything to everyone."

Mo Banhe was listening at the side, frowned slightly, and asked, "So how do we do the handover work specifically? We can prepare in advance."

Xiang Zhu patiently explained: "Next, I will arrange for the people of the Spirit Clan to contact you two, mainly to sort out the population, supplies, defense and other matters of Fengcheng. If you have any questions, you can ask them at any time."
