Chapter 992 Luohui City

Inside the roller coaster, Li Qian sat in the back row and said, "By the way, what does your Christina look like? I've never seen her before."

"I'll keep you in suspense for now, but you'll see it soon enough," Lu Ming said mysteriously, sitting in the front and driving the roller coaster.

Upon hearing this, Li Qian nodded slightly. There was indeed no need to ask at this moment. Without pausing, he continued, "So where are we going now? Gaochang City or Luohui City?"

As far as Li Qian knew, the places with the largest concentration of Gaochang people in the entire Eastern Xia Federation were Gaochang City and Luohui City.

Of course, this is not absolute.

A considerable number of Gaochang people have also chosen to live among other ethnic groups. According to Li Qian's understanding, there are quite a few Gaochang people living in Shazhou City.

“Luohui City,” Lu Ming replied.

After hearing Lu Ming's reply, Li Qian said with some emotion, "Speaking of which, time really flies. It feels like only a blink of an eye, and you, you playboy, are already getting married."

"Hey, after you get married, you can't keep flirting around like before," Li Qian said, adding a special reminder.

Lu Ming's lips twitched slightly upon hearing Li Qian's words. "Qianzi, you can't say things like that after we get to their house."

"Dude, I just hadn't met the right person before, so I was always searching for someone." Lu Ming began to defend himself, and it was clear that he had the air of a mature man and a strong survival instinct.

After offering a defense, Lu Ming chuckled and then steered the conversation towards Li Qian, "Qianzi, who are you planning to marry in the future?"

Faced with Lu Ming's sudden question, Li Qian was taken aback. To be honest, he hadn't really thought about this question before.

After a moment of stunned silence, he quickly realized what was happening. He glanced at Lu Ming and then shamelessly said, "Why do I have to marry anyone? Why can't I marry them all?"

Upon hearing Li Qian's answer, Lu Ming gave him a thumbs up, "You're really awesome! So many of them, and they haven't even started fighting yet!"

"That's my personal charm," Li Qian continued shamelessly. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt a slight stinging sensation in his back as he said those words.

That's where Zero-sensei's tattoo was applied; could it be that she's scratching herself?

Soon, Li Qian put the matter out of his mind. Regardless of whether she was trying to provoke him, he was not afraid to express his true feelings directly.

The roller coaster sped along, leaving several trails in the sky. After flying for about two hours, it finally arrived at a place not far from Luohui City.

Although Luohui City is not completely off-limits to air travel, you still need to report to the police department if you want to fly in directly, which is quite troublesome.

Of course, none of that matters. The problem is that dropping directly from a high altitude seems a bit disrespectful.

So the eight cars landed one by one on the road not far from Luohui City and began to drive slowly.

Just now, in mid-air, I only caught a fleeting glimpse and didn't get a good look. Now, having landed and entered the city, I can see it clearly. Luohui City isn't very large, roughly the same size as Lingshui City, but it's a very unique city.

The buildings here are generally not tall, and their facades are almost entirely silver-gray. From a distance, they look like identical stones, neatly arranged there.

In addition, after entering the city, Li Qian also discovered that there were many star elements in the city.

For example, there are five-pointed stars painted on the walls, six-pointed stars inlaid with fluorite on the streets, and various star-shaped sculptures in the squares and flower beds.

Since it was Li Qian's first time visiting Luohui City and seeing this scene for the first time, he was quite curious. So he asked Lu Ming, "Old Lu, Luohui City is quite interesting. There are so many star elements in the whole city."

Lu Ming nodded after hearing Li Qian's words, "That's normal, because Luohui City was originally called Luoxing City!"

"Not far from the city in the northern suburbs, there is a mountain range called Falling Star Mountain. Legend has it that even today, meteors still fall from that place from time to time."

"That's where the name Falling Star City comes from; it means the place where a meteor fell."

After hearing Lu Ming's explanation, Li Qian looked puzzled. "This name is quite beautiful and romantic. Why change it?"

"I looked up this question online. It says that one night, a meteorite fell from the sky and destroyed almost half of the city."

"That natural disaster brought too many painful memories to the locals. In order to get rid of these painful memories, at the unanimous petition of the citizens, the governor went with the flow and renamed the city Luohui City, meaning the place where holy light descended."

At this point, Lu Ming's expression suddenly turned strange. He lowered his voice, turned his head, and then said mysteriously, "That's the official version. Actually, there's another version, which Tina told me."

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Li Qian immediately became interested and quickly asked, "What else is there to say? Tell me quickly!"

"Rumor has it that in Luoxing City, there is also the Gaochang City area, which is mainly inhabited by the Gaochang people. There used to be a very active religious sect in this area."

"This sect is called the 'Cult of the Stars.' They believe in the stars and that through prayer, they can receive the blessings of the stars."

"According to Tina, more than a hundred years ago, the Star Cult held a grand prayer ceremony in this Falling Glow City, which was formerly Falling Star City, using a special array."

"That huge meteorite that fell from the sky was not actually a natural disaster, but was guided down by that special formation."

After hearing Lu Ming's explanation, Li Qian's face showed a look of surprise.

Clearly, he hadn't expected there to be such a story behind it. Of course, whether this version of the rumor is true or false remains to be seen.

"Then... what about the Starry Sky Cult?" He couldn't contain his curiosity and continued to ask.

Lu Ming replied, "Having committed such a crime, involving so many lives, the Starry Sky Cult was immediately labeled a cult. Then, in less than a month, it was completely eradicated by the federal government in conjunction with the high-ranking officials of the Gaochang tribe, and disappeared without a trace."
