The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 450 Lotus Lantern, Self-Discipline and Restoration of Propriety

At 9 PM, the city within the Second Ring Road was brightly lit and decorated with fireworks, resembling a city that never sleeps.

After being teleported from the Seven Rings City, Feng Ling and Mo Yu walked slowly and absentmindedly, oblivious to the fact that they had already entered the bustling streets side by side.

"Mu Yaya, you dare to stop and run away? My sister took a liking to that lotus lantern first, come on!"

"Hehehe! You big idiot, whoever pays first gets to keep it. Come and get me if you dare!"

Inside the city, besides the children chasing and playing, there are countless other scenes that are dazzling to behold.

There are towering neon palaces; there are rows of bustling night markets and countless streets and alleys; and there are scenes of people or ghosts holding hands and sharing an oil-paper umbrella, shielding themselves from the surrounding noise and fireworks, and then shyly staying together in harmony...

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out.

The six- or seven-year-old girl named Mu Yaya, perhaps because she was being chased so fast, kept looking back and failed to carefully avoid the obstacles under her feet.

Immediately afterwards, she tripped, and the lotus lantern she was holding was thrown out of her arms. Her body, propelled by inertia, lurched into the alleyway in front of her.

"Huh, why doesn't it hurt?"

At the street corner, a sudden gust of wind arose.

Mu Yaya felt as if she had bumped into something soft and unknown, but her vision was blurry for a moment, and she couldn't help but feel confused.

So she bent down to slow down, then opened her eyes and looked up.

The first thing that catches the eye is two straight, long, slender legs, followed by a shapely figure and a cold, aloof face.

"Sister, I'm so sorry! I got your clothes dirty!"

Mu Yaya was startled by the woman's cold gaze, and belatedly realized what was happening and quickly lowered her head to withdraw her dirty little hand from her jade-like leg.

Clearly, she had only escaped injury by bumping into this aloof woman; as for whether the woman was alright, she had no idea.

"Little girl, are you hurt?"

Mo Yu exhaled a sigh of frustration, then gently knelt down and carefully tidied the messy hair of the little girl who shook her head upon hearing this.

Suddenly, the little girl pouted in grievance and started to cry, not knowing why.

Just as Mo Yu was at a loss, Feng Ling returned, squatted down, and said with a smile, "Here, little sister, here are two new lotus lanterns for you. Be careful next time!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yaya looked up and immediately nodded with delight, wiping away her tears, her tears turning into laughter: "Okay, thank you, big brother and big sister!"

Immediately, she happily hugged the two lotus lanterns and skipped and hopped to meet up with her two friends who were standing not far away on the side of the street, their eyes filled with fear.

"Little sister, what are you waiting for?" Sharing one of the lotus lanterns in her hand, Mu Yaya pulled the girl and urged, "Come on, let's release the lotus lanterns together!"

"But...but my brother hasn't come yet..."

"Hey, forget about your brother, he's a complete idiot!"

"Mu Yaya, you've run off with my sister again, and you even insulted me in front of her! I... I'm not done with you yet!"

Watching the sounds of laughter and play gradually fade into the distance.

The ghosts and humans strolling in the surrounding streets breathed a sigh of relief, lowering their chilling claws and wary blades. Then, they glanced at Mo Yu and Feng Ling with a mixture of amazement and apprehension before resuming their previous boisterous activity.

Admittedly, the night air is relatively cold and the nightlife is quite wonderful, making it the most active time for both the ghost race and the human race.

The ghost race is inherently yin. Even those with high cultivation levels who are not afraid of sunlight and can walk in the daytime, the vast majority of them dislike yang and prefer yin.

Otherwise, the bizarre sight of people strolling around the streets and watching fireworks at night with oil-paper umbrellas would not have occurred.

However, it is worth praising that:

During the daytime, clusters of black and white clouds formed by arrays float in the sky above the Holy City of Demons, changing every half hour.

This allows the lesser demons, who have shallow cultivation and are afraid of sunlight, to freely chase and play with human children during the day.

……

Located near the most bustling area of ​​the Second Ring Road, the sounds of nature are ever-present. One can faintly discern from the Miaoyin Pavilion that one can hear people singing and dancing or reciting poems.

"Feng Ling, why don't you go to the Myriad Sounds Pavilion by yourself? I want to go back to cultivate!"

After pondering for a long time, Mo Yu finally broke the silence. Deep down, she really wanted to accompany Feng Ling to see the new and interesting things.

But ever since learning that Leng Ningshuang had compromised and sacrificed her marital happiness in order to explore the secrets of resurrecting Feng Yuqing's original body, and had gambled her life to ask Xingzhai the Demon Prince for a chance to make a deduction, Mo Yu felt very uncomfortable.

Therefore, not only did Feng Ling silently set his sights on winning the top spot, but Mo Yu also set his sights on the prestigious position of 'Number One on the Human Ranking'.

After all, Mo Yu's current realm far surpasses Feng Ling's, and may even far surpass Xing Zhai Mo Zi's. But just in case, she still wants to speed up the process and improve her strength a little more.

"Okay, go and cultivate in peace!"

Feng Ling nodded, but seeing that Mo Yu hesitated to leave, he immediately laughed and said, "At least I still have the cultivation of a peak mortal saint, and the aftereffects of demonization have been eradicated. I won't encounter any danger in this inner city!"

"Well, listen up! You can listen to music in the brothel, but you must remain self-disciplined and respectful, otherwise... Sister Shuang and I won't let you off the hook!"

After stammering, Mo Yu, her pretty face flushed, looked at Feng Ling, whose expression had become blank due to her words, and couldn't help but let out a cold snort before hurriedly disappearing into the air.

After a long while, Feng Ling rolled his eyes in the direction Mo Yu had left, then headed alone towards the brothel that Mo Yu had mentioned.

Incidentally, Feng Ling found a Ghost Stone, which was the very culprit that caused Mu Yaya to fall.

"No one should pick up lost items on the road..."

Feng Ling clicked his tongue, thinking to himself: The wealth of the people of the Holy City alone far exceeds my imagination! Then, what about the City Lord's Mansion, which governs the entire territory?

It seems we need to find some time to take stock of the resources with the three deputy city lords, including Ye Xing.

I've also been feeling unwell occasionally, so I'll probably switch to weekly updates to ensure quality and release everything at once. Thank you for your understanding, everyone who has read this far. Respectfully yours, Zongzi.]

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
