This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Looking at Bai Yu's slightly red cheeks and ashamed eyes, Ye Yiyi sighed in his heart.

Well, actually I’m greedy too.

"Let's go, I also want to see the new weapons."

Chapter 222 [Whipped Cane]

The Moon Mystic Art Workshop of Tongtian Tree is not located in the "Holy Fish District" where Baiyu is staying in the hotel, but in the "Holy Pegasus District", on the street near the Church of the Mother Earth and the Lingering Temple.

This happened to be the same final destination for both of them.

But after learning that it would take nearly an hour to walk from the Holy Fish District to the Holy Sky Horse District, Ye Yiyi decisively chose a more convenient means of transportation - a horse carriage.

The city streets of Tongtianshu are not wide, but there are still many box carriages for carrying passengers going back and forth.

According to the coachman, they were employees of "Liaofu Coachman", a branch of "Xingji Logistics" in the United States of Cuilengbo.

"Xingji Logistics?"

Sitting in the carriage with extremely strong shock absorption performance, where he could not feel the bumps at all, Ye Yiyi looked at the street outside the window and fell into deep thought about this familiar name.

"This is my first time riding in a carriage..."

Bai Yu sat directly opposite him, looking at the decoration inside the car curiously, and then her eyes fell on the small table by the window.

"It's amazing that there are free drinks."

"First time sitting here?" Ye Yiyi came back to his senses, a little confused.

"You've been here for almost a month, right? How come this is your first time riding in a carriage?"

“Because it’s expensive!”

The female knight fiddled with the glasses and drinks on the small table, and finally put them down, unable to help but sigh.

"I revived on the beach. My mind was completely confused when I woke up. I didn't remember being dead at all. I only vaguely remembered fighting a Cursed Knight. So I mistook the guards patrolling the beach for enemies and nearly killed them..."

Although Bai Yu's answer was somewhat irrelevant to the question, Ye Yiyi didn't care and spoke as a listener.

"What then?"

"Later, I realized they weren't minions of the curse, so I stopped."

Bai Yu showed a slightly guilty expression when he said this.

"But even so, I still cut off a guard's arm. Although I used the potion I carried with me to reattach his arm, the frightened guard still called for backup."

"Support... Were you in Cui Lengbai at that time?" Ye Yiyi asked.

"Yes, it's in Cui Lengbai."

Bai Yu nodded gloomily, "It's a port city called Chantavia..." After healing the guards, the supporting cat knights also arrived at the scene.

"They are high-ranking law enforcers within the Cui Lengbai government, and are also believers in the Earth Mother, calling themselves the Treespear Knights.

"I tried to explain my identity, but the cat knights wouldn't listen. They seemed to mistake me, wearing the White Feather Knight armor, for some terrifying monster and attacked me."

When Ye Yiyi heard this, he thought of the white feather knight armor with a very impactful appearance.

With his height, wearing the armor and helmet, he looked like a steel giant over two meters tall.

Being treated as a monster is only natural.

"What then?"

"Later, Xiaomei rushed there and tried to cause chaos, and took me away during the chaos."

"Xiaomei?"

"It's its previous owner." Bai Yu pointed at the [fake ring] on Ye Yiyi's finger.

"That ghost walker?" Ye Yiyi suddenly realized.

"Yes, Xiaomei is a ghost walker. She took me to her residence - a deserted cemetery, where I found the holy tablet."

"And then you came to the Cursed Hall?" He remembered the night when he first met Bai Yu.

"Well, thanks to Nivea, the Saint, the old blacksmith, and you, Michaela, I was able to recover quickly from that chaotic state." Having said that, Bai Yu couldn't help but smile.

"What happens after that?"

"After that, I returned to Shantavia and prepared to head towards the city where the Lingering Temple existed, and Xiaomei came with me."

"Together...that means traveling together. What about Xiaomei?"

"She has found a home and returned to the earth."

Bai Yu smiled softly, "She recognized this armor of mine, which is why she helped me. In return, I took her on a journey to find her father's grave."

"Her father?"

"Ghost Walkers are spirits transformed from souls that are unwilling to return to the earth due to obsession." Bai Yu said faintly.

"Xiaomei was once the daughter of an archaeologist. Her father died in an ancient ruin, and she was sold to Chantavia as a prostitute by a bounty hunter hired by her father. She eventually drowned at sea.

"But her longing for her father made her become a ghost walker,"

"What happened next?" Ye Yiyi asked calmly, "Did you avenge Xiaomei?"

"By the time I found those bounty hunters, they had been dead for a long, long time."

Bai Yu lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I failed to avenge her."

"Ugh……"

Ye Yiyi let out a long sigh.

"However, since Xiaomei has returned to the earth, it means that she has let go of her hatred."

Bai Yu suddenly revealed a peaceful smile.

“Not only did she find her father, she also gained a friend in me.

"In the last days of her life, she helped me understand this society, while I worked part-time as a bounty hunter, leading her on this not-too-long, but certainly-a-joyful journey.

"Finally, she turned into light at the place where my father died, returned to the earth, and left this ring to me.

"That's the ring Xiaomei got from another ghost walker. They call it a 'fake.' The general meaning is: even if a spirit can disguise itself as a human, a soul that has lost its life and survived by relying on obsession is ultimately just a fake disguised as life."

"But do you think it's a fake?" Ye Yiyi asked softly.

"I've never felt this way." Bai Yu rubbed his slightly red eyes and gently stroked the carriage under him, with a lingering smile on his face.

"I saw this sword at the Qiqiao Workshop of Yue Mishu at that time. In order to save as much money as possible, I took Xiaomei with me to complete the commissions and relied on our own legs."

"That's why you have never ridden in a carriage..." Ye Yiyi finally understood.

"Yes, because riding in a carriage is very expensive." Bai Yu smiled, "Now that I think about it, those days when I talked with Xiaomei while walking were so profound and real.

“The past we have experienced, the present we are writing, and the memories we will have in the future are all the most real things.

"If that is also a fake, then there is no such thing as truth."

Ye Yiyi was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled.

"I will record this sentence in my travel notes."

Bai Yu was a little stunned. When she came to her senses, she looked away embarrassedly.

"It's just something I felt, it's not something worth recording..."

Ye Yiyi did not answer this question, but looked out the window, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Here we are."

Bai Yu's eyes instantly became serious, and he packed up his things and prepared to get off the car.

But when paying the fare, Ye Yiyi encountered a problem with details.

The lowest denomination of the imperial banknotes he owned was 10 yuan.

Although the fare was not cheap, even for the lowest 10 yuan, the coachman looked embarrassed and said he couldn't make the change.

In the end, Bai Yu had to pay for the bus fare, thus using up her already meager savings.

Seeing the female knight's dumbfounded expression at the empty wallet, Ye Yiyi had no choice but to comfort her:

"It's okay. If you see something you like in the store later, just buy it and I'll pay!"

"real?!"

Bai Yu's eyes lit up like light bulbs in an instant, and then she frowned, a little hesitant.

"But Michaela, it must be very difficult for you to earn so much money. Isn't that a bit bad?"

"Look at what you're saying. Aren't we here to update our equipment? To achieve our goal, spending a little money is nothing. At worst, I can just go there..."

He pointed to a tall building not far away with a sign that read "God Hunter Church."

"...I'll just go there and sell some stuff. I'm an auxiliary hunter for the church."

"Okay then..." Bai Yu nodded blankly, then rushed into the store with an excited look on his face.

Ye Yiyi looked at the female knight's excited back and then at the brightly lit building not far away.

"But is the branch of the Church of the Hunting God here?"

He looked up thoughtfully at the towering tree that was just a few steps away.

"Perhaps the Hunting God Church can give me some help in infiltrating the Lingering Temple."

Putting this option aside for the moment, he planned to visit the Hunting God Church after finishing his shopping.

Turning around, pushing open the double frosted glass doors and walking into the store, what immediately catches your eye is the dazzling array of exquisite items.

Various objects with strange shapes and exquisite appearance attracted Ye Yiyi's attention like magnets.

"Welcome to the Moon Mystic's Qiqiao Workshop, meow. What may I be able to do for you, my guest?"

Before he could take a closer look, a cat-man with blue eyes and the appearance of a ragdoll came to him and bowed slightly.

"you……"

He looked up and down at the ragdoll cat person who was wearing a black and white long skirt, had a furry appearance and was extremely good-looking, and then silently switched to the Mage.

"Well, a cat doll. The bricklayer's craftsmanship is really exquisite." He thought to himself.

Since he came to shop and not to do business, there was no need to disturb the bricklayer.

"I want to buy some exotic and practical weapons."

He spoke, looking down at himself again, unable to help but smile.

"If possible, I'd also like to see armor with special effects."

"Then you have come to the right place, sir!" The ragdoll cat narrowed his eyes and said happily in a soft girlish voice.

"We at Kit Kat Workshop have no shortage of unique things!

"I wonder what kind of strange weapon you need, sir?"

He glanced at Bai Yu, who was smiling foolishly at various weapons under the guidance of another cat-man, and said with a smile:

"Is there a cane?"

"Yes meow, love follows me meow."

Under the guidance of the Ragdoll Cat Man, Ye Yiyi soon saw a long metal cane.
