Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty's entire southern landscape is exquisitely beautiful, full of water sources, and can be considered a land of fish and rice. Compared to the northern spirit of boldness, the south is more refined.

Whether it's clothing, speech, or architectural style of the cities, all manifest this refinement.

Liang Yi and the others made some simple changes to their appearances and stepped directly into the capital of this Jiangnan Water Town.

"Senior Brother, look at this···"

"Senior Brother, look at that···"

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother····"

One of Su Youyi's hands was pulling Liang Yi, while her expression was one of excitement as she looked around. Her other hand was pointing enthusiastically at many novel things.

She had now visited three of the four great cities, and today was filling in the last. And every time, she toured them with her Senior Brother, which to her felt like a predestined ceremonial experience, making the current Su Youyi even more excited.

Liang Yi was not the least bit impatient, although this city, for him, was still one he could navigate with his eyes closed. But there is a world of difference between strolling through beautiful scenery alone and touring it with a loved one.

Relying on wealth, if they saw delicious food, they bought it! Fun things to play with, they bought it! And if they encountered any novelty they had never seen before, they bought it!

Before long, Su Youyi's hands were full of various Jiangnan specialty pastries. Not just Su Youyi, but Grandpa Orange and Liu Rouxin behind her had their hands full too, and even Zhou Yuqing couldn't help but curiously taste a piece of the new-style pastry she hadn't seen before.

Liang Yi was now quite the rich man! As the Sect Leader of the Purple Cloud Sect, could he care about such expenditures?

Su Youyi chattered all the way about everything she had never seen before, and Liang Yi was also listening patiently.

Unlike the high-rises in the West Capital or Beidu, the buildings in Fuchao City, though tall, were considered low compared to other places. Yet what one loses on the swings, one gains on the roundabouts. The architectural style here could be deemed the most visually pleasing among the four great capitals.

Now as Liang Yi and his group strolled down the main street, a casual glance around made them feel that even just looking at every building in this city would not be dull.

"These buildings are constructed with a pattern, look closely···" After finishing a piece of pastry and wiping the corner of her mouth clean, Zhou Yuqing suddenly spoke up.

"Hm?" Liang Yi and Su Youyi ahead paused, released their Divine Sense outward, and took a momentary aerial perspective to briefly survey the entire Fuchao City. Only then did they notice something different.

"Is this an Array?" Liang Yi retracted his Divine Sense somewhat hesitantly and turned to Zhou Yuqing.

Seeing Zhou Yuqing nod decisively without any denial.

Su Youyi also realized the difference; these buildings seemed to be constructed according to the pattern determined by some Array, perfectly integrating with the local architectural style.

"It must be a protective city Array. Come on, let's go buy some stuff at Wind God Commerce." Liang Yi wasn't very interested in this kind of thing. It seemed like the players from his previous life never noticed this pattern.

"Let's go, let's go! I hate being in such crowded places meow." Grandpa Orange really disliked crowded places and wished he could disappear immediately.

"Alright, alright." Liang Yi was somewhat helpless; he still wanted to accompany his Junior Sister for a while longer.

"It's okay, we'll have plenty of time to explore later." Su Youyi didn't mind at all and turned around to give him a sweet smile.

"Then you guys go ahead, I still have some things to do here. Let's meet up at the Transmission Array later." Zhou Yuqing didn't continue following Liang Yi and the others, and after saying a few words, disappeared without a trace.

"Miss here is going to inspect the Blood Control Sect's outpost in Fuchao City. Let's also meet up at the Transmission Array." Zhou Yuqing was almost driven mad by the nagging voice of Xue Youyou in her Sea of Consciousness, clamoring for the new book. Now, seizing the opportunity, she hurried to buy more.

"Oh, okay then." Liang Yi had yet to react and those who stood on the street were now reduced to just the two of them and a cat.

"···" Grandpa Orange wore the face of a dead fish.

Is this what it means to make me a third wheel?

"Uh, maybe I should go too..." Grandpa Orange intended to seize the opportunity to slip away, eager for some unrestricted fun.

He knew nothing about Yihong House in the south of the city, the top card of Ningxin Pavilion, or the fragrant tea fairies of Fengming Courtyard, nor did he yearn for the experience of listening to music while being fed little fish snacks.

It was his first time visiting Fuchao City; how could he possibly have heard so much gossip from the locals in such a short period of time?

No way, no way, it can't be true that there's a cat out on the streets, ears perked up, eavesdropping on conversations?

But his idea of fleeing was swiftly and mercilessly rejected by Liang Yi, who understood Grandpa Orange all too well.

The moment that silly cat's rump went up, he knew exactly what kind of trouble it was plotting! There was no way he would let this guy go out and stir up trouble.

"Meow..." Grandpa Orange drooped his ears, his vigor, spirit, and energy instantly vanished, reducing him to nothing more than a limp fish.

"Haha." Su Youyi couldn't help but laugh at Grandpa Orange's exaggerated demeanor.

"Senior brother, why don't we let Grandpa Orange go out for a stroll by himself?" Su Youyi, moved by compassion, suggested as she looked at the dispirited figure of Grandpa Orange.

"Don't mind him; you know all too well his talent for causing trouble. If he's out, he's bound to stir up a mess." Liang Yi's eyes held a knowing wisdom; he was all too familiar with raising cats.

Even the cats he had kept in his past life would act cute and pitiful to coax him into giving them little fish treats. Grandpa Orange, who was clever and crafty, was definitely up to something with this act.

"Okay then..." Su Youyi, though eager to spend time alone with her senior brother and wishing everyone else would just disappear, had to accept his opinion and ignore Grandpa Orange since her senior brother had spoken.

"I remember that Fuchao City is guarded by the Second Prince, right?" Su Youyi suddenly recalled something and curiously turned to her senior brother.

"Correct, Zhou Zuixi, the Second Prince of Xuanzhou's Immortal Dynasty, left Qingliang quite early to take charge of Fuchao," Liang Yi nodded. He was quite familiar with this low-profile Prince, having had numerous dealings with him for missions.

"That guy is talented and not inferior to Zhou Wudao, but he has a love for wine and cares little for power and status."

Liang Yi briefly shared what he knew about Zhou Zuixi with his junior sister.

"There really are Princes who aren't interested in the throne, huh."

Su Youyi strolled through the streets, popping small, delicious Spirit Fruits from her leather pouch into her mouth like snacks. These fruits were crispy, sweet, and carried a faint ability to restore Spiritual Energy, making them perfect for snacking while listening to stories.

Thinking of Zhou Zuixi, who stayed indoors all day, Liang Yi shrugged helplessly and said, "There are all sorts of wonders in this vast world; perhaps it's just in his nature."

In his previous life, gamers didn't believe it either and thought Zhou Zuixi was planning a strategic withdrawal from Imperial City, amassing power in secret to strike at a critical moment, overthrow Zhou Wudao, and seize the right to the throne through a plot from behind the scenes.

However, after continuous probing by the gamers, they discovered that he seemed genuinely lazy and reclusive.

When a player who had raised their favorability with fine wine asked Zhou Zuixi directly why he was like this, many were left in tears of laughter at his response.

The reason was that being an Emperor was too exhausting, dealing with all matters of the court every day, and constantly engaging in wits and bravery with other ministers. Just the thought of it almost caused the salted-fish-aspiring Zhou Zuixi to collapse, leading him to leave Qingliang overnight, planning never to return.

"Should we go and pay a visit to this Second Prince?" Su Youyi remembered that they had a pretty good relationship with Zhou Wudao, and since they had come to his younger brother's territory, it seemed polite to give a greeting.

"No, don't. It's precisely because we're on good terms with Zhou Wudao that we shouldn't go to Zhou Zuixi." Liang Yi shook his head hurriedly, stopping his junior sister's dangerous suggestion.

"Huh? Are the two brothers not on good terms?" Su Youyi was a little puzzled.

"Uh... well, that's kind of a long story." Liang Yi's face showed a conflicted expression, finding the brothers' grudge somewhat ludicrous to think about.
