"Brat, brat, stop right there!"
The two guards rushed forward in a panic and stopped Qin Shi, "Brat, if you don't want to die, I advise you to retreat immediately."
The moment those words were spoken, Xiao Mi Cai heard someone calling Qin Shi a brat. Furthermore, there was a threatening tone to it. The violent-tempered girl could not hold it in any longer. She took a step forward and said, "Hey, you two big fellas, do you have any manners?
Who are you calling brat?
If you have the guts, shout it again and I'll hear it! "
"Ah, this little girl, I didn't expect you to have such a fiery temper."
The two guards looked at Xiao Mi Cai's immature look and laughed in disdain. They shouted at Qin Shi, "Brat, I'll shout it. What can you do?"
"You …!"
Xiao Mi Cai's expression changed. Her fist that was clenched between her thighs burst out with light like a rainbow after the rain. She swung her fist at the lower abdomen of the two guards.
When the power was unleashed, even the sky changed color. The two guards were embarrassed and said in shock, "Heaven, Heaven Realm?"
Even Nightless City was divided into different ranks. In the Barren Spirit Continent, there was no place without status. If you had the strength, you would be a Venerable. If you didn't have the strength, you would be trash. In this continent, the most worthless thing was pity.
Evidently, these two guards did not have a high status in Nightless City. Otherwise, they would not have been sent to guard the city gates in the hot summer. They were instantly stunned by Little Mi Cai's actions. The person at the back directly fell to the ground with a thud.
"Great, great aunt, don't hit me. I was wrong, okay?"
"Useless!"
Xiao Mi Cai snorted coquettishly. Her hands did not stop moving. She was determined to teach these two ignorant fellows a lesson.
Pa!
But Qin Shi's eyes and hands were quick. He pressed down on Xiao Mi Cai's fist and used a gentle force to disperse the multicolored light. Only then did the two guards were saved. Instantly, it was as though they had gained a new life. They flipped over and knelt on the ground, apologizing profusely to Qin Shi, "My, my lord, this lowly one knows his mistake. This lowly one had good intentions and did not mean to insult you. Please be magnanimous and forgive us two lackeys."
Staring at the two of them, Qin Shi frowned. From the very beginning, he had felt that something was wrong. When the two of them saw him, although their words were somewhat rude, Qin Shi did not feel any malice from their surroundings. Instead, they were filled with surprise and curiosity. This caused him to be puzzled.
What do you mean? "
"Milord, you may not know this, but the reason why Sleepless City is called Sleepless City is not only because of its beautiful scenery at night, but also because you can't enter the city during the day. Once you do, you'll definitely die." The two guards panicked.
Qin Shi was startled. This was the first time he heard that the city forbade people from entering during the day. He asked with interest, "Why is that so?"
"We don't know either. We only know that everyone who enters the city during the day has disappeared. Not a single person came out alive." The guard shook his head.
From their expressions, it could be determined that they were not lying. But Qin Shi did not understand. It did not make sense for people to disappear during the day.
He couldn't help but raise his head, and when his gaze landed on the city gate, his indifferent gaze paused, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
At this moment, he came to a realization. But he did not say anything. He just pulled Xiao Mi Cai and said, "Little lass, let's go. We will come back at night."
"Ah?"
Xiao Mi Cai pouted. She was obviously unhappy that she did not manage to teach the two guards a lesson. But because she was afraid that Qin Shi would really send her back to Scarlet Flame City, she could only follow behind Qin Shi with a sullen face and walked out of the city.
The two of them stopped in the dense forest outside the city. Qin Shi turned around and looked in the direction of Nightless City. "Hehe, this Li Tan is really generous. He actually set up such a huge Space Barrier outside the city."
The Blood Shaman's voice sounded in his mind. "Indeed. This Space Barrier contains a huge amount of power. Even I cannot guarantee that I can break through it. I just don't know why he made such a huge Space Barrier."
"Let's take a look at it at night."
Qin Shi was also very curious. After that, he sat cross-legged and adjusted the airflow in his body. It was only when the moonlight scattered that he suddenly opened his eyes. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. "Now, I should be able to enter, right?"
In the next second, he and Xiao Mi Cai turned into light and disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already at the city gate of Nightless City. Then, the two of them were shocked by the scene in front of them.
The Nightless City at night was completely different from the day. If not for the same city gate and city walls, Qin Shi would have thought that he had entered the wrong place.
At night, there were colorful lights flashing, and colorful fireworks constantly bloomed from the stars. They were like sweet osmanthus buns in March, full of a strong sense of spring, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
At this moment, the uninhabited streets were filled with a sea of people. Passing through the city gate was the marketplace that was piled with a dazzling array of goods, and there was no lack of rare treasures that even Qin Shi would take a liking to.
"As expected of the Nightless City. The nights here are truly astonishing." Qin Shi snorted inwardly. Only then did he enter the city with Little Mi Cai.
It was just a city, but its grandeur could be compared to a hundred tides.
"I wonder what Li Tan is up to. Why did he seal the Nightless City with a Space Barrier in the day?"
Qin Shi thought to himself. Then, he found a hotel with Xiao Mi Cai and booked two rooms before settling down.
Then, taking advantage of the beautiful night, Xiao Mi Cai asked Qin Shi to accompany her for a walk. Qin Shi initially wanted to reject her as he wanted to adjust his body's condition. But when he saw Xiao Mi Cai's longing eyes, he couldn't bear to reject her.
Xiao Mi Cai had been wandering from place to place ever since she followed him. First, she was severely injured by Burning Sky Sect and Bai Yutang in the northern region of the Burning Sky Sect. Then, they finally met in the desolate forest in the eastern region of the Burning Sky Sect. However, she had never had a peaceful life. First, it was Xuan Temple, then the Kingdom War. Even this time, in the battle with Sacred Wind, she gave her all. As her father, he really didn't do his part.
Although the purpose of this trip was to search for the medicinal herbs to awaken Big Sister Yu and to inquire about the Devouring Sacred Crystal, since he had already chosen to bring Xiaomi along, he might as well accompany this little girl since she was about to return to the Beast Realm.
Furthermore, he had just entered the Nightless City and had to find out some information. After all, he only knew that the Desolate Geocentric Milk was in Li Tan's hands. He didn't know what Li Tan looked like or whether he was a man or a woman.
"Alright, but just for a while. Also, you have to listen to me when we go out. Don't create any trouble."
Qin Shi rubbed Xiao Mi Cai's hair. After hearing Qin Shi's promise, the little girl immediately became spirited and nodded vigorously.
The two of them walked out of the inn and walked along the streets of the Nightless City. When they passed by the market, Xiao Mi Cai was extremely excited as everything she saw was novel. Qin Shi was also happy. Occasionally, when he saw a few exquisite hairpins, he would buy them for Rakshasa, Xue Xin, and Sister Yu. Then, he would keep them in his arms and give them to the three of them when he had the chance.
Although the three of them were not by his side, the only one, Jade In The Book, was always on his waist and was unconscious, he knew that one day, he would bring the three of them to his side like he promised Rakshasa. At that time, he would return to the desolate town and reunite with his family.
And he believed that day would not be too far away.
"Young Master, Young Master, slow down. We can't catch up with you."
Suddenly, a hurried gasp could be heard on the street. Then, there was a commotion in the crowded market.
Qin Shi raised his head. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man with a dignified look and a silly smile on his face broke through the crowd and approached Qin Shi and Xiao Mi Cai.
When the people in the market saw the young man, they frowned and revealed looks of disgust. "Why did Li Minghao come to our market again today?
Didn't he just cause a ruckus here a few days ago? "
"Oh, it's none of your business. Just get out of the way. We can't afford to offend him."
"Sigh, I really don't know how unlucky I am. I've bumped into him three times this month. If this keeps happening, then I really don't want to do business anymore. I might as well not come here anymore."
The peddlers in the market seemed to be very afraid of Li Minghao. When they saw him, they hurriedly retreated. They didn't even care about their stalls.
They retreated, but Li Minghao didn't care about them. He flipped over the stalls one by one and played with the dazzling array of goods. However, any one of them wouldn't last more than five seconds in his hands. He would immediately throw them away and then look for the next treasure that he found interesting.
But the most surprising thing was that in this situation, no one dared to stop him. The peddlers all hid in the corner, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble. Their eyes were filled with annoyance and they hoped that they could send this god of plague away.
Bang!
And just at this moment, a collision sound rang out, causing all the vendors to widen their eyes and look in the direction of the sound. They saw that Li Minghao had crashed into Qin Shi's body, and with a stagger, he fell to the ground.
In the next second, a crowd of unease rose from the eyes of the crowd. One person screamed, "Ah!!!"
"It's over, it's over. Something big is going to happen. Li Minghao actually fell in our market. Then we won't be able to survive."
"This stinking brat, where did this bastard come from?
He didn't dodge when he saw Li Minghao. He even dared to stand there and block Li Minghao's way. Does he want to die? "
"Who knows, this lunatic is going to kill us!"
"Let's go, hurry up. Don't let him see us before the old housekeeper catches up. Otherwise, we really won't have a chance."
