In the darkness, the first ray of light shone down from the ravine, brightening up the land and dispersing the darkness.
Li Tan and the rest of the thousand people were stunned by the sunlight. The light was unstoppable. When the nothingness dissipated, the streets and alleys of the Nightless City came into view.
Li Tan almost choked with sobs as he said, "It's, it's really broken?
The curse that has plagued Nightless City for three years is really broken? "
The Undying Taoist smiled in relief. "This way, we did not let down the late emperor."
"Little brother, you are the benefactor of Nightless City. I … I, I really don't know how to thank you." Li Tan was so emotional that he was incoherent.
However, Qin Shi merely smiled in response. After meeting Zhen Yuan this time, his temperament seemed to have risen by another level. He shook his head, "Don't be anxious, city lord. Let's return to the palace first. I'll help young master Minghao out of his predicament."
"What?"
Li Tan was overjoyed. He grabbed Qin Shi and said, "You, you mean, Minghao, Minghao can be saved?"
Qin Shi smiled and nodded without saying a word. Li Tan's old body trembled when he saw this. Even though he was respected by thousands of people, nothing was more important to a man in his fifties than the recovery of his descendants.
At this moment, Zhao Gojian ran over from outside the city. When he saw this, his entire body turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, this kid really did it."
As for Zhao Gojian, Qin Shi had a flash of inspiration. He exchanged glances with the Undying Daoist, and the latter seemed to agree with his idea. He said, "By the way, City Lord, before that, I'd like to resolve my conflict with the Zhao Clan. After all, I don't have the confidence to be constantly watched by the Zhao Clan Lord."
"Hmm?"
Li Tan was stunned. Then, he raised his head proudly and turned to glare at Zhao Gojian. "Zhao family head, what else do you have to say?"
"I …!"
"What about you? Do you really think I'm stupid all these years?
Ever since something happened to Minghao, Zhao Tianyun has been boasting about being the Number One Young Master of Nightless City. He's been bullying people and taking advantage of women. Do you think I don't know about this? "
Li Tan's voice was stern. When he released his king's aura, Zhao Gojian quickly bowed. "Lord, I know my mistake."
"Then hurry up and apologize to Brother Qin!"
"I …!"
Zhao Guojian was filled with hatred, but due to the city lord's pressure, he still lowered his head unwillingly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Before, it was my Zhao family's fault. I hope that Brother Qin can forgive us and not lower ourselves to our level."
Hearing this, Qin Shi cheered in his heart. He clapped his hands in satisfaction and strode toward the governor's mansion. Li Tan, the Undying Taoist and the rest looked at each other and quickly followed.
Only a resentful Zhao Gojian was left. He clenched his fists tightly. He never expected such an outcome. This time, he really suffered a double loss. After this incident, it would be difficult for his Zhao family to stand out in Nightless City.
"Kid, I won't let you off!" Zhao Gojian's resentment rose to the sky.
An hour later, at the governor's mansion.
Qin Shi, Li Tan, and the rest returned to the mansion. Little Mi Cai actually jumped out of the hall happily. "Daddy?
Where did you go? "
Qin Shi was speechless. He had risked his life and this little girl only cared about playing. She didn't even know about it?
Sigh, what a pitiful parent's heart. And this wasn't the most exaggerated thing. The most exaggerated thing was that Murphy was looking at the Undying Daoist pitifully under Mi Cai's crotch. Even Qin Shi's heart ached when he saw that grievance.
"This little girl!"
Qin Shi looked at the Undying Taoist helplessly.
The Undying Taoist seemed to be used to it. He smiled bitterly. "Sigh, alright, alright. Brother Qin, you don't have to say anymore. You can cure Minghao. If you want me to suffer a little, then so be it. It's just that I have to suffer a little."
"I'll go now. I'll go now."
Qin Shi laughed dryly and pulled Xiao Mi Cai down from Murphy's body. He then walked towards the long corridor and said, "Stupid lass, follow me. I will settle the score with you later!"
"I'm not going. I'm having fun. Why are you grabbing me?" Little Mi Cai puffed up her cheeks. She was actually unhappy.
Qin Shi felt helpless. In the end, it was Li Tan who stopped him. He smiled. "Brother Qin, go ahead. Leave this little girl to me. I'll arrange a few maidservants to keep her company. Don't worry."
"I …!"
Qin Shishi's teeth trembled. This lass was really too playful and didn't care about anything else. He stared at Xiao Mi Cai and said, "When this ends, I will settle the score with you."
"Lalala!"
Little Mi Cai didn't care. She pinched her breasts and stuck her tongue out at Qin Shi.
"This is infuriating."
Qin Shi tried his best to control himself. He told himself that he wouldn't stoop to Little Mi Cai's level. He then turned around and walked towards the corridor.
When he passed by the Desolate Geocentric Milk, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"When I return, I'll be able to get the third herb for Sister Yu."
"Mm, this ends. The auction in the merchant city is going to be held soon. That way, I'll be able to get the fourth herb."
"I hope it goes smoothly. I hope there won't be any more accidents in the merchant city."
Qin Shi's worries weren't groundless. The past few experiences told him that nothing was easy on this continent. Everything was difficult. The Nightless City had caused him to make too many mistakes.
But this was also good. At least with his current state, he dared to say that no matter how difficult it was in the merchant city, he would be able to face it calmly.
"Alright, look at how impatient you are. Hurry up and wake Li Minghao up. Then, we'll rush to the merchant city." The Blood Magus laughed.
Qin Shi rubbed his head. He retracted his gaze from the Desolate Geocentric Milk. Then, he took a step forward and darted towards Li Minghao's room like an arrow.
After three days, the hole created by Qin Shi had been repaired. Li Minghao was still unconscious. Beside him were three maidservants who were taking turns to take care of him.
"Young Master Qin."
Among the three, one of them was the maidservant who led Qin Shi. When she saw Qin Shi, she hurriedly stood up to welcome him.
Qin Shi gestured for her to not stand on ceremony. He then looked towards Li Minghao. "Alright, all of you can leave. Leave this place to me."
"Yes." The maidservant tidied up and left the room.
After the three of them left, Qin Shi waved his hand and sent out a gust of wind, closing the door. After that, he walked to Li Minghao's side. Li Minghao was lying on the bed with his eyes squinted. His face was still as innocent and tender as before. He had not been tainted by the mortal world and was so clean.
For a moment, Qin Shi even wondered if he should let his soul stay in a deep sleep like this, always so clean?
Why should he wake up and suffer the deception of this mortal world?
"Buzz!"
But suddenly, a wisp of green light rose from the bed and gently pulled Qin Shi, causing Qin Shi to be slightly stunned. He looked down and saw that the green light was actually extending from Li Minghao's body. "Are you trying to tell me that you want to wake up?"
"Buzz!"
The green light became especially intense, as if it was responding to Qin Shi.
This caused Qin Shi to frown. Even the Blood Shaman was surprised. "This kid has such strong willpower. The Stinky Lung Spirit of the Shrouding Heaven Demon has just been dispelled, and he can already control his soul and establish a tiny connection with the outside world. What kind of faith is this?"
"His faith comes from his kindness, from the people of this Nightless City."
And suddenly, Qin Shi let out a long sigh. Because in the green light just now, he actually saw some blurry illusions, and in that picture was a bustling Nightless City.
In the picture, the Nightless City was peaceful and quiet. People were full of trust. Everything was so harmonious, as if countless people were looking forward to a world of great unity that violated human nature. If the current mortal world was like purgatory, then the world outlined in the green light would be heaven.
"Alright, since you want it so much, then use your kindness to benefit this world. I hope that in the future, when the world is in chaos, the Nightless City you built will be the last paradise in the mortal world."
Qin Shi murmured in his heart. Then, he finally raised his hand and telekinesis jumped out from his fingertips, pouring into the space between Li Minghao's eyebrows.
In Li Minghao's sea of consciousness, there was still the dark sea of purgatory fire. But this time, without the pressure of the Stinky Lung Spirit, Qin Shi easily broke through the raging fire and found the prison that imprisoned Li Minghao's soul.
Outside the prison, Qin Shi circulated the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Technique. Golden phoenix claws forcefully reached down, sweeping up a fierce wind from the prison. After dozens of continuous attacks, the prison finally shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into powder.
In an instant, the darkness was dispelled. Li Minghao's soul was so pure, so pure that even Qin Shi felt dazzled by it. He left the sea of consciousness in admiration.
When he retracted his telekinesis, Li Tan and the others had already followed him into the room. Behind him, they were full of anticipation. When they saw Qin Shi open his eyes, they scrambled to ask, "Brother Qin, how is my son?"
"Yes, how is Young Master Li?"
"Has he recovered?"
Even Qin Shi could feel the sincerity in their words. He turned around and chuckled. "Don't worry. I think it won't be long before Nightless City will welcome a wise ruler with a heart so kind that it will make others admire him."
"Re-really?"
That short sentence had already expressed its meaning. Countless people were overjoyed. Li Tan did not care about his status as the City Lord and rushed forward to hug Minghao.
The Undying Taoist's eyes were also filled with tears. He raised his head and said, "Old City Lord, do you see that?
God is watching over Minghao. Minghao has recovered. Minghao has recovered. "
