Mingyuan City was a small city established by Mingyuan Jiandi after he betrayed the humans. In terms of size, it was about the same as a county-level city before the Apocalypse.
Mingyuan City was located on the ruins of Guilin City. It was the entrance to a naturally formed dimensional rift. As long as one entered the rift, they would be able to enter the world of Mingyuan City.
However, this city didn't have thick and huge walls like the human base cities. It didn't even have a small fence. The entire city was completely open, just like a normal city before the Apocalypse … This was because neither the humans nor the Yuan Kou had taken the initiative to attack Mingyuan City. If the two of them wanted to attack, Mingyuan City wouldn't be able to resist.
Mingyuan City's structure was very strange. Not only did some Yuan Kou live in Mingyuan City, but there were also some humans living here. The Yuan Kou and humans lived very peacefully, which was rare. There were no disputes. This puzzled the humans. They didn't know why this was happening.
When Guhan stepped into Mingyuan City, Guhan suddenly figured out the reason.
The moment he entered Mingyuan City, Guhan was surprised to find that his restless desire to kill all humans, including Song Yifei, had been completely suppressed. It was as if it had completely disappeared.
This caused Gu Han to be greatly surprised.
At the same time, because Yuan Kou and humans could live together peacefully, Mingyuan City naturally had a commercial nature. Some fearless human merchants or even some sword bearers would sneak into Mingyuan City and trade with Yuan Kou … They would trade items that only humans could produce for items that were extremely precious to humans from Yuan Kou.
It was said that one could even buy some Natural Sword Maidens in Mingyuan City. These were left behind by the sword bearers who died in the hands of Yuan Kou. Natural Sword Maidens were useless to Yuan Kou, so it was better to trade them for some human-made electronic equipment or exquisite food. Yuan Kou also liked hovercrafts … Yuan Kou had no way of opening the dimensional pockets of humans. Yuan Kou couldn't take out the things inside, so he could only trade with some human merchants.
It was also worth mentioning that Dimensional Pockets were also the favorite trade item of human merchants. If these Dimensional Pockets were handed over to the Sword Committee, they could be exchanged for a sizable reward. After all, the materials needed to make Dimensional Pockets were getting fewer and fewer. Moreover, after the Sword Committee opened the Dimensional Pockets, they could often obtain many unexpected and precious items.
It was precisely because of such an important commercial nature that humans and Yuan Kou urgently needed such transactions. This was how Mingyuan City managed to survive in the gap between the two.
As the city lord, Mingyuan Jiandi adopted an indifferent attitude towards this. However, there was only one condition. Unless they had Mingyuan Jiandi's approval, humans and Yuan Kou were not allowed to stay in Mingyuan City for more than a week. Otherwise, they would be driven away. If they didn't leave, they would be killed on the spot.
After entering Mingyuan City, Guhan found that there were no high-rise buildings in the city at all. The tallest residential building was only a three-storey building. Moreover, this small building was made of wood … There were no traces of cement in the entire city. Even the roads were paved with bluestone.
When he first arrived at Mingyuan City, Guhan thought that he had traveled back more than a thousand years to the medieval era.
Thanks to his five years of living in another dimensional world, Guhan had a very good understanding of human culture and history that had disappeared for a long time. He was no longer the unlucky child who had been scourged by the Great Cultural Collapse and was full of all kinds of ridiculous fallacies.
At this time, Mingyuan City was very deserted. Apart from some humans and Yuankou who were peeking their heads out of the houses, there were very few pedestrians on the streets. It was as if winter had arrived in Mingyuan City.
"Since the resurrection of the 12th Zu Wu, Mingyuan City has become like this. Without human caravans and Yuan Kou's reluctance to come here, the whole city has naturally become deserted.
But this is good. Mingyuan City is still the most beautiful after it has become deserted. Only in Mingyuan City can one see the endless, beautiful scenery without walls. If possible, I really hope to live in Mingyuan City forever, "Song Yifei said with a sigh.
"Understood!"
Gu Han nodded. "This is a place that is truly suitable for humans to live in. Base cities and whatnot are all deformed and distorted worlds.
If there is no Yuan Kou in this world, then there should be many small cities like Mingyuan City! "
"There is no Yuan Kou … How can there not be …" Song Yifei sighed. He then pointed to the tallest building in the center of Mingyuan City, which was a seven-storey wooden pagoda. "That is where my master lives. She is waiting for you there. Let's go!"
"Okay!"
Gu Han nodded his head. He didn't fear the Netheriris Sword Emperor, but he was curious. Just what kind of existence was this traitor of the human race that had been praised and criticized so much?
Although Guhan had met Mingyuan Jiandi 20 years ago, Guhan didn't have the time to see Mingyuan Jiandi's true face. He only knew that she was a beautiful woman. Now, Guhan could finally get close to this legendary existence.
…
Unlike Jiandi's palace, which had a large number of servants and maids, there were not many people in this Mingyuan Tower. Apart from a sleepy old man on the first floor and a few workers with hammers and screws, who were repairing the Mingyuan Tower on their way upstairs, there was no one else.
As if he could see the doubt in Guhan's mind, Song Yifei added, "My master lives a very simple life. She rarely comes out of the tower, so she doesn't need servants to serve her. No one can assassinate her. Therefore, the carpenters who repair the tower are the most common people in the Mingyuan Tower."
"It is said that these carpenters are the descendants of the carpenters who built the Mingyuan Tower. They have been living here for generations, and they have long gotten used to life in Mingyuan City, where there is no war or danger. Sometimes, I think they are the luckiest people, even luckier than the sword bearers. The peace they enjoy from generation to generation is a kind of happiness that we humans can never understand!" Song Yifei said.
"If your master is really like what you said, why did she try to bewitch Yi Wenjun?
Why did she bring you here and kill Liu Anna?
He even wanted to kill Liu Anna. That's not what a person who wants to live a peaceful life would do! "Gu Han was not confused by Song Yifei's words, but said coldly.
"Why are you like this?
I am willing to be my master's apprentice, just like your precious apprentice.
By killing Liu Anna, his master just wanted to take back what belonged to him.
As for Yi Wenjun … as for Yi Wenjun … "Song Yifei could not continue to argue when it came to Yi Wenjun, because he did not know how to defend Yi Wenjun.
"Yes, I did want Yi Wenjun to kill Lu Xihua, but that's all in the past. I don't have any intention to kill Lu Xihua now. You can ask Yi Fei about this. If I didn't make a move in the past four years, Lu Xihua would have been long dead!"
A cold voice suddenly came from the top of the pagoda. Gu Han raised his head and saw a beautiful woman who looked to be about 35 years old walking down. She was dressed in white and had a pair of white jade-like feet. She looked like she was about 35 years old.
"Your Majesty Mingyuan Jiandi!" Guhan bowed slightly to Mingyuan Jiandi. That was all.
"Your Majesty Mingyuan Jiandi!"
Song Yifei directly bowed to Mingyuan Jiandi. After all, he was her master.
"Since you're here, come in with me. I can answer any questions you have!
Mr. Pacifier! "
Mingyuan Jiandi said lightly. Guhan was shocked. Mingyuan Jiandi actually knew the words "Pacifier". It seemed that Mingyuan Jiandi knew more than he thought.
The Mystic Iris Sword Emperor's room was located on the highest floor of the pagoda. The entire floor was split into seven or eight rooms. None of the doors were closed. Gu Han noticed that one of them was a bedroom with a television, and the other was a spacious room used for sword practice. The rest of the rooms were filled with all sorts of entertainment equipment, such as treadmills, dance machines, claw machines, computers, virtual reality helmets, and so on. Almost all of the common entertainment equipment for humans could be found here. Moreover, it was very complete. There was even a movie room that was specially set up for movies. The equipment used to play movies was the highest quality that humans had ever seen.
"I don't like to go out. I always find something to do at home, so do these things make you feel strange?" Mingyuan Jiandi said lightly.
"Understandable!"
Guhan shrugged. Then, under the leadership of Mingyuan Jiandi, they entered the middle room.
In this room, there were no messy things like the previous rooms. There were only a few rattan chairs, a rattan tea table, a teapot, and a few teacups.
The only thing that made Guhan feel a little strange was probably a black crystal suspended on the ceiling of this room. In this black crystal, Guhan could clearly feel a pressure, which was suppressing the filthy desire in his body.
