Capítulo 2155: Chapter 2154: City Lord Seeks a Son-in-Law, The Myriad of Living Beings Is Most Beautiful

This is a scene unique to the Blazing Flame Realm.

Ten suns illuminate the firmament.

In contrast, it doesn’t make people uncomfortable; instead, the locals thoroughly enjoy this temperature.

Because the beings living in this part of the world belong to the Fire Tribe.

Only the Fire Tribe can withstand such high temperatures.

Xu Zimei looked at the sun and determined some directions.

Only then did he begin his journey.

He was now deep on an official road.

Although the Fire Tribe is a race, just like the human race, its forces are complex, spanning Immortal Gates and Imperial Sects, across vast lands.

However, unlike the human race, the Fire Tribe has its own common lord, known as Candle Dragon.

Candle Dragon does not intervene in the various factions.

But if anything happens, the entire Fire Tribe must obey his commands.

Because Candle Dragon is the supreme being of the Fire Tribe.

His power is recognized by the whole Fire Tribe.

……

Xu Zimei walked on the official road,

which was bustling with traffic, but most were tall and robust Fire Tribe people with deep red skin.

Occasionally, there were other races, but very few.

Especially humans, who are a rarity in the Blazing Flame Realm.

As Xu Zimei walked along, he attracted a lot of attention.

Among them were some bold Fire Tribe women who smiled and shouted at Xu Zimei, “Do you want to be my husband?”

Xu Zimei ignored them all.

In fact, he was somewhat familiar with the current situation of the Blazing Flame Realm.

Though there is constant conflict among the Fire Tribe, they are ultimately a unified whole.

Currently, the Fire Tribe’s power is split into seven.

These seven forces are the most powerful in the Blazing Flame Realm.

Other forces either depend on the seven major forces or stay away from conflicts.

Xu Zimei was currently located at one of the seven major forces: Baori Sect.

They inherit the Baori Great Bright Flame.

This flame, during the day, harnesses the power of the sun to reach its strongest point.

However, at night, with the sunset and moonrise, its power greatly diminishes.

The advantages and disadvantages of the flame are clear.

The Baori Sect has twelve subordinate forces.

These forces must provide resources as prescribed annually to receive Baori Sect’s protection.

Xu Zimei currently stood before a city.

The three large characters ‘River Sun City’ caught his eye, and the flame above the characters was blazing fiercely.

Aside from the vast city walls, River Sun City had a unique scenery.

This was the Yang River.

The Yang River runs north along the city, creating a large loop, even dividing River Sun City into two.

And this Yang River is truly a river of fire.

Because what flows within it is not water, but flames.

Dense magma corrodes everything it touches.

The intense heat from those flames is such that an ordinary person would find their skin peeling away if they came near.

However, these Fire Tribe frequently jump into the river to bathe.

Being of the Fire Tribe, they have a natural resistance and affinity for flames.

They are quite adverse to water flow.

The saying ‘water and fire cannot coexist’ refers to this situation.

Xu Zimei walked inside River Sun City, which was bustling today.

Colorful lights, people coming and going.

There was even the beating of gongs and drums, lion dance, and tiger brawl, all very lively.

……

“Today is the day the City Lord’s daughter seeks a suitor, and the City Lord has declared that he’s reserved all the taverns in the city.”

“Anyone coming to River Sun City can eat and drink for free.”

“Fantastic! I heard people from thirty-six surrounding cities have come. What a huge expense!”

On the edge of the city, passers-by were talking among themselves.

Someone fanning themselves with their head swaying said, “You just don’t understand the life of the wealthy.”

“I’m telling you, whoever has the chance to become the City Lord’s son-in-law will be soaring to great heights.”

“The City Lords of Yang Sect’s thirty-six cities are the true core disciples of Yang Sect.

To be recommended by the City Lord into Yang Sect is the real great opportunity.”

“Your information is outdated. I heard the City Lord’s daughter is as beautiful as a flower, a Heavenly Immortal figure.”

“Even if there weren’t those opportunities, marrying such a lady would be worth it even at life’s end.”

“In that sense, marrying is only profitable, no loss!”

Everyone was discussing, but Xu Zimei didn’t pay attention.

His current target was Candle Dragon.

But before seeing Candle Dragon, he wanted to walk through the seven major forces.

To see this vast and beautiful landscape of the Fire Domain.

This is the realization of the heart’s cultivation.

Practicing cultivation is easy, refining the heart is difficult.

The best place to refine the heart is amidst the red dust.

If you want to become a strong person, finding a deserted place and sitting in oblivion for ten thousand years may not yield much.

But amidst the red dust, perhaps a person or an event might enlighten you greatly.

……

Xu Zimei found an inn.

It had been a long time since he had eaten mortal food.

Now, entering the inn, as the smell of cooking filled his nose, even though he had long since stopped consuming food, he still felt hungry.

“What would you like to eat, sir?” asked the waiter.

“Bring all the signature dishes,” Xu Zimei casually tossed a Spirit Stone and replied.

“Alright,” seeing Xu Zimei’s generosity, the waiter’s face turned even more fawning.

The inn was quick, and the atmosphere was bustling.

There were almost no empty seats.

And the dishes arrived quickly, as Xu Zimei ate while observing the lives of these mortals.

They busied themselves, yet ultimately it was all empty.

Ordinary people live lives full of difficulties.

Just then, someone walked in from outside the inn.

It was a gentleman with a face as fair as jade, elegant and charismatic.

When he entered, he looked at the crowded inn with a slight frown.

“What would you like to eat, sir?” a waiter asked.

“Is there nowhere quiet here?” the gentleman asked.

“These days, with the City Lord’s daughter seeking a suitor, the crowd has surged, there’s no alternative,” the waiter replied apologetically.

The gentleman looked around several times.

Finally, his gaze fell on Xu Zimei.

He approached and, with a slender voice, said, “Fellow Daoist, may I share a table with you?”

Xu Zimei didn’t refuse.

He actually saw through the fact that the gentleman before him was cross-dressing — merely a woman.

But everyone has their own story, and he was too lazy to inquire or expose it.

After expressing gratitude, the gentleman sat down opposite.

His order was simple, a bowl of plain noodles, and a plate of small dishes.

His eating manner was refined, paying great attention to etiquette.

“Are you here for the City Lord’s daughter too?” Seeing Xu Zimei constantly looking out the window, the gentleman asked curiously.

Xu Zimei shook his head and replied, “I’m just a traveler!”

“Then why do you keep looking out? What’s so interesting outside?” the gentleman asked.

“Everything is interesting, The Myriad of Living Beings is the most fascinating,” Xu Zimei replied.

“When do you plan to leave here, Daoist?” the gentleman asked again.

“Where are you headed, Daoist? How about we travel together?”
