Chapter 211: Quiet Room at the Bottom of the Mountain
“What are you thinking about, spacing out like that?” Bai Xiaotian noticed and interrupted his thoughts with a remark.
“Nothing, the dream was just too real. I haven’t quite snapped out of it yet,” Shen Luo answered, half truthfully and half deceitfully.
“Alright, stop thinking. Go freshen up first. After breakfast, I’ll take you around Jianye City for a good roam,” Bai Xiaotian said, slapping Shen Luo’s shoulder with a chuckle.
Originally, Shen Luo didn’t fancy going out, and preferred to stay indoors to try practicing the skills he’d learned in his dream. But seeing Bai Xiaotian’s enthusiasm, he didn’t want to let him down, so he nodded in agreement.
After breakfast, Bai Xiaotian and Shen Luo ventured out, accompanied by Green Sleeve, the eccentric and whimsical girl.
They spent half the day out and about. Green Sleeve proved to be a better host than Bai Xiaotian, demonstrating a deep knowledge of all the fun and delicious happenings in Jianye City, dragging the two men to each spot one by one.
... Seeing the bustling and prosperous surroundings, Shen Luo couldn’t help but recall Feng Chi City, guarded to the death by Yu Meng, Yu Yan and the others. He also thought of Longevity Village and Mount Fangcun, the places he had just left.
He understood well that under the impending Demonic Tribulation, all this prosperity was but an ephemeral dream. For the first time, he found himself wishing, if only he could withstand the Demonic Tribulation.
But how could he possibly make a difference when even the deeply rooted Immortal Sect of Mount Fangcun couldn’t withstand the Demonic Tribulation?
