Synopsis

Chapter 1 - 1. Dragon Stone Town

The Central Plains Continent was a continent that had Three Kingdoms and one of them was the Eternal Sun Kingdom. A place with the sky as the roof and the earth as the base. A beauty that is blessed by Heaven.

Soil fertility makes people prosperous, this can be seen from the many large cities that were formed and the arrival of traders in almost all corners of the place. It felt like the empire was at its golden peak.

It's just, like a leaf that can't stay green --- Human life too. Happiness and sadness, life and death, always have their destiny.

How strong is a kingdom...

How beautiful and majestic a city is...

How prosperous and happy one's life is... There will be a point where one's shortcomings appear. Even a city as big as Long Shi in the Eternal Sun Empire was like that.

Long Shi City, another name for Stone Dragon City, was the most extraordinarily majestic and famous place in the Eternal Sun Empire's territory. In the middle of the night, the large market in Long Shi City was still very crowded. The screams of a young woman were even muffled by the bustle of the market.

Four men were chasing the woman, she repeatedly screamed for help while running for safety. The tears and blood dripping down her sleeves made her look very pitiful.

"Please..! Please someone save me..! Please..!" her voice was already hoarse, she was so desperate. Even amid a bustling market and when a lot of people started paying attention---none of them wanted to help.

"Please...! Please save me..!"

Let alone helping, some people even ran to avoid the woman as she approached. No one wants to get involved in other people's problems. They prefer to look away and pretend they don't see it.

"Help me..! Master, help me..!" the woman grabbed the hand of a man who looked big and strong. She pleaded and seemed to be almost at the limit of her strength.

The woman felt that the big man in silvery-white clothes would help her. Unfortunately, when the man turned his head, the young woman was immediately greeted with a fierce face and an expression of disgust.

"You bitch! How dare you touch me with your dirty hands!" Wang Gao Chen pushed hard against the body of the woman who accidentally touched his hand. He came to the market to calm his irritated heart, but a strange and dirty woman came to disturb him instead.

The woman fell with her back hit the edge of the table full of fruit, before finally hitting the ground. She groaned in pain as her body shook violently. Why isn't anyone helping?

The four men who were previously chasing were now almost approaching her. The woman thought her life would be saved by taking advantage of the hustle and bustle of the market, but it turned out to be completely useless.

"Young Master Wang? What happened?" a young man in the same clothes as Wang Gao Chen came over, he was holding a sword in his right hand.

"Who's she?" the man's brows furrowed, but his tone remained relaxed.

"Hmph, nothing important. Let's go," Wang Gao Cheng sauntered over with his sleeves fluttering. The two of them just walked away ignoring the sobs of the weak woman who asked for help.

When he had just taken a few steps, suddenly a white light shot out and hit Wang Gao Chen's chest. The big man didn't have time to dodge, he bounced off and hit the table full of vegetables.

Silhouettes of thin cloth on a straw hat (Douli) can be seen breaking the air accompanied by graceful footsteps on the ground. In the light of the market, a man in pure white clothes stood right in front of Wang Gao Chen's colleague. Slowly starting to show the lines of her face are smooth and charming.

"That slut..! Let's catch her..!" the exclamation of one of the men who had previously been chased was heard. But with just a flick of a hand, they were thrown in the same state as Wang Gao Chen.

!!

"..."

Everyone, including the woman who was previously injured witnessed this unexpected event. The assailant was none other than a man dressed in a white robe.

"You..!" Wang Gao Chen's comrade growled furiously. The man then drew his sword and dashed off to attack. The exchange of gestures only lasted a moment before he also crashed into the door of a tavern.

The young man who was still wearing a Douli began to walk calmly towards the woman who had been lying on the ground. He moved the sword in his right hand before reaching out to the woman.

"Miss, can you stand up?" the man's voice was soft, warm, and soothing. He has smooth and sincere hand lines.

The young woman looked up. Behind the blur of tears---she tried to see the face of her savior as she stretched out her hand.

"Sir.." the woman's voice was weak, she was helped to stand up. In heart was very grateful because there were still people who wanted to help.

"Insolent..! You're looking for trouble!" one of the men vomited blood and pointed at the person who dared to attack him. He ordered his other three comrades to stand up and help him get rid of anyone who dared to interfere in their affairs.

"Kill him..!"

"..."

As the opponent started rushing towards him, the young man took out his white robe and gently wrapped the body of the woman he was helping. He also spoke softly, "Miss. Stay behind me,"

The woman was surprised by the treatment given to her. Before she could react, the youth immediately shot out and a one-on-four battle ensued. Several merchants who were at the location screamed and immediately ran for safety.

Wang Gao Chen himself seemed to growl in annoyance. He drew his sword and joined the fight. He couldn't stand the humiliating treatment he had just received.

The young man who wore Daoli on his head had a black-bladed sword. His every move was measured, graceful, and gapless. He was so calm facing the four men even when others joined in.

"Damn it! We don't have a problem with you?!" a man cursed as his right arm was slashed by the opponent's sword.

"Getting into trouble... is my job,"

"Tch! It turns out that only people are tired of living. Don't blame us if your head is missing!" curse another man.

Wang Gao Chen didn't want to care about the interests of these four people he should be able to avenge the treatment of the young man who attacked him for no reason. He was even very serious about swinging the sword.

The Daoli that the youth was wearing was flung upwards while bouncing to dodge Wang Gao Chen's attack. Now the outline of her face, golden eyes, and the bridge of her charming nose are visible.

The young man in white clothes, with long flowing hair, was none other than Liu Xing Sheng. He was a traveler who had just arrived in Long Shi City and was already engaged in battle.

Liu Xing Sheng stomped his foot and grabbed his Daoli before the straw hat fell. He put it back on, just before another attack came.
