In the bustling harbor of Fangting City, amid a dense throng of people, passengers and cargo moved along their respective paths in an orderly fashion. Beneath this prospering scene, no one noticed a pitch-black figure seamlessly blending into the crowd.
Yuan, dressed in her tattered Taoist robe with a bundle in her arm and the Fairy she called "Semi" perched on her shoulder, strolled aimlessly through the harbor.
"It sure doesn't look like a small place, Fangting."
As if talking to herself, she said, "I heard it was just a small city in the southeast of the Donghua Region, but it's hardly distinguishable from the big cities in my memory."
"How many years has it been since you last visited the cities in the material realm?"
Semi glanced at her: "Thirty years? Fifty years? Human cities aren't stagnant; they develop, and over so many years, they're bound to have expanded."
"Hmm... I forgot."
