Synopsis

Chapter 1 - People are not as virtuous as in ancient times

At the fathomless abyss, half is filled with a floating sea of clouds. Midway up the cliff clings a colossal tree. There's a path on the tree, and people are coming and going like ants.

Some are in a hurry, flying towards the branches stretching over the vast sea of clouds and landing on leaves as large as boats.

There are also those who are unhurried and walk slowly.

A man in a leather coat has rather messy long hair hanging over his shoulders. His cheeks are stubbled and bluish-black, and his eyes are calm.

He wears a pair of leather boots and limps through the tree hole, looking somewhat down and out.

Emerging from a tree-hole passage in a remote place, the light outside is dazzling.

There are five people standing outside the tree hole. The lame man's eyes fall on them. All five are wearing black cloaks that cover their heads and faces.

The five people look up one after another, and their eyes under the brims of their hats are also fixed on the man.

The down-and-out man pays no attention and limps past the five people.

A hand stretches out from the small-statured black cloak. The fingers are as delicate as jade, and the red fingernails are extremely beautiful.

It is a woman's hand. It grabs the down-and-out man's arm and holds him back.

The down-and-out man has to stop and says calmly and forcefully, "Let go."

Under the raised brim of the hat is revealed an exquisitely beautiful woman's face. There is a pair of silver-chained eardrops hanging down to the collarbone where the hat connects to the neck. Her bright eyes show a complex look, and she calls out in a soft and hesitant voice, "Your Highness!"

Suddenly, the down-and-out man swings his arm forcefully, shakes off her hand, and continues to limp forward.

The wind blows fast and then slow. The five people in the black cloaks are silent and watch as the down-and-out man disappears around the bend of the big tree trunk.

On a cluster of branches floating on the sea of clouds, thousands of people stand on leaves like boats.

When the down-and-out man arrives, he takes out his boat ticket and identity proof and gives them to the fairy-court guards here for verification.

After confirming that the boat ticket and identity are correct, the down-and-out man passes through and blends into the thousands of people, waiting like the others.

Among those who come later, someone mutters, "Identity proof is also required. The inspection is so strict now."

Someone else looks at the half-ruined fairy capital in the distance and sighs, "After such a big incident, how could the inspection not be strict for people coming and going?"

As soon as this is said, countless people sigh and shake their heads, and the topics gradually involve the shocking changes that have taken place in the fairy capital recently. The remnants of the former dynasty led by the Thirteen Heavenly Demons have raided the fairy capital.

"It's too rampant. How dare they attack the fairy capital?"

"Thanks to Second Master. Second Master is worthy of being the first God of War in the fairy court. The Thirteen Heavenly Demons joined forces but were completely defeated by Second Master alone."

"Did you see that fight scene? The one among the Thirteen Heavenly Demons known as the 'Overlord' fought with Second Master so fiercely that people watching were on tenterhooks for Second Master."

"It's just a moment of rampancy. Didn't they still fall at the hands of Second Master?"

"I heard that Second Master killed eight of the Thirteen Heavenly Demons, captured two, and three escaped?"

"With such a fierce fight and the demons running amok, people could hardly avoid them. Who would dare to show up and watch? I didn't see the report, so I don't know if it's true or not."

"If three really escaped, those demons probably won't let it go."

Suddenly, the discussions stop one after another, and the people who were sitting also stand up one after another. The passage officer holding the fairy court jade talisman appears, which means that everyone doesn't have to wait any longer and it's time to set off.

The passage officer holding the jade talisman stands on the branch and suddenly snaps the jade talisman. A bright light flashes and suddenly disappears into the void.

Soon, a faint "moo-moo" sound comes from the void, like the call of a cow, but louder and more sonorous than a cow's call.

Immediately after, ripples appear in the void, and a huge creature drills out from the center of the void ripples. It swims out, swinging its huge fins. It is like a whale and is called Kun.

For everyone, the Kun is something that is both common and not so common.

It is common because the Kun is a long-distance transportation vehicle in the fairy world. It is not so common because the Kun lives in the underworld, in a place called Beiming in the underworld. It is said to be a sea area in the underworld and would only appear when summoned by the fairy court.

Most people in the fairy world have never been to the underworld and it is very difficult to go there alive without permission.

The fairy court has reached some kind of compliance contract with the Kun tribe in the underworld. Besides, the Kun also needs the power of sentient beings' wishes, so the current situation occurs.

The fairy court would not force the Kun to be a transportation vehicle. Only when the provided power of wishes satisfies the Kun tribe and the Kun is willing would it work.

The reason why the Kun is regarded as a transportation vehicle is that it flies very fast and few in the various worlds can catch up with it, so it has a certain safety effect.

The Kun originally had the natural magical power to travel through various worlds. After the gods established the fairy world, they separated the absolute strong and weak among all beings, guarded the passages of various worlds, and restricted the living area of the Kun to Beiming.

A long, long time ago, when the various worlds were connected, the fairy world had an ancient name - Honghuang!

The Kun floats in front of the extended branches and opens its huge mouth. The passage officer leads people to maintain order and organizes the people who have bought tickets and are waiting to enter the mouth of the Kun.

The inner world of the Kun is transparent. It seems to have something, but if you look carefully, you can see the outside situation clearly inside the Kun.

"Those going to Fubo City sit over there, those going to Buque City sit over there..."

The subordinates of the passage officer, holding the ticket-purchase report forms, keep shouting to the people.

The down-and-out man in the leather coat is silent and walks to a corner and sits down as instructed.

There are no prepared seats. You can just find a bumpy place in the designated area and sit down, or you can stand if you want.

Dozens of people sit down in this area one after another. A bright-eyed woman sits next to the down-and-out man. With her professional sensitivity, she feels that there seems to be a story about this man worth exploring, so she takes the initiative to greet, "Hello, I'm Zhu Li. Are you also going to Buque City?"

The down-and-out man glances at her casually, then slowly tilts his head against the wall, closes his eyes and pretends to sleep. He doesn't want to talk and is very quiet.

Having been snubbed, Zhu Li just shrugs as if giving up. There is a man next to her who chuckles and takes the initiative to strike up a conversation with her, "Hello, I'm Luo Kangan. I'm also going to Buque City."

Outside Buque City, outside the Nanping open space is a cliff, and a group of people have gathered on the open space. They are all here to pick someone up.

Three silver-colored cars drive from inside the city and stop on one side of the crowd, attracting the attention of the waiting people.

Someone raises their chin towards those three cars and whispers to the people around, "Did you see that? Do you know whose cars those are?"

"Whose?"

"The head of the Qin's Chamber of Commerce."

"That female richest person, Qin Yi?"

"Yes, I've seen her car. That woman should be in the car."

"Tsk-tsk. Why did she come? The richest person in Buque City, and she's young and beautiful. I wonder who she'll end up with."

"She won't end up with you anyway. Wipe your drool. Since she came to welcome in person, it seems there will be some important guests coming on this'ship'."

Just then, several more black-colored cars arrive and cause another stir.

Inside one of the previous silver-colored cars, a woman in a high-slit skirt has a snow-white long leg exposed outside the skirt, crossed over the other leg. Her face is cold and beautiful, with thick lipstick, bright red lips. She has a lit cigarette in her mouth, leans against the window thinking about something, and slowly puffs out smoke. She has a unique temperament.

This woman is the richest person in Buque City and the head of the Qin's Chamber of Commerce - Qin Yi.

The woman in the passenger seat, full of shrewdness, looks back. She is Qin Yi's assistant, Bai Linglong. She notices the arrival of those black-colored cars and reminds, "President, City Lord Luo has come."

"Huh?" Qin Yi, with a cigarette between her fingers, comes to her senses and looks out of the window. She is a little stunned and asks, "Why did he come?"

Bai Linglong says, "Since he can come here and come to pick someone up in person, there should be some important guests coming."

Qin Yi is strange and says, "A guest who can make him come to welcome in person could just use the teleportation array controlled by the fairy court. Why do they need to come here?"

Bai Linglong is also a little confused and reminds again, "President, do you want to go over and say hello?"

Indeed, she has to go over and say hello. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate. The whole Buque City is under his control, and the Qin's Chamber of Commerce is also under his jurisdiction.

Qin Yi immediately puts out the cigarette. However, when she puts down the crossed leg, she hesitates a little. She pulls at the skirt, but still can't cover the exposed white thigh.

Bai Linglong sees her concern. The old city lord's thinking is a little conservative. The president's flashy dressing would probably be an eyesore in the city lord's eyes. She looks at her own clothes. Their figures don't match, and it is not appropriate to change clothes. So she immediately says, "President, wait a moment. I'll find you some clothes to change into."

Qin Yi takes a deep breath and says decisively, "There's no time. It would be too rude to dawdle." With that, she casually puts a scarf over her shoulders, opens the car door, stretches out her fair-skinned long leg and gets out. Her red high-heeled shoes touch the ground first.

The people in the three cars get out immediately and follow Qin Yi.

As soon as she shows up, she immediately attracts the burning stares of many men. Obviously, they are all looking at her graceful figure and her charming demeanor.

Bai Linglong runs to the front and first informs the guards in front of the several black-colored cars.

A little later, a car door opens and a white-haired old man in an ancient-style long robe with a slightly hunched back gets out. He is the city lord of Buque City, Luo Tianhe.

He raises his hand, and the guards then let Qin Yi come over.

Qin Yi quickly walks forward, bows and says, "City Lord."

Luo Tianhe looks her up and down. He frowns when he sees her thigh blatantly exposed at the slit of her skirt. Then he looks at her wavy long hair, her bright red lips and the high-heeled shoes on her feet. A bland look has already appeared on his face. He asks faintly, "Is this another new trend from the human world?"

Qin Yi is embarrassed in her heart. She knows this old guy doesn't like these things. She straightens up and replies with a stiff upper lip, "It's not really a new trend. It's been around for a long time. I don't usually dress like this. I just do it for a change once in a while."

"For a change?" Luo Tianhe puts his hands behind his back and looks up at the sky. He mutters something, and it is not clear who he is talking to. "People are not as virtuous as in ancient times!"

Qin Yi hears this and subconsciously looks at the city lord's carriages. She doesn't say anything, but her eyes are meaningful enough, as if to say, you're not much better.

Luo Tianhe seems to understand her thoughts, so he doesn't continue with this topic and changes it. "Who can make our female richest person in Buque City come to welcome in person?"

Qin Yi replies respectfully, "Luo Kangan."

"Luo Kangan?" Luo Tianhe shows a thoughtful look. He can't remember who it is and asks again, "Who is he?"
