Kailan City was no longer merely a land-trade transit hub linking the Human race and the Elf race. It had also become a famous tourist city.
Its specialty, the Kailan Flower, in particular, drew many Elves from Moonlight Forest every year.
Unfortunately, Chen Cheng and Jelina could not stay here long enough to sightsee. Both wanted to reach Moonlight Forest as soon as possible and meet the Moon Goddess.
By now, apart from the skin covered by his clothes, nearly every other part of Chen Cheng's body had decayed to varying degrees.
If not for the special thin protective suit covering him, he would probably have become a walking source of corpse stench by now.
Fortunately, exchanges between Kailan City and the Elf race had increased, making transportation far more convenient. There were now tamed Magic Beast carriages. Otherwise, given Chen Cheng's condition, he would likely have become a complete walking corpse before even arriving there.
Seeing Chen Cheng's body tremble from muscle decay, Jelina reached out to support him and helped him into the carriage.
"Thank you."
Chen Cheng's voice was somewhat muddled.
They still sat facing each other. However, after nearly a month of living on trains, Jelina had come to realize that Chen Cheng was probably not some monster, but a person truly on the verge of death.
"Have you not felt your heartbeat slowing and slowing? You insist on going to Moonlight Forest like this—do you have some final wish that needs to be fulfilled?"
Hearing Jelina's words, Chen Cheng shook his head. His vocal cords had already decayed, leaving him unable to speak.
Feeling his body decay bit by bit, Chen Cheng laboriously raised his head and leaned against the window, looking at the sun in the sky.
It was closer now, so close it
