Through the Second Trial

Suddenly.

Unable to accept it, Hu Liena let out a cry of shame and embarrassment. "Ye Qiu~!"

Melted wax dripped down the candle like tears, one drop at a time.

First day! After speaking with Hu Liena,

Ye Qiu arrived at the residence that belonged to him—a not particularly spacious yet luxurious estate that had gone through several twists and turns in Spirit City before he had fully claimed it in Death Canyon.

It seemed to be a festive occasion.

Outside the gates, the place was decorated with lanterns and streamers, brilliantly red, crimson as blood.

After Ye Qiu knocked, the two great doors slowly opened, followed by another two gates. Ye Qiu walked in openly, immediately feeling warmth wash over him.

The moment he entered, he found himself on a long street. Houses and shops lined both sides in dense layers, showing Ye Qiu both its prosperity and the urgency of life within.

Clusters of colorful flowers surrounded it.

They gave off a rich, fragrant scent.

Ye Qiu was greatly pleased as he wandered back and forth
