The night breeze was faintly cool.
Dragon Sea City was peaceful in all directions, and every wanderer had somewhere to return to.
From time to time, men and women could be seen cuddling together.
Yun Yao and the others had gathered around a table playing mahjong. As a single dog, Bai Yi... his only romantic prospect was still in the Underworld and unable to come out.
All he could do was spend money alone beneath the moon!
"(｀Д′) Come on, did you all collude or something? Why am I the only one winning?" Bai Yi sat in the dealer's seat, staring at his tiles so angrily that he wanted to flip the table.
"If your luck is bad and you can't afford to lose, then give Qingyun your seat!"
"Again, again... Damn it, this is something passed down from our hometown. How could I possibly lose to you guys?!" Bai Yi rolled up his sleeves and began shuffling the mahjong tiles again.
The group crowded noisily around the Wooden Table, chattering without end.
Not far away, Dugu Xuexue sat on the steps with a gloomy face, looking ahead in restless annoyance.
She truly no longer had to be a maid now!
But... it did not seem much better.
There was no one in the city she knew well. Dugu Yueli's identity could not be exposed, and her aunt had shown no intention of sending her back.
Instead, she had told her to stay in the city with peace of mind!
"Forget it, I'd better go somewhere else for a walk!" Dugu Xuexue rose and slowly headed toward the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion.
She skipped about, looking around, and before she knew it, she had reached the depths of the garden.
Suddenly, an unbearable sound reached her ears.
