Two Eras of Yun Province, Three Traveling Together~

"Wow, is that Sword Immortal Li's carriage?!"

"Some people say you are the reincarnation of Sword Immortal. Is that true?"

"Were the sword marks on Cloud-Crossing Sword City truly drawn by you?"

Upon their return to Yun Province City, they were met with thunderous cheers.

Even the wide city gates were completely blocked.

People's joys and sorrows are not shared; at this moment, Little Li only felt that they were making noise.

At this moment, Li Mo truly understood what it meant to fear becoming famous, just as a pig fears growing fat.

"So this is how tiring it is to be a renowned swordsman in other people's eyes..."

Suddenly becoming famous has taken a toll on my mental fortitude.

When the carriage couldn't move, Li Mo turned his head to look at Ice Block, who was quietly drinking tea with her eyes downcast, seemingly undisturbed by anything outside.

It's getting dark.

"We're still going to explore Yun Province City."

Li Mo started racking his brains.

However, he had not yet come up with a suitable solution.

Ying Bing suddenly stood up and lifted the carriage curtain.

She remained expressionless, her serene gaze sweeping across the crowd.

The noisy city gate fell silent in an instant.

The oppressive feeling emanating from the Ice Block.

At today's martial arts competition, if we were to say who stood out the most, it would undoubtedly be Li Mo.

But Ying Bing, whose strength was unreasonable, also left a deep impression.

No one has ever withstood three of her sword strikes, not even the disciples of Cloud-Crossing Sword City.

In the end, no one dared to step into the ring to challenge anymore.

A pleasant, light voice said:

"Walk."

"Okay."

The carriage slowly started moving again.

Wherever it passed, the crowds automatically parted.

Before long, they arrived at the busiest Fish-Dragon Street.

"Donkey rolling around~"

"You love me~ I love you~ Honey water ice cream, so sweet~"

"Excuse me, sir, I'm almost over my time!"

"An exclusive leaked version of <The Overbearing Empress Falls in Love With Me> is available for a sneak peek for just ten taels of silver!"

Because of the Martial Dao Summit, Yun Province City is even more lively at night than during the day, far more bustling than Purple Sun Prefecture.

Perhaps because there are many sword cultivators here, even the architectural style reflects their character, making it unique and elegant.

At this time, the place was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, resembling a vast expanse of fiery trees and silver flowers under the night sky.

Call--

The lights flickered, occasionally spilling through the swaying curtains, casting a mixture of light and shadow inside the carriage.

"It's so lively..."

Jiang Chulong shrank back into the dark corner of the carriage, carefully observing the everyday life around her, as if trying to remember every scene.

Ying Bing took in the magnificent scene before her eyes, but her heart held a different view.

Yun Province...

In the previous life, in the near future, the most turbulent Calamity Beast tide in a thousand years broke out in the Southern Border, and the King of Prince of Southern Pacification perished.

Cloud-Crossing Sword City had lost its sword marks for decades, and there was a lack of successors.

With disaster looming, Sword City could have relocated the entire city and sought refuge in the Heavenly Mountain Sword Villa.

Unfortunately, Lord Ren, knowing full well that it was impossible, insisted on Guardian Yun Province.

The goodwill they had built up over the years came into play. They were not alone; many heroes from the martial arts world and powerful Aristocratic Clan from various sects were there to fight alongside them against a common enemy.

Over the course of three years, the city lord changed several times, successively being Cao Mu, Bai Jinghong, Wu Chushu.

Before the reinforcements dispatched by the imperial court arrived, Wu Chushu self-destructed his sword body, leaving only a flower forest in the once-famous Sword City.

Later on...

The prosperity and glory of Yun Province, its fine wines and chivalrous spirit, can only be glimpsed through the words of the people who escaped and in that evergreen flower forest.

The vivid scene unfolding before her eyes gave Ying Bing a sense of unreality, as if she had been transported to another world.

"Thank you for earlier."

The boy's voice suddenly rang out.

Surrounded by so many people, Li Mo really didn't know how to escape.

"Um..."

Ying Bing snapped out of her daze and shook her head:

"I want to go back to practice my skills as soon as possible, but..."

"I see."

Li Mo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and took out two bronze plaques from his pocket:

"I only managed to snag two tickets for the Plum Blossom Pavilion performance."

"Theatrical tickets?"

Ying Bing's gaze paused slightly, and her slightly parted lips closed again.

"To watch opera?"

Jiang Chulong's eyes lit up, but after glancing at Big Brother Li and then at Sister Bing, she whispered:

"I have things to do tonight... Next time, Big Brother Li... you can take me out again..."

"What is it?" Li Mo asked, puzzled.

Jiang Chulong murmured, her voice growing softer and softer:

"And... there's still trash to... pick up..."

Li Mo: "..."

So Princess Little Jiang thought for a long time, and finally came up with the excuse of going out to pick up trash.

I originally wanted to tease the Ice Block.

"Actually, I'm a magician, Chulong, do you believe me?"

Little Li personality disorder episode, looking completely mysterious.

"I believe you!"

Jiang Chulong nodded firmly and answered instantly.

"Since you don't believe me, then I... um?"

Li Mo was taken aback, then said helplessly, "... You mean you don't believe me?"

"But... but... I still don't know... what a magician is..."

Princess Little Jiang tilted her head in confusion.

As long as it's Big Brother Li, I can trust you.

A magician is someone who can suddenly conjure things up.

He explained, rubbed his hands together, and then pulled out another copper plate from behind the two:

"Ta-da!"

"Now there are three!"

Ying Bing: "..."

How childish.

Jiang Chulong: "Wow... that's amazing!"

Before watching the opera, Li Mo took the two women to browse through a clothing store. The styles and materials here were much better than in the Prefecture City, and even Black Cloud Gauze was openly displayed for sale.

The price was, of course, much higher, but for Li, who was wealthy and extravagant, it made no difference to Mo.

No woman dislikes beautiful clothes.

Princess Little Jiang had never been to a clothing store before, and she stood there dumbfounded in front of the dazzling array of clothes.

"Chulong, which one do you like?"

"I... I don't know..."

Okay, which one don't you like?

Li Mo changed his question.

After Princess Little Jiang carefully pointed out the style that didn't suit her...

Li Mo said to the shopkeeper:

"I don't want this one, wrap up the rest."

"Ah?"

The shopkeeper was slightly shocked.

Some even suspected that the handsome young man was sent by the clothing store across the street to cause trouble.

It wasn't until Little Li took out a large box from the Sumeru Object and started counting the silver notes that things started to get interesting.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, father, grandfather, ancestor..."

"Can you deliver it to my door after it's packaged?"

"After years of seclusion, my Iron Leg Water Strider are finally ready to return to the world!"

"?"

Looking at the chubby boss who weighed around 200 pounds, Little Li didn't quite understand how he managed to float so much.

The two women went inside to change their clothes.

Li Mo looked at the bright moon in the sky and waited for a moment before footsteps came from behind him.

When I turned around, they had all changed their clothes.

The contrast with Ice Block's appearance is striking; her blue-and-white porcelain-colored skirt is shorter than before, reaching her knees, revealing her long, slender, jade-like legs beneath.

She even... she was wearing a velvet flower hairpin?

She frowned, seemingly finding it strange herself.

"Let's change it..."

"Puff..."

Li Mo had never seen such a contrast before; the landlady knew about OOTD.

"It's fine as is, no need to change it!"

Where is Princess Little Jiang?

She changed into a red dress with gold trim, removed the strips of fabric, put her small hands behind her back, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and dared not raise her head.

The dress was gorgeous and form-fitting, adding a touch of radiant elegance to her pure and delicate beauty.

How did the proprietress manage to put together such a perfect outfit?

"Is it good... Big Brother Li?"

"This will be my dream material tonight..."

"Ah?"

"It's okay, boss. Does your boss's wife offer home delivery?"

"Ah..."

I wanted to write this kind of minor plot in more detail, so it took me a little longer. Mwah! (orz)
