A Letter, the Rules of the Heavenly Human City Realm

The morning ended with Lan Tian's mukbang (eating broadcast), and the beautiful flower festival was filled with the aroma of cooking fires.

The Imperial Kitchen is probably the busiest place in the capital city now, with dishes being brought out and served to the guests.

Li Mo didn't even notice when the palace maid lifted the carriage curtain.

He is now blind and deaf.

The mighty swordsman, the wife-boosting little tyrant, had his eyes closed, yet his iron will, comparable to Mystic Weapon, now resembled a fish on a chopping board.

Ice Block is placed next to your ear, giving you an immersive ASMR experience.

Who wouldn't feel dizzy and disoriented if given this?

"Ice Block."

"Um?"

"Don't move your feet."

The Ice Block's sneak attack just now involved wrapping its arms around his neck from behind and pulling him into its embrace.

Isn't that an armbar? (No)

Unaware of the kidney-grinding incident that occurred during this process, or perhaps out of habit, Ying Bing was completely unaware that her snow-white feet, clad in Pearl White Lotus Silk, had already reached for her Hammer Treasure.

She only realized what Li Mo said after he spoke.

"Outside..."

Ying Bing's tone softened, her eyes, like autumn water, looked to the side, and she expressionlessly tucked the strands of hair behind her ear, but when her fingertips touched the dampness on her ear, her eyelashes couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Yes, the two of them are outside, separated from the bustling flower festival only by a carriage.

What were I doing just now?

"Then let's settle this when we get back."

Li Mo took a heavy breath, his voice becoming much rougher.

"..."

Faced with the childish provocation, Ying Bing parted her lips slightly, but could not utter a word.

They've gone this far outside, what will happen when we go back home?

It's his fault. Every time she's punished, she looks at some strange things, which made her subconsciously not notice anything wrong just now...

Since things have come to this, let's eat first.

She picked up the bowl, ready to taste the dishes from the imperial kitchen.

"This is..."

Ying Bing was taken aback and discovered a small note hidden under the bowl.

"There seems to be writing on it."

Li Mo took it, unfolded it, and after examining it closely, his brows furrowed.

The handwriting above is concise and to the point:

[The Empress has changed, the Celestial Person have changed, things are different from before, please be careful -- we owe each other nothing.]

Who sent this?

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, then looked up.

But outside, there was a vast sea of people, like searching for a needle in a haystack. Even with the Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye activated, it was the same. The sheer volume of information was overwhelming, making it impossible to discern anything for a moment.

"The messenger should have meant no harm."

Ying Bing pondered for a moment, then looked up at the Heavenly Human City.

She was recalling the events of this year's Hidden Dragon Assembly from her past life, but after a moment she shook her head.

At that time, she was still in Purple Sun Prefecture and only knew that Jiang Yu was in charge of the Celestial Person.

Moreover, many things have changed this time compared to last time; what was once the gentle fluttering of a butterfly's wings has now become a storm.

For example, the other Heavenly Phoenix Domain.

"They only say that there has been a change in the Celestial Person, but they don't know what this change is..."

Most people are helpless against riddle solvers, but fortunately, Li Mo is no ordinary person.

He can directly see what Ice Block has been going through lately!

If the Ice Block are alright recently...

It doesn't matter what changes occur in the Heavenly Human City; let it change as it pleases.

[Name: Ying Bing]

[Age: 17]

[Root Bone: Lunar Phoenix Physique]

[Realm: Nine Apertures of Divine Observation.]

[Destiny: Red (Born with imperial bones, possessing the life force of Xuanbing, the spirit of Qiushui, and the appearance of Phoenix Heavens )]

[Evaluation: Though fate has brought many tribulations, it has always managed to turn misfortune into good fortune. Its wings are not yet fully grown, but when the times change, it will surely soar high in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a phoenix descending upon the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations.]

[Recent Encounter: Entered Heavenly Human City, but was trapped within due to carrying the other Heavenly Phoenix Domain. He was only able to break free four years later after reaching the fifth realm.]

Four years?!

Li Mo's expression instantly turned serious.

The Ice Block and naive kid from four years ago is old enough to run errands now!

"What's wrong?"

Ying Bing didn't know why he suddenly reacted so strongly.

"Ice Block, what is the Heavenly Human City like? And how does it compare to your Heavenly Phoenix Domain?"

Li Mo entered battle mode.

He felt that since they were both part of the Heavenly Phoenix Domain, Ice Block should have some understanding of the Heavenly Human City Realm.

Clearly, going to the Heavenly Human City was an unavoidable decision; with the Hundred Flowers Gathering over today, the scheduled Celestial Person Trials would begin.

The best we can do is try to be as certain as possible before we go in.

Ying Bing lowered her head slightly and said:

"The Heavenly Phoenix Domain is Square grotto-heaven, but more real than any other grotto-heaven, much like... your Small World, only more complete. To be precise, it is a microcosm of the Imperial Capital within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"Heavenly Human City is actually divided into three parts: Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. The Inner City is Heaven, the middle city is Earth, and the outer city is Humanity. Each of the three cities suffers from its own natural disasters, and outside the city, there are demons that covet the humans within..."

"Triple City, dangerous outside the city..."

Little Li's DNA inexplicably stirred again.

Ying Bing continued, "Whoever can make Heavenly Human City survive longer will receive a higher evaluation from the Heavenly Phoenix Domain, but... I don't think that's entirely true."

She told Li Mo everything she knew, and Little Li took careful notes.

Based on the information provided by Ice Block, he summarized some key points.

Before he knew it, the grand flower festival was drawing to a close, and he stopped taking notes.

"Upon entering the Heavenly Phoenix Domain, one will feel as if in a dream, forgetting the past and retaining only their true self."

"The three cities of Heaven, Earth, and Man are not subordinate to each other; they are constantly at war with one another, and are unable to work together when faced with natural disasters and external enemies."

"Among them, Tiancheng has the fewest people, but the strongest. They are born extraordinary and possess innate divine abilities."

"The Heavenly Human Divine Sword will be passed down to the strongest person, and it has been wielded by people from the Celestial City for generations."

"Of course, the number of Celestial Person is constant. Only when one Celestial Person dies will a new Celestial Person be born from the other two cities, most of whom are from the Earth City."

"Once we enter the city, everyone will be considered a local. Does that mean ordinary people are just bystanders?"

While pondering.

The grand flower festival was drawing to a close when the voice of the purple-robed eunuch came from above, inviting Little Li to come up and give a speech.

As the book progresses, this kind of problem is inevitable: there are more and more storylines, and you have to find a balance and make choices within them.

I also need to add the development of the romantic storyline, so the update schedule won't be as regular as before. Sorry.
