Nothing but Desert

Green Water City sounds very appealing.

Su Zhan arrived here and found himself in this place, without even knowing where he was.

Seeing the other person staring at him, he smiled and spoke.

"Never heard of Green Water City, but is it nearby?"

The other person nodded.

She smiled somewhat shyly, possessing a completely different temperament from Guo Ling'er.

"You haven't heard of this place before, senior? But it seems to be your first time here?"

"Actually, me too. I'm worried about encountering danger alone. I wonder if you would be willing to travel with me?"

Su Zhan did not answer immediately.

Instead, ask the other person.

What's your name?

The female Cultivator spoke slowly.

My name is Shi Yun'er.

"A disciple of the Silent Sect."

"My master sent me here to find my missing Junior Sister."

"I haven't found it yet, so I'd like to go to Green Water City to take a look."

Shi Yun'er spoke very specifically, seemingly worried that Su Zhan wouldn't want to take her along.

Su Zhan didn't know Silent Sect was any major Sect, nor did he care. Anyway, this was all Desert, so it wouldn't hurt to go and check out Green Water City.

So he nodded.

"Alright, then lead the way."

Shi Yun'er was immediately delighted upon hearing this.

"Thank you so much, senior. I feel much safer with you."

"This place is very dangerous, you're such a kind person."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a multitude of scorpions crawled out of the sand.

These scorpions were large, with two black tails that looked extremely venomous, and they were very fast, arriving in front of the two people in the blink of an eye.

Shi Yun'er immediately took action, showing no signs of being delicate or cowardly.

Su Zhan his sword across, turning all the scorpions into pieces, leaving Shi Yun'er looking utterly shocked.

"The most difficult thing about these Sandstone Twin-tailed Scorpion is that their exoskeletons are so hard to break. It's truly admirable that you were able to take down so many with a single sword strike, senior."

Su Zhan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"He does have some merits, but that's about it. Lead the way."

Shi Yun'er nodded, reminded Su Zhan to put away the scorpions, and led the way. As they walked, she looked back and saw that Su Zhan didn't want the things, so Shi Yun'er spoke up apologetically.

"Senior, since you don't want it, can I have it?"

Su Zhan nodded indifferently, and the other person immediately turned around, packed everything up, and happily returned to continue leading Su Zhan the way.

Several hours later, the two finally saw Green Water City ahead.

This Green Water City truly lives up to its name; from afar, the city walls appear emerald green, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the walls are not actually that color.

Instead, Vines climb up the walls, making it appear from a distance as if the city wall is green.

Looking closer, you can see that the leaves on the Vines resemble small bowls filled with water. In the Desert, although the Cultivator are not thirsty, it looks refreshing and natural, which improves their mood.

"To enter the city here, you need to give spirit medicine."

"Since this is your first time here, you must be unprepared. Let me help you."

Shi Yun'er took out two bottles of spirit medicine, labeled "Sand Pill".

Su Zhan didn't want the other party to bear the burden, but seeing that he didn't have this either, he acquiesced. After entering Green Water City, Su Zhan took out a bottle of other pills and threw it to the other party.

Consider this a token of my gratitude; no further explanation needed.

Shi Yun'er quickly refused.

Without even glancing at the pill in his hand, he was about to return it to Su Zhan.

"The pills needed to enter the city are nothing; I can afford them."
