The low houses, mottled and cracked city walls, and filthy, chaotic streets... were all replaced by gleaming glass curtain walls and metal frameworks.
Futuristic skyscrapers rose from the ground around Bai Ye.
Smooth pavement rapidly spread into broad streets, and streetlights along the roadside lit up one after another, their warm yellow glow dispelling the murky darkness.
"Wow! It's spectacular!" Tang Guo cried out in surprise. She spun around on the spot with her head raised before finally taking in the surrounding scenery.

She wore black leather high-street shorts
