A Landscape of Death

"The four great beauties are also known as Mingzhu City's four pearls."

"White Pearl Bai Yating, Blue Pearl Su Su, Yellow Pearl Huang Zhenru, and Red Pearl Zhuge Hongfang!"

"I once saw White Pearl Bai Yating from a distance. She really was beautiful. She's the captain of the Investigation Team's Zi Team. She's tall, fair-skinned, and gorgeous, and she's incredibly strong. Our old instructor said Bai Yating ranked among Mingzhu City's ten strongest people."

"Blue Pearl Su Su is the captain of Hai Team. It ranks last in the Investigation Team and is its weakest squad overall, though Su Su herself is supposedly strong. I've never met her, so whether she's strong or pretty... I couldn't say."

"Yellow Pearl Huang Zhenru is the president of the Alchemist Alliance. Most potion shops in Mingzhu City have ties to her. She's gone missing recently, and the Cleanup Team suspects the Heavenly Fox may have killed her."

"Last is Red Pearl Zhuge Hongfang. She's a schemer with plenty of sources. Her Hongfang Tavern is one of adventurers' favorite haunts, and she's an information broker herself. She has dirt on a lot of people. She could get someone killed with a few words, so she's not someone to cross."

Zhang Shouzhong talked as they walked. When he finished, he took a sip of water to soothe his throat.

The desert was too dry. There was barely any moisture in the air, and the saliva in his mouth evaporated whenever he opened it. A few sentences were enough to make him thirsty.

After drinking, he sighed. "The Cleanup Team has beauties too. We're a covert unit, though, so nobody in Mingzhu City knows about them."

"Like who? The senior?" Zhang Ping asked.

Truthfully, he had never heard of Mingzhu City's four great beauties before.
