As they drew closer, the enormous Spirit City at the end of the road finally came into view before Xiao Yan and the others.
Standing on a slope, Yang Wudi, Bai He, and the others gazed at the distant walls towering into the clouds, wonder flashing in their eyes.
Although Spirit City was not as vast as Heaven Dou City, its walls had been built to the same specifications as those of the Heaven Dou imperial capital. Eighty meters tall, they looked imposing from outside, and their thickness exceeded thirty meters. They were constructed entirely of granite. Everyone patrolling the walls was a Soul Master, clad in Spirit Hall's distinctive uniforms, their gazes as keen as hawks'.
After entering Spirit City, Xiao Yan and the others headed straight for the courtyard Soul Hall had reserved in advance. Yet when he pushed open the gate, a streak of light flashed before him, making him hastily take a step back in alarm.
His brows furrowed slightly. Xiao Yan took a closer look and was startled to discover that the streak of light had actually been Little Dragon Girl, Xiao Xiao.
Little Dragon Girl stood at the gate, gazing at Xiao Yan with anticipation written all over her face. Her two large eyes, one red and one blue, brimmed with ravenous longing.
"Ahem... why are you staring at me like that? Have you finished all the pills I made for you again? You little rascal, didn't I tell you to make them last?" Relaxing his guard, Xiao Yan coughed dryly and smiled as he rubbed Little Dragon Girl's head.
"Yep, they're all gone. Daddy, hurry and make me some more," Little Dragon Girl mumbled, pouting.
At her words, Xiao Yan nodded, then stepped around Little Dragon Girl and walked straight into the courtyard.
