Xing discovered that every planet she had Trailblaze bore the mark of Destruction.
The frozen Antimatter Legion of Jarilo-VI, the [ Lord Ravager ] of the Xianzhou Luofu, Penacony's... uh, the Annihilation Gang and the Stellaron?
Xing frowned, realizing that things weren't so simple; the [ Destruction ] content of Penacony seemed to be very low.
Poor Duke Inferno Afrit, I heard he was wiped out by the combined Emanator the Eternity Emanator and the Nihility, quite a feat indeed.
Fortunately, they died prematurely, otherwise, Penacony would have been in complete chaos!
Therefore, it's best to avoid anything related to Destruction, as it harms both yourself and others!
Just as Xing was speculating about the Path of Amphoreus, Dan Heng and Phainon exchanged a few words.
"Pain is harmful, and suffering does not elevate faith. Liberating everyone from suffering is the inherent duty of us, the Chrysos Heirs."
Phainon's expression was solemn. "It is also the only human city-state left today, the significance of the existence of the [Holy City] Okhema."
"Hey, don't make the atmosphere so heavy." Tribbie put her hands on her hips. "Anyway, the Holy City is absolutely safe. Everything will be fine once we get there."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slight tremor came from the ground.
"Where did this stage effect come from?!" Xing's thoughts were abruptly interrupted. If she thought about it a little longer, perhaps Amphoreus's fourth Path would also be revealed to her, but alas.
Looking around, they saw several enormous dragon-like creatures slowly walking towards them.
"These docile creatures are called [ Earth Beast ], and they are loyal companions of humans. The mountain road to the Holy City is treacherous; we'll have to rely on them."
Phainon introduced the Earth Beast: " The Earth Beast is docile, and even first-time riders can easily control it. Give it a try, and remember to hold the reins tight."
Hearing the 'whooshing' sound emitted by the Earth Beast, Xing looked eager to try, her eyes brimming with barely suppressed excitement.
Although she had never piloted a giant mech like the Jarilo-VI Engine of Creation, this Earth Beast seemed to suit her Galactic Baseballer's taste perfectly.
Xing saw the white carapace protruding from the Earth Beast's limbs and planned to use it as a footrest...
Unsurprisingly, with another 'whoosh,' the Earth Beast let out a dissatisfied cry and with a slight shake, flung Xing several meters away.
"This is what you call 'docile'?!" Xing steadied herself; thankfully, she dodged quickly. The Earth Beast was acting a bit rebellious.
"Haha~ I forgot to mention, whatever you do, don't touch the white stone ridges. When the [Earth] Titan blessed them, he stuffed all his bad temper into these hard lumps."
Phainon said with a smile, "It seems they really do come from [outer heavens]. The locals must know the characteristics of the Earth Beast."
This time, Xing carefully rode on it, and after confirming that it was safe, she even gave the Earth Beast a cup of milk tea.
"See? Isn't it easy?"
"Ooh--!"
After tasting the milk tea, the Earth Beast ridden by Xingqi became noticeably more excited, clearly showing that it really enjoyed the milk tea.
"As expected, Teacher Ye Yan's milk tea is a cure-all."
March 7th was a little regretful. She should have asked Ye Yan for a few more cups of milk tea; with that, she might have been able to move freely in Amphoreus.
"Oh?"
Upon seeing Xing take out the cup of milk tea, Phainon and Tribbie's expressions changed for a moment.
To the three of them, this scene was simply a result of the Amphoreus, where the locals had never seen milk tea before, hence their confusion.
"Everyone, are you all seated? Let's set off—our destination, Okhema!"
Meanwhile, the Aedes Elysiae
The baby girl was born safely, and everyone cheered loudly. She was born a [ Years ] Priestess, a title that speaks for itself.
Ye Yan snapped his fingers crisply, and 'time' flew by like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall, the golden wheat field growing even taller.
The small village called [ Aedes Elysiae ] has not changed much; the statue of Oronyx still stands in the center of the village.
However... a new mini milk tea shop has opened in the nearby Court of Repose.
How miniature is it? It's just a very simple wooden cart, with all sorts of tempting milk teas on it—it's that simple.
There's no way around it; it's all to fit the style of the Aedes Elysiae. You can't just suddenly put a high-tech milk tea shop into this ordinary little village, can you? Just imagining it would be too jarring!
Seeing the white-haired, blue-eyed boy pacing back and forth in front of the milk tea shop, looking hesitant, Ye Yan smiled and then vanished.
"Grand opening! Honest and fair pricing, 20% off everything! What would you like to order?"
"Hmm..." The white-haired boy was not surprised by Ye Yan's sudden appearance.
In the boy's mind, the milk tea shop owner was from the "holy city" of Okhema, and had built his business on milk tea, earning widespread praise.
A few days ago, I was traveling by boat across the sea to do business in a foreign land, but we were attacked by a sea monster halfway there. In the critical moment, I had no choice but to abandon ship and escape. I was pulled out of the river by the adults in the village.
A boy always imagines how vast the world outside the village is, and dreams of traveling far and wide to become a knowledgeable and powerful warrior.
This milk tea shop owner who traveled across the ocean is the first step he needs to take before becoming a hero! He simply can't contain his desire to understand the outside world.
"Since you're our first customer, it'll be a fixed price: 100,000 Credits."
Before the boy could react, Ye Yan had already placed the milk tea in his hand.
"Ten... hundred thousand?!"
The white-haired boy was clearly shocked by the amount; his hand trembled so much he almost spilled his milk tea. And what exactly are [ Credits ]?
"Can't pay? No problem, our shop also supports other payment methods, including but not limited to working to pay off debts, busking performances..."
"Pay back the debt?!"
Upon hearing this, the white-haired boy was startled. He didn't want to be burdened with a debt of 100,000 yuan at such a young age, as his parents were waiting for him to come home for dinner.
As for busking and performing... he probably doesn't have the talent. At most, he could use a sickle to demonstrate his skill of harvesting wheat in three seconds to passing spectators, but I doubt the bubble tea shop owner needs that.
"Why haven't I seen any of the other playmates? Where's the little fortune teller?" Ye Yan suddenly asked.
" Cyrene? She's swinging on the swing under the big tree."
"Is that so..." Ye Yan seemed thoughtful, then looked down at Phainon, "What's your name?"
" Phainon." The white-haired youth replied almost instantly, already acknowledging that he was in debt for 100,000 and was under immense pressure.
"Oh? Phainon from Aedes Elysiae... that's a nice name. Consider these six cups of milk tea a small gift for our meeting. Please accept them."
"Huh?"
The young Phainon was stunned. When he came to his senses, Ye Yan's figure had already disappeared, and even the small wooden cart was gone.
