After some discussion, Yang Podi, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue decided to go to the Rakshasa Secret Realm tomorrow. Bibi Dong herself needs to make some preparations, and of course, Qian Renxue will also bring the Angel Holy Sword.
Yang Podi wandered around Spirit City alone for half a day. Spirit City was bustling with people, and various vendors were selling different items. It seemed that even though the whole world was shrouded in war, Spirit City was relatively peaceful.
The people of Spirit City are much more optimistic than those of Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City. At least in Spirit City, there is no slave sale or human trafficking.
Yang Podi even saw two brothels that were still open for business, which suggests that both Soul Master and ordinary people share the same hobby.
Looking at this peaceful scene, Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh, "Perhaps this is what a prosperous era looks like. No matter how the world struggles, this is a rare haven of peace."
Perhaps it was because of witnessing the contrast between the three capitals that Heaven Dou City was more comprehensive. There were many Soul Master, nobles and commoners, but the sense of class was also quite strong. It could only be said that it was relatively peaceful, but the slave trade could not be stopped, and the nobles often bullied the weak. Ordinary people had a relatively hard life.
Star Luo City is relatively more rigorous, with a very strong sense of class, and a very detailed division between nobles and commoners, somewhat similar to a military-controlled country.
Only within the Spirit City seemed to be filled with smiles; at least there was no class conflict, no distinction between nobles and commoners. Perhaps this was why Yang Podi sought cooperation with the Spirit Hall Empire.
Yang Podi casually found a restaurant, ordered a table full of dishes, and got two jugs of good wine for himself, and began to savor them.
I don't know why, but I always feel particularly relaxed in Spirit City. Even with a formidable enemy at hand, I always feel a little urge to drink.
After Yang Podi drank a pot of wine, three people suddenly walked out of the restaurant. They were Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, Spirit Hall Golden Generation. With Yang Podi's current strength, he could sense even a fly flying within a kilometer radius, let alone three people.
The three of them saw Yang Podi drinking and, seemingly a little nervous, approached Yang Podi.
Led by Hu Liena, the three bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Your Sky Support Douluo."
Yang Podi smiled and said, "Holy Maiden, we're all around the same age, so let's not stand on ceremony. Let's sit down and have a few drinks together."
After saying that, Yang Podi waved his hand lightly, and several jugs of wine and wine cups appeared in front of the three of them.
The three of them relaxed and sat down, especially Yan, who acted very casually.
Yang Podi looked at the three people in front of him and said, "Holy Maiden, what a coincidence that we meet in a place like this."
Hu Liena quickly said, "Your Majesty, the three of us often eat at this restaurant. The food is quite good and suits our tastes."
Yang Podi seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke up, "Holy Maiden, if I may ask, it seems that the three of you are also from commoner backgrounds, right?"
Hu Liena nodded. "My brother and I are orphans. Our village was massacred when I was very young. Only my brother and I survived. We were raised by the Spirit Hall."
"Yan is similar; he also came from a commoner background and was raised by the Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi downed a large cup of wine in one gulp. "You are all unfortunate children, which is probably why you consider the Spirit Hall your home."
"By the way, I remember you were born in the Heaven Dou Empire, right? What is your impression of the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Hu Liena and the other two looked rather somber. "I was indeed born in the Heaven Dou Empire, but where were the people of the Heaven Dou Empire when our village was massacred? After it happened, how did the Heaven Dou Empire deal with the murderers who slaughtered our village? In their eyes, civilians are just dispensable."
"It was the Spirit Hall that saved us, raised my brother and me, and nurtured us. In our eyes, the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall is our home."
Yang Podi couldn't help but nod. "Indeed, the Spirit Hall is your home. I hope you can protect your home."
Hu Liena seemed a little curious. "Your Majesty, why are you drinking here alone? Is something troubling you?"
Yang Podi smiled slightly, "What could I possibly have on my mind? It's just that every time I come to Spirit City, I think it's a nice place, but unfortunately, Spirit City isn't my home."
Yan suddenly spoke up, "Your Majesty, may I ask why you are so strong?"
Yang Podi countered directly, "Yan, what kind of person do you think I am? Don't worry, just tell me directly, let's treat this like a friendly chat."
Yan thought carefully before speaking, "I think you are an exceptionally talented person. Among your peers, you are undoubtedly the number one genius, and you have even far surpassed the older generation. In addition, your family background and way of handling things are also something I admire."
Yang Podi shook his head. "What you see is only the surface. You can't imagine the effort and hard work behind my achievements today."
"Although I was born into the Breaking Clan, I have always walked on thin ice since childhood. I dare not easily offend the Spirit Hall, the Upper Three Sects, or even the Heaven Dou Empire, otherwise my clan could be wiped out if I am not careful."
"To truly become stronger and reach my level of ability, you need courage, perseverance, opportunity, critical thinking, planning, knowledge, and the ability to break through your own limitations. If you possess all of these, you will naturally be able to improve yourself much faster."
The three of them seemed to be deep in thought after hearing these words.
Next, Yang Podi drank some wine with Hu Liena and the other two, chatting idly for a while.
When the three were saying goodbye, Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head: These three members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation are quite interesting. Hu Liena is known as one of the Spirit Hall's Three Idiots and is also the number one culprit in the Spirit Hall's destruction in the original work. Now she looks a bit like a little girl.
Xie Yue is more composed and has a bit of a grand demeanor, while Yan is more impulsive and reckless, somewhat like Niu Meng.
After finishing his meal, Yang Podi returned to Chrysanthemum Douluo's house, intending to rest there for the night.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was a little surprised. " Little Podi, didn't you go to see His Majesty the Emperor? Why are you here? And you even smell of alcohol on you. Did you secretly go drinking?"
"Drinking doesn't need to be done secretly. But why aren't you out running errands? Why are you staying home?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo became a little annoyed upon hearing this. "You know what, I've been quite free lately. By the way, let me take a look at your Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid first. This kind of Immortal Herb is a rare treasure."
Yang Podi casually tossed a jade box to Chrysanthemum Douluo, then went into the living room and closed his eyes to rest.
After receiving the jade box, Chrysanthemum Douluo gently stroked the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid inside, becoming completely entranced, as if he were looking at a peerless beauty.
Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head. "These people from the Spirit Hall are quite interesting. I've met Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, and although we haven't had any deep interactions, these two are quite genuine people."
In the original novel, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo met tragic ends; one was ambushed and killed by Tang San, and the other died by self-destruction. Both of them devoted themselves to the Spirit Hall. Hopefully, their fate won't be so tragic this time.
Yang Podi thought for a moment, then casually tossed a jade box to Chrysanthemum Douluo. Chrysanthemum Douluo caught the box and exclaimed with delight, " Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and Skin! I didn't expect you to have such a treasure hidden away. Why did you take it out this time?"
Yang Podi smiled slightly, "Study these two Immortal Herb for a while. This is a transaction between me and your Spirit Hall Empire. Keep them for a period of time, and give them to Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu after the transaction is completed."
"You absolutely mustn't be able to resist eating it yourself, or Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong will kill you."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's face lit up with surprise. "You're quite the loyal one, kid. Don't worry, I'm just studying these two immortal Immortal Herb; I won't actually eat them."
"This Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid is for the young lady, but this Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone is perhaps prepared for His Majesty the Emperor?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "With Bibi Dong's current strength, this Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone Plant is no longer of any use to her. You should be able to guess who she prepared this for."
Chrysanthemum Douluo asked in confusion, "Your Majesty wouldn't have prepared this for Nana, would you? This Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone Plant is indeed quite effective for Nana."
Yang Podi simply nodded and remained silent.
Deep within the Douluo Hall, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue stood together. In front of them was a relatively small Angel Statue, but the statue was lifelike and radiated a holy light, as if it possessed some kind of magic.
In particular, a giant golden sword is stuck in front of the Angel Statue, and this giant golden sword is the core of the entire Douluo Hall.
Qian Daoliu with a somewhat serious tone. " Xiao Xue, after experiencing so much, is your heart still unable to find complete peace?"
Qian Renxue closed her eyes, her face seemingly distorted. "Grandpa, I can't do it. I can't forget that woman's indifference, I can't forget that woman's attitude towards me from childhood to adulthood, I can't forget the lonely days I spent there."
Qian Daoliu couldn't help but sigh, "She was also a woman with a tragic fate. This time, your journey to the Rakshasa Secret Realm with Yang Podi might truly be a good experience for you."
Meanwhile, in Bibi Dong's bedroom, there is a mysterious secret realm.
Within the secret realm, a gigantic Rakshasa Demon Scythe seemed to exist in the void. Bibi Dong gazed at this Rakshasa Demon Scythe, her face contorted in a grotesque expression, sometimes showing nostalgia, sometimes pain, and occasionally a strange longing...
In short, all sorts of strange expressions kept appearing on Bibi Dong's face. At this moment, Bibi Dong had no majesty as a queen and looked more like a psychologically twisted madwoman.
Especially that Rakshasa Demon Scythe, it seemed to have an endless allure for Bibi Dong Bibi Dong, wanting to drag her into an endless abyss.
Bibi Dong's face seemed to become increasingly distorted, but a hint of resistance also appeared. She even muttered to herself, " Xiao Xue, what should I do?"
