"In a place where birds don't poop, having enough water to drink is such a blessing and a luxury. Why are you so picky?"
The female city lord gently placed the tea cup on the table, her pretty eyes looking at Ye Dong with a half-smile through the golden eye mask.
Ye Dong's performance finally made the female city lord know him a little more. He could actually taste the tea with bath water. To be more precise, this water was the bath water that Ye Dong had just taken a bath in.
.But in fact, the bath water is filtered through special methods and then used as drinking water.
"Tell me, how did you get to the eighth floor of Babel Tower?" The female city lord poured herself another cup of tea and looked at Ye Dong with a smile.
Ye Dong met the female city lord's gaze and smiled and said: "Compared to why I was able to climb the eighth floor of the Tower of Babel, I think why you were able to get the water source from the Devil City is more interesting."
A cold light flashed in the female city lord's eyes, and then disappeared. She smiled faintly and asked: "This question of yours is very special. What exactly did you find?"
"I found that all the small white houses around actually formed a big formation..." Ye Dongyi said pointedly.
The female city lord sneered, stretched out her hand to pick up the tea cup, and said calmly: "You are smarter than I thought, but smart people usually die early."
Ye Dong shrugged and simply kept silent. It was unreasonable for this woman to threaten other people's lives at every turn.
Like a dragonfly tapping water, she took a sip of tea and the female city lord suddenly said: "Okay, now we are even. I won't ask about your secrets, and you don't want to hold on to mine. Let's talk about business.
, this time you stole the show in my devil city, tell me what reward you want."
"Is this reward... really optional? What if I say that I want to leave this room immediately?" Ye Dong said seriously.
The female city lord played with the tea cup in her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, but I hope you won't regret it."
"Why do I regret it?" Ye Dong immediately stood up and walked out. But just two steps out, he turned around and sat back on the chair: "Okay, let's talk about the specific details of the reward next. Finally,
So give me something practical, I hate empty promises."
"Smart people are smart people." The female city lord nodded and smiled. After saying that, she opened her left hand to Ye Dong, and in her palm was a crystal clear green pill.
"What is this?" Ye Dong stared at the green pill and asked curiously.
"The Starlight Marrow Cleansing Pill is very useful to you. Although you have experienced the Starlight Bone Cleansing, it is not perfect. This Marrow Cleansing Pill can help you achieve the Great Perfection of the Starlight Bone Cleansing." The female city lord smiled.
"Is this the reward for me?" Ye Dong stared at the green pill in the palm of the female city lord with fiery eyes. Intuitively, this pill made him feel very eager.
"Yes, this is the reward you should get." The female city lord shook her little hand, and the green pill flew into Ye Dong's hand.
Ye Dong pinched the pill, but was not in a hurry to take it. He put away the green pill and thanked the female city lord, then turned around and walked out of the small white room.
This time it went smoothly. The female city lord neither deliberately made things difficult for him nor encountered any patrols. Ye Dong easily walked out of the large array of small white houses. He did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts, as if he was strolling in a leisurely manner.
Whether in the open or in the dark, almost everyone saw him, and the bright starlight dragged his figure very long.
It wasn't until he walked far away that the small white house was far behind him that Ye Dong let out a sigh of relief. His back was already soaked with cold sweat.
In the small white room, the female city lord was still holding the tea cup. Her eyes were fixed on the table in front of her, but the smile on her rosy mouth became stronger.
"Are you really willing to let him go like this?" An old voice suddenly came, and ripples appeared in the void. Mr. Gu stepped out of the void, came to the female city lord, sat down, and looked at her curiously.
The female city lord sighed softly and smiled bitterly: "Keep him? Do you think I don't want to? It doesn't matter if a unique talent like this comes once in a thousand years and I drink wine and warm the bed, as long as he can stay. But... do you think you can do it with me?"
Can we really keep him?"
Mr. Gu looked at the female city lord with a smile and asked interestingly: "Can't even the blue phoenix that comes out every eight hundred years keep him? This young man is really mysterious."
The female city lord stared at Mr. Gu angrily, and said faintly: "No matter how powerful the Blue Phoenix is, it only appears once every eight hundred years, but he is a monster that appears once every thousand years. If my guess is correct, he still has the strength to climb to the top of the sky."
The ninth floor of the tower..."
Hearing this, he was as calm as Mr. Gu, but his expression changed after hearing this.
"What did you say? He still has some energy left..." Mr. Gu asked in disbelief.
"How can you take advantage of others if you don't have enough energy?" The female city lord said in a faint voice: "This is the first time in my life that I have been taken advantage of by a man. I didn't expect that I was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid. It's really hateful!"
When Mr. Gu heard this, he laughed and said: "Come on, I see that you were taken advantage of by that little guy. I guess you feel like you are eating honey. You got an advantage in front of me and you behaved..."
"Old man Gu! Shut up!" the female city lord yelled angrily.
"Why are you angry? Haha, do you want to kill me too?" Mr. Gu laughed proudly. It was rare to see Lan Fenghuang deflated, and his old heart was very proud.
The female city lord's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "How can I kill the special envoy of Tianyu? I can't kill you, but... I can cut off your drinking..."
When Mr. Gu heard this, his old face immediately fell: "Don't... don't... don't... Lan Yatou, we can talk about anything we have to say, but please don't cut off my old man's drinking. My old man can go without food for three years.
But you must not go without drinking for three days.”
"Hey, I don't want to."
After Ye Dong left the Devil's City, he followed the direction indicated on the jade piece and headed to the next small town - Hollow City.
After leaving the Devil City, Ye Dong chose a small road to walk. He knew that he stole the show in the Devil City Babel Tower and would naturally be remembered by many people. He was not afraid of interception and assassination by those guys. He was afraid of trouble. Who
I don’t want to be bothered by a swarm of flies when I’m on my way.
The further we went, the brighter the stars became, and the insects, ants, birds and beasts we encountered along the way became more ferocious. There were gradually more trees around us, and when we were about to pass through a dense purple jungle, we could see the hollow city in the distance.
, Ye Dong suddenly heard the sound of weapons being handed over.
Ye Dong's body was like a floating leaf, clinging to the giant purple trees and flying towards the edge of the jungle.
When he was a hundred meters away from the edge of the jungle, Ye Dong finally saw clearly that it was a group of people attacking a man and a woman.

I worked on this chapter for four hours. I wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote, and deleted more than 2,000 words. I originally thought I could write two chapters, but I overestimated myself. In the past few days, there have been many changes in family matters.
I'm exhausted from all the work. I'll just leave this chapter for today. Let me calm down and think about the details. I'll try to write three chapters tomorrow.
