This man with a beard was not someone incredible, so Wu Lingyu casually used a skill to deal with him.

Sima You Yue had already probed his memories before he dissipated. She originally only wanted to be a newcomer, however, after taking a look at their memories, she pretty much understood what happened here. After she probed his memories, she felt that it was fortunate that she had done so.

“What good information did you get?” Wu Lingyu could tell if she was happy or unhappy just by seeing the corners of her eyes.

“I know where the first prey is located.” The corner of Sima You Yue’s eyes lifted, and the unhappiness that was caused by the man with the beard had also scattered by a lot.

“So lucky?” Wu Lingyu raised his eyebrows.

“I think so too, this luck really isn’t bad.” Sima You Yue went over and held onto his arm, “When we go back, let’s tell the shopkeeper to change our rooms. We will visit the next stop, Happiness City, in the next two days.”

“Alright…”

Happiness City was not far from Midnight City, but their ranks were vastly different. The Midnight City was only a border city, but the Happiness City was a core city.

However, the people who were living in the Happiness City were not happy at all. They had to pay a lot of taxes, and they also had forced labour. If anyone dared to escape, they would receive very heavy punishments after being caught. Not many would survive the heavy punishments.

Also, those who wanted to enter the city would have to pay a large sum of entry fee to the city.

Anyway, in the words of the locals, the City Lord of Happiness City only had eyes for money.

Despite that, the amount of people who wanted to enter the city was endless. There were always long queues at a few of the city’s gates. Because this city once had an emperor, everyone wanted to come to seek a way, and see if they could comprehend anything.

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu were in the middle of the queue.

“So this is the Happiness City? After queueing for so long, they still want us to wait? What is this?” A loud voice came from behind, anger tinting his impatience.

The queue to enter the city had been quiet, and the sudden sound made everyone in front turn around.

“Young Master, don’t say it like that. Be careful that you may anger the City Lord.” An old man that was by his side held him back, afraid that he would speak inappropriately again.

“Was what I said wrong?” The man felt like he did not think that he was in any wrong. He pulled Sima You Yue’s clothes, and said, “Little Lady, don’t you feel so?”

Sima You Yue did not intend to acknowledge him originally, so she did not even turn back to look at him previously. However, this fellow had no self-awareness. After seeing that she had ignored his pull, he pulled her again.

Sima You Yue turned around, pulled her own shirt and said calmly, “I feel that there is nothing wrong with queueing up.”

The man was surprised, “Why? Don’t you feel like it is a waste of time to queue?”

“It will be harder to get in if you don’t queue.” Sima You Yue said.

Ther man took a look at her and nodded his head knowingly, “I know, people that do not have abilities like you, probably won’t even be able to touch the city’s gate if there isn’t a queue.”

Sima You Yue gave him a look that showed that it was great that he understood, and turned back.

Even so, the other party did not want to let her go. He pulled onto her shirt again, and said, “Why don’t you follow me? I will bring you in. You can skip the queue with me, how about it?”

Sima You Yue pulled her shirt back again, and enunciated every word, “No thank you.”

“Are you not tempted?” The man was surprised, “Take a look at the queue in front. It’s so long and moves forward at the speed of a snail. It will take at least one or two hours before we can enter the city.”

“Yes, I have a lot of time on my hands, I can afford to wait.” Sima You Yue said, “Seeing that you are this extraordinary, presumably your status must be high right? You can go and give it a try, maybe you can enter earlier!”
