Chapter 334: Aurora City (1/2)
The poor girl was speechless for a time because she knew it deep inside that that was her plan all along.
She never expected to see Master Clark once again but it seemed like fate had another plan for the two of them.
Alas, this did not matter in the grand scheme of things since she has already achieved her revenge in the first place. Now it was time to face the consequences of what she had done.
Young Master Yao Ru belonged to a strong cultivator clan and the best thing she could do at the moment was to go home and warn her family of the Yao Clan's possible retaliation.
But Shi Ling needed to get rid of our bored gamer first. She could not imagine carrying along such a dangerous unknown like our very own protagonist in her path back home.
”So what do you want in return, Master Clark?” Shi Ling asked in exasperation.
”I don't know yet but... I shall tell you once i decided on how you could repay the favor that you owe me, Shi Ling.”
Our good gamer replied easily and looked at the beautiful morning sun on the horizon.
”So shall we go?” He asked after a minute pause.
”Okay.” Shi Ling took a deep breath before she answered in helplessness.
”Good.” Clark commented and then the two of them resumed their halted journey. They spent more than a week until a huge city came into view in the distance.
The place was surrounded by tall walls that had sorcerous runes and markings on the surface. Even from afar, a dark intimidating force shrouded the entire city in defense.
This was by design which would discourage any monsters and magical beast to come in the domains of the city.
It was certainly a useful and clever trick to support an area that housed at least a hundred million people inside the metropolis.
”Welcome to the city of Aurora, Master Clark.” Shi Ling announced which ended their arduous journey on the road.

In another city near the influence of the Wandering Wind Sect, a family boiled in anger. They had just lost one of their own and was adamant to seek for justice.
”Send a party to investigate the death of my son. We shall repay this murder with the blood of an entire clan!” A furious voice echoed in the main halls of a luxurious mansion.
”Yes, master!” One shadowed form obeyed and was gone in an instant.

Aurora City, inside the ancestral home of the Shi Clan, our bored gamer was happily enjoying his first bath in a week.
He was received well as an important guest of the Shi Family and was now using these good comforts with ease.
Alas, the same could not be said to Shi Ling who was currently eating a handful of hard lectures from her father.
”WHAT?! SAY THAT AGAIN, DAUGHTER!” A towering middle aged man roared in disbelief.
