401 The Little Donkeys Persistence (1/2)

Within the past two weeks, besides the three autonomous zones, the construction of the remaining city had gone on as per usual. However, everyone had their eyes on the battle between the autonomous zones and Wang Baole. As a result, no one noticed the strange new face in the new city.

Of course, even if there had been no such fight, this additional presence wouldn't have been discovered. After all, while there hadn't been a mass influx of new residents to the city, the current city population had already exceeded two hundred million people.

One person to such a vast city was akin to a grain of sand to a vast desert.

That was especially so when this person was adept at disguising his looks and concealing his presence. Perhaps… his cultivation was of such a high and unfathomable level, resulting in his presence not being easily detected.

At present, in the new city zone under Jin Duoming's charge, within one of its alleys, there was a young cultivator dressed in blue robes conversing happily with someone he had just gotten to know but had nevertheless become good friends with.

”Brother Jiang, the person you're talking about, is it our City Lord Wang? He's an important figure. He's really amazing!” The cultivator beside the blue-robed young man seemed to have drank quite a bit of wine. The man next to him said something. He laughed and replied.

”City Lord Wang graduated from the Ethereal Dao College, one of the four Dao Colleges. He progressed up the ranks swiftly. He is the true nobody who ascended up the ranks, step by step, to reach where he is today!”

The blue-robed young man smiled and nodded as he listened to the other speak. He didn't say much himself. They walked further and further away into the distance. His partner didn't realize that there was a fire burning deep inside the blue-robed man's eyes. It was like the Dark Fire, burning strong without signs of extinguishing.

His partner also didn't know that this young man in blue robes whom he had just befriended wasn't someone from the new city. What he was seeing wasn't the latter's true form.

Perhaps, what he should really look like, was a figure covered in black robes, from head to toe…

They walked further into the distance. An hour passed. Suddenly… a black figure dashed from afar into this quiet alley. It revealed itself as it neared. It was the donkey!

Nobody in the city had noticed the strangeness of this blue-robed young man, but the faint scent that it exuded didn't escape the donkey, whose obsession with food had reached perverse extremes.

From the initial construction of the new city zone to its current transformation into a new city, the donkey had been seemingly wandering around, leaving behind random and indiscernible tracks. In fact, it had been searching for the food that it had eaten previously and couldn't get out of its mind.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

But the food was cunning. The donkey had been searching for it for a very long time but hadn't been able to find it. It didn't give up though. It continued to persevere. Finally, today, it caught a scent similar to that of the food. It was slightly different, but seemed to originate from the same source!

It had raced over excitedly. It sniffed around in the alley, seemingly surprised and confused as to why the scents were similar and yet different. It didn't think too much about it though. It swallowed visibly and, with eyes shining, it continued searching…

The donkey wanted the food all to itself. It wasn't going to let Wang Baole know about its discovery, not that Wang Baole had time to waste on the donkey anyways.

From the way Wang Baole saw it, it was good that the donkey was out and about. At least it was taking care of its own meals. Else, if it had stuck religiously to his side, the thought of its bottomless pit of a stomach and how it never seemed satisfied after a meal might drive Wang Baole into slaughtering it once and for all.

As a result, he only checked up on the donkey's condition daily to ensure that its life signs remained stable. Besides that, Wang Baole didn't pay it much attention. He would then leave his office and return to his residence.

Wang Baole seldom visited his new residence in the new city since he had an entire office building to himself. Be it seclusion or refining Dharmic Artifacts—he had a designated space for it. There were also numerous cultivators and employees from various departments in the building, as well as more female cultivators than male cultivators, which made it very pleasing to the eye.

However, Wang Baole finally felt slightly inappropriate for staying such a length of time in the office. Especially when it came to studying Dharmic Armaments and their refinement—if something were to happen and resulted in a building collapse, it would adversely affect others.
