After finishing our meal, we took a stroll around the city, hoping to gather some information, but the locals weren't very interested in dealing with outsiders.

Shen Zhiyi had no choice but to give up.

After wandering around for a while and buying some things, Shen Zhiyi went out of the city gate in the same direction and returned to the small fishing village.

"Oh my, you're here so early!" The old lady greeted Shen Zhiyi warmly when she saw her return.

Shen Zhiyi smiled and replied, "Yes."

"I've packed all the fish for you, come with me to get it."

The old woman led Shen Zhiyi to a small warehouse where seafood was stored.

"The seafood is all here, you can just take it." The old lady pointed to the seafood in the warehouse.

Shen Zhiyi was somewhat shocked when she saw the seafood in front of her. So much?

After giving the old woman the remaining items, Shen Zhiyi took away the seafood from the warehouse.

The old woman was very happy to receive the fruit from Shen Zhiyi. After thinking for a moment, she told her some information: "You must be back at your lodgings before tonight."

"If you are not back before seven o'clock, do not pay attention to anyone who talks to you, whether you know them or not."

"Especially if someone wearing a black robe blocks your way, just pretend you don't see them and don't pay any attention to them."

Shen Zhiyi pressed further, "Is there anything else?"

But the old woman refused to say anything more.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should head home now and not linger outside."

Shen Zhiyi bid farewell to the old woman and walked towards the city gate.

She still had some doubts. Before she left the small fishing village, the old woman's expression clearly showed that she wanted to tell her something but was unable to do so because of something.

Shen Zhiyi sighed; even attending a dance party couldn't bring her peace.

As she walked, she glanced at the time on the control panel. She needed to be back at the hotel before seven o'clock; she didn't want to get into any unnecessary trouble right now.

But when Shen Zhiyi saw the time, she was stunned. She went to the small fishing village a little after four o'clock, and it was already six-thirty after only staying there for a short while.

He quickly quickened his pace.

After walking for a while, she wondered to herself why the city gate was so far away. She hadn't noticed it when she left at noon.

After walking for a while, Shen Zhiyi finally realized that something was wrong with the way back to the city.

I opened the panel and glanced at the time again; sure enough, it had changed to 7:01.

Shen Zhiyi's expression darkened, and she released the black wolf.

Looking around, I realized there were no pedestrians on the road anymore.

She didn't notice when the pedestrians disappeared; it was as if they had vanished into thin air.

At that moment, a person dressed in a white robe appeared in front of them.

It walked straight towards Shen Zhiyi.

Black Wolf took two steps and stood in front of Shen Zhiyi, preventing the man in white robes from getting close.

The man in white stopped in front of the black wolf.

The wide brim of the hat obscured the face of the man in the white robe, revealing only his chin.

But its chin is a bit strange; the color is odd, unlike what a normal person should have.

Am I pretty?

The man in white asked Shen Zhiyi a question.

Its voice was very hoarse, and it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female.

Shen Zhiyi frowned and remained silent, but the man in white robes continued to press, "Am I pretty?"

Why aren't you saying anything? Do you think I'm not good-looking?

Do you also think that black is the most beautiful color? Do you also hate white?

"You're beautiful," Shen Zhiyi replied decisively.

She clearly sensed that if she didn't answer the man in white, something serious was about to happen.

The dangerous aura emanating from the white-robed man paused for a moment, then disappeared.

"You're right, I'm the most beautiful. Those who say black looks good are all trash!"

The man in white walked past Shen Zhiyi, muttering to himself that white was the best color and that black was associated with bad people.

Shen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the man in white walk away until he disappeared from sight.

Turning back to continue towards the city gate, I found that pedestrians had reappeared on the road.

However, most of them were in a hurry, rushing home.

Shen Zhiyi opened the panel and glanced at the time; there were still about ten minutes until seven o'clock.

The change in time must have been caused by that man in white robes. It delayed me for a while, and I don't know if I'll make it back to the hotel in time.

Fearing that leaving the black wolf outside would attract attention, it was brought back into the pet space.

They hurried toward the city gate.

The good news is that we got back to Begalo City before 7 o'clock; the bad news is that it will be 7 o'clock in two minutes.

The pedestrians on the street have all returned to their homes.

Looking around, all the doors were tightly shut.

Shen Zhiyi was the only one left on the entire main street.

Shen Zhiyi already had the Moon Gazing Spear in her hand; she couldn't make it back to the hotel anytime soon.

If a man in black robes really blocks our way, we might have no choice but to fight.

She had only taken a few steps when she encountered the man in black robes that the old woman had mentioned.

Remembering what the old woman had told her, Shen Zhiyi pretended not to see the man in black.

But the man in black robes still followed.

"Did you see me?" It was the voice of a young girl.

It even ran up to Shen Zhiyi, trying to stop her.

But Shen Zhiyi just kept walking straight ahead, so the man in black robes had to dodge to avoid her bumping into him.

Shen Zhiyi's eyes flickered; it seemed the man in black robes couldn't have physical contact with others.

The man in black robes stopped in his tracks and muttered, "Can't he really see me?"

Shen Zhiyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon confirming that the man in black robes had not followed.

But before long, the man in black robes caught up with them again.

"Sister, I know you've seen me. Come and play with me!" The man in black robes followed Shen Zhiyi.

Shen Zhiyi ignored her and continued walking forward.

Just as she was about to reach the hotel, the man in the black robe seemed to have noticed something and suddenly ran forward.

"Brother, can you see me?"

Ji Shuochen was stunned for a moment when he saw the black-robed man who suddenly appeared.

The black-robed man's previously hidden smile gradually widened. "I can see it, that would be best if I could see it."

"What are you talking about? Wearing a big black robe, it's hard not to see him."

Jiang Chi, who chased after Ji Shuochen from the hotel, was too late to stop him.

Several other men in black robes suddenly appeared beside the man in the black robe.

He was much taller than the black-robed man who was speaking.

The tall, black-robed man stepped forward and blocked Ji Shuochen's path.

"Hey! What are you doing! What are you doing! Let me go!"

Several tall men in black robes grabbed Ji Shuochen and ran away.

Jiang Chi had no choice but to use his weapon to deal with the man in black robes.

The man in black robes who had been speaking suddenly spoke up: "Brother, you saw me too, didn't you?"

Jiang Chi ignored him and headed straight in the direction where Ji Shuochen had been taken away.

The man in black robes said again, "Brother, it's really impolite to ignore people."

"Why don't you and this older sister go and keep him company?"
