Chapter 164 Admission Tickets
"Your wings?" Yan Shi asked instinctively.
Wen Ying's expression instantly turned grim. She quickly folded her wings, and the golden light merged into her back, disappearing without a trace.
Without her wings, she landed back on the ground and looked up at Yan Shi.
The sea creatures fell back into the waves, and beneath the waves lay silence. The azure sea surged overhead, the only sound the crashing of the waves against the rooftops in the distance.
This sea creature didn't seem to need water to survive. It fell back into the waves and continued to fall, eventually coming to rest on the beach.
Wen Ying is small.
Only after being looked at by Wen Ying did Yan Shi belatedly realize that he was standing on the back of a sea monster.
That sea monster is so tall.
It's so high!
Moreover, although it was enveloped in a silvery light, there were no safety protection measures on the sea monster's back.
The back had a slippery, slimy texture typical of marine life, making Yan Shi feel like he could fall off at any moment.
Without hesitation, she slowly and gracefully sat down on the sea monster's back.

After sitting down, Yan Shi regained his train of thought.
Half a wing had just appeared behind Wen Ying.
A beautiful, golden half-wing.
It is very similar to that of Ishmael.
The problem isn't the half wing, but why does Wen Ying actually have wings...?
Yan Shi was stunned.
She and Wen Ying were true childhood friends who had studied together for three years.
They studied together for three years in a regular high school in the surface world, and then took the college entrance examination, not in an academy in the inner world.
Years later, she discovered that her classmate was not human.
Is this reasonable?!
wrong.
Yan Shi suddenly remembered that not long ago, at the underground altar of the Mithril Merchant Guild.
Wen Ying showed her a "memory" using the illusion of a mirror and the moon in the water.
In her memory, Wen Ying was called a freak by her classmates from Yanshi High School.
A hideous monster.
At the time, Yan Shi thought that this was an illusion created by Wen Ying to win her sympathy.
But now it seems that it might actually be true.
Wen Ying is a hybrid of elf and human.
This left Yan Shi quite bewildered for a moment.
Wen Ying's half-elf bloodline endowed her with exceptional eyesight, allowing her to clearly see Yan Lan's expression.
Yanlan's face was now filled with only excitement.
She even sat down, propped her head up with her hand, and looked at Wen Ying.
This reminds Wen Ying of many unpleasant memories.
Wen Ying gripped his sword even tighter.
As everyone knows, elves value their wings more than anything else and generally don't show them to others.
Because wings are a gift from the fairy mother goddess.
But only half of her wing remained.
Not to mention she was a half-elf, despised by the elves.
"You only have Yan Shi as your older sister," Wen Ying said coldly. "Even so, you still hurt her feelings."
“I lost. You’d better never let her know that you’re dead.”
Wen Ying did not explain the matter of the wings.
Yan Shi did not ask any further questions.
Just as she was about to jump off the sea monster's back and communicate with the water spirit to make the waves recede, a somewhat hoarse voice suddenly came from the sky, "I've found you."
Yan Shi looked up.
Beside the bright moon, a huge door appeared.
The door, made of obsidian, was tall and wide, radiating an eerie glow. From within, a skeletal hand reached out.
The hand extends upwards; the arm is not a single bone, but rather covered with some flesh and blood.
A man in black robes stepped out of the door and stood in front of the sea monster's head in a few leaps.
Yan Shi thought Wen Ying had said something quite right earlier.
Tonight is truly spectacular, so lively!
After Meng Shi and Chu Mengfu finished their fight, Yan Shi and Wen Ying began their battle.
Now another unknown man in black robes has arrived.
What I do know is that there's a black market auction on the Dono Sea tonight.
If you didn't know better, you'd think this was an arena.
Standing opposite him, Yan Shi realized that the man in black robes seemed rather short...?
It's very small.
Because the black robe was very long, it completely covered her lower body. With the sea breeze blowing, the area beneath the robe appeared empty.
The robe was clearly longer than his height.
Wen Ying, who was below, seemed to recognize the man in black robes. "Lily, what are you doing here?"
The man in black robes glanced at Wen Ying, then looked at Yan Shi, "I've come to retrieve my Undead Halberd."
Yan Shi suddenly remembered that it was the black-robed man who had raided Zhan Zhou at night.
“These are my spoils of war.” Yan Shi shrugged. “There’s no reason for me to give away what’s mine.”
Most importantly, Yan Shi genuinely found the Undead Halberd to be very useful.
Although she was always mistaken for the deceased.
He had no way to defend himself.

The man in black robes sneered, "Your things?"
Yan Shi replied confidently, "Of course."
She held the halberd tightly in her hand.
"Then let's see whose this is." The man in black robes did not try to seize it by force, but instead began to chant softly.
It was a language that Yan Shi couldn't understand at all. The syllables were connected, and when recited, it was like singing poetry.
As the chanting continued, the necromantic halberd began to vibrate and tremble, trying to break free from Yan Shi's grasp and fly towards the man in black robes.
The water spirit transformed into a rope, binding the halberd of the undead.
Without further hesitation, Yan Shi threw the Undead Halberd into the spatial gap.
Knowing that even gods can close spatial gaps, she didn't believe the black-robed man's chanting could cross space and allow the undead halberd to fly out.
The man in black robes: ...
The aura of the Undead Halberd vanished in an instant.
The man in black robes stopped chanting.
“Didn’t you say the Deathbringer’s Halberd was yours?” the man in black robes said. “Why don’t you dare let me finish reciting it?”
Yan Shi retorted confidently, "Why should I listen to you ramble on about my things?"
“I said,” Meng Shi stepped out from one side of the alley and shouted, looking up, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now. I’m really in a hurry.”
Wen Ying said coldly, "What's your hurry? The auction doesn't start for another half hour."
“I don’t hit the beat,” Teacher Meng smiled. “It’s a good quality I have.”
When Meng Shi called out to him like that, Yan Shi thought of Chu Meng Fu Lai again.
She carefully leaped down from the sea monster.
Shui Ling held her firmly, giving her a sense of security and stability.
After Yan Shi landed, the sea beast roared again, then leaped up from the beach and jumped into the waves above.
The sea creature sank back into the Dono Sea with the waves. After creating a huge splash, the sea returned to calm.
Yan Shi looked at Chu Mengfu, whose injuries seemed to have improved.
Her left arm still hung limply at her side. She stood silently beside Lin Cai.
"Chu Mengfu," Yan Shi asked, "what do you need the black market auction admission ticket for?"
They still resorted to robbery to take it from Master Meng.
We just happened to kick a hornet's nest.
Chu Mengfu pursed his lips. "I heard that the highlight of this black market auction is the admission ticket to the Floating City."
Tickets to the Floating City?
What is this thing?
Yan Shi remembered that the owner of the shed in front told her that many important people had come to the black market auction, all for the final item. Was this it?
Master Meng sneered, "I knew it."
Chu Mengfu continued to explain in a low voice, "The number of admission tickets issued to the Floating City each year, apart from those issued by the government, is limited. Apart from the black market auction, I can't find another place to obtain admission tickets to go there."
With less than half an hour to go before the black market auction, Chu Mengfu was well aware that he had completely lost the chance to compete for the Floating City entry ticket.
Her voice was tinged with sadness.
Yan Shi: "You're going to the Floating City?"
Chu Mengfu: "I've heard that the Floating City is a city built by beings from the surface world who are wandering."
