"Sis, hold on to me, don't get lost."
After the waterfall whale left, Water Dodo grabbed her sister's hand and walked towards the harbor.
Shui Qingqing grasped her younger brother's hand and exclaimed, "There are so many people!"
This was the first time in her life she had ever seen so many people.
I'm getting trypophobia.
Looking at the densely packed crowd, the initial anticipation and excitement faded, replaced by helplessness and bewilderment.
How will they survive in this unfamiliar city?
Although I've heard that Bright City is very prosperous and it's easier to make a living there, who knows if it's really true?
No sooner had I thought that than someone offered me money.
At the port exit, a bright and flamboyant red flying car hovers in mid-air.
Flying is not allowed in Bright City, except for the city lord and deputy city lord.
The city lord rarely leaves his home and seldom appears before the city's residents, so the owner of this flying vehicle is undoubtedly the deputy city lord, Chi Shuang.
The flying car transformed in the air, becoming a dazzling catwalk, where Chi Shuang, dressed in a red dress, appeared before everyone, attracting the attention of almost everyone.
Shui Qingqing let out a soft exclamation of amazement: "Who is that? So beautiful! How can someone be so beautiful?"
Shui Duoduo looked at her sister with a headache. This woman was a femme fatale. She looked beautiful, but who knew how many people she had preyed on in private.
Someone nearby said with an air of superiority, "Kid, you're from out of town, right? This is our Bright City's Deputy City Lord, Crimson Frost. Not only is she incredibly beautiful, but she's also extremely powerful. Let me tell you..."
She kept talking and talking, her expression so fervent and her eyes so bright, that she clearly regarded Chi Shuang as a goddess.
However, as soon as Chi Shuang spoke, he stopped and looked up to listen to her reverently.
"I am very sorry to all the guests on Sand Turtle No. 7. It is because our Bright City did not do a good job in the cleanup that you were frightened."
"We will make appropriate compensation to each guest later, and we hope that everyone has a pleasant time on the island."
After Chishuang finished speaking, staff members led the guests on Sand Turtle No. 7 to the reception area.
Shui Duoduo and her sister went with them, and when they came out, they had an extra 100 crystal coins in their pockets as compensation.
Shui Qingqing was led out by her younger brother, still feeling unreal, as if she were walking on sand and was sinking into it.
"Duoduo, no wonder I always heard people say that Bright City is a paradise on earth in the apocalypse. I used to think that those people were exaggerating, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"100 crystal coins! Just because we were frightened, they lost so much money."
Shui Qingqing said this in a low voice, because she was afraid of being overheard and attracting covetousness.
But the excitement and exhilaration she felt inside were not easily suppressed, and she couldn't help but jump up and down a few times.
Having weathered many storms, Shui Duoduo wouldn't care about 100 crystal coins.
But seeing how happy his sister was, he couldn't help but be infected by her joy.
"Now you don't have to worry about us going hungry and sleeping on the streets, right?"
Shui Qingqing looked at him in surprise, "How did you know I was worried about this?"
Shui Duoduo smiled without saying a word.
My sister's thoughts are very straightforward, and they are all written on her face, so how could he not see them?
"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first, and then we'll think about other things."
Led by Shui Duoduo, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the siblings arrived at Dongda Street and finally stopped in front of Ping'an Hotel.
"This hotel looks clean and cozy, shall we stay here?"
Shui Qingqing tugged at him: "Won't it be too expensive? Why don't we go stay in the shack? The rent is only 10 crystal beans a day. We'll definitely have a lot of expenses in the future, so we should be careful with our money."
Shui Duoduo knew she would say that, so she turned around and looked at her seriously.
"Sis, don't worry, I'll be able to earn a lot of money in the future, so you can spend it however you want. Those 100 crystal coins are free anyway, so let's splurge a little, how about it?"
"But……"
"Alright, enough with the 'buts,' let's go inside."
Shui Qingqing couldn't resist her younger brother's insistence and was dragged inside by him.

Xin Sui did not immediately go to find Shui Duoduo.
It's not appropriate for her to show up at their door so soon after they arrived.
It would be better to wait until the siblings are settled in and familiar with their surroundings before going there.
But in less than a day, she was forced to change her mind.
Because she saw a red butterfly fly out of Xuan Tu's courtyard and fly towards the outside of the tower.
A red butterfly... a blood butterfly?!
"System, is that the Blood Butterfly?"
[Yes. ]
Oh no!
The Blood Butterfly was created by the Earth Core Clan specifically to find Water.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the background of the male protagonist, Shui Duoduo.
As the male protagonist of a novel, how could he not have a bizarre background?
He and his sister Shui Qingqing are of mixed race; their mother is human, while their father is from the subterranean world.
A man named Zhong Kui opposed the Inner Earth Tribe's invasion of the Earth's surface and their practice of keeping humans as captive.
In any group, it is impossible for all members to have completely unified thoughts, and the united Inner Earth Tribe is no exception.
Just as some people love war, others naturally love peace.
Zhong Kui is a peace lover and one of the few Inner Earth tribes who are relatively friendly to humans.
Therefore, in order to stop the subterranean race from invading the surface, he gave the crucial item for the success of this plan—the Six Paths Divine Box—to Shui Miaomiao, a human, so that she could take the Six Paths Divine Box with her.
Without the Six Paths Divine Box, if the Earth Core Clan were to come to the surface, it would be equivalent to smuggling themselves in, and their strength in all aspects would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, they absolutely must retrieve this item.
So they used Zhong Kui's blood to cultivate Blood Butterflies in order to find the offspring that Shui Miaomiao had conceived for them.
However, since half of Shui Duoduo's Earth Core Clan bloodline had not been activated, the Blood Butterfly could not sense it and therefore had no way to find it.
Until he was reborn, his bloodline awakened, and he formed a contract with the Six Paths Divine Box.
At that moment, the Blood Butterfly stirred.
Thus, the Earth Core Clan learned that the bloodline of Zhong Kui's descendants had awakened.
Finding Zhong Kui's descendants means that the Six Paths Divine Box has been located!
If Blood Butterfly finds Watery, then we're doomed.
Xin Sui guessed that since Shui Duoduo had been reborn, she should be prepared for this, but she was still a little worried.
After all, he had only been reborn for a short time, and having the means but no means to use them would be a waste.
No, she had to go there immediately.
"System, I haven't claimed the reward for a previous mission yet. Now I've figured out what reward I want: a pair of items that can conceal one's bloodline."
As Xin Sui raced toward the Blood Butterfly, he spoke to the system in his mind.
[Reward - A pair of jade pendants that can conceal one's bloodline, already placed in the host's spatial ring]
Xin Sui didn't bother to check; at that moment, all she could see was the bright red, blood-red butterfly.
