Human King City...
Legend has it that the city was the first to appear when the Human King was born.
A great war between the human king and the demon race once took place here.
Legend has it that the great battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth collapsed, and at that time, the human race was in a critical moment of survival.
Of the hundreds of formidable passes the human race had built, only the last three, along with the final core area, remained after being breached.
Ahead lay the menacing demon race, behind them lay the human race, mired in despair.
Clad in black armor, with flowing white hair, possessing an unyielding spirit and unparalleled elegance, he stood atop a black dragon that blotted out the sky, with the seven colors of the Great Dao behind him, and the resounding voice of the Heavenly Dao echoing endlessly.
There are countless powerful demons who dare to stand against them, yet one person alone can withstand the attacks of ten thousand.
After the great battle, the Human King was severely injured. However, his ruthlessness led him to divide heaven and earth, isolate the world, and take a corner of the world, countless corpses of demons, and the resentment of the strong, which he then fused into the Yin-Yang Pendants.
The jade pendants possessed unparalleled power, which the demons feared greatly. Later, as time passed, the two pendants disappeared from the world.
The silver-haired girl is named Chenxi.
He was hailed by the human race as one of the most outstanding talents in the world.
Chenxi sat quietly on the edge of the inn, sipping tea and listening to the storyteller recount the tale of the Yin-Yang Jade Pendants.
She was picked up from a pile of corpses by her master. She had no name, but because of her exceptional talent, her master named her Chenxi, the rising sun of the human race, the future towering red sun, hoping that she could illuminate all the darkness of the human race.
She had already read the storyteller's tales in books, and in much greater detail, such as... the enormous difference in combat strength between the two sides.
On one side was the elite demon army that had won consecutive victories, and on the other side was the defensive army that was far inferior in overall strength.
She even knew a thing or two about the core of the story, the Yin-Yang Jade Pendants. According to her master, one half seemed to have fallen into the hands of the demons, and it was very likely that it was shattered and destroyed. The other half remains unknown to this day.
Chenxi listened quietly as the storyteller's tale unfolded with dramatic twists and turns.
However, the group of people soon caught her attention...
Perhaps it was a mutual inspiration between geniuses, or perhaps it was destiny.
Not long after Haotian and his group, all cloaked in black, entered the shop, Diefang locked eyes with her.
But the gaze quickly shifted again.
In those eyes, Chenxi saw a youthful arrogance no less than her own...
A slight smile finally appeared on her usually indifferent face. She looked at the tea in her hand and took another small sip.
Whose disciples could they be? From the Sword Domain? Or... other races?
The people inside the inn just glanced at Haotian and her group.
Perhaps it's because tomorrow is the Day of the Kings, and they are all covered by black cloaks, which gives off a slightly sinister and malicious feeling.
But no one stopped them.
The previous person, wearing a black cloak, was stopped. It turned out that he was a renowned figure from the Elven race, and had caused quite a stir. He was immediately taken away by the Human King's Palace for allegedly sowing discord between the two races.
As Chenxi listened to the story, her master soon contacted her.
...
The first and second floors of the inn are for eating and drinking tea, while the third floor and above are for accommodation.
Haotian and his group went up to the second floor, chose a table near the window, called the waiter, and ordered some food.
However, Haotian was still setting up some illusions.
If anyone were to see the Human King in the inn, the news would spread like wildfire in Human King City, and the inn would be packed with people in no time. Haotian didn't want to ruin his time enjoying the classic dishes.
Before the dishes were served, the waiter brought everyone a pot of fine tea. While drinking the tea, they listened to the storyteller recount many stories about the King of Men.
Wenxin finished her tea in one gulp, practically wanting to cling to Haotian: "Master, Master, are those Yin-Yang Pendants real? Where are they now?"
Perhaps it was his detached nature, but even as the storyteller praised him so highly, Haotian remained calm and composed.
The little black dog that had been nestled in Wen's heart couldn't help but roll over.
It's a pity I can't take human form; otherwise, enjoying tea and music would be quite nice.
Indeed, back then, she was incredibly powerful, standing above Xiao Hei. The demons were so terrified by her massive body that they collapsed to the ground before the battle even began.
"That's true. I only remember that one piece was lost and the other was given away. I really don't know where it is now."
Da Fangying, who was floating nearby, couldn't help but ask, "Then what's the use of this jade pendant?"
Upon hearing this, even Diefang, Xinyu, and Xiaofangying couldn't help but look at Haotian.
Haotian simply raised a cup of tea and took a small, elegant sip, as if deliberately whetting people's appetites.
His expression seemed to be slightly contemplating something.
Explaining the specific functions to them probably wouldn't be enough for them to understand.
"Probably, the damage a person who wears it can inflict on demons will be several times greater? Of course, it's only effective against demons. If the demons find out you're wearing the jade pendant, it might attract even more hatred."
Haotian's simple explanation quickly made everyone understand.
Then the food was served.
Diefang smiled and picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of spirit meat, and held it to Haotian's lips.
Seeing this, Wenxin quickly picked up several pieces of meat and stuffed them into her mouth. While chewing the food, she then imitated Diefang and picked up some meat, offering it to Haotian's mouth.
Before Haotian could say anything, a certain dragon became jealous.
"I'm so angry! You never put food on my plate like this before. Here's your chance to make it up to you."
As Xiao Hei spoke, its small body floated on the dining table, facing Haotian, and opened its dragon mouth.
The joyful smile on Haotian's beautiful face gradually turned gloomy.
He stretched out a hand and swiftly and decisively locked Xiao Hei's dragon neck, gripping it tightly in his palm, and pulled it in front of her.
When Xiao Hei realized what was happening, he saw Hao Tian's stunningly beautiful face, which seemed to be smiling—a threatening and sinister smile.
"If you dare to misbehave again, believe me, I'll make you eat under the table. Do you really think this is still the same as before?"
Little Black immediately wilted.
However, she ate the food that Wenxin and Diefang had given to Haotian.
Fortunately, thanks to Haotian's illusion magic, otherwise a 'snake' that floats in the air would also have affected the quality of their lunch.
Perhaps only Diefang harbored ulterior motives during this lunch.
She glanced at Haotian's rosy and charming cherry lips from time to time.
Diefang wanted to kiss him, but she didn't know what legitimate reason to use, so she could only watch longingly.
The storyteller's tale was captivating, and as the story ended, a figure slowly approached them...
