"I think it's because of that..." the driver said, pointing to the fiery clouds on the horizon.
"What do you mean?" Mo Shang frowned.
"The Central City uses the sunset as a means of predicting good or bad fortune. This fiery cloud foretells the arrival of disaster, so the only option is to order a city lockdown."
"Then how do we get in?" Mo Shang asked, speechless with astonishment.
"There's nothing we can do but wait. We can only open the city gates and go in when there are no more fiery clouds at night," the coachman said helplessly.
Mo Shang was even angrier. "Damn it! If it weren't for that guy Gu Liyan, I wouldn't have ended up here! Damn it! And those two little bitches! Damn it!"
Mo Shang cursed and swore at Gu Liyan and the other two.
Little did he know that if he hadn't delayed for two days, he wouldn't have been locked out of the city.
Meanwhile, Hua Xiaoxiao and Zixin, who had been abandoned on the road by Mo Shang, were swiftly traversing the jungle, leaping and bounding across tree branches like monkeys moving freely.
Zi Xin suddenly pointed to the Central City in the distance and exclaimed excitedly, "I see the Central City!"

Hua Xiaoxiao looked disappointed. "There's nothing we can do but wait."
Zi Xin sighed, feeling helpless.
Just then, Zixin suddenly noticed several carriages. "Xiaoxiao, look!"
Hua Xiaoxiao looked in the direction Zi Xin was pointing and immediately frowned. "Mo Shang!"
Hua Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and walked towards Mo Shang's direction: After all, he was someone she used to like, so she thought he would have a way to get into the city!
Zi Xin followed along somewhat reluctantly.
Mo Shang kept looking around outside the city for other entrances, but his mind was racing with anxiety.
"Over there, over there! You guys go over there and take a look!" Mo Shang directed from the carriage.
Suddenly his gaze fell on Hua Xiaoxiao and the other person, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
