Chapter 68: To The Dark Sand City

The next morning was Tang Yin day to leave, so he was accompanied by Huang Feifei, Li Mei, Li Mao, and Zhang Feiju.

The rest of the acquaintances he had in the Imperial City were busy.

The flying boat he was about to leave on was already about to take off, so Tang Yin smiled.

"Feifei, I hope when I see you again, you'll be stronger, see you." Tang Yin said as he gave Huang Feifei a long kiss.

She reluctantly nodded.

"...Don't worry, Tang Yin. I won't let you down, when we meet again, I can travel with you." She replied firmly, and Tang Yin then smiled and nodded.

"Miss Li and Li Mao, I hope you will continue to work hard during this time." He said and then looked at Elder Zhang.

"Don't forget your promise, Elder Zhang." He said and then turned around to get on the flying boat.

He wasn't going to stay long talking to anyone, and he didn't expect to get a response from them either, it was better if he left at once.

The last three who were named also nodded and answered him, but Tang Yin simply waved his hand in farewell.

Huang Feifei looked up after seeing that he was already walking away a bit. Her eyes were a bit watery, but she still smiled.

'His way of saying goodbye is always the same, he doesn't like to say much, he turns around and then waves goodbye.' She thought with a smile.

She knew that when she saw him again, she would be strong enough to travel with him.

At least she wanted to return to the empire where she was born to take revenge together with him, so she would try her best to do so.

Even though she was sad and not feeling well, she still smiled beautifully.

"...I hope you are well at all times. I'll be sure to meet your expectations." She said in a small, almost inaudible whisper.

After watching the flying boat set sail, Huang Feifei and the rest returned to the Academy.

She would have lonely days ahead of her...

...

A few days later...

Tang Yin had once again witnessed how great this continent was during these days of travel.

This flying boat is a VIP flying boat that offers long-distance travel at a fast speed. Not many people can afford it, and it is beautifully decorated, but the truth is that because it is expensive to travel on this ship, it is a ship that travels at a high speed.

And the speed was even praised by Tang Yin when he saw it.

But, despite that...

It would still take two whole weeks to get from Imperial City to Desert City.

'Shit, this place is really big.' Tang Yin thought helplessly.

But he was very satisfied with the service they provided and the steadiness of this flying boat.

The service was like that of a high-end restaurant; because the ship never wobbled, one could rest peacefully.

In addition, during the day, he could enjoy a good view of the scenery, and during the night, he could enjoy a beautiful starry sky, as was the case today, although sometimes clouds prevented him from enjoying the scenery.

As a faithful lover of starry skies, Tang Yin sat looking at the beautiful starry sky in front of him, thinking many things, and so he spent the night...

Thus, enjoying his journey with the few people who were on the boat, Tang Yin spent two weeks of travel.

Those who could travel on this boat had money because a single trip of that distance cost 10 thousand spiritual gold coins. Thus few talked to him along the way.

Most of them were cultivators to begin with, seeing that Tang Yin was just a normal human, they would not bother to talk to him.

When it was the evening of the last day in this place, still a few hours to go, Tang Yin, as usual, was looking at the starry sky quietly, but soon came a voice that disturbed his peace of mind a bit since it brought him out of his thoughts.

"It's amazing what scenery you can see in a desert at night, right?" A soft and beautiful voice sounded beside him.

Tang Yin turned to look and noticed a beautiful young woman standing there. He had seen her several times during this time.

She is a girl of about 27 years old who is in the early stages of the Fifth Cultivation Realm. But she is a person who has quite an incredible escort.

They are all Sixth Realm Cultivators, and there are 5 of them in total.

So, Tang Yin tried to stay away from them during this time.

They were the strongest group in this place next to a person who is at the peak of the Sixth Realm and travels alone.

Tang Yin nodded with a smile.

"Indeed, it's a beautiful scenery always." He replied and turned his gaze back to the sky.

"It seems that Young Master is not a person who likes to talk a lot, sorry if I make him uncomfortable. I don't usually travel alone much, so I don't feel comfortable being silent for so long and just cultivating." She said with some embarrassment and looked for a chair to sit on.

Tang Yin smiled at her.

"You have a large escort, is that considered traveling alone?" Tang Yin asked with a small chuckle at the end.

She laughed a little too.

"Hehe, actually it is. I'm returning home after a while and the Elders went to pick me up, but it's annoying to be traveling so long with them. They worry too much." She replied, and Tang Yin nodded.

He had to agree on that.

"Well, you're right about that. Adventures are best done with the company of people you enjoy." Tang Yin said, and she nodded quickly and several times.

"It seems that Young Master understands me too." She said, and Tang Yin simply smiled.

"Are you heading towards the northern region? Or is it towards one of the desert cities?" She asked.

"Oh, the desert has several cities? I'm heading to a city, called Dark Sand City, I don't know if you know it." Tang Yin replied.

He was a little interested to hear the topic of 'desert cities'.

Normally, there wouldn't be more than one city in a desert because it's hard to get an oasis to build in these places.

She looked at him somewhat surprised.

"Don't you know? Aren't you from this region?" She asked doubtfully, and Tang Yin nodded.

She then understood.

'He traveling alone from another Region? That's surprising, considering he's not a cultivator...' She thought and then looked at the night sky.

"There are Four Cities in the Northeast Desert, also called the Great Desert of the Eastern Region. Dark Sand City is only one of them, it is the weakest too, but strangely it is the richest." She replied, and Tang Yin then nodded.

"You are from this region?" Tang Yin asked, and she nodded.

"My Family is a Family from the Desert King City, the main one of the Four Cities." She replied and then turned around and raised a hand to introduce herself to him.

"My name is Wang Yuwen, by the way." She said, and Tang Yin then shook his hand.

"Tang Yin." He replied as he nodded to her.

She then smiled.

"Looks like we're already there." She said as she noticed the city lights very close, Tang Yin then stood up a little, and she followed him.

"Oh, no wonder they call it Dark Sand. It's a bit of a desert anomaly, eh." He said calmly as he saw that all the sand around this city was dark as if it had been painted black.

She smiled and nodded. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"It's the most special city of the four and that's why it's so famous and therefore so rich. Plus, it receives the protection of the King of the Desert." She spoke.

With the speed of the boat was practically already on the outskirts of the city, so in a little while it would be time to park and get off, so she smiled at Tang Yin.

"Young Master Tang Yin, I will be staying a few nights in this city because I want to participate in an auction, so, if you feel lonely and want to chat, you can visit me at the city lord's castle. Also..." After saying that, she took out a token from her storage bag and handed it to him.

"If you feel interested in visiting the auction, you can enter with that token, as long as you want to sell something or show you have money to buy." She said, and it coincided just as the elders came for her.

"Miss, it's almost time to come down." They said, and she nodded and said goodbye to Tang Yin.

"Nice to meet you, I hope you do well on your journey. Thank you very much for the invitation." Tang Yin replied with a smile, and then he also went downstairs.

There were no events beyond the normal.

That night, he was able to sleep peacefully because he had achieved something important.

He had been told about that auction, and he had not expected to be able to talk to a person who would invite him without him saying anything...

Fate has its own way of moving, he thought.
