Douluo: Start by taking control of the Holy Spirit Church Saint

Chapter 493 Yelin City, Lantern Festival (for the reward from Shenyuanwai 956)
"Where to go?"

Before Bibi Dong could react, Huo Yuhao pulled her out.

The two stood side by side in the space corridor. Even though it was just a moment of teleportation, it felt extremely long to Bibi Dong.

She subconsciously clenched Huo Yuhao's hand, as if she was a little afraid of the Douluo Continent that she was about to arrive at.

She was once crazy about love and was played around by her closest teacher. She dragged her dirty body and cried out in despair to that cruel world.

The powerful empire she built with her own hands almost destroyed the continent. Now she is about to return to her homeland. The complicated feelings she feels are something that ordinary people cannot understand.

The power of Haodong flowed through the clenched hands of the two. As if sensing her change in mood, Huo Yuhao took a slight step forward.

"We are all evil little monsters, and there is always Ultraman who wants to kill us..." The shoulders of the grown-up boy are not broad, but they seem to be able to block everything in front of the girl behind him. His sonorous and powerful words show his determination.

"In that case, let's put the world under our feet——"

When they arrived at the exit, the light at that moment illuminated Huo Yuhao’s back, so bright that the girl was unable to fully open her beautiful eyes.

This is an ancient city that combines Gothic and Renaissance styles.

The towering spires and magnificent flying buttresses look solemn and mysterious under the setting sun. On both sides of the street, Baroque-style buildings stand in a solemn row, and the stone carvings reflect a little light in the sun, as if telling the glorious history of the ancient city.

As the daylight moves, the bustling market gradually fades away. Night market vendors set up stalls along the street, with a wide variety of goods, from brightly colored cloth to delicate accessories, all attracting the attention of passers-by. The vendors' shouts rise and fall, interweaving with the church bells in the distance to form a living city symphony.

"This is..." The corners of Bibi Dong's mouth twitched slightly, and her beautiful eyes were full of crystal.

"Yelin City." Huo Yuhao gently hugged the girl and soothed her emotions.

The carved doors and windows cast mottled shadows under the setting sun, like a series of exquisite silhouettes. The street cafes began to welcome the first batch of customers, and the rich aroma of coffee and freshly baked bread filled the air. Gentlemen and ladies chatted elegantly on the open-air seats, and their whispers and laughter drifted gently in the wind, adding a touch of vitality to this ancient town.

The stone bridge where the two of them stopped was the best place to watch the prosperity of the city. Huo Yuhao felt Bibi Dong's palms sweating slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of shock at the beautiful scenery. Their sight passed through the crowd and they could see the church spire in the distance, which was the landmark building of Yelin City. Under the setting sun, the church spire was like a sword pointing to the sky, wrapped in golden light, appearing more sacred and unattainable. The sunlight shone through the stained glass windows, sprinkling on the exquisite tapestries and sculptures. The church was filled with devout recitations, and the believers prayed devoutly in front of the altar. The quiet and sacred atmosphere enveloped every inch of space.

“Perhaps everything is just a coincidence, but thank God.” Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, “Do you know what day it is today?”

His words made Bibi Dong's delicate body tremble violently. She immediately raised her face full of disbelief and looked at the young man beside her.

How could she forget this important festival? It was her lifelong regret...

The shops on the street began to light up, and the orange-yellow light echoed the afterglow of the sunset, setting a warm tone for the night in the city. The aroma of delicious food came from the restaurant, inviting passers-by to stop and taste it. Music overflowed from a corner, floating softly in the air.

In the square, people dressed in gorgeous clothes strolled leisurely or chatted by the fountain. The vendors pushed carts full of goods and shouted one after another, adding a touch of liveliness to the ancient city. Children chased and played by the fountain, their laughter intertwined with the splashes of water, forming a cheerful movement.

From time to time, Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong heard the sound of small boats crossing the water in the distance. Those were tourist boats shuttling through the river, carrying tourists to appreciate the charm of this ancient city.

As the lights came on, Yellin City showed another kind of prosperity. More and more people walked on the street, carriages rumbled on the cobblestone road, and gentlemen in tuxedos, holding hands with ladies in evening gowns, walked into the brightly lit theaters or concert halls together.

In the distance, the bells of the clock tower rang, echoing in the empty sky, announcing the end of the day. Passersby looked up, and the towering clock tower looked more solemn and ancient against the backdrop of the setting sun. Some tourists took out their drawing boards, trying to capture the beauty of this moment and record this brief but eternal moment with their brushes.

This young and beautiful couple attracted a lot of attention from passers-by, but no one disturbed their time together.

Under the night, Yelin City is prosperous yet peaceful. The interweaving of light and shadow is like a moving oil painting, making people indulge in this magnificent place in another world. The Lantern Festival in Yelin City is the most splendid night of this ancient capital. On both sides of the street, the quaint buildings are decorated with colorful lights. Occasionally, a breeze blows, and the hanging lanterns sway gently with the wind, making a pleasant ding-dong sound. These lanterns have different shapes, some look like blooming flowers, some look like dancing butterflies, and some look like dragons flying in the clouds, as if to bring people into a dream world.

"Lantern Festival..." Bibi Dong choked up, her whole body shaking uncontrollably. Beside her, Huo Yuhao talked about the origin of this festival as if he was presenting a treasure.

When Huo Yuhao returned to Tianhun from the Dragon Realm, he took the opportunity to go to Yelin City alone with Xian Lin'er on his back while on his way to control the flood.

What all his companions didn't know was that he had used up the one hundred million gold soul coins he brought from the Holy Spirit Church and sent people to renovate the ancient city in the style of ten thousand years ago.

In addition, Huo Yuhao also used his mental power to control the city's public security and set up a large number of protective measures outside the city of Yelin. Countless thorns and deep moats prevented the war in the Tianhun Realm from affecting this ancient city.

Although he described his actions in a light-hearted manner, Bibi Dong knew clearly that this was his feeling for her.

“Let’s go to the square.” Huo Yuhao rarely showed his youthful nature and pulled Bibi Dong towards the square quickly.

A grand lantern festival was taking place in the square. A huge lantern tower stood in the center, with lights interlaced and dazzling. Surrounding it were various performances, acrobatics, lion dances, and operas, each of which attracted many spectators to stop and watch. Children holding small lanterns shuttled among the crowd, and laughter filled the whole night.

The festive atmosphere infected everyone, young and old, and everyone was enjoying the moment. Couples held hands, and under the light, sweet smiles appeared on their faces. The girl remembered that when she was released, she naively imagined that the man would come here.

Then she came, but she was alone, out of tune with everything around her. At this time, countless lanterns rose slowly from the city, like stars dancing in the world, and like a dream bubble, flowing on the river of the night. The light of the lanterns intertwined, weaving a huge net, gently lifting the entire city, as if whispering to the moon.

Under the lanterns, the two held hands and whispered softly. Their shadows crossed on the stone road, swaying gently in the breeze, like two hearts tightly attached to each other under the moonlight. Bibi Dong unconsciously leaned her head on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, watching him pointing at the lanterns in the sky that looked like stars with youthful vigor.

Amid the lights, the citizens' laughter and joy fluttered in the wind. Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong's faces were also dyed with warm colors by the lights. Everyone's eyes were shining with expectations for the future and joy for the present.

Higher in the sky, some special lanterns slowly rotate. They are red or yellow, emitting soft light, like stars from the sky falling to the earth, making people unable to help but look up.

"Yuhao, Yuhao..." Bibi Dong suddenly burst into tears of joy and whispered the young man's name.

Looking at the sky full of lanterns, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sing for the girl -

"A sky scattered with quietly twinkling stars.

Unexpressible prayers fill the space between heaven and earth.

What is flickering in the lanterns is the future that has yet to bloom.

The light drops down reluctantly.

Look, the time has come for the fruits of hatred to bear

Once you grab it with your hands, the world will end.

Falling tears are a symbol of purity.

And those tears will disappear completely after feeling the warmth.

Only the beautiful dream is left to tear you apart.

Tenderness and truth in cold eyes.

The stars shining against each other are moving against the sky.

Until prayers of hatred fell from this sky.

I don't need a bouquet of sorrow for me.

Make your wish come true before your heart breaks.

Witness the moment when people's wishes are filled with brilliant light.

Everyone cries for the wings that they desire but cannot obtain.

Life plays a symphony that fills the sky.

The moment when wishes burn out in the sky.

There must be flowers blooming in the nostalgic hometown.

Until the end, the gentle moonlight teaches people the way forward.

The quietly twinkling stars are praying in the sky.

Your cry is the end of this dream."

This song, like the girl's old elegy, was a desperate memory that she could not bear to look back on. Now that Huo Yuhao sang it with his spiritual power, it gave the girl the courage to look directly at the past and move towards the future.

The sky is full of lanterns, like a galaxy hanging upside down in the sky, or like fireflies dancing in the night. The lights are bright or dim, interweaving into warm halos, sprinkled on the stone bricks of the ancient city, as if time has stopped at this moment.

The shadows of the two were stretched out long under the light. The young man gently raised his hand to brush away the black hair on the girl's forehead, his movements were extremely gentle.

I hope readers will like their candy. If anyone has heard this song, please leave a comment. The melody goes really well with the lanterns in the sky.
