Fairy, dreams shouldn't be taken seriously.

As she spoke, she draped a cloak over the regent, who now appeared slightly hunched, to keep him warm.

Fan Jian merely glanced at her before ignoring her.

A hint of disappointment flashed in the woman's eyes as she turned and left.

After she had gone far away, the hunched man, who commanded the obedience of all civil and military officials, slowly turned around and watched her leave.

But it didn't linger for long, only for a moment.

His gaze returned to the darkness outside the window. After a long silence, he suddenly asked:

"Hasn't it come out yet?"

"No."

In the empty room, a voice responded from somewhere.

But there wasn't a single person in sight.

"I hope nothing goes wrong..."

His slightly hunched figure looked even more haggard in the dim light.

"Don't worry about that. Even if everyone else dies, he can't die."

In the empty room, someone answered again.

After coughing twice, the regent finally walked slowly toward his room.

He may not have slept soundly, but he really needed to rest for a while.

Perhaps, I'll wake up to some good news.

Chapter 74 [The Method to Leave the City of Daughters] (Bonus Chapter)

In a dream.

After falling into the witch's trap, Fan Zui dared not be careless anymore. He put the witch aside and began to cultivate.

"System, activate the weapon fusion function to fuse the Extreme Cold Spear and the Extreme Fire Spear."

[Ding, weapon fusion begins...]

(Note: Weapon fusion has a certain probability of yielding a higher-level weapon, but fusion may fail and result in scrap metal.)

[Congratulations, host! The fusion was successful, and you have obtained the Ice Flame Spear.]

He felt that, apart from the calamity incident years ago, his face had always been quite pale.

The integration proved to be very successful.

The Ice and Flame Spear possesses two elemental powers. When it leaves a wound on an enemy, the combined power of ice and fire can penetrate the body, making the wound difficult to heal.

This is probably what they call two worlds apart.

The Ice Flame Spear has been upgraded to a high-grade Spirit Treasure, doubling its power.

Seeing that the weapon he took out this time seemed different from the ones he had used before, Li Hanqiu was slightly surprised.

He wondered, could he possibly know the art of weapon crafting?

She had seen both the extreme cold spear and the extreme heat spear.

But the one in my hand now is clearly a fusion of the two.

Its level has also increased significantly, and its power and attributes are now incomparable.

Throughout the entire cultivation continent, alchemists and weapon refiners have always been highly sought-after.

The Alchemist Guild and the Weapon Refiner Guild are the only forces recognized by both empires across the entire continent.

It seems she could try searching within the Refiners' Guild to see if she could find any clues about the boy.

Little did Li Hanqiu know that her search for direction had gone awry from the very beginning.

This also foreshadowed future blunders.

Seeing that he had mastered the Dragon Playing in the Sea and Piercing the Void techniques to perfection, Li Hanqiu wondered whether he should teach him another martial art.

However, she vaguely noticed that he seemed less composed than usual during this training session.

Naturally, they were unable to enter the ethereal realm.

Is he still thinking about the City of Daughters?

Thinking of this, the witch Li Hanqiu frowned slightly.

No, we have to get rid of this idea of ​​his.

I'll go anywhere, except my daughter's.

"We've known each other for so long, and I still don't know your name."

She gave him a seductive look and said.

Fan Zui holstered his gun, stood up, let out a heavy sigh, and said:

"I've already told you before, my name is Xiao Shiyilang, but you just didn't believe me."

Li Hanqiu raised her eyebrows slightly. She naturally didn't believe it, but she would just call him Xiao Shiyilang for now.

"You seem to have something on your mind lately? Tell me about it, maybe I can give you some advice."

She offered words of advice, hoping to glean some useful information.

Upon hearing this, Fan Zui glanced at her.

That witch is very wicked.

He said speechlessly, "You're already being kind by not causing me any trouble."

Li Hanqiu rolled his eyes at these words.

"Then let's not talk about your worries, let's talk about the City of Daughters, how about that?"

He seemed interested in the topic, so he put away his Ice Flame Spear and walked over.

With a wave of his hand, a lot of snacks appeared in his hand.

There are spicy strips, chocolates, ice cream, and many other things to choose from.

The two sat down beside the dragon throne and began their dream-like conversation.

Do you know how the city of daughters came to be?

He popped a chocolate into his mouth and then asked.

Li Hanqiu didn't rush to answer his question, but instead looked curiously at the candies in front of her.

She had never seen any of them.

I tried peeling open a chocolate and putting it in my mouth, and my eyes lit up.

I tried a few other kinds and it was like discovering a new world. They were so delicious that I couldn't stop eating them.

"This is a dream, and all these things were created out of thin air. Even if you can taste them, when you return to reality, you will have nothing."

At her happiest moment, Fan Zui couldn't help but say something hurtful.

This sentence dealt a critical hit of 99999 damage, and even the witch stopped eating her ice cream.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."

She looked at the food in her hand, unsure whether to eat it or not.

He paused for a moment, then suddenly cast a hopeful glance his way and asked:

"You know how to make these things, right?"

"Yes, but why should I cook for you?"

Another critical hit deals 99999 damage.

The witch would give a resentful look.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"I want you... everything you know about the City of Daughters."

As soon as he finished speaking, the witch, without the slightest hesitation, told him everything she knew.

No one knows when the City of Daughters first appeared.

However, initially, men were free to come and go.

However, about ten thousand years ago, something happened inside the City of Daughters. Since then, no man who has entered it has ever come out alive.

She had entered the City of Daughters before, but she had encountered too many strange places.

There's a guesthouse called Yuelai Inn inside, and the common currency is tears.

In a moment of quick thinking, she slapped a child on the roadside, making him cry, and thus obtained his tears.

When she left the city of girls, she tried to take one or two beads with her to study.

However, once outside the city of daughters, those teardrops turned into tears and dried up instantly.
