Chapter 24

In the residence of the City Lord of Qi Shilong, on the square paved with greenish-blue stone slabs.

Ye Wuque, Lin Yingluo, and Sima Ao stood quietly, their gazes converging, a kind of默契 (mutual understanding) flashing in their eyes, as if a single glance from one could convey their thoughts to the others. This feeling was magical and hard-won.

Sima Ao still maintained his aloof demeanor, but Ye Wuque understood that this was just who Sima Ao was. His gaze swept over the two, and Ye Wuque nodded inwardly. After two days of rest, both Lin Yingluo and Sima Ao had reached their optimal states, their strength firmly established at the initial stage of the Xi Fan Jing Po (Refined Essence Soul) realm, with no trace of instability.

Lin Yingluo's cold eyes were much softer than a month ago, though still clear and cold. When her gaze swept over Ye Wuque and Sima Ao, it carried a touch of concern and care. Especially for Ye Wuque, Lin Yingluo felt that after two days, he seemed to have undergone some change, a change that left her feeling a bit uncertain.

"Hum"

The void trembled, and Qi Shilong descended from the sky. His gaze swept over the three, and he nodded slightly. "It seems you all have rested well these past two days. Very good. Since that's the case, we need not delay any longer. By the way, I said I would give each of you a small gift. Catch them..."

As Qi Shilong spoke, he waved his hand, and three streaks of light flew toward the three of them.

Ye Wuque casually caught the streak of light in his hand and, upon closer inspection, found a simple, black ring lying quietly in his palm.

"This is..."

Before Ye Wuque could identify the object in his hand, Sima Ao's voice, tinged with excitement, suddenly rang in his ear.

"A storage ring! This is a storage ring!"

Sima Ao's words stirred Ye Wuque's heart, and he felt a surge of joy.

"Yes, that's right. The gifts I've given you are three storage rings. With these storage rings, the three of you will find it more convenient during the Hundred Cities Battle.
