Xia Yurou noticed Wang Ye’s dark expression and brewed him a cup of tea.

She then opened the window, allowing the Spiritual Energy from the Blackwater Secret Realm to flow into the room.

A gust of wind carrying the scent of cherry blossoms rushed in.

The fragrance was so strong that just one sniff made one feel refreshed.

Outside the window was a scene of bustling prosperity.

The buildings were stacked one upon another, the lights blushing the sky red, streets busy with crowds and illuminated lanterns.

Blackwater City was filled with the aura of life.

At this moment, the roars of dragons and tigers echoed.

Panic arose on the streets, pedestrians racing towards the sides.

"The rich kid is here, everyone get out of the way quickly."

"He’s Wang Ming, his father is a super landed tycoon, mainly in the real estate business, with assets exceeding trillions."

"If it weren’t for his father, he wouldn’t be so arrogant."

"Indeed, having money means doing as you please, how much do you think a war mount like that costs to buy?"

"Everyone knows Wang Ming has a thousand Azure Dragon War Mounts."

Amidst the crowd’s gossip.

A group of Azure Dragon War Mounts appeared in everyone’s sight.

A middle-aged man sat arrogantly on a war mount, with a fat face and round belly, crossing his legs as he looked, very brash in demeanor.

Beside him were many people bowing and scraping.

Anyone knew, once favored by Wang Ming, becoming his close aide meant enjoying endless wealth and honor in the future.

On the Azure Dragon War Mounts sat many alluring women.

These women, naturally, were Wang Ming’s latest flames.

For someone like him, wealthy and powerful, finding new flames was not difficult.

Ever since Qin Tianba became the Alliance Hierarch of the Blackwater Alliance, the whole Blackwater Secret Realm had embraced the worship of Spirit Jade.

As long as you had Spirit Jade in your pocket, you were treated like a lord.

Anyone who saw you had to call you father.

The originally crowded crowd quickly opened up a wide path.

But on this empty avenue appeared a little girl.

The little girl wore rough blue cloth trousers, with two small braids.

Her face was like a peach, her eyes crystal clear, like a blue dome.

Seeing the Azure Dragon War Mount rushing, panic flashed in her eyes, and due to fear, her body froze on the spot.

"Damn little girl, get out of the way now."

"Wretched girl, you’re blocking our young master’s path."

"Run the Azure Dragon War Mount over her, crush this girl to death."

Wang Ming coldly commanded.

These days, he was pursuing a singer at the music tower.

But this tower singer was indifferent to him.

He visited daily to see her sing and dance, rewarding her with lots of Spirit Jade.

Counting it up, he had given no less than fifty million Spirit Jade, if not thirty million.

Throwing Spirit Jade aside, Wang Ming even bowed and scraped for her.

He brought her breakfast every day.

Even carried shoes for her.

Yet her politeness was merely surface-level, feigned smiles to please him.

In her heart, she didn’t think much of him.

The dancing woman was Shen Biyue, and she hailed from Rainbow Town.

After meeting Wang Ye, she had a great adventure.

On that day, a singing and dancing troupe passed through Rainbow Town.

The troupe leader was the famous singer, Lady Shisan.

Lady Shisan saw that Shen Biyue had a great figure for dancing and a good voice for singing.

Seeing such talent, she naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity and took her as a disciple.

In the troupe, Shen Biyue was very diligent.

After a brief period of effort, her singing skills reached the stage of perfection.

She kept rising step by step, eventually arriving at the most renowned Wanhua Tower in the Blackwater Secret Realm.

During this time, she was also searching for Wang Ye, hearing he would participate in the Blackwater Secret Realm Alliance selection, which made her very happy.

"I hope my dance and song will attract Wang Ye’s attention; I don’t care about anyone else."

Often under the night sky, she would, facing the moonlight, recall her original intent.

"Yes!"

Wang Ming’s many lackeys heard Wang Ye’s command.

A cruel smile appeared at the corners of their mouths.

They eagerly anticipated seeing the scene where the Azure Dragon War Mount crushed the little girl’s body.

Without hesitating, they chased with the Azure Dragon War Mounts.

"Ah~"

The little girl let out a scream and closed her eyes.

Just as the Azure Dragon War Mount was about to crush the little girl’s body, a white shadow flashed.

Like a wisp of white cloud sweeping the little girl on the street.

Landing steadily at the roadside.

The man in white wore a bamboo hat, his face handsome.

Sadly, his eyes were almost blind.

He could only discern the surroundings using his ears.

"Haha, it’s Blind Zhou."

Wang Ming sneered.

He galloped away with his mount.

He had no time to waste on a blind man.

Blind Zhou was quite the celebrity in the Blackwater Secret Realm.

He was kind-hearted, known by everyone in the Blackwater Secret Realm.

Because he was eager to help others.

If anyone needed help, he would lend a hand.

Due to his blindness, many big matters were beyond his reach.

Normally, he just grew some Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Grass at home to make a living.

The rest of the time, he usually wandered within the Blackwater Secret Realm.

He was aware of almost everything in the Blackwater Secret Realm.

Even the ten mysterious figures in the Blackwater Secret Realm, he knew them.

Although he had a kind heart, his talent wasn’t enough, his abilities limited, hence he couldn’t become the Alliance Hierarch of the Blackwater Secret Realm.

To him, gaining the support of ten mysterious figures was but a trivial matter.

Of course, he was fully aware of his shortcomings.

He had no ambition of becoming the Alliance Hierarch, and these days, he was searching for someone truly qualified to lead the Blackwater Secret Realm into prosperity.

Still, he hadn’t found anyone yet.

"Little girl, aren’t you from the Linghu Family? Why are you here alone today?"

Zhou Wushuang crouched down, very concerned as he asked.

The little girl covered her eyes with one hand, sniffling.

"I got separated from my father at the market."

"Ah, I see, let me take you home."

Blind Zhou held the little girl’s hand, heading deeper into the crowd.

In no time, he brought the little girl to the Linghu Family.

At this time, the Linghu Family was very anxious, preparing to take people to find their beloved daughter’s whereabouts.

They saw Blind Zhou safely bring back the little girl.

"Father!"

Returning to her mansion.

The little girl smiled and rushed towards the residence.

Linghu Chang, hearing his daughter’s voice, also ran out.

Seeing his daughter had returned, his worry instantly dissipated.

A joyful expression appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Sweetheart, where have you gone? You scared your father to death."

"Got separated on the road, it’s the uncle who brought me back."

The little girl turned her head to look.

Zhou Wushuang had already disappeared into the crowd.

He walked with hands behind his back, a smile on his lips, limping yet appearing with a unique air of tranquility.
