Chapter 986: Chapter 302: Two Choices for You! This Is the State Capital!

If you want to resolve things nicely, we’ll resolve them nicely.

If you want mutual destruction, I’m just wasting a feather.

It’s all up to the choice of this thing.

Junior Sister Xuexiang understood; she fully grasped what her Sect Leader Senior Brother meant. The man in front of her looked as steady as a rock.

Yuchi then finally grinned as he led Junior Sister Xuexiang to the table, placing a hand on her shoulder and pressing her to the floor, while he sat across: "So this is how things are. Don’t worry, we’ll soon see its choice. Meanwhile, I have to make a trip to the State Capital—first, to coax your Senior Sister Miaoyu’s sister into joining our sect, and second, to find the people from Medicine Master Valley."

"This won’t take long."

Before Junior Sister Xuexiang could speak, Yuchi asked, "So, Xuexiang, do you believe me? Believing Brother Yuchi is your path to immortality, you know."

"..."

Feeling a mix of frustration and amusement, with warmth in her heart, Junior Sister Xuexiang’s eyes became firm: "I believe!"

"Well then, have some tea. I’ll be on my way first."

Just as Yuchi was about to leave, he suddenly recalled something important. As Junior Sister Xuexiang was still feeling a bit panicked, he looked at the teapot and said, "Little ancestors, drink sparingly. These are tea leaves I got from Cuncha City. Brew them multiple times and don’t waste them, okay!"

"Save some for me."

"Don’t drink it all."

Junior Sister Xuexiang: "..."

Smiling, she wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes: "Don’t worry, Sect Leader Senior Brother, of course! In the future, I’ll surely find more of such good tea leaves for you!!"

...

Yuchi was back on his way to the State Capital. This round trip truly drained a lot of dao points, and though it was painful, apparently this was the best time to reveal the truth. During his journey, he awaited news from Yinghan to see if this guy really wanted to fight him.

"Hmm, this feather is a nice item. In the future, once I find that idiot goose in the Lower Three States, I wonder if I can just pull out all its feathers, then I’ll have lots of wishing opportunities."

Idiot Goose: Am I a joke to you?!

In just the following three days, Yuchi received news from Yinghan that the weather at Ascension Gate had cleared up and it was now bright and sunny. Moreover, after observing for two nights, she noted Junior Sister Xuexiang no longer sleepwalked.

She planned to monitor it for a few more days to ensure the situation was stable!

With this, Yuchi had no intention of returning to Ascension Gate. Feeling grateful that his dao points wouldn’t be drained by the Mountain Protection Array anymore, tears of relief almost fell.

It’s really not easy.

But from the current situation, three things could be discerned.

First, this thing can indeed hear what’s being said around it.

Second, this thing has the capacity for thought.

Third, this thing has a sense of humanity.

The first is hearing, the second is thinking, and the third is logic. It can hear its surroundings, make corresponding considerations, and follow accurate logic like a human. So this female shadow should be a special kind of normal person? But given the current situation, there’s no conclusion to be made.

"But no need to rush right now. Just head peacefully to the State Capital and take it step by step."

"Haste makes waste."

"Also, rushing things often leads to failure."

Two months later, by mid-October in the ninth hundred and ninety-ninth year, after taking wrong turns more times than he could count, Yuchi finally arrived at the State Capital, having once narrowly missed it, zigzagging his way to this place.

The State Capital, as the name suggests, is the core city of the Third State, and not just the Third State’s but all state capitals have the same definition. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

As for what qualifies it to be called the State Capital, Yuchi didn’t know. Upon reaching it, he simply felt the place was prosperous and grand, nothing more.

After all, grandeur has its limits, and vision has its ends. Not to mention the State Capital, even a first-class city is a horizonless existence.

It’s like the sea meeting the sky, stretching to a certain extent.

Maybe similar to comparing a small amount of silver with a vast amount; it’s the gap between ten thousand taels and a million taels—known to be large but incomprehensible.

Walking through the State Capital, if someone hadn’t told honest Yuchi it was the State Capital, the prosperity would’ve felt similar to Canglan City, Tiesi City, etc. They all had buildings of varying heights, but the scale was merely larger here. Are there places in the State Capital more remarkable than other cities? Perhaps, but they must be hidden, not apparent.

"When Xufu Town can overtake the State Capital, then will it prosper."

"Hmm."

"I’m daydreaming."

Currently, Xufu Town might have nearly a million people, but compared to the State Capital, even a small district here far surpasses Xufu Town. This is a conglomerate of many large cities, and God knows how many residents live within the State Capital.
