"This is your first time going to Wang City, don't embarrass this lady!"

Up in the air, Shi Lin looked ahead, her voice somewhat cold.

"Got it."

Chen Xuan replied blandly, his gaze examining the ground below.

"The Stone Cave really is quite desolate!"

Barren mountain ranges!

Not a trace of life.

Shi Lin, on the other hand, cast a sidelong glance at him and felt something subtly amiss.

His attitude was too calm, very different from before.

Previously that kind of eager-to-please demeanor was the normal reaction for someone of a lower status facing her.

"Could it be because he's going to enter the Holy Land?"

"Or perhaps because he's accomplished a great feat this time?"

Shi Lin wondered in her heart.

Still, she was somewhat satisfied with the way 'Jiang Tian' was now. After all, publicly, he was her man, and he'd be meeting the Royal Family. If he kept bowing and scraping, it would really disgrace her.

For her, it was rather refreshing...

Generally, those men fawned excessively upon seeing her, even those from the Royal Family, let alone the lower Stone Race.

After all, her status within the Stone Race was top-tier.

Chen Xuan was shocked within.

In his mind, prior scenes of Jiang Tian's behavior towards her flashed.

"Hopefully she hasn't noticed anything?"

But upon seeing Shi Lin's lips slightly upturned, he let go of his concern.

Moreover, he had a fairly good guess.

"That damn woman... quite shameless!"

However, this was considered normal; being surrounded by people who treated her with utmost respect all day long, suddenly there's someone different—such a fresh feeling she'd never experienced. This reaction was indeed quite normal.

"In vain..."

Chen Xuan felt a bit regretful; she's a Stone Race, no distinction between genders physically. If things were normal, a bit of training might even deliver surprise results.

High-cold young lady becomes my dog!

This imagery... just imagining it is somewhat thrilling.

After approximately one hour.

The shadow of Wang City appeared in Chen Xuan's line of sight.

The towering city walls—earth yellow!

Almost identical to the Human Race's city, square-shaped, even the gates were similar.

"Inside Wang City, except for a few ordinary high-level individuals, there's the higher surnames and Royal Family. Although none you can afford to offend, you don't need to fear them either. You belong to this lady, keep up with the same demeanor you just had."

As they were about to reach Wang City, Shi Lin once again advised him.

However, her tone was not quite as cold as before.

"Understood."

Chen Xuan said plainly.

Since she likes this, even better, as his back was too straight to bend down.

A moment later, the two descended from the sky.

"The Stone Race sure is luxurious!"

Chen Xuan glanced at the Stone Race guarding the city gate, leading was a Dao Realm Third Stage, the rest uniformly Late-Stage Profound Realm.

"Greetings, Young Lady Shi Lin!"

The Dao Realm Third Stage male bowed ninety degrees to her.

"This Stone Race's racial hierarchy is really abnormal!"

Watching the scene, Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh; after all, he's a Dao Realm Third Stage expert, yet had no dignity of a master.

"Hm!"

Shi Lin merely replied with a single word and walked in with a cold face.

Chen Xuan closely followed behind her.

"Shall I switch my identity?"

Chen Xuan muttered inwardly.

Jiang Tian's identity was too low, getting a Royal Family identity would be far more convenient.

Only after the two entered Wang City did the Dao Realm Third Stage expert straighten up, without a hint of displeasure, not even asking about Chen Xuan's identity.

"This is Wang City?"

Chen Xuan saw the wide street, flanked by shops and restaurants.

Had he not known it was the Stone Race, he'd have thought it was a city of the Human Race.

Not exactly identical, but there was hardly any difference.

Shi Lin assumed he was astonished, thus began to explain to him, "No need to be so shocked, it's your first time in Wang City; you'll get used to it soon."

"Then why are there restaurants?"

The Stone Race differs from the Human Race, surviving by absorbing the essence within stones.

Yet he smelled the aroma of dishes.

Even... the craftsmanship seemed decent!

"Eat, is there a problem?"

Shi Lin seemed naturally logical, "Oh, you've never eaten them; these are delicacies of the Human Race. Perform well, and I'll take you to try them in the future!"

Truly.... Chen Xuan really felt like he'd been struck by lightning.

The Stone Race isn't merely about strict hierarchical issues; it's as if they don't even consider those with ordinary surnames as part of their race.

Even someone like Jiang Tian in the Dao Realm entirely had no idea about these.

This is too terrifying!

Now he could understand why he didn't know about the existence of the Mother Liquid.

Even the Royal Family and higher surnames didn't know about these Human Race cuisines, yet Shi Lin was evidently accustomed to it, even mentioning it with a sense of superiority.

"This Stone Race... is somewhat distorted!"

Though the Human Race has distinctions in Martial Dao, in other aspects... especially essentials of daily life, are mostly similar.

Unless one never left their village in a lifetime, but they should at least have heard elder's stories.

But within the Stone Race, unless someone like him made it into Wang City, they'd remain oblivious to these forever, especially Jiang Tian, even such a Dao Realm expert.

The two walked through the broad street, Chen Xuan also realized the architectural style here was almost identical to the Human Race.

"Why do these houses look like this?"

Chen Xuan asked deliberately.

"Looks nice!"

"Oh, you don't know either!"

Shi Lin remembered, "Never mind, you'll know all of this eventually, I'll tell you beforehand."
