Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Past Events in the Old Town

Li Wenli was graceful and understated; at first glance ordinary, but he was like an orchid, growing more captivating the longer one looked.

Some people are dazzling at first, but the more one looks, the less impressive they become.

However, her aesthetic represented only herself and could not influence the original owner’s taste.

As such, regarding the missed connection between these two, Bai Junjun could only express regret.

At that moment, Li Wenli was earnestly reading the letter and did not attend to Bai Junjun, who, while waiting for the outcome, inadvertently gazed at the skeleton she had accidentally broken earlier.

This person was holding the letter; could it be... the City Lord himself?

Thinking this, Bai Junjun squatted down in front of the skeleton to search it.

Thus, what Bai Sasa saw was Li Wenli sitting amidst the pile of skeletons reading, while her elder sister squatted in front of a skeleton rummaging through its possessions.

In the dim glow of the Luminous Pearl, both of them were shrouded in a suffocatingly dark aura.

Wuu wuu wuu...

Rooting through the belongings of the dead in the dead of night instead of sleeping, truly terrifying.

At that moment, Bai Sasa oddly missed the days of fleeing outside; compared to this eerie atmosphere, she longed to return to the normal life of flight.

As Bai Junjun earnestly sifted through the suspected City Lord’s skeletal remains, Li Wenli also finished reading the letter at a glance.

He sighed wistfully.

This letter could be said to be the past and present of Fubo City; it recorded how Fubo City was established, how it prospered, and how it eventually fell.

...

Legend has it that in ancient times, this place was home to both a Water Dragon and a Fire Dragon. Under the dragons’ protection, the land was fertile and rich in resources. Before long, a group of Dragon Guardians formed, vowing to protect this place generation after generation, keeping outsiders at bay.

The change began with a young outsider who arrived over a thousand years ago.

He was originally from the Shi clans, but due to familial ostracism, he left and wandered the world until he reached this place, where he met the Dragon Guardian family.

The young man discovered countless jewels and mines here; even the stones in the rivers were mostly jade stone and gold. Yet, in this land of plenty, the Dragon Guardians lived in squalor.

So squalid, in fact, that the thousand-member tribe had dwindled to fewer than a hundred, and now, these hundred were facing an epidemic, staring down the catastrophe of extinction.

Having traveled far and learned many remedies, the young man was moved to compassion and set out to save them; however, having arrived too late, he only managed to save a girl and her few younger brothers.

Naturally, the story that followed involved the young man and the girl falling in love and marrying.

To provide for his new family, the young man decided to sell the gems from the mines, but this was met with strong opposition from his wife.

She said that these were the belongings of the Fire Dragon and Water Dragon, and taking them would bring damnation.

However, the necessity of making a living overruled everything else.

And so, he took up the job of a porter and as time passed, the family’s wealth grew, and their life improved.

However, the Dragon Guardian family did not escape their doomed fate; the young man’s wife and brothers still passed away, leaving only him behind.

Then, he turned his sorrow into strength and gradually expanded the area into a large city, even recruiting many private soldiers.

After forty years of effort, Fubo City became the richest place in the Central Plains.

The young man himself rose to become the famously renowned Fubo City Lord.

However, as the mining continued, the Fubo City Lord also discovered dangers lurking beneath Fubo City.
