In recent years, with the deep cooperation between the Yaoqing Xianzhou and the Interstellar Peace Corporation, many places have integrated with the universe, giving rise to a batch of buildings that blend Xianzhou and Interstellar Peace Corporation styles, which many old Xianzhou residents are not accustomed to.
However, this has nothing to do with Chang'an Sky. The customs and architecture here still retain the original appearance of Yaoging.
Blue bricks and white tiles, large red lanterns hanging high, joy radiating from people's faces—it looked like a festival celebration.
"Is today a special day? I haven't been out for a day, and these lanterns are already hung."
Walking on the street, looking at the surrounding scenery, not having left the house for a day, and it had already changed into a different scene...
"You haven't been on the Xianzhou for many years, so naturally, you wouldn't know. Yaoging has always valued martial arts. Besides the regular Xianzhou festivals, every thirty years, a triumphant return ceremony is held here. Besides celebrating great victories and returning triumphantly, it also serves to showcase achievements in military power construction, boost military prestige, and raise morale. The last triumphant return ceremony was not held on a large scale because the Third Abundance Faction War had just ended. This time,

It's an important festival where various forces from the universe are invited to observe."
Feixiao explained to Wei as she walked.
"Inviting various forces from the universe? Doesn't that mean this ceremony will be a mixed bag? What if someone causes trouble?"
Wei was a little curious. For such a big event, if he were from the Abundance Faction, he would definitely seize the opportunity to cause trouble.
"Cause trouble? Then they won't return! The Xianzhou has been on the Hunt for thousands of years, with our... with our General Feixiao guarding it, we will ensure they won't return! If that's what they want, Yaoging will accept!"
Feixiao snorted coldly and said indifferently.
"Hmm, spirited. But my dear wife, these are matters for important people to consider. We'll just enjoy the talk. After all, our small bodies can't handle such turmoil, can they?"
Looking at Feixiao's bold words beside him, Wei chuckled. This woman, she spoke as if she were a general, but she was just a small clerk in a Sky-Faring Commission trade group. Who was she trying to impress with such fervor?
"Of course, we'll just cheer them on from the sidelines. The battlefield ahead is dangerous, and we definitely can't step foot there. Especially you, with no self-preservation ability at all. Even the residual shockwaves of those people's battles would be unbearable for you."
Feixiao nodded, cautioning Wei.
"I'm just an ordinary doctor, and I don't have the powerful strength of other Pathstrider of Abundances. Let's go to Wanmin Restaurant. I just contacted Master Mao, and he still has a table available."
The shops in Chang'an Sky are truly ancient establishments with thousands of years of heritage, and Master Mao's cooking skills at the Wanmin Restaurant are exceptional.
Although at first, when Wei learned that Master Mao in this world had a daughter named Xiangling, he found it incredibly bizarre.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and go. There are many people here, don't expose your identity."
Not far from Wei and Feixiao, a Fox-person-like man urged his companion.
"I'm looking at that man. I don't know why, but when I see him, it's like I'm seeing my great-grandmother..."
The Fox-person named Hu Yanfeng looked in Wei's direction and almost wet himself.
"?...How is that possible? Didn't your great-grandmother die in the war a year ago?"
"I don't know either. If you don't believe me, feel carefully. How is it? Did you feel it?"
"Hurry... hurry up and go..."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go. I'm starting to lose control of my bladder. Why does seeing one person feel like seeing the Seven Wolf Kings... Dammit..."
"We're wearing these beast skins, we can't expose ourselves, or the big plan will be ruined!"
—
"Oh, Dr. Markus, are you out to eat with your wife? What a rare guest, a rare guest!"
As soon as they entered, Xiangling at the front desk saw Wei and Feixiao beside him, and immediately said with a beaming smile.
Master Mao had a daughter late in life, having a girl when he was several hundred years old, and he cherished her greatly. A few years ago, Xiangling suffered a severe illness, and it was Wei who cured her.
The neighbors in Chang'an Sky were all very familiar with each other.
"I didn't have time to go grocery shopping today, plus I haven't tasted Master Mao's cooking in a long time, so I'm taking a break."
Wei shrugged and followed Xiangling into the restaurant.
Wanmin Restaurant sounded like a small shop, but it actually had a considerable amount of space. Besides the main hall, there were also several private rooms.
Xiangling knew that Wei preferred quiet, so she led the two directly to a private room.
"What happened to your hand?"
Seeing the bandage wrapped around Xiangling's hand, Wei was curious.
"Hehe, nothing much, just got bitten by an ingredient."
"?" Hearing Xiangling's explanation, a question mark appeared above Wei's head.
What kind of ingredient could bite someone so badly that their arm needed to be bandaged?
"Oh, right, later I'll have Dad cook the ingredient I caught. I was just wondering how to eat it, and then you arrived! It's perfect for you to try."
"Alright, then I'm looking forward to it. Wait, take this and apply it to the wound."
Wei nodded, then tossed a small medicine bottle to her.
"Thank you!"
Taking the small medicine bottle, Xiangling flashed a bright smile and walked out.
"She's always like this, getting bitten by ingredients every day. I wonder what she caught this time."
Watching Xiangling leave in a hurry, Feixiao smiled and shook her head.
"Who knows? To be honest, last time she caught that crocodile dragon from the Scalegorge Waterscape and stewed it, it completely blew my mind."
The ancient sea of the Scalegorge Waterscape belonged to the Vidyadhara, and the crocodile dragon clan, having been tainted by the Chi Ming aura, already showed signs of draconic transformation, possessing immense power. Who would have thought that simply because a rumor spread from somewhere that crocodile dragon tasted delicious, the very next day Xiangling would set off to the Scalegorge Waterscape and bring back a ten-meter-long crocodile dragon?
During that time, Wanmin Restaurant's business boomed, all due to people curious to try the taste of crocodile dragon.
Oh, last time Xiangling was also bitten by that crocodile dragon. So now, Feixiao and Wei were very curious about what kind of ingredient could bite Xiangling, who had red pupils and a monthly fee group of 694936135.
After a while, a bear paw the size of a washbasin appeared on their table.
Wei: ?
Feixiao: ?
"I knew it. Any ingredient that can bite Xiangling is definitely not normal."
This ancient bear paw wasn't particularly rare, but the main problem was its difficult nature. Although its body was
Not large, one blow from its paw was enough to split mountains and rocks. An ordinary person hit by one slap would probably be completely shattered. Only Xianzhou people, who look like ordinary people but are actually like immortals on a regular planet, could play around like this.
"Cheers."
The crisp sound of crystal glasses echoed in the room. Of course, Feixiao was drinking juice. This girl was bad at drinking but loved it. Ever since she had given Wei a hard time for a whole night after drinking last time, Wei had never let her touch alcohol again. Heaven knew where this ordinary Sky-Faring Commission clerk got such great strength; that night, even with Wei's Abundance Emissary physique, his waist was almost broken.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two did not plan to go straight home.
Although the celebration had not officially begun, the festive atmosphere of the prelude was already spreading throughout the Xianzhou.
Yaoging valued martial arts, but this trend did not affect Chang'an Sky. The people here still maintained a slow-paced life. After dinner, one could see card tables set up by the roadside, with several people gathered together playing Imperial Jade.
However, at this moment, some commotion occurred in the distance.
