They spent nearly an hour in the shop, and all three bought clothes they liked.
Afterward, they went to find Mo Tianshui and the others. They ate at the restaurant and booked a few rooms there to stay for the night.
Mo Tianshui had mentioned that strange things appeared in the Magic Ancient City at night, which would only happen after nightfall.
Time passed quickly as they fooled around together.
Of course, it was Xia Feng who was fooling around with Zi Ruolin, Mu Yunchen, and Gu Xinyi.
Since Zi Ruolin joined, everyone had become more lively. Zi Ruolin's forwardness had also helped Xia Feng relax, allowing him to joke with everyone and fostering a very harmonious atmosphere.
Xia Feng actually liked this feeling. After all, getting along well with everyone was the happiest thing.
Night approached quickly. Due to the recent anomalies in the Magic Ancient City, a bell rang as soon as it got dark, reminding everyone to go home and sleep and not to come out unless necessary.
Because of the recent anomalies, the Magic Ancient City had begun to enforce a curfew.
Ordinary people were advised to sleep early. For cultivators or major sects, this had no effect. They could still meet friends at night, drink until dawn, and play cards in between.
No matter the world, money was truly king. It allowed you to have everything you desired.
Without money, you were nothing. Even dogs might scorn you, shaking their heads in disdain.
Money was truly wonderful.
No wonder so many people could abandon their dignity and face, doing anything to possess it.
This might be a sign of human progress. Desire fueled infinite motivation.
Without desire, a person would truly live like a walking corpse.
As night descended, Mo Tianshui approached Xia Feng and said, "Young Master, night has fallen, and the anomaly is about to appear."
Mo Tianshui seemed to understand everything, yet also nothing.
"Mm, you all stay at the inn. I'm going out to take a look."
After speaking, Xia Feng prepared to go out and see what this anomaly was.
Would the Magic Ancient City encounter the final special physique: The wise fool?
"Yes, Young Master." Everyone quickly responded.
Xia Feng nodded slightly, and his figure vanished from the inn. In the next moment, he appeared above the Magic Ancient City, overlooking everything within it.
The Magic Ancient City looked peaceful. Due to the curfew, there wasn't a single person on the streets, except for the guards on the city walls and those maintaining order within the city. No other figures would appear.
Xia Feng waited in the sky for the anomaly to arrive.
After a few more moments, in the western district of the Magic Ancient City, bursts of white mist suddenly rose, as if devouring something.
Xia Feng watched all this from the sky and then flashed towards the western district, arriving near the area in moments.
As this white mist appeared, the patrolling soldiers all fled far away, seemingly fearful of it.
It seemed they weren't encountering it for the first time.
"Master, I know what that is."
As Xia Feng was curious, the little piglet spoke.
Upon hearing this, Xia Feng immediately released the little piglet and asked, "Do you really know, or are you pretending?"
"I really know. I'm very familiar with its aura," the little piglet nodded seriously.
"Then what is it?" Xia Feng asked with a confused expression.
"It is a White Demon Spirit from the Sacred Realm," the little piglet stated the identity of the white mist.
"What is this thing?"
Xia Feng frowned upon hearing this.
The White Demon Spirit was completely unfamiliar to Xia Feng. Why would the Divine Realm have something from the Sacred Realm?
"I don't know, but I know it's very useful, Master. You must acquire it," the little piglet shook its head.
"Did you forget, or do you not want to say, or can't you say?" Xia Feng narrowed his eyes, speaking in halves.
Xia Feng was already accustomed to the little piglet. It was just how it was; getting angry at it was useless, so it was better to indulge it.
Whether it spoke or not, it wouldn't harm him; it would only consider his well-being.
Before, he had been too eager to know everything, so he had often targeted the little piglet. Since Xia Feng had come to his senses, he no longer pressed the little piglet.
"Master, I truly forgot. Perhaps the time hasn't come yet, and I haven't recovered my proper memories," the little piglet shook its head, indicating it had genuinely forgotten.
"Alright." Xia Feng said no more and prepared to follow the little piglet's advice to capture the White Demon Spirit below.
"Also, is this thing just a mass of mist, or does it have an actual body?"
Xia Feng looked at the mass of mist below, somewhat confused.
"Master, your realm is not high enough to find its true form. It comes from the Sacred Realm, and you cannot grasp its aura," the little piglet spoke with certainty.
"Then you want me to capture it? How can I capture it if I can't find its true form?" Xia Feng frowned and asked.
The little piglet chuckled, "Master, isn't there me? I can find its true form. Now you know how useful I am, right?"
The little piglet then showed a smug expression.
Xia Feng had seen in a jade slip that his past self had told his current self to treat the little piglet well, stating that this good-for-nothing would be of great use later.
Now, for the first time, he felt it was somewhat useful.
At least it wasn't truly a good-for-nothing.
