"You two are too kind. As fellow humans, helping each other out is nothing at all."
"Besides, now that you two have come to my territory, it is only right that I, as the host, should treat you well. How could I trouble you two guests to do things for me, the host? Wouldn't that make me, Xuanyuan, seem narrow-minded as the host?"
Xuanyuan deliberately showed displeasure to Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji as he spoke.
"Please don't take offense, City Lord. That's not what we meant. My grandmaster and I just felt bad for troubling you so much. We had no intention of belittling you in any way."
"Haha! That's more like it. Come quickly and follow me into the manor. I'll take you to your quarters first, and then I'll send two quick-witted men to serve you. After you've become familiar with the place, we can have a more detailed discussion."
Upon hearing Zhang Wuji's words, Xuanyuan smiled and led Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji to the accommodations he had prepared for them.
After entering the city lord's mansion, Xuanyuan quickly led Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji to a guest room.
"Sir, this is your residence. From now on, please have your servants do whatever you need."
"You can look around the room here first. I'll take this young man to familiarize himself with his accommodations. He lives in the room next to yours."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, City Lord."
Zhang Sanfeng cupped his hands in greeting to Xuanyuan.
"It's alright, no trouble at all, just a few small things, nothing to worry about. Let's go, young man."
After waving to Zhang Sanfeng, Xuanyuan took Zhang Wuji to his room.
In front of the room next to Zhang Sanfeng's guest room, Xuanyuan pushed open the door and led Zhang Wuji inside.
After seeing that Zhang Wuji was already familiar with the room, Xuanyuan mysteriously pulled Zhang Wuji aside.
"Young man, I'll arrange for a few orc women to come to you later. Do you want a fox woman, a cat woman, or one of those swans who look so pure and holy?"
"I'll chat with the old gentleman for a bit, I'll keep him occupied, and then I'll have someone bring it to you, or you can have it all."
Hearing Xuanyuan's words, even Zhang Wuji, with his composure, couldn't help but blush. He quickly waved his hand and said to Xuanyuan, "No need, no need. Thank you for your kindness, City Lord. Please don't send anyone else to deliver it to me."
"Young man, if you don't like this kind of thing, I'll send you two maids from my manor later. They're definitely clean and pure human girls."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not let the old man know. We're all men, what's there to be afraid of? It's just a little fun!"
Xuanyuan continued to persuade Zhang Wuji.
“Your Majesty, I am not aware that I already have a wife, and my wife and I love each other very much. We also have a child.”
"I already felt terrible for leaving home this time, and I absolutely cannot let her down again."
"Good! That's a real man!"
“Brother Wuji is a true man, a fine son of our human race, so I will not force Brother Wuji.”
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan stopped trying to persuade Zhang Wuji and his goodwill towards him increased.
"Brother Wuji, please familiarize yourself with the place here for a while. The servants will be here soon, so I'll be leaving now."
"I will arrange a banquet for you in a little while, and a servant will come to inform you when it's time."
"Then thank you very much, City Lord."
Xuanyuan waved to Zhang Wuji and then left.
Inside a room in the city lord's mansion, Xuanyuan sat in the main seat, lost in thought. On the table in front of him was a small piece of cloth.
This small piece of fabric looks very similar to the fabric on Zhang Wuji's clothes.
This piece of fabric was the one that Xuanyuan had secretly removed from Zhang Wuji's clothes when he pulled Zhang aside to talk. Thanks to his immense strength, Zhang Wuji didn't notice his actions.
"Knock knock!"
As Xuanyuan was deep in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door in front of him.
"Come in."
"Sir, you wanted to see me?"
Entering the room where Xuanyuan was from the outside was a young man who looked rather heroic and extraordinary.
"Da Hong, take this piece of cloth and go check if anyone in Bloodbath City has ever worn clothes made of this kind of cloth. If not, ask around and see if anyone has ever seen this kind of cloth before."
Xuanyuan gave instructions to his capable subordinate Da Hong, and then pointed to the piece of cloth on the table in front of him.
"Yes! I will definitely handle this matter properly!"
Da Hong stepped forward, picked up the piece of cloth from the table in front of Xuan Yuan, bowed respectfully to Xuan Yuan, and then turned and left.
After Da Hong left, Xuan Yuan began to ponder the future path of Blood Battle City, muttering to himself.
"After that cataclysmic change in the world, the gap in the Origin Mountains began to widen, and its length became dozens of times greater than before."
"The western city wall of Bloodbath City, which was once the narrowest part of the southern gap in the entire Origin Mountain Range, is now tens of thousands of meters wide. According to the explorations over the years, the total area occupied by the southern gap in the Origin Mountain Range is much larger than the former human territory."
"Over the years, we have sent out numerous clansmen to search for news in all directions. However, these clansmen have either never returned and never been heard from again, or after a long period of exploration on that suddenly appeared vast land in the outside world, they have been forced to return."
"In recent years, perhaps the only good news we have found is from the few scattered demons around us. Unfortunately, they were also separated from their demon clansmen when the world changed drastically, and they don't know any useful information."
"Over the years, according to the information we have gathered, the total area of the vast and gentle land that has been explored by countless people has already surpassed the former Tianyuan Continent."
"The land occupied by the people who have spread out from Bloodbath City is almost the size of the former human territory."
"Overnight, the world became incredibly vast, as if the entire Tianyuan Continent had expanded countless times!"
