Chapter 4248 Enquiring
They fell into deep slumber, lasting for an entire two days and two nights. Over the past few days, they had been tortured under the scorching hot sun. Now that they had a comfortable place that they felt assured in and the temperature was much cooler, they slept to their heart’s content. Only after they had slept enough did they wake up naturally as each of them left the room refreshed.
When he heard that they had not been out of their rooms, City Lord also ordered his subordinates not to disturb them, until, two days later, when they stepped out of their rooms only did the City Lord let his people prepare food for them.
“Master, do you want to go around the city today?” Du Fan asked, as he looked at Feng Jiu.
“Well, there’s nothing to do, it’s good to go and have a look.” Feng Jiu said, seeing that several people were full, she said, “Let’s head to the front and look for Elder Yan!”
City Lord and Elder Yan were talking as they headed towards where they lived, and when they met them halfway, the two of them greeted them with smiles.
“Young Miss Feng, is the meal still to your liking?” The City Lord asked with a smile.
“The meal was very good, I just ate my fill, we thought of going for a walk in the city.” Feng Jiu smiled and said.
“Oh, haha, that’s just right, let’s accompany you together!” He smiled and stepped slightly to the side as he made a gesture of invitation, “Please.”
Thus, Feng Jiu several people followed the two of them out of the City Lord’s Manor and headed towards the city.
“City Lord.”
“City Lord.”
“Why did City Lord come out today?”
Perhaps because the people in the City Lord were familiar with the City Lord, as he accompanied them around the City and introduced them to the sights in the City, many of them smiled and saluted in greeting.
Feng Jiu and the others were new faces, not only because they looked outstanding and conspicuous, but also because the clothes they wore weren’t the same as the locals here which were all white, therefore, one could tell at a glance that they were from other places.
For people from outside the city, they had curiosity and sized them up, but they didn’t dare to be too unrestrained because they were accompanied by the City Lord and Elder Yan.
Feng Jiu glanced around and smiled, “For the City Lord to be loved by the people like this, he must be a rare and good City Lord.” Only those who were working hard for the people could win the hearts of the people. Even though he was the City Lord, he did not put on any airs and it could be seen that the people here support him.
“Ha ha ha, it’s just doing something for the people of the City, it’s not so much being a good City Lord.” The City Lord humbly waved his hand and smiled.
Young Miss Feng did not know, our Nightless City is an isolated city, sourcing for goods is not easy, especially this black cloth. It is extremely difficult to find and what our City Lord did was to set up a team to go out of the city every month to traverse hundreds of miles to go to other towns to trade, but also let the people teach the people of our city to dye our own black cloth in order to shade the sun. The City Lord has done a lot of things for us, the people all respect him very much.”
Feng Jiu was slightly surprised, “Oh? There is a trip out of the city every month here?”
“That’s right, it’s just that the journey is quite far and it takes a few days to come and go.” The City Lord said and said to Feng Jiu, “Young Miss Feng, let’s have a cup of tea in the tea stall ahead!”
“Sounds good.” Feng Jiu responded and walked with them towards the tea stall not far in front.
There were black nets hung above the city to block out some of the heat and the city could be considered quite cool compared to the outside of the city. Moreover, they had been here for a few days already and they had also gradually adapted to the heat here.
Sitting at the tea stall, Feng Jiu inquired: “City Lord, why hasn’t the Sun set at all? What is the reason for that, do you know?”
Hearing this, the few people sitting at the other table also looked towards the City Lord with curiosity.
