Chapter 526: Ye Xing Translator: Timothy Editor: GlobeGlotter

“You can design a city? Can you design a city’s defense mechanisms?” Ye Mo asked, his eyes desperate.

The man said contemptuously, “I’m not the best at designing weapons. I’m better at designing cities and other things. I don’t like designing war machines; it doesn’t come naturally. It’s as if I already have the ideas in my brain.”

Ye Mo decided to take the man to Luo Yue. He felt the man was the most suitable person to develop Luo Yue City.

“I genuinely ask you to join Luo Yue City. You’ll also have a share of the city. This city belongs to everyone, and I know you’re very capable, so I hope you’ll agree. I’m certain you can only live the life you want at Luo Yue City,” Ye Mo said pleadingly.

The man could hear how serious Ye Mo was. He fell silent—he didn’t want to jump into another pit after just escaping one, but he also knew there was no point in staying in the desert. Although he didn’t know how Ye Mo would get him out, he believed Ye Mo’s words and was sure he had a way. Moreover, Ye Mo’s tone felt genuine, and he didn’t seem to be trying to trick him.

Ye Mo saw this and quickly said, “I won’t force you, but even if you don’t join Luo Yue City, I have ways to oppose Northern Sand. I know you must keep secrets to design the space flower and escape Northern Sand. Of course, I also keep secrets, since I can make the beauty pill and oppose Northern Sand. As long as you join Luo Yue City, I don’t mind letting you know some of my capabilities.”

“Your capabilities?” the man asked, confused.

Ye Mo nodded. If the man agreed to join Luo Yue City, he would have to take him away, meaning using his flying sword. This would expose his secret, but for Luo Yue City, Ye Mo didn’t mind. Also, Ye Mo felt that although he was very good at technology, his EQ was very low. He wasn’t afraid of the man betraying him.

“They call me Xing Worker. I don’t know my real name. If Luo Yue is truly as you say, then I will join you. I don’t like hiding for my life; I want to live openly. My only condition is that I can leave whenever I want,” the man said slowly.

Ye Mo rejoiced. He knew that if Xing Worker said this, he had decided to join Luo Yue City. Of course, his last condition would only be possible if he worked with Ye Mo. Ye Mo was sure that with any other country, his last condition wouldn’t work. He nodded and said, “If you don’t mind, you can have the surname ‘Ye,’ like me. I’ll call you Ye Xing from now on.”

“That’s perfect. I’ll be called Ye Xing from now on. Even if I remembered my name, I wouldn’t change it. Should I call you Ye Mo or City Lord?” Ye Xing said.

Ye Mo thought for a moment and said, “We’re all working for the same goal. I’m a step ahead of you, so you can call me Big Martial Brother.”

“Okay,” Ye Xing agreed immediately.

Ye Xing felt the monkey beside him move and said, “This is my friend, Small Ball. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have survived in the desert these past few months. I want to bring him with me.”

“No problem at all. I also learned about this place because of him. He’s very fast,” Ye Mo agreed. Although he talked a lot, Ye Xing was too useful to Luo Yue City.

Ye Mo took out a bracelet and gave it to Ye Xing. “This is a welcome gift; it can protect you. Take it.” Ye Mo didn’t want Ye Xing to die easily.

Ye Xing took the bracelet and stared at it for a while before wearing it.

“Do you think I’m lying to you?” Ye Mo asked, seeing that Ye Xing wasn’t asking how it protected him.

Ye Xing shook his head. “No. From my perspective, anything is possible. Many people are limited by their thoughts, so their potential is also limited.”

Then, Ye Xing gave a bag to Ye Mo. “This is my gift to you. Northern Sand is trying to capture me mostly because of this.”

Ye Mo opened the bag and saw two extreme energy stones. He immediately asked, “Extreme energy stones? You actually have these?”

“You know about them too?” Ye Xing was surprised.

Ye Mo also took out two crystals. “This is what I stole from Northern Sand, but I don’t know where it comes from.”

“You actually managed to take these from them?” Ye Xing looked at the crystals in shock. He finally understood the problem between Ye Mo and Northern Sand.

But before Ye Mo could speak, he said, “They’re the same as mine. I brought them with me. I don’t know where they come from either; I’ve forgotten a lot of things, but I know they’re very important. They’re a very powerful energy source. Since Martial Brother has two of these, things will be much easier in the future.”

“You can keep them. After all, you’re the designer of Luo Yue City,” Ye Mo said, giving them to Ye Xing.

Ye Xing took the crystals and said after a moment, “Martial Brother, you’re indeed different from the people in Northern Sand. Don’t worry; as long as you give me time and money, I will build a city unlike any other.”

“Okay, in that case, let’s go to Luo Yue City now,” Ye Mo said, in a much better mood. Although he hadn’t found Luo Ying, he had found an extraordinary genius.

“How will we get there?” Ye Xing followed Ye Mo to the desert’s surface and asked.

Ye Mo said, “My secret is that I can fly on a sword. Since you told me your secret, I’ll tell you mine.”

Then, Ye Mo picked up Small Ball and Ye Xing, and they all flew on the sword into the clouds.

“Flying? No wonder you don’t fear Northern Sand,” Ye Xing looked at the clouds below and said. He didn’t speak for a long time afterward.

But Ye Mo could tell Ye Xing was surprised he could fly, but not as surprised as Ning Qingxue or Luo Xuan.

“Martial Brother, what were you doing in the desert?” Ye Xing soon calmed down and started chatting.

Ye Mo’s eyes were full of despair. “I came to find my master, Luo Ying; she’s also my wife. A few months ago, she came here, but now she’s gone.”

“Are you talking about a woman in a pale yellow dress?” Ye Xing asked.

Ye Mo replied excitedly, “Martial Brother, have you seen her?”

Ye Xing nodded. “Yes, a few months ago I saw a woman dragging a huge rock; she was leaving the desert. So she was your wife. I wondered why she was carrying such a huge rock in the middle of the desert.”

Ye Mo fell silent. It was Luo Ying who had taken the stone pond indeed. As if sensing Ye Mo’s sadness, Ye Xing didn’t say anything.

By the time they reached Luo Yue, Ning Qingxue, Luo Fei, and Luo Yin had already returned from Flowing Snake. There was no need to go to Flowing Snake much anymore; Yu Miaodan would be handling things there. Ye Ling hadn’t returned; she had gone to Beijing.

Ye Mo didn’t announce Ye Xing’s arrival to everyone; he only told Xu Ping, Xu Yuehua, and Ning Qingxue. He assigned him as the head designer of Luo Yue City, who would help Xu Yuehua build the city. Although Ye Xing was very capable, he wasn’t good at socializing, so he needed to discuss some matters with Xu Yuehua.

Now that Ye Xing had joined them, Ye Mo could relax, knowing that Luo Yue City was in good hands. He was sure that with enough time, even without him, they could protect themselves.

After leaving Ning Qingxue with a chi-increasing pill, Ye Mo decided to go to the Mei Nei Snow Mountain to find a chance to ascend.

…

Ye Mo didn’t call Zeng Zhengxia. If he could find the crystals, he would give one to Zeng Zhengxia; otherwise, it would be a waste of time to make him go there.

With the map Zeng Zhengxia had left behind, Ye Mo soon found the cliff. It was indeed where the Gourd Cave had been, a place similar to where Ye Mo had been trapped.

Just as Ye Mo was about to jump into the valley and start digging, a white figure dashed across his eyes. It was that small fox; it was the third time Ye Mo had seen the small creature.

The small fox saw Ye Mo and stopped to stare at him closely.
