Accompanied by cheers and applause all the way, Li Rui finally arrived at Yirulan City.

  This is the largest city in the western border, with a population of 500,000 registered residents, and it is also the capital of the western border.

  It is said that long ago, this was a city of elves.

  After the "Battle of Shattered Days", the elves launched a "Great Retreat" and sailed out to sea, disappearing into the unknown. Humans took advantage of this opportunity to occupy this land and this beautiful city.

  Ilorin is not only much larger than Greenhills, but also very bright and beautiful. The houses are painted in a variety of colors, the goods are piled high, and even the shops are painted in different colors;

  The extraordinary people wore embroidered bright-colored long gowns, and the ordinary people also dressed exceptionally gorgeously. Everyone was showing off their best side.

  The most striking feature is the four massive statues in the city square, depicting Markov and three ancestors of the Pulverize, Greenlead, and Thunderfire families.

  Cities with a bit of depth all have similar sculpture combinations, the routine is the same - Markov + local historical celebrities.

  Your Imperial Majesty has participated in all the great events of human history, with numerous followers and disciples spread throughout the empire. They also take pride in this and actively boast about this glorious history.

  Li Rui was attracted by the exquisite and vivid sculptures, which were exactly the same as the reliefs in the mausoleums at that time.

  The creator's craftsmanship is exquisite, making lifeless stones come alive with vividness, and the beauty of art contained in it can be felt by even an outsider like him, a true master!

  ~~~~

  As I looked closely, two blonde beauties walked towards me with a leisurely pace and a gentle smile.

  They have beautiful figures, wearing battle skirts with intricate hollow flower patterns and shoulder armor.

  A pair of feet as white as jade led the way. A faint aura of intimidation enveloped the entire scene, this was a Golden Stage Superhuman.

  A gentle nod of intention, a voice that reaches every person's ear:

  "Welcome, traveler from Greenhaven, welcome to Elyria. I am Shylin Thunderfire."

  Mei'er stepped forward and bowed: "Ms. Xilin, it's an honor to meet you, I'm at your service."

  Before coming, I had done my homework and memorized the "Hero Spectrum" of Yirulan City. Unexpectedly, the one who welcomed me was the second person in the city!

  Ms. Shirin is both the half-sister and partner of City Master Rui Thunderfire, one of only two Golden Transcendents in Elyria.

  Li Rui secretly cursed in his heart - the Lei Ting Huo family was self-producing and self-selling for the sake of purifying their bloodline. The people here would do anything for the sake of their extraordinary bloodline.

  At this time, the girl behind came forward and saluted with her hands on her chest: "Welcome, everyone, I am Xi Ya Lei Huo."

  Her dress was more sensual, revealing her slender and tight waist and beautiful navel, with perfect curves. Her golden big eyes were staring at Li Rui.

  "Ah, this is my sister, also newly promoted to the Silver Rank. I heard that you have some doubts about the extermination of the bandit gang, so she came specifically to visit."

  Sia walked up to Li Rui with a big smile and open arms, embracing him.

  This is an ancient ritual.

  In ancient times, there was no Markov chain to create an extraordinary road. Everyone's practice was varied and diverse. When men and women sought a match, they had to hug each other first to check their physical condition, lest the difference in physique be too great and lead to embarrassment on the wedding night, or even loss of life.

  Xi Ya used all her strength but ended up rattling her own bones and almost falling apart; Li Ruo was nonchalant, he didn't even move.

  "A mighty power, a body more resilient than steel, praise you!"

  She said a few polite words and deliberately rubbed against him a few times before retreating gracefully.

  The people of Green Ridge had gloomy faces and came up with a marriage proposal, such a straightforward expression was not intended to dig a hole in the wall on the spot.

  But it's impossible to make a scene, this is a ritual that conforms to etiquette and tradition, no one can find fault with it.

  ~~~~~

  After a few pleasantries, the others fell back a few steps and gradually moved away. They had a number in mind and knew that someone was waiting here for whom.

  Only Mei'er refused to show weakness, and under the pressure of Jinjie's prestige, she tightly followed Li Rui.

  Ms. Xi Lin gave her a faint glance, and Mei Er responded with a polite smile. She represented the Fen Su family and was Li Rui's only formal partner, she couldn't back down!

  While Xiya saw Li Rui frequently gazing at the statue, she naturally walked over and introduced herself.

  "Two thousand years ago, the empire had not yet been born, and humanity was in the era of city-states and tribes. The ancestors of the three families of Fen Suo, Lu Ling, and Lei Huo followed Your Majesty to conquer the Great Rift, expelling the demons that ravaged the human kingdom."

  Li Rui nodded frequently. The "muscle man" in the carving was a Green Ridge ancestor, who had seen him in the relief of the mausoleum before. The other three were seen for the first time, all of whom were magnificent and majestic men.

  The statue of the ancestors of Green Ridge is lined up at the end, but it's very eye-catching. Because everyone else is dressed neatly and fully accessorized. He just wears a pair of shorts, revealing a physique as strong as steel and iron.

  However, Lei Ting Huo and Fen Sui's ancestors were spirited and lively, but the Green Ridge ancestor looked somewhat... gloomy?

  Sia glanced at Mel inadvertently and said lightly:

  "The ancestors of the Greenleaf family had an affair with a succubus, and even gave birth to offspring. Lord Markov was outraged, considering his actions no different from those of a traitor, and exiled him."

  She implied that Green Ridge's ancestors were lustful and disloyal, and their descendants' bloodline was impure.

  Mei smiled elegantly and calmly took over the conversation:

  "It was for this reason that our ancestors were able to establish the Green Ridge City. Not only did it provide shelter for countless ordinary people, but also gave birth to extraordinary individuals who became the backbone of the entire human world. The Green Ridge family is proud to follow Your Majesty's teachings and noble bloodline!"

  Xia smiled shallowly and replied: "Yes, we descendants can't humiliate the noble blood of our ancestors."

  Mei'er's face was ashen and gloomy, she lowered her head and didn't speak. Because the Green Ridge family had... become extinct.

  Miss Xi Lin gave her sister a covert glance, implying a warning - "You're being too hasty."

  "It's really a pity that people's minds weren't as open back then as they are now."

  The various metaphors and veiled attacks between women didn't faze Li Rui at all. He placed his hand on Mei Er's waist, feeling the beautiful curves and astonishing elasticity, as he stroked her and said:

  "We two will rebuild the Green Ridge family and have a dozen or twenty babies all with the surname Green Ridge!"

  This time, Xiya's face turned gloomy.

  Meryl was happy to be in her partner's arms, and suddenly felt that these arguments were no longer important. Her partner didn't care about family background, bloodline, wealth, or anything like that, but simply liked her for who she was.

  The girl's whole person became bright and cheerful, putting down her thoughts, like a couple on an outing, speaking in a soft voice:

  "Vitan's ancestor was a true hero! When the Wraith Apocalypse swept across the world, Your Majesty had already gone into seclusion. The ancestor single-handedly killed 'Immortal Emperor Nalcha' among the countless armies and turned the tide of heaven! Later, he died from his severe injuries."

  Sia adjusted her mindset and echoed:

  "It is said that the vengeful spirits and heavenly calamities are also the work of demons, who fear Your Majesty and hide in the great chasm, not daring to come out, and can only use sinister plots."

  At home, Xuan Yuan's sister explained that Li Rui had gained a lot of historical knowledge, and he curiously asked:

  "Then who made these exquisite carvings?"

  The stone used to make the statue is called bluestone, which is as hard as steel and cannot be excavated by ordinary people. The author must be a strong person with great talent.
