Chapter 106

Under such intense curiosity, the little cat-girls followed the fox-person warrior leading the way and arrived at the City of Divine Marks!

The view of the Divine Marks Wastes was wonderfully open; from afar, Princess Lottie could already see the tall, massive city walls of the City of Divine Marks!

Right above the city gate stood a tall torch.

On this torch, Xiong Xiong's flames burned day and night without cease!

"That is…"

The little cat-girl beside Princess Lottie widened her eyes.

She had never imagined that such a magnificent city would appear here!

Princess Lottie's heart was filled with astonishment as well!

The beastfolk's Chengzhai were basically built of wood.

At most, the lower portion was stone.

Because the beastfolk had no good binding agent, building too high with stone would easily collapse.

Only a few powerful races would build stone city walls, but even those wouldn't be too tall.

Yet this city's walls were far too tall!

At least ten meters high!

Such tall walls, yet built so neatly, looking solid and majestic!

How could such a city appear in fox-kin territory?

Even among human kingdoms, neatly built walls like these were rare!

Princess Lottie was completely baffled!

Her little head was full of questions!

At last, they arrived beneath the city gate.

Standing beneath the city gate and looking up, the towering height of the walls was felt even more!

Beside the city gate, Sister Qing Ling's mother came out personally to welcome them.

"Auntie Ellie!"

Princess Lottie saw Sister Qing Ling's mother, her face filled with joy.

As a child she had lived for several years in Sister Qing Ling's mother's tribe, and was on very good terms with her.

"Lottie, you've grown up."

Sister Qing Ling's mother looked at Princess Lottie, a smile also appearing on her face.

Sister Qing Ling's mother and Princess Lottie stood there exchanging pleasantries for quite a while, then Sister Qing Ling's mother said:

"It's not proper to keep standing here—come, let's go inside the temple to talk. The Holy Maiden is a bit busy, so she didn't come out to greet you."

Princess Lottie looked puzzled: "Holy Maiden?"

Sister Qing Ling's mother nodded and said: "Mm, that's Sister Qing Ling—she is the First Holy Maiden of the great Lord of Flames!"

"Sister Qing Ling? Holy Maiden!"

Princess Lottie's confusion only deepened.

Sister Qing Ling's mother did not explain further, saying: "You'll understand once you go in—let's go!"

With that, she led the way ahead.

Princess Lottie saw this and followed her in.

"Princess, look—quick, the road here…"

Behind Princess Lottie, a little cat-girl pointed at the straight, clean road ahead. Though her voice was kept very low, the wonder within it could not be hidden!

In truth, they had long since stepped onto the broad cement road, but having seen so many astonishing things along the way, they had failed to notice the road beneath their feet!

Only now did they realize that the road underfoot seemed different from roads elsewhere?

What a clean road!

That was their first impression.

Not a speck of trash on the road!

You have to know, beastfolk who love cleanliness are few. Comparatively speaking, the fox-kin and cat-kin do better in personal hygiene, but public hygiene—well, it's hard to describe!

In a beastfolk Chengzhai, having a flagstone road was already quite something, but even flagstone roads were usually littered with trash!

Such a clean road simply could not exist!

Unbelievably clean!

And this road, made of who-knows-what, had no seams at all—perfectly flat and even, not a single bump!

Such a road they had never seen nor heard of.

So much so that, as they walked, they all lowered their heads to look at the road.

Even the dozen-plus cat-kin warriors protecting them were the same!

And so they passed through the city gate and entered the City of Divine Marks.

The little cat-girl finally raised her head and looked at this mysterious city.

Then, her mouth dropped open into an "O."

This city was simply too beautiful!
