Chapter 352: Purple Fox

Yu Zhizhi closed her eyes. As the teleportation activated, she felt the Cat Clan youth press something into her hand.

A few minutes seemed to pass...

The GURGLING sound in her ears gradually faded away. Slowly, Yu Zhizhi felt a damp wind brush across her cheeks.

She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a remote alley. From the mouth of the alley, she could see twinkling specks of light.

’Have I arrived at Cang Mountain?’

Yu Zhizhi’s first instinct was to look down at the object in her hand. It was the last thing Zero had given her.

She discovered it was an envelope.

Inside was a letter and a Spiritual Magic Card for creating a disguise.

Yu Zhizhi was no stranger to disguises...

Back in Moonrise Paradise, she had disguised herself as a turtle.

The letter said she should use a light disguise to avoid attracting attention. It also provided the address of a small tavern where she could stay for the time being.

Yu Zhizhi took out the pure white Spiritual Technique Card. After silently reciting the Spell on it, her appearance underwent a simple disguise—

—she transformed from a white rabbit into a cream-colored, lop-eared rabbit.

The Little Octopus watched in amazement.

This kind of disguise Spiritual Technique was common, and its effects usually only lasted a few hours. However, the card Zero gave Yu Zhizhi was rich in Spiritual Power and would probably last for several months.

Unless the user themselves dispelled it.

Or if someone of a higher Realm forcibly broke the spell.

Everything was ready.

Yu Zhizhi walked toward the mouth of the alley with a light step, the Little Octopus in tow.

They grew closer and closer to the light.

Once they reached the end of the alley, the full view of their destination was finally revealed. Yu Zhizhi stared in astonishment at the scene before her—

She was on high ground, with a view of layered medieval buildings stretching into the distance. Countless lights shone brightly. Looking up, she saw deep, dark reef-like rocks that looked as if they were part of a painting.

This was an Underground City!

On the winding path outside the alley, many pedestrians passed by. There were merchants pushing small carts and travelers carrying bottles of wine. A constant, bustling murmur of conversation filled the air, noisy yet strangely reassuring.

The Cang Mountain Ruins...

She had heard that after the fall of the Cangshan Empire, only ruins remained.

So they had built an Underground City!

It was the first time the Little Octopus had ever seen such a sight. With its oversized brown bag on its back, it peered down at the various storefronts below, its eyes sparkling.

"Wooooow~~~"

Yu Zhizhi wrapped her veil securely around herself and, with the Little Octopus, began to search for the place she was meant to stay.

From their vantage point, she could see the shop numbers below.

Along the way, she saw a two-person cable car. Yu Zhizhi couldn’t use her personal account for now, or the Valoran Empire would be able to track her.

She had prepared some cash before she came.

When she took it out, the cable car operator shook his head. "Miss Rabbit, in the Underground City, you must use the city’s official currency. You can take what you have to the Silver Workshop at the very top to exchange it."

Yu Zhizhi looked up. It was so high...

It would probably take a whole day to walk up there.

Yu Zhizhi asked, "Sir, could you take us up first? I’ll pay for the ride after I exchange my money."

The owl man thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright!"

The lop-eared rabbit girl in front of him looked quite innocent, not like the type of scammer who would try to get a free ride.

He opened the cable car door. "Please."

The cable car was an open-air model. The Little Octopus eagerly hopped aboard with a THUMP, causing the dark-colored car to sway from side to side.

It quickly grabbed the railing with its tentacles.

The owl said, "Easy there, easy there."

Yu Zhizhi lifted her skirt and carefully climbed in. She sat across from the Little Octopus. The cable cars served as both public transport and a means of sightseeing in the Underground City.

The cable car started to move slowly.

The wind in the Underground City was damp, and in the distance, she could see sprinkler windmills.

Yu Zhizhi watched the scenery pass by. This place was incredibly prosperous and full of life, completely different from what everyone thought the Cang Mountain Ruins would be.

The cable car stopped at the entrance of the Silver Workshop at the very top.

After getting out, Yu Zhizhi went inside and successfully exchanged her money for the Underground City’s currency.

As she was leaving, someone came running in from outside and bumped right into her shoulder.

Yu Zhizhi stumbled back a few steps.

The one who had bumped into her was a young girl from the Goat Clan. She quickly apologized, "I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry."

Yu Zhizhi said, "It’s all right..."

The Goat Clan girl was in a great hurry. She rushed to the counter and placed all the gold she was holding onto the desk.

"Please exchange this for the Underground City’s currency! I’m begging you!"

"I’m sorry," the clerk refused. "We only exchange currency here. We don’t accept gold and silver items."

"But my master has been struck by a sudden illness! I need to find a doctor right away! The doctors in the Underground City only accept local currency—I’m begging you!"

"I’m very sorry, but those are the rules of the Silver Workshop. I really can’t exchange it."

The Goat Clan girl was frantic. She suddenly remembered the lop-eared rabbit she had just bumped into and hurried back outside.

Luckily, she hadn’t gone far.

The Goat Clan girl grabbed Yu Zhizhi’s arm and pleaded, "Miss, pretty miss, can I trade my gold for the currency you have?"

Yu Zhizhi hadn’t even had time to react.

The Goat Clan girl had already spread all her gold and silver out in front of her. "My master is sick, and I urgently need currency to hire a doctor. All of this is real."

"Sick?" The Little Octopus poked out half of its round head. "You’ve got a Healer standing right in front of you."

The Goat Clan girl’s eyes suddenly widened. She said excitedly, "Miss Healer, are you willing to treat my master? I can give you all of this—"

’If she’s a Healer, then I can skip the step of exchanging currency.’

Yu Zhizhi hesitated.

She had just arrived, she didn’t know the lay of the land, and she didn’t know this girl.

The Goat Clan girl quickly pulled out a handful of Spirit Technique Cards from her clothes. "Here are three basic, four intermediate, and six High-level ones. If you wouldn’t mind, these can all be your payment for the treatment!"

"Oh, right, our carriage is just up ahead—"

"To be honest, my master fell ill right after we entered the Underground City. My luggage, which had our currency in it, was stolen. All I have left are these few pieces of gold and silver jewelry, and some spirit cards I keep for self-defense."

"Please, Miss Healer, I’m begging you to take a look at my master."

The Goat Clan girl pleaded desperately.

Yu Zhizhi glanced to the side, where a carriage was parked.

In the end, she decided to go have a look.

"I’ll go take a look first. If it’s something I can treat, I don’t want the gold. I’d like a few of your Spirit Technique Cards," Yu Zhizhi said softly.

Among the Spirit Technique Cards the Goat Clan girl had shown her, there were a few that Yu Zhizhi really wanted.

’Judging by the runic imprints on these cards...’

If she remembered correctly, they should be Spirit Technique Cards from the Moon Rising Empire.

’So, they’re from Moonrise?’

Yu Zhizhi walked over to the carriage. She gently pulled back the curtain, and her eyes fell upon a purple fox.
