Chapter 752 A Special Way Into the City

"Based on what you said, the demoness from the Snake Race actually became a renowned hero today?"

You Su’s tone was astonished, and thinking that Miss Xueruo wasn’t implicated by him but rather acquired the name of a savior, he felt greatly relieved.

He didn’t care at all about the different treatment the girl who fought alongside him received, he felt sincerely happy for her.

The only trouble was, his junior sister could be considered someone from Lotus Peak, and she was the only disciple of Lotus Peak who could be found. Those who attempted to vent their resentment towards him on Lotus Peak would surely want to hold his junior sister accountable, but fortunately, the junior sister could also count as the sister of a hero, and given she was of the sensitive identity of the Demon Race, these people would definitely not dare to overstep easily.

As a result, the safety of the few women You Su valued most had a certain level of assurance, which made You Su secretly clench his fist.

"Why can’t demons be heroes? In today’s Five Continents, our only common enemy is evil spirits. That Miss Ji can ignore racial gaps and save many people and demons from under the hands of these evil beings makes her a deserved hero."

Miss Wang saw You Su’s amazed tone and thought You Su not only hated evil but also looked down on the Demon Race. Admirable as she was of Miss Ji, of course, she wanted to correct You Su’s perspective but didn’t know that the young man pretending to be ignorant before her was more delighted to see Miss Ji’s brilliance than she was.

Qu Ye just chuckled upon hearing, without correcting anything. This couple who loved traveling had seen more sceneries, and their attitude towards all existence was more peaceful and accepting, being the rare peace coexistence advocates towards the Demon Race.

You Su nodded as if suddenly realizing, "So the Demon Race has good people too."

"Of course. Mr. Ding, don’t think that because someone is a demon, they’re necessarily bad. Humans and demons both have bad people, but they’re a minority, so humans and demons aren’t necessarily incompatible." Miss Wang smiled lightly, pleased with You Su’s understanding.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Ding," Qu Ye suddenly shifted the topic, his expression becoming serious, "The current world is uneasy. The control over people of unclear origin among the continents is quite strict. I traveled from Zhongyuan Continent to this place, expending countless efforts. If not for being a disciple of Xi Yi Mansion, relying a bit, I might not have even been able to set foot in Beiao Continent. Perhaps the extreme north here is better, but if you’re planning to head south, you’ll need to be prepared for all sorts of inspections."

You Su feigned surprise by raising his eyebrow, then said righteously, "Inspect away then. I, Ding Zhen, won’t change my name or surname. I am originally from Beiao Continent, could they arrest me?"

"Certainly not, especially since Mr. Ding is talented. It’s just that I’m worried Mr. Ding might inadvertently offend someone without understanding their rules, producing some unintended incidents, which would hinder Mr. Ding in realizing his ambitions and be not worth the trouble."

Qu Ye kindly coaxed the fearless young bull, You Su. Even in the freezing Beiao Continent, such an innocent heart is rare across the Five Continents, and he feared You Su’s sincere heart might be extinguished before shining at the Divine Mountain.

You Su nodded inwardly, appreciating Qu Ye’s gentle and kind nature as a person worth befriending.

"That seems reasonable... What’s needed for the inspection?"

"Documentation to prove identity, verifying origins, recording destinations, and some other inspections, that’s all. It’s not meant to trouble anyone, just a bit cumbersome, and Mr. Ding needs just to be patient and cooperate." Qu Ye worried about the straightforward You Su not having the patience.

"What’s so difficult about that?"

You Su waved his hand confidently, although he was still worried internally.

If inspections are so strict, won’t he be unable to enter towns during this southern journey, forced to live in the wild?

And even if he manages, reaching Kongyuan Divine Mountain and ascending it would be almost impossible.

So the urgent issue now is quickly obtaining an identity.

Qu Ye sighed helplessly, lacking confidence in You Su’s assertiveness but thinking that a genius like You Su might need to cause a bit of stir to gain fame quickly, he felt relieved. After all, You Su’s prowess exceeded his own, and being a native of Beiao Continent, worrying about him seemed overreaching.

After some simple reminders, Qu Ye ceased discussing heavy national issues and instead elaborated on strange tales of the outside world endlessly. You Su occasionally feigned ignorance, leading to continuous laughter from Qu Ye and Miss Wang.

The two also revealed their real purpose during the conversation. While they didn’t deny their search for auroras, the Arctic Snowfield auroras were more of a fallback.

Originally, their primary target was Aurora Valley, one of the eleven sacred lands. Heard that it offers views of colorful auroras year-round—the most brilliant ribbons between heaven and earth, dancing across the night sky. The entire valley is dreamlike and enchanting, seemingly allowing one to touch the shifting radiance of the firmament.

But Aurora Valley does not have a definite location like Jade Ring Pool, and among the sacred lands, only two share this characteristic with Aurora Valley.

Some claimed to have entered Aurora Valley in the north of Beiao Continent incidentally; others said to have found it in the south of Beiao Continent. Yet upon verification, this stunning valley remained elusive. Consequently, Aurora Valley’s exact position is a mystery, a wonderland accessible only by the truly destined.
