Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Time flies like an arrow, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

The major events happening across the world gradually spread towards the center of the Da Li Dynasty as time went by.

Da Li City!

This is a grand city with a population of three million.

The structures in the city are towering and spectacular, with palaces and pavilions reaching into the clouds, red walls and green tiles, golden splendor, exuding a majestic aura.

Every road is wide and smooth, paved with stone slabs, flanked by lush trees, bustling with traffic.

Outside the city, there are numerous temples and Taoist monasteries with flourishing incense offerings, Buddha statues within the temples are solemn, and the sound of chanting is constant; some Taoist masters publicly preach the Tao, creating an atmosphere of solemn tranquility.

As the capital of the Da Li Dynasty, this is the most prosperous place in the world, the streets lined with shops, offering a dazzling array of goods.

There are wealthy gentlemen in silk clothing, martial arts people wearing longswords and short blades, and cultivators with aloof demeanor and bright eyes.

While the people across the sixteen states of the Da Li Dynasty struggle for survival, Da Li City remains a scene of lavish banquets and extravagant revelry.

Even in the nearest cities to Da Li City, there are refugees fleeing from famine in groups, yet these refugees cannot enter the bounds of Da Li City, being kept outside by the benevolent lords of the Da Li Dynasty who cannot bear to see such human tragedy.

....

As evening falls, a river runs through Da Li City, with green willows hanging by its banks, and pleasure boats cruising upon it.

The boats are brightly lit, with melodious qin sounds, colorful lanterns hanging high, reflecting ripples on the surrounding water.

Each boat has different styles, representing the sect forces behind them.

On the boats are talented disciples from sects all over the Da Li Dynasty, with numerous boats forming a circle by sticking close to each other, linking head to tail.

Many cultivators wander on the boats, engaging in spirited discussions, debating scriptures and Tao, some even fiercely arguing, or sparring on the river surface, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Hahaha, that's truly his style, as cheeky as ever."

On one of the boats, a graceful silhouette sat at the edge of the deck.

The girl wore a verdant long dress, the breeze ruffling her hair to reveal a face with bright eyes and white teeth, so exquisite it seemed to be a carefully crafted porcelain by a master, her skin delicate like condensing fat.

At this moment, the corners of the girl's eyes slightly lifted, sketching a charming yet playful curve, akin to a crescent hanging gently in the night sky, her joyful emotions visible to the naked eye.

Ning Xinyue held a Residence Report in her hands, a novelty that had appeared in Da Li City in recent years, able to present the affairs of the world on a single paper, enjoying high sales in Da Li City with a high literacy rate.

Currently, the latest issue of the Residence Report Ning Xinyue read featured headlines about a series of mischievous operations by Su Jie in Qing Province.

Among them, even the raiding of the Sixth Prince by Su Jie was detailed in full, causing her to laugh joyfully.

There were many other cultivators around, all reading their Residence Reports, but each wore differing expressions.

Most frowned, uncomfortable with allowing a Devilish Immortal Seed to be so arrogant, stealing the limelight, making the present righteous sect talented disciples feel uneasy.

"This Su Jie devil has appeared on the top headlines several times in the Residence Report; he's truly energetic, hardly stopping for a moment!"

"Such a reckless and wanton devil, hmph, I see he's asking for trouble."

"Watching him build up his empire, watching him host guests, watching it fall apart. Occasionally, a few geniuses from the Demon Path pop up, but soon disappear; too flamboyant ones don't last long."

These talented sect cultivators discussed among themselves, displaying disdain towards the demon-like Su Jie and did not hold him in regard.

"Tch, you Secret Realm cultivators, how can you reasonably judge a Daoist Platform Realm Demon Path powerhouse?"

Ning Xinyue smirked, speaking arrogantly with a crisp voice.

The talented cultivators present immediately showed dissatisfaction, then turned, ready to teach the ignorant youngster a lesson, but upon seeing Ning Xinyue, their mouths twitched slightly.

Despite Ning Xinyue's youthful appearance, she was already at Secret Realm Fifth Level cultivation, and many present had been beaten by this mischievous girl.

Many of these talents hadn't reached a cultivation as high as Ning Xinyue's, and with the numerous treasures in this girl's hands, her Vajra Bracelet heavier than ten thousand pounds, collecting soldiers and striking people without fail, many had been dealt with by her.

Gradually, Ning Xinyue earned the title of being the foremost below the Daoist Platform Realm within Da Li City.

However, this was not universally recognized, many believing Ning Xinyue relied on her treasures, not true ability.

It's not that geniuses haven't taken a dislike to Ning Xinyue; among them, some have reached the Daoist Platform Realm, wanting to teach her a lesson, but the key point is, Ning Xinyue can summon help!

One must know, Ning Xinyue's sister suppresses the cultivators among the Da Li Dynasty's younger generation; none can withstand three rounds against her sister.

Those wishing to bully her were made obedient by a mere slap from her sister.

While speaking, more footsteps approached.

A man and woman slowly arrived, the man being the Sixth Prince of the Da Li Dynasty, Wei Lanchen, who was at the center of the topic storm.

The woman was tall with jet-black hair tied neatly with golden silk behind her head, a few strands casually hanging.

Instead of wearing the beautiful robes and dresses of ordinary women, she wore a set of golden armor, the shining armor closely fitting her slender body, appearing valiant and spirited, yet not losing the graceful lines of femininity.
