A King Summoner Travels Through the World of Ye Luoli

"My benefactor! My benefactor!"

After breakfast, Lu Zhaoran went out with Xiao Qi. She planned to have Xiao Qi show her around Luoque City.

She was also looking forward to the tenth anniversary banquet three months later, hoping to meet the Queen's fairy... She really wanted to get to know her.

However, after walking only a few steps, they encountered someone... well... someone they could call an acquaintance.

"Hey! It's you!"

"It's me! My benefactor, my name is Cheng Jiajia, the second young master of the Cheng family in Luoque City. What's your name, benefactor?"

Xiao Qi's eyes lit up when he saw the person. He looked at the person with such joy that the person opposite him felt a little embarrassed.

"My name is Xiaoqi. Cheng Jiajia, are you here to give me a thank-you gift?"

"Thank you? No, no, no, that's nothing. I'm here today for something important."

Xiao Qi's straightforward question startled the boy for a moment, and then he waved his hand in denial.

"No? You're not here to give me money? Then what are you doing here? Let me tell you, money is the most important thing. If you're not here to give me money, then don't delay my business."

"Oh, my benefactor, don't worry, the money will definitely be plentiful. But the main reason I'm here today is to invite you to visit the newly built Yelan Palace."

"Night Palace?"

"Yes, yes, you just arrived and don't know yet, but the city lord is going to host a banquet for five great fairies. This palace was built specifically for this banquet."

Lu Zhaoran and Xiao Qi exchanged a glance.

This is truly like someone bringing you a pillow when you're sleepy.

"My benefactor, are you going or not?"

"go with!"

Xiao Qi readily agreed; there was no reason not to eat when the food was practically offered to her.

"Um... um... is this fairy sister... benefactor, your wife?"

After Cheng Jiajia finished talking with Xiao Qi, she suddenly turned her gaze to Lu Zhaoran.

"Ah? Madam? No, no, no? This is my sister, her surname is Lu and her given name is Zhaoran."

“She’s my benefactor’s sister! That’s wonderful! Fairy sister, since you are my benefactor’s sister, then you are the person I, Cheng Jiajia, must protect.”

Cheng Jiajia bypassed Xiao Qi and came to Lu Zhaoran's side, circling around him with great enthusiasm; if she had a tail, it would wag it.

"Get out of the way, it's not your turn to protect her."

Xiao Qi suddenly realized that the boy had ulterior motives when he saw him fawning over Lu Zhaoran.

………………

"We've arrived, we've arrived, this is the Nightfall Palace."

The three of them rode in Cheng Jiajia's carriage, enduring a bumpy ride, until they finally arrived at a lavishly luxurious palace. The palace was magnificent and resplendent, leaving everyone in awe. The palace gates were tightly shut, and two tall, imposing guards stood at the entrance, holding long spears and solemnly guarding the palace. Cheng Jiajia alighted from the carriage, walked to the palace gate, and explained her purpose to the guards. The guards recognized Cheng Jiajia, nodded, and opened the palace gates.

"As expected of the Cheng family."

Xiaoqi couldn't help but sigh when she saw how easily they walked in.

"Brother Qi, do you also listen to the Cheng family?"

After hearing Xiao Qi praise her family, Cheng Jiajia excitedly asked about it.

"I've heard of it. The prosperity of Luoque City is largely thanks to Cheng Jitang, the head of the Cheng family."

"Of course, Cheng Jitang is my own brother, sigh..."

Cheng Jiajia looked around, then leaned close to Xiao Qi and Lu Zhaoran and whispered.

"This damn city lord does absolutely nothing. All he does is indulge in pleasure that harms the people and wastes money. He's even more of a spoiled brat than me. The one who truly cares about the development of Luoque City and its people is my brother... Hey, I'm only telling you two what my benefactor fairy sister said. You mustn't tell anyone else."

Listening to Cheng Jiajia's words, Xiao Qi and Lu Zhaoran didn't know whether to praise him for being honest or for being truthful.

While that's true, in this world, speaking ill of a fairy is practically suicide. This idiot dared to say that to two complete strangers he'd just met. His brain... It's no wonder he's still alive. But if you call him stupid, at least he told them not to tell anyone. This kid knows he'll lose his head for saying that. He's incredibly bold.

"Hehe, let me show you around."

Cheng Jiajia led Xiao Qi and Lu Zhaoran on a tour of the Night Palace.

The Palace of Nightfall truly lives up to its reputation as a palace built over ten years specifically to entertain the great fairy. Every stone and every pillar exudes an air of nobility and elegance, as if telling a story of historical accumulation. The interior decorations are even more exquisite, with murals on the walls and carvings on the ceiling showcasing superb artistry. Stepping into the Palace of Nightfall is like entering a dreamlike world, one that lingers and is hard to leave.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted, this is so big!"

After a day of shopping, Xiaoqi realized she hadn't finished and got fed up, collapsing onto the ground.

"Whoosh! Whoa... Oh dear, where have we come from? This place is huge."

Cheng Jiajia, who was also slumped on the ground, was panting heavily as she spoke to Xiao Qi.

"Hey? Fairy sister, what are you looking at? Wow, fairy sister, you're amazing, you still have so much energy after shopping all day."

Cheng Jiajia saw that Lu Zhaoran was acting as if nothing had happened, still intently examining a wall.

"Which palace does this wall correspond to, Cheng Jiajia? Why do I feel like we've never been inside?"

"Come back quickly, fairy sister, come back quickly."

When Cheng Jiajia saw that she was about to touch the wall, he was so shocked that he scrambled over and grabbed her.

"What's wrong? Can't I touch it?"

Throughout their journey, Cheng Jiajia never stopped them from touching anything.

She noticed this wall many times, but Cheng Jiajia deliberately avoided it.

"Sister, to tell you the truth, this wall is actually a passageway that leads directly to the city lord's study."

Cheng Jiajia whispered a big secret in Lu Zhaoran's ear.

"I found this when I was a child and went into the city lord's mansion with my brother. I was bored and playing by myself."

Lu Zhaoran's pupils contracted slightly; Cheng Jiajia was truly a timely help.

Do you know how to open this passage?

"Huh? Open it? No... don't be ridiculous, this could cost you your head."

Lu Zhaoran's words startled Cheng Jiajia, who took a step back and fell on her bottom because of the pain in her legs.

"you will not?"

"That goes without saying, how could we humans possibly open the things of a fairy?"

"The light of the vast ocean".

Lu Zhaoran decided to try it herself, so she summoned Da Qiao's staff.

"The Sea of ​​Destiny".

……

"Ah! Ugh! Ugh!"

Upon realizing what had happened, Cheng Jiajia couldn't help but shout out.

Fortunately, Xiaoqi reacted quickly and covered his mouth.

Shh! Don't ruin your sister's plans.

Cheng Jiajia's mind went completely blank at that moment.

Why...why do humans...possess magic...?

…………

Successful.

Looking at the antique-style study, Lu Zhaoran felt a surge of surprise.

After realizing that no one was in the room, she began to look around the study.

The layout of this study... why does it feel so familiar...?

Isn't that...
