At the ruins of Cloud Valley City, the distinctions between the Ghosts’ turf and the Demons’ turf were easily seen by the state of the human corpses in them. The dead bodies on the Ghosts’ turf were withered and gray. As for the Demons’ side, well... there weren’t any bodies. They’d all been devoured completely. Mindy observed with a frown. “Those look like zombies. I wouldn’t be half-surprised if they suddenly got up and started attacking us.” Little Li, on the other hand, was throwing up incessantly. She was down on her hands and knees, already having lost her breakfast and seemed to have little more to spew up, but she was still heaving non-stop, various fluids dripping from her eyes and nose at the same time. “Something tells me that when she thought of joining the battle front and her sister, this wasn’t what she had in mind.” Ling Yun mentioned to Remian in a low voice. Even he looked disturbed at the sheer amount of the dead. “Do they really lo

The deal Mindy worked out with the Xue and Mu clans was a bit different from what Remian had in mind. For one thing, she included more goods than the appliances that Remian had brought. For instance, Floating Carts. Frankly speaking, these were derivations of hot-air balloons that people could push around, mainly as an expensive novelty. They had the advantages of being able to reach upper floors and roofs without needing to carry stuff by hand up ladder or stairs, and if necessary, even fly. When Remian found them upon awakening, Little Li and Mu Hou were thirty feet in the air with Mindy, all in a horse-cart tied to a massive hot air balloon.

There was a distinct taste to Wilds meat due to that, and Mindy was pleased to discover that Mu Hou placed a high value on such

“Ay’eni.” “Remian.” “We have a way to send you back to Quarin space. It could take a day or so, but you would get there immediately.” “Really? How?” “We bring you through the Portal to Xiao Yan’s world, and there, we use the ancient formation near Scorched Earth City to send you to the place marked ‘home’. That’s how I left that world the last time and I ended up in Quarin space. You can do the same.” “Why, that sounds awfully convenient! But right now, we’re in the middle of something, and we don’t abandon our commitments easily.” “Oh? Are you really not going to take the quickest way back?” “Well... it’s tempting, but no. We’ll finish what we started here first, and by the time we’re done, there will be other ways to go home.” “That’s too bad. I was hoping I could ask you for support from Quarin space once you returned.” “Eh... that’s... really too bad. I’m sorry, but I have to go. Your brother’s still fightin
