Kanca City's existence is surrounded by territories of all races.

Being amid the Wizard, Fairy, Demon, Mermaid, Lucifer, Vampire, Werewolf races makes the City a very strategic place for all races to meet.

Not only that, the existence of Kanca City can make it easier for those who will travel to the territory of other races.

For example, Master Liu from the Fairy Territory only needs to pass through Kanca City to then get to the Wizard Territory, and vice versa, although it sounds very easy, not everyone can do it.

Only those who have obtained certain permissions can do so.

Right now Fu Xie Lan had little understanding of how the rules were applied in this World.

She was amazed by the Rules made in such a way.

Putting barrier magic to prevent irresponsible people and people with malicious intent from entering other areas.

Barrier magic could absorb the mana of those who did not have permission to pass through.

Don't forget that one's mana that is depleted will only have one end, and that is death.

The rules are strict and at the same time provide convenience because, with the barrier magic, the security in the Artland World will be more controlled, and also lead people to only use the Kanca City route if they have interests in the territory of other races.

Using the Kanca City route will be more effective and efficient.

"Alright, since time is running fast, maybe it's better if we start moving, kid," said Master Liu after not getting any more questions.

Hearing this, Fu Xie Lan nodded, "It is up to you, Master Liu," she replied quickly.

They then parted ways, Master Liu and Fu Xie Lan walking towards the gate of Kanca City while Wan Lie, Ju Xian, and two others were still standing in place.

When the figures of Fu Xie Lan and Master Liu seemed to have disappeared from the four of them, Wan Lie slowly started to turn around. A rough sigh that for who knows how many times was heard escaped his lips. The young man felt a heavy heart letting go of his mother.

Wan Lie flapped his wings, and seconds later he was in the air, leaving the others still down there without a word.

"Hopefully Fu Xie Lan will be fine until she comes back," murmured Xue Ning, jumping onto Xue Ying's stick and leaving the area, Ju Xian following along as well.

***

Now only Master Liu, Fu Xie Lan, and Hao were left.

They had already entered the gates of Kanca City, Fu Xie Lan didn't say much and just followed where Master Liu's footsteps took her.

"We'd better take a break at the tavern, kid. You haven't eaten anything since earlier," said Master Liu suddenly and turned his head towards the back where Fu Xie Lan was.

"It's up to Master Liu, I'll just go with it," Fu Xie Lan replied.

Hearing that answer, Master Liu nodded.

"Okay," he said then walked towards where a small tavern was located.

"From now on, just call me Uncle," said Master Liu suddenly.

Fu Xie Lan who heard this looked up.

"It's okay, just continue your eating, kid," said the middle-aged man again when he saw Fu Xie Lan's confused look.

A few minutes passed, Fu Xie Lan had finished with her activities, and so was Master Liu.

They decided to continue their journey.

"Does Master Liu often visit Wizard territory?" asked Fu Xie Lan.

"I told you, just call me Uncle, don't hesitate," Master Liu replied immediately.

"All right, Uncle."

"I visit wizard territory every month, sometimes weekly, depending on the availability of the shape-shifting pill in our area."

"Why? Do you want to know something?" Master Liu asked again stopping in his tracks. He looked in all directions as if he was looking for something.

"No, Uncle. I just wanted to know," the girl replied.

Master Liu didn't respond anymore and just nodded, the middle-aged man seemed to walk a little to the middle of the road while swinging his arms up.

Following the direction where Master Liu waved his hand, Fu Xie Lan saw a silver carriage heading towards them.

It seems that Master Liu has been looking for a horse carriage.

"Come on, Xie Lan," said the middle-aged man as the horse carriage stopped by the roadside right in front of Fu Xie Lan.

The girl simply complied, entering the carriage along with Hao who was snuggled on her shoulder.

"Ocarina," said Master Liu, mentioning the name of a place.

The ocarina is where the gate leading to the Fairy's territory resides.

"Three spirit stones, sir," replied the coachman.

"Isn't that too expensive? The last time I traveled there it cost only two spirit stones," Master Liu protested when he heard the cost of their trip.

"It costs that much, sir. If you don't have enough spirit stones, then look for another horse-drawn carriage that fits your pocket," replied the coachman.

A sigh came from the middle-aged man's lips, it wasn't that he didn't have enough spirit stones, it was just that he couldn't be extravagant just on the way home.

Looks like the coachman was right, maybe he should find a cheaper horse-drawn carriage to save his expenses.

"Kid, we should find another carriage," said Master Liu, turning to where Fu Xie Lan was.

"Is there a problem Uncle?" Fu Xie Lan asked a little confused.

"It's fine, it's just that the carriage is very expensive, and..."

"Is this enough, Uncle?" Fu Xie Lan immediately reached into her cosmic bag and took out five spirit stones.

"Master, this is our travel expenses. Is that enough?" said Fu Xie Lan again handing the spirit stone to the coachman.

Seeing the precious object in Fu Xie Lan's hand, with a quick movement, the coachman immediately grabbed it with a happy smile.

"Enough, enough. Even more than enough," replied the coachman.

"Kid, what are you doing? The trip costs only three spirite stones, how can you give him five?" asked Master Liu, he didn't know what kind of sentence could describe Xie Lan's extravagant attitude.

"Sir, shouldn't you only take three spirit stones?" protested the middle-aged man to the coachman.

"If someone gives me a lot, why should I only take a little?" replied the coachman did not want to lose.

"It's okay, Uncle. Leave it alone. After all, it's only two spirit stones," said Fu Xie Lan leaning her body lazily.

Master Liu who heard the girl's words gawked on the spot.

Only? Fu Xie Lan said 'Just?'

Those are two-spirit stones, not mana stones, how could this girl so easily give spirit stones to others?

While he's been trying to save spirit stone.
