"Yeah sure, I'd love to see that.

"

"Great!

" Ryfon grinned and looked out the carriage window.

"We're here, let's go!

" he said getting up.

Hao Xuan looked out and saw a herbal garden right in front of the carriage door. There were hundreds of all sorts of flowers, herbs, and trees he had never seen before. Many of them were swaying back and forth without any wind as if they were alive.

He stepped out with Ensis's help and a rich, scented aroma impacted his face. Instinctively Hao Xuan took in a deep breath and the cold air entered his lungs. The air passed directly through all his body and entered each of his meridians, increasing the flow of Qi throughout his body.

"What is this place?

" he asked out loud unconsciously.

Ryfon who had already walked deeper into the garden turned around and warned.

"Stay close. Wouldn't want you getting lost in here. The plants look and smell good but they will devour you whole without leaving anything behind!

"

*Shhh*

A giant pink flower on Hao Xuan's left opened up and revealed three shinning pearls in the middle. They were releasing a stupendous amount of vitality and Qi. Hao Xuan reached out by instinct but Ensis quickly stopped him.

"Master!

"

His voice woke Hao Xuan from his daze.

"Huh? What was...that?

"

Ryfon yelled from afar,

"Come on now, hurry!

"

Hao Xuan ignored all the greenery around him and followed behind Ryfon. A minute or two of walking later they neared a sidewall and Hao Xuan looked over it.

"Woah! Where the hell is this?

"

Below he could see several hundred meter tall glass structure, and they were on one of its floors. He looked up and could see the structure going up for thousands of meters more. The garden was located at just the floors of this place and from initial inspection, he could see hundreds of similar gardens in the distance, both below and above him.

Ryfon stood in front of a door not far from him and placed his hand over a sigil on the side. He looked back at Hao Xuan with a smile.

"Mr. Hao Xuan, welcome to the 'Lorem', the most popular club of the Lynn Clan!

" and as he opened the door, the sound of muffled music came from the other side, scaring many of the plants behind them.

With furrowed brows Hao Xuan walked through the door after Ryfon, and it closed behind them. A few seconds later one of the trees turned around its axis and a pair of dark brown eyes opened up on its trunk, looking at the door that Hao Xuan and Ryfon had just gone through.

***

Hao Xuan's quickly adjusted to the dimly lit room. He found himself standing on a ledge, looking down at a several hundred-meter wide room that had a giant hole in the middle from which people were occasionally flying up and down.

There were all sorts of creatures here, both human-like and entirely different ones as well. Faries and Elves were everywhere and of all kinds.

There were only red and blue lights inside, making it relatively hard to see anything in detail. To Hao Xuan, anything further than 50 meter was a blur of color and shapes right now.

"This is were your friend is?!

" he shouted at Ryfon who was standing right next to him. He nodded back.

"She owns this place. Come, let's go find her. She should be in her lab!

" he replied and started walking along the ledge to the left, where another door waited.

The ledge they were on was the highest place in the club and overlooked everything. There was a see-through barrier here that separated the ledge from the rest of the club.

When they entered the room, many curious gazes from across the dance floor and many of the private VIP areas fell on them.

"Is that the Prince Ryfon?!

"

"Yeah. But who is that next to him?

"

"I don't know. He looks like a human.

"

"Why would the prince be hanging out with a human? Does anyone recognize him?

"

"He's a prince from the main Elven clan. He can do whatever he wants, god knows what he's up to this time.

"

Similar whispers spread across the 10 stories tall club in a matter of seconds. On the 8th floor, there was a group of 12 people or so. They were also staring up at Ryfon and Hao Xuan until they went through a door and vanished from sight.

One of the guys in a black suit bent down and whispered something into the ear of a beautiful purple-haired girl that was the center of attention even now. These were, of course, Alte and Ceni and their entourage.

"I know. Did you not find who he is yet brother?

"

"Nothing yet. He just appeared out of nowhere. I can't find any trace of him,

" Alte replied with a shake of his head. A bewitching smile bloomed on Ceni's face as she bit her lower lip.

"First the Wu young master, and now a Royal Biric Prince...I could just 'die' from curiosity....Please find out where he is staying. I want to visit him.

"

***

Right now Hao Xuan was standing in an elevator with Ensis and Ryfon. It was going straight up like a rocket. About 40 seconds later it slowed down and came to a stop, and the door opened on its.

"You b*stard, why did you come to here?! The ban still has 3 years left!

" a loud, angry voice rang in their heads like thunder before they could even walk out of the elevator.

A single drop of cold sweat went down Ryfon's forehead as he tried to force a smile,

"Cornelia, come on, is this any way to treat a friend you haven't seen in so long?

"

Hao Xuan was already keeled over on the ground. It wasn't just a normal communication through Spirit sense, but an actual spiritual attack. Hao Xuan's already unstable soul felt like it was about to burst open.

"ARGH!

" he shouted as his eyes turned white and an extremely pure energy ripple spread out from his body.
