The ride towards the Shi domains was unlike our bored gamer's walk to the gates. It was not uneventful nor was it lonely in the least.

The roads were pretty much packed with people and the myriad artistic lanterns gave colors to the otherwise inky dark night.

​​

If one did not know any better then he would easily mistake this event for a city wide festival. Alas, one would assume that and he would be dead wrong to have such thoughts.

In truth, this was merely a show of the tacit cooperation amongst the clans nearby. Almost everyone was quite adamant to please the newly arisen power in Aurora.

This was of course none other than our bored gamer inside a very luxurious carriage.

The trip towards the Shi Family would have only taken 5 minutes tops but with how enthusiastic everyone was, the time of arrival was expected to happen in no less than 30 minutes tonight.

"Master Clark!"

"Master Clark!"

"Master Clark!"

"Welcome to the city of Aurora, Master Clark!"

"Our humble place is lucky to have you, Master!" A chorus of shouts rang in the scene and they were content in having no answer from the silent but tumultuous means of transport.

"Father! Father!" A kid called his pops from the side. This young one was an extremely curious soul and this trait was very natural to children his age.

"Yes. What's the matter, my son?" A noble middle aged man answered yet his eyes never left the important car in their midst.

The vehicle was gently passing by and the big horses strode in a slow trot. These beautiful beasts of burden appeared to love the attention that it was getting.

"Why is that cart bouncing that way, Father?" The cute fat boy asked in a voice filled with innocence.

The strong violent motions on the vehicle was pretty strange amidst the gentle walk of these tall horses.

In the eyes of this young child, these topsy-turvy actions were truly unnatural at this time. It was way too wild and disorderly to his immature mind.

"That is because..." The father of the kid tried to make a hasty lie on the spot. Alas, he took a few breaths to pause on at least a believable white lie for his boy.

"A masterpiece like this carriage can sometimes do erratic movements like this one, my son."

"You may think that it would give an uncomfortable ride inside but the reality of the situation is far from that.

I believe that Master Clark is experiencing one of the greatest rides in his life right now." The father of the child replied with an awkward smile on his face.

It was a simple task for a cultivator like him to notice what was happening inside this rich carriage.

Their five senses were already far beyond super human and as such, the majority of the cultivators could easily discern soft mewls and moans inside the vehicle.

"I see now. Thank you, Father." The boy nodded and was happy to get his question finally answered.

Two dozen years from now, he would experience the same thing and remember this exact date as he would make love to the apple of his eyes inside one of his very own expensive carriage.

Fortunately enough, this memory would only bring a lot of happy thoughts to this young boy who would soon explore this vast dangerous world on his own.

Thirty three minutes later and the extravagant parade ended in a residence that was completely decorated from the gate down to its most humble footpaths.

Although this clan was more modest in comparison to the Han Family but what it lacked in material possessions, it augmented in other things.

They have a people that were quite united in their task tonight. This fact was pretty much desirable no matter where one went.

And indeed, our bored gamer was rather happy to see this thing from the people of Shi.

It did not matter that it was a mere facade though since Clark was definitely not a judgmental person. Not in the least indeed.

"Your presence honors my family, Master Clark. Thank you for coming." The first one to greet our good gamer was not one of the old fogies and elders of the clan.

It was instead a lovely woman in red. This was of course none other than Shi Ling. It was within Clark's calculation in fact.

But did this not mean that he was not happy to see his woman in this night's affair. Shi Ling was perhaps the only reason why he was here in the first place.

"It is my pleasure to be here, Lady Shi Ling." Our avid gamer smiled and walked towards the sexy figure in his front.

A pair of bloody robes matched in unison but this did not hurt the eyes of the audience at all. It has instead only highlighted the main protagonists of the eve.

"PAK!"

"PAK!"

"PAK!" A lively drumbeat struck thrice and then the archaic music and melody adorned the ambiance of the place into the beginnings of an epic celebration.

The same congratulations and empty talks happened next. Then came the dances, food and liquor was shared in the spirit of love and friendship.

Our bored gamer could see the same faces that he saw last night but this time, the setting was much pretty lax and comfortable compared to the vision of death that he had visited unto a hapless clan yesterday.

The birthday feast ended near midnight and it was at this time that one of the most awaited parts of this party was consummated in full at the ending.

"Stay for the night." This was Shi Ling's last words for our good gamer before she left gracefully from the main table.

She was very accommodating throughout the party and has filled our bored gamer with lots of details about this city.

To that, Clark could only thank this gorgeous daughter of Eve.

"I guess that I will get to have yet another unforgettable experience later on." Clark smiled as he took another cup of strong wine and drank it dry in one pull.
