Chapter 142 Book 4 Troublesome Situation

The sun bathed Xian Town in a golden glow, its streets alive with the bustling of merchants, the hum of conversation, and the occasional laughter of children. Neatly paved roads lined with orderly shops, flickering lanterns hanging from the eaves, and the faint scent of freshly baked bread in the air painted a picture of a town that seemed untouched by hardship.

Alu walked beside her mother, Jin Xiemeng, gently supporting her as they moved through the streets. The older woman's eyes darted around, unable to reconcile the world she had known with the one before her.

"This town… It's like a dream," Jin Xiemeng murmured, her voice thick with disbelief. "Such cleanliness, such abundance… How?"

Alu smiled softly. "The princess and her mother built this place. They changed the lives of everyone who came here. And now, we have a chance to live as well."
