It was too splendid, almost as if a deity from the Immortal Realm had descended.
"I have urgent matters, I’lle back next time."
Hailbo was amiable, even when interacting with these prostitutes, he answered with a smile.
The prostitutes had mentioned it in passing, never expecting Hailbo to actually respond, and to do so with such a gentle and sunny smile.
"So handsome!"
"You muste visit us, little brother~~"
"..."
"This country, doesn’t seem to be anything special."
At this moment, Cat Lulu had transformed into an ordinary white kitten, perched on Hailbo’s shoulder, whispering to him, "This is way too poor, doesn’t look like a big city at all."
One would have thought that the Kingdom of Mountains, touted as a nation rich with countless gemstones and mineral veins, would be extremely wealthy, or at the very least its people would be well-fed.
Now it seemed that it wasn’t anything great, far inferior to Yatun and Coral City.
"Arge country is arge country, but not all ces within it flourish."
Hailbo pointed towards the distance, "The true prosperity is in the city center, where the rich and powerful reside. As for this ce, people probably starve to death frequently."
"That’s so sad."
In Cat Lulu’s memory, Yatun Vige was already poor enough, but this ce seemed even worse: "Don’t the people above care at all?"
"They won’t bother."
Hailbo said, leaning on his staff, "Their Miracle Citizens have already reached the limits of their capacity. These extra ordinary people are useless to them."
"That’s true, the Miracle does have the ability to discern, right."
Cat Lulu nodded in understanding: "What will they do then?"

"Life expectancy doesn’t exceed thirty or forty; one generation dies off, another takes its ce."
Hailbo described the fate of the mortals in the Kingdom of Mountains, living and dying like ants in the eyes of the Children of Miracle, so incredibly insignificant.
"I was once one of them."
But Hailbo had met Bailuo and had the fortune to enter the circle of Miracle.
To use an inappropriate metaphor, it was like going from a mortal to a registered Immortal.
Even if he could only serve Bailuo tea and water, being a lowly servant, he was still an Immortal.
"The sisters just now, they use their bodies to exchange for food, fighting with all their might just to survive."
Hailbo didn’t look down on them. Havinge from the bottom himself, he knew the hardships of life: "If one day, my lord takes over this ce, will things change?"
"Prostitutes, what are they?"
Hailbo didn’t know how to respond, he simply said, "Mostly poor people forced by their circumstances."
"Then it will surely change."
Cat Lulu held immense admiration for Bailuo, her creator, and she would always defend her creator: "Your Majesty is the best, if we, Yatun, take over this ce, everyone will live a happy life."
"Yes, indeed."
Hailbo dearly hoped for such a day, for the light of Yatun to shine upon thend.
"By the way, why didn’t Your Majesty send you as an emissary to the Mountains?"
"The Emperor of Beasts is stronger."
There were a total of eight countries in the Mountains.
The Kingdom of Mountains is the oldest, having dered independence here during the first split of the Holy Empire, with King Tongxu leading the revolt and crowning himself.
As he was the first, and since other countries joinedter, the entire alliance was named "Mountains."
Of course, King Tongxu is more like a respected elder.
But the true strongest person in the Kingdom of Mountains isn’t him.
One-on-onebat in the Mountains, proudly first!
Even though the meaning of that saying wasn’t clear, in the Mountains, even a three-year-old child would have heard it.
"We’re here."
Hailbo quietly left the city and, following the route his uncle had given him, found the entrance to Miracle Kingdom.
Each Miracle Kingdom is protected by a massive and mysterious barrier, keeping it separate from the world of the mortals.
The Emperor of Beasts does not like to govern his nation with Miracles, thus the world of the mortals is distinctly separate from the world of the Miracle Citizens.
Only someone with Miracle Power like Hailbo could discover this path to the Miracle Kingdom.
"Prepare yourself, Lulu."
"Is this really the ce? There’s nothing here at all."
"It’s a barrier."
There were only the remote woods ahead, yet Hailbo felt the Miracle Power.
"My eyes were blessed by Princess Sherry."
Pure white light faintly emanated from Hailbo’s eyes, and he saw what made this ce different: "This is definitely the right spot."
There were many entrances to the Miracle Kingdom of the Emperor of Beasts; at least ten.
However, Hailbo’s uncle had advised him to take this particr one, saying it was the safest and much easier to deal with than the others.
Even though he didn’t know the specifics, Hailbo trusted his teacher’s judgment.
"Close your eyes."
Hailbo closed his eyes, and Lulu immediately followed suit: "They’ve detected us, and shortly, the illusion will take us in."
"Rumble, rumble~~~"
Earth-shaking sounds reached the ears of man and cat, leaving them puzzled, but they followed the rules, keeping their eyes shut, not daring to open them.
Gradually, the noise faded away.
"Hmm?"
Cat Lulu first sneakily opened one eye, then her cute big eyes gradually widened: "Wow~~~"
The sky was pitch ck, with oppressive dark clouds.
They were standing on the deste peak of a mountain, with no forest behind them anymore.
The surroundings were empty, except for the sky above.
In front of them,rge pieces of rock floated, leading towards higher cliffs ahead.
"This ce, this is the Miracle Kingdom of the Emperor of Beasts?"
"It’s so big!"
Cat Lulu was astonished. This was her first time in another country.
Although she always knew that following Hailbo would lead to an extraordinary life, the suddenness of it all left her somewhat overwhelmed.
