Chapter 783: Perhaps This Is Love

The Holy Earth Hall preserved the original architecture style from beyond the borders. Each building was constructed from stones and mud, and they were mostly square-shaped. Wooden buildings were nowhere to be seen. The people here were also dressed in a unique fashion that greatly resembled the outfits of those from Desert Sea Town. More and more, this place resembled a lost desert civilization.

During the ancient times, before the formation of the Desert of Despair, many cities existed in the region. As the desert's environment deteriorated, numerous cities were lost, and the inhabitants were forced to migrate. This caused the extinction of the civilizations in the area.

Xiang Shaoyun had arrived at this Holy Earth Hall in a completely unexpected manner. He did not know if this place was still within the Desert of Despair, but he knew that it definitely had some relations with the desert's lost civilizations.

With his head lowered, Xiang Shaoyun sang the Great Donkey Driving Technique song. He could feel the gazes of the pedestrians landing on him, and he blushed in shame. This was the first time he had ever felt so embarrassed.

A day will come when I make this old bastard drive a donkey carriage for me instead,

vowed Xiang Shaoyun inwardly. The old donkey strolled leisurely before finally stopping before a restaurant.

Xiang Shaoyun raised his head and saw a canvas hanging on the wall with the words "Golden Sand Restaurant" written on it.

Old Urchin hopped off the carriage in excitement and said, "It has been a long time since I last had any Golden Sand Liquor. I wonder if it still tastes the same."

He dashed into the restaurant like a gust of wind. Behind him, Xiang Shaoyun slowly followed. But right after he stepped into the restaurant, some noise broke out inside. Then, numerous items flew toward him.

He quickly grabbed them. At the same time, he heard a woman's voice shouting, "You old bastard, you dare come back? Get lost, or I'll slaughter you right now!"

"Stinky woman, what did I do? I had only drunk a couple jars of your liquor. Do you need to be so aggressive?" Old Urchin's voice rang out.

"I'm already patient enough to not greet you with a knife. Pay up the money you owe me for the liquor last time, or I won't let this end!" shouted the furious woman.

Her voice was akin to the roar of a lion, and even Xiang Shaoyun felt like he was turning deaf from all her shouting. When he looked over, he saw a coarse woman pointing a chair at Old Urchin as if they were mortal enemies.

On the other hand, Old Urchin looked rather sorry. His head was bruised, and a pile of broken bowls was in front of him. Evidently, Old Urchin had just gone through an intense attack.

This sight caught Xiang Shaoyun by surprise, and he could not help but laugh silently. Inwardly, he mused,

Serves you right, old bastard!

However, he still knew how terrifying the Old Urchin was. He could not understand why Old Urchin allowed the woman to do that to him.

"That reminds me! I'm here today to pay my debt! Kid, come over here and pay this stinky woman 10 mid-grade spirit crystals. Otherwise, we won't be able to drink any liquor," Old Urchin called Xiang Shaoyun over.

"Ten mid-grade spirit crystals?" Xiang Shaoyun had an odd expression.

He refused to believe just 10 mid-grade spirit crystals would stump Old Urchin. Thus, he became even more confused. He did not hesitate and handed 10 mid-grade spirit crystals to the
