Chapter 2726

Yan Aohan also caught the scent of chestnuts. She looked at Zhu Yanyi with a gentle smile, walked over, and bought a bag.

The rest of the journey went smoothly. No one else came out to bother them.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan walked slowly. Along the way, they saw the Fire Emperor and Fire Empress standing in line at a flatbread shop.

The Fire Emperor noticed Yan Aohan and smiled. "Want to come taste some?"

"Is this flatbread good?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously. Seeing the long line, it seemed popular.

"We only joined the line because there were so many people, but I heard it’s very good," the Fire Emperor said.

Zhu Yanyi smiled and looked at Yan Aohan. "Then you two can buy two for us."

The Fire Emperor agreed with a nod.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan went to find a seat nearby. Soon, the Fire Emperor and Fire Empress arrived.

Looking at the flatbreads in their hands, Zhu Yanyi paused. "Did you buy too many?"

Indeed, the Fire Emperor held at least five or six, and the Fire Empress held another five or six.

The Fire Empress laughed. "There are many flavors here—meat and vegetable. So I bought one of each."

The Fire Emperor took out a dagger and cut each flatbread into several pieces so everyone could try them.

Zhu Yanyi took a piece and took a bite. "This tastes like fruit jam."

She then took out several bottles of Meng Po's soup, which had no labels. They ate, drank, chatted, and laughed together. It was a rare moment of leisure.

"I haven’t seen the Black Emperor and the others," the Fire Empress noted.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "No rush. If they wanted to find us, it would be easy. Since they haven’t, they must be enjoying themselves."

"True," the Fire Empress said seriously.

"This Seven-Color City isn’t very big, but it’s quite nice. I can see formations used in its layout," Zhu Yanyi said. She had already studied these formations, which is why she said this.

Yan Aohan added, "The Seven-Color City is indeed unique. But I feel its location is a bit strange."

On the way here, Yan Aohan had noticed this from the sky. He hadn’t said anything then, but now, sensing the weak spiritual energy, he felt it might be related to the city.

"Let the Black Emperor worry about that," the Fire Emperor laughed. "We won’t bother with his matters."

Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "You’re right. Let the Black Emperor worry. We should just enjoy ourselves."

"Bad news! Someone is about to die!" A sudden voice cut through the noisy street.

The bustling street fell silent instantly. Zhu Yanyi and the others exchanged glances but did not go to see the commotion. Instead, they scanned the area with their spiritual sense. They found that someone was indeed in danger, but not yet dead. A person was standing on the city wall, looking as if they were about to jump.

"I’ve seen people jump from buildings or into rivers, but never from a city wall. Should we go watch?" the Fire Emperor suggested.

Yan Aohan glanced at him. "He won’t die here. He will die in an accident three days from now."

The Fire Emperor raised an eyebrow. Yan Aohan knew best about life and death. If he said so, the man would not jump.

"He’s destined not to die, yet he comes here. He must be doing it for fun," the Fire Empress sneered. "I dislike people who try to die so easily."

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "People are like that. Some think death solves everything. They don’t realize that such karma falls on their descendants or their next life. It never ends. Those who use death to escape are the most despised."

"Exactly," the Fire Empress agreed. "By the way, Empress Yan, have you seen such suicides in the Underworld?"

"Many. They are sent to the City of Wrongful Death," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.

"They come here before their lifespan ends. If it were an accident, it would be fine. They could at least work as temporary staff to pass the remaining time. But suicide? It unnecessarily increases our workers’ burden. So, they are thrown into the City of Wrongful Death. Once their lifespan ends, they are sent directly to the Reincarnation Pool."

The Fire Empress listened. "Your Underworld sounds fun. When will you invite us to visit?"

Zhu Yanyi glanced at her. "If you want to visit, would I drive you away? We have many snacks in the Underworld, made for souls. But if you want to eat them, you can. You don’t need to worry about being harmed by yin energy."

The Fire Empress nodded. After becoming an Emperor, the only benefit was not worrying about food harming them.

"I’ll travel there when I have time," the Fire Empress decided immediately.

"I find that one day, for the sake of food, you’ll have strange ideas. Just don’t sell me off for those strange ideas," the Fire Emperor teased.

The Fire Empress made a face. "I couldn’t bear to sell you."

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan smiled at this.

As Yan Aohan had predicted, after some persuasion, the man gave up the idea of jumping and came down.

Zhu Yanyi and the Fire Empress, knowing the outcome, lost interest. They just continued eating their flatbreads.

"I think this flatbread tastes good. Should we buy some to take back for the Black Emperor and the others?" Zhu Yanyi asked Yan Aohan.

"No need," Yan Aohan said. "They are already here."

Sure enough, the Black Emperor and Empress, along with the Immortal Emperor and Empress, arrived together. Seeing the four of them, the Black Emperor laughed. "It’s a coincidence that all four of you are here."

"We are eating flatbread," Zhu Yanyi said, holding up a piece.

The Immortal Empress came over, took a bite, and nodded. "It tastes good. We can buy some and continue eating."

So, the Black Emperor was sent to buy flatbreads as soon as he arrived.

Their seating area was large enough for eight people to sit around one table.

"This flavor is indeed good," the Immortal Empress nodded.

Seeing their wives liked it, the Emperors continued eating too. Fortunately, they had plenty to talk about.

"This Seven-Family Trade Fair seems nice. I see many weapon refiners and medicine makers ahead," the Immortal Emperor said.

Zhu Yanyi asked curiously, "Medicine makers? How is their medicine?"

"We didn’t buy any, so I don’t know," the Immortal Emperor said. She then looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Do you want to set up a stall to sell medicine?"

"I don’t lack money. Why would I sell medicine for no reason?" Zhu Yanyi shrugged. She rarely sold her medicine anymore.
