At this moment, Jade City’s lights were translucent, dazzling like a pearl on the vast grassy wasteland, and the Sanggan River, shimmering with the spring floods, had submerged the beaches. Clumps of reeds frequently rustled as snow-white herons and egrets took flight, while the chants of fishermen echoed over the river, sung by the river hippo poets praising life.
The fountain in the Statue’s bud tray had already sprayed tens of meters high, at the top of the water column, Night Pearls and duckweed tumbled, casting a clear radiance over Red Earth Square’s earth spires adorned with Thousand-leaf Nymphaea and vines. Like the entirety of Red Earth Highland, Jade City was now engulfed and surrounded in greenery, dotted with the beauty of Thousand-color Morning Glories, alongside regrown bamboo forests that linked the greenery to the meadows of the Donau Wasteland.
Scaffolding made of bamboo had built tower upon tower around the verdant Jade City, each tower adorned with strings of halo lamps diffusing a hazy, dreamy, and poetic glow.
"It’s so beautiful!" Prince Moore, and a group of Blood Elf Mages, gawked like bumpkins, shrinking back as they took in the breathtaking sights before them, the prince felt this sight of Jade City was a hundred times more beautiful than the last.
"What are these lamps made of?" Before Lord Overlord could offer his modesty, Prince Moore, caressing the vine-entwined earth spires with dangling lamps, asked in wonder, as both the pavilions and earth spires here were adorned with such long lanterns that cast a dreamlike glow.

"Ostrich eggs," Dennis chuckled, "Salted eggs from last year. We poked holes in them after eating, stuffed fireflies inside, and strung them up with rope—now they are eternal night lamps."
Prince Moore said no more, as he could no longer find the words to describe the beauty of this place.
All of Jade City had laid out a banquet beneath Red Earth Highland, respectfully welcoming the return of Lord Overlord, the thousands of people standing in rows, impressed even the well-versed Prince Moore.
Andulan elder, with a face full of smiles, accompanied the swan High Priest Lord Mourinho and a group of elegantly dressed Beamon nobles, approaching the Overlord.
Penguin butler Jabbar, with his head held high proudly, took the most solemn steps as he draped a Star Robe over Lord Overlord.
A group of strong Taige warriors caught Dennis’s attention; these four Tiger Men warriors boasted powerful and agile physiques around three meters tall, their mannerisms exuding fierceness, fully clad in exquisite mithril mesh armor, and bearing golden banner spears with twelve blades each marked with the ancient Beamon words for "warrior" in blood red, striking in appearance. What was particularly notable was that these Taige warriors also had a pair of folded tiger-striped flesh wings under their back ribs, and two sharp canine fangs at the corners of their lips, resembling daggers.
"Damn your grandma, Biao people warriors." Dennis cursed under his breath, realizing today’s envoy, Brut, must be held in extraordinary regard.
"Three tigers beget a Biao," where only among Taige Clan triplets could a Biao people warrior possibly emerge, making them the mightiest warriors of the Taige Clan. Considering the reproductive capabilities of the Taige Clan, the occurrence of Biao people warriors was even rarer compared to that of the Mastiff People warriors of the Doug Tribe, who might emerge from a set of nine dog-headed warriors.
"Adding wings to a tiger"—this phrase seemed custom-made for them. Though not originating from the Bode Clan, no one could deny that the most formidable warriors in the skies were they, capable of flying armored with heavy gear, with no other warriors but the Biao people equal to them.
From their teeth, it could be seen that these four Biao people warriors were likely from the most formidable Saber-toothed family within the Taige Clan, leaving Dennis wondering what act was unfolding today.
"I’ve been waiting for you for so long, my dear Richard, our little prince among the Beamon War Shamans." A pale-skinned, handsome Taige War Shaman warmly spread his arms towards Dennis: "I am the envoy of the High Priest, Taige Clan War Shaman Dennis, from Bog Camp."
Unlike the dark "King" character tattoo between the brows of the Biao people warriors, this regal, snow-white clad Tiger Man War Shaman displayed a black "Tang" character tattoo between his eyebrows.
"Welcome to Jade City, the most outstanding painter among our Beamons." Dennis also warmly opened his arms.
