The Dragon Boat Festival that Jiri Carl and Murong Qianqian spoke of was indeed unusually grand.

On the fifth day of the fifth month, just as the first glimmer of light appeared in the sky, the entire Nanjing City was completely immersed in the joys of the festival. Almost every household had hung a dragon head lantern.

Although this was the first time Ye Guhsing and the others came to Jinling City, they understood the origins of this festival through Jiri Carl's uncle's introduction.

Compared to the Star-moon City, the entire city was only a little smaller. Although it was a little smaller, the entire view of the Jinling City was still better than that of Xing Yue.

As the capital city of the former dynasty, Jinling City had an extra tinge of elegance and solemnity to it. The large imperial palace of the former dynasty was located in the center of the city, and to the east of the palace was a huge lake, named Xuanwu Lake. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Xuanwu Lake would hold an extremely grand Dragon Boat Competition, and the victor would receive a special reward from the official of Jin'ling.

Jin Ling's name came from the saying "buried gold", which meant that the Middle Tomb was a mausoleum. Legend has it that in the ancient times, there was an extremely powerful nation in the Mystic Moon Continent. The founding emperor of this nation had buried a large amount of gold in Jinling City and used this gold to suppress the emperor's aura. Hence the name Jinling.

According to the ancient records, the Dragon Boat Festival had been passed down for at least ten thousand years. Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, before Jinling City was even established, there were hundreds of tribes scattered all around Jinling. Even though there were many tribes, there had never been a bloodshed. Everyone was currently living a happy life around the Xuanwu Lake within Nanjing.

One day, an unexpected guest came to the quiet Xuanwu Lake. It was an incomparably huge monster. Not only was this monster extremely ferocious, it also frequently attacked the fishermen who were driving the boat to fish in the lake.

Over time, countless tribes that lived near the Xuanwu Lake were destroyed. In the end, the leaders of the remaining few large tribes gathered together and decided to dispatch the strongest warriors from their clans into the Xuanwu Lake to kill that ferocious beast.

However, the monsters were too powerful. Even the most powerful warriors of each tribe died to the monsters' sharp claws in the end.

Just when everyone felt despair, the Savior appeared. A warrior who had been wandering outside for many years came back. This warrior carried an extremely sharp axe on his back. He rode a divine beast that was several meters long and had four sharp claws beneath his belly.

With the help of the Divine Beast, the war between the warrior and the beast lasted for seven days and seven nights." With the help of the Divine Beast, the battle between the warrior and the monster lasted for seven days and seven nights.

Sooner or later, this egg would become a different type of beast, and the only way for it to do this was to create a large number of boats based on the appearance of a God Beast. Every year, during the fifth day of the fifth month, these boats would all be placed on top of the Xuanwu Lake, and only then would the monster that was about to hatch at the bottom of the lake be frightened, not daring to break out of its shell.

When Ye Guhsing first heard of this legend, he scoffed at it in his heart. Such a legend on Earth in his previous life, he had practically heard of it since childhood. Young Master, I'm not stupid. Such a legend can only be listened to as a story, and not a true one at all.

But when Ye Guhsing brought Murong Qianqian and the others to the side of the great Xuanwu Lake, he was instantly stunned. The strong Strength Of Soul made him feel that there was something under this calm Xuanwu Lake. Moreover, this thing's vitality was extremely strong, at least it was not inferior to those in the Venerable Stage.

"Could it be that a monster really laid an egg under the Xuanwu Lake?" Ye Guhsing secretly thought in his heart.

"Young master, what's wrong?" Seeing the shocked expression on Ye Guhsing's face, Fann Hai, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle Hai, did you notice anything under the Xuanwu Lake?" Ye Guhsing said with a sound transmission.

"Something is here!" The expression on Fann Hai's face faltered for a moment, and then, he used his powerful soul perception to seep into the lake. A moment later, Fann Hai's face revealed the same shocked expression that Ye Guhsing had.

"That's right, there is indeed something here. Furthermore, its vitality is extremely strong. Even compared to you and me, it is in no way inferior." Fann Hai transmitted.

"How about it, Uncle Hai? Are you interested in going down there to see what it is? Maybe Uncle Hai you would even be able to get a War Pet because of it?" Ye Guhsing said with a faint smile.

"Haha, this old servant does not dare disobey Young Noble's invitation, but now that there are so many people gathering at Xuanwu Lake, I'm afraid going down into the lake like this would cause a commotion." Fann Hai laughed and transmitted.

"Who said that we would go down at this time? At night. At night, the people here will probably disperse. At that time, we will go down and investigate."

"Alright, let's do as Young Master says. We'll act again tonight." Fann Hai transmitted. Other than the two of them, even Jiri Carl and Murong Qianqian who were standing beside Ye Guhsing could not hear their conversation.

The biggest attraction of the Dragon Boat Festival was the Dragon Boat Competition. Every year, on the fifth day of May, at the third hour of the afternoon, the Xuanwu Lake of Jinling City would hold an extremely spectacular Dragon Boat Competition. The final victor of the finals would receive a large prize as well as a medal of honor from the Star-Moon Empire.

In the end, ten gigantic dragon boats that were like divine dragon s swiftly came out. Each dragon boat was arranged with forty-one strong and sturdy men, and a strong man stood on the bow of the ship. Each of his hands held a drumstick as he used his strength to hammer the beast skin drum beside him. The other forty men were sitting on the dragon boat in two rows. In their hands was a piece of wood pulp that weighed several dozens of kilograms. The wood pulp continuously slid across the water surface, bringing the boat with it.

The moment the dragon boat appeared, the entire atmosphere of the Xuanwu Lake immediately exploded. Especially the two girls, Jiri Carl and Murong Qianqian who were standing beside Ye Guhsing, who were no longer as ladylike as before, instead were roaring with all their might, cheering for their beloved dragon boat.

With the encouragement of the spectators on the shore, the men on the dragon boat slid the wood pulp in their hands with even more vigor. In that instant, the ten dragon boats of different colors really did look like divine dragon s as they sped through the water.

Seeing the two girls beside him act so crazily, Ye Guhsing laughed bitterly and shook his head. Actually, he also knew that Murong Qianqian and Jiri Carl were both born in super families, and the rules of their family only allowed the two of them to suppress their own personalities. Now that they had concealed their identities and followed Ye Guhsing out for fun, coupled with the shocking scene of the Dragon Boat competition, how could the two girls not act presumptuously to their heart's content?

After a full ten minutes, the ten dragon boats each displayed their own glory. Finally, these ten dragon boats arrived at the start of the Dragon Boat Competition in an extremely orderly manner.

Following the order given by an official, the ten dragon boats sped across the surface of the lake like flying swords. The gongs, drums, and cheers, the shouts and shouts of the sturdy men who were paddling wood pulp quickly merged together, and the entire Xuanwu Lake reached its peak in an instant.1

"Quick, quick, use all your strength to surpass them, surpass them!" Jiri Carl, who was standing beside Ye Guhsing, clenched her fists and shouted. His current appearance did not even have a hint of a lady's image.

If the gentle Jiri Carl had already become like this, then forget about the fiery Murong Qianqian, at this moment, not only was Murong Qianqian trying her best to cheer them on, she could not even hold back and scolded them loudly, "Hey, haven't you eaten? There's not even enough wood pulp in the few kilograms of food, I don't know how you guys were chosen, but you're really blind. "Smash him, smash him, smash him with force …"

Hearing the two women's shouts, Ye Guhsing couldn't help but roll his eyes and mutter in his heart: "Is there really a need? It's just a competition, and is not related to either of your two families. It's not like there's any benefit in winning or losing. "

Although he thought that in his heart, Ye Guhsing did not dare to say these words, otherwise, if the two girls were to lose, Ye Guhsing would be the first one to suffer.

It was unknown whether it was due to the two women's bad luck or their poor eyesight, but in the end, the supporting groups of Murong Qianqian and Jiri Carl were actually tied at the bottom. This made Ye Guhsing, who was standing beside them, burst out laughing in his heart, and the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch.

"What are you laughing at? What's so great about it? Isn't it just a loss?" Seeing the muscles on Ye Guhsing's face twitch, Murong Qianqian said angrily.

"No, no, who laughed, I was just doing facial muscles. Alright, the Dragon Boat Competition is over. Let's return to the inn. Let's go back and have a rest. I'll bring you guys to a fun place tonight. " Seeing Murong Qianqian pointing the spear at him, Ye Guhsing immediately changed the topic and said.

"A fun place? Isn't this the first time you've been to Jinling City? " The change in topic had an effect, Murong Qianqian who wanted to teach Ye Guhsing a lesson previously was immediately attracted by his words.

"The will not leak out. You will know when the time comes, and you will be satisfied!" Ye Guhsing said with a mysterious smile. After he finished speaking, he pulled Murong Qianqian and Jiri Carl's small hands and squeezed through the crowd, slowly walking in the direction of Navy Tide Residence.
