Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although it was named Bright Moon City, it was more like a small country. It took Su Binglan about ten days to understand the city’s layout. She noticed a few oases but not much land for farming. Still, the place indeed had plenty of spices.

At that moment, Su Binglan, Luo Jin’an, and Lin Zheng stood in a field near a water source. However, the people were careful not to waste a single drop while watering the crops.

“It’s autumn now, and we’ve harvested most of our crops,” Lin Zheng said, “Now we’ll plant some vegetables. I’ve supplied all the food and vegetables evenly, so people must ration them.

“We have our own set of rules, which allows the citizens to live as well as possible. Even if the caravans leave to purchase food, the palace will arrange for people to manage them.”

Su Binglan nodded. “Lin Zheng, gather some people and bring some equipment. We’ll dig a well.”

“A well?!” Lin Zheng was stunned, his mouth agape as he fell into a daze. “M-Master, can we really dig a well here? I’ve sent people to do that before, but our efforts were always in vain. After all, we’re in a desert.”

Su Binglan said, “You said Bright Moon City was once rich in water and plants long ago, right? Since that’s the case, we should be able to dig a well and even create a river channel here.”

She had secretly used her spiritual energy and sensed the presence of water. She then expanded her energy and looked deep below the ground. Indeed, she found plenty of water underneath.

However, the water remained hidden in a rocky area under the desert. If the direction of the well were even slightly off, their efforts would be pointless. Fortunately, Su Binglan could see through the rock formation.

She had also discovered my underground ruins that seem to be from ancient times, even older than this. At a glance, she could tell this place once flourished with culture.

“Is that true, Master?” Although Lin Zheng sounded like he did not trust his master, that was not the case. He was just in disbelief.

Su Binglan patted his shoulder and said, “Of course it is. All right, let’s prepare to dig a well and create a river channel. Do you see that arc over there? It looks like there used to be a river.”

She could see the shape, thinking the citizens would be excited if she could succeed in creating a river.

Soon after, Lin Zheng gathered the guards to help. Of course, the commotion alarmed the citizens.

“What happened? Why’s Lord Lin Zheng calling his guards over?”

“I heard they’re digging a well or something. Apparently, there’s water over there.”

“What?! Really?! Do my ears deceive me?”

“I don’t know, either. Even so, why else would Lord Lin Zheng need so many people?”

“Quick, let’s go and take a look, too. If they manage to dig a well, it’ll benefit our city significantly!”

“Yeah, if that’s the case, I want to see the water coming out!”

“There’s strength in numbers, right? Let’s go and see if we can help with anything.”

The citizens were united because they knew they could improve their lives only by helping each other. Therefore, everyone enthusiastically ran over to help.”

Since the citizens had dug wells before, they were well-equipped to dig more. Soon, Su Binglan led everyone in digging.

Lin Zheng said, “Everyone, do as my master says.”

The people had to take turns digging and resting because of how deep the water was. Everyone worked for three whole days. That evening, a loud bang startled everyone. Immediately after, a rapid current of water gushed out from below the surface.

Su Binglan discreetly gathered her spiritual energy in her hand and guided the water toward the dried-up river bank. If she had not done that, the water would have overflowed and drowned the surrounding villages.

“Wow! There’s so much water!”

“We did it, everyone! Look how much water there is!”

“Who would’ve thought that we had water right here?!”

“It’s unbelievable! Quick, pinch me so that I know I’m not dreaming.”

“The sound of water is like music to my ears.”

Everyone yelled and jumped in excitement. Meanwhile, Lin Zheng was so amazed that he struggled to return to his senses. A while later, he rubbed his eyes and said, “What a rapid current. There must be enough to form a river, right?”

Everyone was screaming, jumping, and talking excitedly.

Su Binglan said firmly, “Of course, it will. There used to be a moat in this place. It just disappeared long ago because the earth’s crust shifted. That’s how Bright Moon City came to be.”

Lin Zheng felt enlightened. “If that’s the case, there must be ruins underground. Is that how Bright Moon City formed?”

“Yeah, but it must’ve happened long ago. This place must’ve been bustling with activities back in the day.” Su Binglan could tell just by looking at the historical sites underground.

However, Lin Zheng could not imagine what Bright Moon City was like back then.

Soon, the water formed a river. Although it was relatively small, Su Binglan believed it would grow as more water seeped out. Now that the city had access to ample water, the citizens could expand their harvests.

Su Binglan thought it would be great if she could somehow find grapes nearby. With that thought in mind, grapes suddenly appeared in her pocket dimension.

She was stunned when she sensed the grapes. She discreetly plucked some from her pocket dimension and held them.

“What are those, Master?” Lin Zheng was shocked.

“These are fruits that are called grapes. They’re suitable for growing in places like Bright Moon City. We can teach the citizens how to plant them in large areas. When the time comes, you can even open a grape winery.”

Although Lin Zheng had never seen grapes before, he knew they must be beneficial. “You’re amazing, Master.”

Su Binglan said, “It’s nothing. Nonetheless, you’ll have a lot of work ahead of you in leading the citizens to fix the river channel. Let’s also give everyone a taste of these grapes. They must be exhausted after working for three days straight.”

Soon after, Lin Zheng tasked his guards to bring the grapes to everyone. The citizens were excited when they ate such sweet fruits.

“Mmm! These are delicious!”

“They’re pretty juicy, too!”

“Is Lord Lin Zheng’s master from another world or something?”

“She doesn’t look like an ordinary person, does she? She might actually be a guardian angel.”

“You might be right. Did you see how she conjured these grapes?”

“She also knew about the moat under the city. I’m so excited now that we have water.”
