Rootless City, City Lord's Palace, Council Hall.
A fat woman dressed in a Phoenix Crown and Xiapi, her body resembling a giant barrel, was sitting boldly on the City Lord's throne.
Beside her was a group of similarly shaped women, also clad in Phoenix Crowns and Xiapi, clustered around her.
"Guards! Bring up those craftsmen who were spying on us sisters!"
The woman on the throne, her jowls trembling, commanded coldly.
As soon as she finished speaking, a weak male voice sounded:
"Please, madam... just wait a moment."
The fat woman frowned slightly, looking displeased in the direction of the voice.
A middle-aged man, as thin as firewood, with a handlebar mustache, walked over supported by several guards.
"Greetings to City Lord Zhou Rulai!"
Before the fat woman could speak, the sisters beside her bowed to the man.
"Hmph! You are all sisters of mine, heavenly fairies, no need to bow to these ordinary stinky men!"
