The Biggest Flower

Rowing back to the main part of the town, Anji finally understood why the tour boats were painted a bright coat of red and lavishly decorated with many lanterns.

Hong Nian Niang's glamourous business hogged the spotlight, giving Mingshen more freedom to operate his information-gathering illegal fight club in peace.
