Xunmu Cave Heaven.
A large settlement somewhere.
"Welcome the envoy."
In the periphery of the settlement, a dozen Spirit People of deep brown complexion were bowing respectfully towards a man of turquoise complexion.
The underground-dwelling Spirit People, belonging to the lower class, always bore dark complexions, while the upper-class Spirit People living atop the tree crown were turquoise. The distinction between them was clear and easily recognizable.
Typically, the upper-class Spirit People lived above in the tree crown and hardly ever descended to the underground, except to collect tributes from the various underground tribes, which usually occurred only once a year.
"How has the harvest been this year?"
The revered turquoise upper-class Spirit Person, standing hands behind his back in the middle of the field, faced the kneeling lower-class Spirit People with a naturally arrogant expression in his eyes.
