Two years passed.
Tian Dou City was one of the cities within the Heaven Dou Empire. This city can also be said to be the Imperial Capital of the Heaven Dou Empire because this is where the imperial buildings stand and various economic centers and others stand here.
In the streets of Tian Dou City, we can see a boy with the appearance of long blue hair that is tied back, skin as white as snow, well-groomed eyebrows, long eyelashes, a well-formed body, and height of a child at his age. 8 years. The boy is wearing black underwear that is usually used for sports which are lined with a white kimono with a beautiful blue pattern, wearing blue boots, and wearing an earring on his right ear.
The boy was Shirou who was already 8 years old. It's been more than 2 years since Shirou has been in this Douluo Dalu world and finally starting today he begins his adventure after he feels that his current strength is at least enough to protect him now.
"Finally arrived at Tian Dou City," Shirou said with an emotional tone because previously he had flown from home to this Tian Dou City for more than 7 hours after he prepared himself for his departure on an adventure in the Douluo world a long time ago.
"Meow~" From behind the white kimono Shirou was wearing, we could see a very beautiful white cat trying to poke its head out curiously to see Tian Dou City which was the Imperial Capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Hmm~ Are you interested in seeing this Tian Dou City too, Lily?" Shirou asked softly while stroking the head of the white cat who was called by the name Lily.
"Meow~" Lily nodded and her eyes turned to different directions of Tian Dou City.
"Since it's the first time the two of us have come to Tian Dou City, how about we take a walk and have a look around the city, Lily? At the same time, the two of us are looking for the Tian Dou Bank to keep some money in there." Shirou said casually.
"Meow? ~" Lily asked curiously about the Tian Dou Bank that Shirou had told her.
"Tian Dou Bank is a place for humans to put their money there or it can be said that they keep money there. There are some facilities or locations to enter the location at least have a Tian Dou Bankcard, such as the auction house and some restaurants. For the auction house, if you want to enter the auction house or order a VIP room in various restaurants or other places of business. One must have at least a yellow Tian Dou Bankcard to be able to get the service."
"Meow~"
Shirou rubbed gently at Lily and said, "Don't worry, my current wealth is 100,000 gold coins. My current money is at least enough to get a purple Tian Dou Bankcard. However, it's better if we just make the yellow one, because that's enough for both of us to use for now."
"Meow~" Lily nodded excitedly after hearing Shirou's words.
"Okok~ But, remember. You have to stay in my clothes. Don't go out, neither of us is in the woods now. We're both in human territory and this is the focal point. If you get out, chances are you will be the target of many people. Do you understand, Lily?" Shirou asked in a serious tone.
"Meow" Lily nodded seriously.
"Okok~ Then let's go for a walk and look for Tian Dou Bank first," Shirou said and started walking around looking around Tian Dou City together with Lily.
Lily is a soul beast species that is very step up from the Snow Cat breed. Lily is a soul beast that has a lifespan of 450 years, but Lily's strength is not at the 450-year soul beast level but the 1000 year level because Shirou himself often gives himself Cultivation enhancing pills that increase his strength very quickly significantly which is often given one once a week .. Lily herself has white fur that is very soft and beautiful, and her body has a size of 10 centimeters. This caused Lily to hide behind Shirou's kimono.
The scarcity of soul beasts like Lily is because they are hunted a lot. After all, they want to be pets, especially with the level of beauty they have. The relationship between Lily and Shirou himself when they first met was not very good because Lily still held a grudge against humans. After all, when Shirou found Lily, Shirou found a lot of wounds all over Lily's body thanks to sharp weapons.
When Lily saw Shirou for the first time, Lily was very hostile towards Shirou. However, when she finds out that she has been cared for by Shirou and Shirou also gave her a home, slowly their relationship becomes very close until Lily herself is very difficult to separate from Shirou because she will always follow Shirou wherever Shirou goes except when Shirou will training, Shirou would place Lily as far away as possible so that Lily would not receive the impact of Shirou's training.
Lily herself also has a fairly high natural intelligence, knowing that, she didn't push herself and chose to stay away from the location where Shirou was training. Especially after he saw Shirou's soul ring and power. Lily herself was not afraid, but she was very happy because, with Shirou by her side, she would never be afraid of being hunted by humans again. Because of that, Lily was very grateful to Shirou.

Tian Dou City, Tian Dou Bank
Shirou who had finished taking Lily for a walk-in Tian Dou City immediately went to Tian Dou Bank to take care of the two of them. Arriving inside the Tian Dou Bank, one of the female employees saw Shirou's arrival and immediately walked over and said softly, "Welcome to Tian Dou Bank, is there anything we can help you with?"
Shirou nodded and said, "I want to make a Tian Dou Bank card"
"If you may, sir. How much money do you want to save in our bank?" The employee asked once more.
Shirou raised his eyebrows as he asked, "Is there a difference if I save a small amount and a large amount?"
The employee nodded and said, "Yes, sir. In Tian Dou Bank, there are five floors, each floor consisting of different services. For the first floor dealing with the Tian Dou Bankcard which has a white color, this card has a total deposit of under 10,000 gold soul coins. The second floor was for someone who would take care of the Tian Dou Bankcard which had a yellow color, this card had a total deposit of under 100,000 gold soul coins. The third floor is for people who will take care of the Tian Dou Bankcard which has a purple color, this card has a total deposit of under 1,000,000 gold soul coins. On the fourth floor for someone who would take care of the black Tian Dou Bankcard, this card had a total deposit of over 1,000,000 gold soul coins. And finally, the fifth floor is only for nobles and big clans. On this floor to take care of a red Tian Dou Bank card with a total deposit of more than 1,000,000 gold soul coins"
The employee once again looked at Shirou, "So sir. How much money will Master save in this Tian Dou Bank in total?"
"Before I answer, What benefits do I get for having a Tian Dou Bank card of a higher standard?" Shirou asked curiously. Even if he knew about it, Shirou would rather get more information related to various things.
"The higher the card you have, the more perks you can get. For example, if you have a white Tian Dou Bankcard, you don't have the qualifications to enter the Lord Dou auction house or perhaps book a VIP room in various restaurants. Because of the conditions to do that, at least Master must have a Tian Dou Bank card at least yellow to be able to get this facility."
"In that case, this Tian Dou Bank yellow card is the minimum requirement, right?" Shirou asked once again for confirmation.
The employee nodded and said, "Right, sir. So, has Master decided which Tian Dou Bankcard to use?"
"Yes. I want to take care of the yellow Tian Dou Bankcard." Shirou said casually.
"Well. Then, please come with me." The female employee said as she turned around and started walking.
Shirou immediately followed the employee to the second floor. Arriving on the second floor, the employee took Shirou into a room measuring 25 meters with various luxurious furniture in it, besides that there were also various items that Shirou himself didn't know about at all. Shirou immediately went to sit on the sofa while the employee took the various items needed to calculate the money Shirou would save.
It didn't take long for the employee to return with a money counter and an empty box leading him to Shirou and saying, "Please sir, put the money in this box."
Shirou nodded and waved his hand. Instantly several gold soul coins went straight into the empty box below the female employee. The female employee immediately brought the box containing several gold coins closer to the device she was under and started counting Shirou's gold soul coins quickly.
" Hmm~ Very effective. I did not expect that this era has tools like this. It looks like this tool was made in Gengxin City which is very famous for its blacksmith association. Maybe I can take the time to come there. Moreover, I also want to have a weapon design that I want to make" Shirou thought.
"Meow~" Shirou's thoughts were cut off with a soft voice emitted by Lily.
Lily's head slowly popped out from under Shirou's clothes and looked at the female employee who was counting Shirou's money.
"Meow~"
Shirou turned his attention to Lily and asked, "Are you interested in that, Lily?"
Lily shook her head and said, "Meow~"
"Are you hungry?" Shirou asked once again.
"Meow~" Lily nodded.
Shirou stroked Lily's head and said "Okok~ After we finish taking care of this, the two of us will go find a restaurant"
"Meow~"
Shirou shook his head and said, "No. Both of us should find a new atmosphere. I'm a little interested in the food in Tian Dou City."
"Meow~" Lily nodded and got back into Shirou's clothes and started to lie comfortably there waiting for Shirou to finish taking care of his business at this Tian Dou Bank.
