Chapter 218: Slaughter City_1
"And what about you?" Chu Qin frowned.
"Just as I thought, you womanizing carrot. Not even Mei Auntie is spared!" Qian Renxue pouted.
"Xue’er, you’re deceiving me!"
...
Three days later, at the Azure Dragon Academy.
"Slaughter City?"
Upon hearing that Chu Qin planned to go to Slaughter City, all the girls were shocked.
"Chu Qin, how could you think of going to Slaughter City?" Liu Erlong’s brows furrowed, "That’s a place with no return!"
"Consider it a kind of trial," Chu Qin said with a slight smile.
"Have you really made up your mind?" Xiaowu asked worriedly.
"Yes!" Chu Qin nodded. "I will probably set off tomorrow, and the trip will take about a month!"
"I want to go with you!" Ning Rongrong immediately said.
"Ning Rongrong, you can’t go!" Before Chu Qin could speak, Tang Yuehua said, "In Slaughter City, soul skills can’t be used. Chu Qin himself will be in danger, and if you go, you would only cause trouble for him!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately felt somewhat unhappy. But indeed, she had no way to go.
"Then Chu Qin, I can go, right?" Xiaowu asked. "Soul skills can’t be used, and my Soft Technique could come in handy!"
"Xiaowu, Slaughter City is not a place to mess around!" Chu Qin responded.
"No worries, I’ll protect Xiaowu," said Zi Ji.
"Zi Ji, you want to go too?" Chu Qin asked in slight puzzlement.
"I am a twenty-thousand-year-old ferocious beast!" Zi Ji said with a proud smile. "In a place where soul skills can’t be used, even Qian Renxue’s grandpa may not be a match for me!"
"Okay then!" Chu Qin nodded.
Indeed, with Zi Ji accompanying him, his journey would be smoother!
"Xiaowu, then you don’t have to go," Chu Qin said with a smile.
"No, I’m going!" Xiaowu immediately wrapped her arms around Chu Qin’s arm, then whispered in his ear, "If you don’t let me go, I’ll wear black stockings every day and go out to flirt with men on the streets!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qin’s expression froze for a moment, and he conceded, "Alright then, Xiaowu, you can go!"
"I’m going too!" Mei Wu You Ji said in unison.
"You Ji, Aunt Mei Wu, you can’t go!" Chu Qin replied, "Although you are soul beasts, this Azure Dragon Academy likewise needs your protection. If I’m not here, I’m entrusting their safety entirely to you!"
"Okay then!" Mei Wu was the first to reply.
"I obey my master!" You Ji replied.
"Then it’s settled, it’ll just be me, Xiaowu, and Zi Ji going!" Chu Qin nodded, finalizing the decision.
"And me!" Just then, a light and lively voice rang out. The crowd turned towards the source of the voice, only to see Wang Qiu’er, clad in Golden Armor, walking toward them.
"Qiu’er, you want to go too?" Chu Qin asked, his brow slightly furrowed, yet he seemed somewhat surprised.
"Mm-hmm," Wang Qiu’er affirmed, "Don’t forget, I am also a soul beast. Without using soul skills, no one below the level of a Soul Sage, even a Soul Douluo, would be my match!"
"Qiu’er, are you sure?" Chu Qin asked.
"I’m sure!" Wang Qiu’er answered confidently.
"We are going to kill, it’s not a game!" Chu Qin added.
"Then I have to go too!" Wang Qiu’er said, "In these thousands of years, haven’t I killed enough soul beasts?!
"Chu Qin, since Miss Qiu’er wants to go, why not take me as well," Ah Yin, seeing this, also spoke up, "Zi Ji can protect Xiaowu, so let me protect Qiu’er."
"Let’s decide on that, then," Chu Qin nodded and said, "Also, Daji, you stay behind. Just having the Azure Dragon with me will do."
"Mmm!" Su Daji assented understandly. Although she felt reluctant, seeing Chu Qin dealing with so many women, she did not want to add to the trouble!
Afterward, Chu Qin had a heartfelt private talk with the ladies, especially with Xue Ke.
In the end, Chu Qin, with Zi Ji, Ah Yin, Xiaowu, and Wang Qiu’er—the four great soul beasts—embarked on their journey to Slaughter City!
Slaughter City, the journey from the Tiandou Imperial Capital was extremely long. Because they were pressed for time, Chu Qin had Zi Ji transform into a true dragon to carry them part of the way.
After traversing mountains and rivers, Zi Ji quietly landed in a forest just outside a quiet town.
"Chu Qin, is this notorious Slaughter City in your human world?" Looking at the scene in front of her, indistinguishable from an ordinary small town, Zi Ji expressed her surprise.
"To understand things, one cannot just look at the surface," Chu Qin replied. "Do you not all feel it, this strange atmosphere?"
"A strange atmosphere?" all four women exclaimed in unison, startled.
"Mm, I can’t exactly put it into words, but let’s go into the town and take a look. We’ll find out!" Chu Qin said, leading the four women into the town.
As they investigated along the way, they discovered the town was eerily and terrifyingly quiet, except for a tavern from which loud noises were emanating, mingling sounds of laughter and the clinking of glasses.
Chu Qin and the four women entered it to find that the interior was bizarrely decorated, with a dark, day-less feeling due to the pure black colors.
At that moment, several vicious gazes immediately landed on Chu Qin and his group.
These people, mostly bare-chested, were all brutish in appearance with repulsive faces, burly and muscular! Moreover, they seemed quite lecherous, eyeing the four women with intense interest, particularly Zi Ji and Ah Yin, the mature ladies, almost as if their eyeballs were about to pop out!
What was most chilling was that each of them held a cup filled with a blood-red liquid!
Of course, seeing this scene did not stir the slightest ripple in the hearts of Chu Qin and his group. Chu Qin hardly needs mentioning, accustomed as he was to killing without batting an eye, and the other four, being soul beasts, were all too familiar with slaughter and life-or-death struggles to feel a hint of fear.
"Would the honored guests like to order anything?" At that moment, a tavern errand boy came up, bowing and scraping to Chu Qin and the four women.
However, before Chu Qin could reply, a two-meter-tall muscular man pushed the errand boy aside. Then, turning his repulsive face towards Chu Qin, he spat out a few words with contempt, "Yo, where’s this pretty boy from, daring to come here?"
It couldn’t be helped; not only was Chu Qin handsome, but he also brought four peerless beauties to a place that could be described as rampant with corruption and evil—this was a blatant provocation to those living as The Fallen!
Hearing this, Zi Ji and the other women all showed innocent, harmless smiles, as if they were mocking this foolish man who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Get out of here before I lose my temper," Chu Qin said with a faint smile.
Hearing his words, the muscular man immediately became furious, and a huge steel knife appeared in his hands. Following that, the rest of the tavern’s patrons got up from their chairs, kicked aside the tables and chairs and drew their own Martial Souls.
All steel knives!
Clearly, they were once part of a sect, sharing the same inherited Martial Soul, and their strong genes made each of them look so rough and hideous.
Following this, the muscular man put the steel knife on his shoulder and deliberately dug at his ear provocatively at Chu Qin, "Come on, try acting tough for me again!"
