Chapter 664: Yunlan City
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue looked up, just in time to see a male cultivator crash into another, sending them both to the ground.
"Bastard." The victim cursed and angrily stood.
"You broke my defensive robe. Hurry up and pay." He said.
However, the perpetrator wasn’t a vegetarian and also stood.
"What kind of worthless robe breaks from a little fall? Are you trying to take advantage of me?" He asked, sneered and pointed at a female cultivator.
"Don’t find the wrong person. She is the one who kicked me, so you should find her for compensation." He said.
"Do you dare to say why I kicked you?" The female cultivator asked and looked ready to fight the male cultivator.
"Bitch, it’s your honour that this young master wants to touch you." The male cultivator said, and the female snorted in anger.
"What a coincidence! You should also feel honoured that the bottom of this young lady’s shoe touched your filthy body." She said, and the male cultivator finally erupted.
"I will teach you how to behave." He shouted and took out his axe.
However, the female cultivator wasn’t fazed and also took out her weapon.
"Don’t fight in the queue. Move aside, or I won’t spare you if you delay my business." A young man said, and the surrounding people turned to look at him.
"Young master Qin, you are also here." Someone greeted, but the young master didn’t say anything.
Instead, he glared at the troublemakers, and all three immediately stopped fighting.
"This is not over." The three said, glared at each other and obediently queued.
The queue moved quickly after that, and it was soon the turn of the two qi transformation realm cultivators.
After paying the entrance fee, the two entered the city and followed others to the main street.
"Find a place to stay first or...?" Yu Nianzhen asked, but Jiang Yue shook his head.
"I am a little hungry. Let’s find a restaurant." He said, and the swordsman almost rolled his eyes.
’The irony of an immortal king saying that he is hungry!’ He thought and subconsciously chuckled.
However, since they had suppressed their cultivation to the qi transformation realm, they had to act as such and pretending to be hungry was part of the deal.
After walking down the main street, the two found a popular restaurant and entered.
"Seniors, where do you want to sit?" A waiter asked when they entered the restaurant.
"We want a window seat on the second floor." Jiang Yue said, and the waiter nodded before leading the way to the second floor.
The restaurant was packed and had few free tables.
However, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen didn’t mind and actually preferred the lively atmosphere.
After all, more people meant more news.
[The city is lively despite the disappearances.] Jiang Yue commented, and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
[Isn’t this expected? Most cultivators believe in their own strength and never think they would encounter an accident.] He said, and Jiang Yue nodded.
[Let’s see what we can find out.]
After sitting, the two ordered, and while waiting for their order, they began listening to gossip.
"Is it true that senior brother Kong found an opportunity to advance to the origin tempering realm in the Ancient River secret realm?" Someone asked.
"I heard that he fell into a tributary of the ancient river and found three lumps of blue crystal water jelly, just enough for him to advance." Another answered.
"He is so lucky."
"I have been to the Ancient River secret realm, but I only found eight lumps of red crystal water jelly."
"Red crystal water jelly is not bad. It’s at least enough to advance half a realm."
Since they didn’t know the so-called senior brother Kong and the Ancient River secret realm was too low-level for their cultivation, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue shifted their attention to other gossip.
"I saw the city lord’s guards when I was walking to the restaurant. Do you know what happened?" Someone asked.
"What else can happen?" A male cultivator asked and sneered.
"Did someone disappear again?"
"Disappear..." A female cultivator muttered and shook her head.
"It’s been so long, and there have been no clues. The city lord no longer bothers about the disappearances." She said.
"What then? Why did the guards go out in such numbers?"
"Young Miss Liu probably spotted a good-looking man and ordered the guards to arrest him."
"This woman is really a scourge." One of the male cultivators complained, and his companions glared at him with frightened eyes.
"It’s enough to know it. Why do you have to say it?" Someone asked, and the speaker immediately realised his mistake and looked around with guilty eyes.
Fortunately, he saw that no one was paying attention to their table and sighed in relief.
’Thank heavens no one heard me.’ He thought.
[Azhen, did you hear that? It seems that young Miss Liu has a habit of stealing male cultivators from the streets.] Jiang Yue said, and Yu Nianzhen nodded with a meaningful expression.
[We may not be able to escape her notice.] He said, and Jiang Yue chuckled.
[It’s not the first time that we have attracted this kind of trouble.] He said, recalling Lin Huang and others.
"Speaking of disappearances, I heard that three origin forging realm cultivators disappeared from the Happy Tree Inn." Someone stated.
"Really? Isn’t this the first time that people have disappeared from an inn?"
"I also think it’s strange. People usually disappear from the streets or private homes."
"Don’t look at the name, the Happy Tree Inn is not a good place. I think the owner did something to those three origin forging realm cultivators and blamed it on the usual disappearances."
"Is there something wrong with the Happy Tree Inn?"
Hearing this, a male cultivator sighed and lowered his voice.
"It’s that kind of inn." He said, looking at his male compatriots with meaningful eyes.
"What kind of inn?" A female cultivator asked.
"The kind where guests suddenly fall into a deep sleep and wake up feeling tired and painful." A male cultivator said, and the female cultivator gasped with a horrified expression.
"They dare?" She asked, and a male cultivator sighed.
"The Happy Tree Inn is the property of the fourth young master Liu. What doesn’t he dare to do?" The man said with a melancholic expression.
