 Life in marvelous times

    Slam - with the loud sound of the door opening, a tall and seductive beauty walked out with fresh hot steam pouring out of the room behind her.

    She was fully naked with a towel over her head and using both hands to dry her hair, her skin was wet with water droplets rolling downwards on her slightly tanned body.

    The beautiful woman started walked towards a man half naked man sitting on the bed, her hips swaying from side to side. She was so alluring that even gods would even raise their eyebrows.

    She stopped drying her ink black hair and tossed the towel on a nearby chair and smiled, the smile on the woman¡¯s face was akin to the stars bright and refreshing.

    Her voluptuous breasts were exposed and her pink nipples stood erect, slowly but surely her smile turned into that of an enchantress.

    In her eyes lust could clearly be seen, no it was that of a starved beast in front of her first meal in ages as she walked liquid was dripping down from between her legs.

    It was unclear whether or not it was water from the shower she had just taken or if it was her nectar seeping out as a result of her excitement.

    Her slow and sexy walk turned into that of a runway model, in a blink of an eye she reached the man sitting on the bed and spoke:

    ¡°Sorry, I hope that I didn¡¯t have you waiting for too long¡±

    She asked, her voice soft and enchanting and her movements seductive as she moved her entire focus onto the man.

    The man shook his head from side to side and grabbed her snake like waist, and looked up the beauty in front of him. She was perfect, and would put some of the best actresses and models to shame.

    Tall slim, sexy waist, voluptuous breasts, perky butt and a face that could rival the goddess of love herself. Her name was Bai Qing.

    She was the daughter of the baking mogul Bai Qingsong a shrewd and ruthless man when it comes to business. And the she also was the wife of Yi Peng.

    Major General of the People liberation Army of china, he was known as the bloody dragon of china. In his younger days he had the highest number of kills in melee combat.

    And these days even at the age of forty-five he was still a force to be reckoned with, so ask yourself ¡®why someone would dare mess around with a woman with this kind of background?¡¯

    It¡¯s simple really it is a scenario that plays and repeats itself every second everywhere in the world, a unsatisfied married young wife seeking a thrill or simply trying to quench a thirst.

    The thirst of lust, the itch that continuously plagues her and if her husband doesn¡¯t quench it then someone else will do it in his stead.

    Woody Allen once said ¡°Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go it¡¯s pretty damn good.¡±

    The man stood up and looked at the woman with a passionate gaze filled with unrestrained lust, the towel around his waist fell down revealing a well-defined body, muscles looked powerful yet supple.

    The perfect combination of speed, power, and stamina. His face was the stuff of legends that any man could only dream of having, it was not too feminine, but was not to rough neither.

    His long silky black hair that reached the middle of his back looked as if it was a work of art, his eyes shone like two black diamonds.

    His smile could melt the ice caps of the North Pole, his hands were not too big nor to small, everything about this man was just perfect.

    He was the pinnacle of perfection, he stood at 195 cm easily towering over Bai Qing who herself was 180 cm tall.

    Looking at his magnificent figure Bai Qing could not help but be mesmerized, she sized him up and down as if inspecting the goods from designer store.

    Her eyes rested on the one thing out of place in this world class painting. Yes the one flaw that got gave this man or one could say the one curse.

    His penis, some would say that by no mean is it a flaw but a blessing majority of women would indeed say it was a flaw.

    This man could rival a horse in size and a bull in girth, now woman in their right mind would dare challenge this weapon of mass destruction.

    Yet here was Bai Qing, at the frontlines ready for action. Without much of a warning picked her up by the waist and then lowered his head and kiss her.

    A burst of thick sweetness welled up Bai Qing¡¯s heart and she gently responded him. The sensitive body of Bai Qing began to get excited.

    The moaning sound that came from her breathing became increasingly heavy as her whole body became as hot as fire.

    As if it the signal he was waiting he gently placed her on the bed while tasting her cherry lips and her fragrant tongue.

    Soon extremely loud and wild noises were coming from the room, The Jade Courts was one of the veteran enterprises that was famous in in China.

    They had many branches and were known for their luxurious rooms, they were the sex hotels for the rich and privileged.

    Soundproof rooms, a privacy policy that was unmatched by any others, the man who looked as if he was crafted by the gods himself was Long Ye.

    Long Ye was born of a poor family in the country side of china, his parents couldn¡¯t afford food and where in dire situation.

    Then a spark of luck came their way, for Long Ye however it was not, he was sold to a sex trafficking group who happened to pass by the area.

    His parents received approximately three-hundred dollars for their child and sold him, they did so without as much as blinking, he was only eight years old

    Long Ye was put under elder Yang Xiaoqian Her skin was sickly pale and her clothes were white as well Wearing purple mascara and lipstick, the thin garments that hung loosely around her body gave her the decadent aura of a high class prostitute.

    Because she had been a world class prostitute, over the next ten years she personally trained Long Ye harshly in sex industry.

    He was taught how to please a woman, in any fashion imaginable. It didn¡¯t matter if she was fat skin or even ugly it was his duty.

    Comply he lived, disobey he dies. With that in mind he went about and became the best at his craft earning elder Yang praises.

    Despite his success the leash only got tighter, he was nothing more than a slave and very rarely did he enjoy his job.

    His only way of having fun was a VR set given to him as a prize by a highly valued customer and backer of his captors for a job well done.

    But tonight with this woman he was happy, why? Simply because she was a regular and repeat customer including tonight they have met a total of thirty times.

    The night was wild, Bai Qing laid on the motionlessly, with drool and tears dripping down her cheeks and lips, her eyes seem distant and devoid of light.

    Her legs were parted in a natural position revealing her lotus flower, from the looks of it one could witness that it just endured a violent storm.

    And barely made it out by the skin of teeth, steam was rising from it, some fluids were running down her thighs to her legs other were forcefully being ejected from her entrance and staining the sheets.

    Her body was soaked with fluids, a mix of sweat and sex fluids released on her body by Long Ye

    If one didn¡¯t hear her ragged and heavy breathing you might have thought she had been savagely ravaged by a gang of brutes and was now left for dead.

    But in reality she had fainted from intense pleasure she received from this eighteen year old male escort.

    Despite the taxing exchange that just went on Long Ye was not a bit satisfy he stood there at the edge of the bed naked and watching the satisfied look on Bai Qing¡¯s angel like face.

    Immediately after he confirmed she was unconscious he quickly and quietly reached in her purse and pulled our cell phone.

    With a practiced and rapid movement he bypassed her passcodes and transferred her file over to his own phone and synch them to each other, after he did the same with her tablet.

    After he was don he meticulously put it back where they belonged and went back to bed laid next to her, everything was over in mere seconds.

    Those who were in the knowing, would tell you that the organization ¡°Vice City¡± was the number one in about everything in the underground or black market.

    All of their members had to undergo serious and extensive training, no their training was simply torture, it didn¡¯t matter what branch you worked for it was mandatory.

    Long Ye was trained by elder Yang she was also an elder for both the sex trade and the intelligence agency.

    So it wasn¡¯t weird for Long Ye to do both specially when being on call high value targets. Bai Qing was not a high value priority but bother her father and husband were.

    So have eyes on her and having some her data might be able to shed some lights about her fathers and husbands affairs.

    Satisfied with the way everything went about, he slowly drifted to sleep with a smile on his face he clearly was happy.

    While sleeping Long Ye had a dream, well not much a dream as it was reality really. Long Ye¡¯s favorite and only enjoyment was his VR set and the game he plays.

    ¡°Cosmic Realm¡± is your typical VMMORPG about ancient Chinese martial arts and cultivation. The game was not overly popular.

    It sold a whopping 15 copies upon release, simply because it was made by an unknown company and the game had steep competition.

    Out of those 15 bought copies 10 of them were returned to the stores they were bought, 4 was destroyed and one was given for free as a gift to Long Ye.

    Being the only player Long Ye was enjoying the freedom of the open world he bought the guide book and horded away all the treasures, weapons, armor, pills, manuals, etc.¡­

    You named it he had, he also mastered many crafts such as alchemy, blacksmith, artificer, doctor, breeder, tamer, cook, Etc.¡­

    There was the only place he was truly free, so he stopped at nothing to have fun or to enjoy himself.

    With a loud bang the door was smashed open and many men in black outfits with automatic weapons entered the room in a professional matter.

    Long Ye quickly stood up and got ready to defend himself if possible, Bai Qing quickly covered herself with the blanket but was still hysterically screaming.

    A woman dressed in black with a black face mask walked up to her and performed a well time and practiced chop to the back and knocked her unconscious.

    With all that the men still kept their guns pointed at Long Ye and didn¡¯t even flinch or look at the action happening to the side.

    Bai Qing was then wrapped in the same blanket and carried out by a group women dressed in black, after they exited two men walked in.

    One was dressed in a well decorated military uniform walking with a cane and the other in a black business suit holding a cigar in his left hand.

    Both of their expression were black and grim the man in the uniform was leaking an ungodly amount of killing intent.

    One that Long Ye was overly familiar with, being in the frontlines of intelligence war he had meet his fair share of former military men or women of were baptize in the heat of battle.

    And he himself possess that killing intent, that is why he knew that this man was truly dangerous, even more so then the report stated.

    The other man was furious but he was akin to a mouse next to a tiger he was not threatening at all not with Yi Peng next to him, he looked at Long Ye and said

    ¡°You want to run? You think that after seducing my daughter and after causing her to make such a big mistake, you could still leave with totally unharmed? Ha her husband here next to me will definitely not let you off.¡±

    With a serious look on his face Long Ye answered with a deep and powerful voice while looking at both men in their eyes

    ¡°Escape? Why would I think of doing such a thing, I didn¡¯t know who she was nor did I know she was married, but I am not one that runs away from their mistakes and blame others if you want to kill me then please do so.¡±

    ¡°Eh¡±

    Every men in the room was shock beyond their wildest dream, never would they think a young man old enough to be they¡¯re son would have the balls to say such a thing.

    At this very second all of them hot blooded, iron eating, battle crazed maniacs had one thing common, they all had respect and admiration for this young man.

    Yi Peng included, they all were willing to give then youth a clean death out of respect, not every day you see someone take credit for they¡¯re mistakesThis tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

    Especially in today¡¯s youths, they were fickle and cowardly. Not only that you look at the current situation he was in how can he not be scared.

    A smile appeared on Yi Peng¡¯s face and with commanding voice he asked

    ¡°Any last words before I send you on your to the yellow river kid?¡±

    With pleased smile Long Ye answered

    ¡°Yes there is one thing I¡¯d like to say¡­ ¡®feet first into hell and back again, when I die burry me deep , don¡¯t cry for me, don¡¯t shed no tears, just pack my box with PT gears, cause at zero five hundred the ground will rumble, there will be lightning in the sky, but don¡¯t panic it¡¯s just my ghost on a PT run.¡±

    After saying those lines every men and women in the room nodded, all with the exception off Bai Qinsong.

    After that two bullets found their way in Long Ye¡¯s head, with thud his body dropped to the ground like a puppet with his strings cut off.

    ¡®¡±Humph trying to sound cool before dying what an idiot¡±

    With sneer Bai Qingsong spoke trying to vent his anger or trying to sound cool himself, who knows what was going through his mind.

    He looked to his right trying to get approval from Yi Peng, after saying those words with a gloating expression on his slightly pudgy face.

    To his horror every eyes in the room looked at him with a mixture of anger and repulsion, clearly those men and women help more respect to the dead youth then this man in front of them.

    ¡°wha..What is it is there something on my face¡±

    He was confused he didn¡¯t know why but he felt awkward and out of place.

    Shaking his head Yi Peng shifted his sight from him to the dead body in front of him, a look of pity evident in his eyes.

    A man walked up to his right and said a voice filled with reverence, pity and worry

    ¡°Boss, this boy he¡­please sir¡±

    Shaking his head in an understanding motion Yi Peng said

    ¡°Take his body back and treat it with care, then give a full military burial with honors of the 21 salute¡±

    ¡°YES SIR¡±

    With lightning speed the room was cleaned and Long Ye¡¯s body was taken care of with incredible care.

    Somewhere in the dark

    A body floated in what seems like a black whole, it was quiet, dark, and lonely. The body continuously floated for what seems to be ages.

    Not knowing how long he has been here or where this place even is Long Ye was still long ye was very relaxed.

    ¡°So this the afterlife huh sucks major nuttage I will say that¡±

    Said Long Ye in a lazy voice almost yawning.

    ¡°Oh that is very unusual, you¡¯re not scared nor are even mad¡±

    Said a deep scary voice sounding like thunder splitting the heavens. With a startle Long Ye started looking around in order to find the origin of the voice.

    At the same time a bright light appeared before him and bang and gigantic existence appeared before him

    It had black markings on his body as well as his eyes and all of his six arms. His hair is white in color and his skin is of red complexion.

    His eyes glow white and although he has irises, he doesn''t have pupils. Two giant tusk like fangs came of lips like a sabretooth tiger.

    A fierce and dark red aura was emitting from its body, it reeked of fresh blood, and it was heavy, dark, and scary. Long Ye knew that he was akin to a speck of dust in the eyes of whatever that thing is.

    ¡°Hello his imminence my name is Long Ye¡±

    He decided to be polite in order to curb this things anger

    ¡°I know who you are my friend I brought you here myself, well anyway let¡¯s make this short I don¡¯t have any time to waste here got other shit to do, things to kill, asshole to put back in there places.

    Any who listen here mortal I am asura got of wrath and war I liked your braveness and unyielding courage in the face of death, I am willing to give you a second chance ok now you have one request and one wish make it count, with that you have 45 seconds go¡±

    ¡°I want to resurrected in a world of cultivation like the VR game I played called Cosmic Realm and I want to keep all my stats, and all my items, basically I want to have everything I had when I played the game.¡±

    In one breath Long Ye screamed of the top of his lungs in order to convey his request and wish before time expired

    ¡±ok times up let me see what I can do for you hold on¡­..uhmm¡­uhmm I see ok ok, alright good news and bad news my friend.

    Good news is it is possible to send you to a world like that since one exists already, bad news is that it will be slightly different because every martial artist there have a martial spirit .

    Good news is that you can keep your inventory and everything in it, and as i recall you have the book of beast soul and God-Tier artifact in it so all you have to do is say it in your mind and it will open with everything in it.

    You will keep all the skills and profession you have learned in the game so you can use the transplant skill to infuse them in you our other people.

    That way they will become a Martial spirt, but the only problem is you cannot keep your cultivation, so you will have to start from scratch.

    And compensation I will cram everything about that world in that cranium of yours and will take three years off your current age but that is about it kid, that is all I can do so consider yourself lucky.¡±

    ¡°Eh¡­Ok I accept¡±

    Long ye was a little confused since the entity was speaking fast as if he was in a rush to get rid of him, after quickly processing the knowledge he agreed to it in a heartbeat.

    ¡°Good alright I will send you there right now good luck bud¡±

    Asura was not delaying this process at all, there were no comforting word, no explanation what you wanted to know will be crammed in your head and you figure it out yourself.

    In a flash everything disappeared god and man both.

    When Long Ye regained his consciousness, he saw blue hazy lights withhis mind. Even though his eyes were closed, he could tell that he was on a grassy land, with peculiar trees and flowerbeds.

    There was a huge lake in front of him, and the birds were singing, some were drinking in the water, it was marvelous, almost serene.

    ¡°How? I thought I will be reborn? Shouldn''t I need to be in my mother''s womb? And this particles seems familiar.¡±

    At that instant, his eyes open widely as the information about the world and his new life entered his mind like the flood gates were opened.

    "I am in the Cosmic Realm, wow they even have the same name¡­creepy. Ha-ha this world is surely amazing¡±

    Laughing all the information had finished entering Long Ye¡¯s mind, he was happy, truly happy he was like a baby in a candy store.

    ¡°This is it I am finally in control of my life, I can have fun and not be a slave¡±

    Standing up, he looked around with a smile on his lips and took a breath of fresh air, realizing he was naked, by the breeze hitting his private part.

    He chuckled and in his mind he said ¡°inventory¡± like magic he was transferred in a luxurious room made for kings adorn with gold and jade

    Racks were displaying armors, weapons, some were displaying pills, others clothes, shoes, and jewels. You name it they were there.

    His life of hording away stuff from the game were displaying right before his eyes, he could not help but to feel emotional.

    He walked up to a clothing rack and pull a set of black martial practitioner¡¯s clothes adorn with a red dragon wrapping from the sides to his chest.

    He then put on a pair of shoes that match his outfit, he took a look at himself in the mirror, and he looked like a young master from one of those big clans.

    Satisfied he walked around looking for a suitable spiritual art to practice and also for a spirit artifact that matched it.

    It didn¡¯t take long for him to find what he was looking for, he picked up the ¡°Dragon king¡¯s arts¡± that spiritual martial art was one of the best in the game because it doesn¡¯t restrict you to one or two elements.

    You can cultivate any and all elements and will not affect your development, after killing a spirit beast you can eat their cores and inherit their powers and their special abilities.

    Long Ye sat down cross legged in a meditative stance and began absorbing the essence of the cultivation material.

    In his head a chime rang and a female robotic voice sounded saying

    ¡°Would you like to learn ¡®Dragon king¡¯s arts¡¯ cultivation technique Yes or No¡±

    Without hesitation Long ye answered ¡®yes¡¯

    A beeping sound once again rang and said

    ¡°Learning technique successful¡±

    A bright red light sprung from his body and immediately a flood of information and power exploded out of his body.

    The aura that emitted from him was oppressing, baleful and oppressing like a dragon that awoken from its slumber.

    A dragon of death and destruction, and without warning a sharp pain assaulted Long Ye from the depth of his soul to the core of his being, from the marrow of his bone and the very fibers of muscles.

    Gritting his teeth Long Ye resisted without screaming his eyes turned blood red, he forcibly swallowed the sweet blood that was coming up from his throat.

    In a 10 breaths time Long Ye was push to the edge of his limits and back again, after the light diminished and disappeared.

    Long Ye felt a great power residing in very being his muscles were taunt and exuding power, taking a deep breath, he stood up.

    He knew that his cultivation base was only at the peak of the refinement realm but because of his cultivation method he was far stronger than that.

    The cultivation realms were the same as back in the game with eleven stages and each had ten levels each

    Cultivation Realms (11)

    </ul>

    With a smile he made his way to the weapons section, and picked a particularly designed blade it was called ¡®the dragon claw sword¡¯.

    It had four claws for a guard and a dragon head for hilt with two red rubies for eyes, the entire body of the sword was black even the blade.

    Satisfied he nodded his head and put it on his waist, he turned walked towardsa glass bookshelf there he picked up a thick and heavy gold book.

    He then started flipping pages, after a minute or two he looked like he found what he was looking for, he pulled out a card that had the painting of a majestic yet ferocious chinese golden dragon on it.

    After he took it out, another one apeared in the free space left by the previous one. Again, he once again took out another and like last time it was replaced by another card.

    He then continued to flip pages and this time he took out another card but this one was a dragon purple in color and dark clouds and lightning bolts decorated its background all around it.

    Just like previously the card was replaced, closing the thick book and returning it to the shelf, Long Ye sat down and pinched one of the gold dragon cards in his hands.

    Soon after he did so the card glowed brightly before turning into a clear ball the size of a marble, he then immediately swallowed it. before closing his eyes.

    A golden light shined around his body, before the figure of a big and majestic golden dragon hovered above him, then it opened its eyes and roared like a king announcing its arrival to the world before slowly disappearring.

    After get up and once again openning he''s eyes, Long Ye nodded to himself in satisfaction he walked over to the puppet section. The puppets were items that looked like people and you could customize them however you like.

    But once customized they become alive, they have a soul and an entity and will never revert back again. He pondered for a while before making his decision.

    In a flash the puppet had a warrior''s build and intense eyes. He had a goatee as well, his face and ears are covered in numerous scars showing that he has been in many battles.

    His hair is a mix of grey and white. He looked like a grandfather in his sixties, which was perfect because it was exactly the part Long Ye needed to play.

    He stood at 198 cm(6''4) despite his age he wasn''t hunched over he was like a towering mountain and stood With an upright back.

    As for his personality Long Ye also customized it too, His demeanor was that of a relaxed man who did not take risks and could see through his opponent''s tactics to bait him in battle.

    But in reality he was to be a fearless and war-hungry man, and had a strong sense of comradery and honor.

    He also had a very cruel side to him, did not show any mercy to any of his enemies and would wipe out the source of the problems to the roots.

    In combat he fought in a counter offense manner against skilled practitioners, he seemed to have the intuition to avoid traps and schemes set up by his enemies.

    Always letting himself be chased, he causing his enemies to become worked up, allowing him to relaxingly evade them.

    But once he perceived that it was time to attack, he would attack with sheer ferocity, one that is unmatched by any man or beast.

    He was the perfect hybrid fighter, Long Ye also made sure he practiced the ¡®Dragon king¡¯s arts¡¯ cultivation technique.

    After some minor adjustments, Long Ye picked up the ¡®Dragon fang glaive¡¯. This weapon was a black, long pole arm, the shaft had a dragon head attached at the end.

    Where a long black curved blade came out of the mouth of the said dragon. The whole weapon was 244 cm long (8 foot)

    He also pintched the other gold dragon card and placed the marble orb inside the puppet. He then picked four martial arts manuals, two were ¡®the basic glaive techniques¡¯ while the second one was ¡®the basic blade techniques¡¯

    The other two were ¡®the overlord glaive technique¡¯ and ¡®the overlord blade technique¡¯. Each of the overlord manuals were the size of an encyclopedia.

    Why? Well it is simple the covered every spiritual arts possible (water, air, fire, earth, lightning, thunder, necromancy, light, darkness, etc.¡­

    The four manuals were far and wide from each other ¡®the basic glaive and blade techniques¡¯ were each a common grade one manual.

    As for ¡®the glaive and blade overlord¡¯ were each a God grade seven ranked manual,

    In the game the levels for martial arts manuals were

    <ul>

    <li>Rare</li>

    <li>Unique</li>

    <li>Legend</li>

    <li>Mythological</li>

    <li>Saint</li>

    <li>Immortal</li>

    <li>God</li>

    </ul>

    In this world the levels were

    <ul>

    <li>Common</li>

    <li>Elementary</li>

    <li>high</li>

    <li>Profound</li>

    <li>Earth</li>

    <li>Sky</li>

    </ul>

    This ranking also followed for both Manuals, material and for spiritual artifacts/artificer levels. Each level is again differentiated into 7 ranks.

    Satisfied with his choices he learned the blade techniques and made the puppet learned the glaive techniques.

    After that was done he with is customization long input his name in, from now on he will be known as Long Yi a Peak Void realm Practitioner and middle ranked artificer level master.

    His cover was set, he was ready to begin his journey he picked up four space pouches from his inventory loaded two of them with clothes one for him and the other for Long Yi.

    The other two were also separated, one had only cultivation materials such as herbs, pills, ointments, elixirs, and many different types of beast cores of all levels and elements.

    The forth one was loaded with forging materials such common to heaven ranked. He also loaded all the items needed to forge and craft artifacts.

    After he was done the space pouch had a full size smith shop in it. After confirming he had all of his needed materials, he exited the inventory with Long Yi.

    He stood at the same place he woke up in, the scenery looked like it hasn¡¯t changed one bit. All the time it took him in the inventory was like a second in the real world.

    Logging this away in his memory he turned to Long Yi and tap him in his forehead with his index finger laced with a bit of spiritual energy.

    Soon after Long Yi opened his eyes and looked at Long Ye with the loving eyes of a parent, he then said in a soothing voice

    ¡°Ye¡¯er where are we right now?¡±

    Immediately Long Ye answered him with a smile and said

    ¡°We are in the artic beast mountain, located in Swallow Mountain County in the north of the Wild Dragon kingdom. The two majoies city are RedDear city and White Jade City

    Red Dear City is where the County governor Yuan Hengying, and patriach of the Yuan family resides. He''s martial spirit is a flame wolf

    Also located approximately 235 miles east of Red Dear is White Jade City led by a man named Lu Shao of the Lu Clan, His martial spirit is a ice moon

    These two men are sworn arch enemies, they are both at the third stage of the Earth Profound real cultivators and are both former generals in the army.

    ¡°En. I see, so what is the plan? These old bones of mine have been through a lot so being adventurous isn¡¯t exactly my desire, and I¡¯m sure you aren''t willing to join one those clans and be there goffer, so if i''m right you are going to shake things up a bit in this country. ¡±

    Long Ye was secretly shocked, a mere puppet actually has transcended and became something more, something he didn¡¯t think was possible.

    ¡°Yes that would be the ideal, but in order to so we are going to need some external help also it seems like breaking through the Nascent Opening realm before the age of twenty is considered average "

    ¡°Snort, really twenty what a laugh that¡¯s child¡¯s play for you Ye¡¯er. You are only fifteen years old and already at the peak of the refinement realm if my calculation is correct

    Without the use of our cultivation resources at the earliest you will breakthrough late next year, with the use of our resources at the earliest would be two days.

    S0 what is it that you want to do? In my opinion you might as well do it now, the earlier the better.¡±

    Long Yi was disappointed, these requirements to be considered above average were a worth fart in his eyes.

    Coming from a place where cultivation is made easy of course he would think that, in fact those resources he spoke of not even those platinum ranked forces have them at their disposal.

    If anyone were present to hear what he had said, they would have coughed a mouth full of blood and died on the spot.

    That statement was that out of the common sense of this world.

    Long Ye understood what he meant and nodded in approval, after quickly contemplating it, he answered true, "I could breakthrough and joined but, they will always be wary of me.

    Simply because earth shattering geniuses don¡¯t pop out of nowhere like this, they are known by the larger forces, or have noble backgrounds.

    We have neither one of those things, hence it is logical for us to establish one don¡¯t you think so grandpa.¡±

    Smiling Long Yi answered

    ¡°Of course that was my next order of business, look about thirty miles to the south of us is town we could go settle there.

    We can say that we are travelers in search of peace and quiet, and would like to settle in this remote town.

    I can use some of my artificer abilities, and repair some of their artifacts or even make some for them. And of course I¡¯ll have to be careful.

    And only make or fix those under Elementary grade six that way I¡¯m only labeled as Elementary level artificer.¡±

    Nodding Long Ye agreed, simply because according from the information given to him by Asura that the only Elementary realm artificer in this region is from the Darkmoon Hall.

    His name was Song Bai, he was responsible for all of the spirit weapons for the Darkmoon hall military base that was located in the plains south Red Dear City .

    Finishing arranging his thoughts Long Ye looked towards the south and said

    ¡°In that direction there is a city, and if I¡¯m accurate then it should be called ¡®Floating Cloud City¡¯ and it is also known as mercenary town. because it is base to many bands of mercenaries."

    "Well it doesn¡¯t matter really which direction we go in, anyways since you picked that way I guess that is where we shall go¡±

    And just like that the grandfather and grandson pair made their way towards their future.

 The beginning

    Floating Cloud City

    It was middle of the afternoon, the sun hung high in the sky, the temperature was slight on the hotter side despite the relatively chilly weather.

    The reason was because of the traffic caused by the sheer number pedestrians.Various stalls started to open at the edge of the road, crowding with people having food and buying lunch.

    Also, there were a lot of stalls that seemed useful to mercenaries selling armor, magic items, and various tools. It was an incredible scene, as it looked like a flee market.

    As people were handling their own agenda, a strange scene was unfolding before everybodies eyes, the crowd began to make way and split like the red sea for moses.

    An old man in luxurious clothing accompanied by a equally luxuriously dressed young man that looked to be in his early teens.

    One thing everybody can agree on was that these two were not to be triffled with, simply by the aura coming off that old man was enough to shake one''s soul to its core.

    People may think that mercenaries are dumb brute with no morals or smarts, but the case is far from the truth, because any good mercenary that wants to stay alive is no dumbass.

    They have developed a cany sixth sense for danger through out there years of fighting deep in the gutters between life and death.

    Of course there a few...special cases of idiots, like everywhere you go there will be retards but this time it was an anonymous descision not to fuck with these two.

    Even the stall owners took notre of there them and they to made note not screw them over, in a dark alley a shadow flickered before disappearing.

    Ignoring the comotion around them Long Ye and Long Yi walked forward without missing a beat, soon they arrived in front of what lseemed to be the biggest inn in town and called snow peak inn.

    Long Yi proceeded to open the doors and walked in first, inside there was a counter with seats and a large number of people sitting at seven tables.

    Five of the tables were filled with mercenaries making loud noises while drinking beer and flirting with the waitresses. But soon the noises strated to die down as more and more people notice him.

    Soon his eyes landed on a tall and muscular man with a height of about 2 meters with scars on his face standing behind the bar counter he looked around at least seventy years old.

    The elder had white hair and a white beard, his skin had no wrinkles. He had the skin of a middle-aged man However, his eyes were very strange; they were a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in this world!

    But upon using his eyes to scan his bones and meridans, Long Yi soon realized that this man should be around his early fifty years old the oldest and mid to late forties the youngest, clearly he went through some life altering experience which resulted in his current appearance

    Long Yi followed by Long Ye made there way towards him without paying attention to the nearby mercenaries, upon seeing them arrive in front of the counter the man said

    "Welcome to snow peack inn, this erea is the bar, diner, as well as the front desk and it is called ''Bears Point''. My name is Su Haoran im the owner and manager of this establishment how may i help you gentlemen today"

    Despite his rough look he spoke in a polite,friendly and eloquent manner. Nodding to him Long Yi also responded in his deep and commanding voice.

    "How do you do, we are here to rent 2 rooms please as for the stay we would like it to be for a week, thank you "

    With swift movements, the men pulled out 2 sets of keys and dropped them in the table in a polite manner in order not to offend his guests then he said.

    "that would be ten gold coins please, thank you."

    Without pause or hesitation Long Yi took out a low grade clear crystal like stone, the energy that was emmiting from the stone cause a uproar in the hall.

    Even the owner was shocked, so shocked in fact that he didn''t know how to react, which in turned cause an awkward delay in him giving the customer the keys to their rooms.

    After what seemed like a few seconds of having is mind blown by this turn of events, he cleared his throat and then quickly reached under the counter and pulled out a heavily decorated box.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

    From that box he pulled a key made out of pure gold, from one glance one can tell it was only given to very important and destinguished guests.

    "Here his the key to our noble suite, it is located on the top floor of our establishment, it features two luxurious rooms and anything one might need to spend a comfortable stay, and our package also includes freshly picked thunder pears, and assortments of other fruits, anything else you wish for is our command my lord."

    Looking at the quick change in the owners attitude Long Yi felt a little guilty since from what Long Ye has told him those nobles are arrongant pricksso he tried to smoth it over out of guilt since he wasn''t a noble nor a prick

    "Ah that right ok thanks for your hard work and keep the change, Ye''er let''s go"

    Smilling at this old man embarassement Long Ye answered "coming grandpa"

    After dissapearing from sight the hall once again erupted in chatter, they all had one question who in the world are these two?

    in the far corner of the hall a woman, wearing a set of purple guard armor, with an alluring figure that exudes feminine sensuality.

    Any man who were fortunate enough to laid eyes on her had a single thought crossed their mind''s what an extraordinarily beautiful woman!

    This woman, no more than twenty-five years old, had a classic oval face with sensual, rosy lips and wavy black hair that fell to her waist.

    The slim waistline between her ample bosom and shapely hips lends flexibility to her graceful contours. It left their capabilities to ones imagination.

    She was reclined on a couch, one leg bent at the knee and resting on the other, exposing the white, smooth skin of her long gorgeous legs.

    This kind of woman will have all men drooling at first sight and lose their sense of reason, overwhelmed by the desire to push her down on a bed.

    However, thinking is thinking; few men dare to act on this impulse. Besides a the occasional secret glance none dared even stare at her for to long.

    And for good reason. She is better known by her eerie nickname, "Fairy of Death". Any man who had wanted to have their way with her had been sent to meet their Maker.

    Her name was Cai Yueyao and she is one of the four Vice-Commander of Falling Stone City¡¯s second largest mercenary group, ¡°The Red Regiment.¡±

    She has the strength of a sixth rank True Profound realm cultivator, she was also the younger sister of the current comander of the red regiment Cai Yunyan.

    Resting against the table next to her was a long slim sword, it wasn''t ovely decorated nor did it look extraordinary, but every knew it was a third-grade middle rank weapon called Soul Seizing Sword

    With a slight giggle that sent shivers down any man''s loins she truned her attention towards the man sitting across from her and asked in a excited voice

    "What do you think of them Kun Lao, any thoughts on their backgriund?"

    The man who was cheerfully stuffing his face with food suddenly stopped and looked up at her and answered with a simple shake of his head before resuming his war.

    Kun Laois a tall, strong man who gave off an unshakeable feeling. His upper arms were bare, exposing thick and solid muscles with veins bulging like a malevolent python. A war axe laid at his side also against the table the shear size of it cause people to tremble with fear.

    He was known as the Kun Lao the barbarian, he was a decendant of the southern barbarian tribesmen who two hendred years ago helped the kingdom against the coalition army for the neighboring three small countries.

    For their help and bravery when the war ended in the defeat of the coalition army and the destruction of the thre countries they were awarded land and became loyal subject of the throne.

    The entire southern mountain became their land, and in turn they fromed a city by the name "blood sky city" it was directly built on the mountain, insteady of being called a city it was more of a fort.

    An impregnable fort, inside of it there was no fancy buildings or thing of that nature, no there was still trees and such, the terrain remainded unchanged they simply built walls around they''re territory to keep outsiders at bay.

    Sighing at this she then seem lost in thoughts with a smile on her face, as of she was contaplating her next course of action.

    After a short ten minutes a sudden set of foot steps could be heard coming down the stairs, at first nobidy paid attention to it but when the person revealed himself that changed.

    The figure was that of a youth no older than fifteen years oldm despite that he was tall and stood straight like a well polished spear, his air was that of a soldier that has seen bloodshed.

    He''s eyes were cold and intense, he looked as if he was constanly check his surrounding, in a breif moment everyone felt as if they''ve been seen through in an instant.

    in the eyes of the veteran mercenaries who''ve lived throught death and carnage of the world were secretly shocked. because those actions are those of people from their world so how could they be done so smoothly by a kid.

    Sitting up Cai Yueyao immediately became spirited, like a child that found a new toy to play with. Next to her Kun Lao looked saw Long Ye and and turned back to Cai Yueyao and said

    "Give it a rest Cai Yueyao we don''t know who they are nor they''re background do not bring trouble to us or yoour brother"

    Like water under a bridge his warning came and went, shaking his head he once again kept eating because he knew when she had that expression on her face she would not listen to to reason.

    Long Ye was sensitive to his surrounding at all times, he knew exactly who was where and doing what. he arrived at an empty table and sat down, soon as he did a waitress showed up and took his order.

    Waiting for his food to show up, Long Ye closed his eyes, and started cultivating, it was his way of saying to the people in the room that he was not interested in small talk nor was he scared of them.

    Why shoul he be scared of them, what these people accomplished in twenty to forty years of their lives he has don in four days, yes he has reached the Earth Profound in just four days, granted it was due to the resources in his inventory.

    But still in ths world he is considered a powerhouse, one not to be triffled with at any given time, for any reason or death was the consequence.

    To the general public however in their eyes he was a recless sheep in a forest full of predators, the reason behind their thinking was that since they couldn''t feel his cultivation then he was not a cultivator.

    According to public knowledge one''s spirit usually awekens round thirteen years old and some around fourteen , So who would guess that some wet behind the ear kid would be a fearsome monster.

    when the waitress came back with his drink, a voice as lovely as birdsong rang out, ¡°This Young Master¡¯s meal is on me!¡±

    clearly recognizing Cai Yueyao the waitress responding with a smile and nodded, ¡°As you wish, miss Cai Yueyao"

 Frustration and Assault

    Handing three gold coins to the waitress with a smile on her face Cai Yueyao felt like she had everything in the palm of her hand until the cold and indifferent voice of Long Ye woke her out her dreamland

    "What do you want?"

    Speechless Cai Yueyao snapped her head back and stared at Long Ye with a surprised look, and to her bewilderment, both of his eyes were closed shut, like she was a none existent entity.

    She stared at him for a few more second, before she recovered her bearing, she put on her best act forward, she refused to beleive that there was a man let alone a young boy who wouldn''t fall for her tricks.

    With a little giggle that sounded like a canary ringed out, with that she drew in all the attention in the room. Every eyes were on her, with lust unconcealed in their gazes, yet she acted as if she saw nothing.

    Without asking she pulled the chair and sat down,she crossed her legs on top of each other, exposing the white creamy and silky smooth pair of legs out of the side slit of her dress, you could hear the men in the room swallowing they''re saliva.

    Those pair of legs were as good as a work of art, yet Long Ye''s eyes remained close. He could careless about her, and to him her acting was on par with a middle school brat wanting attention from an older boy.

    His eyes remaind close as he meditated, he had leapped level upon levels at a very fast rate, while his foundation was strong and remained unaffected from the sudden forced breakthroughs he forced himself to meditate in order to get insights.

    So at the moment he could careless abiut her nor her sham of a play, as a man who had decided to grab the reins of his life by the horns strenght was the only way of true freedom.

    Quite frankly he wanted to jump all the way to Void realm but that would be counter productive, unlike those who were born in this world, their bodies were accustomed to the spirit energy in the air.

    He on the other hand had just arrived in this world, while he could absorb spirit energy and cultivate he was not of this realm his he had to strenghen his foundation.

    Using the pills and resources in his inventory he was able to advance without damaging his foundation, now he had to cultivate like anybody else and stop using heavenly reasources.

    After a few minutes of silence Cai Yueyao became impatient and wondered if this boy was not gay, since she a nation topeling level beauty was sitting in front of him and was willing to flirt with him, yet he had no reaction.

    Her brows creassed as she thought of her next plan, then out of nowhere Long Ye''s eyes opened, he then grabbed his chopstics and sat up straight.

    As he did the waitress came walking up with a tray of food, like a stunned deer Cai Yueyao stared on as LOng Ye began munching on his food and treated her like air

    Was she that unsignificant that he didn''t even paid attention to nor say thank you to her for paying for his food, even if she didn''t need to do it at the very least say some words of gratitude.

    Soon Cai Yueyao started getting angry, she felt like her pride was stepped on, her whole existence was worth less than fart in the eyes of this youth.

    And with her reasoning and common sense went out the door, her chest began to rapidly rise and fall, her breathing became ragged, soon her face started to distort.

    Before she could curse at this boy his cold and indifferent voice once again rang out and this time it was louder, he made sure she and everyone in the room heard him

    "Again i will ask you what do you want? beaaus as you can see i would like to have my meal in peace, so hurry up state you business"

    Before she lost all her remaing patience a voice suddenly sounded from the door at entrance of the hall, a the figure a typical snobbish young master could be seen.

    "That is not the way to speak to such beautiful a lady you unmannered and uncivilized brute, you should be ashamed of yourself hmph.

    Lady Cai please let us go to the Floating cloud pavillion and ejoy a booth there, let uncivilized man to mingle amongst themselves."

    A young man in a white robe who appeared to be eighteen or nineteen had a tall build, elegant features, and a fascinating charm like that of jade.

    He was beautiful enough to make any sexually awakened girl who yearned for love, become completely infatuated with him, from his speech one could tell he was spoiled young master.

    All of a sudden every men in the Hall broke in laughter, while throwing insults at the young man in front of them. Some were even say some ruthless wordsThis story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

    "HA Xuan Yu give it up, no matter what lady Cai Yueyao will never go on a date with you"

    "Danm right haven''t the previous four-hundred rejection enough yet?"

    "Hopeless bastard, his brain has been taken over by his C**k"

    "No shit there, beside he''s always been thinking with little brother instead of his brain, didn''t he try to sneak in the governor''s mansion in order to spy on lady Qin Lanfen?"

    "Yea but instead he was caught by the governor himself tsk,tsk, tsk poor fella was beatin'' like a drum during war time HAHAHAHA"

    While all this is going on Long Ye''s was muching the huge plate of food in front of him, he was like a buttomless pit. Yet no one found it strange since it was common for cultivators to have a huge appetite.

    On the other hand cai Yueyao was smilling because she was about to get revenge on this rude brat, and what perfect timing was it that her most annoying fan willingly walked in.

    She put on the best innocent look she could muster, one that would simply melt the defenses of most man in the world, using her sweet and intoxicating voice while pointing at Long Ye she said.

    "Young master Xuan it is not that i am unwilling to accompany you, it''s that i''ve been held here by this brother here, if you want me to take you on that offer why not discuss it with this brother"

    All the mercenaries present rolled their eyes at the same time while thinking the exact same thing, What buls**t excuse was that.

    ''Held you'' seriously wasn''t you who ''willingly'' walked over besides hasn''t that fellow over there been trying to get rid of you all this time, worst part that d**k brained bastard his buying all her garbage.

    As they thought, the hopeless Xuan Yu did in fact believe her, his face turned black in rage as he stared at Long Ye, it''s almost as if fire were ready to spew out if his eyes.

    He roared at Long Ye who had just put down his chopsticks, and began to wipe his mouth. A great amount of food was still left on his plate.

    The reason why he stopped was that he was a bout to walk to another table in order to avoid all this rukuss, since young Long Ye prefered eating meals alone, yet today he wasn''t so lucky.

    "Get up and fight me if you dare call yourself a man"

    Sighing Long Ye stood up from his chair and turned to look at the pain in the ass that has been making a ruckus since his arrival from god knows where.

    From his probing Long Ye had long since determine he was as insignificant as a housefly, and that he barely reached level six Refinement Profound.

    And guessing from the way he strode around like a peacock amongst a flock of crows one could tell he was fairly pround of himself and he''s acheivement.

    Shacking his head Long Ye said while releasing a slight killing-intent

    " I don''t know who you are nor do i really give a danm, but i will tell this continue witht this farce and i will lob your head off your shoulders, i will also kill every man woman and children from your family not even domestic animals will be spared so choose wisely."

    At that moment, Xuan Yu, who was standing against the blade, quickly took a few steps back but due to the sudden movements he fell down on his A$$.

    A full layer of cold sweat soaked his clothes. At that very moment, he felt like he was facing a mad beast. One that was, poked, proded and starved for months on the chair facing Long Ye, Cai Yueyao was equally shocked.

    Cai Yueyaos¡¯ skin felt the murderous intent coming from Long Ye and reacted by sending a signal to her brain in order for her to move.

    ¡°Such a vicious and aggressive murderous intent!¡±The mercenaries in the Hall once again were given another shock, where did this kid get such a ferocious murderous intent? Did he climb out of a pile of corpses? impossible, he''s way to young to have been to war.

    They racked they''re brain but to no avail, this kid was a first rate monster. they''re clothing, air, and way of conduct already affirned that they were of special background but now this was a whole new ball game.

    Kun Lao who was waging amother war against food looked up as both of his eyes shined as a surprised expression appeared on his face, he quickly reached in his chest pocket and pulled out a dim red stone and crushed it.

    "CHOOSE OR I WILL FOR YOU"

    Raising his voice and once more telling Xuan Yu to chhose his fate, one could tell that Long Ye was fed up with the current sistuation at hand, and whatever he chose would be painted red with blood

    "Sir...please....i''m...sorr"

    It was at this very moment that Xuan Yu knew he had f***ed up and REALLY REALLY badly at that, being the only child and son of the current leader of the Lindor Merchant Guild, he was spoiled rotten.

    His father nor the elder of his family ever told him no, hence he grew up to become very arrogant and overbearing, of course he knew that in some situations he had to behave.

    For example, when he and his father visited the imperial capital he was as docile as a lamb, and as quiet as a mouse. Because he knew that the capital was the lair of monsters and deamons in human skin.

    When he visited the house of the properties of other VIP indiviuals he also behaved, the only person he would act arrogantly around where those he deemed insignificant.

    The only person whoever whooped his A$$ fifty shades of red was governor Qin Wuyi, he''s godfather and sworn brother of his own grandfather.

    But now he kicked a sleeping dragon awake and it was now asking for payback, and it was sure to be bloody, unpleasant and deadly for him. Only now did he realize his own stupidity.

    "Young master please this lady here begs you to please spare young master Xuan''s life as it was this yao''er''s fault, in order to own up to that Yao''er is willing to do anything for youg master"

    Cai Yueyao tried her best to appease this beast in front of her using her best assests and tricks, she got on her knees and kowtowed to Long Ye.

    And in the process revealed the snow white and creamy skin of deep cleavage, she knew if something were to happen to Xuan Yu the Lindor merchant guild would come look for her and that would cause a deadly conflict between her brother and them.

    She was deeply unwilling to give away her purity to someone she didn''t know or loved but she knew some sacrifices had to be made for the greater picture since ot was her fault this situation had turned this way

    Long Ye didn''t look ugly or anything of sort, on the contrary he was extreemly and incredibly handsome, but because of the unfavorable light in which Cai Yueyao saw him caused her to be unwilling.

    Without even paying attention to her, Long Ye answered her in his usual deadpan and cold voice

    "Soon you will receive your punishment"

    A sudden crashing noise brought everybody''s except Long Ye''s attention to the front door. A young man looking to be around the age of twenty-five years old walked in holding a ominous trenchant saber in his hand.

    His voice boomed out, with anger and hatred unmasked in his tone, his eyes stared daggers at Long Ye, like a beast staring at his lpng hated enemy and rival.

    "What impudence, I''d like to see you dare to harm my sister"

 Stepping on the sleeping dragons tail

    Looking at the figure that appeared, another round of commotion broke out in the hall, both Cai Yueyao and Xuan Yu felt relieved. It was like they''re knight and shinning armor has arrived to save the day.

    "Big brother you came" Cai Yueyao said with a huge grin plastered on her face, she was extremly glad that her beloved older brother showed up.

    Since youg she was the little princess of her family, like Xuan Yi she was also spoilled but unlike him, she developed a playfull style of comportment.

    she enjoyed playing tricks and pranks on people, it''s all good and fun but they are always a limit to all things, and that is what she doesn''t understand and what her family failed to correct.

    Due to her fathers high political position, most poeple turned a blind eye to her antics, with her overly protective brother other people couldn''t nor had the guts to do anything to her.

    The blue-clothed youth with a handsome appearance and a graceful bearing he was currently coming towards them, and he was bringing along a few young men.

    As he walked forward a round of discussion broke out once more

    "Well looks like Cai Yueyan is going to go crazy again"

    "Hey now this is interesting that sister lover will be making a move?"

    "Oy Oy that youth is seriously f**cked now"

    "He can only blame himself for his predicament"

    "well let''s just wait and see but i don''t think things will be simple beside there is still that old man"

    "What old man? that guy probably have a foot in the grave already"

    Standing in front of Long Ye with his saber in hand Cai Yueyan glares at Long Ye who was standing like nothing that was going on mattered to him still he wore his usual indifferent look on his face.

    "Boy today i will show you the consequences of anraging me and most importantly of daring to lay a finger on my sister. You will die like the lowly dog"

    Looking at Cai Yueyan and his arrogant antics, Long Ye broke into a smile and began laughing out loud soon after, an action that baffled everybody present.

    "Hahahaha oh man funny really funny, a mere second rank Mortal Profound dare bark at i Long Ye, HA ridiculous. Seriously you guys are like cockroaches you squash one three more pops out. Very well it seem like everyone here has a death wish..."

    Soon Long Ye turned serious, a thick and dense murderous intent and overly dense Qi rose from him, it was twice no three times as much as last time. everyone was shocked.

    The pressure of his killing intent mixed with overwhealming Qi was so great that those sitting close to him were on the floor trying to fight against the sudden pressure.

    Even the guards behind Cai Yueyan were affected by this pressure, with the strongest one of them using only able stay on both knees and resisting the pressure.

    Maybe due to his rank, Cai Yueyan only managed to stay on one knee but beads of sweat covered his forehead. He was desperately gasping for air, his hair was deshriveled, he looked and sounded like a ''princess'' who received her sixth customer in a row without a break.

    Those weaker mercenaries and even the gracefull Cai Yueyao and the arrogant Xuan Yun were plastered to the ground and looked to be in severe pain.

    "St...stop...Pl-ease"

    A week and feeble voice was soon hear by Long Ye and he soon stopped his display of power, turning his head he saw the manager/owner standing behind the counter.

    Unlike the others able to keep standing, but with great difficulty, he felt like a great an invisble force was pushing down and forcing him to acknowledge his ruler.

    "Sorry about that sir, i kind of got carried away"

    Long Ye actually felt bad, not for his actions against those arrogant bastards but for affecting this old man, even though he never knew his grandparents, one of his martial arts trainer was an old chinese man and he treated hi like a himan being.

    So in way Long Ye always respected senior citizens. Looking at this kids reaction and demeanor old man Su shook his head, and sighing in his heart after recovering slightly.

    unlike those present he was considered a powerhouse equal to the governor. He had seen many so called geniuses and those once in a life time geniuses too but a thirteen year old boy at the fourth level of Earth profound realm was unheard off what troubled him was which family produced such a monster.

    Old Su Haoran was a former deputy general back in his days, he was known as the passive roaring bear, he had enough merit to rise to the ranks of general but he refused several promotions.

    He was widely known as caring and eccentric person, he was raised by his grandparents hence adopted their action and habits, this earned him the nickname old man Su by his men at the age of thirty years old.

    Su Haoran who is loyal to both his men and enemies, even in death he would honor them, once such instance was the battle of Koku You where his army battled against the Sky Eagle nation.

    The battle was long and bloody, it lasted twenty-three days in total, but despite that he''s army came out victorious. The enemy army lost over twenty-thousand men, and he lost a measly five thousand.

    Yet after the war he sent people to collect the dead of both allies and foes alike, the bodies were placed in wood coffins, covered with the sky eagle nations flag and where all placed at the border.Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

    When the border soldiers of the Sky eagle nation spotted this , they thought they were under enemy attack but when they arrived, they witness all soldiers standing at full military salute and sending off the dead enemies.

    He became famous, at one point he breifly became the current king''s warfare instructor when the king was a teenager, but due to an argument with a newly apointed young general, who foolishly and stupidly rushed into the enemy ambush, and caused the death of over ten-thousand-man he was stripped of his position and given an dishonorable discharge.

    But all that was not enough, a dishonorable general is either executed or forced to drink ''Origin breaking pill''. That pill''s main function is to knock ones cultivation level up seal it at that specific level, another side effects was that any child born from someone who consumed this pill would have his cultivation crippled from birth.

    Old man Su who was at that time a level five Spirit Profound realm culitvator had all his years of hard work sealled at the third level of the Earth Profound realm.

    That young generalZhao Zhuang, was the son of the former prime minister Zhao Kuo. Using his fathers influence and the fact that his elder sister was the king''s favorite concubine he had old man Su punished, but karma is a bitch, the following monthZhao Zhuang died in battled against the sky eagle nation.

    He lost over four-hundred-thousand soldiers, and he was caught and killed during his attempt to flee the battlefield, enrage by these action the king ordered the complete execution of the zhao family.

    After this debacle the king personaly came to apologize to old man Su and ask him to once again become a general, but old man Su said no.

    He sold his property and other valuebles, and on the dead of night moved his entire family out of the empirial city. This did not go unnoticed, upon arrival at the city gates he was greeted once again by the king.

    The king asked him if he could reconsider his decision but old man Su told him

    "The bird has fallen to the bow, and the rabbit has fallen to the hunting dog since ancient times. An extremely loyal general, and his services have always been highly appreciated by their entire country. However, a highly admirable war general¡¯s fate has always been very tragic. If he doesn¡¯t die on the battlefield. He is beheaded and his property is confiscated. One can shake the gods if they fly too high."

    The king looked as if he aged a decade after hearing these lines, for the sake of pleasing a woman, he lost his most loyal and brave general. That made him really doubt his abilities as a leader and as a man.

    Before dissapearing in the shadows old man Su said his final words.

    "I could bear the sealing of my cultivation, but what i cannot stand is the future of my unborn child that had been robbed before he could even take his first breath. As a father the most regretable choice i made in my life was joining the military."

    According to the chronicles that were discovered in the imperial study some fifty years later, it said that the king cried tears of blood that night in regret to his actions.

    And on his knees he made a promised to the gods that if not he, then his descendants would spend they''re lives trying to right the worngs they''ve done to the Su family, no to old man Su himslef.

    Shaking his head again he waved his hands at Long Ye and said

    "It''s alright i guess, besides it wasn''t you who started this farce anyways, what''s your next move? i don''t think anybody here is in any shape to continue."

    looking back on the damage caused by him Long Ye shrugged his shoulder and with a smile on his face walked out of the hall back up the stairs towards his room without a care in the world.

    Dumbfounded by this young lads action, old man Su started laughing and shaking his head. He hated to admit it but this kid reminded him of himslef in his younger days.

    Suddenly voices could be heard as the pile of bodies on the floor began to regain their consciousness, but all of them were still shaken by heart gripping fear.

    the Cai siblings and Xuan Yuan were the most shaken out of the group, simply because they were the main reason why all this mess started, and now, now they had witnessed the strenght of the man they antagonized.

    "Congradulations, you guys have kicked an incredibly tought stell plate, no sorry you guys have stepped on a dragons tail is more accurate"

    With a sneer on his face old man Su looked at the Cai siblings in contempt evident in his eyes. As for Xuan Yuan he paid him no mind at all, like as if he was invisible.

    "Old man Su....Wha..what was that?"

    With great difficulty Cai Yueyan asked, even though he was recovering his bearings, his breath was still ragged, and the sheer fear that gripped his soul told him how close he was to the yellow river.

    "Ha what was that? kid that was a level four Earth profound realm cultivator with years of life and death battles releasing his strengh and killing intent"

    Old man Su replied with a grin on his face, as if he was enjoying their pain, or is it because he was going to enjoy their reaction after hearing the truth and the strengh of that boy.

    There was a moment of deep and uncomfortable silence before every soul in the hall went absolutely ape s**t. a Earth profound realm cultivator? at that age? what is a Earth profound realm so that a child could reach it that easily?

    "What an Earth profound realm..!?"

    Cai Yueyao was speechless, she was doomed, she knew it. She dared pissed of a child who''s cultivation was not only higher than hers, but one with a mystirious background, one whose background was no doubt higher that her''s.

    Cai Yueyan was also speechless, he was regreting his arrogance earlier, thinking back when the boy told him he was the equivalent of a cockroach...he was right.

    "Well he went back upstairs without killing you lot, well it might out of respect for me, but i suggest y''all put on ya best asskissing on full display and maybe just maybe your heads won;t be lopped off...i guess"

    Old man Su was seriously enjoying the look on the faces of those two siblings, these days have been incredibly boring, a few years ago his son left with his mother to go visit her ancestral home, her family were known alchemists, he agreed to let them go in hope of curing his one and only child.

    He''s son Su Hong turned fifteen this year, and it is his only change of awakening his martial spirit and travel the path of martial arts, in this world the strong dominate the weak.

    Strenght and wealth are the only key to a decent life, no woman would want a weak and poor man, on the same page wealth without strenght is nothing.

    Old man Su had wealth and strenght, even if his cultivation was sealed at the Earth profound realm, he was still considered and expert since he was after all earth profound realm.

    But when he died leaving his wealth to his son who was not a cultivator would only paint a target on his back, after all once sharks smell blood i n the water they attack.

    So a weakling who has a lot of money would be an easy target, no matter who his father is, thinking of his problems he sighed and said at the crowd who were busy discussing the events that just unravelled.

    "Alright guys beat, it im closing up shop, also may this be a lesson to you all, never judge a book by it''s cover"

 A brewing strom

    After everybody left the dining hall, Old man Su had the waiters and waitresses cleaned up before sending them home. He sat on his stool behind the bar counter and watched as the last one of them left.

    Taking out a cigarette, he used a match to light it up, he pinched the cigarette between his forefinger and middle finger, and put it between his lips. After a deep inhale and a careful sniff,he put on a face of indulgement.

    With starry eyes glistening with light, he watch the smoke he puffed out swirlling around and with a giggle he said "hahaha great stuff, fuck i can''t get enough of the rush, hehehe, thank the gods the wife is out of town or i wouldn''t hear the end of it."

    "Ugh, what good stuff? all i smell is cheap crap from over here, beside that you know that crappy stuff can kill you right?, even with your cultivation level it can do damage"

    Without as much as a warning, a firm voice filled with machismo sounded out and interrupting his personal and ambarrassing personal moment. Turning his head around with a frown on his face Old man Su saw who it was.

    It was none other than Long Ye, staring at him with a smirk on his face, it wasn''t an arrogant smirk that those noble young masters throw at others they feel they are above, but one of a child catching his father performing an act which he shouldn''t be doing.

    ¡°Kid, not bad, you managed to sneak up on me" stroking his beard Old man Su tried to act like wasn''t ambarrassed, but deep down he was praying that Long Ye didn''t see to much of his...uhm... less than elder like behavior, hence he changed the subject.

    "Nothing much, just some petty and cheap tricks i''ve had to learned in order to survive" Long Ye responded in a nonchalant way, as he made his way toward the front of the bar, and sitting down on a stool.

    "cheap tricks my ass, kid that concealment technique you just used is without a doubt high level one, ai how i wished i had it back in my service days. I''d used it to train assassin''s and send them after high valued enemy generals and commanders.

    Shaking his head in sorrow, Old man Su was reminiscing about his misfortune. He wasn''t wrong though the technique used by Long Ye was indeed a high level one, in fact it was the God rank ''Hidden Flowing light''.

    This allows the user to suppress his profound energy aura within a range determined by the user, and it also allowed the user to display a profound energy that would seem far weaker than it actually was or even go as far as completly concealing it.

    Next he used ''Shadowless Lost Step'' A movement skill that even gods and devils could not fathom. It would allow the user to outrun opponents that are realms above their own and it also conceal any and all sound made by the footsteps of the user.

    After sitting down in front of Old man Su, Long Ye took out a llittle woodn box. The wooden box had an ancient make to it, When Long Ye held it in both hands, his hands sink a little.

    The wood was surprisingly several times heavier than metal. It was Divine red-crowned crane Ebony, Old man Su recognized this wood. Divine red-crowned Ebony was harder than metal.

    It would not decay, even when buried in the ground for thousands of years. However, the Divine red-crowned Ebony box in Long Ye''s hands were lined with the marks of time. It was mottled with age. It was unknown about how much time this wooden box had experienced.

    Looking it, Old man Su was speechless. He knew how valuable this box was, in his life he knew nobody who would waste a Divine red-crowned Ebony to make a box, instead it could be used to make divine weapons.

    Not even the emperor would be foolish enough to be this prodigal, squinting his eyes he carefully sized up Long Ye. As if his burning stare was worth fart to him Long Ye proceeded with his actions which further shocked Old man Su.

    Opening the lid of the box, and within it laid six rows of cigarettes and each row was ten deep, but unlike normal cigarettes that old man Su was used to. No these cigarettes were as thick as two adult fingers,they were also as long as an average man''s middle fingers, and both ends were pointy and closed like the tip of an arrow.

    He was confused, he didn''t know what those things were. but when the aroma that permeated in the room entered his nose, he suddenly stood up straight and his eyes were wide open, the hair in the back of his head stood up.

    He had goesbumps, he stared at them like a man that just discovered the loved of his life, yes he was hooked. Seeing his reaction Long Ye laughed as he resumed his preparation. He took out a set of unfamiliar metal like instruments, a round shaped ashtray, a glass cup and a glass ball shaped container with a dark amber liquid in it.

    "Ok old man since you like your tabaco, i''m going to show you that what you have been smoking al your life were nothing but cheap bushweed, this is called a cigar and those one are called perfecto''s"

    Smiling at the entranced old man in front of him Long Ye told him his real purpouse for sitting down in front of him. and like a drunk man chasing his next glass of alcohol old man su looked up at Long Ye in confusion.

    Without a care i the world Long Ye picked one of the perfecto and went through the motions of cutting the tips, he thenn paased it to ol man Su and said "take a draw"

    After doing so he began to toast the foot of the cigar, and slowly but surely he eventually lights it after having old man su take a few puffs.

    "HOLY F**K!! THIS IS AMAZING" old man Su lost himself in delight, he had never tasted something so magnificent as a modern day cigar. The technology and production methods used by modern day people are eons away from the past.

    The game Cosmic Realm tried to introduce modern day elements in a old fantasy game, such things included modern day cigars and liquor, in one of the missions in the game the reward was called god of tabaco and liquor.

    It meant that one would have an unlimited supply of modern day cigars and liquors brands at his disposal. The items holding these goods were two large walk-in bank safes and inside of them were different door that led to each specific need.

    From vodkas to brandys, from cubans to chinese tabaco. Laughing at the old mans reaction Long Ye couldn''t help but marvel to himself at his ingenius plan. The cigars he presented to old man su were nothing but cheap bundle cigars cost only $20 USD for a pack of a hundred cigars in todays market.

    The name of the cigar he is currently smoking is called the ''The scorn woman'' and the whiskey in the glass bottle is none other than ''fighting cock'' bourbon which goes for $15 USD a bottle.

    After puring a a cup of bourbon Long Ye sttod up and said to Old man Su "ok old man im done, oh and these things are all yours now, in the bottom of the box is a beastking sheet with the instructions on how to light and smoke the cigars, also this box is a little bit special. It''s outfitted with a spacial dimension array like a spatial ring so you will not run of smoke or liquor for at the very least hundred years. the array is activated everytime you close the lid after putting everything back to they''re original position, and this box is called a humidor it''s sole purpose is to hold,cure and carry cigars and the need accesories, alright im out for a bit , take care."

    Sitting there with a dumb expression on his face Old man Su couldn''t believe it not only was this a rare the Divine red-crowned Ebony wood but it was also outfitted with a spatial array? This was way to much, all this for a cigar humidor. who in the hell is this young man and where did he come from.

    Long Ye walked swiftly out of the door. He looked up to see the sun starting to set a bit neaning it was nearing nightime smiling descided to walk in a a random direction, but in his mind what he was looking for the biggest and most populated bar in the city. Why you might ask? well the three things soldiers and mercenaries love are money,booze, and women.

    They fight for gold and spirit stones in ordee to get the other two, yup only the really expensive places took spirit stones but every places took gold, silver and copper taels.

    100 Copper = 1 Silver Teal

    1000 Silver = 1 Gold Teal

    100,000,000 gold = 1 Low Spirit stone

    1,000,000 Low Grade Stone = 1 Mid Grade Stone

    1,000,000 Mid Grade Stone = 1 High Grade Stone

    While walking through the streets, Long Ye was practically fleeing as he endured the burning gazes of the people. It seems like word has spread about his prowess, so people who were able to recognize were gossiping about him, and those who didn''t were to busy exaggerating the events that occured.

    As he made his way, he stopped a pedestrian and ask about the location of the best and most popular bar/restaurant in town. Without hesitation the man told him he was looking for the Liushang Pavilion and that if he kept walking in his current direction he would soon reach his destination.

    Saying his thanks Long Ye began walking, soon he saw something that looked like a old chinese mansion, he observed the flow of patrons walking in and out. shrugging his shoulders he decided to walk in with large strides.

    This restaurant was a multi-storied pavilion that was divided into three floors. The first floor¡¯s surroundings were filled with flora and fauna that were extremely pleasing to the eye, and since it was dinner time, the first floor was already packed with people and bustling with activity.

    following the stairs and walked swiftly up to the second floor. Compared to the first floor, the second floor was instead much quieter. Although many people were conversing, they intentionally suppressed the sound of their voices, as they were very conscious of their image. seeing as the second floor was also full Long Ye made his way up to the third floor.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

    As he entered, he was greeted by the Hostess. A beautiful woman in her late 20s who wore a dark red dress. In her hands was a beautifully crafted notebook, making one realize that it¡¯s not so simple at a glance!

    "Guest, please come over here." Before long, a female attendant greeted him and brought him to a nearby table. sitting down. He was seated nearby a large open window, that overlooked the city skyline. she gave the two a menu each as she was getting ready to go back downstairs.

    Long Ye said to the waitress "Bring me a serving of all the specialty dishes in your restaurant, and a jug of fine wine," Duan Ling Tian instructed."Yes." The female attendant respectfully nodded before turning around and leaving.

    In next to no time, good wine and delicious food were placed onto the table. "This restaurant is really special." Long Ye lightly smiled. He was nearly unable to hear any of the loud noise from the first floor while sitting here on the second floor, and everything seemed so calm and peaceful.

    A small portion of the surrounding patrons were discussing private matters, whereas the larger portion were discussing the most recent events, some were discussing him and his overly exaggerated exploits, so he naturally tuned them out and focused on other reports.

    One in perticular piked his interest. The table to his left and three tables down were talking about the ancient ruins that was discovered eight days ago, and how the seal will crumple in two days, so many elites and experts from the region and from others will be flooding the city.

    As he was listening a voice filled arrogance sounded out besides him, which in turned silenced the whole second floor of the pavillion.

    ¡°Who this fool who dare take my favorite table in the house!¡± Hearing such a loud and overbearing voice, Long Ye turned is head to see who it was.

    Standing there was handsome youth around twenty years old, who¡¯s black hair was swept back, his eyes were sharp and arrogant, making it seem as if he¡¯s looking down on everything. He wore a set of green grandeur robes that¡¯s embedded with actual gold along the edges with a few sets of jewelry.With a glance, one could tell that this youth was one of those arrogant young masters from those noble families!

    this youth, he was overflowing with arrogance! He didn¡¯t even put Yu in his eyes! Although he showed a slight interest towards the dishes in front of Long Ye he was more focused on kicking Long Ye out of his ''private table''. Behind him were a dozen or so experts dressed in similarly green martial arts clothing with leather armors. They emitted a faint dangerous aura that made anyone shiver in fear!

    With a glance Long Ye was able to discern that all these men were at the eighth level of the Mortal Profound realm and the boy himself was at the fourth level of the True Profound realm. Soon after he began his show many voices broke out

    ¡°When did Gou Ki  arrive"

    "Gou Ki as in the young master of Black Water City''s Gou clan?"

    "Yea it is indeed them, they possess an innate bloodline martial spirit Sacred Bright Tiger, because of that they are a bonafide noble clan and he is their successor."

    "Ai it seems like things are moving fast huh, if he is here that means all the other clans are begining to move as well"

    As Long Ye listened to these people, he realize why this little shit was so arrogant, but Gou Ki on the other hand was getting more and more impatient, so he once again roared at Long Ye.

    "Peasant, just because you can wear expensive clothes it does not mean you can rub shoulders with us noble clans, now beat it before i have my man break both of your legs and have you crawl back to your montheran..."

    before he could finish another voice sounded out and drowned him out,"Why does everytime i see you, your always yelling and behaving like a three year old brat?"

    as those words were spoken another strange occurrence suddenly took place. At that moment, everyone was experiencing a strange feeling, as if a river of blood had descended, bringing an incredibly bloody aura toward them, along with a sense of agony and bloodlust.

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed slightly, as they noticed the owner of that voice, within their view, a bulky young man made his way up the stairs. His shoulders were swinging up and down as if a fierce tiger was springing down from the mountain. Behind him was also a group of men, but they were all wearing blood red clothing and theyre aura was feircer then those of Gu Ki even though they''re cultivation were more or less equal.

    this muscleman¡¯s cultivation base had surpassed Gu Ki. He was at the eight level of the True Profound realm, four levels higher than Gu Ki even thought they were around the same age.

    And soon again another round of clamor broke yet again, this time they were gossiping like school yard girls upon seeing the figure of their crush walk past them.

    "Look it''s Hu Da of the Hu noble clan from Flying Hill City!!!"

    "Oh my god what is that maniac doing here?"

    "Maniac? why do you say that?"

    Another voice suddenly snapped at the previous man who spoke out saying "Are you retarded? the Hu clan is a noble clan with inherited Martial Spirit, theres is the Blood tiger. Not only that every man from the Hu family must serve in the military, hence they are a full fledge militaristic clan."

    looking at the man in front of him Long Ye once again took note of his background, but soon lost interest in him. But it seems like those two had history..No they had grievance, and sure enough Gou Ki snapped at the muscle-man

    "Hu Da what are you doing here? why don''t you go to the stables and enjoy the mare they have down there you stupid brute"

    The muscleman whose name appeared to be Hu Da let out a laugh, his face full of disdain after hearing these words, ¡°Loser, stop talking bullshit. If you disapprove of my actions, then step forward; I¡¯ll grant you your death with just a slap!¡±

    As he spoke, a ferocious aura started to grow. Hearing his reply Gou Ki felt humiliated but he knew he was no match for him, not only was Hu Da was more powerful he was also more ruthless than him.

    Gou Ki¡¯s expression was even more twisted; instead of showing some respect, this Huang Long chose to slap him on the face in front of all those he viewed as peasants.

    Despite that, Gou Ki did not dare to move, as Huang Long¡¯s cultivation was indeed four layers higher than him. If a fight broke out, he did not have the confidence in himself.

    took a deep breath. With a sudden flicker in his eyes, the cold expression on his face disappeared as said in a cold tone to Hu Da "I will remember that, and one day i will pay you back for this humiliation a hundred fold"

    Snorting at him Hu Da no longer paid him any heed but as he was about to walk past him and his group, a sudden deep,cold and freezing aura drifted into the hall. Multiple sets of gentle, light and rhythmic footsteps could soon be heard making they''re way up the stairs.

    Everybody but Long Ye were standing thare in anticipation, why? because one must be considerably strong to affect the tempature like that and not many people practiced ice based techniques in this kingdom.

    Those that do never obtain a realm as high as this one. And also everybody here knew of one family who could do it, yes only one family not only practice ice attributes cultivation techniques extensively the Bing noble clan.

    With bated breath, a group of women made they''re way up the stairs also, and every single one of them had skin like ice and bones of jade, cherry red lips,their full and waterfall like black hairs hung down freely accentuating their flawless features even more.

    Any of them could be considered extraordinary precious beauties in the world. Most of the top ten beauty of the Wild Dragon kingdom, had almost always came from Bing clan as well! Just speaking from this aspect, the Bing clan was undoubtedly a paradise that men craved even in their dreams!

    But because of they''re cultivation technique and way of life, most men would end up dead upon performing copius activities with any of them. The only way to mate with a memeber of the Bing clan would be to posses similarly ice attribute martial spirit, and to posses the absolute Ying or absolute Yang martial body.

    The Ying or Yang martial bodies are incredibly rare, and those who posses them are cultivation addict monsters, so if known by they''re faimly elders, getting them to come to the Bing clan was only wishful thinking.

    But in history there are those who choose not to listen to the warnings of these ice beauties. It wasn''t a secret a few hundred years ago a foolish prince''s eyecaught fancy of a young woman from the Bing clan.

    He tried any and all methods possible to get her but to no avail, he was a strong Tyrant Profound realm cultivator, he was handsome and on top of all a prince. Mad with rage at a banquet held at the palace he waited for the right opportunity, where he caught her alone. He forced himself upon her, but things did not go as planned.

    As soon as his spear parted the waves despite her begging him to stop, he immediately felt his meridans frezing up, soon his entire body was freezing up from the inside out. In less than twenty seconds he became an ice block, and shattered into millions of tiny pieces.

    Thinking he was about to enjoy a night of delight he set up an observation chrystal in the corner of the room in order to record his act, when he died the Bing clan girl ran back to people of her clan who were present in the banquet soon all madness broke through.

    The royal family had to compasate the Bing clan heavily, and the observation chrystal destroyed, but word got out eventually and soon the Bing clan women became known as the untouchables.

    There was a total of twelve woman standing in front of the crowed all dressed in snow white clothing, and in front was another young woman around the age twenty years old, even in a crowed of city toppling beauties she stood out like a sore thumbs.

    Yes she was at the level of nation toppling beauty, setting herself apart from her counterpart. Without word s or a sound they walked past the group of people and made the''re way towards the table in the back of the room .

    And just like moths to the fire, all men present were staring ang drooling. All except for Hu Da, his men and Long Ye had their soul stolen by the captivating beauty of these woman.

    In Hu Da''s case he was swayed and stared a for a brief moment before regaining his composure, his men all so did the same, but in Long Ye''s he saw, shook his head and started eating his food again.

    The rest Gou Ki and his men included, were lost. like sheep to the slaughterhouse. Someone in the crowed somehow regained some brain cell and said lightly.

    "Such beauty, such elegance, who are they?" Another man also regained his sense and responded in a ferevent toneand said out loud

    "You idiot that''s miss Bing Fan of the Bing noble clan from Jade snow City. They also possess an innate bloodline the Glacier Snow Wolf"

    "Ohh so that''s the famous ice women huh, Oh man they are even more beautiful than the rumors say"

    ¡°Wahh, the women from the Bing clan are certainly quite nicel. I wish I could find a wife like them.¡±

    As they say men will be men, whithin seconds every men were talking about those Bing clan females. who were going were indeifferent to anything happening around them

    The Bing Clan was a very special noble clan. The Inherited Martial Spirit that appeared in the women was a top grade one and it only appeared in women. Thus, in their clan, the women reigned over the men.The men however also had an inherited martial spirit low as it maybe but nonetheless they chose to fought for glory on the battlefield as a way to make a reputation for themselves.

    Then Women were born with ''White Glacier Snow Wolf''. While the male were born with the ''Gray Swit Wind Wolf'', in the Bing Clan even though women ran the show, they heavilly counted on the men to take care of the other necessities.

    While most men were not happy with women controlling they''re live or even bossing them around. In the Bing clan however there was a balance, women respected and cared for they''re male counter parts, the male loved, cherrished they''re women.

    All men in the Bing clan would die without a moments hesitation for the women of they''re clan. It Is often said that women of the Bing clan can only be themselves around the Bing clan males, that''s why since long ago ninety-nine percent of marriages of the Bing clan women would be to the men of the Bing clan.

 Dominate all

    While talks about who''s who, where they''re from continued as more and more geniuses entered the third floor, Long Ye actually started caring less and less.

    As for that overbearing Gou Ki, after being humiliated by Hu Da he didn''t want to draw more attention to himself and to also lose more face than he already did, besides each individuals who walked in had higher statuses than him.

    In the Wild Dragon kingdom there was a total of a hundred eighteen Noble clans, and the Gou clan was ranked a hundred eighteen. So out all of the Noble clans they were ranked dead last.

    So when all those elite of this generation walked in, none of them made a fuss about they''re tables. None was throwing a tantrum about an absolute nobody sitting at the best seat in the house.

    So who was he to make a scene, so he swallowed his pride and found another seat all while thinking of a way to pay this nobody back, and wash away his humiliation.

    Long Ye on the other hand again kept on eating, he didn''t have a care in world. As the bustle and hustle on the floor started getting more and more busy, some of the patrons started leaving in order to make space for those noble young masters.

    but Long Ye kept on eating and sampling the dishes, after all he did order everything on the special menu, so he had to eat over two hundred different dishes. Yet despite reaching his twenty third single plate he wasn''t even 1/4 full yet.

    Some of the noble young masters and mistresses kept on looking at him in awe, very few threw in a look of contempt. In the world of cultivators food was another source of fuel.

    And by cultivating, they naturally crave more food.So it wasn''t weird to see cultivators eating more than two to three times they''re body weight at all.

    But in Long Ye''s case his appetite was simply outworldly. Suddenly using his senses Long Ye was able to sense a group of people walkimg up the stairs, yet no sound could be heard.

    Soon thereafter the figure of an old man in his late eighties was seen coming up the stairs. He was an old man with a large body frame, even under his clothes one can still see his rippling muscles, he also had a long beard.

    His eyebrows were thick and his eyes were sharp and had very serious air to him. After a quick scan of the entire room he suddenly frowned as his eyes rested on Long Ye''s figure for a good while.

    After a few seconds a clear voice filled with charisma and authority, sounded out from behind him.Yet it didn''t sound overbearing or spoilt in any shape or form of way, oddly enough it was filled with caring and affection.

    "Uncle Fu what''s taking so long?"

    After hearing that voice the old man turned around and bowed. His action clearly showed and highlighted how dedicated he was to his job,.

    "Young master i old Fu apologizes for my action, but it seems like all the tables are filled up, please wait a minute and allow i this servant to make some space for you and the young miss."

    As he was talking the figure of a young man is face was handsome and elegant with long hair that extends to his waist he also wore a white robe. His body felt light like sand without any hint of sharpness. He was like a gust of wind or a natural fountain.

    However, his eyes  yellow eyes shone like stars in the night sky. It was almost as if he could pierce through one''s soul with his gaze. But despite this his attitude was not overbering nor was he leaking any bloodthirsty aura, no a smile that instantly uplifted your mood was etched on his face.

    His clothes were made of the finest silk imaginable, they were also threaded with gold. Without a doubt, this young man was no scrub, he had a great background.

    Right behind him was another beautiful young woman around 20 years old, wearing a fiery red horse riding corset.that this girl was just perfect, her beauty was beyond comparison.

    Especially her jade white face, it was a portrait of beauty! The only negative thing he could pick on was that the girl¡¯s countenance was cold not like the Bing Fanand the other women from the Bing clan who were akin to that of a ice princess, She was cold as if totally uninterested in anything going on around her.

    And right on cue a member of the flock of young master''s by the name of Zhou Gongjin stood up and bowed, after which he stood up staright and held his right fist in his palm before saying

    "Gongjin pays his respect to young master Hyou Kai, and young miss Shi Changying." After his steller ass kissing every eyes in the room turned to the recent arrival, some of the young masters began to whisper to each other.

    "Hyou kai, you mean the second son of the wind marquis Hyou Zhen?"

    "Behind him is his wife Shi Changying, holy s**t she is as beautiful as always"

    "She is indeed very beautiful third only to the third princess and Bing Fan but still how come she is Hyou Kai''s wife? her background his shrouded in mystery, there are no noble families with the name Shi and there no outstanding families with that name either so where did she come from?"

    "True, the four marquises have incredibly high requirements when it comes to marriage, but from hat i''ve heard, she was brought in the Hyou household by the wife of the marquis, and at the age of twelve it was announced that shel is his betrothed. Not only that she is a true cultivating genius not any lower than Hyou Kai."

    "That''s insane!! Oh lord the madam of the Hyou household has indeed incredible wisdom"

    "Yea, i mean she isn''t known as the female saint of wisdom for nothing, she seemed to have everything under control, the nightmare of all scheming nobles, even King had to take her seriously."

    "Seriously? even the king?"

    "Yes, some sources say he even goes as far as calling her ''elder sister'' even in public and acts like a little brother too."

    "Eh!!"

    "Well that shouldn''t be to surprising, i mean she is known for her tough as nail and no nonsense attitude, not only that her father is the now retired military advisor of the previous king Tong Xinling and her mother Ji Yanran is the former grand tutor of the previous king. Not only that madam Tong Huizhong was also the tutor for the current king from the age of four till his ascend on the throne."

    "HOLY S**T"

    "What you didn''t know?"

    Ignoring all the whispers and comments Hyou Kai patted the young man''s shoulder and with a smile on his face he said "Hahaha come,come don''t be so courteous here or i will feel embarrassed, sit down and enjoy your meals, we are all equals here hahahaha."

    While all this is going on Long Ye was observing out of the corner of his eye, from what he saw this young man was not faking his attitude nor was he putting on a front, he meant everything he said.

    Smilling he than took a look at the girl besides him, she was indeed very beautiful, but again Long Ye wasnt the bit swayed by her looks, he knew if he wanted to get his rocks off he had two options.

    One he could visit the local brothel, and paid a sum of money and enjoy all the women in there should he choose to, after all he possesses an infinite amount.

    And option two is that he can just create a woman with his puppet skills, and she would be exactky to his taste, from personality, body type, and sexual preferences, so he wouldn''t waste his time with those young mistresses of noble families.

    Noticing his gaze, the old man behind the duo looked over to Long Ye, at first he thought that he would be like any other young masters who were thinking of dirty thoughts, with Shi Changying as they''re main point of focus.

    But to his shock, the young man in front of him had clear eyes, one that emited no such thoughts, he looked at her for a brief seconds befire turning his eyes to the old man, and after another short seconds, he turned back to his food without a care in the world.This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

    "What was that" thought the old man, he couldn''t beleilve what his eyes were seeing, young man no less than twenty years old, who is already at the level four Earth profound realm at his age was without a doubt a heavenly genius of a big family, one that would of been spoiled to no end in his family, yet was neither arrogant nor lustful even after seeing a country destroying beauty like Shi Changying.

    When he walked in the room he had already taken notice of Long Ye, after all he himself was a level three Spirit Profound realm cultivator, so could he not notice him. After all Long Ye was the second strongest person in this hall besides him.

    After turning around Hyou Kai saw old man Fu looking at Long Ye, he saw how the table he was sitting in had four empty chairs and how all the other tables were full.

    He walked over to where Long Ye was sitting cupped his hands and said "Brother i apologize, but are these seats taken? if not would you mind if we sit with you?"

    Looking up at the friendly, and smilling Hyou Kai Long Ye said "nah they''re free and no not all, please sit down." after saying this Long Ye decided to take a sip of the wine he ordered.

    Seeing this Hyou Kai pulled up a chair and sat down, Shi Changying did the same followed by the old man named Fu, while kept on looking at Long Ye suspiciously, Shi Changying didn''t even bother to say anything or even looked at him for more than a second.

    Lu Kai on the other hand, decided to chat with him, after all he was imposing himself and his people on this young man''s table, the very least he could do was to have a little chit chat.

    "Brother my name is Hyou Kai, this is my wife Shi Changying, and this my trusted servant Fu Tei but i call him uncle Fu since he''s been with me since i was in diapers hahaha"

    While he introduced his people, the girl Shi Changying only noded her hand,while the old man put his hands on his chest and made a quick nod of his head.

    Seeing this, Long Ye nodded back and said "my name is Long Ye, i''m fifteen years old" after saying that he took another sip of his drink, but after his second sip he looked at the wine, a bit of distaste was evident on his face.

    Laughing a bit after seeing his facial expression, Hyou Kai said to him "Ehh fifteen years old, well brother Ye don''t mind it, after drinking more and more you will naturally develop a better appriciation for wines. Oh would you mind if i call you brother?"

    Hearing Hyou Kai''s words Shi Changying smilled a bit, it was the smile of an older sister after seeing her little brother doing something silly. Somehow after seeing Long Ye and his i don''t care about anything attitude she kind of felt a little bit at ease around him, because of her background she was used to staying alert for long durations of time without giving herself a single moment to relax in public or even around people in the Hyou household.

    The only times she was at ease were around Hyou Kai, his mother and uncle Fu. Therefore, she had become accustomed to remaining on perpetual guard long ago.

    As for unlce Fu, his mouth was agape, it formed a perfect "0" shape, it was wide enough to fit two eggs in. after a brief moment he closed his mouth snd scratched his ears.

    Long Ye put down the cup and shook his head beofre looking at Hyou Kai and said. "It ain''t that, and yea i don''t mind at all since your older than me i will call you older brother than."

    "Sure no problem, and what is it than? is the wine not up to your satisfactory?" In his heart Hyou Kai was a bit pleased, most people he met were all trying to curry favors, all were scheming and all had a goal in mind.

    Since he was born as the second son of an influencial family he was used to people talking to him like was a noble they all used honyed words to leave him a good impression of them, while they''re vile thoughs ran wild.

    but not this young man in front of him, No his eyes were clear, his face was indifferent like Shi Changying, he went at his own pace, and most of all despite knowing who he was, he spoke as if they''ve been bosom buddies.

    He never felt like that, not even with his fellow young marquisses, even though they''re families were of the same ranks, he felt like they''re kids they were always competing with each other, and that he could never let his guard down around them.

    There are five Marquisses in the Wild Dragon Kingdom, the title of marquis was past down from generation to generation, their origin dates back to the founding emperor.

    The first five marquis were the most trusted generals under the first king, and after uniting the kingdom and declaring himself king, he nominated those five as his marquisses.

    those five houses went from members of the hundred-twenty three noble houses, and rising up to the five marquis houses, hence reducing the number of noble houses down to hundred eighteen.

    The Five Grand clans are the Hyou, the Mou, the Feng, the Yue, and the Duan. And like every noble clans they all had hereditary martial spirits, the Hyou family''s martial spirit was a ''White winged Roc'', the Mou family''s spirit on the other hand was a ''sword'', as for the Feng family they''re martial spirit a Demonic purple flamed Phoenix.

    When it come for the Yue family they''re martial spirit was Ancient silver Mamonth, and finaly the Duan clan, they were the weirdest out of all the five great clans because theyre martial spirit is a ''Black horned snake''.

    Every martial spirits have unique abilities, and in turn allows they''re weilder to use those abilities. In the case of the Duan family they''re martial spirit has three unique abilities.

    One is being totally immune to most poison known to mankind, second is the ability to cultivate, use, paractice poison cultivation, and martial arts techniques which is the absolute terror of all practitioners as fighting them was always life threatening.

    The third is they also posses the Moonlight shadow Blessing, which in the dark it doubles their speed, strengh, vision, and recovery from any and all injuries so long ast they''re not dead on spot. They can also blend in the shadows and travel in them.

    But what truly sets them apart is practicingpoisonous cultivation method since it is very dangerous even go as far as idiotic, because while doing so you can poison yourself. So in order to counter that phenomenon one must eat and develop complete immunity, or enough resistance, against several types of poison.

    Which takes time, resources, alot money and for what for a ''maybe'' so many powers shy away from using them. But not the Duan clan, they perfected the poisonous cultivation methods.

    They also went as far as taking in people with snake martial spirits, and make them change they''re name to ''Duan'' they are provided with cultivation resources and money, in turn they swear allegiance to the Duan family for life and their descendants too.

    By doing that many Duan clansmen posseses variant snake spirits but the main branch all have the ''Black horned snake spirit, on top of that the Duan clan controls the alchemist union as many of them are aslso alchemist

    After a brief silence Long Ye responded "I don''t want to sound conceited or anything like that but, yea it is not to my liking at all, the wine is way too harsh." Sighing Long Ye picked up the still full clay pot of wine and said to Hyou Kai

    "Brother Kai if you want this pot of wine is all yours." Without waiting for Hyou Kai to respond Long Ye stood up, plaed a high grade stone on the table and walked towards to stairs.

    Before he could reach it, Hyou Kai''s voice broke out from behind him "Brother Ye i will be staying at the ''snow peak inn'' if you have some free time before the ruins open up maybe you can stop by."

    Looking back at him Long Ye nodded his head, and walked off again. Some of the people in the hall started talking about Long Ye and his ungratefull attitude.

    But Hyou Kai and company had different thoughts about this young man named Long Ye, Hyou Kai could not read his cultivation level, but judging from the aura he emitted he absolutely was a cultivator, not only that he so nonchalantly took out a high grade spirit stone like it was a mere pebble, so they too began talking amongst themselves.

    "What an interesting fellow, hahaha what do you think about him Ying''er?"

    An extremely gentle voice akin to the wind ruffling a teenage beauty¡¯s hair rang out nest to him as she answered him in a low voice "Yes he is indeed interesting, he did not even care about your background, nor was he trying to kiss up to you. He even more so he did not even lose his composure after seeing me, all in all he is indeed diferent from those spoiled young master"

    "Hahahaha right, but still i wonder if he has some artifacts on him that allows him to mask his cultivation level from others, because i could not see his at all"

    Nodding her head Shi Changying agreed with him, but on the side uncle Fu broke thir theory up to smithereens by saying out loud. " fourth level Earth profound realm."

    Confused Hyou Kai and Shi Changying both looked over to the old man, before Hyou Kai asked him. "What''s that uncle Fu?"

    "That kid, his cultivation level is at the  fourth level of the Earth profound realm." Uncle Fu replied after a brief moment of silence, which shocked the entire room up.

    With a look of disbelief Hyou Kai once again asked Uncle Fu for confirmation. "Un..uncle Fu are you sure? are positive he''s at the fourth level of the earth profound realm?."

    With gloomy eyes, old man Fu Tei nodded his head twice, after a pause he than said in a low and gloomy voice."Young master, i know you are not the type, but please do not do anything to anger this youth. He is of mysterious background, with his strenght his backer is without a doubt one we cannot anger."

    Unknown to him that he became the center of attention after he left, Long Ye walked around Floating Cloud city aimlessly, every now and than he''d run into a few street prostitutes.

    Wether it was out of pity, or out a sense of kinship from his past life he''d toss them a few gold coins and tell them to keep them and that they did not need to perform any sexual acts.

    At first they were confused as to why this young looking noble would be so generous, and very quickly they''d be on guard against him. As street prostitutes their lives were always in danger, unlike those brothel hookers who had some sort of security blanket as the brothel had rules and regulations.

    But out here in the streets, it was a viscious cycle, some customers would get physical, others outright violent, and some would even go as far as killing them after the deed as been done.

    Many women had suffered, in a town full of violent, tough men who dance at the edge of lyfe and death day in and day out so in order to release their stress many street women ended up as corpse the next day.

    Seeing their reaction Long Ye shook his head and continued walking forward. so he noticed he was being followed by a group of men, maybe because of they''re numbers or they''re self confidence, but they did not bother to hide they''re intention at all.

    Seeing this Long Ye''s mouth curved into a smile, and without second thoughts he made a right turn into a dark alleyway, and waited for his persuers.

    Like clockwork, soon three men walked in after him, with a look of contemp, one thats seem to be the leader of this group smiled and said to Long Ye ''Hey would you look at that, the little mouse got corned, hahaha what you aren''t going to cry for mama now eh"

    Laughing after the men in from, another one said to him "Boy you thought you were hot s**t earlier when young master Gou Ki was ask you to move, now look at you"

    "Enough of this charade, you guys are going to be corpses in a few seconds anyway, i hope you guys had fun before coming here, because this is the end of the line for you chumps."

    Before they even registered what was said, a bright gold light flashed in their eyes, and just like that they all felt a cold sensation go through there necks, they opened theyre mouthes to scream but no noise could be made.

    When the light vanished all four were on the floor looking up at their bodies, as they stood there frozen, and headless a look of utter shock and desbelief replaced the overcofident one they were displaying earlier.

    With practiced movements, they were all stripped of their equipments, and valuable. Without as much as a look back, and a cold smile plastered on his face Long Ye looked up to the roof of the opposite building, before walked out of the alleyway before saying one word.

    "TRASH"

    As he resumed his walk around the city, and soon after he left a shadowy figure emerged from the roof, the figure stood there silently, from the way the tight fitted martial arts clothes contoured the body one could tell it was a ''SHE.''

    Her dark purple hair fluttered in the wind like the gentle sea waves, her face was covered with a black mask, but her eyes were wide open, and filled with shock.

    She stood there for a few more minutes before vanishing like the wind itself.

 State of mind

    Back at the snow peak inn, Old man Su had yet to move from his seat. Ever since Long Ye left he''s been smoking those so called cigars he was gifted while drink the Wine that accompanied them in the humidor.

    Since ancient china any and all liquor were called wine, from monkey wine to rice wine so on and so forth. Old man Su who his a descendant of the wealthy Su merchant family has tasted most if not all of the top wine of this continent.

    As a former top ranking general he had also rubbed shoulders with some of most influential people in this country, Wines, cigarettes, delicacies ranging from fruits, meat, you named it he has sampled them.

    But right now he was experiencing something he has never dreamed he could. These cigars were simply amazing, this wine''s aroma was easy on the nose, smelled a bit like wood but when on your first taste it was strong, not harsh but strong and smoky.

    This wine was clearly for meant for people who drink regularly, perfect for the rough and tough men on the front line, yet it won''t leave a bad after effect like most wines do.

    As for the cigars, upon heating them up or toast them like Long Ye said, right away you get hit with the smell of coarse chocolate and high quality tabaco.

    Then when you taste it, right away you realize how potent it is,a full body, deep deep tabaco and peppery. It has good kick to it not to hot but not to mild neither, like a camp fire smokiness.

    When smoking and drinking those two items together, it makes you feel at ease. They perfectly compliment each other, and old man Su could not get enough of it, he was already on his fifth cigar and wine cup.

    He simply was addicted to the feeling it brought him, a slight light headed yet lucid. Suddenly a voice sounded from mext to him again snapping him out of his deay dream.

    "Oh a cigar aficionado are we?"

    Quickly turning his head to see who it was that interupted him, Old man Su was once again speechless, these two are seriously definitely related to one another, shaking his head old man Su replied.

    "Nah, it''s my first time smoking this so called ''cigar''. But one thing i can say is that now im seriously hook on em''"

    Smilling Long Yi walked over to the counter, pulled up a stool and sat down. Sniffing the air he laughed a bit before saying to the old man in front of him.

    "Hahaha, ''scorned woman'' cigar and ''fighting roster'' huh not of a choice, they both compliment each other very well. Even if they are towards the lower end of the spectrum, they are both very fine choices nonetheless."

    "Yea they really do compliment each other very well and on top of.....Wait what say that again.." Old man Su was in the process of agreeing with Long Yi before his brain finally fully processed what Long Yi had just said to him.

    Without a hint of hesitation Long Yi answered him in a matter of fact tone, like that was your basic run of the mill information and not some great grand secret.

    "Yes, those two products are each on the lower tier of the spectrum, and hence are pretty cheap. For example one box of 20 scorn woman cigars is worth 20 low grade stone, and a vat of the fighting rooster wine is worth 200 low grade stones respectively."

    Shocked speechless once again, Old man Su sat there with his mouth ajar. Once again, these pair of grandfather and grandson had managed to do the impossible.

    Shaking his head. Old man Su replied to Long Yi saying "You call that cheap? that''s enough to buy you an army, heck with that you can get two armies with 50,000 men each."

    Shrugging his shoulders, Long Yi said "well 50,000 men but few of them would be experts, i guess but hey if you say so hahaha."

    Looking at the attitude of this man before him old man Su''s lips couldn''t help but twitch at his comment. So what if very few of them would be true experts.

    in the army a regular general would at best be a level two earth profound realm cultivator, and a newly sworn-in Great general would be at best be a level eight earth profound realm if he has enough merits.

    Does this guy think that experts grow on tress like fruits do. But thinking about it now, those two''s background must be magnaniimous for them to think like that, while thinking that Long Yi broke the silence by saying.

    "Speaking of which, i hope you don''t mind me asking but Ye''er told me that it seems like you were poison and that because of that your cultivation has been affected by it, i don''t want to be rude or insensitive but now that o take a good look at you it seems it is true."

    After hearing him, old man Su immidiately felt his nose turn sour, and pained look appeared on his face. Like the scabs over his heart has been peeled off.

    Seeing this Long Ye once again said "the reason i ask is because like me, you are a war pig, a man who lived for the battlefield, one who has sacrificed body and soul to face his enemies and caused his name to spread far and wide.

    So for me to see you wallow in this tavern, yet your soul still has that fire burning. My friend we are much alike you know, we are both swords, sharp and deadly swords, the only thing is i am in my scabard and you are on the verge of breaking apart, so i''d like to see if i can remedy that".

    The room got quiet, it was like a ghost town. Old man Su sat there with a blank expression on his face as Long Ye had his eyes closed, he seemed like he was not in a rush, just there waiing for old man Su to began speaking.

    After what seemed like hours had passed, old man Su picked up the second wine cup from the humidor and filled it before slidding ot to Long Ye, then poured some on his cup and began talking.

    Elsewhere Long Ye was walking around town, he was walking aimlessly trying to enjoy the night life of this town. Since in his old life he never had that luxury, everything he did was always controlled by others.

    Soon he realized he was standing at the city gate, he was going to turn back and make his way the inn but he descided to just sprint his way over to the next town over called Red Rose city.

    With a smile he walked out of the gates and in to the bushes. There he changed his clothes to that of traditional swordsman clothing with a leather armor on top.

    ''something like this (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1e/be/2a/1ebe2a1a901245d242396943f996c1c4.jpg)''

    And so he used a martial skill called ''crossing worlds'' like the name suggests its a movement skill that focuses on straight line sprinting, it is perfect for long distance runs and it consumes very little energy to maintain.

    Without time to enjoy the scenery, Long Ye was like a blur as he passed some of the travalers on the road. Both mercenaries and merchants didn''t even see him, just felt a breeze blow bye them.

    It was dark but not late enough for the cities to lose they''re gates, some cities like floating cloud closed their gates at midnight, other way earlier than that.

    But around these parts, since mercenaries are regularly active most town opted for midnight. In less than an hour Long Ye was already approaching the gates of Red Rose city, and as he made his way to the line he saw beds of red roses on bothe sides of the road.

    "Ehhh, i see why its called Red Rose city" said Long Ye as he admired the beauty of this magnificent display.

    "What is that the first time you''ve been to Red Rose city? what are you a bumpkin or something?" the voice of a woman which was as crisp as the bird¡¯s chirping yet with strong loftiness and disdain sounded out from behind him.

    After hearing that the people in front and behind him all begin the snicker, clearly they relished at others missfortunes so long as it''s not them than everything are ok.

    Using his spiritual sense, he was able scan his surrounding and had long sensed the group who was now behind him, there were four young women, and two young men all around the same age as him.

    The one who just spoke was the one leading the group, she could be considered fairly pretty. But not extreemly beautifull and not on the same level as the women Long Ye has meet so far anyways.

    Long Ye rolled his eyes, it seems like education in these lands are severely lacking and that anybody with a bit of background can be overbearing, so with that Long Ye descided to tell a white lie and get this over with since he had no desir to be mixed with these type of people.

    So without even turning around answered the woman. "If coming from Imperial city considers me being a bumpkin than yes i guess you can call me that."

    After saying that gasps could be heard as everybody in the vicinity heard him, they were all shocked at his comment. Calling those who lived in Imperial city bumpkin was like slapping ones own face.

    Even the poor who lived there had seen more than them, most major big clans had buisnesses there some even moved their entire clans there for more proffit.

    "Hmph, big words, from a dirty street rat, senior sister Murong don''t waste your breath on him"

    The voice a one of the young man in the group sounded out, he was clearly acting this way in order to earn the favor of the woman who spoke before.

    Long Ye shook his head before chuckling a bit at the young man''s stupidity. This young man is barking, yet he knows not the danger he is in right now.

    "Boy im a say this once, wheather or not you heed my advice or not is up to you. But know this is you follow it you may stay alive longer.

    ''Running your mouth off for the sake of a woman you fancy will only lead you to an early grave, the skies are grand and deep, you know not when an expert wil blend in a crowd of people, nor when a wolf will hid in sheeps clothing''

    With your fourth level nascent profound realm, you should not be shooting your mouth off so recklessly, OR SOMEONE MIGHT SHUT YOU UP PERMANENTLY"

    Long spoke to the young without even turning around neither, he sounded like a scholar yet as he finished his words he spoke in a grave tone and released a bit of his killing intent in order to prove his point.

    But to those around him, they felt like a savage hungry beast has oocked on to them. They could hear him, feel him breathing down their necks.

    Bloodlust was so thick that some lost they balance and fell on their butts, the girls were scared sh***less, they were sweating, one even began to tear up.

    The young whom Long Ye directed his words at was the worst off, as Long Ye had directed the greater part of his killing intent at him without any restraints at all.

    He was on A**, the pugent smell of amonia waffed up everybody''s noses as Long Ye retracted his killing entent, sighing at the group yet kept facing forward he said

    "Consider yourselves lucky, if you guys had met my brother here instead of me all of you would have been corpses long time ago, hahaha and to think father had wanted to send him here instead of me."

    Shaking his head Long Ye started to walk forward, and as he did the entire line made way for him. It was like moses parting the red sea, nobody even made a sound as he moved forward.

    Back to where he was, the group of young men and women stared at his departing back, this time there were no traces of arrogance in their eyes.

    They felt lucky that this young man had only given them a fair warning, not sliced their heads off. They knew that this world was big, and that they were insignificant in the eyes of some.

    But being raised in a backwater town, and having been from influencial families from that very same town had clouded their eyes, never would they have thought a big shot would come around here.

    As for Long Ye since he never put them in his eyes to begin with, hem could careless about what was going through their minds as he walked forward and oaid his toll of three copper coins.

    Upon entereing the city, there were various stalls and so on. But Long Ye kept in walking towards the center of the city, but he still kept looking around enjoying the busy streets.

    Soon he reached his destination, and that was the so called Central Plaza. It was filled with stalls selling vegetables, spices and other such commercial products.The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

    Amidst the crowds, the stall-owners energetically shouted their sales pitches to the people walking by, while the older women haggled with the merchants as they looked for fresh food.

    Drawn by fragrant scents, young men purchased skewers of roasted meat which oozed with warm juices. Others were selling clothes, shoes and so on.

    The rowdy, energetic atmosphere of this place seemed to have lasted from when the sun went up until the it went down, where ever you went it was busy.

    Since this was a night out for the heck of it Long Ye picked a random direction and began walking, as he so he was dodging the people who were about to bump shoulders with him as he walked against the flow of the crowds.

    He didn''t know for how long he did so but soon he reached a less busy erea on the road, it had few people walking around, because some of the peeple there were less than presentable.

    Looking around he was able to see some women past their prime, some were around 40''s others in their late 30''s. One could see that life and time had not been kind to them.

    They were dressed in cheap revealing clothes, some of them had lost thir original colors and looked faded as if they''ve been washed to many times.

    Looking to his right he saw two women standing there, leaning against the wall, they were wearing small clothes, showing a greater part of her legs and most of their cleavage.

    They also put some, no alot of cheap makeup on their faces and body but it poorly hid the bad skin and some the scars they had, it was a poor attempt to look prettier, but if one were to look closely at them you could tell that if raised in different enviroment the both of them would be beauties.

    The both of them had plump bodies, clearly showing signs of aging and lack of care to their bodies, if maintained properly they would''ve also had a voluptuous figures.

    Sadly life was not kind nor forgiving, instead they were here struggling day to day.

    Also because of the overwhelming amout of cheap make up and perfume used, amd on top of the poor hygiene of those around the street had a particularily unpleasant smell to it.

    The characteristic odor that emitted from the surrounding was that of people who haven¡¯t washed in months, mixed with strong odor of dried fruits.

    All in all very, very unpleasant on the nose. He threw a look at them before turning around, he had enough of this. He needed a change of scenery and fast.

    The women showed no interest or reaction as the young man''s action, they seemed very used to this reaction and also showed that they are pros at their jobs.

    Suddenly the Long Ye turned around before glancing at the street one more time, this time his gaze was feirce. Nobody knew why, those who were looking at him quickly looked away, they knew that this young man was dangerous.

    After making sure nobody was eyeing him, with a quick flick of both hands, one gold, one silver, and five copper coins landed perfectly inside the deep exposed cleavages of both women.

    Both of them had the usual dark black hair and dark eyes combed in a similar fashion, one had a wavy hairstyle and the other straight hairstyle. They stood there motionlessly, until they felt a cold sensation in between their breasts.

    They shuddered at the feeling, quickly looking at their bousom, they each noticed their gifts. They threw a quick look at each other before looking at the young man smilling at them. both of the women acknowledged the boy with a simple nod.

    Turning arond Long Ye started walking away, but a figure caught his attention out of the corner of his eye. As he stopped to take a look, he saw what was the figure of a man laying down on the floor.

    Curiousity took over his actions and he decided to walk over and see for himself. When got closer to the body his brows instantly tightened as looked what was in front of him.

    On the floor was the body of a young man around the age of sixteen, his face was sallow and skinny. Even his hair looked dry and was fully white, causing him to look pale and sickly.

    Due to the effects of prolonged malnutrition, his body was nothing but skin and bones, Looking at him he resembles more of a mummy than a live human being.

    Shaking his head Long Ye sighed, just as he was about to turn a round and walk away, a weak and feeble hand grabbed the edges of his robe.

    Looking down he saw a pair of bright blue eyes looking up at him, they were pleading for help. The boy opened his cracked and dry lips and tried to speak, but had no energy to do so.

    Due to straining himself he once again lost consciousness, scatching his head Long Ye walked out of the dark, wet and dirty alley-way he stood in front of it and scanned his surroundings.

    Soon his eyes landed on the two prostitutes from earlier, he quickly waved his hands in their direction in order to get their attention really quick.

    Seeing him do so both looked in direction, smilling he quickly sent a voice transmission to both of them saying "I need your help really quick, i promise i will recompense you"

    Without even thinking about it they both made their way to him. I mean this young man just gave them both gold,silver, and copper coins for free.

    He did not even touch them as much a hair on them, and from the way he acts and look, he would not need to do any sexual acts with them neither.

    They both knew that they are nothing but sewer whores, the lowest of the low. they are commoners who had to sell themselves for ends meat, a man like that could easily got to one of the more popular and clean brothels, why would he come here and taste this washed up Nth handed women.

    Not only that from their location They were clearly monitoring the mains street. Being night workers they had developped good night vision and were able to see the whole incident from where thet stood.

    It was clear to them that this young man had a good heart, if not at least he took pity on them and their circumstances. It touched them a bit, as low end prostitutes they had been abused till they lost all hope in humanity long ago.

    But it was breath of fresh air to see a young man with a caring heart. It didn''t take very long for the two of them to arrive by Long Ye''s side.

    "I''m sorry for disturbing you during your working hours, here is 2 gold coin each for your troubles."

    After handing them the money, the one on the left said

    "It''s ok yo have given us more than we could have hoped to make in 5 years, after that the both of us wil be taking a long break from this job so thank you young master"

    As she spoke the other woman nodded her head in agreement to the statement made by her friend, smilling at them Long Ye said

    "Alright than, and oh don''t need to call me young master just Ye will do, and please help me move this guy to another place im going to tey and help him before he dies also i''m going to need the cheapest and most discreet inn that is closer to here in order to do so."

    This time it was the other one who spoke "Close to here, going about a few blocks there is the, ''dirty harlot'' bar and inn, since base on the name you can tell it''s where we take our customers when working the streets"

    The other one also spoke up "We know the owner very well she will without a doubt help us but you would still need to pay a fee, but what ever you do there will be private and not a soul will find out about it"

    Nodding his head Long Ye was satisfied with the plan and said to the girls "Ok we will go with that than, oh what are your names by the way, i haven''t asked that yet sorry"

    the one wit the waivy hairstyle said "my name is Gao Cai, and her name is Hao Bi" after pointing at her friend, they walked around Long Ye and picked up the boy who was on the floor.

    Hao Bi lokked at long Ye and simply said "follow us" as they made their way towards the inn.
