Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1643

Chapter 1643: Chapter 834: Full of Punch (Part 2)

Xia Fuqu seemed somewhat surprised, but seeing Gu Sheng’s resolute attitude, she no longer insisted, merely smiled and said.

"Master Gu’s nobility is admirable. In that case, let’s bypass the Immortal Pool and proceed directly to the seal location."

The group walked along the edge of the Immortal Pool, heading towards the opposite shore. The water churned, and mist swirled around, obscuring their vision somewhat.

Gu Sheng walked amidst the group, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Bai Yu and Xia Fuqu.

Bai Yu’s momentary relaxation and gratitude, as well as his subconscious tension when Xia Fuqu mentioned the quota, were clearly captured by Gu Sheng’s eyes.

A thought emerged in Gu Sheng’s mind: It seemed Bai Yu and Xia Fuqu might have an understanding.

Xia Fuqu’s quota was initially intended for Bai Zhi.

If he agreed, it would instead make Bai Yu awkward. Xia Fuqu’s suggestion was likely a test and a way to go with the flow.

After all, bringing Bai Zhi here to restore her using the Immortal Pool was one of Bai Yu’s main purposes of this trip.

Gu Sheng understood but did not reveal it.

He withdrew his gaze and continued forward.

While the Immortal Pool was attractive, he was more concerned with the sealed Situ Qingfeng and any other possible secrets within this Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, in Central Province, Wanxiang Imperial City.

Being one of the most bustling giant cities in Central Province, the streets of Wanxiang Imperial City were wide enough to accommodate ten carriages side by side.

Shops lined both sides, towering buildings with flying eaves and dougong, demonstrating grandeur.

The streets were teeming with crowds, bustling with activity. The air was thick with the mixed scents of spiritual medicine, gourmet food, and spices, along with a unique vigorous atmosphere belonging to a big city.

Shen Qingtan, Gu Ningshuang, and Qin Yurou walked along the bustling street.

They maintained their plain appearance after disguise, wearing ordinary coarse clothes, mingling unnoticed among the crowd.

Shadow followed quietly like a real shadow, trailing a few meters behind them, his presence almost negligible.

"Wow! This is Central Province! It’s indeed much more vibrant than our East Desolation!"

Qin Yurou widened her eyes in curiosity, observing everything around her with a low voice of amazement.

"Look at that tower, it’s so tall! And those people’s clothes, the fabric is so beautiful! And those carriages pulled by spirit beasts..."

Before she could finish, a voice full of obvious mockery and disdain came from beside.

"Heh, where did this bumpkin come from? Acting like you’ve never seen the world, truly dirtying my eyes!"

They saw a few well-dressed, arrogant young men standing at the entrance of a lavishly decorated tavern.

The leader, dressed in satin finery, holding a jade bone folding fan, had decent looks but a face full of frivolity and arrogance.

He used the fan to cover his mouth and nose, looking at the three of them with an expression of disdain, as if they were something dirty.

Qin Yurou was taken aback by the sudden mockery, then blushed with anger, glaring at the brocade-clad young man.

"Who are you calling a bumpkin?!"

"I’m talking about you!"

The brocade-clad young man sneered, pointing his folding fan at Qin Yurou, then sweeping over Shen Qingtan and Gu Ningshuang.

"And you all! Three country bumpkins, dressed in rags, shouting on the Emperor City’s streets, utterly embarrassing!"

The followers beside him laughed along, echoing his sentiments.

"Exactly! Don’t you know where you are?"

"Hurry back to your impoverished countryside!"

"Stop tarnishing my master’s sight!"

Qin Yurou trembled with rage, about to argue back, but was gently held by Shen Qingtan.

Shen Qingtan’s eyes remained calm, subtly shaking her head to suggest not acting impulsively.

The brocade-clad young man noticed Shen Qingtan’s composed bearing; despite her ordinary appearance after disguise, her eyes were calm as water, exuding an unusual grace.

His eyes gleamed with a lecherous light, folding his fan with a fake smile, stepping forward.

"Tsk-tsk, this young master indeed misjudged. Although dressed plainly, this lady’s presence is... extraordinary indeed!"

His gaze swept between Shen Qingtan and Gu Ningshuang, filled with undisguised possessiveness.

"A meeting is fate. This young master sees you’re new here, probably without a place to stay. How about this: I have a few villas in the city with tranquil surroundings, perfect for young ladies to rest.

Just nod, and follow this young master; I promise you’ll enjoy the finest in Wanxiang Imperial City without ever needing to wear these rags again!"

His offer came with an all-too-clear implication, wanting to possess all three women.
