She’s of flawless beauty, a breathtaking demeanour, and a Masterful zither performer. Honoured guest, you may wait for Mei Niang to begin her performance; maybe even have the honour of witnessing her perfect smile brightening the world.” Chen Changan waved her off, not interested in the least. He’d seen his fair share of knockouts on the Nine Province Continent. From the Heavenly Fox Clan’s Bai Yue, Hong Yi, and Ah’Miao to the Upper Realm’s Jiang Yuchan. All were beyond intoxicating with their beauty. Like they say, ‘you don’t take a dump where you eat. It never paid to worsen one’s workplace.] Now that he was out and about, with a fake look to boot, he was free to enjoy. “Let’s forget Enchantress’ performance for now and see to getting me ten pretty heartthrobs.” The girl gave him a long look and said, “Honoured guest, ten?” Chen Changan raised an eyebrow. “Do you think I can’t take them? Or that I’m poor?” Chen Changan gave her a bunch of Spirit Stones. “Is this enough?” He handed out 23 in total, thick with Spiritual Energy, bearing the aura of Top Grade Spirit Stones. All eyes snapped in his direction. Few cultivators in Dragonised City could throw so many Top Grade Spirit Stones around as he did. But seeing the average Chen Changan, none recognized him. They believe him to be an outsider. The girl stammered, “Honoured guest, w-wha…” “For you.” Chen Changan knew that healthy tipping in such places was a must. As the amazing and renowned Absolute Dominator of the continent, he could not be stingy. The girl took him to a room on the first floor on the spot. “Please wait a moment, honoured guest.” “Sure, but be quick.” The girl closed the silken drapes, giving a thumbs up and muttering, “This guest is loaded, but can he handle ten?” … “Honoured guest, a grape.” “Honoured guest, am I rubbing too hard?” “Honoured guest, you’re holding too hard and can’t breathe, meanie.” … Girls’ voices came from the room, sweet or coy, enchanting or intoxicating. Each was a Master in the art of seduction; their tones matched their actions, and the allure was breathtaking. Chen Changan finally got to experience the joy that Soaring Immortal Mountain could never offer. [I’d have a harem of three thousand too, if I were a monarch. Nothing beats heartthrobs tending to my every need.] One girl was rubbing his shoulder, and Chen Changan felt like putty in her hands. But all actions were limited to servicing him; nothing was inappropriate or excessive. He enjoyed the heartthrobs while eavesdropping on the chatting cultivators. Most talks were about the Continent Assembly’s events. Of some Upper Realm genius making a scene at the Continent Assembly, the cauldrons, and his disciple contest a month later on Soaring Immortal Mountain. The news travelled so fast, reaching even Dragonised City. He could feel the admiration and respect in every cultivator’s voice. Wonder what faces they’d make if they knew the object of their reverence was right now enjoying healthy services just above? “I heard the Upper Realm Immortals are here for the Nine Province Cauldron, to become the ruler of the Nine Province Continent and the Heavenly Dao Protector. What do you guys think? Will they appear at Senior’s disciple contest a month from now?” “Humph, those Immortals can try all they want to steal it from Senior, but all they’ll receive is a quick trip down under!” “And if the Immortals play nice, joining the contest? No Nine Province Continent genius could match their talents.” Another voiced. “What can we do? We must believe in our Nine Province Continent that there’s a genius out there who can take the Heavenly Dao Protector title before the Upper Realm Immortals do. By ruling the Nine Province, our lives will be at the whims of an Immortal.” “We must trust Senior to have a plan in mind.” “Yes, but why couldn’t he have become the Heavenly Dao Protector instead?” Chen Changan shrugged. He wanted to, of course, making his trips outside Absolute Domain far easier. His talent proved to be garbage instead, and he could not get the stingy Heavenly Dao to appreciate him. Not even Ling Bao’er and Foxy fit its high standards. He reckoned the same applied to all Nine provinces’ denizens. But most importantly, Chen Changan suspected that Heavenly Dao Protector was made for the Upper Realm recultivating Immortals. Alas, he had no way of confirming his theory. A clamour spread through the Misty Pavilion just then as A woman took the stage.
