Chapter 95 - The Snow City
“They’re so good-looking and with such high levels of cultivation too. How come we don’t have any disciples like them in our clans?”
“Look at that half-step Perfected Person. Her bone age is less than thirty. And the bone age of the other two is less than forty. Genius… they are super geniuses!”
The gray-robed young men suddenly had something in their mind.
A Perfected Person at such a young age was not heard of in any sacred ground. The other two girls of the Spirit Manipulation Realm were talented too. If they had been disciples of Clan Snow and Clan Wind, they would still be outstanding.
More importantly to the young men, the girls were so gorgeous and delicate.
What if women like these became daughters-in-law of their clans?
The gray-robed young men had strange expressions on their faces, and their eyes were filled with eagerness.
They didn’t dare to think further.
“Our clans have become less and less important in the Qingmu Sacred Ground. We need a number of highly talented women to improve the quality of our offspring…”
“But we first need to find out about their background! What if they are personal disciples of a sacred ground?”
“Hmph! Have you seen any personal disciples of a sacred ground that are not arrogant? These girls were traveling on a carriage! They’re probably just descendants of a certain clan. Let’s just seize the chance and take them.”
…
Li Mu didn’t care about their discussion.
They were just a bunch of day-dreaming losers.
Even if they were from the Qingmu Sacred Ground, there was no way they could survive under Li Mu’s sword.
“Let’s go!” The young man who was in charge closed the curtain and waved his hand.
Li Mu raised his whip, and his two unicorn horses walked towards the Snow City.
“Big brother, what should we do? They are talented and gorgeous! Especially the one with big breasts…”
The young man in charge was surrounded by the others.
“Go and find out where they live.”
The carriage entered the city and soon attracted the attention of most people.
It was a huge carriage.
Many people in the Snow City have never seen such a large carriage in their lives.
“It’s as big as a house.”
“Who would make such a big house to pull around?”
Ordinary people didn’t have money to build such a big caravan.
Rich and unordinary warriors didn’t need a caravan.
Wasn’t it faster to ride a horse?
Wasn’t it faster to just walk?
Could the carriage fly?
It wasn’t very practical.
The important thing was that in their eyes, only ordinary people needed a carriage.
If an expert travelled on a carriage, then he was doing something that undermined his own dignity.
“This carriage is so beautiful! I want one too.”
“What’s that shiny thing on the carriage?”
“That pinwheel on the carriage, I want it too!”
A group of six or seven-year-old kids on the street stared at the pinwheel on the carriage and couldn’t move their eyes.
The arrival of Li Mu and the girls not only enthralled those young men at the entrance of the Snow City, but also the whole city.
The crowd followed the carriage wherever it went.
At first it was just a group of curious children.
Later on, there were older people following the carriage.
After seeing the girls inside the carriage, some young men also began to follow the carriage.
There was no need for that gray-robed young man to send someone to check.
“A carriage?”
In the highest building of the city.
Two middle-aged men stared at the carriage from a distance, as it slowly moved down the street. Then the turned to look at each other.
One of them was as white as a jade. With a gentle face and a cyan robe, he looked like a middle-aged scholar.
The other one had narrow eyes and eyebrows as sharp as swords. He wore an ivory robe and looked like a chivalrous man.
The scholar was named Feng Xuan, and he was the promising offspring of Clan Wind.
At the age of 150, he had already reached the level of half-step Perfected Person.
“What a strange carriage! We haven’t seen a carriage carrying people in the Snow City for many years. Not to mention such big one too. Do you think there’s a certain master inside?”
There were warriors all over the Snow City.
Even the worst warriors were not willing to ride in a carriage.
It was a symbol of incompetence.
The strong ones didn’t even need horses. Bigger clans just used vultures.
“Can’t you just go down there and ask?”
“Forget it, masters don’t make carriages. But for such a luxury carriage, I’m not sure.”
Feng Xuan poured a pot of wine and laughed.
“But experts above the level of Perfected Person definitely won’t be doing something like that.”
They sat down and raised their wine glasses, talking and laughing with each other.
A pigeon fluttered its wings.
And then it landed in front of Feng Xuan.
Feng Xuan took the roll of paper from the pigeon and unfolded it.
“Genius?”
“Brother Feng, what do you mean?”
“I’ve told you. Don’t call me Brother Feng (it sounds like ‘breast enhancement’ in Chinese). It sounds awful,” Feng Xuan twitched his mouth to express his dissatisfaction. “There are three girls sitting in that carriage. All of them are geniuses. One of them is a half-step Perfected Person, while her actual age is less than thirty.”
“Hmm?”
The chivalrous man jumped up to his feet.
He stared at the carriage with much more interest.
“Hey! What are you looking at? Your eyes even stopped moving when you heard it was a girl.”
“Brother Feng, a genius! A half-step Perfected Person who’s less than thirty years old.”
“What’s wrong with that? I’m also a half-step Perfected Person.”
Feng Xuan said disdainfully.
“How old are you?”
“148!”
Hmm?
Feng Xuan was stunned by the realization.
Picking up the letter, he looked at it again and again.
“A 30-year-old half-step Perfected Person; could it be a mistake?”
There was no mistake written on the letter.
Could it be that the person who delivered the letter made a mistake?
He might have missed a figure.
She was actually 130?
“You just noticed that it was a girl. You missed the important information.”
The chivalrous man shook his head.
Compared to a half-step Perfected Person who’s older than 100, a thirty-year-old half-step Perfected Person was far more talented.
“If this is true, then could she be a personal disciple from a sacred ground?”
“They are not from any sacred ground.”
The chivalrous man shook his head.
Staring at the carriage, his eyes were filled with increasing eagerness.
It looked like he wanted to swallow the whole carriage.
“How do you know?”
There was excitement in Feng Xuan’s eyes.
“Since they’ve come to our Snow City, then they should belong to the city.”
Whoosh!
Feng Xuan’s figure disappeared.
The chivalrous man was left standing alone at the top of the tall building.
“What an eager person. Shouldn’t he at the least try to find out where they came from?”
Several large rivers pass through the Snow City.
There were also a few large lakes in the city.
The Green Willow Lake was located in the busiest area in the city.
In the middle of the lake was a huge island.
And on the island were many tall buildings.
Yiyi Parlor was one of the inns on the island.
“Weeping willow, it’s a good name. Let’s stay here today. The surrounding landscape is also good!”
The carriage drove over the bridge and stopped in front of the Yiyi Parlor on the island lake.
“Come in, please!”
When the waiter saw the carriage, he was initially surprised. But he managed to smile and welcome Li Mu and the girls from the carriage.
Meanwhile, everyone on and off the island were just looking at the carriage.
When the carriage stopped, no matter how near or far they were from the carriage, they still stared at the carriage.
Li Mu helped Tingting to step out of the carriage.
Chu Qing and Zhou Hua followed behind.
In the distance, two gray-robed young men watched. They said to the cyan robe middle-aged man beside them: “Fourth Uncle, it’s those three girls. What do you think?”
“They’re truly unpolished diamonds… very rarely seen. They’re good-looking and talented. Unfortunately, they’re not disciples of Clan Wind!”
Feng Xuan stared at the three girls, unable to move away his eyes.
“Fourth Uncle, do you have something on your mind?”
“Yes! They’re not disciples of our clan, but they can be our disciples in the future. Get several people to harass them, and then you step in to save them as a hero. It’s just three kids anyway. Without the company of other experts, sooner or later they will be taken by others.”
They were not disciples of any sacred ground, and they were just women.
They were the food, no, the gift from heaven.
How could they not want it?
“Fourth Uncle, it’s all old tricks.”
“Do you have any new trick?”
Feng Xuan’s eyes were filled with excitement again.
