Chapter 385: Chapter 384: Return to Chu Country, Long Aotian’s Arrival (Two Chapters Combined)
After reaching the coast, they circled around once more before heading directly back to Chu Country.
The entire journey was peaceful and uneventful.
Once they arrived in Chu Country, they were completely safe.
Chu Country is the territory of the Human Race, and the powerful beings from the East Sea’s Dragon Palace dare not invade.
According to his calculations, being in Chu Country meant safety.
In the Purple Mansion Realm, the Human Race is the largest race; the number of immortals who ascend and the powerful beings born are the most numerous.
The Human Race is also constantly engaged in internal strife, constantly fighting; but when faced with external enemies, they will fight valiantly to resist invasion. On the surface, the strongest in the Eastern Wilderness is only at the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul, not even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator exists.
It seems very weak, yet behind the scenes, who knows how many trump cards and powerful beings are stationed there.
Those who assumed the Eastern Wilderness was weak and dared to oppress and invade recklessly now have grass growing over their graves.
"We’ve returned! We’re safe!"
Lu Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, father!"
Ziyun True Monarch said, also feeling relieved.
During their journey across the great sea, she felt every step was a peril, encountering crises many times, yet she managed to find weak points in the interceptions, turning the impossible into the possible, breaking through the encirclement of various Sea Race beings and safely reaching Chu Country.
There was more than just luck involved.
There were also some unknown secrets.
She would not ask, but her gratitude was no less for it.
"Now that we’ve reached Chu Country, we’re safe. Keep a low profile as a priority. You will stay temporarily at Seven-Star Mountain, which has a Fourth-Grade Spirit Vein. Although its grade is somewhat low, it will be developed in the future," Lu Xuanji said, "For now, remain low-key to ensure safety!"
"We understand!"
Lu Xian said.
"Thank you, father!"
Ziyun True Monarch also nodded.
After some instructions, he brought the two to Seven-Star Mountain.
This Spiritual Mountain’s Spirit Vein grade is rather low, suitable for Golden Core Cultivators, but somewhat inadequate for Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Yet Ziyun True Monarch was pleased in her heart, feeling a sense of home.
She arranged the place properly, planted Spirit Medicines and Spirit Grasses, and set up the environment.
The atmosphere was harmonious.
Soon, the place became lively and bustling with energy.
The young couple also temporarily resided there.
Lu Xuanji did not disturb them and vanished, heading towards Purple Sun Mountain.
...
Waves surged on the East Sea.
Demon Beasts appeared on the sea; some transformed into human forms, others maintained their original forms, moving along the shores of Chu Country, constantly intercepting and sweeping.
They inspected passing ships and any cultivators, capturing familiar auras.
At Chu Country’s coastal position, a Treasure Ship hovered in mid-air.
Inside the Treasure Ship were luxurious carpets made from the pelts of Demon Beasts, appearing soft and delicate.
Inside the Treasure Ship were enchanting female demons, with graceful figures and skin as delicate as snow, with prominent and alluring chests, dressed in scant and transparent attire covering only essential areas.
They walked barefoot, dancing on the carpet, fluttering like Immortals, with their bodies swaying, displaying endless charm and stirring desires within the spirit.
At times, they were like peacocks displaying their plumes, at times like Vermilion Birds in flight, and at times like the deep moon; their dance was exquisite and graceful, showcasing the beauty of their curves.
Woo woo woo!
Beside them, there were human female cultivators, some playing flutes, some playing panpipes, some plucking guzheng strings, some beating drums; over ten instruments played in harmony, creating a rich, yet not chaotic sound, both melodious and captivating.
On the central throne sat a handsome man, his posture elegant like white jade, his features sculpted like a statue, with two dragon horns on his head resembling jade. His eyes were bright and penetrating, his brows like sharp swords, lying casually on his chair, composed and at ease.
On each side of him were two exceptionally beautiful women, one cold and pure like a lotus, the other proud and cold like a plum blossom.
Each had a different flavor and charm, revealing various kinds of allure.
"Stop, stop!"
The handsome man spoke, his tone a bit impatient, "You may all withdraw!"
The many female demons ceased their singing and dancing, bowed, and retreated.
"Boring, really boring!"
The handsome man spoke.
"Your Highness, that Ziyun True Monarch does not know what is good for her, unwilling to become your Highness’s concubine; later, we shall capture her for your Highness!" the cold woman said, her eyes, however, filled with tenderness, "Your Highness, a trap has been set here. How could they escape?"
The woman in red on his right also spoke, "Your Highness has the Candle Dragon Bloodline, noble and dignified, destined to become an Immortal, to conquer the Immortal Realm in the future. Making Ziyun that girl your concubine is a favor to her. Yet she refuses. When we capture her, we shall use severe punishment on her body!"
The handsome man said, "You overthink things! I, Long Aotian, am born extraordinary, with the bloodline of a king. An ordinary human mortal woman, I do not wish to take as a concubine. It’s just the Divine Water Palace trying to curry favor with me by sending beauties to my chambers. I could not refuse, so I reluctantly agreed!"
"But who would have thought that the human woman would refuse, truly ignorant of what is good for her. The human world does not know of my name, Long Aotian. Once we capture those human cultivators, I indeed want to see how foolish that human woman is."
"When a thousand years pass and I ascend to immortality, that human woman will only slowly age in the mortal world, realizing the benefits of knowing me, Long Aotian!"
