Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 432: I’m Not a Beggar, I’m Just Poor

Chapter 432: Chapter 432: I’m Not a Beggar, I’m Just Poor

After entering the city, Lu Xiao didn’t wander aimlessly but found a place resembling an inn along the main road.

Of course, he didn’t go inside to sit, but directly squatted in the corner.

This kind of place was best for gathering societal information and learning about local habits.

In less than half an hour, Lu Xiao had already eavesdropped on quite a few things.

For instance, the common currency here was Divine Treasures, both large and small denominations were made of metal.

Also, the cultivation levels here: a Heavenly Man isn’t called a Heavenly Man but a Mortal; from First-tier to Fourth Tier all were known as the Mortal Realm, Super Tier was Transcendent Realm, above Transcendent Realm was the Transcendence Realm, as for what was beyond Transcendence Realm, he hadn’t heard yet.

"The pressing issue is, I need to make some money!" Lu Xiao sighed. Without money, every step was difficult.

He couldn’t eat or find a place to stay.

Moreover, from his eavesdropping just now, Lu Xiao had vaguely gathered that the nights here were extremely dangerous; only by staying inside a building could one be safer.

As for why, it wasn’t clear.

"A beggar? Isn’t it forbidden for beggars to enter Xu Hai City?" Lu Xiao was pondering how to make money when a cold female voice came from behind him.

Lu Xiao immediately turned around, and then his gaze flickered slightly.

Wow, what a beautiful woman.

Yes, the woman in front of him, in Lu Xiao’s eyes, was not just pretty, but beautiful.

Just like a piece of art.

It even triggered the thought of admiration from afar, not to be trifled with.

Especially the cold demeanor about her, it wasn’t inviting, yet it evoked the desire to submit, to become her devoted follower.

Of course, Lu Xiao was only momentarily distracted.

His resistance to beautiful women had always been quite good.

"I’m not a beggar, I’m just poor!" Lu Xiao said proudly.

Upon hearing Lu Xiao’s explanation, the woman paused for two seconds, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Her laugh made the sky seem a bit brighter, the roadside flowers more vibrant, the grass in the pots as green as can be, and even the surrounding noisy crowd seemed muted at this moment.

Proclaiming your poverty so righteously, that’s new to me," the woman said after a few seconds, slightly lifting the corner of her mouth, "What’s your name?"

"Young master Lu Xiao, and you, beautiful lady?" As Lu Xiao gave his name, he also made his move... ah, not right, asked for her name.

"How dare you! What foul language is this?" Two guards beside the woman immediately scolded Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao glanced at the two guards, both were at the same Super Tier, also known as the Transcendent Realm.

However, Lu Xiao always felt that these two weren’t that strong; if it really came down to a fight, he could probably take on both and beat you until you cry for daddy.

"Stand down!" The woman huffed lightly.

The two guards immediately bowed and stepped back two steps.

"You are interesting, don’t you know me?" The woman continued to look at Lu Xiao and asked again.

"I don’t know, I just arrived in Xu Hai City today."

"I see, well remember this, my name is Han Yi Luo, ’Luo’ from God Luo."

Lu Xiao nodded, noting her name and the woman herself, who seemed like a wealthy lady, flanked by two Transcendent Realm guards.

"Since you’re poor, why not come to my place?" Han Yi Luo suddenly suggested.

Lu Xiao blinked, damn, do I have some kind of sugar mama fate? Back when I left the military and went to Hai City, Qin Youling took care of me, and now in the Divine Land, it happens again!

"This, might not be so good, after all, I’m not just any guy," Lu Xiao hesitated, his shy demeanor mixed with an allure of invitation.

"You’ll be a sparring partner and I’ll pay you; there’s nothing good or bad about it. If you’re willing, follow me; if not, just leave," Han Yi Luo said indifferently, her eyes showing a hint of displeasure.

You said you’ve just arrived at Xu Hai City, and you mentioned you’re poor, so I gave you a chance to make money. Yet, all you think about is dirty stuff.

"So it seems, I thought Miss Han Yi had taken a fancy to me."

"Tch," Han Yi Luo scoffed, do you think you’re some privileged son?

Reaching the First Level of the Transcendent Realm in your twenties is indeed talented, but compared to those real prodigies, you’re still lacking.

Not to mention Royal City or those more terrifying Holy Lands, even in Xu Hai City, there are already those in their twenties at the Third Level of the Transcendent Realm.

"So... how many Divine Treasures a month?"

Han Yi Luo blinked, wow, you switch topics this fast?

"Three thousand."

"Does that include room and board?"

"Included!"

"Is there disability compensation? I heard that being a sparring partner has a high disability rate."

"Yes!!!" Han Yi Luo answered through gritted teeth, deciding that if Lu Xiao said one more thing, she would no longer need this sparring partner.

The world isn’t lacking those with the First Level of Transcendent capability.

"So, what are we waiting for? Let’s go to your place and beat me up, trample me fiercely!" Lu Xiao declared with a readiness to face anything.

Han Yi Luo curled her lips, feeling that this guy didn’t seem very reliable.

But whatever, she couldn’t very well go back on her word.

Lu Xiao followed Han Yi Luo all the way to the Inner City before stopping.

The Inner City was different from the Outer City; there were few shops, no small vendors, mostly dominated by large mansions.

The environment was nice and also quiet.

The entrance to "Luo Mansion" was luxurious, and the steps at the doorway were tall, indicating a high status in Xu Hai City.

Lu Xiao was quite satisfied with this, as long as he kept his identity hidden, it might be easier and quicker to get information within such a prominent family.

Of course, there were also cultivation pathways.

The cultivators here obviously had a clear path; if he wanted to breakthrough, he needed first to understand the method of cultivation.
