Chapter 154: Chapter 100 Overlord’s Bravery [Thanks for Subscribing and Supporting]
"It’s said to be evening, yet the sky had only just darkened, the west side of the city was a fiery red, created by harnessing the Fire Spring to craft an artificial afterglow, reminiscent of the residue of a setting sun."
Qin Ming looked towards Cui Chongxuan; he had grown taller, nearly indistinguishable from an adult man, draped in a shimmery suit of armor, exuding a somewhat heroic air.
The young Cui Chongxuan was accompanied by a graceful figure into the distance, chatting and laughing along the way, and that lady was none other than the long-unseen Wang Caiwei.
Seeing an old friend, Qin Ming naturally thought of past events.
"I feel like I’m a great injustice, resented by some within the Wang family, envied by Li Qingxu, and even Cui Chonghe is ungrateful. But I’ve only ever been sightseeing with Wang Caiwei once, and hardly exchanged a few words."
If he had strolled through the night with the Wang family’s legitimate daughter, appreciating each other, then that would be one thing, but so far, his impression of the noble lady from the Wang family had only been superficial, with no "past events."
As a result, all sides had reconciled, even the Cui Family and Li Family had ceased fighting, yet he still remained in a dangerous situation like before, still in dangerous territory to this day.
Some people did not wish for him to "rise," to return to their sight, preferring he stayed in some distant place forever. He shouldn’t shine too brightly, nor elicit any conversation.
Li Qingyue, listening to his complaints, consoled him: "Come, let me take you around and taste the local specialties."
Luo Fu City was vast, with ancient buildings full of a sense of history everywhere, such as the green stone towers, Black Gold Stone cast palaces, and so on, standing erect for a thousand years.
In the past, Luofu Mountain had a renowned reputation in Yewu World, being one of the major locations in Fangwai, and these ancient buildings were the product of that era.
Strewn with a sense of the passage of time, the Green Tower, and close to the Black Stone Palace, were bustling inns, taverns, Spirit Medicine Halls, and Weapons Pavilions, with people shoulder to shoulder, business booming.
"Many senior masters also like to visit these places, in search of the grandeur of Luofu from a thousand years ago," Li Qingyue, dressed in white, introduced those scenic spots.
The "afterglow" of the city’s west cast on her, her hair tips, the bright white side of her face, as well as her willowy and slender figure, as if bathed in sacred light, outlined in gold, making her seem even more ethereal, fresh and detached from worldly matters, like a fairy exiled to the human world.
"Try the dragon meat from Luo Fu City, the taste is rather good." Li Qingyue lined up at a clean stall to buy two skewers of grilled meat.
Qin Ming took a bite and said, "Fish? It’s very fresh and tender, with no fishy smell."
"Yes, it’s from Yulong Lake right up ahead." Li Qingyue walked with him along the streets of the ancient building district, approaching a glowing, blue lake.
Luo Fu City was home to Advanced Fire Springs, and even more so surrounded by a plethora of second and third-tier Fire Springs. Along the roadsides, there were even dedicated Fire Spring channels, resembling flowing magma, forming a characteristic scene.
At night, the Fire Springs were controlled to gradually dim and cut off from the channels, making the entire city not too bright, leaning towards hazy.
On Yulong Lake, people were out boating, and many boats transmitted the sounds of the zither, pipa, and mellifluous singing.
Qin Ming was slightly entranced; he’d been away from this life for over two years now and felt somewhat unfamiliar.
"Do you want to go boating?" Li Qingyue asked him with a smile.
"No need, boating with a distinguished Fangwai Core Disciple like you, I’m afraid we’ll draw a crowd." Qin Ming replied with a chuckle, shaking his head. He wasn’t reminiscing about the past, just a bit moved.
"Shall we eat something first, or continue enjoying the night scenery?" Li Qingyue asked.
"I’m not hungry yet, let’s just stroll around." Qin Ming glanced at the Spirit Medicine Hall, Book Pavilion, and Weapons Pavilion not far away, feeling somewhat interested.
Li Qingyue nodded, noticed his gaze, and said, "Luo Fu City has many Cultivators, and the goods sold in these buildings are quite good."
She led Qin Ming into a time-honored weaponry store. Although she appeared pure and detached, she wasn’t cold and unreachable, negotiating the price with the owner with a smile.
"I sincerely want to buy this flood dragon Armor, but your asking price is a bit steep, isn’t it?"
The plump owner was also very talkative, "Miss, in my lifetime, today is the first time I’ve encountered someone as fairy-like as you, dazzling in purity, but if you wish to talk about Day Gold, you’ll have to get tainted with the Red Dust Qi."
Li Qingyue was undeterred, she replied with a smile: "I am originally a person from the mundane world; if I were to detach from mundanity, I would lose my true self. For this flood dragon Armor, cut the price in half, then halve it again, and that would be about right."
"Hiss!" The plump owner gasped, "Fairy wielding a smart sword, your price slashing really is vicious!"
He turned his head towards Qin Ming, "Young man, if I were you, I would not even blink an eye, and without hesitation pay the Day Gold for the Fairy, to buy this flood dragon Armor, how can you let a fairy-like friend haggle like this by your side."
Qin Ming was unconcerned, "I think her bargaining is quite good. How about this, I’ll add one piece of Day Gold to the price she’s negotiated."
The owner wanted to frown. This set of flood dragon Armor was generally negotiated in units of a hundred pieces of Day Gold, and he thought: Do you have the nerve? Just adding one, growing so handsome yet being so stingy, you might as well have not spoken!
Li Qingyue said, "It’s not real flood dragon skin, probably it just contains a small amount of a flood dragon’s True Blood."
"Sister, you see, others are also buying flood dragon Armor," a young girl said to a youth beside her.
"Hm, choose whatever you like, I’ll buy it for you," the youth smiled. When his eyes fell on Li Qingyue, he was momentarily entranced, indeed a Fairy!
Soon, Li Qingyue negotiated the price, stuffed the flood dragon Armor into Qin Ming’s hands, and said, "The leather is extraordinary, and its Defense is very strong. Wear it when you get back."
The plump owner watched Qin Ming, with a look of admiration in his eyes.
The young man beside was petrified, his whole being felt off. Watching his junior sister picking out treasure armor not far away, he suddenly felt she wasn’t quite as beautiful.
