467: Killing chickens everywhere!

Speaking of which, Xu Sanyan had quite a bit of Destiny with Gan Country; Gan Country helped him greatly when he made his Breakthrough to the He Dao Realm, so it seems he'll need Gan Country's help again for his Breakthrough to the Saint Realm.

For some unknown reason, the Mad Daoist advised, "A Dragon Vein is different from others; it is the Foundation of a country, connected to its national fortune. If the Dragon Vein is damaged, the country will fall into chaos, the common people will suffer, and their lives will become unbearable…"

Lives unbearable?

They weren't his people anyway.

Xu Sanyan smiled, "How much better are things now?"

The disaster of Luan Yun Mountain affected several provinces and could not be suppressed. Countless common people suffered. Xu Sanyan witnessed many refugees during his time in Qian Province, and the misery was truly heartbreaking to see and hear.

He was someone who couldn't bear to see others suffer, so he sent the common people to eternal bliss.

The Mad Daoist shook his head and stopped speaking, only gulping down wine.

Xu Sanyan looked up at the horizon, in the direction of Gan Country's capital…

…

…

At the same time, several figures flew up from Siyuan Sect's Cloud Mountain, heading straight for the capital. Among them was Fang Qingge, who was widely recognized as the second-ranked young generation talent.

Because of Xu Sanyan's sudden emergence, he took away the first place that originally belonged to Fang Qingge, so he could only be ranked second. But fortunately, he didn't mind the false fame, as long as it didn't affect his ability to give his shattered true heart to beautiful ladies.

The Qian Emperor did not know that the capital was about to become the next place of gathering, where countless people, due to various Destinies, were rushing towards it. This imperial city, which carried countless stories, would give birth to new ones.

…

As the sun set, the pale golden afterglow shone on the rooftops, carrying a hint of lazy Concept.

Yang Qiyuan lay half-reclined on the rooftop, watching the setting sun gradually disappear, her mind lost in thought.

Tang Huanhuan rested her head on Yang Qiyuan's lap, holding a wine gourd and gulping down wine. Splashing drops of wine slid down the corners of her mouth and dripped onto Yang Qiyuan's graying thighs.

Yang Qiyuan felt a chill on her thigh and instinctively reached out to wipe it. Her fingers brushed Tang Huanhuan's neck unintentionally, feeling a long, narrow scar. Her eyes lowered slightly, eyelashes fluttering, and she casually glanced at it before retracting her gaze.

Tang Huanhuan opened her eyes, her expression dazed. From this angle, she could clearly see Yang Qiyuan's rounded jaw, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

This feeling came and went quickly. Tang Huanhuan quickly shook her head, dispelling these thoughts, and at the same time, a slight admiration arose in her heart… What a formidable woman, she almost bent her.

Yang Qiyuan was unaware that she had missed out on a perfect love. Deep down, she was still thinking of her husband.

During this time, she and Tang Huanhuan got along extremely well. The two women, meeting for the first time, felt like old acquaintances who had known each other for a long time, fitting together perfectly.

Tang Huanhuan was alone, and although she was used to it, she often felt lonely deep down. Yang Qiyuan's appearance filled this void perfectly, and furthermore, due to Xu Sanyan, the two of them also had some 'connection'.

Yang Qiyuan did not know the true nature of her relationship with Tang Huanhuan, nor did she know that they were actually 'sisters' from different fathers and mothers. She only thought she had made a good friend.

But Tang Huanhuan knew everything. Yang Qiyuan had not hidden her past, even telling Tang Huanhuan about what happened in Qi Country back then. This made Tang Huanhuan even more certain that this Xu Sanyan was the same Xu Sanyan from back then!

How did he Cultivate…?

Tang Huanhuan couldn't figure it out. Back then, they both befriended each other when they were nobodies, and at that time, Xu Sanyan's Cultivation was even lower than hers. But looking now, she couldn't even see his back; she had been left far behind. She was still struggling in the Foundation Establishment Realm, while he had already reached the He Dao Realm.

"Alas…"

"Alas…"

Both women sighed at the same time.

The capital examination had completely ended. Tang Huanhuan's results were good, and she was kept in the capital. She was now the Deputy Head of the Imperial Guard Bureau, a position only one rank higher than an ordinary soldier. In a place like the capital, where Dragons and tigers lurked, she still had to be cautious.

The Imperial Guard Bureau was responsible for guarding the capital, watching the city gates, and patrolling the city walls. There wasn't much to do, but the salary and power were not low. Tang Huanhuan was relatively satisfied; at least the money she had spent before had been recouped.

Tang Huanhuan checked the time, stood up, and wiped the wine from the corner of her mouth, "I'm going to work. You should stay in the capital for a while longer. It's too chaotic and unsafe outside right now. It's not too late to leave once things settle down."

"Mm, alright."

Yang Qiyuan did not refuse her kindness. In fact, she didn't know where she should go. She had left the mountain alone with a burst of determination but had failed to find her husband's whereabouts. Now, she could only let Destiny guide her.

Yang Qiyuan watched the sun set, feeling increasingly lonely in her heart.

Tang Huanhuan was a lonely person, and so was she.

"Husband… where are you?"

…

The streets outside the west side of the capital were bustling with activity. In the nearby lake, dozens of pleasure boats of various sizes floated, with many people going in and out, creating a lively scene.

It was still early, and most of the pleasure boats had not yet started soliciting customers, but some people were already impatiently stomping their feet.

Xu Sanyan stood on the shore, stroking his chin. He had arrived here as soon as he reached the capital, as if an inexplicable feeling guided him, like a vulture smelling carrion, following some kind of instinct.

Yang Qiyuan's husband, whom she longed for day and night, was about to explore this dangerous and unknown place, a place where death lurked everywhere, claiming tens of trillions of lives!

Under the lake, who knew how many lovely small lives were hidden, yet the foul-smelling 'corpses' were all covered by the pungent fragrance.

Actually, Xu Sanyan didn't want to come here. He always prided himself on being a 'gentleman,' so how could he come to a place like this?

But then again, as the old saying goes, since he's already here…

He then turned to the young man beside him and asked, "Greetings, brother. I'm new to the capital and not familiar with this place. May I ask what's special about this place that makes everyone look forward to it?"

The young man turned and looked him up and down. Seeing Xu Sanyan's handsome face and extraordinary demeanor, he decided to speak.

"Oh, just arrived in the capital? Then you've come to the right place! If you were to rank all the fun places in this vast capital, this place would be number one!"

The young man seemed to have thought of something, unconsciously licking his lips, "I guarantee you'll want to play a second time after playing once."

"Please elaborate, brother."

Xu Sanyan also became interested. He had experienced so much over the years, what hadn't he seen? When it came to the diversity of species, even Ning Caichen would give him a thumbs-up and respectfully call him 'Big Brother'.

In terms of identity, whether it was a Fairy, a demoness, an empress, a married woman, or a young lady from a noble family, a heroic female knight, or even Mo Qianqian, who was known as the number one beauty, he had tasted them all.

And in terms of species, he had never disdained demons or ghosts; he simply dared to try everything!

The young man probably saw that he was a kindred spirit and didn't hold back. He pointed to the pleasure boats in the distance and said, "These boats also have a lot of meaning. You see those boats with bamboo tags? Those are for ordinary women who use silver. Those with gold tags are for those who use Spirit Stones."

The young man then pointed to the three particularly large pleasure boats in the middle and said, "And look at those with auspicious cloud carvings on the boats—those are for people with status and position. If you don't have status, you can't get on, no matter how many Spirit Stones you have."
