377: [Kaminoya]

As a group of people crossed the street towards the restaurant, many noticed Jiang Yuan in the center of the crowd.

“He is Huaguo’s Jiang.”

“It’s him?!”

“Is that true?! Isn’t that just a little kid?”

Someone recognized Jiang Yuan’s identity, and a flurry of discussions immediately broke out.

Many people’s eyes burned with a hint of Battle Intent.

But most were curious, and from the women’s eyes, there was admiration.

“He’s such a handsome young man; is he really as powerful as the legends say?”

“A perfect face, and he seems to have a special charm that draws people in. I’m falling for him.”

“If he were my boyfriend, that would be amazing.”

Many female adventurers, with their fair legs exposed and fiery figures, made no attempt to hide their desires, staring intently at Jiang Yuan and licking their lips.

Another group of male adventurers was more interested in the opponent’s strength.

“Comparable to a Quasi-King… if that’s true, for his age, it’s simply a miracle.”

“Yo! The miracle boy from Huaguo, hahaha!”

“Hey John, watch your words. That’s too presumptuous towards a true strong one. Be careful he doesn’t come for you.”

“Hmph, I, John the Totem Warrior, am not easily scared! I don’t believe those rumors; rumors are all false!” The big man speaking took a huge gulp of alcohol, his body covered in dense tattooed totems.

“John, you’re just a seventh-rank Grandmaster Martial Artist. Perhaps for him, a flick of his finger could crush you.”

Without any shielding barrier, the words of these people clearly reached Jiang Yuan and the others.

Sikong turned his head and looked around.

Some eyes held hostility, others curiosity.

When he looked, those who met his gaze grinned, showing no friendliness, but rather a hint of provocation.

Some fiery-figured female adventurers sitting by the window even blew him passionate kisses.

“Murmansk… the atmosphere here is indeed very different from back home,” Sikong sighed with emotion.

“That’s right. Here, there seems to be no division between countries. Everyone is an adventurer, and only the strong earn respect,” Tang Bing said, also with emotion.

“An interesting place.”

Jiang Yuan was also somewhat interested, his gaze sweeping around. Both sides of the street were lined with various taverns, casinos, and shops.

Similarly, this place reminded him of the adventurer town outside the South River City Level 1 Abyss, which he first descended into. It was also so dazzling, with adventurers in groups.

The difference was the scale was completely different.

Any single adventurer here could wipe out that small town.

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look at Lin Qingyan.

She seemed to recall that time too, turning her head to look, their eyes meeting.

Jiang Yuan smiled.

Lin Qingyan, however, remembered their first battle, realizing that from that moment on, she had always lost, never winning once again.

Annoyance filled her heart.

The future Empress Qingyan turned her head, no longer looking at him.

“Thump-thump-thump-thump…”

A group of knights in silver-white armor were patrolling the street, solemn and dignified, with a powerful Aura.

Chen Xi was a little curious and asked, “That is…?”

Tang Bing: “Those are Murmansk’s City Guards, under the Holy Papacy. They are responsible for maintaining order in this giant city. Fighting to the death is forbidden within this city, and violators will be arrested by these City Guards and then expelled.”

“I see.”

Chen Xi nodded.

An Tianzong also felt the power of that group of silver-white knights. As for the organization ‘Holy Papacy,’ he had heard of it long ago.

It is one of the top five super-powers globally, based in the Nordic countries, with more than three King-level combatants.

Its previous Pope was even a Divine-Grade existence, and although he had disappeared for a hundred years, no one could guarantee that such an old monster wouldn't still be alive.

“Minister Tang…” Yan Runan hesitated, as if wanting to say something.

“Just call me Brother Tang,” Tang Bing said with a smile. “What’s up?”

Receiving the reply, Yan Runan couldn’t help but smile, her blue hair, fair skin, and an elegant yet elfin liveliness.

“Brother Tang, is there anything good to eat here?”

Yan Runan was as always.

“Of course. The ‘House of God’ we’re going to now has a rare eighth-rank chef, and the food he cooks is Peerless Grade.”

“Wow!!” Yan Runan’s eyes immediately lit up. “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go quickly.”

...“Ding-a-ling.”

The wooden door was pushed open, accompanied by the crisp sound of a bell.

“Welcome.”

A maid, covered in snow-white fur and wearing an apron, stood by, her emerald eyes smiling, her long tail wagging.

She was a genuine Cat Girl!

Furry enthusiasts would be ecstatic.

Jiang Yuan sighed with emotion again.

It really felt like arriving at an adventurer’s guild in a Japanese light novel’s other world… “A Cat Girl, it’s really a Cat Girl!”

Yan Runan was very surprised.

She had only seen similar special Martial Artists online, whose profession was beast-kin, and whose talent was related to transformation.

“I have a reservation for private room number 7,” Tang Bing said.

“Guests for private room number 7, right? I understand. Please follow me.”

The Cat Girl greeted them warmly.

As everyone followed the Cat Girl upstairs, “Shhh—” a whistle sounded from the second floor.

Sikong looked up.

Several people were leaning on the wooden railing, watching them with interest.

There was a white-haired youth, a burly man, a fiery older sister, and standing beside the three, a mage whose face was hidden by a green robe, and a blonde woman with a sword, wearing a golden robe.

“Hello, Huaguo contestants. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

The white-haired youth raised his hand, gesturing with two fingers, and greeted them with a smile, speaking in Huaguo’s language.

Lin Qingyan’s eyes narrowed when she saw the blonde female swordswoman.

It was her.

At this moment, the blonde female swordswoman, Chris, also looked down and saw Lin Qingyan. The two women’s eyes met.
