120: Chapter 120 The City Is Definitely Abnormal
Yuan Chen stepped out, feeling refreshed.
The second stage had been fully evaluated, and the third stage was about to begin.
It was also the final stage, which required him to personally go and handle the rankings.
Following behind him was a long line of his wives.
This was random.
Those who had won the lottery walked in front with their heads held high, looking joyous.
Those who hadn't won shook their heads with a bit of regret.
But they weren't too disappointed.
Wouldn't this allow them to spend more time with Yuan Chen?
Zixia had long been waiting outside the door.
Seeing Yuan Chen come out, she mentioned that the Purple Dragon Clan and the Golden Dragon Clan had requested an audience.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Chen decided it would be better to see them after it was all over.
The Black Dragon Clan had lowered their status and really gone to participate in the competition.
That was giving him, Yuan Chen, a great deal of Face.
Not to mention the support.
He couldn't just start taking in those who were pulling strings before he had even married the others, right?
That wouldn't be appropriate!
He nodded at Zixia to indicate he understood, then didn't say anything more.
Zixia didn't ask either.
Yuan Chen naturally had his own plans for how to prepare.
He stepped forward and held her hand.
As he asked about the condition of the baby in her belly during this time.
He headed towards the plaza.
Fortunately, he asked, and it was no different from the other women.
Yuan Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
In the Cultivation World, there was no such thing as an older expectant mother.
...
At the city gate of Qingye City.
The Golden Eagle stopped.
A pair of small feet wearing white jade boots landed lightly on the ground.
Miss glared at Young Master Zhu Lin, who had only just started packing up his equipment behind her.
"Can't you pack up earlier? Why are you always so dawdling?"
She stuffed everything into her storage ring.
Jumping off the Golden Eagle, Young Master Zhu Lin stretched lazily.
"It's fine. Your brother is about to get a wife. Once I'm married, she should help me pack up, and I won't have to be annoyed by you every day."
"Your wife is currently holding a son in her hands!"
Young Master Zhu Lin: "..."
"The Zhu Family is here too? Hehehe, maybe there's a good show to watch!"
"Damn it! A few months have drained all my Spirit Stones; I'll have to go back and mine for a few more months. Now, I actually hope Yuan Chen can quickly take down the Chi Family Young Miss, so we can watch another good show."
"Brother, you're too mean, but I want to see it too, hahaha!"
Several people rushing from outside the city into the city stopped to watch Young Master Zhu Lin and the others.
One could tell which family they were from just by looking at their attire.
"Hey, could this be that Young Miss from the Zhu Family who can't do Alchemy? I didn't expect her to be so beautiful; she's on par with the Chi Family Young Miss!"
"What do you know? Even though she can't do Alchemy, she is a Genius of the Dao of Formations.
Come to think of it, it's quite interesting.
The Zhu Family is an Alchemy Sect with two top Geniuses: one has an extraordinary talent for Formation, and the other is peerless in Artifact Refining.
Also, I think the marriage alliance between the two families is likely because the Chi Family wants to cultivate Young Master Zhu Lin's talents in both areas. The Chi Family's Artifact Refining techniques are unique and are the best choice."
"Heh, do you even need to say that? Isn't it obvious?"
Everyone was only conversing via Divine Sense with those they were familiar with.
The Zhu Family members didn't hear it.
Young Master Zhu Lin waved his arm.
The Golden Eagle behind him slowly shrank and landed in Young Master Zhu Lin's hand.
With a flick of his wrist, the Spiritual Artifact disappeared.
"Alright, aren't we here now? Stop nagging."
He said helplessly to Miss, who had been chattering non-stop.
Then they quickly entered the city.
The onlookers nearby who were ready to watch the drama immediately followed.
Miss looked at everything around her with curiosity.
Isn't the atmosphere here too different from other places?
It was even filled with a sense of eeriness.
Every two steps, she would see a poster taller than a person.
On it were drawings of different groups of figures.
Seeing some familiar Faces.
Miss stopped in her tracks.
Isn't this older brother's fiancée, Chi Yun?
That is, her future sister-in-law.
When the marriage was originally agreed upon, she had seen her portrait in her brother's hands.
But why was it hanging on the street now?
She stood still and listened carefully to the useful conversations around her.
"Handsome, buy a flower for your goddess. The other goddesses have flowers; can you bear to watch your own goddess standing alone on the stage without a single bouquet at her feet?"
"How much?"
"It's not expensive, ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones each!"
"Ten?"
"Brother, you have to understand that love cannot be measured by money. You don't want to see your goddess sad, do you?"
"Then... give me one?"
"One? Alright, brother, you're buying this for Goddess Yan, right? We tallied it up, and Goddess Yan only had fewer than ten flowers at her venue yesterday. She must have lost a lot of Face in front of the other goddesses.
Sigh, forget it, why am I telling you this?
I am also a fan of Goddess Yan.
Since you've contributed a flower, I shouldn't say anything more.
But, I'm still not reconciled.
Why does Goddess Yan only have so few? Is it because we fans aren't doing enough?
I've decided, I'll pay out of my own pocket and gift Goddess Yan twenty branches."
"Give me ten."
The man said immediately, excitedly.
Watching the scene before her.
Miss was so shocked her jaw almost dropped.
Ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones really wasn't expensive.
But she had just looked at them.
Those flowers were clearly just ordinary mortal flowers, okay?
They weren't even worth one Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
She cursed under her breath.
Profiteer!
But she hadn't walked a few steps before being attracted by another scene.
"A Magical Artifact worn by Fairy Qiongxiao in her childhood, ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, cheap clearance sale, hurry and buy!"
"Boss, give it to me, I'll pay twelve Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."
"I'll pay fifteen!"
Miss: "..."
Are the people here all sick in the head?
This kind of trashy Low Grade Magical Artifact.
She wouldn't even bother picking it up if she saw it on the road.
It would only be considered a treasure in the mortal world.
She speechlessy averted her gaze.
She followed her brother to look for a place to stay.
But after walking around, there wasn't even a single empty room.
Just at this moment.
"A Magical Artifact worn by Fairy Qiongxiao in her childhood, twenty Mid-Grade..."
A familiar voice, a familiar hawking sound.
Miss turned her head.
A familiar vendor.
She looked at the item in the other person's hand again.
... A familiar item for sale.
Are you guys mass-producing these?
Miss couldn't help but exclaim, "Awesome."
What was even more outrageous was.
Wasn't it just ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones a moment ago?
She gritted her teeth.
Profiteer!
Thinking back to her experience of being scammed out of money when she first left home, she gritted her teeth.
She hated scammers the most.
She stepped forward and stopped the man who was about to pay.
Pointing at the vendor, she said.
"He is a scammer! I just saw him holding the exact same accessory for half the price just now! Don't buy from him."
The man looked at the vendor suspiciously, then back at her.
"Really?"
"Really!"
"I don't believe you!"
Miss: "..."
Is this city sick or something?
