389: Chapter 389 The City Destroyed by Ashes, Taking in Maids
Extinguishing City, a city shrouded in darkness, stood quietly on this desolate land like a sleeping giant beast.
The reason this city was so special was that a powerhouse of the Chaos Cave Master Realm resided here; his existence made Extinguishing City a place yearned for by countless people.
Just on this day, a massive flying ship suddenly appeared in the sky, slowly descending above Extinguishing City, as if a huge shadow had enveloped the entire city.
The appearance of the flying ship caused a commotion among the city's residents; people looked up, one after another, guessing the intentions of this mysterious flying ship.
...
Inside the city lord's mansion, the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.
City Lord Huijin stood below with a cautious expression, his gaze sweeping over Cao Yang, who was sitting in the main seat, from time to time, his heart filled with awe.
Cao Yang sat high in the main seat, with a group of beautiful and moving Dao Companions sitting beside him; these women were either delicate and charming, or cold and noble, each exuding a unique charm.
Cao Yang took a leisurely sip of tea, then asked in a faint tone: "Can you complete the matter I mentioned?"
Although his voice was not loud, it revealed an irresistible majesty.
Upon hearing this, City Lord Huijin's heart tightened. He hurriedly bowed respectfully and said: "Rest assured, Senior, Huijin will definitely give it his all and will never fail to live up to your expectations!"
There was a trace of panic in his voice; evidently, he dared not neglect Cao Yang's request in the slightest.
Cao Yang nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand, signaling the City Lord to withdraw.
City Lord Huijin felt as if he had been granted an amnesty. After bowing again, he carefully exited the room.
"Brother Cao, then we're going out to play!" Accompanied by a crisp shout, Second Senior Sister Su Xuan looked at Cao Yang with a smile on her face, like a happy little bird.
The City Lord had just left, and Su Xuan couldn't wait to ask Cao Yang; clearly, she could no longer suppress the joy and excitement in her heart.
Seeing this, the corners of Cao Yang's mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and he nodded in response: "Alright, you can go wherever you want to play, but remember not to leave Extinguishing City!"
His voice was deep and magnetic, making people feel very at ease when they heard it.
Hearing Cao Yang's permission, the women cheered and jumped for joy, like a flock of birds released, chattering and discussing where they wanted to go.
For some time now, they had been trapped on the flying ship, their lives monotonous and dull, which was extremely boring.
Now, they had finally entered the Chaos Realm, their strength had greatly increased, and they were gradually losing interest in the world inside the flying ship.
After all, for them, having reached such a Realm, the space inside the flying ship seemed too narrow to satisfy their desire for freedom and exploration.
However, although the Chaos World outside the flying ship was boundless, it was gray and dark, with monotonous scenery and a lack of vitality and energy.
Now, the women were still full of enthusiasm, because as long as they could leave that enclosed flying ship and feel the fresh air outside, it was a rare enjoyment for them.
Not long after the women left, two figures suddenly flashed into the originally empty hall.
"Chuyin, have you finished handling your affairs?" Cao Yang's gaze fell on one of the women with a pretty face and mature temperament, and he asked softly.
Yu Chuyin nodded slightly and responded softly: "Yes, everything is handled, Brother Cao. It's just... I brought Xiaoxi out without permission. I watched her grow up, and I really couldn't bear to leave her there."
After speaking, Yu Chuyin turned to look at the young girl beside her, a look of worry appearing in her eyes.
Cao Yang followed her gaze and saw that the girl was still young with a delicate face, but there was not a trace of innocence between her brows.
He smiled and nodded, comforting her: "It's fine. Since you brought her out, just keep her by your side. It's no problem how many people you want to bring; these are all just small matters."
Hearing this, Yu Chuyin felt slightly relieved, but still added uneasily: "But, Brother Cao, you know, the people by your side are all your Dao Companions..."
Cao Yang smiled slightly and was about to explain, but was suddenly interrupted by the girl named Xiaoxi: "Senior, Xiaoxi can also be your Dao Companion!"
Cao Yang was stunned upon hearing this and looked at the girl with some surprise. He saw the girl's cheeks flushed, and she shyly lowered her head, but her firm tone did not have the slightest hesitation.
Cao Yang sighed helplessly and explained: "Just now, I asked the city lord here to search for nearby Genius girls. I plan to have these Genius girls serve as your handmaidens."
"So, if this Miss Xiaoxi you brought doesn't want to be my Dao Companion, it's not forced; she can directly become your handmaiden, but handmaidens cannot Cultivate the main Cultivation Technique I gave you."
Cao Yang did not receive a prompt from the System; perhaps it was because there was no Chaos Fortune, or perhaps the girl just said she wanted to be his Dao Companion in words only.
"The main Cultivation Technique?"
Yu Chuyin was a bit confused.
"Yes, I haven't given it to you yet; I will give it to you in the future."
Hearing Cao Yang's explanation, Yu Chuyin nodded.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Yu Chuyin, like a gentle sheep, lay quietly in Cao Yang's broad embrace.
At this very moment, she already understood the words Cao Yang had spoken that day.
Cao Yang not only generously bestowed upon her an incomparably precious Cultivation Technique, but also handed over the legendary chaos tribulation ring to her.
And all of this made Yu Chuyin feel incomparably happy and satisfied.
However, what made her most overjoyed was that her own cultivation base had already achieved a Breakthrough to the Chaos Realm!
For her, this was undoubtedly a huge leap and the best reward for her many years of painstaking Cultivation.
A month later, the women all returned to this place, one after another, like birds returning to their nests.
After all, they were all powerhouses of the Chaos Realm, so naturally, it didn't take much time to tour a city.
Another month passed in a flash, and the City Lord, who had gone out to carry out the mission, finally returned.
To one's surprise, when City Lord Huijin returned this time, he actually brought back fifty beautiful, intelligent, and talented girls with the aptitude for Chaos!
These girls all had a cultivation base that had reached the Realm of Source Emperor; it could be said that their strength was extraordinary.
Seeing this, Cao Yang made a prompt decision and directly distributed these girls to his many Dao Companions.
However, due to the limited number of people, some Dao Companions did not receive a handmaiden.
Even so, the Dao Companions who did not receive a handmaiden were not unhappy about it; after all, this was just a small episode.
After bidding farewell to the City Lord, Cao Yang and the others turned and boarded the flying ship, slowly sailing away from this city.
As for City Lord Huijin, he stood where he was, watching the back of the flying ship as it gradually moved further away, wiping the non-existent fine sweat from his forehead with a sense of relief.
He muttered to himself: "Finally, I have sent them away; I can consider it a success in protecting my beautiful wives and concubines!"
Cao Yang and the women went back to living the same plain and unadorned life as before.
They still needed to fly in the Chaos for at least a year to reach their destination, the Divine Mansion Realm.
