Chapter 836: Seizure

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Tang Jie and Yiyi walked all around Guanshan City, having fun and buying quite a lot of things.

The spirit coins used in the Vast Wilderness World were slightly different from those used in the Rosecloud Domain. The ones in the Rosecloud Domain were made from Inkcloud Stone mixed with ordinary silver, but Vast Wilderness used Violet Stone mixed with black gold, which made the coins so tough that they could be used as hidden weapons.

Tang Jie naturally didn't have such spirit coins, so he sold some of the art relics he had obtained from the Five Origins Paradise.

By noon, Yiyi had all sorts of fun new things, and was the perfect picture of an innocent and unaffected young lady.

The two had a grand time, and they soon arrived at a restaurant which was called "Drunken Book Pavilion".

"'Drunken Book Pavilion'? An interesting name," Yiyi said. "Big Brother, let's go in and eat."

"Okay." Tang Jie had always agreed to Yiyi's requests.

As the three went up to the restaurant, they discovered that there was a sign on the exterior that read "Only cultivators allowed". Seated at the door was an old man who, despite his shriveled appearance, was actually a Mortal Shedding Spirit Master.

Tang Jie was startled at first, but then he smiled in understanding. "Does this restaurant only cater to cultivators?"

The old man glanced at Tang Jie and said, "Sir has restrained his soul and is brimming with spiritual energy, so you are a cultivator without question and allowed to enter."

Tang Jie was taken aback.

Although he wasn't using some high-level energy-controlling art, as he was a Deification cultivator, people couldn't normally see his strength unless he wanted them to. But to his surprise, this Mortal Shedding old man had seen that he was a cultivator with a glance. This was truly some outstanding vision.

He didn't know that the old man was even more stunned.

He had been hired as the doorkeeper for this restaurant precisely thanks to his pair of natural spirit eyes and the mantra he cultivated. His Sage Eyes allowed him to see through all things, and he could see through the illusions and energy-controlling arts of even someone who was an entire realm above him.

But he could only tell that this person was a cultivator, not his actual strength. This could only mean that this person was above the Celestial Heart Realm, but didn't that mean he was at Violet Palace?

In Guanshan City at least, Violet Palace cultivators were still important people who needed to be treated respectfully.

Fortunately, the old man was very experienced, so he managed to hide his shock and politely welcome the trio in.

Upon entering the restaurant, they saw that all the guests, seated in twos and threes, really were all cultivators, but they were mostly Mortal Shedding or Celestial Heart, with not a single Violet Palace among them. Although the Vast Wilderness Continent had many people, as well as many Violet Palace cultivators, they weren't so common that one could see them wherever one went.

Tang Jie immediately found a place to sit, ordering some appetizers and then taking in the scenery.

After a while, some more people came in.

This was a group of young cultivators dressed in fancy and expensive clothes, laughing and talking.

"So? The head madame of Leaning Jade Pavilion was rather nice, no?"

"Brother Li, it was an excellent recommendation. That Lady Miao Yu was a prime specimen, with some of the finest features, and she even cultivates the Mercurial Yang Art. Intercourse with her will let one gain both Yin and Yang, which benefits the cultivation."

"After another few days, I'll introduce you to another nice place. I'm sure it will make Brother Cheng forget to go home."

These people loudly talked about such lewd matters without a care for what others thought.

Tang Jie frowned, but he ignored them.

However, Ice Phoenix's eyes flashed.

Coincidentally, that party chose to sit at the table across from Tang Jie, and when they saw Ice Phoenix and Yiyi, they froze, their souls enchanted.

But while there were many philanderers in the world, very few of them were actually lacking in manners. This was particularly true given that this was a cultivator-only restaurant. That Tang Jie's group was sitting here could only mean that they were cultivators, so it was best not to cause trouble until they had been properly probed out.

Although these young cultivators were rich good-for-nothings, they had received strict upbringings and knew that strangers were not to be lightly provoked. Thus, while they were tempted, they didn't come up to flirt, saving Tang Jie some trouble.

But while they didn't flirt, that didn't stop Ice Phoenix from tempting them.

Just a glance from her alluring eyes, a simple smile, was enough to make the hearts of those youths tremble.

And then Ice Phoenix put on a sweet and delicate expression, flexing her charm to the maximum, making the legs of those young cultivators go soft.

Tang Jie naturally noticed all this, and he frowned. "Are you finished yet?"

Ice Phoenix paled at this rebuke, her expression becoming one of abject sorrow, her large eyes tearing up in a most pitiful display.

Those young cultivators immediately changed their attitudes, for it seemed like Tang Jie was bullying Ice Phoenix.

One of the more impatient ones couldn't help but say, "Hey, you over there, you think it takes a lot of skill to bully a girl?"

He seemed so righteous that one might mistakenly think that his purposes really were so pure.

Without raising his head, Tang Jie replied, "I can bully my woman however I want. It's none of your business."

The youths were startled.

At this moment, Ice Phoenix shouted, "Who's 'your woman'? You took me by force!"

Everyone stared at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie scowled. "Shut your mouth!"

The young cultivators laughed. "So it was a bandit! If that's the case, we don't need to be polite."

One of them grabbed at Tang Jie.

These young masters were very well-mannered, to only attack now. They had already been looking for a reason to attack. It wasn't important that Ice Phoenix didn't want to be here. What was important was that they had an excuse to act. Ice Phoenix had now given them an excuse, so they didn't need to think about the other problems.

In a flash, they attacked in unison.

A storm whipped up in the restaurant.

At this moment, someone yelled, "Stop!"

An invisible force blocked the attacks of those young cultivators and pushed them back.

As for Tang Jie, he hadn't even moved this whole time, so that force affected him in no way.

As the force subsided, a middle-aged man with a three-pronged beard and a rather handsome face appeared in the restaurant.

The young cultivators said in unison:

"Lu Zhiliang, you've got guts, blocking our attacks."

The man grimaced. "Young sirs, this Lu wouldn't dare. But Drunken Book Pavilion doesn't allow fighting. This rule was set down by the owner. As the manager, this Lu cannot stand by. Regardless of who is right or wrong, please do not cause trouble in the restaurant. This one cannot take the rage of the owner."

The owner of Drunken Book Pavilion was clearly someone of significant background, for fear and trepidation appeared on the faces of those youths.

Just when it seemed like things would be settled, a voice came from outside. "So if it's my father, the owner won't blame you, right?"

A red cloud rushed inside, lighting up the entire restaurant. It landed on the floor, revealing itself to be a woman dressed entirely in red, with two bright and beautiful eyes.

The young cultivators were shocked rather than elated, groaning, "Why is she here? This is bad."

"That's right! We just so happened to see two beauties, but now they're going to fall into her hands."

The woman cast her gaze at Ice Phoenix and clicked her tongue in praise, lust appearing in her eyes, even licking her lips. "Such beauties. One is cold and pure while the other is sweet and innocent. This Young Lady Xin wants them."

She reached out to grab both Ice Phoenix and Yiyi.

Ice Phoenix's eyes gleamed with a harsh light, but she didn't resist, instead sweetly smiling and putting on a most sympathetic appearance.

But Yiyi snorted and raised a hand, thrusting a finger at Young Lady Xin.

This condensed bolt of finger energy carried a powerful corrosive effect.

Young Lady Xin was astonished at its power, drawing her hand back. "Soul Transformation?"

These words left everyone stunned.

Soul Transformation was second only to Violet Palace, and such people were of high status. Nobody would have expected a girl so young to possess such profound cultivation.

But Young Lady Xin then laughed. "So what if you're Soul Transformation? If Young Lady Xin takes a liking to a girl, there's no escape."

With a laugh, she once more thrust out a palm, unleashing a rumbling storm whose power was also at Soul Transformation.

The young cultivators shook their heads in admiration.

One of them said, "Stealing a girl in broad daylight! We Four Young Sirs of Guanshan haven't even done this, but Young Lady Xin is already trying her hand at it."

That Young Sir Li snorted. "What's so strange about it? We're the Four Young Sirs of Guanshan, but she's the Shame of Guanshan! She's got a whole pile of beauties back at her estate, and more than half she took by force."

"A woman seizing other women, such a waste!"

"What can you do? She's the city lord's daughter."

They shook their heads and sighed.

It seemed that Drunken Book Pavilion was owned by the Guanshan City Lord. It was no wonder these so-called Four Young Sirs of Guanshan didn't dare to mess around here.

Young Lady Xin began to fight with Yiyi.

Although they were both at Soul Transformation, they didn't use any earth-shaking spell arts. This was because they didn't want to dismantle the restaurant, and they were also testing each other, seeing how much control the other party had. Thus, all their attacks were limited to their fists and feet, the shockwaves going no farther than three inches away. Even so, their concentrated lethality was so great that anything that even brushed against it would be obliterated.

Thus, as the two flew around the restaurant, only what was in their path was destroyed, which showed how superb they were at controlling their strength.

Tang Jie was still eating and drinking, but all the other cultivators fled from their seats in fright.

That Lu Zhiliang inwardly groaned, but Young Lady Xin was only getting more and more excited, shouting, "Girl, you're pretty good, but I advise you to quickly submit to me. In this Guanshan City, there's no woman I can't get my hands on."

The Four Young Sirs of Guanshan sighed.

Although they were used to it, whenever they heard this woman say such things, they couldn't help but find it strange.
