Chapter 34: Chapter 34: All Not a Simple Character
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
From the balcony of the Treasure Pavilion, Chen Zhi'an looked at the show-offy Liu Qi from afar, his mouth agape in shock.
He always knew Liu Qi was strong, but he didn't realize he was this strong...
Previously, whether it was poisoning the Black and White Dual Heroes, crushing two swordsmen, or single-handedly forcing the Ministry of Rites Attendant, Zhou Li, to kneel, all seemed a bit low-key.
Having seen it so often, Chen Zhi'an even began to think that the power of the Virtual God Realm wasn't all that impressive, just a little stronger than him.
Now, he realized that this guy was ridiculously powerful.
If he went all out, this brothel wouldn't stand a chance against his sword...
"This young man... is too strong!"
Old Yang Head, who appeared behind Chen Zhi'an at some point, spoke with an unusually heavy tone.
"Yang Lao, are all Virtual God Realms this strong, or just Liu Qi?" Chen Zhi'an turned his head to ask Old Yang Head.
"It's hard to say," Old Yang Head said solemnly. "I suspect Liu Qi didn't use his full strength, but even with just this one sword, he's already a rare existence in the Virtual God Realm. If we have to compare... Take Li Xiuluo, for example. If his killing power is one, then Liu Qi's one sword is like five..."
"Li Xiuluo... Is he the one who, when his knife is unsheathed, slaughter is beyond his control?" Initially, Chen Zhi'an thought that guy was a master, but it turns out he's just another ordinary guy who's good at swinging a sword.
"Do you think he's weak?" Old Yang Head sneered. "Li Xiuluo, formerly known as Chu Feng, the Fourth Prince's guardian, advanced to the Virtual God Realm in his early sixties. He's hailed as a rare genius in cultivation, likely to reach the Transcendent Realm within a hundred years! The Emperor even bestowed upon him the 'Devil's Sutra.' He changed his name to Li Xiuluo to ride the wave of his current popularity. If it weren't for encountering Liu Qi these years..."
Chen Zhi'an's face stiffened.
After all, he claimed to be a once-in-a-century genius!
Once in a millennium and once in a century, he could still tell the difference.
After reaching the Virtual God Realm, with the nourishment of Yin spirits, living for over three hundred years is not a problem.
He heard that after advancing to the Virtual God Realm, life expectancy could extend to over five hundred years...
Li Xiuluo advanced to the later stage of the Virtual God Realm in his early sixties, and he's still young now...
"Young people are formidable, Getting old!" Old Yang Head sighed, his hands behind his back, preparing to return to the Thousand Gold Alley.
As he took a step, the elderly steward, with thinning hair and sleeves wrapped, suddenly appeared beside Chen Zhi'an.
The elderly steward glanced at the distant Fox Mountain, his voice low and mysterious: "Little Sparrow, go to the Golden Science Alley and tell the Fourth Young Master of the Li family that from now on, Fox Mountain belongs to the Chen family!"
"Little Sparrow... Who's Little Sparrow?" Chen Zhi'an looked at the elderly steward who appeared suddenly, about to ask, but saw Old Yang Head's body suddenly stiffen and his hands that were behind him hurriedly spread apart.
Where was the old man's dignified appearance...
"Yes, leader!" Smiling obsequiously in response, the old Yang Head replied and then swiftly disappeared from the Fallen Treasure Pavilion.
He ran away so fast!
Chen Zhi'an opened his mouth.
He didn't dare to say anything!
Damn it!
The old steward is really not a simple character.
A Virtual God Realm powerhouse trembles when he sees him, at least he must be above the Transcendent Realm, right?
How many old sinister bastards has Chen Ah-Man hidden?
And these old sinister bastards are so brave. They're just going to take over the Fourth Prince's hunting grounds?
The old steward completely ignored him.
With his hands behind his back, he looked at Liu Qi, who was returning through the air, and chuckled softly, "Young man, are you a member of the Taoist sect?"
Liu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, also looking at the old steward in a mysterious manner.
After a long time, he said, "I have never entered the Taoist sect, so I dare not consider myself a member of the Taoist sect."
The old steward shook his head. "It's a pity. With your talent, if you had entered the Taoist sect..."
"Liu Qi interrupted him, saying softly, 'With attachments in the heart, entering the Taoist sect would just make me one more ordinary person. With the three thousand paths of the Great Dao, I walk my own path.'
'You're confident,' the old steward looked deeply at Liu Qi, then turned to Chen Zhi'an, chuckling, 'Our young master being friends with you, consider yourself lucky!'
Liu Qi smiled faintly, 'It's truly fortunate for me to be friends with the boss. Old sir, there are still some matters in the building that need to be dealt with. I'll take my leave now!'
With a gesture of respect, Liu Qi turned and left.
The old steward stepped aside to avoid him.
He didn't acknowledge the gesture.
After Liu Qi left, the old steward spoke softly again, 'Young master, the master told me to tell you. There's no need to be too careful in Chang'an... Those who have the ability to kill you, won't dare. Those who dare, don't have the ability.
Unless... one day, they die...'
'Understood,' Chen Zhi'an sighed.
When it came to the people of the Chen Liu Marquis's Mansion, he always avoided them.
On one hand, as a relative of Heaven's Chosen, it's always been the case that the deeper the affection, the faster the death.
On the other hand, he wasn't truly Chen Zhi'an, and he instinctively resisted the deep ties with the original owner's family!
Even beyond the Chen Liu Marquis's Mansion.
Even towards this world.
He always had a slight sense of detachment.
Like a passerby watching from the sidelines...
After explaining Chen Ah-Man's words, the old steward also got up and left.
Before disappearing, he said in a hoarse, sinister voice, 'Take some time to go back and see her. The young lady has been asking about you for a while...'
...
Spring came and autumn went, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Zhi'an had been in this world for over a year now.
"'Third Brother, are there foxes on Fox Mountain?'"
On Fox Mountain, the crisp sound of bells echoed through the mountains. Chen Zhidong, dressed in red, sat on a swing and asked.
"There used to be, but not anymore!"
Chen Zhi'an sat next to Chen Zhidong, his lips curled up in a smile. "Legend has it that thirty thousand years ago, the Fox Emperor was crossing tribulations in Qingqiu.
Nine divine thunders descended from the heavens to prevent her from becoming an emperor.
The heavenly thunder rolled and the majestic might of the heavens turned her place into rubble.
There were also four quasi-emperors who attacked. At that time, she carried Qingqiu on her back, held thunder in one hand, and, covered in imperial robes stained with blood, killed four quasi-emperors before ascending to the heavens and dying!
Before she died.
She used her great magic to move the Qingqiu Imperial Palace to Juye, completely sealing off the human realm. Since then, there have been no foxes in Qingqiu.
The Qingqiu of the past is now Fox Mountain."
"Is that so?" Chen Zhidong's eyebrows raised slightly as he looked into the distance.
Chen Zhi'an smiled, "It's all just legends, tens of thousands of years ago, who knows what's true and what's false, it has nothing to do with us."
"Yeah, it has nothing to do with us!" Chen Zhidong revealed two innocent dimples, gently tapping the ground with his toes, and the swing swung high again.
Chen Zhi'an propped his chin with his left hand, pushed the swing with his right hand, and looked at Chen Zhidong's back with a complicated expression.
Half a year ago, after the old steward's sinister reminder for him to visit home often, he readily took his little sister to the Treasure Pavilion.
Then he saw Chen Zhidong walk into Fox Mountain alone. With just one glance, he frightened all the exotic beasts that the Fourth Prince had kept in captivity into trembling.
What pegasus, savage beasts, and demonic birds, in front of her, were as gentle as lambs, wishing to kneel down and kiss her feet.
In order to compete for the position of patrolling the mountain with her, even the vegetarian pegasus turned into a meat-eating monster. When they saw the winged tiger with White Tiger bloodlines, they dared to bare their teeth.
He didn't know how many fights he'd had.
In the vast Fox Mountain, she had become the undisputed queen.
It wasn't until then that Chen Zhi'an realized how heavy the burden of being a "Phoenix Seed" was.
The entire Chen Liu Marquis's Mansion.
Except for himself truly incompetent.
Everyone else was a hidden expert.
Not a single one was simple."
