Midnight Continent.
Autumn Leaf City.
The city was covered in ancient maple trees. The maple leaves were red like fire and brilliant like the clouds during sunset, and it was a picturesque and beautiful scenery.
Within an antique styled restaurant.
Chen Xi, Heaven Trampler, and Dian Dian sat by the window in the tall building, and fiery red maple tree leaves filled their vision. It was like sunset had risen, and it was an extremely magnificent scene.
Originally, According to Chen Xiās plans, he intended to return directly to Dao Emperor Academy. However, on the way there, the heavily injured and unconscious Dian Dian had suddenly awoken. After a brief discussion, they turned around and went to Midnight Continent.
Dian Dian was called Midnight Immortal King, and Midnight Continent was naturally her territory.
After they arrived here, Heaven Trampler intended to leave and search for his Master, Daoist Dao Que, and the others. Thus, Chen Xi chose this restaurant to give Heaven Trampler a farewell meal.
āDonāt worry, once I find my Master and the others, Iāll send the news to you.ā Heaven Trampler finished the wine in his cup before he stood up. āThereās no time to lose, so Iāll be making a move first.ā
Chen Xi knew that Heaven Trampler was worried about the safety of his sect, so Chen Xi didnāt stop him and immediately stood up to send him off.
ā¦
āAre you alright?ā When Chen Xi returned, he noticed Dian Dian was holding her chin up with one hand while staring out the window, and her entire body emanated a wisp of a delicate bearing.
Even though sheād woken up now, because her injuries were too severe, she could only maintain her consciousness. According to Chen Xiās inference, any Immortal King would probably be able to easily take Dian Dianās life at this moment.
Of course, no matter how weak Dian Dian was, merely based on the Immortal King Laws she possessed, she wasnāt someone that experts of the other lower realms could go against.
āIām fine.ā Dian Dian smiled while her clear and pitch black eyes still stared towards the distance, and she muttered. āItās been very long since Iāve come to Autumn Leaf City. I remember that when I was young, this was a maple tree forest, and there were only a few cottages here. I grew up hereā¦ā Her voice was pleasing to the ear and carried a trace of recollection.
She wore a light violet dress while her beautiful hair flowed down like a waterfall, and her clear eyes seemed misty. Her jade white countenance was beautiful and otherworldly, and her entire body emanated a lazy and delicate aura, causing her to reveal a unique form of beauty.
At this moment, she didnāt seem like an Immortal King that looked down upon the world, and she seemed like a gentle and gorgeous young woman that was recollecting the past.
Chen Xi sat at the other side of the table and seemed to be lost in thought.
Only now did he know that Autumn Leaf City was actually Dian Dianās hometown where she grew up.
āI grew up in the Mortal Dimension, and my hometown is within a kingdom in a small world. Itās called Pine Mist City. The city was filled with numerous ancient pine trees, and every time dusk fell, the city would be enveloped in what seemed like a mist of pine leavesā¦ā Chen Xi smiled as he spoke. At this moment of peace and quiet, heād inadvertently recalled the past as well.
āOh? If I have the chance, Iād be willing to go have a look.ā Dian Dian grinned as she glanced at Chen Xi.
āYouāre always welcome.ā Chen Xi smiled lightheartedly.
Right at this moment, a wave of clamorous noise came from the stairway.
Along with this noise, a group of people walked into the restaurant, and a young man in embroidered clothes was in the lead. He wore luxurious clothes, had a handsome appearance, and a wisp of a proud and arrogant smile hung on the corners of his mouth.
A group of women surrounded him like a crowd of orioles, and all of them were unique in their own way. There was over ten of them in total.
Besides that, there were a few more lackeys following by his side. These lackeys had capable appearances and heavy bearings. Especially the two lackeys in the lead, they actually possessed cultivations at the Saint Immortal Realm!
Such a group of people walked into the restaurant in a formidable array and put on haughty airs, and they instantly caused many customers in the restaurant to burst into an uproar.
āThe Immortal Monarchās Estateās Young Monarch, Luqiu Ye!ā
āNo wonder they put on such a display, so itās the Young Monarch that possessed the nickname āLadies Manā.ā
āI heard the Young Monarch possesses 3,000 beauties, and he has romantic affairs throughout the world. I wonder if itās true.ā
āItās definitely true. His father, Luqiu Bin, is the ruler of the Immortal Monarchās Estate in Midnight Continent and one of the ten great Marquis of the Immortal Court that possesses the title, the Unfettered Marquis, causing him to possess monstrous authority. This Young Monarch is deeply loved by his father.ā
The crowd discussed animatedly, and the gazes they shot at the young man in embroidered clothes carried a wisp of reverence and admiration.
Chen Xi and Dian Dian frowned simultaneously when faced with this because the originally peaceful and quiet atmosphere had been disturbed, and it naturally caused them to be displeased.
āThis kid is a bastard. Heās lustful by nature, and even Iāve heard many despicable things he has done. If it wasnāt out of consideration for his father, I would have crippled this little bastard a long time ago.ā Dian Dian puckered her lips and sighed faintly.
Chen Xi was speechless because since Dian Dian evaluated him in such a manner, then it was obvious how lustful this āLadies Manā was. However, in Chen Xiās opinion, being despicably lustful isnāt romantic but dirty.
āFellow Daoists, Iām sorry, this level of the restaurant has already been booked by my estateās Young Monarch. Please give us some face and leave quickly.ā A middle aged lackey spoke in a deep voice and actually wanted to clear the restaurant out for the Young Monarch and his female companions to enjoy themselves in private.
As soon as these words were spoken, most of the customers in the restaurant didnāt think anything was wrong with this. They seemed to be aware of this Young Monarchās nature, and they left immediately. However, there were some customers that felt displeased, but because of the extraordinary power and influence the Young Monarch possessed, they could only restrain their displeasure and leave obediently.
āLetās go as well. Iāve lost my appetite from being disturbed by that bastard.ā Dian Dian frowned, and she couldnāt be bothered to make a fuss about it in the end.
āAlright.ā Chen Xi immediately stood up with her, and then they turned around and headed towards the stairway.
After the trip to the Prehistoric Ruins, Chen Xiās gaze had looked past his peers since a long time ago, and heād placed it onto a higher level, so he naturally wouldnāt make a fuss about it with this bastard.
As for Dian Dian, as an Immortal King, these fellows were like laughable ants in her eyes, so she naturally couldnāt be bothered to pay any attention to them. It was like the difference between a hawk in the sky and an ant of the ground, when had the hawk ever paid attention to the cries of the ant from the ground?
However, even though the two of them couldnāt be bothered to pay attention to Luqiu Ye, Luqiu Ye just happened to look for trouble with them.
Right when they passed by this Young Monarch, Luqiu Ye, they were instantly stopped by the latter.
āWait!ā Luqiu Yeās eyes lit up.
What a beautiful little girl! This bearing is simply matchless!
He felt he was a veteran in picking flowers, and heād experienced countless beautiful women, yet heād never seen one that possessed such an extraordinary bearing like the woman before his eyes. So it instantly drew out his desire to possess her.
As he thought like this in his heart, his gaze was already staring with burning desire at Dian Dian, and he revealed a smile that he felt was elegant as he said, āMiss, youāre really beautiful. Iām Luqiu Ye, may I know if I can have a drink of wine or tea with you?ā
As for Chen Xi, he was directly overlooked.
Luqiu Yeās lackeys were extremely clearly aware of their Young Monarchās nature, so when they saw this scene, they instantly imperceptibly obstructed Chen Xi and Dian Dianās path.
On the other hand, when Luqiu Yeās female companions saw this, all of them revealed unhappy and sour expressions.
āHmph! Heās chasing after women again. Does he feel us sisters arenāt enough?ā
āWhatās so good about that little girl? Why havenāt I noticed anything?ā
Some of the women couldnāt help but mutter sourly with sharp voices, and they seemed to be jealous.
Chen Xi was instantly speechless.
What sort of Immortals are these women, and what Dao do they seek?
Actually, Chen Xi was thinking too much. The reason these women acted in this way was none other that to compete for Luqiu Yeās favor, and the objective of this was naturally for the sake of obtaining even more benefits from this Young Monarch for their own future.
Dian Dian seemed as if she didnāt notice all of this instead, and she didnāt even spare a glance at Luqiu Ye before she said frankly. āIāll give you a chance. Ask your subordinates to move aside, and I wonāt make a fuss about it with you.ā
Her voice was calm, yet it carried extraordinary might.
However, when it entered into Luqiu Yeās ears, it caused him to feel a fresh sort of excitement. Amongst the women heād played with, most of them obediently fell into his arms as soon as they heard of his identity. So when had he even encountered one that dared speak to him in this way?
Clap! Clap! Clap!
This fellow actually roared with laughter and started clapping. āNot bad, not bad. This Young Master loves a disposition like yours. Since itās our first meeting, take this little thing as a meeting gift. I hope you will accept it.ā
As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and a light blue and exquisite jade hairpin that glowed brightly appeared. Moreover, it was suffused with strands of gentle auspicious light.
A Valiant Grade Immortal Artifact!
In an instant, the eyes of all the women by Luqiu Yeās side lit up, and they felt even more envious, causing even the gazes they shot at Dian Dian to become hostile.
Obviously, in their hearts, Dian Dian was their number one enemy in their competition for Luqiu Yeās favor.
Luqiu Ye felt even more complacent in his heart upon noticing this, and he said in his heart, āNo matter how noble and extraordinary you are, this Young Master doesnāt believe you wonāt submit to me!ā
Chen Xi couldnāt help but explode with laughter.
This fellow is actually trying to seduce an Immortal King with a Valiant Grade Immortal Artifact? Is there anything more absurd and laughable than this?
āYoung Master over there, whatāre you laughing about?ā When they saw Chen Xi was actually laughing, Luqiu Ye frowned and glared at Chen Xi with displeasure.
āFriend, leave quickly. You have no business staying here!ā The lackeys glanced coldly at Chen Xi and spoke in an extremely threatening manner.
Chen Xi rubbed his nose and couldnāt be bothered to pay any attention to these fellows. He just turned around to look at Dian Dian. He was very curious because Dian Dian actually didnāt flare up until now, and he actually wondered what her intentions were.
On the other hand, Dian Dian looked at Chen Xi at practically the exact same time, and she said with a grumbling tone, āItās already at a time like this, yet youāre still able to continue watching?ā
As she spoke, she suddenly held onto Chen Xiās arm and rested her head intimately on Chen Xiās shoulder, and then her eyes narrowed from feeling comfortable before she said, āYou said that you would be responsible for me.ā
Her voice was gentle, and she slightly acted like she was spoiled.
Chen Xiās figure instantly stiffened while he laughed bitterly in his heart.
Whatās this Big Sister Immortal King trying to do!?
On the other hand, when this scene entered into Luqiu Yeās eyes, it instantly caused him to be extremely infuriated in his heart, yet he smiled casually instead and said, āMiss, in my opinion, this fellow by your side isnāt worthy of you. Why donāt you consider this Young Master?ā
Dian Dianās eyes narrowed while she leaned on Chen Xiās side, and she acted indifferent towards this. Obviously, sheād decided to allow Chen Xi to deal with all of this.
āFriend, what do you think?ā When he saw this, Luqiu Ye was even more irritated, and he shot his gloomy gaze at Chen Xi while his voice revealed an oppressive and threatening tone.
It wasnāt just him, all the lackeys in the vicinity stared coldly at Chen Xi, and they seemed to be saying that Chen Xi shouldnāt blame them for being ruthless if Chen Xi didnāt act sensibly.
Chen Xi was completely speechless.
All these fellows are from Midnight Continent. Could it be that theyāre unable to recognize Dian Dianās identity?
They really are a bunch of ignorant idiots!
