Chapter 54 Wuhu! I’m Flying!
“Master, are we heading straight back to Snow Moon City now?”
As they left Medicine King Valley and sealed the entrance, Hua Jin turned to Jiang Che and asked obediently.
“No, we’re heading to Beauty Manor first,” Jiang Che shook his head.
“Beauty Manor? Master, are you going there to gamble?”
Hua Jin tilted her small head, her curious gaze fixed on Jiang Che. She never expected her seemingly ethereal and aloof master to have an interest in gambling. In her mind, someone like Jiang Che, a transcendent figure, should treat money as mere dust.
“No, we’re going to save the life of a disciple from Snow Moon City.” Jiang Che explained briefly, then grabbed Hua Jin’s delicate, soft hand.
In Hua Jin’s astonished eyes, their figures soared through the air, finally landing on a cloud.
Recovering from her shock, Hua Jin looked down at the breathtaking landscapes passing beneath her, utterly stunned.
This scene shattered her understanding of the world.
How can a person stand on clouds?
Over the years, following Xin Baicao, Hua Jin had traveled extensively across Beili, encountering Numerous martial arts masters. Her experiences gave her a fair amount of knowledge.
However, even the legendary masters at the Heavenly Realm level couldn’t stand on clouds.
Though Heavenly Realm cultivators could hover at great heights briefly, sustaining such altitudes consumed significant amounts of energy. Most could only fly a hundred meters before resorting to using their martial arts skills for movement.
What Jiang Che demonstrated—effortlessly standing on clouds—was something Hua Jin had never seen before.
“Master, are you an immortal?”
Regaining her composure, Hua Jin clung to Jiang Che’s arm, her milky-white face flushed with excitement. Her big, bright eyes sparkled with undisguised enthusiasm.
Tang Lian brought Xiao Se to a grand pavilion, where lively gambling noises echoed from within.
“Big, big, big!”
“Small, small, small!”
“Haha, I win! Pay up!”j
Beauty Manor was a haven for gambling, drawing officials and wealthy elites from miles around. Its chips weren’t gold or silver but rare pearls that could be purchased or exchanged for silver.
Inside, the Manor Lord, Tian Nu Rui, was a renowned beauty and a favorite among affluent patrons. Many spent fortunes just to win her favor.
Upon entering, a maid greeted Tang Lian and Xiao Se, leading them to a private room.
“Young Master Tang, our boss has been expecting you,” the maid said, closing the door behind them.
Dressed in a red gown that accentuated her flawless, jade-like legs, Tian Nu Rui greeted them with a graceful smile.
“Tang Lian, you’ve arrived. Please, have a seat.”
Tang Lian got straight to the point, “Has the contact arrived?”
“Not yet...” Tian Nu Rui shook her head gently.
Tang Lian frowned. Before leaving Snow Moon City, he was informed to meet a contact here. If the contact didn’t show, his mission was to escort the golden coffin to Nine Dragon Temple.
The delay unsettled him, as his journey had been fraught with danger. Rumors of treasures, legendary weapons, and martial secrets hidden within the coffin attracted countless assassins.
Tang Lian’s martial prowess at the ninth level of the Grandmaster realm was the only reason he survived so far.
Suddenly, Lei Wujie’s screams erupted from outside the pavilion.
Tang Lian’s expression darkened. Without a word, he and Xiao Se rushed out to investigate.
