Chapter 31 Arrival at the Waterflower City
Chapter 31 Arrival at the Waterflower City
The Waterflower City is located at the north side of the Original Mountain and mortals would need to spend more than a week to travel this distance.
The Waterflower City wasn't very big, with only a population of about twenty thousand or so people.
The vast majority of these people were mortals, with only a few cultivators hidden among them.
These cultivators were mostly at the Early Stage of Qi Accumulation and had basically given up on their future dreams, choosing to stay in the city and play among the mortals.
With their strength, they were able to live a relatively carefree life, provided that no passing cultivator decided to slaughter the entire city.
At this time, one of the most famous taverns of the city was very crowded and behind every table sat a person, or a group of friends.
The customers were either wolfing down the food on their plates or drinking alcohol and chatted loudly with each other.
Among this crowd, a beautiful woman stood out, sitting at a table at the corner of the tavern and sipping tea.
From her clothes and her appearance, it was obvious to the people around her that she was born in a wealthy family and while most of them took a few glances, they didn't dare to come forward and chat.
None of them knew that the woman was the disciple of an evil sect, Chu Wuyao.
As a cultivator, Chu Wuyao didn't care about mortals' looks and completely ignored them.
Three days had passed since she killed the spider monster in the village and obtained the golden stone tablet.
After various tests, she couldn't find the tablet's uses and only knew that it stayed inside the place where her soul resided.
With no way to investigate any further, she could only choose to leave the village and continue her journey.
Over the past few days, she had spent most of the day on the road, until she reached her final destination: the Waterflower City.
Fortunately, there was no other accident on the road and her journey was actually very boring, but safe.
At the moment, Chu Wuyao's eyes were slightly dazed, as she looked at the system prompts and then brought up the system panel.

"I wish the system panel was a little more intuitive.", Chu Wuyao sighed as she stared at the panel that was becoming more and more complicated.
On the table, a rough, burly man was sitting, surrounded by his underlings.
Hearing the thin man's voice, he hit the table with a chug filled with wine and looked at him with some contempt.
"Gu Erwu, what's so important that you need to interrupt my meal?"
Under his sharp gaze, Gu Erwu was a little nervous, but he mustered up his courage and spoke loudly.
"Big Brother Yi, didn't you promise me that you'll make me your subordinate as long as I convinced my sister to sleep with you?", he bowed his head and his voice contained a hint of anticipation.
Despite the noise in the tavern, Gu Erwu's voice was quite loud and reached everyone's ears.
Silence spread throughout the tavern and everyone stopped talking, wanting to hear the rest of their conversation.
Seeing his respectful look, the contempt in Big Brother Yi's eyes became even more obvious.
But then, he thought of something.
"Don't you also have a mother? I promise you that as long as you convince her too, you can come become my subordinate and work under me."
"Hahahaha!"
The customers around could no longer hold back and broke into loud laughter.
In Gu Erwu's ears, this laughter was filled with mockery and disdain, causing his expression to darken and his fists to clench.
"Big Brother Yi, do you really want to go back to your word?"
"Aren't you afraid that people in the city will no longer take your words seriously?", he gritted his teeth and raised his head, staring straight into the rough man's eyes.
Big Brother Yi's eyes turned sharp and he stood up from the table, his big muscles twitching as he moved.
"Are you threatening me?", he asked in a low voice.
At any other time, Gu Erwu would have never dared to oppose the rough man, but now that he sensed everyone's ridicule, he couldn't bear it.
His courage surged, he puffed his chest and spoke in a majestic voice.
"No, I'm just saying the truth."
"I believe that you won't make such a mistake."
"As long as yo-"
"Boom!"
Before he could finish these words, Gu Erwu's body flew across the room and reached the door, breaking it into pieces
He coughed out blood and and teeth flew out of his mouth, as he felt that even breathing had become extremely painful.
Before his consciousness went dark, at the very last moment, he saw a woman with brown hair tied into a ponytail running towards him with concerned expression.
