Chapter 103: Golden Jade Clothes, where is your final destination?
“W-What!?”
What do you mean by "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"? Isn't this just going along with the crowd?
Zhong Ming couldn't help but laugh when he saw the shocked look on Gu Congxing's face.
"Brother, why are you still so annoying?"
He tilted his head and moved closer. He was a bit taller than Gu Congxing, so he bent over a bit when they stood face to face.
"If you can't even stand this scene, you'll be embarrassed soon."
"What does this mean?"
Zhong Ming smiled and said, "We will go find the Lord of Kuangye City soon. He not only values money but also women."
"He's been hanging around Meixiang Tower lately, and he's a real playboy. We'll go inside that building later, and that'll be a real spectacle."
Gu Congxing: ...
Zhong Ming is right.
When they walked through the brightly lit streets and arrived at the attic with pink lanterns hanging high, the live pornographic scene before them made Gu Congxing stop in his tracks.
Why... is there a waiter here?!
"Wow, what handsome guys~"
A graceful figure, whose gender was indistinguishable and whose eyes were as charming as silk, came to them with a twist of her waist.
"Are you two here to look for fragrance or to ask about willow?"
Zhong Ming waved the folding fan in his hand, looking calm and composed.
"Neither. Boss, we're here to look for someone."
"Who are you two looking for?"
Zhong Ming took out a piece of gold and placed it in the shopkeeper's hand. He said, "We heard that the esteemed City Lord is here, and we'd like to meet him."
The boss weighed the gold in his hand, and then carefully looked at the two men before saying:
"The City Lord is in a good mood today, so I don't think he'll blame you. But you should be careful not to make any mistakes in front of him."
Zhong Ming nodded: "Of course."
Knowing that the city lord was on the roof, the two of them entered the building one after the other. Gu Congxing walked without looking around, and his eyes only focused on the stairs below him.
Zhong Ming was watching Gu Congxing's tense and straight back and quick steps with great interest, but suddenly he heard his voice.
"The boss just now wasn't a demon... he was a human."
Zhong Ming raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Senior brother is indeed perceptive."
He took a step forward and walked side by side with Gu Congxing, blocking out some of the ambiguous gazes directed their way.
Zhong Ming: "The Demon Realm not only has demons and monsters, but also some human demon cultivators. Besides that... there are also some desperate humans."
The wooden stairs under my feet creaked, and Zhong Ming's voice was slow and clear.
"After all, it's good to have a place to call home, isn't it?"
Gu Congxing remained silent after hearing this.
After a moment, he shifted his gaze to the person next to him and fell into those deep dark golden eyes.
"So, where will your final destination be, little brother?"
Zhong Ming's brows relaxed, and he stared at Gu Congxing without blinking, and said with a smile: "Brother, why don't you take a guess?"
Is it the Qingxuan Sword Sect or the Demon Palace?
Gu Congxing was about to speak when he heard a gentle and tender voice.
"Ah, Lord Kuangye~"
Gu Congxing suddenly stopped, but at this moment the door in front of him had suddenly opened to both sides, revealing the luxurious and lewd scene inside.
A wild and unruly man was lying on his side on a soft golden nanmu chair. He had evil and handsome features, smooth and strong muscles, and his red clothes were loose, revealing his chest.
On his left was a young man with a delicate face, rosy lips and white teeth, feeding him a glass of translucent grapes. On his right was a graceful woman, leaning against his legs like a willow, her delicate hands reaching into his clothes.
Seeing the people coming outside, the two beautiful servants stopped what they were doing. The man who was surrounded was eating grapes slowly, looking forward with a pair of scarlet eyes.
Zhong Ming took the first step forward, waving his folding fan and speaking calmly:
"My name is Luo Ming, and I am honored to meet the City Lord today."
Gu Congxing also said: "I am Ganmu."
Kuang Ye's gaze moved between the two of them, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
He sat up lazily and raised his chin.
"Come forward."
The two of them moved forward a little more and heard the demon on the high seat chuckle again.
"Many have offered themselves for my bed, and you two are quite suitable for my taste, especially—"
"City Lord, something seems to have gone wrong."
Zhong Ming suddenly spoke, his expression unchanged, but his voice deeper: "You misunderstood. We came here only to make a deal."
"Oh?" Kuang Ye enjoyed the young man's shoulder massage, "What do you want?"
Gu Congxing looked him in the eye and said straight to the point: "Qingyang Pure Spirit Amber."
Zhong Ming then said, "I heard that the City Lord has countless treasures, and this magic weapon is one of them. If the City Lord is willing to part with it, we will definitely exchange it for something priceless."
However, Kuang Ye still looked meaningless and boring.
"Qingyang Pure Spirit Amber... Oh, I remember now. It's the treasure from the Deep Turtle Divine Swamp. Its luster is unparalleled, but it's of no use to me. It's just for show."
Gu Congxing's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and he thought there was something going on.
Zhong Ming: "City Lord, please name a price."
Unexpectedly, Kuang Ye acted completely bored and sneered, "How could I possibly be short of this little money? I've already collected most of the world's most precious treasures. But, beauties are so beautiful, I can never get enough."
His gaze suddenly shot towards Gu Congxing, his eyes lighting up.
"You don't look like a demon, but a human? This kind of immortal posture is the first time I have seen it. It is very rare." He raised the corner of his mouth and leaned forward a little. "If you follow me, I will give you that stone-"
"City Lord of Mad Night."
The sound of ice being quenched was heard, and the warm, fragrant and luxurious room instantly became like an ice cave.
Zhong Ming took a step forward. Gu Congxing could only see his back, but he could also feel the demonic energy surging around him.
The expressions of the two beautiful maids in front suddenly changed. Their faces turned pale, and their true forms were revealed. Their devilish horns and pointed tails suddenly appeared, and they almost fell to the ground.
Kuang Ye frowned slightly, and two black sharp horns appeared on his head.
Gu Congxing silently placed his hand on the hilt of the Whale-Slaying Sword, ready to strike—
"Oh, this is so boring, so boring~"
A light voice suddenly broke the tense atmosphere, and it came from Kuang Ye's mouth.
He held the two little demons, one on each side, and patted them soothingly.
"It's just a joke, why get so angry? Look how scared our little red and little green are."
Gu Congxing: ...When you said these two names, those two guys looked clearly confused.
Zhong Ming tilted his head: "So, what do you want?"
Kuang Ye now looked thoughtful and fell into silence.
"Well... not long ago, I set my eyes on a golden jade robe, but unfortunately, it was snatched away by a group of thieves. They fled everywhere, but their skills were quite strong, so I still haven't found it."
He propped up his head and raised his chin: "If you can find the Golden Jade Robe, I will give you the Qingyang Pure Spirit Amber."
Gu Congxing and Zhong Ming looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"make a deal."
Since the deal was done, the two of them didn't stay any longer and turned around to say goodbye.
Kuang Ye looked at their departing figures, a mocking and cold light flashing in his eyes.
As he walked downstairs, the commotion in Meixiang Building was still going on, though the night wind had picked up a bit. Gu Congxing passed a cubicle door and it suddenly blew open. He glanced at it and froze in shock.
In the dimly lit room, there were dozens of different bed tools on display! And not only the common jade dildos, but also restraints like shackles and chains.
They reflect the faint moonlight, as if waiting to be used.
Gu Congxing felt a chill on his back and immediately used his spiritual power to slam the door shut.
He didn't even look back and quickened his pace to leave.
Zhong Ming watched his movements, his eyes swept towards the room, his eyes moving slightly.
***
"They said they were helping him find the Golden Jade Cloth, but we don't know where it is."
The two came to a secluded place, and Gu Congxing leaned against the stone wall with his arms folded.
Zhong Ming rubbed against his side and said with a smile: "Senior Brother, I do have some ideas."
"oh?"
"Brother, do you know what else the Golden Jade Robe has to offer besides its immense value?"
Gu Congxing shook his head.
"It's also a heavenly-grade magical weapon, invulnerable to swords and spears, and impervious to water and fire. It's perfect for battling powerful enemies." Zhong Ming and Gu Congxing exchanged glances, raising their eyebrows. "What a coincidence! There's a group of idiots hiding in this city who want to defeat me. Brother, do you think this is a coincidence?"
Gu Congxing understood and said, "You mean, it was those spies who stole the Golden Jade Clothes."
"Not bad. Senior brother is indeed smart."
As Zhong Ming spoke, his smile suddenly froze. He glanced at a nearby spot, and his demonic aura stirred slightly.
"Let them run wild for a few more days, but I didn't expect these hyenas to have such sensitive noses."
Gu Congxing had also summoned the Whale-Slaying Sword, and the golden spiritual power suddenly spread out in all directions.
Someone is chasing us.
One, two... there were actually four people.
Zhong Ming whistled and chuckled, "It's less than I thought."
“Swish!”
Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard, Gu Congxing's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he immediately swung his sword to attack!
“Zheng!!”
All the flying knives and hidden weapons were blocked, and the long sword with a cold glow was about to stab again!
Gu Congxing's steps were as smooth as the waves and his sword was as fast as a swimming dragon. In the blink of an eye, he had avoided the blade and attacked immediately!
"Flowing Clouds, Floating Light!"
The golden sword force carried a tremendous amount of pressure, forcing out all the assassins who were lying in ambush in secret!
"Brother, let me come——"
Zhong Ming half-crouched on the ground, green light surged between his arms, and the dragon blood vine suddenly broke out of the ground!
They were like living things, with thick vines winding straight up around the dodging black masked figure!
The three figures were being entangled tighter and tighter, roaring like wild beasts. At this moment, three more black shadows in strong clothes rushed out from the shadows, aiming straight for Zhong Ming's head!
"Junior Brother!"
Gu Congxing's heart trembled, and he subconsciously rushed forward to stand in front of him!
"The Endless Art of the Phantom Sword——"
His spiritual power surged throughout his body, and the golden blade fell like a meteor!
"kill!!"
"puff--!"
Before those figures could dodge, they were pierced through the chest by the flowing blade array!
Looking at their fallen figures, Gu Congxing breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and asked, "Junior brother, are you injured?"
Zhong Ming had stood up without knowing when, with the ferocious dragon blood vine still shaking around him.
The two looked at each other, and Zhong Ming looked a little dazed. Then he blinked his eyes, and a bright light emerged.
"Brother, I'm fine."
The three figures that were previously entangled by the vines had also stopped moving. Gu Congxing glanced at them and then withdrew his gaze, moving closer to his side.
"Indeed, in my haste, I forgot that you no longer need my protection."
Gu Congxing was smiling, but Zhong Ming's lips trembled as he shook his head and said, "No, Brother, everything is still the same as before. You—Brother, be careful!!"
In a flash, something unexpected happened!
The black shadow that had already fallen to the ground was actually approaching behind him silently!
How is that possible?!
The blood-stained long knife stabbed towards Gu Congxing's back, and the dragon blood vine rushed forward like an afterimage and was cut into two pieces in an instant!
But these few seconds are enough!
Gu Congxing spun around and suddenly slashed down with the sword in both hands!
“Zheng——”
The two blades collided, making a clanging sound!
In the flickering light and shadow, Gu Congxing looked at the murderer, and instantly his whole body shuddered!
The pupils were dilated and the forehead was black... This murderer was clearly already dead!
