Ye Tianzhen couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his forehead, as if pricked by needles.
What kind of monstrous behavior is this? Making Junior Sister Gu Nishang break a boulder on her chest is one thing, but how come even Luanfeng was brought along to be a laborer?
Ye Tian looked at the proud phoenix on the brothel floor and saw a hint of joy and smugness in its expression.
It was actually happy, like a goose crossing the street, raising its head like an invincible general, charging forward recklessly.
He walked from the east side of the brothel to the west side, then suddenly looked up, arrogant and overbearing. Ye Tian remarked, "This fool is destined to be a wage slave for life."
And whatever you do, don't let it evolve.
Otherwise, there would be the world's first phoenix to publicly perform breathing fire, which would be a disgrace to the phoenix world.
The disgrace of the Phoenix Realm—what a jarring name it sounds.
They thought this was the bottom line the Ruthless Sect could go, but unexpectedly, the next one to perform was the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon.
Quite some time has passed since Ye Tian first held them in his arms. Yet, they still haven't begun cultivating; they only possess some innate talent and instincts.
Ye Tian really couldn't understand how two little guys who hadn't even started cultivating and had no level of cultivation or ability could possibly start cultivating.
Just as he was thinking this, the group from the Ruthless Sect, led by Daoist Wuchen, gave him a solid lesson.
What a magnificent sight it was! Ye Tian believed that even a decade or more later, he would never forget this scene he had witnessed from the rooftop during the Spring Festival in the Book City of Fengchao. When an iron ring was thrown up from a great height, a blazing flame erupted, turning the iron ring into a ring of fire.
Two tiny dragons, each the size of a human arm, rose into the air like dragons. They darted into the ring of fire, swimming in the air like fish in water, constantly emerging from or entering the ring of fire.
It was a beautiful view, but a scene that Ye Tian found hard to understand.
Why can this shoddy art be considered a performance? But he can't complain, because he's not on stage; he's conveniently disappeared. Otherwise, he'd be doing this low-class stuff too.
Of course, for the ordinary people in the bookstore, this was not inferior. In fact, it was the most classic acrobatic performance they had seen in decades.
Whether it's a petite and delicate little girl who can have a giant hammer smash a boulder into dust at her chest, or a bald chicken that can breathe fire, or a little dragon that can swim and soar through the air.
This Spring Festival Lantern Festival is a day that the people of Fengchao Bookstore will never forget, a day that will forever be etched in their hearts.
Ye Tian was finally too embarrassed to watch any longer. It was too shameful, especially with Kong Chan and Chen Zhang right in front of him, making Ye Tian feel ashamed as if his family scandal had been aired in public.
So Ye Tian stopped waiting and quickly left the vicinity of the Lantern Festival. He had just flown forward as if riding the clouds when he encountered a person with a very pale face. He couldn't quite describe the person's appearance, but he looked very pale and weak. He looked like a scholar suffering from extreme kidney deficiency, about to be blown away by the wind.
Ye Tian ignored him and continued on his way, as he needed to return to Xianrenju. His contract with the academy was nearing its end, and with the exhibition match over, it was time for him to go home. Otherwise, if those old guys like Kong Chan caught him, he would either be forced to write poetry or be nagged about how pathetic his performance this time was.
Just as Ye Tian was about to return, he saw the pale-faced man again at the entrance of the Immortal Abode. His skin was as white as powder, but not a healthy white; it was deathly pale, like a sheet of white paper brushed with powder, devoid of any blood. His nose was covered with dense freckles, his lips were tightly closed, and his brows were furrowed. He seemed to be worried about something, his eyes fixed intently on the Immortal Abode behind Ye Tian. He sighed occasionally, as if grieving over something.
A sense of doubt arose in Ye Tian's heart, and he couldn't help but ask, "There's worry in your eyes. What are you worried about?"
The worry in his eyes even affected Ye Tian's mood. It made him look rather unlucky, so Ye Tian asked directly.
Once the question was asked, the answer was obtained.
The man, dressed in hemp clothing and cloth shoes, with an extremely pale face, looked terrible. His body swayed like a flickering campfire. His lips parted slightly, and he smiled bloodlessly, saying, "I'm thinking about where to bury you after I kill you."
"Immortal Abode is a decent burial ground, but you are not worthy to be buried there." Upon hearing these extremely offensive words, Ye Tian's voice turned slightly cold as he spoke icily.
"Hehe." The pale-faced man's aura exploded, revealing him to be a first-level Great Luo Golden Immortal! Although Ye Tian possessed the second level of the Golden Immortal realm, he was capable of challenging a seventh-level Golden Immortal with the cross-level combat ability granted by the system.
But compared to this pale-faced man, she was still far inferior.
The first level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is six levels higher than the previous one. Six levels is not a chasm that can be easily crossed.
What should Ye Tian do then?
The only way is to run, using the Heaven-Stepping and Earth-Treading Spirit Boots that are faster than even a Great Luo Golden Immortal, to run as far as possible. Of course, there is always a finish line to running, and that is the academy.
With senior academy members like Kong Chan and Chen Zhang around, as long as they could escape back, they would be safe. Unfortunately, this person would never let them go back so easily.
In Ye Tian's mind, these scholars from the academy had quietly transformed from old guys into senior figures.
