Otherworldly-Cultivator - Chapter 671: Enter Beidao City

Chapter 671: Enter Beidao City

“Wow! That city is really beautiful!” Qin Li and Xuanyuan Lingyan, who were standing on a tree, exclaimed in admiration, and their eyes sparkled as they looked towards the city.

Even Diao Hudie, Shao Yunxi, and Yan Qingcheng, who were much older than them, were also amazed by the beauty of Donghai City.

“Haha.” Feng Xian’er chuckled at their reactions. “Somehow, I feel they were country bumpkins going to the big city for the first time, hubby.”

“After all, the Seven Moon Realm is indeed more backward compared to this realm.” Chen Li responded with an amused smile as she observed the five women. “Even the Holy Moon City is still less advanced than Donghai City, especially since it is more similar to an ancient kingdom like on Earth in the past.”

Ye Xiaoling suddenly informed Chen Li. “There are some cultivators who are already half- step to the five god realms, so we should act more carefully, especially since we don’t know if they will be hostile towards us or not.”

“Hmm?” While opening her map, Chen Li turned to where Ye Xiaoling was pointing, and he discovered the identities of five demihumans from five different races who had indeed reached the half-god realm. “You’re right, Xiaoling. I’m not worried about myself or Xian’er, especially since we have our bloodlines. However, Lingyan and the others are different from us, so I want you to focus on protecting them.”

“All right, I will focus on protecting them.” Ye Xiaoling replied to Chen Li with a nod of agreement. “However, you and Xian’er must still be careful, especially if the five of them join forces to attack you two. Their high cultivation means they have connections with other demihumans’ higher-ups, so we’ll have trouble if we fight them.”

Chen Li agreed to Ye Xiaoling’s words and shouted at the five women. “Hey, guys! We’re going to enter Donghai City, and you can have fun there later.”

The five women immediately jumped down from the tree, and Chen Li led them to enter Donghai City. However, several male guards stopped them and charged them a fee for entering the city.

Unlike the five women, Chen Li and the other three women were not surprised, so he paid 4000 Lower Profound Stones for all of them before leading them directly into the city.

.

An elephant demihuman suddenly spoke to the others. “Hey, Xu Nian! Go find Lord Han Yuanji and inform him about the arrival of the five human cultivators.”

“Yes,”

After Xu Nian’s departure, the elephant demihuman spoke to his other friend, a male demihuman with a squirrel-like form. “Fan Mu! You can follow those humans for now, and you must report to Lord Chang Tian directly if they cause trouble in our city.”

“All right.” Fan Mu nodded in agreement before asking him. “How about you, Da Xiang?” “I’ll go see Lady Kong Que now.” Fan Mu raised his eyebrows after hearing Da Xiang’s answer. “Hehe! You must know her character, right? That human man looks handsome and strong, so I’m sure she will be interested in him, and she will give us some reward for this information.”

Unfortunately, they did not realize that Chen Li, Feng Xian’er, and Ye Xiaoling were listening to their conversation from a distance.

Despite their lack of concern for the guards’ actions, they remained vigilant against the demihumans that Da Xiang had previously mentioned, particularly given their titles, which indicated they were the leaders of Beidao City.

When Chen Li and the others walked down the city streets, the demihumans living there kept an eye on them because they were curious and suspicious about them at the same time. However, they were also confused by Qin Li and the others’ behavior, especially since they kept saying they admired the beauty of their city.

Since the five women only knew Beidao City, they didn’t know that the other cities in the Azure Mystic Realm and some cities in the Xidiao and Dongdao islands were as beautiful, which made them suspicious of their identities.

“Hey, hubby, you seem to have really good luck with women.” Feng Xian’er teased Chen Li as she hugged his arm in a spoiled manner. “We just arrived in this city, but soon there will be a female demihuman chasing after you. I think she’s probably a peacock demihuman, and she’s probably a beautiful lady, judging from her name, Kong Que.”

“Haha.” Chen Li laughed wryly at his first wife’s teasing. “For now, let’s wait for Kong Que to come to us, and we’ll see what kind of demihuman he is. If she truly is a peacock demihuman, she should possess a striking beauty. Despite being a beautiful creature, a peacock pales in comparison to phoenixes, particularly my little phoenix.”

“Hehe.” Feng Xian’er laughed softly before pointing towards a boat not far from their location. “Hubby, let’s ride that boat, so we can see the beauty of this water city.”

“I won’t join you guys, and I’ll wait for you at that inn.” Ye Xiaoling spoke to them while gesturing to a fairly tall building near the city center.

“We’ll catch up with you later, Xiaoling.” Feng Xian’er then pulled Chen Li away with her, and she also invited the other five women to go with them.

Ye Xiaoling let out a soft sigh at seeing them like that. She was not surprised that Shao Yunxi and the others acted like tourists in the city, but Feng Xian’er was different from them. After all, she was Empress Feng, and she had seen almost every corner of the universe, but she still acted like those women.

After that, Ye Xiaoling immediately walked away towards the inn, but her eyes repeatedly glanced at Fan Mu, who was hiding behind the trees, and he felt confused about whether to follow him or Chen Li’s group.

In the end, Fan Mu chose to follow Chen Li’s group because their numbers outnumbered Ye Xiaoling’s, who was alone.

•

Meanwhile, Chen Li and the others had already boarded the boat, and a male demihuman, who looked like a bear, was pushing it with a long pole from the stern.

*Splash… Splash…*

Qin Li suddenly dipped his hand into the water before tasting it. “Eh? Does this city have a direct connection to the ocean? Why is the water in this city so salty?”

“Young miss, you shouldn’t put your hand in the water.” Qin Li and the others immediately turned to the male demihuman, who promptly provided an explanation. “This canal looks calm from above, but there are so many powerful aquatic beasts inside, and some of them are truly ferocious. If one of those beast races sees your hand in the water, they will immediately pounce on it and eat it, and you will undoubtedly lose your hand.”

“Huh?” Qin Li and the others were shocked to hear that. “Is that true, sir? What kind of aquatic beast eats human flesh?”

The male demihuman immediately explained it to them again. “The beast is known as a corpse-eating fish, and its appearance is truly disgusting. However, they prefer to stay deep and rarely surface. Even so, it would be better if you were still careful, especially since their swimming speed is very fast, and they can reach the surface in a matter of seconds.”

“Corpse-eating fish?” Shao Yunxi and the others turned to Chen Li immediately. “He did not lie to you all.” Chen Li then twirled her fingers in the air and showed them the beast’s form, shocking them, especially since it was truly disgusting, as the male demihuman had said earlier. “Usually, the corpse-eating fish live in the seabed, but they always come to the surface to feed. In fact, they always move in groups, and they will eat anything in front of them, especially if they are starving. If they attack a large beast, such as the golden-armored bear, it can vanish in mere seconds, leaving only the bones.”

“Your friend is right, young misses.” The male demihuman spoke to them again. “There is still a terrifying aquatic beast race in this water, especially due to the numerous thorns on its body. Each thorn contains nerve toxin, rendering even your Qi insufficient to protect you. If you are exposed to their poison, then all your nerves will slowly harden, and you will experience extreme pain that will make you suffer greatly before you die.”

Yan Qingcheng and the others shuddered after hearing the male demihuman’s explanation,

and none of them dared to put their hands in again.

Feng Xian’er suddenly asked the male demihuman. “Sir, can you tell me about Lady Kong

Que?”

Hearing the name made the male demihuman’s body stiffen, and he turned to Chen Li before issuing a warning. “Young man, I advise you to run away immediately if Lady Kong Que comes to you; otherwise, these six young misses will suffer from losing you, and you will

never be able to see them again.”

Yan Qingcheng asked him. “Sir, what do you mean by that? Is Lady Kong Que that terrifying?”

The male demihuman took a deep breath and nodded. “Lady Kong Que is renowned for her beauty, but many people say that she has a terrifying side behind it. She forced many male humans and demihumans to her place, and they never returned, so you should be cautious of

her.”
