The Hedonist Sword God - Chapter 396
Honestly, as someone who considered himself a veteran in the cultivation world, Jian Shen knew that the women weren’t any less than the men regardless of which field it was in. Be it in strength and talent, or cunningness and selfishness.
While not all women were sly and only cared about achieving their goals in any way, Jian Shen had seen his own fair share of them.
Even so, he never expected that almost all women here were of the same type.
After all, not even the ashes of those who came here to fight for them had disappeared in the wind yet and they were all trying to seduce him because he possessed the Rainbow Garland.
“I’m willing to serve you forever, master!”
“Here, you’ll never be able to find a woman with a better pair of breasts.”
“Aahhhh, just looking at you is giving me an orgasm young noble.”
“You’re…”
Unable to stop his lips from smiling proudly since it wasn’t every day that so many women tried to seduce him at the same time by drowning him in compliments, Jian Shen’s eyes quickly found that among these women not only were a few of them more attractive than Bingyao, some of them were even stronger than the strongest man he killed just now.
Seeing this, Jian Shen sucked in a cold breath because this just went to show how they were willing to seduce men and use them as pawns to test the waters.
This was also when he came to a decision.
Even though Bingyao wasn’t any better than all of the women here and came to him for her own benefit, Jian Shen had a slightly better impression of her because she had patiently waited for him all the while he was inside the Fire God’s Lotus.
Due to this, Jian Shen chose to ignore all the other women and flew back near Bingyao who was once again drowned in a sea of jealous filled eyes.
At that moment though, Bingyao was in no mood to care about what the other women thought about her. After all, just like Jian Shen she had also seen those few women who looked better than her.
Therefore, she never once expected for Jian Shen to choose her when they had no mentionable relationship between each other.
Still, she wasn’t moved or anything since this she was sure that Jian Shen had made this decision for his own reason and it didn’t have anything to do with what either of them felt about each other.
At the same time though, Bingyao wasn’t the ungrateful kind due to which she said. “Thank you, young noble, I’ll make sure your decision to pick me is a good one.”
“How do you plan on doing that?”
“Others might not know about how the City of Beginnings works, but I do. Given how flowers exist inside this place even after everyone who enters this place is kicked out, I who am capable of communicating with them know everything I need to about this place.”
Stunned for a few seconds, Jian Shen smiled a little towards this unexpected gain. The only reason he picked Bingyao was since he had to give some woman the Rainbow Garland because it couldn’t be stored and she seemed like the best choice.
Due to this, finding out that she had information about the City of Beginnings made Jian Shen feel that he made the proper choice by choosing her out of the countless intoxicating women.
But in the end, Jian Shen couldn’t resist the urge to turn his head and look towards all of the other women whom he was rejecting while thinking that it was a pity he couldn’t obtain all of them.
…
“How confident are you in this information?”
“One flower might lie, but not three hundred of them.”
Catching Jian Shen’s slightly suspicious look, Bingyao didn’t seem offended and instead explained, “While waiting for you to leave the Fire God’s Lotus, I spent my time communicating with as many flowers as possible including the Fire God’s Lotus itself to find out as much about the City of Beginnings.”
Nodding his head, Jian Shen didn’t seem the slightest bit embarrassed at how he had been caught looking towards her with suspicion.
“Never did I expect for the City of Beginnings to function in such a way. No wonder so many people die every time it is opened.”
“Great opportunities and risks always travel side by side.”
Not saying anything else, the two of them continued flying aimlessly in the same direction since they were each lost in their own thoughts.
It was somewhere around this time that Jian Shen who snapped out of his thoughts while thinking about how the City of Beginnings worked noticed what was happening to Bingyao who had the Rainbow Garland around her wrist.
As if she wasn’t already beautiful, Bingyao who had the colourful garland around her wrist was now standing out even more.
And as if this wasn’t enough, there was some translucent energy flowing out of the rainbow-like garland and covering Bingyao who was undergoing a qualitative change while being covered by it.
The change wasn’t obvious at first, but soon Jian Shen found out that the woman’s external appearance was slowly but surely changing.
Starting with her skin which was a shade whiter right now, Bingyao’s appearance was just a subtle bit more enchanting. But this of course also had to do with the fact that she was now excluding an otherworldly charm and a scent which only the worlds best-maintained flower gardens could release.
