Chapter 109: Revealing the Mortal Realm
Taking care of the aftermath was a lot easier than Shen initially thought.
The experts of the Joyous Sect didn’t want to attract attention. Due to the pillar of light, many hidden experts even from far continents gathered around this region of Greencloud Continent. If there’s too much conspicuous activity they might get interested, leading to endless misfortune.
On top of that, Yu Yu’s flame burned the bodies of all enemy experts without burning their items. As Shen expected, within the interspatial sachet of Elder Xiange, he found two portraits of Wenren Wushuang and one of Wenren Wugou, Yu Ruyan, Mingyue Gelou, Feng Wuxi and Yu He. There were also portraits of unknown women and they all had their unique charm. Not to mention they were not lacking in terms of beauty or figure in any way. What astounded him more was the collection of erotic books. This was his first time seeing them after arriving in this world!
But... the contents forced him to immediately closed the book. Shen cursed Elder Xiange’s taste under his breath. It’s fine if you like young girls but look at your age. Plus, these books were a little bit... extreme?
It was decided they would be disposed of!
And Shen became somewhat sure of his guess. “Looks like the future holds endless troubles for me...” Shen mumbled while cleaning the room of the robes, clothing, and items. He also checked for any damages but contrary to the fight between powerhouses there was only a minimal amount of damage. Only the guards on the gate were killed. It caused a fierce commotion and taking care of that was troublesome enough. He had little to no experience in handling the aftermath of a fight.
He handsomely compensated their families but with no working men in their family, gradually they would fall into destitute.
Shen decided to put them aside momentarily. He had connection with Shi Clan but if possible, he didn’t want to owe a favor to them. Qing Yi was not within the Hundred Miles City, once she returned to the Qing Medicinal Hall, he would ask her if they could hire the women in their field of medicine. If it was Qing Clan, he didn’t need to owe any favor or thanks.
By the time he was done taking care of everything, the east had already brightened. A new day has come.
Wenren Wugou stuck tightly with the body of Shen as Wenren Wushuang glared at him hatefully, at the same time inquiring what’s happening. What could he do in his predicament? Wugou acted similar to a traumatized maiden but she pushed her breasts against his body, she even wrapped her legs around his, letting him feel something dangerous.
The more intimate Wugou’s actions got, the more dangerous glare revealed from the eyes of Wushuang. Shen helplessly told Situ Bufan’s side of the story as the actions taken by Wugou got more and more flirtatious. He even felt a similar aura of Yu Yu from her body. In such little time she got proficient in cultivation and technique.
Wenren Wushuang felt Shen’s explanation made sense and even the point, they arrived at the Night Fragrance Court first because of Situ Bufan’s advice.
In the case of Situ Bufan, he was still living, that is, if his condition could be counted as living. Shen used Absolute Existence after a long time and it was a bit too much effective. After Situ Bufan spilled out everything, he became brain-dead. Even if he could stare, it was unknown whether he could see or not. But at the very least, no matter how many times his name was called, there was no reaction from him.
Shen had the plans of getting rid of Situ Clan. It was not just because of the idiotic Situ Bufan, even the patriarch and grand elder of the Situ Clan was no good news. They could stab from behind any time.
But the time was a bit sensitive for him to take action. As he won the competition and Hundred Miles City gained a huge amount of territorial resources for the next nine years, the city was undergoing through a transformation. If he destroys a major clan of the city at this time without proper reason, this might be seen as monopolizing resources and also, the city’s reputation might fall rock-bottom.
Wenren Wugou returned with a sullen expression to Yuyu, “Sister Yu... why didn’t my technique work on Shen? He didn’t even look uncomfortable no matter how I tried to tempt him...”
Yuyu sighed, “Even I’m not sure whether my abilities would work on him or not, and how dare you complain?”
“What?! Even sister Yu can’t, I have no hope... I thought I would finally drag him to bed and we would flirt intimately...” Wugou looked depressed as if her entire effort on cultivating was completely useless.
Yuyu was also put in a troubled position. Wenren Wugou had the bloodline of her race. It was faint but if Wugou continued cultivating properly, she would find treasures that could strengthen her bloodline no matter what. But other than her sister, this girl had only one thing in her head.
And that was Shen.
It was because she motivated Wugou that if she followed her instructions, she’d have complete control over Shen’s affection. Only then did Wugou put her heart on cultivation, never letting her age and talent waver her.
“That’s not true, Gou’er. I might not have a chance since he instinctively maintains a certain distance from me, but you. He never put up his mental resistance towards you and you will have a better chance to affect him with my technique.” Yuyu intimately grabbed the soft hand of Wugou and explained while tracing her finger on her delicate cheek.
The cheeks of Wugou flushed red as a happy smile emerged on her face, “E-eh, do you really think so?”
“Of course, just follow my instruction and you will soon be able to do it.” Yuyu didn’t lie to her, but it wasn’t completely true either.
Wenren Wugou suddenly puffed her cheeks, “Still, how rude of him to put up guard against my sister! Let me see how I teach you a lesson,” she said in a half-happy half-angry tone.
“You,” Yuyu looked at her in a strange light and pulled on her cheeks, “Little girl, isn’t that your fault to trust on someone else so easily? If it was someone else, they might have used you and take over your business!”
“Eh, but Sister Yuyu is not such a person.”
Yuyu wished to facepalm hard so she decided to change the topic, “What will you do if you were deceived by a fake Shen?”
“I’ll never be deceived!” an instant reply.
“Is that so?” Yuyu asked as if to confirm before nudging her head lightly.
Wenren Wugou found her vision blurry before everything around her changed. The flirtatious yet pure hearted woman couldn’t take in what appeared next, “S-so many Shen?!?!”
Hundreds of Shen appeared out of nowhere and many of them had only lower garment on. Some even had buff-muscle, which didn’t exist on Shen and there was also plenty of frail looking Shen. The young woman couldn’t take anymore as her body went limp before her consciousness also entered in the dream world.
“This...” Yuyu let out a profound sigh while rubbing her temple.
...
Objectively speaking, Shen had fulfilled all his target within Hundred Miles City. Even in Cang Lang County, there weren’t many things he wanted. But there was still a few. The interspatial sachet on the Ten Thousand Turtle Swamp as well as the Spirit Snake Turtle. However, with his current strength, it wasn’t feasible to tame the Spirit Snake Turtle. So the plan to tame the snake turtle and obtaining the interspatial sachet was pushed back until he had enough power.
And now, he was inside the Mortal Realm... along with Yu Ruyan and Mingyue Gelou. At first, he wanted to show Yu Ruyan and wanted to get her opinion. Later he included Mingyue Gelou as a form of apology since he had to deal with Joyous Sect expert last night, hence breaking his promise with her.
As expected both stared at the scenery, dumbstruck. For a few minutes, no one said a word and Shen calmly looked over them. Finally, they looked like they accepted reality. This was not any kind of teleportation but a space inside Shen’s body. At least, that’s what the description Shen gave them.
“This land is quite big,” Yu Ruyan thought out loud. They were below a mountain, from this place the wide expanse couldn’t be seen. But they could still deduce that much.
“Yes, can you see that line of mist? That’s the limit of this space. It might be possible to expand this space later on. So far I don’t have any idea how to do so.” Shen added while guiding them towards the peak of the mountain and there was another bout of silence. But this time Yu Ruyan directed her gaze at him.
“Mind explaining what’s that?”
“Ah, well... how should I say? I found a strange golden tablet. Later it somehow turned to this... I don’t know much about this thing either, no use asking me.” shrugged Shen.
Yu Ruyan sighed, she knew she wouldn't be able to get anything out of right now.
“Wow, isn’t that beautiful?” Mingyue Gelou still had a calm appearance as she seemed to take everything so easily. To her, everything was possible if it was her young master and lover.
“Haha, shall we take a look? It’s really grandiose inside.” Shen laughed as he placed his hands on her hip and rubbed lightly.
“Hah,” Yu Ruyan sighed in exasperation, “I shouldn’t be surprised that you already took a look inside!”
“Relax, there’s no danger.”
Yu Ruyan flew towards the entrance of Heavenly Emperor Palace while Shen and Mingyue Gelou followed behind her from the ground. About Yu Ruyan’s real power, only a few selected individuals knew and one of them being Mingyue Gelou. So she wasn’t a bit surprised seeing Yu Ruyan fly.
Shen was tempted to use the teleportation method but for now, he decided not to show too much. Digesting one by one would be more appropriate, especially in the case of something as big as this palace. Even he had an extremely limited amount of knowledge of this palace.
For the next hour, Shen patiently explained everything to Yu Ruyan. Such as the bits he knew about the palace and limitation of people inside this realm. Mingyue Gelou didn’t pay attention to their conversations. She found contentment in doing whatever she was instructed but she still carefully listened to anything Shen informed her.
What truly relieved Shen was the duo Gong Shang and Kaidi didn’t jump on him as usual. Else, he would truly have to do some explaining. He didn’t call Kaidi as she could be anywhere, possibly inside the Immortal Realm. When he secretly called Gong Shang a few times, all he met with was silence. For the time being, he decided to let it go and find her when Yu Ruyan and Mingyue Gelou returned.
Unknowingly Shen found himself in a garden together with Yu Ruyan and Mingyue Gelou. This was his first time, this place looked well-organized and clean. There was a table and a few graceful chairs. In a corner, there was even a bookshelf.
The garden had a variety of flowers Shen didn’t even see or heard of. Their colors were also very unique. Some of them had a mixture of different colors. A star-shaped flower had five petals and every petal had a different color. They didn’t look strange but rather created a synergy with the background flowers.
Shen went up to the bookshelves touched a purple covered book, expecting it to crumble into powders. Unexpectedly, the book withstood his touch without even showing any weakness. With great surprise, Shen looked at the cover.
LEGEND OF LEGENDARY SUMMONSBYTIAN LANG
Shen flipped a page, unlike professional books there wasn’t much to it, so he turned to the next page.
Now, here I am. Writing a book about my own life. I have read many books in my life, err... was forced to. I definitely won’t spoil you telling who it was but if you keep reading this book, my book. You will eventually know who it was. BUT, know this, this is my first time writing one. I definitely created/wrote uncountable amount of techniques but I have no idea how to write a novel or story, whatever you like to call it. So, this will be just be scribbling about my life from the very start.
Huh? You can’t believe that I can write from the very start? I can’t remember my childhood?
Then damn you! I have the Im-- oops! No spoiling, I’ve been told multiple times, so I’ll keep my calm, but just know this, you mortals... well, I don’t think there will be any immortals useless enough to read my books, anyway! Just know this, I remember everything from the very start...
“Alright, why would there be even such an idiotic book here? Some delusional Immortal? Bah!” Shen closed the book and shoved it onto the bookshelf and thought no matter which world, there were bound to be delusional.
