Capítulo 2138: Chapter 2405: Are You Deaf?
Ren Feifan initially planned to buy a mount to travel quickly to Pilgrimage Mountain, but now he found out there were no shops within a ten-mile radius, so it seemed he had to rely on his own two feet.
Fortunately, the two of them were not weak in cultivation, so traveling wasn’t too troublesome.
The desolation was overwhelming; they had traveled for an hour without encountering a single soul!
From the outskirts came the occasional shriek of monster beasts, adding to the bleakness of the place.
The Dragon Girl instinctively grabbed Ren Feifan’s hand, timidly saying: “Brother Feifan.”
Don’t mistake the Dragon Girl’s usual fearless, mischievous demeanor for bravery; in reality, she was quite faint-hearted.
As they walked further, the gusting eerie wind made one’s heart palpitate.
“Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Soon, a shadow flickered, and Ren Feifan’s Spiritual Sense had already noticed its presence. With a cold snort, a bolt of Spiritual Fire shot out from his hand!
The shadow instantly burned and turned into a wisp of smoke.
It was just a monster beast.
“We must quicken our pace; these monster beasts can track us by scent.”
Ren Feifan said.
“Alright.” The Dragon Girl nodded.
With rapid strides, they traveled for another hour before finally escaping the ghostly place, and they saw a bustling area ahead.
“Brother Feifan, look, there are people! And there are shops!” The Dragon Girl said excitedly.
She had long had enough of the atmosphere here.
Ren Feifan looked into the distance, his eyes narrowing slightly. Clearly, there was a trace of Spiritual Energy there, and it was gathered by a formation.
This method of gathering Spiritual Energy was undoubtedly the work of a formidable figure.
Throughout this journey as an Array Master, he could clearly sense the underground Spiritual Energy flowing in one direction.
He was convinced that the end of this direction was Pilgrimage Mountain.
To drain Spiritual Energy from one hundred miles around, only Pilgrimage Mountain in the entire Hidden Gate could achieve that.
“Let’s go, we’ll find a place to eat, rest for the night, and then hit the road again.” Ren Feifan instructed.
“Okay, Brother Feifan.”
Soon, the two figures, one large and one small, passed through a formation and entered inside.
Once inside, Ren Feifan found it completely different from outside, with people everywhere. Crucially, their cultivation realms were not low; they were likely all heading to Pilgrimage Mountain.
Weren’t the keys to Pilgrimage Mountain supposed to be rare?
The two of them circled around, finding most taverns fully occupied.
The Dragon Girl, with keen eyesight, spotted an empty seat and promptly pulled Ren Feifan over to sit.
After taking their seats, the Dragon Girl unabashedly ordered a tableful of delicious dishes.
“Brother Feifan, did you notice several strong auras scanning us? These people think they’re awesome just because their realms are high, behaving so recklessly.” The Dragon Girl whispered as the dishes had yet to arrive.
Ren Feifan remained silent, naturally aware of the scanning auras from strong ones around, especially their unfriendly gazes.
“Better stay cautious.” Ren Feifan reminded.
At that moment, three more people walked in, two men and one woman.
A woman among them caught Ren Feifan’s attention. She had shoulder-length hair, lively black eyes under her bangs, clear and spirited.
Delicate eyebrows, a soft nose bridge, and small lips fittingly placed on her oval, pretty face. Despite appearing rather gentle, she exuded a hint of allure.
“Charm Cultivation Technique?”
That was Ren Feifan’s first reaction, but then he shook his head, as women who practiced such cultivation techniques usually dressed provocatively; this woman was quite conservative instead.
“Forget it, just another passerby.”
Ren Feifan shook his head and dismissed the thought, chatting with Dragon Girl about their upcoming journey.
The two men and one woman at the entrance glanced at the fully occupied seats, and one of them furrowed his brows unhappily.
The man with a scruffy beard cursed: “What the hell, so many people! Aren’t they all going to Pilgrimage Mountain?”
The somewhat arrogant young man scanned the surroundings, seemingly noticing something, and said to the woman beside him: “Little Junior Sister, wait here for me, I’ll get you a seat.”
The young man speaking was Zhou Kuang, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Extreme Spirit Sect in the Hidden Gate, exceptionally talented and far surpassing ordinary Hidden Gate cultivators.
The Little Junior Sister nodded, without speaking.
Soon, Zhou Kuang came to Ren Feifan and Dragon Girl’s table.
Why choose this table? Simply because it looked the weakest in the entire tavern.
Ren Feifan gave him the impression of being easily bullied, with average stature, resembling a loose cultivator, seemingly not a strong figure, like a soft target, best to squeeze.
And bringing a child along, in any case, he would take a child’s face into account and back down.
Zhou Kuang placed several high-grade Spirit Stones on the table and ordered: “This table is mine, get lost, these Spirit Stones are enough for you to eat better elsewhere!”
Looking at Ren Feifan, Zhou Kuang felt a strange pride; not just a talent of Extreme Spirit Sect, he also had an illustrious background. This time, Extreme Spirit Sect had given them their remaining three keys to Pilgrimage Mountain, hoping for them to find an opportunity there. Upon returning, he might become the youngest elder of Extreme Spirit Sect!
Upon hearing this, Dragon Girl and Ren Feifan frowned slightly.
The Dragon Girl couldn’t help but retort: “Didn’t you see people sitting here? Find a place to eat elsewhere yourself!”
Zhou Kuang was astounded, not expecting such sharp words from the little girl. Coldly snorting, he took out several more Spirit Stones: “These, enough for you to scram, right?”
Ren Feifan and Dragon Girl didn’t bother with this idiot, the dishes were served, and they started eating directly.
Zhou Kuang felt his pride wounded and took out a handful of Spirit Stones: “This is my limit, you’d better not push it!”
In speaking, some of his spittle fell into the dishes on the table.
Ren Feifan’s eyes filled with anger, swallowing the food in his mouth, he directly said: “Take your money and scram! Otherwise, face death!”
Zhou Kuang’s face turned grim hearing that: “Don’t be ignorant; if you don’t move aside, I’ll show you what crushing defeat means!”
His voice was loud, causing everyone to look over.
The Little Junior Sister also sensed the trouble, knowing they were near Pilgrimage Mountain, and if her senior brother provoked many, it would be problematic.
She quickly walked over, grabbing Zhou Kuang’s hand: “Senior Brother, let it be, this is their place.”
Zhou Kuang was about to say something when another table nearby finished eating and prepared to leave; the Little Junior Sister quickly pulled Zhou Kuang to sit down: “Senior Brother, now there’s a seat, right?”
After speaking, the woman apologized to Ren Feifan: “Deep apologies, my senior brother has a bad temper, but isn’t bad-hearted. My name is Cheng Qinxin, let’s get acquainted.”
The woman even extended her hand with a charming smile.
However, Ren Feifan did not extend his hand; for some reason, this woman made him feel uncomfortable.
Better to avoid contact.
Cheng Qinxin’s hand hung awkwardly, eventually having to withdraw it helplessly.
Seeing this, Zhou Kuang couldn’t hold back anymore, stood up, and slammed his palm on Ren Feifan’s table!
“Bang!”
The dishes on the table barely touched were shattered, juices splattering all over!
“Are you fucking deaf? Didn’t you hear my Little Junior Sister speaking to you!”
