CHAPTER 1070: CHAPTER 1044: THREE WOMEN, ONE DRAMA

Tangyu’s words, to others, seemed extremely arrogant. Although this was Jiuzhou City, a prince was still a prince, and his status and position were evident. He was the heir to a second-tier power, and yet a disciple of a third-tier power dared to provoke him? Wasn’t that a death wish?

Upon hearing such words, the prince of the Flame Nation was naturally furious. How dare someone challenge the dignity of a prince? It was practically a suicidal act. If it were a prince from another nation, it might be forgivable. But these people, clearly from a third-tier force, dared to disrespect the hierarchy. It was simply unbeknownst to propriety.

Hearing this, the captain of the guard immediately drew his sword, pointed it at Tangyu, and shouted loudly, "You insolent dog, kneel at once or I will end your life!"

"Courting death!" Tangyu was thoroughly enraged and was about to strike down the guard captain when suddenly, a booming and majestically authoritative voice rang out, "Do you all not want to live? How dare you cause trouble at the city gate and disrupt the entry order. If you don’t behave, you’ll all die right here!"

This voice was so authoritative that no one doubted its words. And naturally, the speaker was the commander of the City Guard Army at Jiuzhou City’s gate. Judging by the powerful aura emanating from him, he was evidently a Golden Core Realm expert, and not just an ordinary one at that.

Upon hearing this voice, Tangyu finally restrained his actions and held back.

The Flame Nation’s side had also quieted down. It was no joke; even though the prince was from the Flame Nation, causing trouble in Jiuzhou City was akin to seeking death. If the City Guard of Jiuzhou killed him, even the Flame Nation would not dare utter a word. After all, this Jiuzhou City represented the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, acting as their worldly representative. Moreover, the City Lord of Jiuzhou City was a Vice Sect Leader of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect. Technically, the City Guard Army of Jiuzhou City were members of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, though not officially disciples.

Indeed, representing the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, they could kill without anyone daring to object. Even if it were a king causing trouble here, they would dare kill him, let alone a mere prince?

"Hmph, a bunch of lowly people. Wait until I find an opportunity to kill you all, then I can vent my anger," the eldest prince of the Flame Nation snorted angrily, glared viciously at Tangyu and his group, and temporarily held back his anger.

Holy Sun said, "Let’s go, Brother Tangyu. It’s just an arrogant prince. He’s accustomed to being unruly, so he acts ostentatiously here. This is Jiuzhou City, where princes and princesses have no esteem. Heh, if we have the chance, we should have a sparring match with them and teach them a lesson. It would be more satisfying than anything."

Tangyu and his companions entered the city. Upon entering, they were greeted by roads that branched off in all directions. On both sides stood magnificent buildings, orderly and imposing, creating a breathtaking visual spectacle that felt like entering an Immortal City.

This atmosphere was indescribably overwhelming.

The Flame Nation’s group followed closely behind, and the eldest prince shot a vicious glance at Tangyu and his friends, curling his lips scornfully, "You better not fall into my hands, or you’ll wish for death."

Tangyu sneered, "The ones who’ll wish for death will be you."

Hua Wuliang grinned, "Wishing for death isn’t much fun. For trash like you, just kill them; torturing them is a waste of time and energy."

The faces of the Flame Nation princes were extremely ugly. Having been pampered all their lives, they had never suffered such humiliation and were furious enough to kill on the spot. However, in Jiuzhou City, they dared not make a move.

Tangyu and his companions paid them no mind and casually chose a road to move forward, intending to find an inn and settle down first.

Tangyu looked around, noticing that the sky above the city was shrouded in a layer of misty radiance, creating a special feeling of immortality for those within.

"Unbelievable, the entire Jiuzhou City is covered by an enormous protective formation. Beyond the city-guarding formation, there are countless small formations protecting every building. Indeed, it lives up to the title of the world’s foremost city," Tangyu marveled.

Tangyu had some research on formations, but the path of formations was incredibly challenging. Without a good master to teach, achieving success was difficult. Tangyu’s knowledge was limited to a few minor studies, not truly an entry into the path of formations. However, the formations in Jiuzhou City were easily perceivable, clearly reminding everyone not to cause trouble within the city.

Holy Sun and the others nodded in agreement, utterly astonished.

Due to the upcoming Jiuzhou Immortal Sect disciple selection, business in the city’s inns was booming. Tangyu and his group visited several establishments but found them all fully booked.

Finally, they found an independent courtyard available in a renowned inn called ’Penglai Inn.’ This inn offered not only small rooms but also independent courtyards for accommodation. The inns were enormous, comparable to five-star hotels on Earth. If compared, larger inns could rival a vacation island in size.

The Penglai Inn they found was as big as about ten standard five-star hotels.

Despite the vastness of the inn, it was completely full, with only one independent courtyard left available, showing just how busy it was.

Tangyu nodded, "Good, we’ll take it."

"Waiter, we’ll take this courtyard for a month." At this moment, a melodious female voice rang out.

Following the voice, three women quickly approached. They were none other than Zhou Xi, Su Yijun, and Yun Qi.

Upon seeing these three, Hua Wuliang was so startled he almost bit his own tongue and hurriedly hid behind Tangyu, as if he’d seen a ghost.

The three of them, Zhou Xi, were just about to fight and kill each other, but now they stand together as if they were as close as sisters. Women, they’re really hard to understand. Such a change is truly surprising.

But this is the unique characteristic of women, I suppose.

If it were someone else trying to take it, Tangyu and the others would naturally be very upset. However, since it’s Zhou Xi and the other two women, Tangyu and the others could only shake their heads.

The innkeeper looked troubled and said, "Well, there’s only one courtyard left. You all want it, so what now? Can’t exactly split it in half, can we?"

Wang Qiutian pouted and said, "If you have the ability to do that, then go ahead."

The innkeeper said, "How about you guests discuss it among yourselves?"

Zhou Xi said, "No need to discuss, we’ll take the courtyard together."

"Together?" The innkeeper was also taken aback. Is that even possible?

Zhou Xi looked at Tangyu and said, "You wouldn’t mind living with us, would you?"

Tangyu said, "Can I say I mind?"

"Of course not, you’ll just have to agree; refusal is not an option." Zhou Xi said in a domineering manner, and after speaking, she looked at Hua Wuliang with a gentle smile. But that smile felt lethal to Hua Wuliang, forcing a sycophantic smile, trying to be agreeable: "You wouldn’t oppose, would you?"

"I wouldn’t dare oppose, on the contrary, I’m happy. Living with three beautiful women, that’s a blessing." Hua Wuliang dared not say no, as these three women could easily metaphorically castrate him in no time, better to avoid them.

But these three women could really chase; they caught up so quickly.

Zhou Xi smiled and said, "Then you wouldn’t mind us sharing the same room tonight, right?"

"Well—seems like I wouldn’t mind either." Hua Wuliang gasped and said.

The innkeeper’s gaze towards Hua Wuliang turned bizarre, wondering what kind of situation this was. How could something so fortunate happen?

Zhou Xi looked at the innkeeper and said, "See, they have no objections, so can you attend to us now?"

"Alright, alright, no problem." The innkeeper dared not say no, nodding immediately.

Tangyu felt speechless, but there was no other choice. They could only let the three women move in together. With one courtyard, surely three more people wouldn’t make it crowded.

Living in this courtyard for a month is indeed outrageously expensive, costing five million Lower Grade Pure Yang Stones. Most can’t afford it. But fortunately, Tangyu and the others weren’t short on money, so five million Lower Grade Pure Yang Stones was nothing to them.

After paying and getting the keys, they soon arrived at a fairly large courtyard under the innkeeper’s guidance. Though it’s called a courtyard, it was like a standalone villa. The villa covered about 2,000 square meters, which was quite spacious and decent. Such a thing couldn’t be found on Earth.

Rows upon rows of such standalone villas were here, numbering over a hundred in total.

"Dear guests, the inside has been cleaned by the servants. If you need anything, you can instruct us. We’ll have servants come over at fixed times daily. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. I wish you a pleasant stay," the innkeeper said.

Tangyu waved at the innkeeper and casually tossed him a Qiankun Bag, naturally filled with some Pure Yang Stones, as a tip.

This habit was something Tangyu brought from Earth, as giving a tip would ensure the innkeeper worked more diligently. In the future, they might need the innkeeper for something, so a little effort to win hearts was very practical.

Indeed, after receiving Tangyu’s Qiankun Bag, the innkeeper’s face lit up with a smile and he nodded appreciatively at Tangyu, saying, "Thank you, dear guest. If you need anything in the future, just instruct me. Generally speaking, I have some knowledge of the affairs in Jiuzhou City and can certainly help you resolve some issues." The innkeeper was quite adept at adapting to circumstances; seeing Tangyu tip him, he naturally knew there might be something Tangyu could use his help with in the future.

So, he immediately expressed his willingness to help.

Tangyu said, "Alright, I’ll contact you if I need something."
