CHAPTER 589: CHAPTER 208: THE WORLD’S MORALS DECLINE DAY BY DAY (6K)

The two of them looked at the increasingly rotund Zhang Wanbao, speechless.

In such a short time, he had put on another layer of fat, and the flesh on his face almost squeezed his eyes into slits.

If he keeps eating like this, he might really end up as heavy as his dad, unable to walk.

"Come in, come in, let’s talk inside!" Zhang Wanbao, brimming with enthusiasm, quickly grabbed the two of them with his chubby hands and forcefully dragged them inside.

Once they were seated comfortably in the inner hall, Zhou Qing got straight to the point of their visit.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanbao immediately asked, "Good stuff, how much do you two need?"

Zhou Qing’s face twitched, he hadn’t even handed over his storage bag yet.

"Stop messing around!" Zhou Qing said seriously.

Zhang Wanbao had no choice but to call for a shopkeeper to come for an evaluation.

"What? Cancan is here?" Upon learning that Li Shitao and Xiao Cancan had also arrived, Zhang Wanbao jumped up from his seat in excitement.

He then approached Zhou Qing with a proud smile, saying, "Zhou, your ’distance creates beauty’ theory really works."

Zhou Qing felt a wave of embarrassment.

Yan Xiaohu downed a cup of wine, wiped his mouth, and teased, "They went to visit the Mansion Master of the Vast Mansion! We’ve seen his only son, Ke Shu, before."

"Whether it’s looks or charisma, he’s a paragon of virtue, and he gets along well with the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Princess. He’s got quite the connections!"

Zhang Wanbao immediately showed a confident smile, patting his chest and saying, "Don’t worry, I have confidence in myself. Besides, Cancan will definitely stand the test. With our years of relationship, there’s no problem!"

The two of them looked at his fat body and shook their heads slightly.

I doubt it!

What does she see in you?

Your fat?

Your lack of bathing?

Her father is a Mansion Master and lacks nothing.

Some things you have to strive for yourself; don’t be blindly confident. Matters of the heart aren’t just about talking.

Then, Zhou Qing began to inquire about the recent happenings in the Vast Mansion area.

Being businessmen, they travel frequently and have reliable information channels about the affairs in the Vast Mansion.

"Why are you asking about these things? Did they offend you?" Zhang Wanbao asked curiously.

Zhou Qing said, "No, I just want to schedule a fight."

Zhang Wanbao was confused.

If they wanted to fight, he remembered that there was a dedicated Inquiry Platform at the academy where sparring was safe, convenient, and endorsed and protected by the academy.

Why bother running around?

"Never mind, just tell us if you have any connections," Yan Xiaohu said bluntly.

Zhang Wanbao quickly nodded, smiling, "Yes, yes, yes, this is not a big deal, wait here, brothers!"

He then immediately got up, walked to the door, and whispered a few words to the servant outside.

Soon after, a message jade slip emitting a faint glow was brought in.

Zhou Qing took the jade slip and placed it on his forehead. A stream of information flooded into his mind.

He closed his eyes, carefully examined it, and soon understood.

"Thanks!" Zhou Qing said, a satisfied look flashing in his eyes.

Zhang Wanbao waved his hand, saying earnestly, "What’s there to thank for? But you, Zhou, should be careful. The Vast Mansion is not the Eastern Domain. Here, open warfare is rampant, and Divinity Transformation Realm experts can join the battle directly. Many have fallen already."

Zhang Wanbao expressed some concern.

Zhou Qing nodded, indicating that he understood.

He was looking for a real challenge.

After chatting for a while, the two of them got up to leave.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wanbao started busying himself with preparations, excitedly getting ready to welcome Xiao Cancan.

...

The long street was bustling with people.

The two planned to head to the border of the Southwest Two Domains—the Witch Ancestor Mountain Range.

According to the information provided by Zhang Wanbao, that area had become the core of the conflict, with a dozen sects as powerful as the Taiqing Sect frequently clashing there.

But they hadn’t walked far when Zhou Qing’s shoulder was suddenly tapped by someone with a ghostly touch.

He turned around sharply to see a smiling man standing behind him.

No, to be precise, it was a younger version of Siyun Ya, watching him with great interest.

"Uncle!" Zhou Qing was first startled, then delighted.

He hadn’t expected Uncle to return at such a critical moment.

[Heart Mirror Points +9]

When Uncle sensed Zhou Qing’s aura, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.

The tag on Zhou Qing’s head, originally annotated with [Kid with ridiculous luck], instantly changed to [Kid with talent surpassing mine].

It must be known that, back in the day, it took Uncle three short years to grasp the rudiments of the Realm, an achievement far surpassing ninety-nine percent of others.

But compared to this kid, even he felt deeply ashamed.

Is this the horror of Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown?

"Over there!" Uncle pointed to the nearby tavern, and the three of them went up.

In the private room, Zhou Qing recounted his understanding of the Realm and his plans without reservation.

On the side, Yan Xiaohu was holding a mother hen, listening in stunned amazement, unable to regain his composure for a long time.

One power breaks ten techniques, particularly overcoming various flowery realms?

Old Four is quite something, he can even comprehend this?

Uncle also took a deep breath, carefully observing Zhou Qing. He thought for a long time, not knowing how to express it.

But he soon became excited.

"Such a realm, at least I have never heard of anyone comprehending it, let alone figuring it out by themselves. You..."
