Fantasy World: Seducing The Heroine At The Start-Chapter 55: Black Plains City
Chapter 55: Black Plains City
Three days later...
Feng Yun’s flying ship finally reached its destination. At this time, Feng Yun and Wang Ruo were standing on the deck, they could see a distinct outline of a rising city that was surrounded by high walls from all sides.
In this world, almost every city has city walls to protect against the beasts.
"Here we are, the Black Plains City." Feng Yun muttered softly.
"We should leave the ship." Feng Yun said as he moved to pick up Wang Ruo, holding her like a princess, he jumped off the ship, storing the ship in the storage space.
After a while, Feng Yun reached the city gate of Black Plain City.
"There is no city guard." Feng Yun looked at the wide-open city gate and muttered softly.
"Ruo, wear this." Feng Yun gave a necklace to wear. It was a rare artifact that had many functions.
The Black Plains City was much crowded than Maple Leaf City, the Soul Refining Realm cultivators that were rare sight in the Maple Leaf City, here they were many moving around. Feng Yun even sensed some strong auras then Soul Refining Realm cultivators.
But the calmness of the Black Plains City surprise a bit, it was not chaotic as much as he imagined. The streets were crowded with both pedestrians and vendors.
"Hello, can you tell me the way to city lord mansion?" Feng Yun stopped a person and asked.
The man looked at the due weirdly, there were people who wanted to go to the city lord’s mansion, then pointed ahead and said, "Just go ahead straight."
Feng Yun nodded as he moved forward along with Wang Ruo. Due to concern, Feng Yun took hold of Wang Ruo’s hand. The city was bustling with people, mostly cultivators, he saw many young cultivators walking around, he assumed that they were most like came here for the secret realm.
While walking, Feng Yun casually looked the shops and vendors, selling all kinds of cultivation resources.
At this time, Feng Yun gaze fell on a special tall building.
"Pavilion of Heavenly Fairies." Feng Yun muttered inwardly after reading the name. The name was interesting.
He saw a few men in and out of the building. Although he was curious, he wanted to meet Long Mingxi first, he will check it out later.
After a few hours, they finally reached a huge mansion. This is Feng Yun’s first time seeing such a grand mansion.
At this time, many questions arose in his minds, according to the rumours, though the Black Plains City was part of Azure Dragon Empire, it is abandoned for more than a decade after death of previous city lord.
The City Lord’s mansion was property of the empire, it didn’t look like a building that had been abandoned for decades.
The city lord’s mansion was guarded by two guards of the Core Formation Realm. Just as he was about to talk to the guards, someone called out his name.
"Feng Yun, you are here already."
Feng Yun turned around and saw it was Chi Yang, the subordinate of Long Mingxi.
"Come with me." Chi Yang said as he took him inside the mansion. He led them to the guest room, where he told him to wait while he went to inform Long Mingxi about Feng Yun’s arrival.
Feng Yun sat down on the sofa, and Wang Ruo followed him but rather sitting beside him, she went to stood behind him. They were outside, she needed to follow the proper traits of a maid. Although Feng Yun didn’t care about these things, she didn’t want to break the rules, especially in front of others.
"Young Master, who are we going to meet here?" Wang Ruo was curious and inquired.
"An important person." Feng Yun said with a soft smile. Wang Ruo’s curiosity grew stronger as she looked at the entrance.
At this time, a young girl walked into the room. When Wang Ruo saw the girl, she exclaimed inwardly.
"Hmm, what a beautiful girl.’ Wang Ruo said inwardly. After the awakening of her physique, Wang Ruo’s beauty was enhanced tremendously, and her appearance wasn’t any lower than Ling Mingxi or Su Mei. However, she was young with a childish aura around her, and needed some time to grow.
At this time, Wang Ruo’s eyes shifted to Feng Yun, she saw a rare look of fondness in his eyes.
’Does young master like this girl?’ Wang Ruo thought inwardly.
"Greetings, Princess, how are you?" Feng Yun remained seated and said with a smile. Long Mingxi was wearing a beautiful blue dress and had a bright smile on her face as she walked toward him.
This smile is like a refreshing breeze, Feng Yun was slightly dazed by her mesmerizing smile.
Princess?
Is she a princess? Wang Ruo was stunned and inspected the girl again.
Long Mingxi sat on the chair across the table in front of him, "I am good. How about you? You didn’t encounter any problem on the way."
"Nah, the ride was smooth." Feng Yun said.
"Looks like your strength increased again?" Ling Mingxi carefully inspected Feng Yun. Though she couldn’t see through his cultivation clearly, her instincts told her that his strength was stronger than before. This revelation amazed her. How could he grow at such a fast rate?
"Not much." Feng Yun said casually.
"On the other hand, you are still becoming more and more beautiful." Feng Yun said with a charming smile. This time, she has extra glow on his face compared to when they met in the Red Fort City, making her more charming.
Long Mingxi chuckled and said, "You might be the only young man who can talk to me so casually."
"And this is?" Long Mingxi looked at Wang Ruo and asked?
"She is Wang Ruo, my maid." Feng Yun introduced Wang Ruo to Long Mingxi. Long Mingxi nodded lightly in response.
"How come you arrive so fast?" Long Mingxi looked at Feng Yun and asked curiously. The Maple Leaf City was quite far away from here, she sent a saint realm cultivator to deliver the letter so that he could news faster and able to reach the Black Plains City on time. She never expected him to arrive so soon.
"My master helped me." Feng Yun said casually.
"Oh!"
"So, what is going with Black Plains City?" Feng Yun changed the discussion. He was intrigued by Black Plains City. Other than having stronger cultivators, he didn’t find it any different from other cities.
"Hmm, the Black Plains City is a bit special. This city was part of the empire, and located between the Rising Phoenix Sect and the Azure Dragon Empire. There is also the Eternal Sword Sect nearby, making it a hub of cultivators and there is the dangerous Black Plains Mountains Range that is filled with monster beasts, overall making this city a bit chaotic." Long Mingxi said as she explained the situation of the Black Plains City.
Black Plains City was the furthest territory of Azure Dragon Empire, it has close distanced with two sects, then there is Black Plains Mountain Range that was many spirit beasts making it a suitable training spot, many cultivators flock to the Black Plains Mountain Range to hunt and train while making the Black Plains City their resting place. Along with regular cultivators, many criminals also came to the Black Plains City to hide.
When this much of cultivators from different regions or sects gathered in a one place, there is bound to be some frictions among them. Fights broke out regularly, making lives of ordinary people harder, the maintaining the order becomes harder.
It’s not that Azure Dragon Empire or sects couldn’t control this city, but there was not much benefit, so they decided to leave it as it is.
Eventually, this place has become a den of rogue cultivators and criminals.
"But when I came in, I didn’t find it chaotic as I thought it would. Why?"
