Chapter 393: Add My New Book In Collection, Please

" Tsk Tsk, you really made a mess, Young Master." Deng Hua chuckled as Long Ming was resting in her courtyard. " Princess has given an order to find you. The guards are now searching through the entire Flying Eagle City."

Long Ming rolled his eyes, " You should be thankful I did that. After all, I have given you a perfect opportunity."

" Indeed. And that’s what makes me both surprised and scared." Deng Hua poured some warm tea for Long Ming.

" The arrival of Feng Xinye wasn’t something anyone could have anticipated. However, not only did you manage to get her attention, but you also easily dismissed the drama that was about to happen in the banquet hall."

Deng Hua grinned as she looked at Long Ming, " Princess Xinye is a heavenly beauty. Not to mention, if you become her husband, the entire Imperial Feng Family will be at your disposal."

" The current emperor already reached the pinnacle of the Dao Refining Realm. The moment he reaches Grand Heaven Ascension Realm, he will be unstoppable."

" But hmmm... Princess Xinye rejected so many proposals." Deng Hua talked to herself, " Why did she suddenly want to marry you?"

" Well? Sister Deng, am I not handsome?" Long Ming retorted, " She could have just fallen in love with my looks, don’t you think?"

Deng Hua snickered, " I believe you are quite handsome, Young Master. But even then, the Jadefall Clan and Tu Clan of Snowstorm Fox Bloodline have better looking men than you."

" Lies, plain white lies." Long Ming refused to believe.

" Well, I do wonder if you really used any spiritual technique to seize her soul." Deng Hua spoke in a serious voice, making Long Ming snort.

" Sister Deng, since you don’t have faith in me, I guess I should take my leave. After all, I don’t have any methods to help you."

" Aiyaa, Young Master, I am just joking." Deng Hua threw a sultry look as she pressed Long Ming to stay seated. " Anyways, have you noticed anything else?"

" Feng Jinyan brought some experts with him." Long Ming explained, " I don’t know what they want to do. But it’s definitely something sneaky. Perhaps creating turmoil in the city."

" And your escape has given us a good excuse to use our guards to scout." Deng Hua nodded, " The prince needs to stay cautious, and he can’t make any sudden moves at all."

Long Ming drank the tea as he leaned back. The tea’s color was pale blue, like ocean water, but more transparent. Its taste was rather spicy, prickling his tongue. But there was a wave of sweetness afterward, making one enjoy the drink.

" You need to stay careful." Long Ming suddenly looked at Deng Hua, " I believe Jinyan has come prepared. How long till the Silent Stone Tower opens?"

" It’s unknown." Deng Hua shrugged, " However, the opening date should be near. The cultivators from various places are coming to the Grand Eagle City."

Long Ming couldn’t help but be curious, " What’s inside that place? Any inheritance?"

Deng Hua rubbed her chin as she explained, " The legend varies. Some say it’s one of the inheritance places of the Beast God. For others, it’s an ancient city that existed during the first Demon Emperor."

" The beast god?" Long Ming couldn’t help but be curious. " I did hear about the myths. Isn’t he the first beast who ascended to the heavens?"

The Beast God is a mythical figure, the origin of the beast race. Some say he was a primordial dragon; for others, he was the original golden eagle.

The most popular statue of the Beast God is the manifestation of a humanoid figure with a dragon’s head, the legs of a horse, and the arms of a King Kong ape.

However, the Beast God isn’t widely worshiped. Aside from some common beastfolk and a few specific tribes, many other beast races believe him to be nothing more than a myth.

’Interesting. In a world of immortal cultivators, gods exist.’ Long Ming pondered. ’No, it’s very much possible that it’s another Dao pathway. Looks like I have some new things to research.’

" The thing is, the most precious things in the Silent Stone Tower is medicinal herbs and dao bones. The dao bones left behind by ancient beasts." Deng Hua explained. " If someone gets it, they can refine their bloodline into a higher grade or change their bloodline entirely."

Dao Bones are the realization of the Grand Dao that the beast race leaves behind for their descendants. Not only do they contain their bloodline power, but they also contain thousands of years of cultivation.

One can use them to refine their own body or forge weapons. Dao Bones can be used to make excellent weapons of Noble grade and upward. A compatible Dao Bone can turn into a perfect natal artifact as well.

However, each Dao Bone may contain a different realization of the same Grand Dao.

For example, two Dao Bones might have the realization of the Grand Dao of Fire. However, one follows the Destructive Flame path while the other is geared toward the Alchemical Fire path.

Naturally, the former Dao Bone is suitable for someone who uses fire-attribute battle techniques, while the latter is better suited for alchemy and pill refining. Such an incompatibility in paths can create severe problems later on.

" Well, I believe there must be some precious dao bones as well." Long Ming chuckled, " Imperial treasures?"

" It happened around ten thousand years ago. One rogue cultivator found a dao bone in the Silent Stone Tower. Later, he created the Ancient Yu Family that rules the north of Wind Roc Empire."

"Imagine a single family still standing tall even before an entire empire. He found the dao bone of Ghost Eyed Illusory Serpent. And he managed to reach the Grand Heaven Ascension Stage in less than two thousand years."

" Well, very interesting. Though I doubt everyone can have such a fortuitous encounter." Long Ming shrugged, " I doubt Silent Stone Tower is just a free gift shop without any danger."

Laughingly, Deng Hua got up, " Young Master is wise. I do believe if you ever enter the tower, you return with a bountiful harvest."

" Anyways, I have to go take a bath." Deng Hua spoke with a casual tone, " Thankfully, not many know that my bath chamber has very lax security and anyone can intrude."

Long Ming shook his head as he laughed, " Good trick, Sister Deng. I will make sure to send your husband to fix it."

" You!!"

Deng Hua was perplexed when she heard that, making her stomp her feet like an angry child. Long Ming’s laughter echoed as he left with a single jump.

" Tsk, why is that man so cautious?" Deng Hua sighed, " Lustful men are easy to handle. But men who are lustful but know restraint? Ugh, I hate them so much." . . . .

" You aren’t getting this month’s salary." Bing Luoyan looked at Long Ming, " You weren’t in the store during work time."

" Aiyaa, Madame Luoyan! You can’t do this to me." Long Ming fell to his knees and hugged Bing Luoyan’s thigh.

" What will I eat? What will I wear?" Long Ming sobbed, taking the chance to rub his face against Bing Luoyan’s soft thighs.

" Think of the courteseans of Emerald Flower Pavilion. Who will sponsor them if not me?!"

Bing Luoyan looked at Long Ming with disgust as she shook her legs, " Unhand me, you lustful perverts!"

Long Ming kept rubbing his face against her soft, supple thighs. Mmm, thighs, so juicy and even fragrant.

" But hmm...Judging from my sensation." Long Ming pondered with seriousness, " You didn’t wear underwear inside. Right?"

Bing Luoyan clenched her fist as she looked at Long Ming with a flushed face.

" Let me show you what’s inside me right now."
