Chapter 426 - 424: Relentless Pestering, So Annoying

Chapter 426: Chapter 424: Relentless Pestering, So Annoying

Su Qing smiled.

’Seriously...’

’Why do strange things happen wherever I go?’

’I’ve clearly done my best to stay hidden.’

’And yet things still happen.’

’Shouldn’t my luck be good?’

’Good enough to keep me out of trouble?’

’Or is this incident actually a stroke of good luck for me?’

’Is it the girl?’

’Impossible.’

’That girl is just an ordinary person. Could my good luck really just be some kind of romantic tryst?’

’If that’s the case, that’s just too damn ridiculous.’

’Hidden Dragon Like the Abyss can’t be that low-class.’

’This is an Immortal Technique, after all.’

Besides, I’ve barely used my powers overtly for a long time now.

’My luck should have reached its peak.’

...

While Su Qing was lost in thought,

the female bodyguard received a message.

The Daoist Cultivator before her had no identity in this world, meaning he was unregistered—either a wanted fugitive or an outsider.

The female bodyguard’s mood grew heavy.

And at that moment,

her young mistress ran out again.

She came up to Su Qing.

"See? Ugly my ass! I’m gorgeous!" the girl declared, looking proud.

And she was indeed quite pretty. With pearly teeth and bright eyes, her skin was fair and pale. Though she had only removed her makeup, her innocent and pure expression was a complete mismatch for her flashy clothes.

Only the slight, playful smile curling at the corners of her lips seemed to match her outfit.

Su Qing glanced over.

’She’s alright, I guess.’

’Good thing I’m holding back my power. Otherwise, I’d see right through her to her bones. What’s so good-looking about that?’

"You’re alright, I guess. At least not as ugly as before, little girl," Su Qing said with an amused chuckle, turning back to his drink after a single glance.

He slowly savored the strong liquor in his cup.

This taste, this comfortable atmosphere—it had been a long time since Su Qing had experienced something like this.

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

"You’re not even going to buy me a drink?"

"You’re so rich, yet you need me to buy you a drink?" Su Qing retorted.

The girl’s face fell.

"I don’t have any money. My mom knows I come here, so she won’t give me any spending money."

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Go home," Su Qing said without turning his head.

’This naive little thing. She shouldn’t be coming to a place like this before her wings are fully grown.’

’She doesn’t even have the ability to protect herself, yet she’s trying to seduce me? Isn’t she afraid I’ll just unleash my inner beast?’

’Her bodyguard over there is watching, anxious and helpless.’

’She clearly wants to drag you away.’

Su Qing shook his head.

The girl grew even more upset.

"You’re so cheap."

"Thanks for the compliment," Su Qing replied without looking back.

The girl’s eyes widened. How could he just admit it like that? When she called him cheap, wasn’t he supposed to prove how generous he was?

"Little Mu Wan, you should go home. Don’t bother the gentleman," the bartender urged from the side.

"No! You shut up!" the girl shouted.

She hated it most when people told her what to do.

The bartender said no more.

Su Qing thought for a moment.

He shook his head, exasperated.

Su Qing stood up. "How many Taichu Coins for this drink?"

"Thirty, sir."

That was quite cheap. Su Qing immediately handed over 30 Taichu Coins.

And with that, Su Qing left.

He had no desire to deal with the rebellious girl.

He stepped out of Rongfu Tavern.

The area around here was still quite nice.

It just didn’t get much sunlight.

Su Qing ambled about.

But the girl followed behind him.

"Why aren’t you looking at me? Am I not pretty?"

"You are."

Su Qing said, without even a glance in her direction.

"You’re not being honest."

"Then you’re not pretty," Su Qing said, still not looking back.

The girl’s mood soured even more.

"You... I...!" The girl was so angry she was at a loss for words.

"Are you even a man? You’re not even interested in someone like me."

"You’re right about that. I’m not interested," Su Qing said with a faint smile, his eyes narrowing as he glanced at her irritated face.

’This little brat...’

Su Qing could only say she was average at best.

The girl fell silent.

She stayed by Su Qing’s side.

Wherever Su Qing went, she went.

When Su Qing stopped,

she stopped.

"Tell me, what does one do with a little tagalong?" Su Qing said, stopping to look helplessly at the girl beside him.

Su Qing really had no interest in her.

Otherwise, he would have taught her a thing or two about the dangers of the real world.

’Honestly...’

Su Qing just wanted to wander around.

But this girl kept following him.

Su Qing glanced around.

He saw a large storefront.

Gold Medal Sanatorium.

It was huge.

Very eye-catching.

’That settles it.’

’Let’s go.’

’The little girl can’t follow me in if she doesn’t have any money to spend.’

’I’ll just get a massage and leave.’

"Where are you going?"

"..." Su Qing didn’t say anything.

He just walked toward it.

’It’s just a place to get a massage, right?’

Besides, she didn’t have any Taichu Coins on her right now.

There was no way for her to get in.

Su Qing checked in at the front desk.

He found a young woman to give him a massage.

A completely legitimate one.

Though with Su Qing’s physique, he really didn’t need any of this.

But, since he was already here...

...he might as well enjoy it.

...

「The sky grew darker.」

Su Qing finally came out.

The masseuse had hinted at him time and again.

How could Su Qing possibly stay?

’How ridiculous.’

’If I really wanted to satisfy my biological needs, I wouldn’t deign to do it here.’

’Because all I’d have to do is beckon...’

’...and what woman wouldn’t flock to me?’

’To say nothing of the two women in the Micro Acupoint Great World; neither of them could refuse me.’

’Let alone Yu Hu.’

’The man has dozens, if not hundreds, of wives.’

’By now, he probably has a good number of children, too.’

’They just haven’t shown up at the Taichu Daoist Palace.’

’As a powerful being,’

’one never lacks for partners.’

’It’s just a matter of wanting to or not.’

’And a matter of self-control. If you don’t restrain yourself, you’ll want to jump every woman you see.’

’In that case, wouldn’t these long years be incredibly boring?’

’And as time goes on, when you can no longer keep track of them all, are all those women still your partners?’

’How would that even work?’

’You might even end up getting cuckolded.’

’It’s better not to get involved in the first place.’

’Saves a lot of trouble.’

Besides, Su Qing’s desires in that area weren’t strong anyway.

The moment he stepped out the main entrance,

the girl was there waiting for him.

’She’s still here?’

’Look at the time.’

’It’s already late at night.’

Her bodyguard was still standing watch.

’Incredible. What kind of job are her parents doing?’

Upon seeing the girl, Su Qing’s first instinct was to turn around and go back inside.

But then he saw the masseuse who had attended to him.

Her eyes were shimmering with desire.

When she saw Su Qing look back, the delight on her face was impossible to suppress.

’Alright, then.’

He turned back around.

Facing this little brat was better than facing a woman who was like a wolf ready to pounce.

Su Qing walked out.

He saw the little brat approach. "Hmph, hmph."

"You’re finally out."

"Why are you following me?"

"At this hour, you should be in bed!"

"I want to sleep with you."

"You?" Su Qing smacked his lips, his gaze sweeping over the little brat. "Nope."

The girl felt his gaze and her face flushed red with anger.

"I’ll grow up eventually."

"What the hell does that have to do with me? Go home," Su Qing said impatiently.

"You’re so annoying."

"Thanks for the compliment." The girl had learned from what Su Qing said in the tavern, turning his own words against him.

Su Qing didn’t want to deal with her.

He slowly walked away.

He was headed for the park.

The parks in this world.

To be honest, they weren’t much to look at.

They were surrounded by towering buildings.

These so-called parks, with no view of the sky, felt very oppressive.

This was the world of the lower class.

When Su Qing first arrived, he had seen the world of the upper class.

It was all situated high above.

Completely disconnected from the people living on the ground below.

And many of them possessed the power of the Dao Path.

The disparity was huge.

The Jianmu Omniscience Institute wouldn’t be like this.

The Jianmu Omniscience Institute was more about respect and equality.

The people on the tree craved life, knowledge, and wisdom more than anything.

Su Qing walked in silence, but the little brat chattered away energetically beside him, telling him about this and that.

She even mentioned that the people in the lower levels might only get to see the sun once a year.
