203 The City Lord's Daughter
Yang Lujia pretty much had a rough idea of who the old man was. He thought of Zhuquan De once more, his adoptive grandfather. However, when Cai Hong said that that old man had the same bloodline as him, even if it was just a little, he still dispelled the thought that it was his adoptive grandfather.
That was because even he couldn’t sense anything from that cheeky grandfather of his. However, when his grandfather once obliterated an entire clan with just a snap of his finger, it left a shadow in him that he would never forget as a baby.
Although his adoptive grandfather was concealing his cultivation level, he knew that his grandfather’s strength surpassed his own. That cheeky old thing was just joking with him that he was catching up to him that fast.
Now, there was another old man. But he knew that he had never sensed anything from his grandfather. In fact, there was not even the slightest aura of the void emanating from his grandfather’s body.
Or maybe he was just too concealed?
But why would his grandfather hide that fact from him?
Perhaps he had his own reasons. Yang Lujia did not continue thinking about it and just ate with Cai Hong. However, amidst their eating, a voice suddenly interrupted them.
“Why would my favorite be occupied by someone like them? Can’t you see their appearances—” However, when the woman, who was barfing all around, saw the faces of Yang Lujia and Cai Hong whose gazes were on hers, she shuddered.
They were so handsome that she could feel her body feeling a jolt from between her legs. Nevertheless, even though she reacted like this, Cai Hong and Yang Lujia did not bother with her anymore.
“Hey, isn’t the City Lord’s daughter? What is she doing here again?”
“Look at who is behind her! Those are the most handsome men in the city she reigned in to become her sex toys.”
“Hey! Didn’t you notice that she had become quiet that even the restaurant was quite baffled to see such a sight! She was looking in their direction!”
That man pointed in the direction where Yang Lujia and Cai Hong were eating peacefully.
“Fuck! What a handsome pair! Are they gods?!” a man exclaimed.
“Especially that one who was wearing a white robe, he had an aura of majesty about him. Is he from outside the city?!”
“Hey, you there!” the City Lord’s daughter called out. Her voice was laced with excitement that it would only take a moment before she was pouncing on them.
Her voice was so sharp that the customers were disturbed. However, the restaurant waiter and even the owner of the restaurant did not come out to seek justice for the other customers. Instead, they let her be.
It was because of the man behind her—her father—who was deemed the strongest man in the city—even in the entire four regions. No one knew about his origins, but everyone knew that he definitely had strength above the Saint Emperor Realm.
“Hey, didn’t I call you two there?!” The woman already sounded indignant. That was because Yang Lujia and Cai Hong continued to not pay attention to her calls.
“Are you two deaf?! If so, then let my guards capture you two instead!” the woman bellowed and signaled at her guards to make a move.
A strong wave pulsated through the entire store, but it didn’t harm the customer’s food in any way. It only seemed to want to attack Yang Lujia and Cai Hong. Suddenly, a voice echoed throughout the entire restaurant. It was so whispery that they’d never thought it would reach their ears.
“Do not disturb us, unless you want me to erase this city from existence.”
Of course, that was only Yang Lujia’s threat. However, almost everyone shook from head to toe when they heard his voice. It was so masculine but, at the same time, very scary. However, it was different for the woman. She did not feel any fear at all. Instead, she felt too excited that she had finally found a man worthy of her—a man whose character was so strong that only his father could curb him.
“If you make another move,” Yang Lujia muttered, breaking all the incoming attacks without a sweat, “I swear that I’ll make you pay back the food you ruined.”
When everyone heard what Yang Lujia said, they wanted to laugh, but they didn’t do so. For someone like Yang Lujia to be so strong to break all of the attacks without even standing or moving his eyes away from the food, they knew very well that he was ridiculously strong.
“Keep on attacking! Don’t make him leave from here! I want to bring him along with me! Do it even if it costs all of your lives! But remember not to kill him!” The woman was so flustered that she was shivering nonstop while turning obsessive toward the looks of Yang Lujia and Cai Hong. More specifically, her sights were on Yang Lujia, whose face couldn’t be said to be any more divine than it already was.
“Seems like someone is trying to cause trouble.” Cai Hong’s eyes flashed with anger. When he was about to stomp his feet, however, Yang Lujia suddenly stopped him from doing so.
“What are you doing, Your Highness?” Cai Hong was shocked that he could not move his body anymore. Just a glance from Yang Lujia rendered him immobile. It was something that he could hardly accept. He thought he was already strong enough. However, after recalling how he had become a peak Saint Emperor because of His Highness’ grace, he dispelled all those thoughts and just looked at the standing Yang Lujia.
Yang Lujia’s height was tall and his body, even when wearing his robe, was still obviously very built. When the woman noticed Yang Lujia standing, she shivered in elation and even went as far as to close their distance from each other.
However, she discovered that no matter how she thought she was already near him, she was still not moving at all from her position. This even baffled the people who were watching them.
“Miss, you’re not worthy of me. Moreover, your face is uglier than a toad,” Yang Lujia ruthlessly remarked and sat back down—without any change on his face. He then released Cai Hong from his bind and said, “You may continue eating. Ignore ants like them.”
However, when the woman heard this, instead of getting angry, she even felt more excited than before. Truly, this was the man in her dreams—very dominating and charming! Most of all, he was so handsome! She even imagined how big his little brother was.
Yang Lujia even unconsciously shuddered as she looked at the woman who was looking at him intently like a beast. However, he then shook his head and returned to eating. He couldn’t be bothered about her. Food was more important.
“Cai Hong, do you have anything more that you know about that old man?” Instead, Yang Lujia changed the topic as he looked at Cai Hong.
Meanwhile, the guards in the shadows who kept attacking Yang Lujia and Cai Hong were too baffled to continue attacking. After all, none of their attacks would be able to penetrate into the bodies of the people they were intending to attack in the first place. However, not only were they unharmed, but they were even eating casually.
Seeing that the people she brought this time were too useless, the woman thought about bringing her father to this place. His father was the strongest man in this remote city, not counting her grandfather. Ever since she was a child, she had already been doted on by her family because of her astonishing talent, reaching the Saint King Realm at such a young age, making her enjoy the privilege of being a genius in all four regions.
“What are you all dazing out for? Hurry up and come out! Go tell father that I have encountered some little trouble!” she ordered and the shadow guards immediately fled away from the area as the restaurant became eerily silent.
Although the other customers could see that the young man, who was still eating casually, was an expert or a genius, they still rejected the idea of him being able to hold up against the City Lord of the Undying City. Like the name of the city itself, the City Lord seemed to be an existence that could not die—an immortal.
“What would happen to them now? How could they possibly contend against someone like the City Lord’s caliber?!” A man was terror-stricken the moment he recalled how the City Lord exterminated an entire family in this city just because the family had a few grievances with her daughter—and at that time, she was only but a child!
“Who dared cause trouble to my daughter? Are you tired of living?” An old deep voice made everyone stand up from their seats, some even pissing on their pants. That was just how fearful they were of this man who had ruled over the Undying City since his father had left the position to become the City Lord Ancestor!
“Oh?” Yang Lujia was surprised by the other party’s sudden arrival. He then later found out why this man was here. It turned out that the woman who kept pestering them was his daughter.
Due to him being too focused on the food, he disregarded all of the people’s words because they were all insignificant, but not someone like this City Lord’s caliber, the ruler of the Undying City. He couldn’t just ignore him as he still had to acquire more information about the Second Region apart from what Cai Hong relayed to him.
“Father!” the woman’s voice echoed in delight.
