Chapter 2326 - 2285: Overbearing and Dominant

"Little Qiang, actually, there is a way that can let us escape the Divine Nun's Nunnery's questioning and punishment." Jade Yumo wriggled out of Wang Xiaoqiang's embrace, took his hand, her beautiful eyes locking tightly onto him as she said solemnly, "We don't go to the Primordial, and we don't stay in the Ancient Era. We go to the Ancient Era. Little Qiang, didn't you come from the Ancient Era? You only need to take me back to the Ancient Era, and everything will be perfect. The Heaven and Earth Laws restrict it so that people from the Divine Nun's Nunnery cannot go to the Ancient Era, unless they, like me back then, don't want their lives and are willing to risk the Heavenly Tribulation..."

When Wang Xiaoqiang heard this, his heart brightened. He thought to himself that this was a pretty good idea, indeed quite a clever solution. But then he reconsidered—if they returned to the Ancient Era, that would basically mean going back to muddle along again, and the masses and common folk of the Ancient Era would definitely mock him.

Furthermore, if he stagnated in the Ancient Era, that wouldn't fit his usual style of doing things, and once he returned to the Ancient Era, limited by the cultivation environment, his Cultivation Base would come to a standstill.

Also, as long as the Divine Nun's Nunnery wanted to pursue blame, even if they went back to the Ancient Era, the nunnery would still send a Suicide Squad to hunt them down.

Right now, their situation was like rowing upstream—if you don't advance, you fall back. Wang Xiaoqiang did not want to retreat; he wanted to take another step forward. Because at this moment he was already the strongest in the Ancient Era; he could easily pacify the Ancient Era, kill gods when he met gods, cut down immortals when he met immortals, using the Divine Souls and Divine Spirits of those who blocked his path to rapidly level up, striving to break through the Third Step and Fourth Step of Divine Thought as soon as possible and advance into the Heaven-Stepping Stage.

Once his strength became overwhelming, what fear would he have of the Divine Nun's Nunnery? By then he would even take his wife and child to the Primordial Era for a grand tour and a bit of roaming adventure.

"No, that won't do. This method isn't foolproof. If the people of the Divine Nun's Nunnery, like you did back then, disregard everything and come to the Ancient Era to seize us, how would we stand against them?"

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoqiang tightened his grip on Jade Yumo's delicate hand and said comfortingly, "Yumo, trust me. We'll stay in the Ancient Era. I'll rapidly bolster my Cultivation Base and help you withstand the Divine Nun's Nunnery's questioning."

Hearing this, Jade Yumo thought for a moment and felt that Wang Xiaoqiang's words made sense. Rather than fleeing, it was better to face things bravely. Such a vast twin tribulation, Wang Xiaoqiang had already helped her cross it; how could he possibly fear the disciples of the Divine Nun's Nunnery?

Thinking of this, her heart settled a bit. She nodded obediently and nestled into Wang Xiaoqiang's arms, looking as if she would listen to whatever arrangements he made.

Wang Xiaoqiang comforted her a few more words, then took her to eat and rest. Though Wang Xiaoqiang was not yet an Ancient Divine Emperor, he had already climbed to the Pinnacle of Ancient Era strength. On the Ancient Continent, he dared to claim first; no one dared claim second. Even Jade Yumo, who was in the Heaven-Stepping Realm, was no match for Wang Xiaoqiang.

So now, to Wang Xiaoqiang, the Ancient Continent was like something already in his pocket. Any person, any thing, he could grab at will and issue commands. Any territory, any power, all lay under his arbitrary manipulation. Whoever refused to obey, he would directly exterminate.

Wang Xiaoqiang took Jade Yumo and flew into a large city near the Five Elements Sect. This city was extremely vast and was called Peaceful City.

Peaceful City existed by relying on the Five Elements Sect. As long as the Five Elements Sect did not fall, the common people in Peaceful City would live and work as usual in peace, undisturbed.

At this time, Peaceful City still showed a scene of tranquil prosperity, bustling and flourishing. The streets were full of pedestrians, all kinds of taverns and restaurants packed to the brim. People were shouting over drinking games, cups clinking back and forth, with singing, dancing, and joyous revelry.

After entering Peaceful City, Wang Xiaoqiang picked the highest-end tavern inside and went in. It was right at mealtime, and the tavern was packed at every table, the place almost bursting with guests. The diners were happily eating and drinking, enjoying themselves immensely, and did not notice at all that a Divine Thought expert and a Heaven-Stepping Realm powerhouse had arrived.

"Little Qiang, there are too many people here. Why don't we change to another place?" Ever since Jade Yumo became pregnant, she liked quiet and disliked noise. Seeing this tavern so crowded and noisy, she furrowed her pretty brows and tugged on him as she spoke.

Although Jade Yumo's Cultivation Base and strength were powerful, because she usually cultivated her character and temperament, she had not the slightest air of arrogance, wantonness, or condescension, and she never relied on her cultivation to think herself superior and abuse power.

But Wang Xiaoqiang was different. He had always been competitive and aggressive by nature. Now that he had already climbed to the Pinnacle of Ancient Era strength and become the strongest of the Ancient Era, how could he still act low-key like before?

Besides, it was mealtime now; changing to another tavern would be just the same. So he wrapped his arm around Yumo's slender waist, said not a word, and walked to the center of the tavern. Then he shouted, "I'm eating here. Everyone, get out. If you're late by a moment, I'll kill you without mercy."

Wang Xiaoqiang had not used much force in his shout, yet it still shook the entire building. All the diners heard it.

Hearing such an arrogant and domineering shout, all the diners frowned and glared, turning their heads one after another to stare at Wang Xiaoqiang. A few rough men were just about to open their mouths and curse when they suddenly felt the fluctuation of aura from Wang Xiaoqiang and Jade Yumo's bodies, and were instantly cowed.

There was simply no need for Divine Sense to probe. The vast aura surging from Wang Xiaoqiang and Jade Yumo's bodies was enough to intimidate everyone.

"Ah, wh-what, Divine Thought..."

"My god, a Heaven-Stepping Realm powerhouse..."

"Damn, am I dreaming?"

"Quick, run..."

In the end, no one knew who shouted first, but suddenly all the diners upstairs and downstairs, like frightened rabbits, all sprang to their feet. Some jumped out the windows, some rushed through the doors, scrambling to flee. In almost an instant, the place emptied out completely.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang so forceful and overbearing, Jade Yumo not only did not feel repulsed, she instead felt that Wang Xiaoqiang was very manly. A man is a man; how could he be as soft as a woman? A man ought to be this domineering and strong.

When the tavern's owner, chefs, and servers also tried to flee, Wang Xiaoqiang shouted again, "The tavern staff stay and cook for me. I want the best wine and dishes, properly matched with meat and vegetables, something a pregnant woman can eat. If you don't cook well, I'll chop off your hands."

The tavern owner, chefs, and servers, who had wanted to run, froze in fright, no longer daring to escape, each of them trembling. Especially the chefs, who, hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's words, shook all over, terrified that if they cooked poorly their hands would be chopped off.

The tavern owner tried his best to suppress his inner fear, quickly stepped forward, immediately opened the best hall in the tavern, and respectfully invited Wang Xiaoqiang and Jade Yumo inside. Then he carefully listed all the dishes the tavern offered to Wang Xiaoqiang, letting him choose.

Seeing that this owner was perceptive, quick-thinking, and thorough in his arrangements, Wang Xiaoqiang decided not to make things hard for them, and ordered several light dishes.

Since becoming pregnant, Jade Yumo could not eat anything too greasy. Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang ordered all light dishes, her heart felt sweet; she thought Wang Xiaoqiang was attentive and thoughtful, taking meticulous care of her, and truly a good man.

In a short while, the food and wine were served. Jade Yumo ate quite a lot, and Wang Xiaoqiang also ate quite a lot. He still had very important things to do next and could not waste time on the meal, so he wanted to fill his stomach.

While eating, Wang Xiaoqiang and Jade Yumo had a discussion, talking over how they could both quickly pacify the chaos of the Ancient Era and rapidly let Wang Xiaoqiang level up. In the end, they settled on a plan.

Hearing Wang Xiaoqiang and Jade Yumo discussing such matters, the tavern staff were all shocked, though not particularly surprised. To them, the matter of pacifying the Ancient Era was very distant, seemingly bigger than the sky itself, harder than ascending to the heavens. But to a Divine Thought expert and a Heaven-Stepping Realm powerhouse, perhaps it was as simple as flicking their fingers.
