Chapter 439

The spiritual energy in the luxurious room was extremely dense. It transformed into a hazy white mist that emitted a dazzling luster under the light of the Night Illumination Pearls.

The furniture and ornaments in the room were all refined from unique materials that had been meticulously sculpted. They were beautiful and comfortable, and some special materials were added that could calm one's heart and allow one to quickly enter a state of cultivation.

Yue Xianzi was Yue 'er from the Moonlight Pavilion. Zi Chen had recognized her at first glance. But compared to two years ago, Yue' er was even more beautiful.

"Zi Chen, are you really alright?" Yue 'er was very happy to see Zi Chen again. She asked him many questions about what had happened back then.

"Although I didn't die under the Pill Weapon, it was a narrow escape. I only managed to escape two years later with nothing to show for it." Zi Chen told her about what had happened back then.

"Are you from the Moonlight Pavilion or the Bedlam Lands?"

The two chatted for a long time before Zi Chen asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"Take a guess." Yue Er looked at Zi Chen with her big eyes and smiled slyly.

"I believe you're that Yue 'er from the Moonlight Pavilion. But you seem to have an unusual relationship with the major powers of the Bedlam Lands." Zi Chen said truthfully.

"Correct."

Yue 'er winked and said, "I am from the Moonlight Pavilion. As for my relationship with the Shangguan Family, I can't say for sure, but it is indeed very complicated."

"Before I came here, Master gave me a medallion that could save my life in times of danger. But I didn't expect that I would encounter danger the moment I arrived and almost die. So I took out the medallion. But I didn't expect that the medallion would belong to the Shangguan Family. When it appeared, it caused a huge commotion."

"I heard that there were two other people with you. Were they Zhang Haotian and Lu Peng? Where are they?" asked Zi Chen.

Yue 'er bitterly glanced at Zi Chen and said, "After beating around the bush for such a long time, I'm afraid that this is your true motive. You're only concerned about the two of them. The reason you've appeared today is also because of them. If you hadn't heard that they were with me, you wouldn't have shown yourself."

Zi Chen smiled awkwardly and made the best choice — silence.

"I found the two of them in the outer area. At that time, the two of them were like me, being hunted down. We were in the same boat, and we came from the same place. So, we joined forces for a short while to resist the pursuit. Finally, we came to the city square."

"A temporary alliance." Zi Chen looked at Yue 'er in confusion.

"That's right. After I took out the command medallion, people from the Shangguan Family came and took the three of us away. However, the two of them left halfway and did not tell me where they went."

"You should stop them," Zi Chen said.

"I tried to stop and persuade them, but it was no use. They insisted on leaving. Later on, I sent people to look for them, but they couldn't find any clues. However, I am certain that they are in this area, not far from the Fringe."

Zi Chen had originally come for the two of them. Now that he heard that they had left and their whereabouts were unknown, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Although I didn't find them, I inadvertently found a clue about another group of people. Do you want to hear about it?" Yue 'er smiled mysteriously. "They are very important to you."

"Important to me? Who?" Zi Chen's expression changed.

"The Wang Family and the Qin Family."

This time, before Zi Chen could ask, Yue 'er answered, "They have formed a small force in the depths of this area. However, they can barely protect themselves."

"Barely protect themselves? Then they didn't suffer any casualties, right?" Zi Chen frowned, his face full of worry.

"Hmph, Zi Chen, I think what you really want to ask is whether anything happened to your little lover, Wang Xian 'er." Yue' er snorted coldly and raised her voice.

"Then how is Xian 'er? Is she alright?" Zi Chen didn't deny and asked anxiously.

Yue 'er glared fiercely at Zi Chen and said, "Your little lover is fine. She's doing well for the time being. Her life isn't in danger. However …"

Changing the topic, Yue 'er looked at Zi Chen and said, "But don't be happy too early. Although your little lover is fine, her brother has died in battle."

"Wang Qiong is dead."

Zi Chen was startled. Although he hadn't fought with Wang Qiong, he could feel that Wang Qiong was extraordinary. When he had displayed his unparalleled strength, Wang Qiong wasn't afraid of him and wanted to fight him.

"It's not him. It's another brother, Wang Shi. He was killed by a blade when he arrived in the Bedlam Lands."

"How is that possible?"

Zi Chen's eyes widened in disbelief. Wang Shi's strength was definitely not weak. He was definitely comparable to a monstrous genius. How could he be killed by a single blade?

"Was it Old Monster Dan Yuan who did it?" asked Zi Chen.

"No, it was a Zephyr. Furthermore, it was an early Zephyr."

"That's impossible! Who could kill Wang Shi in one strike at the early Zephyr?!" cried Zi Chen in disbelief.

"This is the Land of Chaos. There are countless experts and all sorts of monstrous geniuses. Nothing is impossible. Before coming here, who would have thought that there would be so many deaths in this place? Moreover, the insufferably arrogant major powers in our eyes are actually referred to as barbarians in this place." Yue 'er said softly.

Zi Chen didn't say anything else. What Yue 'er said was the truth. Everything here was far beyond what he had imagined.

But Wang Shi had been killed in one strike. That was something he couldn't accept.

"Apart from Wang Shi, there are several other monstrous geniuses who died. However, they were all monstrous geniuses who had enmity with you."

"The region we're in is called barbarians. No one cares about us. Most of the monstrous geniuses who came out to adventure have died. It's not easy for Wang Qiong and the others to establish a faction."

The two of them chatted for a long time that night. Yue 'er told him everything she knew. After that, she started talking about herself.

However, when she talked about herself, Yue 'er's expression became unnatural.

"My family is called Shangguan. In the Bedlam Lands, it's a super faction. However, it's not the only one. In the depths of the Bedlam Lands, in Chaos City, apart from the Shangguan family, there are four other families. They're called Zhou, Wei, Wu and Chen."

These five families had almost monopolized all the markets in the Bedlam Lands. They had countless resources in their hands and experts were as common as clouds.

Apart from these five families, there were also some smaller families. However, these families were weaker than the five families. They were much stronger than the seven major cities and the three major sects in the Bedlam Lands.

There were many smaller families, but they were all attached to these big families.

"That young man who came with you, which family does he belong to?" asked Zi Chen.

"He's from the Zheng family. They're just a small family. They can't be considered a big family."

"He's one of your admirers, right?"

"He can be considered a rather scheming person. Why? Could it be that you're jealous?" Hearing this, Yue 'er's depressed mood improved a little, and she asked with a smile.

"It seems you've changed a lot in the past two years. Back then, you would blush when you talked to others." Zi Chen didn't answer her question.

"That's because you don't know what I've been through. If I let you interact with those playboys all day long, you'll change too. However, I always thought this change was a good thing. Now that you mention it, I'm starting to regret it."

Yue 'er looked at Zi Chen and suddenly became affectionate. She said in a low voice, "I can change back to how I was before, but will you still like me like before?"

"Stop, stop completely. You were just a little girl back then. When did you become so flirtatious?" Zi Chen was almost speechless. He couldn't stand being teased by such a beauty, and his self-control was about to collapse.

"Hehe."

Yue Er finally smiled. She felt very relaxed when she was with Zi Chen. Moreover, the two of them came from the same place and knew each other, so they felt very close to each other. Even if they didn't talk about it normally, they didn't have to worry about it today.

"If I didn't say anything back then, from the looks of it, you would have agreed to that Zheng Feng. Could it be that you really want to live in the same room as her?"

"How is that possible? Don't I have you?" Yue 'er looked at Zi Chen with a smile on her face, causing Zi Chen to feel uncertain.

"I mean, I won't say anything."

"How could you not say anything? It's been two years. I've changed, but you haven't. There are only some people in your eyes, but you can't tolerate us." Yue 'er became resentful again.

"What do you mean? Could it be that you saw me before?" Zi Chen was surprised.

"You're so different, it's impossible for others not to notice you."

Yue 'er said coquettishly, "Everyone is looking at the fairy and running towards the fairy. Everyone wants to attract the fairy's attention, but you just turned around and left, and in the opposite direction. You're so special, it's impossible for others not to see you."

Zi Chen laughed involuntarily. So this was the problem.

"Tell me, are you doing this to deliberately attract my attention?"

Zi Chen, "…"

The two of them talked like this for the whole night. Yue 'er teased him several times, causing Zi Chen to be seriously deranged. He almost couldn't control himself and forced himself on her.

But every time at the critical moment, Yue 'er would ask Zi Chen about Wang Xian' er or Lin Xue. The fire in his heart was immediately extinguished by cold water.

This extreme contrast made Zi Chen want to vomit blood.

When the sky brightened, he left in a sorry state. In the room, Yue 'er was giggling. This was the happiest night in two years.

As she laughed, Yue 'er cried. At the same time, her pleasant voice sounded, "There's something I want to ask you for help with. I hope you can agree to it."

Zi Chen had already left, as if he didn't hear her.

That night, the news of Yue Xianzi inviting the nouveau riche to spend the night spread in the market. When the sky brightened, the news spread throughout the market, causing an uproar.

The fairy invited the nouveau riche to spend the night. This was simply unbelievable.

The sky had just brightened when many cultivators gathered at the entrance of the inn. They all wanted to see if this matter was true. At the same time, they also wanted to see who exactly was the local tyrant who had gained a bit of fame in the market in just two days and was favored by the fairy.

Because he had checked out of his room, Zi Chen had nowhere to go. He could only walk out in a panic. But when he opened the door of the inn, he was completely dumbfounded.

There were already many cultivators gathered around him. At this moment, he was still wiping his sweat with a stunned expression. In an instant, many people's imaginations ran wild.

"Look, he's the nouveau riche. Last night, the fairy invited him to spend the night with her."

"Nouveau riche, the nouveau riche doesn't look that good."

Everyone started to talk about it without any scruples. But at this moment, Zi Chen saw a familiar face in the market.
