Chapter 523
“Oh?
My Qingwu actually said something so reasonable. It really surprised me. Hehe. ”
Xiao Chen was surprised to hear Dongfang Qingwu say such steady and experienced words. Because he was in a good mood, he couldn’t help but tease Dongfang Qingwu. His purple-black eyes were full of smiles. In the end, he asked Da Huang, “Da Huang, what do you think?”
“Roar.” Da Huang let out a deep roar, indicating that he agreed with what Xiao Chen said.
“Brother Xiao, you are so annoying. Da Huang, you too!
Humph! ”
Dongfang Qingwu pretended to be angry, but she was happy in her heart. When she saw the smile in Xiao Chen’s eyes, she also showed a knowing smile. She emphasized, “Brother Xiao, Qingwu is really with you.”
“Yes, I know.”
Xiao Chen stopped joking. He stretched out his right hand and gently pinched Dongfang Qingwu’s delicate face. This time, he continued with infinite gentleness,
“Qingwu, don’t worry. I am not the same as I was a year ago. I won’t be impulsive anymore. Because I not only have to take care of my grandpa, but also you. Su Qingyi, Liu Ruyue, and Zhu Qingmei, you are all my women. I will protect you forever!”
“Brother Xiao, Qingwu and the four sisters will love you forever. Qingwu promises.”
A smile blossomed on Dongfang Qingwu’s beautiful face. It gave off a feeling that even the birds and beasts would drown and the moon would blush. She was extremely beautiful.
This woman should only exist in heaven. How many times could she be seen in the human world?
“Hehe …”
Seeing Dongfang Qingwu’s beautiful smile, Xiao Chen felt very warm in his heart. His whole body was full of strength. He actually smiled foolishly.
“Look at your silly face, hehe!” Dongfang Qingwu leaned her head on Xiao Chen’s shoulder. She was as happy as a flower.
The setting sun shone on the green hills and clear waters, a red city, handsome men and beautiful women, and a yellow dog. What a beautiful scene!
Warm, touching, romantic …
However, such a beautiful scene was only temporary and would not last long. The red color of Fire Spirit City seemed to indicate that there would be a bloody disaster sooner or later, or that something big had already happened. The arrival and participation of Xiao Chen and the other two would only push Fire Spirit City into a raging fire. By that time, the entire Fire Spirit City would be turned upside down!
Xiao Chen and Dongfang Qingwu cuddled for a while, and they were almost intoxicated by the wonderful feeling.
Unexpectedly, Da Huang did not disturb Xiao Chen and Dongfang Qingwu. He stared coldly at the red city in the distance with an extremely serious expression. This was not his usual cold and arrogant style. Could it be that he also predicted that something bad would happen after entering Fire Spirit City?
“Fire Spirit City!
I, Xiao Chen, am coming!
Da Huang, Qingwu, let’s go! ”
Xiao Chen shouted confidently and walked toward Fire Spirit City with Dongfang Qingwu and Da Huang. Da Huang transformed into the appearance of a yellow dog. The Lion King’s appearance was too eye-catching. Entering a super big city like Fire Spirit City would cause a lot of trouble.
Low-key!
Xiao Chen had always been low-key and tried his best to keep a low profile. However, others just wouldn’t let him, which made him feel helpless. This was his first time entering Fire Spirit City, so Xiao Chen, who knew nothing about Fire Spirit City, naturally had to keep a low profile. In such a huge city, there were countless Martial Artists and experts. If he did not keep a low profile, he would easily become the target of public criticism.
Keeping a low profile was not cowardice, but a strategy. Arrogant and ignorant people who did not know how to keep a low profile would be stupid. Truly intelligent experts would keep a low profile, so that they could achieve unexpected results when facing their enemies, and achieve the goal of shocking and striking the enemy to the greatest extent.
It didn’t take long for Xiao Chen and the other two to walk. Soon, they were already close to Fire Spirit City. As they got closer and closer to Fire Spirit City, Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong. The Fire Spirit City gave off an invisible pressure, as if something earth-shattering had happened in Fire Spirit City.
Xiao Chen found that although the city gate was open, there were hundreds of heavily armed soldiers guarding the gate. Any civilian or Martial Artist who entered or left the city had to go through strict interrogation and inspection. In addition, there were countless square holes on the city wall with archers hiding. The whole city seemed to be in a state of defense.
“Did something big happen in Fire Spirit City?
Otherwise, why is it so tense as if a war is imminent? Strange … ”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were like torches. He took a glance at the fortifications of Fire Spirit City. Suddenly, he felt strange. He didn’t see any powerful Martial Artists attacking, nor did he see any enemy soldiers outside the city. Was it really necessary for the Fire Spirit City to be so tense?
Could it be that something big had happened in Fire Spirit City, such as the Emperor’s Palace or a war between aristocratic families?
That was what Xiao Chen thought.
It was just a guess. Seeing was believing. Xiao Chen calmed himself down and secretly told Da Huang to be careful and act according to the situation. Then, the three of them slowly walked toward the south gate of Fire Spirit City.
After observing for a while, Xiao Chen found that there were very few people going in and out of the city gate, which was not in line with the huge and prosperous Fire Spirit City. It could only mean that the civilians and ordinary Martial Artists of Fire Spirit City were staying in their homes or in the city. They were not willing to go out and be interrogated by the soldiers.
Xiao Chen and Da Huang were powerful. Naturally, they were not afraid of the soldiers’ interrogation. Even if the Fire Spirit City was a mountain of swords or hell, they had to go in. After spending nearly half a year, if they returned without even seeing the Drug Sage, Xiao Chen’s trip would become a joke.
“Don’t be afraid, Qingwu. I’m here.”
Xiao Chen reached out his left hand and held the right hand of Dongfang Qingwu, who was a little nervous. He gently comforted her and gave her an encouraging look. Then, he looked straight at the city gate and walked toward it naturally.
Da Huang returned to his cold and lazy look, but he walked closely on the left side of Dongfang Qingwu. Together with Xiao Chen, he sandwiched Dongfang Qingwu in the middle to protect Dongfang Qingwu’s safety.
“Stop!”
When Xiao Chen and the other two were ten meters away from the city gate, the soldier who guarded the gate stopped Xiao Chen and the other two.
The soldier was a warrior at the peak of the third level of the Blood Bear Realm. He was about forty years old. He had a round face, big ears, and a greasy face. He was wearing a black soft armor and had a big belly. At first glance, one could tell that he was a petty corrupt official.
The soldier’s small eyes swept across Xiao Chen and Dongfang Qingwu, as if he was looking for a suspect. When he saw the beautiful Dongfang Qingwu, his small eyes suddenly lit up, and a lustful look flashed across his face. Especially when he saw Dongfang Qingwu’s beautiful big eyes, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and his heart suddenly beat violently.
Forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, the soldier turned his gaze to Xiao Chen, who had a cold expression on his face. When he sensed that Xiao Chen’s level of cultivation was lower than his, he immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest, feeling a sense of superiority as a powerful cultivator.
When the soldier met Xiao Chen’s cold eyes, he was immediately annoyed. He shouted arrogantly, “What are you looking at?
Have you never seen a man as handsome as me?
Look again and I’ll dig your eyes out, hmph! ”
“Eh … I’ve never seen such a shameless person.”
Xiao Chen was a bit speechless at being looked down upon by an old man who looked like a pig. He subconsciously retorted, and even turned to Da Huang and said seriously, “Da Huang, take a piss and let someone look at their own pig face.”
