1094: Chapter 667 1094: Chapter 667 Pan City, the City Lord’s Mansion had two daughters.
They were twins, one brazen and arrogant, the other quieter!
Though their personalities were different, the sisters were always seen together at gatherings!
The main reason was that the games they played during these gatherings often involved girls from well-to-do families whom they knew, including their half-sisters.
Pan City’s City Lord Ji was a Foundation Builder.
Serving as a city lord in the Mortal Realm did not demand powerful cultivators!
Nonetheless, he was a cultivator, and among his children, some possessed Spiritual Roots.
His Daoist companion also had Spiritual Roots and had reached Qi Cultivation Great Perfection.
Together, they bore twin daughters and one son!
He also had a concubine, who bore him two daughters and one son.
These two daughters were nearing marriageable age as well!
The eldest son and youngest son had already been sent away to a sect by her.
These daughters with Spiritual Roots should have been sent to sects to cultivate and acquire abilities!
But either due to poor aptitude or lack of effort, by the time the oldest reached seventeen or eighteen and the youngest fourteen or fifteen, they had returned for marriage arrangements and were merely at the Qi Refinement Realm!
Such abilities were akin to a drop in the ocean in the Cultivation World, but here in the Mortal Realm, they thrived by leaning on their father’s status as the City Lord!
Here, they lived like fish in water, not in any hurry to marry.
It seemed they had seen too much in the Cultivation World, so in the Mortal Realm, if a suitor wasn’t a cultivator or wasn’t handsome in appearance…
They wouldn’t even spare them a glance!
Some other wealthy girls were merely ordinary daughters of noble families.
A few of them had Spiritual Roots, but they were not strong.
They were invited to these gatherings, which occurred once every seven days!
If one refused the invitation, life in this city would become difficult for them!
Failing to attend a gathering was tantamount to offending the City Lord’s daughters!
As usual, they arrived at the tavern before noon today, which could also be described as coming for a banquet!
Each of them brought their maids to this banquet room, which was spacious enough to host several tables.
However, they gathered as more than just ten or twenty noble daughters with their entourages—it was primarily for the lively atmosphere!
They didn’t open extra rooms because it allowed them to hear each other’s words when critiquing certain young men in unison!
Of course, it was also to ensure their bets proceeded smoothly!
Noon approached, and the people standing by the windows constantly observed passersby, lamenting how ordinary they all seemed!
Some were familiar faces, including stallholders who had been setting up nearby for years!
Word had likely spread that the City Lord’s daughters, alongside some noble daughters, were holding their seven-day gathering.
The street was bustling, as many hoped to catch the attention of one of these heiresses!
If they became the subject of one of these noble daughters’ wagers, they might end up featured in a romantic tale!
There was once an out-of-town young man who came here and was used as a wager by these betting women, eventually catching the eye of one of the ladies, who chose to marry him out of infatuation!
It stirred up a renowned story!
This outsider came to roam the area but was so moved by this lady’s devotion that he stayed here to live with her.
After all, she was from a wealthy family and didn’t want to marry too far away!
Later, the man discovered that he was merely the subject of a bet, which left him feeling somewhat upset.
But when he heard the envy in others’ gazes and words, he eventually relented and happily became the groom!
Because of this incident, others no longer minded becoming the wager of these girls!
On this particular day, the street was noticeably filled with younger men, be they small-time vendors or those specifically out for a stroll!
These men didn’t necessarily come to sell or buy much.
They just hoped to become the one a noble daughter might fancy for her wager!
The City Lord’s daughters, along with other noblewomen, noticed the peculiar lively scene on the street and stared out intently!
Some of them, being cultivators, could see far with their eyes even if their Divine Sense couldn’t reach much farther.
As fellow cultivators, they could feel the aura of striking young men walking toward them!
It might have been the pressure of a powerful presence they sensed, exuded by a strong figure!
The female cultivators’ hearts began to race uncontrollably!
They overheard distant discussions and caught sight of four young, otherworldly handsome men up close.
In the Cultivation World, someone with high ability might remain a “youth” for hundreds or even a thousand years!
As long as their abilities were strong, their appearance would remain youthful!
Yet these young men, with their formidable presence, did not seem hundreds of years old.
Based on their bone age, they appeared to be merely in their twenties, or even their teens!
How could such young men of this caliber appear here?
The women began exclaiming “Wow, wow, wow,” displaying none of the supposed shame or propriety of noble daughters and ladies of wealth.
At this moment, they behaved no differently from lecherous libertines ogling beauties, utterly unbothered that they were at a tavern open to the bustling street!
The bold cheers that erupted from them were shockingly unembarrassed, boldly echoing what many others present felt in their hearts!
“Thirsty,” muttered Eryao with a sardonic comment!
The others felt Eryao was right!
This lively street had transformed into a market not just for goods but for playful banter between men and women!
Jiang Tang felt a tiny pang of regret for coming here driven by his appetite!
Under the cacophony of high-pitched “Wow, wow, wow” sounds, they ascended the stairs to the tavern.
The upstairs and downstairs patrons, observing the group entering the establishment, began following inside.
Those on the upper floors leaned anxiously over the railings to catch a glimpse, some even waiting strategically near the stairway!
The noblewomen who saw them were even more fervently hoping these young men would ascend to the second floor!
