"Fellow Daoist Li. It's me. Where have you reached by spaceship? Are you safe? What?? You've already arrived? You only just left! How is that possible? You're not joking, are you? What? The spiritual energy there has no impurities? Is that true? Good, I'll head over immediately. I should arrive in about a day. If possible, we can share a room. Thank you."
"Is it true? Good Fortune is that good? Oh dear, I should have just boarded with you. It will take me two more days to arrive."
"Fairy Luo, are you still coming to Tianyi City? You don't know either? Alright, I'll find a way to get there sooner."
The entire Tianyi City erupted once again.
Some regretted not taking the spaceship to save 1000 spirit coins, while others anxiously planned to team up with people to head to Good Fortune.
The news also shocked the major families and the City Lord's Mansion. They regretted not sending more people. Why wasn't the mission assigned to them? Even many cultivators who were in seclusion were alerted, thinking of various ways to rush to Good Fortune.
Inside the Tianyi City Lord's Mansion.
A beautiful woman instructed the man before her, "Xiao'er, you must seize this opportunity. I hear that Fairy Luo is only 21 years old and in the early stage of Foundation Establishment."
The man wore a white robe, his face handsome, with delicate features and a gentle smile, appearing as refined as jade.
"Mother, that's her feigned strength. Her age is likely fake too," Nangong Xiao said helplessly.
The beautiful woman looked at him as if to say, 'Do you think I'm an idiot?' "Of course, Mother knows it's fake. But why didn't she pretend to be 30, 50, or 100 years old? Why didn't she pretend to have Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivation, but Foundation Establishment?"
"Mother, you mean...?" Nangong Xiao asked hesitantly.
"Naturally, it's better to interact with people of the same age and cultivation level," the beautiful woman said earnestly, as if she were an experienced elder.
"Mother, you mean Fairy Luo is disguising herself with this cultivation level precisely to better interact with people like us, and more likely, to better interact with... men our age??" Nangong Xiao asked in surprise.
The beautiful woman nodded slightly.
"Yes, most likely. My son has an extraordinary appearance and is distinguished. Your cultivation is at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. If you can establish some connection with her and have her support, won't the entire Tianyi City be ours in the future? Who would dare to call you a concubine-born then? It wouldn't be a problem at all for you to be considered legitimate."
A gleam flickered in Nangong Xiao's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved into an arc. "Mother, you're right. Perhaps I can even marry her, and that shop will be mine too."
"Xiao'er, you'd best not think about that. That person is powerful. How could she not have a few confidantes by her side? How could her heart be devoted to just one person?" the beautiful woman advised.
"Mother, that's not necessarily true," Nangong Xiao shook his head, clearly disagreeing.
Then, he changed the subject. "However, I need to devise a strategy."
Perhaps a damsel-in-distress scenario wouldn't work, but maybe he could do the opposite.
Nangong Xiao was unaware that someone else harbored the same thoughts as him.
A handsome boy band was about to debut!
...
The scene shifted to a secluded, deserted path.
A dozen seemingly harmless young men and women were dragging a group of people towards a transparent barrier.
Suddenly, a communication talisman lit up.
The leader, Zhao Chang, wearing a light blue robe, had a handsome and gentle, harmless face. After checking the message, his steps faltered, and his expression turned gloomy.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" asked Xue Mei'er, a delicate and cute female cultivator in red beside him, with confusion.
The others also looked at the leader with curiosity.
"The soul lamps of Old Six and the others have been extinguished," Zhao Chang said in a low voice.
Xue Mei'er exclaimed in disbelief.
"How is that possible? There were three Golden Core cultivators with them, even more powerful than us. How could something have happened? Are the other teams alright?"
"A mysterious shop appeared nearby. The owner is a mysterious female cultivator."
Zhao Chang murmured in a low voice, his eyes dark and unfathomable, pondering something unknown.
"Hahaha, you deserve it, you damned evil cultivators! You won't die a good death," a burly man, bound by ropes, laughed loudly, glaring fiercely at the evil cultivators.
However, before he could finish speaking, he was punched several times by the evil cultivator guarding him.
The evil cultivator, while hitting him, looked at the burly man lecherously and said disdainfully,
"A bunch of ants, you'll die before we do. Once everyone is gathered, you'll have a taste of what's coming. Hurry up."
*Pfft!*
The burly man spat out a mouthful of blood.
The other captured individuals became silent, some female cultivators cried, some looked numb, some cast a sympathetic glance at the burly man, and some showed disapproval.
They were all bound by spirit-suppressing ropes and injured. What was the use of being sharp-tongued here? They would only get beaten. It was better to think about how to escape, some thought.
"Alright, hurry up and take them back. Don't waste time," Zhao Chang said sternly.
The group passed through the barrier and entered a long tunnel, locking the captured people in a large cage.
Ignoring their shouts, they quickly departed.
Zhao Chang sent several messages, then left with Xue Mei'er and entered a hidden formation.
The formation immediately lit up with red light, and the two soon disappeared. Kuaishu.com
......
At noon, more and more people were coming to Good Fortune shop for lunch. New customers continued to arrive.
Luo Yunshi, fearing that new arrivals wouldn't know what to do, sent Dali to help.
She then played the videos she recorded on the hovercar and the five evil cultivators confessing their crimes, which she secretly recorded with her optical computer, for the stewards of the two major sects to watch, and then paid no further attention.
She sat behind the counter, eating fruit salad, and watched the cultivators crowding around the lucky fish machine, her voice faint.
"Don't crowd, line up properly, one by one. Those who don't queue will be asked to leave."
As soon as her voice fell, the previously noisy crowd quickly formed a neat line.
"Fairy Luo, I am from the Tianyi City Lord's Mansion. When will Fairy Luo be visiting Tianyi City again?" a Golden Core cultivator stepped forward and asked cautiously.
