Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 282 Crushed Hopes

Ye Ling looked at the wry smile on Wu Long's face with wide eyes, unable to believe that this man has even managed to stretch his hands to one of the most powerful solitary cultivators in the Seven Boundless Worlds.

"D-did you learn Sword from her?

She then gasped as she suddenly understood that he always said that he learned his sword from three people, the first of whom was Wu Mengqi, the second herself, and the third must have been someone that he met after.

"Un, I became her 7th unofficial disciple, so please take care of me senior-apprentice sister. Though the world still only knows of the Five Sacred Swords as her disciples of course"

He nodded and she smiled at being called by that title.

"I only learned from her when I was very little you know, I didn't think she would even remember teaching me, let alone recognize me as a disciple"

"On the contrary, it was her who told me that I was her 7th disciple"

Wu Long smiled and Ye Ling blushed as she could not sit still and leaned on his shoulder while he wrapped his arm around her.

It also finally made sense to her that he would be so proficient in sword as to even comprehend Sword Domain.

"...Do you think that impostor really comprehended Sword Domain?"

When she thought of the Sword Domain, her thoughts went to the conversation earlier, and her voice became slightly icy when she said the word 'impostor'.

"Hmm, hard to say, it is truly unlikely, but there sometimes appear geniuses who defy the norms, so I cannot say that it is impossible. I managed to comprehend it after all, so there is no reason anyone else could not"

Wu Long shrugged as he truly could not tell, but he too was intrigued. Since if true, that man who called himself 'Sword God' would be a terrifying genius indeed. Since he would have done it in the world where inheritances of cultivation and techniques were largely severed. contemporary romance

"But you comprehended it under the guidance of the best Sword Master in the Seven Boundless Worlds, doing it on his own..."

"Not really, I comprehended my Sword Domain prior to meeting her, that was the whole reason she became interested in taking me in as a disciple, even if an unofficial one"

Wu Long chuckled at the shock in the blue eyes of this beauty.

As they talked a little more about the Sword God, the carriages rattled along, taking them further and further from the Profound Music Palace.

The scenery changed after days of travel as they arrived in flatlands, the start of the Gugong Kingdom that lay north, between the Yen Kingdom and Wood Spirit Empire.

It was not a desert but the vegetation was still quite scarce, indicating a prairie.

The carriage drivers lay the route to a big merchant city where the group would have to switch rides since these carriage drivers only knew the road until there.

"Wow! So busy"

Gong Cui exclaimed as they stepped off the carriages in a bustling square of arriving carriages. The city was full of life and vibrance, and as Wu Long and his ladies appeared in the view, they attracted quite a few eyes. The beauties around him especially received much attention since so many heavenly beauties in one group was a rare sight even for such a big city.

As they went through the streets the same scene of eyes widening and glistening with covetous greed repeated itself, but there did not seem to be an idiot who thought he could take on multiple Foundation Building Realm experts.

However, as they sat in a restaurant for a meal while Old Yen went off to gather intel and Butler Bang went to prepare their accommodations, finally one such specimen appeared as a young man in luxurious robes approached them.

"Young Master Hei..."

"I said it's fine, I am just going to talk to them, as long as the ladies don't interfere that idiot is nothing"

There were two guards behind him, both in Revolving Qi Realm, trying to stop him but he seemed to be quite confident in his charms, intending to woo the women such that the only one he antagonized was the man in Qi Manifestation Realm.

"Hello beauties, how about drinking with me? I can give you a better time than that peasant, and also make-... oh it seems you know what's goo-"

He approached them and Wu Mengqi, who was the closest sitting to him and widened her eyes like the others, stood up. She smiled in his face with a bright grin, as the young man smiled as well, now completely confident that he had this.

*Crush*

A sound of something soft but still somewhat crispy being crushed resounded, and the place turned dead silent as men in the restaurant paled and instinctively covered the place between their legs with their hands while the young man froze.

"Iiii...."

A tiny very high pitched noise escaped the young man, his eyes rolling up as he started falling backward.

Wu Long stood up with a serious look and approached them as the bodyguards behind the young man hurriedly made the injured fellow retreat and one of them stood in front of him.

But Wu Long ignored them and came close to Wu Mengqi, squatting and taking out a napkin.

"Mengqi, haaa~ why would you do that with your leg? We have to clean you up as soon as possible"

"That is your concern?!"

Wei Lan exclaimed as it was far more pressing in her view to worry about her possibly severing someone's inheritance while the other beauties wryly smiled.

"Ah, true, sorry, next time I'll use the hilt of my sword"

Wu Mengqi said as Wu Long was thoroughly rubbing her pants with the napkin.

"Y-You! You will pay for this!!!"

The young man who had at first lost consciousness in the arms of his bodyguard while frothing at his mouth now woke up and shrieked with an unpleasantly high pitch in his voice.

"Don't worry, I heard they grow back"

"Cui'er!"

Gong Cui shouted while placing both her hands around her mouth for better acoustics as Gong Liwei looked at her with widened eyes.

"R-Really?"

The young man looked at her in his confusion.

"I don't know that's what people around shouted when I saw someone got hit there, though it didn't quite have that sound"

She shrugged her shoulders as the young man almost crushed his own teeth from clenching his jaws in frustration as the tiny hope that was rising was mercilessly crushed.

As Wei Lan was worriedly looking at Wu Long he stood up and gave her a smile.

"Don't worry, Lan'er, we would eventually have to talk to this 'Young Master Hei', since it seems that I have found something unexpected here"

Wei Lan widened her eyes and then almost gasped as she looked at Shen Min but she showed no signs of emotion or her true self surfacing, making Wei Lan confused since her first thought went to Lust Cultivators.

However, it seemed that there was something different about this young man indeed as his eyes turned bloodshot, while veins started to become visible on his neck and his breathing turned rough. It looked as if he was turning rabid right in front of their eyes, surprising the beauties while Ye Ling's expression turned to that of scorn.
