New Chapter: Mixed-Gender Doubles
Zhuo Yanran loves black, and her waist-cinching long dress accentuates her beautiful figure, highlighting several graceful curves. Her tall and slender figure makes her a natural clothes hanger.
A smile graced her delicate face. Although it was their first meeting, she praised Kong Xuan, appearing quite enthusiastic.
Clearly, she was trying to elevate Xuanxuan and suppress Qi.
Wang Xuan, a demon king who was not good with words and even seemed a little awkward, gave her positive feedback with a simple smile.
He really wanted to say more, but he could only mutter to himself: We're acquaintances, we've sparred with each other, and some of the more prone to tears even shed some of them back then.
The fight was one thing, but they had also had drinks and small gatherings on Turtle Island under the moonlight, so they were quite familiar with each other.
An Jingqi is tall and slender, and when she stands next to Zhuo Yanran, they seem to be competing for attention and vying for beauty with each other, both in terms of appearance and aura.
She turned slightly, her profile exquisite, and chuckled, "Judging from your tea-obsessed manner, you just came from that 'Daoist Tea' shop across the street, didn't you?"
As expected, the moment these two met, they engaged in a fierce verbal battle, arguing and insulting each other. Both were exceptionally beautiful and possessed extraordinary charisma, rare even among female immortals, yet their banter was truly unconventional.
"How can I compare to you? You've clearly lost your slender waist, and now you're here petting cats together." Zhuo Yanran's face was innocent, but her black dress exuded a mature vibe, creating a strong contrast.
Wang Xuan felt that these two girls were very good at verbal sparring; they were already exchanging barbs the moment they met.
Wolverine, Chong Xiao, Luo Ying, and Six-Eyed Golden Cicada looked at each other in surprise. They couldn't help but mutter to themselves, "The main character has appeared so quickly."
An Jingqi, with her slender figure and graceful movements, came to Zhuo Yanran's side and stood naturally next to her. Then, she decisively and quickly reached for Zhuo Yanran's smooth abdomen.
"Are you still throwing up?" she asked with a beautiful smile as she turned her profile.
In fact, she did not touch it. At this level, no one can be easily approached or touched. Zhuo Yanran's body glowed and she moved away.
"An Jingqi!" Zhuo Yanran's face was displeased. She felt that the other party had crossed the line and was about to lose her temper.
"Sorry, I forgot the occasion." An Jingqi generously picked up Bear Pang and handed it to her for petting.
The two of them were still mindful of their image, knowing when to stop in front of others and avoiding overly intense mutual insults to prevent being laughed at. As a result, their relationship quickly improved again.
However, certain actions still revealed clues. Zhuo Yanran did not reach out to take the national treasure, but instead stroked it twice and patted its head.
Bear Pang looked up from the bright red, glistening peach, his face full of confusion. Why had they changed hands again? Had they given him bamboo or a peach?
"Sisters, let's go for a stroll together." Luo Ying stepped forward and invited them to "hunt for treasures" together. There were all sorts of legends about finding bargains in the curio section.
Of course, many more people get scammed, and many rumors about finding bargains originate from the mouths of the sellers.
The three walked together, chatting and laughing, temporarily turning the page.
Although there are many female immortals here, they are all overshadowed and pale in comparison. Of course, those with outstanding appearance and temperament will also attract attention from all sides.
During this time, Zhuo Yanran was using a communicator to contact people outside.
Inside the shop of the Long-armed Divine Ape Clan, Yuan Sheng was lost in thought. Had a fight still not broken out? The scene he was hoping for never materialized.
Xuan Tian also had a strange expression on his face. He had seen the situation in the distance the whole time. Suddenly, his expression changed. Zhuo Yanran was contacting him.
"Don't you and Lu Renjia have a lot in common? Help me with something."
Xuan Tian's expression immediately changed upon seeing this. Was this someone going to settle scores with him? He had called Lu Renjia to watch the demons fight last night, and there were pictures to prove it, so he was caught red-handed.
"My relationship with him is just so-so!" he denied immediately.
Zhuo Yanran's words flashed by instantly. "I'm not trying to cause you trouble. Contact Lu Renjia. When we were drinking under the moonlit night in the Mysterious Sea, didn't he say..."
A moment later, the Mysterious Mobile Phone started to move again and was about to appear automatically, but fortunately Wang Xuan noticed it in time and stopped it.
"You have a new message," the Mysterious Mobile Phone told him.
"It manifested to me alone through a spiritual imprint," Wang Xuan said.
Then he learned that it was Xuan Tian who contacted him. "Brother Lu, you made my life miserable last night!"
Then, Xuan Tian got to the point and asked him if he still remembered the promise he made to his old friend on Turtle Island by the Mysterious Sea.
Wang Xuan was a little confused. A promise? To whom? He was drinking under the moon that day, and although he was in high spirits, he wasn't drunk. Did he say anything?
"Didn't you tell Zhuo Yanran that night when you parted, that you could help her fight her best friend if needed?" Xuan Tian said, forcing a smile.
Wang Xuan remembered that before leaving, he was trying to ease the atmosphere and was also joking with Zhuo Yanran because he had heard that she was driving a warship around beating up her best friend, which was very interesting.
When Zhuo Yanran heard him finish speaking, her face turned completely dark. She thought he was mocking her, so she turned her back on him and walked away.
So she's brought this up again? I guess she's been under a lot of pressure lately.
Xuan Tian was genuinely worried at this moment. He had secretly helped Zhuo Yanran hire someone to ambush Fairy An. He knew he would suffer a terrible fate after the incident was exposed.
"When it comes to a duel with True Immortal level, don't go all out; stop when you've made your move," he quickly added.
Wang Xuan's facial expression was priceless. He truly hadn't expected to receive two commissions in one day. An Jingqi wanted to hire Kong Xuan to fight against Zhuo Yanran, while Zhuo Yanran hired Lu Renjia to deal with An Jingqi.
The atmosphere was rather strange. He wanted to laugh at the whole thing, but he had to restrain himself and could only look up at the sky.
This means he's agreeing. He's essentially changing his identity and fighting each of the two women at the True Immortal Level separately. This would be a true mixed doubles match.
When he thought about those scenes, he felt something was off. It was strange that the two people involved had secretly encouraged him to fight again.
If the truth were to be revealed one day, what expressions would An Jingqi and Zhuo Yanran have? Not to mention the parties involved, even Wang Xuan would find it amusing, his face full of smiles.
"Hey bro, what are you laughing at? Your face looks like a flower bud." The wolverine sidled up to him.
Unbeknownst to them, the three women were walking ahead, their stunning beauty attracting the attention of many. In contrast, the group of people and the National Treasure Clan walked behind, keeping a distance.
"Nothing much, I just don't know if we'll find any treasures today," Wang Xuan replied casually.
The shop the three women entered before them sold incredibly expensive curiosities, all of them luxury items, with prices that were outrageously high.
Wang Xuan, the wolverine, and the Six-Eyed Golden Cicada didn't want to go in. Even a group of highly valuable Black and White Bear were shocked, slamming their fists on the table with the shop owner, deeming the price "outrageous."
"Stop arguing, just don't buy it," Wang Xuan advised.
In these famous time-honored shops, a single "Youth Never-Aging Flower" was priced as high as Five-Colored Strange Bamboo, which was simply outrageous. However, to Wang Xuan and Xiong Shan's astonishment, a middle-aged woman bought it quite calmly.
"It doesn't increase your cultivation level, it just makes your skin a little brighter, is it really necessary?" Xiong Shan muttered.
"Stop complaining. Do you know who that was just now? A concubine of some extraordinary person." Zhuo Yanran turned around and reminded him.
Then they discovered that many people were coming and going from this kind of shop, and even An Jingqi and Zhuo Yanran bought a Star Robe and a Moonlight Shawl, respectively.
"How extravagant! That's enough to buy a VIP ticket to the Bronze Giant Palace." The wolverine was astonished to find that the two Great Kings of their Five Elements Mountain were really poor in Sky City.
Wang Xuan comforted him, saying, "Don't be envious. Although they are very expensive, the most conscientious thing about luxury goods is that they never rip off poor people."
"That makes a lot of sense," the wolverine nodded.
But he still sighed, wanting to buy the Heavenly Wolf Scripture for the Young Lang Tian, only to be shocked by its exorbitant price.
Lang Tian was quite sensible and said, "Father, there's no need to buy it. The inheritance I need is contained in my blood. As I grow, those scripture fragments will automatically appear."
Finally, Wang Xuan and Lang Tian bought him a rare treasure, the Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon Tower, for self-defense. After a group of national treasures helped them bargain, the price wasn't outrageous.
"Let's go, let's go, let's separate from those three and find treasures by sight," said Six-Eyed Golden Cicada, pulling Wang Xuan and the others to the stalls ahead, putting a considerable distance between them and An Jingqi, Zhuo Yanran, and Luo Ying.
The Wonders Zone is vast and the most popular place in Sky City, where Supernatural Practitioner all races can be seen, including many Super Peerless.
There are even rumors that some extraordinary people like to come here to experience the bustling world and, incidentally, use their exceptional eyesight to find treasures.
It can be said that this place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, including all kinds of Supernatural Practitioner, and all of them have very high levels of cultivation.
A large crowd had gathered in front of it. The stall was huge and very popular. At the same time, a Strong Radiation energy could be felt from a distance.
"Hmm?" Wang Xuan's heart stirred. He took a deep breath. Among these mottled Radiated Matter, some strange factors were quite attractive to him.
To be precise, it was the circulation path of the "Star River Cleansing Body Scripture" that he practiced that was tempting.
At that moment, starlight shone in his cells, and the scriptures circulated on their own.
"Let's go take a look." This time he took the initiative to walk forward and approach the stall.
"The minerals sold are a specialty of the Luofu Star Domain. That star region has many immortal mines, with mining sites densely packed together, and the radioactive immortal materials produced are also diverse, with all kinds of quality and type."
Xiongshan of the Black and White Bear Clan said that he was quite familiar with it and very interested in it because his clansmen had once bought Feathered Golden Bamboo. Although it had been buried in the mine for a long time and had become crystallized golden bamboo ore, it was still very attractive to them because certain substances could be extracted from it.
As Wang Xuan approached, he immediately knew what had attracted him: some of the minerals contained a rich, dazzling starlight that gathered together without dissipating, which was quite bizarre.
He was moved. If he could find a pile of minerals containing rich starlight and practice the "Star River Cleansing Body Scripture," he might be able to break through the cultivation barrier very quickly.
He was startled. The moment he opened his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, he saw something extraordinary. This place was no ordinary place. Although these were all obvious materials, they also held hidden secrets and were incredibly valuable.
Some of the starlight clusters even contained traces of blood. Was that the blood of an alien? This was very unusual and extraordinary!
"Ladies and gentlemen, these are the finest of mineral treasures. Don't miss them!" the stall owner shouted.
Wang Xuan and his group naturally gathered around. He examined the materials carefully and found that the radioactive substances were indeed astonishing. If he found the right thing, he might be able to break through the barrier of his "Star River Cleansing Body Scripture", which would also mean that his own realm would be improved.
"Are you Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan?" At this moment, a man in gray walked over, smiling broadly as he greeted Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan was surprised, not recognizing him, but still nodded and said, "It's me. May I ask who you are?"
"Haha, as expected of Brother Kong, a handsome and dignified man, exuding Daoist charm. He truly deserves to be called a recently risen top-tier True Immortal." The gray-robed man flattered him from the start, his face full of smiles. He then introduced himself as Gu Ming, from the Bronze Giant Palace.
Wang Xuan was puzzled; he had no connection with him, so why had he come to his door?
The gray-robed man, Gu Ming, said, "It is so. The Bronze Giant Palace sincerely invites all kinds of geniuses to compete in the arena and improve themselves through actual combat with geniuses of the same level. We have cooperated with many lineages to provide a platform for young talents to hone their skills. Our goal is to help the most outstanding Supernatural Practitioner transform, to help them grow at all costs, to break their own limits, and ultimately achieve a great rebirth and a qualitative change."
Wang Xuan was moved. It was a gladiatorial arena, clearly a place where people were forced to risk their lives, a place of bloodshed and violence, yet the person who came spoke of it in such a noble and selfless way. He was quite a talent.
"We will prioritize providing you with rare medicines, scriptures, and appearance fees, and help you find the most suitable opponents to hone your skills. I don't know if you've heard of him recently, but there's a True Immortal named Lu Renjia, who is not much weaker than you. There's also Ye Ge, the number one True Immortal in the Six Realms, a newly enshrined figure in the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, who is also worth paying attention to and is suitable as an opponent."
Wang Xuan's expression turned strange. What did this mean? Did they want him to hit himself?
Suddenly, a scream rang out, and Chen Yu stumbled backward, both shocked and furious.
At the same time, a blinding light emanated from the wolverine. He was somewhat dazed. A feather behind his head dimmed, and a blurry figure sitting cross-legged on his head exploded, dying in place of his true form!
At the same time, several burly men quickly surrounded them, shouting and threatening to continue attacking Chen Yu, while also trying to kill the wolverine.
"Father!" the Young Lang Tian cried out in alarm, but he was also targeted and kicked away, his mouth full of blood and foam.
Boom!
Wang Xuan, Chong Xiao, Six-Eyed Golden Cicada, and the others all moved and rushed over quickly. They could hardly believe it. This was Sky City, in broad daylight, under the clear sky, yet someone dared to kill in the city.
