A Special Hobby
Seeing this, the others also spoke up.
"Those two guys are really ungrateful!"
"You really think you're something special, daring to disturb our drinking session?"
"Brother Duanmu should really throw those two out!"
But Qinglan's heart stirred, and she looked at Dugu Yuqing, asking, "Why can't we drink?"
Dugu Yuqing said calmly, "This wine is poisoned."
Poisonous!
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar.
"Are you crazy? How dare you say the Duanmu Family's Divine Brew is poisonous?!"
"He's obviously a madman."
"This kind of person comes from a lowly background and only thinks about attracting attention all day long; they're not worth mentioning!"
Everyone was sarcastic and cynical.
Some people even stepped forward, raised their glasses, and drank them down in one gulp, saying disdainfully, "Poisoned? Such fine wine, where would poison come from? I think you're just jealous!"
Dugu Yuqing frowned and said, "What you drank wasn't poisoned, but what they drank was poisoned."
"Nonsense!"
At this moment, Duanmu Yang was truly furious and said, "You two have insulted me time and time again. Do you really think I, Duanmu, have a good temper?"
"Men, throw them out!"
His eyes flashed with murderous intent; he hadn't expected that his plan would be seen through by two country bumpkins.
Beside them, several powerful middle-aged men immediately approached Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing.
"Wait a minute,"
At this moment, Qinglan suddenly spoke up, saying, "Young Master Duanmu, shall we exchange a cup?"
As she spoke, she handed over the drinks.
Upon seeing this, Duanmu Yang was immediately taken aback.
"Miss Qinglan, do you also doubt me?" he asked in return.
"Young Master Duanmu is overthinking it; he simply wants to make a change."
Qinglan's expression was indifferent.
Duanmu Yang's face grew increasingly gloomy, and he said:
"I, Duanmu, am an upright and honorable person. Qinglan, is it really okay for you to embarrass me like this?"
"If you yourself don't dare to drink it, then forget it."
Qinglan said calmly, "Thank you for your care along the way, Young Master Duanmu. My sister and I will take our leave now."
After saying that, she turned to Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing and said, "Young Master, how about we travel together?"
Lu Rang said, "Okay!"
I boarded the ship earlier simply because I was seasick and couldn't find my way to the Immortal Burial Mountain Range.
They'd be there in no time, and naturally didn't want to put up with this nonsense on the ship any longer.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Duanmu Yang said in a gloomy tone, "You think you can just leave whenever you want? Do you think my Duanmu Family doesn't exist?"
"Guards! Kill these two! I want them dead!"
He glared fiercely at Lu Rang and the other man, his killing intent palpable!
It was all because of those two guys that my plans were ruined.
He had drugged the drink; once Qinglan and Xia Yao drank it, the two beauties would be completely at his mercy.
At this moment, the plan completely fell through.
Without a doubt, Qinglan will no longer trust me!
Immediately, several of the Duanmu Family's subordinates stepped forward coldly.
"Go to hell!"
They roared and attacked Dugu Yuqing and his companion!
These subordinates were all powerful cultivators, all at the Body Integration Realm Supreme.
However, Dugu Yuqing merely frowned and waved her hand.
Immediately, all of his subordinates screamed in agony!
"Ah--"
They were sent flying backwards, crashing heavily onto the spaceship!
Everyone was immediately taken aback.
"This person's cultivation is extraordinary; with a mere wave of his hand, even Supreme is no match for him?"
"Horrible!"
"Underestimated... He's probably at least a quasi-immortal? At this age... he's truly a prodigy."
Everyone was shocked and discussing it, and instantly, the way they looked at Lu Rang and the other person changed!
They were born in the Earth Wind Realm, but even in the Earth Character Realm, to be able to cultivate to the Body Integration Realm Stage or above at the age of twenty is already considered outstanding!
"A bunch of trash, as weak as ants, dare to act like big shots?"
Lu Rang mocked him mercilessly.
"You... you've gone too far!"
Duanmu Yang was furious. "Does he really think the Duanmu Family has no one to rely on?!"
As he spoke, two elderly men stepped out from the arena!
The two old men possessed extremely powerful auras.
"Gentlemen, don't you think it's a bit too domineering to make a move on our Duanmu Family's ship?"
One of them stared intently at the Lu Rang, his cultivation already unleashed.
Immortal!
These are two Immortal!
--The Duanmu Family is a major clan in the Earth Wind Alliance, and there are celestial immortals in the clan.
Although this competition was only for the younger generation, the Duanmu Family still sent senior experts to escort them.
"Heh, so what if you have some cultivation? Before you grow stronger, you're destined to be crushed!"
Duanmu Yang said viciously, "Remember this in your next life: in this world, aptitude and talent aren't the most important things; background is!"
"You've offended the Duanmu Family; your only fate is to be crushed!"
The two Immortal were already approaching Lu Rang and his companion.
"Tsk tsk, the Duanmu Family, what a powerful background, I'm so scared..."
Lu Rang stepped forward coldly and said, "If you want to compare backgrounds, let alone you, even the entire Earth Wind Alliance wouldn't be qualified!"
He scoffed!
As he spoke, he casually put down the pot of grass he was carrying on his back.
He could easily destroy two Immortal, but he wanted to test the power of this herb!
However, when he took out the herb, the two Immortal' expressions changed drastically!
"What... what is that earthenware pot with grass growing in it? Why do I sense such a terrifying aura..."
A celestial Immortal murmured.
"This is extraordinary... This thing is extremely dangerous, its grade is probably above that of a Celestial Immortal!"
The other person spoke.
The two exchanged a glance.
"These two country bumpkins must have some big connections!"
The two immediately reached a consensus!
An old man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We two were blind to your greatness, please forgive us!"
Everyone on the spaceship was shocked by what they saw.
This is Immortal from the Duanmu Family! How could he apologize to two country bumpkins?
That's incredible.
Duanmu Yang was also very surprised, his eyes filled with confusion.
A hint of surprise appeared in Qinglan's usually calm eyes.
Xia Yao was so surprised that her mouth dropped open.
"We had no intention of offending you, please forgive us!"
The Immortal from the Duanmu Family continued, saying, "We are all from the Heavenly Realm, and we'll inevitably run into each other again. Please be lenient!"
He was truly terrified. If the other party actually used that pot of flowers, everyone on the ship would likely die!
Although the Duanmu Family is quite powerful, with a Celestial Immortal in charge, their influence in Yellow Heaven Prefecture is limited. Therefore, it's best not to offend them if possible.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing simply said, "Never mind."
"Senior Brother, let's go--"
Lu Rang reluctantly put it away, saying, "You got off easy this time."
The two then left.
"Young Master Duanmu, farewell."
At this moment, Qinglan spoke calmly, and then followed Lu Rang and the others, leaving the spaceship.
"Ahhh--"
Seeing the four leave, Duanmu Yang was filled with extreme resentment.
"My two uncles, why did you let these two go!"
He was filled with resentment.
"Duanmu Yang, you have no right to question us!"
One of the Immortal spoke coldly, saying, "The other party is definitely not an ordinary person. They are carrying an unspeakable magical artifact. Once they use it, this ship will probably be completely destroyed before it even reaches the Immortal Burial Mountain Range!"
Upon hearing this, everyone on the ship was shocked.
These are clearly two country bumpkins, how can they be so terrifying?
They left the spaceship.
"Thank you both, Young Master. If it weren't for you two, my sister and I might have already been harmed by Duanmu Yang."
Qinglan expressed her gratitude.
No need for thanks.
Dugu Yuqing shook her head.
"My name is Qinglan, and this is my junior sister Xia Yao. We both come from the Xuan Nu Earth Wind Realm Mysterious Woman Sect."
"May I ask which state you two are from? Where do you come from?"
Qinglan continued speaking, her beautiful eyes seemingly filled with curiosity.
"We come from Xuan Cheng Prefecture."
Dugu Yuqing spoke, "Xuan Cheng Prefecture is a prefecture that borders Profound Heaven Realm."
He didn't want to reveal his origins; after all, Profound Heaven Prefecture was too sensitive.
"As for our teacher... we did indeed learn from a senior in a Small Mountain Village."
At this moment, Lu Rang suddenly said, "Ladies, I see that you have extraordinary physiques. Do you... do you have any special hobbies?"
Upon hearing this, both Qinglan and Xia Yao were taken aback.
