Stealing Leisure Amidst the Bustle

Amber rarely had the chance to fight an enemy head-on. Usually, when Lu Ye was killing foes, it would quietly crouch on his shoulder and lend him its strength.

Now that it had finally caught an opportunity, it naturally cherished it dearly.

It did not even reveal its true form, fighting its opponent with only its cat-sized body.

It handled the battle with ease!

Within the Heaven's Mystery Merchant Guild, Lu Ye's cultivation had leaped from Tier Six to Tier Eight. How could Yiyi and Amber have failed to grow as well?

Against an enemy at Tier Five, Amber could easily win even without giving its all.

The cultivator's emotions gradually shifted from initial fury to shock, then to despair...

Several dozen breaths later, he voluntarily conceded defeat.

He could not even defeat someone else's pet beast. There was no point in continuing.

The moment he conceded, his figure immediately vanished.

Lu Ye also withdrew from this battle arena right after, moving on to the next match.

And so it went...

The enemies he encountered varied greatly in cultivation, ranging from Tier One to Tier Nine. Lu Ye had no idea what principle governed the matchmaking, but it was most likely some sort of random selection.

If an enemy's cultivation was low, Lu Ye would let Amber fight. Only against those above Tier Seven would he personally take action.

There were even some matches that ended before they began.

That was because the other party recognized Lu Ye at a glance.

Before the Heaven's Mystery Merchant Guild, Lu Ye had slain Xia Liang in full view of everyone. He was now publicly acknowledged as one of the strongest figures in the Cloud River Realm. Once ordinary cultivators recognized him, how could they still have any desire to fight him?
