After giving him a tepid glance, she took Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s hand and went inside. Feng Jiu whispered as they sat back on the soft couch, “If you attack directly, there could be a lot of trouble behind you. Just let it go and step back.”
With a smile, Xuanyuan Mo Ze said to her, “I was always worried that you would struggle when you were out on your own. However, watching you deal with things these days proves that my concerns are unnecessary.”
“But while you worry about me, don’t forget how long I’ve been out by myself. How can I not be able to handle something so trivial?” She chuckled and said, “Also, attacking isn’t always the best way to solve things.”
“Since this is the case, I can cultivate in seclusion without any worries.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said as he looked at her. “After these few days are over, I’m ready to cultivate in seclusion and break through the peak of Celestial level as soon as possible.”
“Our house has a cave dwelling in the back mountain. I’ve asked Du Fan to set up a Spirit Gathering Array there as well as a few formation arrays and boundaries. No one will bother you. You don’t have to be concerned about the rest. I’ll handle everything.”
Because she still needed to refine some medicinal pills, cultivating in seclusion was impossible at this time. Another reason was that the two of them going into seclusion at the same time was unnecessary, especially since she had only recently broken through in her cultivation strength. Even if she went into seclusion, she would be unable to reach the Celestial Peak level, but would only be able to keep her condition stable.
Since this was the case, they should maximise their efforts to establish a firm foothold in Cardinal Point City during this period.
Meanwhile, Young Master Yuan returned to his room and sat down. A beautiful woman attended to his wound. He noticed that the pain was fading not long after using the medicine in the bottle. He couldn’t help but stare with surprise at the medicine bottle.
What an odd effect this medication had. How did it manage to work so quickly? Where did she get the medicine? He had never seen this type of bottle and ointment in Cardinal Point City before.
Because of the recent scene, guests from other rooms in the City in the Sky took a closer look at Room 9. Just as the next beast fight was about to start, the man who had previously stirred trouble looked at Feng Jiu and said, “Two guests in Room 9, I wonder if you dare to bet with me?”
Feng Jiu raised her brows when she heard this. She didn’t mind because she just wanted to stay out of trouble. Who knew this person could go on and on? In this case, if she didn’t teach him a lesson, would that make him think that they are easy to pick on?
She immediately chuckled and casually asked, “What do you want to bet on? How does it work?”
When he heard this, the man’s eyes lit up. “Let us each send one of our contract beasts to fight. As for the wager, how about I take out 100,000 gold coins?”
“Betting on gold coins? It’s boring.” Feng Jiu wasn’t all that interested. “Without something better to wager, this won’t be interesting.”
The man’s eyes flashed and he asked, “What do you want to bet on?”
Feng Jiu said slowly, fiddling with her hair that was falling down on her chest. “You proposed the bet. I will not bet, however, if the wager does not pique my interest. What to bet on is determined by what you can come up with.”
People in other rooms were watching with interest as they heard this. Anyway, they were idle and didn’t mind watching the play.
