Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Demon Duan So Terrifying

The carriage followed the stream of vehicles into the city, gradually unveiling a magnificent urban tapestry before Duan Yun’s eyes.

The early morning had just seen some rain, with the consistently aligned buildings carrying a scent of dampness, tiny droplets steadfastly clinging to the wind chimes hanging under the eaves.

With a gust of wind, the droplets shattered, and the sound of wind chimes fell into the crowd, quickly drowned out by loud human voices.

The crowd surged like a tide, yet it was a faceless multitude.

There were hurried merchants rushing along, girls dressed up brightly-strolling about, and hawkers selling candied haws, their cries mingling with the steaming vapor rising from the shops beside them.

This was Duan Yun’s first encounter with such a bustling city since he arrived in this world.

What surprised him was not only the lively scene before his eyes but also the continuous stretch of buildings.

Every fixed distance, towering buildings stood on both sides of the road, red ribbons fluttering in the wind under the flying eaves, beautiful like the rosy clouds.

Some wooden buildings were even as high as thirty meters, almost rivaling the skyscrapers from his previous life.

Duan Yun even saw a huge cage full of flowering branches, with people standing inside, rising towards the upper levels of wooden buildings.

"Elevator."

That was the first reaction in Duan Yun’s mind.

The level of architectural sophistication was somewhat beyond Duan Yun’s expectations, even though he already knew that Wangchun City was built by the skilled craftsmen of the Mo Sect.

Duan Yun couldn’t help but think of that bear, the human-bear hybrid with a human brain implanted in its head.

In a world where human brains could be transplanted, creating such a city was not impossible.

Mainly because along the way here, the towns he saw were all dilapidated, the martial artists busily fighting and killing, showing many unseemly behaviors, Duan Yun hadn’t expected that someone would put effort into this.

The carriage stopped in front of an inn named "Zuixing Building."

According to the coachman, it was the most famous inn in the outer city of Wangchun City, and also the tallest building where one could stay.

The building had thirty-nine floors in total, with the top floor’s Sky Room named "Star Picking" being an excellent spot to view the city’s nightscape.

Since it was Duan Yun’s first visit to Wangchun City, and he had just made a little extra bounty along the way, naturally he wanted to experience this somewhat decadent project.

Zuixing Building was probably similar to luxurious cart workshops; as long as the money is given, they could "put people first and create happiness through lodging."

The receptionists were not the usual inn’s servants or owners, or at most an aging matron, but uniformly young girls.

It made, it made the place look like...

How is it that many of Wangchun City’s industries seem somewhat brothel-like?

However, these girls dressed rather refreshingly and naturally, devoid of the enchanting allure found in brothels, not easily leading guests into wild imaginations.

Hearing that Duan Yun wanted to stay in the "Star Picking Room," the young lady at the counter couldn’t help but smile sweeter, her dimples as pretty as pear blossoms.

Fifteen Silver per night, how could she not be happy with that smile?

But Duan Yun figured it was about right, comparing with the top-tier aerial suites in the capital’s best inns, which never discuss cost-effectiveness, much like those tens of thousands per night presidential suites in modern society.

In Zuixing Building, Duan Yun rode what this world called an "elevator" for the first time.

A wooden, carved cage, both quaint and elegant, as the "flower cage" rose smoothly, Duan Yun almost felt like he was in a sightseeing elevator.

The "flower cage" was very steady whether going up or down, which from the visible external gears, appeared to be meticulously designed, though it was unclear what kind of power it operated on.

Could someone have already invented something like a steam engine?

Actually, Duan Yun was mistaken; in the unseen underground workshop, over a dozen muscled donkeys were slowly turning the gears by pulling on them.

These donkeys had a dull look but were almost as large as oxen, seemingly never tiring, purportedly the latest research result from the Mo Sect, having donkeys and oxen mate.

This creature was called "Bull Donkey."

And the Mo Sect’s next step was to have humans and oxen mate, to see if they could create a Bull Head humanoid.

...

Over half a month, Mr. Lu even neglected several of his wives, indulging daily in Practicing Posture.

The technique of swallowing and spitting Moonlight, Duan Yun had writings on it, but it proved a bit difficult for Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu had practiced martial arts before, but it was unrelated to the internal cultivation arts, while the Posture Practice left by Young Hero Duan combined both internal and external practices, requiring staking postures, breathing techniques, and even absorbing moonlight.

If an ordinary person told him this method, he would have scolded the other as a fraud long ago.

However, it was a fact that Duan Yun, Young Hero Duan, used terrifying methods to slay the Evil Woman of Red House and saved the Lu family; how could he not believe it?

Moreover, Mr. Lu had an inexplicable obsession with regaining his vigor.

Once mastered, he could also molest some young women.

It had been a long time since he last molested anyone.

After learning from the incident with the last woman who was an Evil Woman, Mr. Lu decided not to force marriages anymore; he would only molest.

Molest someone he knew well, no strangers!

Thinking of the beautiful future, Mr. Lu continued to train hard.

That night, Mr. Lu finally found the feeling under the moonlight...

He was going to succeed!

...

Three days later in the early morning, strange screams suddenly came from Mr. Lu’s room.

The Young Master rushed over and saw his father with a bizarre, fearful face, saying, "Hurry, go get Divine Doctor Xue!"

The Lu family and Divine Doctor Xue were old acquaintances; Divine Doctor Xue always maintained his principles, and would treat anyone as long as the payment was sufficient in Silver.

Two days later, Divine Doctor Xue arrived.

He looked at Mr. Lu’s oddly "clean" face and expressed a weird look.

"My Lord, don’t speak yet, let me take your pulse first."

Then he started to check the pulse, saying solemnly, "My Lord, have you practiced any Cultivation Technique lately?"

Mr. Lu quickly nodded, "I practiced a Posture Practice."

"The one who taught you the Cultivation Technique, was he a young man, handsome?" Divine Doctor Xue continued to ask.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mr. Lu nodded.

Divine Doctor Xue, skeptical, asked, "Did he mention his surname?"

"He said his name was Duan Yun, we wanted to call him Duan Juxia, but he asked us to just call him Young Hero."

Divine Doctor Xue stopped taking the pulse and said, "My Lord, there’s no need to undress, I think I know already."

Mr. Lu, emotionally agitated, said, "Divine Doctor Xue, save me! No matter the cost in Silver, I will pay."

Yes, he just liked to molest and marry as a hobby.

Divine Doctor Xue shook his head, "Unfortunately, there’s no cure."

"What!" Mr. Lu’s face turned pale.

"This belongs to a technique from Demon Duan, after practicing it, it causes Shrinking Yang into the Belly, becoming a woman, fallen. Even in my case, I’m powerless to help. Not just you, the renowned Lingshui Twin Heroes were also affected by this Demon Duan’s trick and turned into women."

"On his way here, he killed members of the Thunder God and Mother Sect on a whim, the calamity involving a thousand men from the Yellow Water Gang was caused by him, along with the Lingshui Twin Heroes and your fallen behavior, this Demon Duan is utterly ruthless, even I am scared when talking about him."

Divine Doctor Xue spoke articulately.

Hearing this, Mr. Lu knew his situation was utterly hopeless, he spurted a mouthful of fresh blood, shouted, "Demon Duan is so cruel!" and then fainted.

The Young Master of the house heard the noise and rushed in, frantic.

"Father!"

"Divine Doctor Xue!"

"Don’t worry, he won’t die."

Divine Doctor Xue, calm and composed, started to administer acupuncture.

Even if Mr. Lu keeps vomiting blood five or six more times, he could bring him back, but this fallen transformation was beyond help.

One can only say that Demon Duan is truly terrifying.
