Chapter 1013: Chapter 665: Accurate Mine Stepping

Bustling shops, fragrance-filled restaurants, and inns bustling with people coming and going.

The outer city of Xuan City was quite thriving, with the rare presence of men being the only notable difference from other cities.

According to the female knight, the neutrality of Xuan City greatly accelerated the development of commerce here.

Merchants from all countries spared no effort to establish their shops in the outer city.

Of course, these newcomers had to meet the requirements of Xuan City.

So much so that when Li Changhe looked around, the streets were almost entirely filled with girls, beauties as common as clouds.

The last time Li Changhe saw a group of such attractive people, it was on the elven ship in the world of [Moonlit Divine Tree].

And now, Li Changhe had also caught several suggestive glances, and even outright coquettish looks.

This wasn’t really anything special, since Li Changhe himself was blessed by elves and wasn’t bad-looking, especially given the atmosphere in Xuan City.

After all, there were many wolves and little meat...

However, it was quite a novel experience for Li Changhe.

He always thought he had no luck with women... not like He Feng, whose secret admirers could probably form an enhanced platoon. After becoming a player, he had also received many comfort gifts from players unknown to Li Changhe.

Of course, Li Changhe didn’t care much about that.

With Xiao Nan by his side, whose aura seemed to ward off strangers, Li Changhe was spared a lot of hassle.

"Hehe, girl, it seems your boyfriend is quite popular, huh?" Li Changhe teased Xiao Nan, who was linked arm in arm with him, "Happy?"

"Don’t flatter yourself, no one wants you but me," Xiao Nan huffed, apparently in a rather good mood after receiving some envious and jealous glances.

As for Qiu Wentian... she wasn’t so lucky.

Along the way, she inexplicably received five handkerchiefs, nine sachets, more than a dozen coquettish looks, and several enthusiastic invitations from girls.

At first, she thought it was some sort of custom in Xuan City.

It was only after noticing the devouring looks from those girls that she realized what was happening.

She shouted indignantly, "Stop looking for me, I’m a woman!"

Many girls of Xuan City were stunned and began sizing up Qiu Wentian skeptically, thinking she was bluffing.

It wasn’t really their fault.

At the moment, Qiu Wentian was dressed in a gender-neutral black outfit, and due to certain reasons... it was understandable that she was mistaken for the opposite gender.

To some, she appeared to be a handsome and pretty young hero.

So much so that Qiu Wentian could only hide behind Chen Yu and mutter about how the person who prepared her outfit definitely deserved a beating.

"Pfft..."

The female knight and her guards struggled to suppress their laughter as they parted with Li Changhe and the others, with the knight intending to try her luck in the inner city today.

Her guards, on the other hand, were to stay in the outer city awaiting news.

"Good luck," Chen Yu said, presenting a friendly smile and handing the female knight a certain dose of High-Efficiency Healing Liquid and a sachet, which was said to bring good luck.

Upon discovering the healing effect of the High-Efficiency Healing Liquid, the knight and her guards were greatly surprised and appreciative.

They saluted Chen Yu earnestly and said, "If you ever visit Zhongshan Kingdom, you will surely be the most honored guests."

They quickly departed.

They planned to dispatch a team to send the High-Efficiency Healing Liquid back to Zhongshan Kingdom. To them, it was a rare Holy Medicine. The identity of Li Changhe and his companions also became a subject of speculation.

As for the sachet, indeed, it was just an ordinary sachet.

However, hidden within was a disguised eavesdropping device and tracking system; other skills or equipment might run the risk of being discovered.

If the female knight really encountered any danger in the inner city, this sachet might indeed save her life.

Of course, it could also help the players gather intelligence about the inner city.

Without knowledge of the situation inside, the players had no intention of entering the inner city.

"Alright, now we just need to find a place to stay," Chen Yu said.

"It’s hard not to agree," Qiu Wentian nodded seriously, wanting to find a place to change clothes right now. Players can actually change outfits in seconds, but with so many people on the streets, they need to find a safe place.

"Then I did find a good spot," Li Changhe’s gaze shifted to a black caravan not far away, "Let’s go there, we might get a lot of intelligence."

Not far away, the black caravan stopped next to an inn in the outer city’s eastern district, seemingly intending to stay in this unremarkable establishment.

And just diagonally opposite the inn was a luxurious restaurant, glittering with gold and filled with an air of opulence.

Jindeng, who had previously lost face, was now hosting a banquet for all the invitees in that restaurant.

After all, his Great Chen was a country that could rival Chenhai—at least that was the image they portrayed—and many invitees had given him that respect.

The full house of guests had lifted Jindeng’s spirits.

Though the plan to delay the Chenhai caravan had failed, he could use this opportunity to network with more invitees.

Those he invited were either nobles or heroes who had received invitations. Cultivating good relations with them was clearly beneficial for Great Chen.

Later, Jindeng went to the entrance and watched the black carriage silently enter the back courtyard of the inn.

Jindeng laughed loudly, "What’s the matter? Has Chenhai become so poor that you can’t even afford a decent inn? Why not join us here? There’s plenty of food and drink."

Any discerning person could see that this was hardly an invitation.

Jindeng was clearly trying to regain his confidence from this situation.

Inside the caravan, Guo Yi snorted coldly, "No need to trouble yourself, enjoy your banquet. Maybe in the future, you’ll only be able to have it burnt as offerings for you."

Jindeng’s face twitched, and he watched Guo Yi enter the inn with no chance to vent his anger.

After taking a deep breath, he was about to return to the restaurant to continue interacting with the guests.

But just as he was about to go back, he saw Li Changhe and his party approaching from the end of the street.

His eyes brightened at the sight, and even though Li Changhe and Xiao Nan brought him an inexplicable sense of irritation, he had no intention of giving up on the beautiful women.

After straightening himself up, he walked forward with a few guards, intending to personally invite them.

Of course, Li Changhe had already noticed him and had even overheard his conversation with Guo Yi.

He was not interested in this foppish, effeminate pretty boy, even feeling a strange repulsion.

So, before Jindeng could speak, Li Changhe waved his hand and said, "Don’t start, we don’t need to play out that tired old scene of being hit on and then rejected."

Jindeng was taken aback, unable to understand the meaning right away. He didn’t know the word ’hit on’ either.

He assumed it was a rejection from Li Changhe and Xiao Nan.

So he instinctively looked at Chen Yu, who was behind them.

As an individual with high energy, Chen Yu was naturally sensitive, and upon noticing Jindeng’s aggressively ogling gaze,

she shivered and took a subtle step to the side, instinctively hiding behind Li Changhe.

And then uttered the shocking statement, "I’m his second wife."

Li Changhe’s body shuddered, nearly collapsing to his knees.

And yelled in [Friends], "Are you seriously ill? Distract him mentally!"

Chen Yu immediately responded, "There isn’t enough time, help me out, please!"

Xiao Nan’s eyebrows only slightly raised, showing no outburst of emotion.

She knew Chen Yu was just using Li Changhe as a shield for the moment.

Soon enough, there might even be a ’third wife’...

"Tsk, this still doesn’t feel quite right..." Xiao Nan thought to herself.

While Qiu Wentian was hesitating whether or not to claim she was the ’third wife’,

Jindeng finally spoke up, looking at Qiu Wentian with a kindly face and asked, "Then, would this young brother be willing..."

"Sss~" Li Changhe and the others all sucked in a breath of cold air.

The precision of this mine-stepping was so impressive, Li Changhe would acknowledge Jindeng as the strongest!
