It wasn't until Ye Fan took out his VIP token and walked in that many in the crowd couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
“What?”
“He actually has a VIP token?”
“What did he do to get the Blood Fiend Tower to give him a VIP token?”
Meanwhile, Hei Lingyue's eyes sparkled. Wow... Senior Brother is so handsome.
“Senior Brother, can I go in with you?”
Ignoring her second senior brother's attempts to stop her, Hei Lingyue ran after him like crazy.
Ye Fan didn't say much. Once they were inside the secret realm, this woman would still be a decent helper.
Led by the Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivator, Lu Ming and Diao San's group made their way up to the second floor.
“Honored guest, you may enter by tapping your entry token here.”
Lu Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes. Is this place really that advanced?
He then took out his entry token and tapped it against the formation on the door.
“Beep... Welcome, honored guest. We wish you a pleasant shopping experience...”
Lu Ming felt as if he were checking into a hotel room.
Accompanied by the pleasant welcome from a female voice, the door slid open silently.
The moment the door opened, a dazzling light nearly blinded Lu Ming.
Gold. Looking around, aside from the dozens of fist-sized illumination crystals on the ceiling, the entire massive room was completely gold.
Gold tables, gold chairs, and even the fruit platters on the tables were gold.
The high-end, luxurious golden color instantly maxed out the room's prestige.
“Hiss...”
Lu Ming couldn't help but gasp. How much fucking gold is this?
Although gold was basically useless to cultivators—after all, they used spirit stones—Lu Ming still had a special weakness for it. He still couldn't help but feel joy and excitement whenever he saw gold. There was no helping it; he had loved this stuff in his past life.
Stepping into the room, he instantly felt as if he had entered an ocean of spiritual energy. The dense energy made his entire body feel incredibly comfortable.
Behind Lu Ming, Diao San and the others were also incredibly excited. However, for the sake of the Heavenly Demon Sect's image, they suppressed their excitement.
Still, their excitement was entirely different from Lu Ming's.
Lu Ming was excited about the gold, while they were excited about the rich spiritual energy. They had never seen anything like this in their entire lives, let alone cultivated in such an environment.
Diao San swallowed hard, desperately wanting to sit down and cultivate for just a couple of minutes. But he held back. He had only one thought in mind: he absolutely could not embarrass the two Sect Masters, nor could he bring shame to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
He then turned around and shot Erniu and the others a look: Don't embarrass us, you bastards.
Erniu and the others returned his gaze with determined eyes, signaling for Diao San to rest easy.
“Take a seat, everyone.”
“Thank you, Sect Master, but standing is fine for us,” Diao San hastily declined.
“If I tell you to sit, then sit. There are plenty of tables and chairs here...”
Lu Ming waved his hand, telling them to sit down, while he and Big Yellow sat by the window.
Seeing how stiff and formal Diao San and the others were being, Lu Ming was speechless.
“Eat! Why are you being so polite? We paid for all of this.”
With that, Lu Ming picked up a spirit fruit from the table and took a bite.
“Woof, woof!!”
Big Yellow nodded in agreement, grabbed a spirit fruit, and tossed it straight into its mouth.
Only then did Diao San, Erniu, and the others pick up the spirit fruits on their tables and start munching on them.
For a moment, the entire room was filled with loud crunching sounds. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were having a family feast.
Lu Ming was happily eating his spirit fruit when his brow suddenly twitched. He felt as though someone was staring at him.
Looking up, he saw a stunning woman in a red dress sitting in the opposite window booth. Her breasts were as tall as the peaks of the Qingshan Sect, and she was staring at him with seductive eyes.
Lu Ming's breath hitched. Good heavens, is my protagonist's luck with women finally starting?
This woman must have fallen in love with me at first sight, drawn in by my unique aura.
Lu Ming quickly straightened his clothes and responded with what he believed to be his most handsome smile.
If anyone had seen Lu Ming's smile at that moment, they would have definitely told him, Please, stop smiling. It's too fucking terrifying.
Lu Ming smiled at her, but she didn't react at all.
Huh? What's going on?
Then, he remembered the makeup on his face—the pale white face and the dark panda eyes. Did I scare her? No, that's not right. Even if I scared her, she should still have some sort of reaction!
Lu Ming looked at her again, and only then did he realize she wasn't looking at him at all. She was looking at Big Yellow beside him.
What the fuck... What is this?
Struck like a bolt from the blue, Lu Ming instantly felt that the spirit fruit was no longer sweet, and the VIP room no longer felt grand.
Am I really less charming than Big Yellow?
Lu Ming couldn't help but question his life choices.
He turned to look at Big Yellow, only to see it sitting upright on its chair with a serious expression, watching the people entering below. It was completely oblivious to the beautiful woman's gaze.
No, wait, Lu Ming suddenly noticed something else. The gaze directed at him hadn't actually disappeared. Following the direction of the gaze, his eyes drifted to the right of the beautiful woman's room.
“Ugh! ...”
Lu Ming barely held back his vomit. In the window of the room diagonally opposite them sat a man.
The man wore a loose green robe embroidered with gold, his collar wide open to reveal a pale, deathly white neck. Tied crookedly around it was a bright pink ribbon.
His face was deathly pale, featuring tiny, beady eyes and a mouth that stretched almost to his ears, revealing two rows of crooked, yellow-and-black teeth.
Seeing Lu Ming look over, the man waved a silk handkerchief with fingers painted in crimson nail polish.
“Blech... Blech...”
Lu Ming really couldn't hold it in anymore and threw up.
Whoosh!
“Protect the Great Sect Master and the Second Sect Master!”
The moment Lu Ming began to retch, Diao San immediately summoned his weapon, and his group surrounded Lu Ming and Big Yellow. He quickly shut the window as well.
“Woof, woof!?”
Big Yellow, who had been happily counting heads below, was startled by Lu Ming's sudden reaction: Boss, what's wrong with you? Are you expecting? Whose is it?
“Great Sect Master, is this spirit fruit poisoned?” Diao San asked anxiously. After all, the Great Sect Master had only started vomiting after eating the spirit fruit.
“Woof, woof!?”
Hearing Diao San suggest the spirit fruit was poisoned rather than his boss being pregnant, Big Yellow felt a twinge of disappointment, but immediately bared its teeth in anger.
It was about to go pick a fight with the Blood Fiend Tower. As for whether it could win, that wasn't something Big Yellow concerned itself with; it only cared about fighting.
Erniu also gripped his large axe, ready to lead the others to lay down their lives alongside Big Yellow.
“I'm fine, I'm fine...” Lu Ming quickly calmed them down, feeling helpless at how hot-headed these guys were. “I'm really fine, really...”
“Huh?” Diao San looked at Lu Ming in confusion. “But you threw up!”
“I was just disgusted by a creep across the way.”
Hearing this, Diao San curiously peeked through the gap in the window. Just what kind of person could look so hideous that they made someone throw up?
Huh?
Diao San's brow furrowed. He couldn't help but question the Great Sect Master's taste. They aren't a creep! She's actually quite beautiful.
Seeing Diao San's reaction, Lu Ming corrected him: “Diagonally opposite.”
“Blech! ...”
Diao San instantly pulled his head back and really couldn't hold it in, throwing up as well.
Seeing Diao San's state, everyone else couldn't resist peeking through the gap.
“Blech...”
“Cough, cough...”
