11 9th Stage of Dantian Formation (2/2)
”Sovereign Zhao Lan an expert has arrived within the bounds of the city.”
Author's Note: Not the actual cultivation stage
The woman continue to stare into the distance before standing up to leave.
The City Lord was used to the sovereign's strange and erratic behavior and continued to kneel watching the sovereign fly off into the distance.
The sovereign has a cultivation base of Emperor and would be a greatly respected expert anywhere she went in the Fire Rock Continent, but, strangely, chose to stay in this city as if she were waiting for someone.
”I finally found him.”
A whisper could be heard as the sovereign's lips curved into a genuine loving smile.
Meanwhile, Sanji and Van were flying at fast speeds towards the city.
Van suddenly felt warm inside when he suddenly spotted a figure up ahead.
It seemed to be a woman dressed in a dazzling blue robe that seemed to contain the stars.
While he was mesmerized by the woman, Sanji delightedly squeaked and sped ahead of Van.
Shaking himself out of the trance, Van angrily berated Sanji as he tried to catch up.
The woman tailed after the two a warm smile, with a hint of humor, could be seen in her expression.
They finally reached the wall where there were two guards at the 4th Stage of Body Fortification were posted.
Van had already pulled out a sword to make it look like he was still in Qi Condensation.
”Halt! State your name and provide your identification.”
The guard was a burly man with black hair and a goatee with a generous amount of facial hair.
Van pulled out a jade shop and quickly handed it over to the guards.
He couldn't wait to show off his new cultivation base to his aunt and Ghan.
The Mouse had already hidden away in his sack and was busy eating away at what was left of their supplies.
At that moment, the Sovereign arrived landing on the ground, causing the dust to part from the gravel the road, making it shine.
The Guard's jaws dropped as they watched this goddess descend from the sky.
The younger one was arrogant and new to his job. Swaggering, he took a step forward and stayed with confidence and without much honor.
”Hey, Lady! If you want to get into town, I can get you in for free if you warm my bed.”
The older guard didn't pay attention for only the Upper Echelons of the city would know of the Sovereign's existence.
The lady was about to say something when Van turned around and started to berate the man.
”You shameless corrupt limp dick! All you can do is prey on vulnerable women. I bet even the god of reincarnation would refuse your soul if it was sent his way!”
Both guards stood there stunned as they watched the youth's outburst. The woman put a hand to her mouth as an enchanting laugh escaped her lips and a reminiscent look appeared on her face.
Van then proceeded to beat up the two guards, forcing them to apologize.
”Don't worry! As long as I, the Noble Van Nguyen is here! No one would dare harass you!”
He took a heroic pose, putting one foot on a rock and his arms on his hips.
The Woman had a humored look in her eye as she replied.
”Well, I guess I'll take you up on that offer than.”
While Van continued tell stories of his past acts of ”bravery” and ”honor”, the woman thought to herself.
”I can't tell him yet. It's too early. I need to get close to him and bring his cultivation base up first.”
The guards stood up, wiping the dust off their clothes and rubbing their bruises. They cast looks of fury at Van and vowed to get their revenge by reporting him for assault to the Guard Lieutenant.
Van walked inside the city and continued to talk about his exploits that he had done in the past.
”I have waited 70 years for this. I have finally found him.”
She smiled as Van continued to sell himself to her.
