For as rance could remember, their country had never been invaded The castle walls of the capital, which were full of vines and in a state of disrepair, were proof of this

There weren’tin the city; shi+li Molo seemed to not have lied The entire population of the country ae was that Gu Shenwei noticed, while observing fro on the streets of the city seemed to attach much importance to their waist sashes The beauty of theirs was comparable to that of the 10 tribal chiefs who he had ly dissimilar from the simple waist sashes that the women at the riverside wore

From the perspective of a killer, the interior layout of the city was a paradise for assassins Its streets were narrow and winding, and there was luxuriant vegetation growing everywhere The entire city seemed to be cloaked with a colorful cape and it would be easy to hide an army of a few hundred people inside it

Gu Shenwei did not notice anyone carrying weapons openly in the city In fact, he had not even seen any athletic looking males in the city but his suspicious nature kicked in He continued observing the city from the shadows for a short while and quickly returned to his camp

“The women at the river are either poor or forced to take part in the trysts However, the first theory looks plausible on paper, but it doesn’t make sense that they don’t accept payment for their ‘services’ It could be the second theory, as they are unwilling to dress up or simply want to avoid detection If it were so, then why do the nfood and water for 2000 people is no sht

The doubts kept growing in hiswith Tuo Nengya for a discussion

The others did not think that there was any conspiracy and focused more of their attention as to whether the romantic encounters were moral or not They were a little embarrassed about their actions as they had tried kept the trysts a secret fro until nohen he found out about theuess it’s part of the local custo from the fewer nu Xiaoshi+, the chief of Danduo Peak He had heard rumors of the trysts much earlier before, but he was not too bothered by the before not because of any particular reason but because… you, Dragon King… this… you’re a little too young for us to be discussing suchchief of Canopy Peak, Long Fanyun, next He was theterribly now It was evident that he had experienced the tenderness of the wo incredibly uneasy as he felt the Dragon King’s gaze fall on hihed a few tih few months for everyone… the people here are not even arer can the woly softer until in the end all that cas

Even Tuo Nengya, as experienced, did not think it was a big deal “Think about it A big group of men ere first trapped in a valley covered in ice and snow, then h the wilderness for months – it’s a miracle that they haven’t rushed into the city and taken the won that they have already tried hard to control their urges If the Dragon King doesn’t like the s to them After which, we should try to leave this place quickly”

“There’s no need for that Maybe I’ve thought tooto theto your respective tents”

Thewas thus dismissed Gradually, Gu Shenwei came to understand why his vieere different frorance, he had spent all his ties, whereas the swordsmen and machete men had daily interactions with the residents of the city which was their source of food As such, they had got used to the cultured and refined natives and naturally would be unwary of the too harsh without clear evidence backing up his theory As such, he did not suain Instead, he requested for Shangguan Hong to come – he wanted to find out what thewas not in the least bashful He openly ad part of the trysts, “I didn’t start it Half of the ca up for a try”

He offered a simple explanation as to the motives of the wo er than that of the noble wo in h men Of course ould be attractive to the ladies”

All of the soldiers believed the locals eak and har, as usually timid and had an inferiority complex, was full of confidence now

“They didn’t want anything? And they didn’t make any request either?”, questioned Gu Shenwei He still could not believe it Even though the theory that the wo as per their local customs could explain away many of his doubts, he was still pretty sure it was ain so carefully re-collected his adventures for a while before replying, “No Actually… hehe… we didn’t spend too , Shangguan Fei was the only other person who felt that there was so for the Dragon King after Shangguan Hong had left – he had so fishy I on King To be honest, it’s notit either If she wasn’t forced to do it, I ht as well be blind”

With this, Gu Shenwei sneaked into the capital of the Land of Fragrance for the second tience This ti from the river

The woman parted ith the swords after she thought there was nobody else around her She walked with her head looking down and there was not even a little bit of joy in her expression Shangguan Fei was spot on This wo on her own accord Further to undertake

Only Shangguan Fei, as also an unwilling participant in the trysts, could have noticed this All of the other men were blinded by their exciteate but took the long way around instead and went into the southern part of the city fro and going from the same spot as the woman did, and Gu Shenaited till it was dark before sneaking into the capital

There was flora growing all over the Land of Fragrance except this corner of the city It was full of crude and simply built houses The division of wealth in this country was as similar to that of Jade City, where the rich stayed in North City while the poor squeezed themselves into South City

It was extremely crowded in the area of the poor in South City Gu Shenwei roughly estimated that there were four to five thousand people there Evidently, when shi+li Molo claimed that the population of this country did not even amount to 6000 citizens, he had not included these people in his calculations

Gu Shenwei still decided not to travel too deep inside the city He secretly went around South City before returning to his camp

He had previously sent out scouts in the east and north directions and he decided to send out other reconnaissance teams in the directions as well He wanted to find out howfrom him

When he arrived back at his tent, so been summoned

The person was not a warrior under his coe’ as well

She was an extremely beautiful woently at him She only had an extre hair, which hung down to her waist, was the only thing on her that could serve to cover her up

They were not in thetoquarters As there were tiy in privacy to fight off the chills in his body, he forbade anyone else to enter, even when there was nothing wrong with him

Someone from his inner circle had sent one of the women at the river side to him in a bid to remove his suspicions

The woentle and intimate voice It did not e; if one were aat

Even so, she explained herself further Her hands brushed her thin dress over her shoulders and it cascaded slowly down her body to the ground, lying in a pile at her feet

Since she was so direct, Gu Shenwei did not wish to beat around the bush as well –

He slowly drew the Five Peaks Saber, purposely grinding the blade on the inner walls of its scabbard, creating a slight but piercing sound
