Chapter 248 Water City

This was the first time Ujina had taken the initiative in her training.

The next seven days.

Chen Yang finally understood that it's not easy to make money from rich women, and it's even harder to make money from queens!

Over the course of seven days, the chieftains of every tribe in the Great Man Kingdom frantically raised spirit stones, eventually collecting a total of 22 spirit stones and delivering them to Chen Yang!

The morning of the eighth day.

Chen Yang sat in the carriage, his lips somewhat pale, while Ujina's complexion was rosy and her skin smooth and hydrated.

She affectionately touched Chen Yang's face and said with a smile, "I suddenly feel like a tyrant! I finally understand those emperors who abandoned their kingdoms for the sake of a beautiful woman. The plays you performed in the Ming Dynasty were indeed full of reason!"

Chen Yang gave a wry smile and asked, "What else do you want to do?"

Ujina blushed and whispered, "I was thinking, even if you wanted more, I'd give you anything, as long as you stay by my side..."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Alright, this is just a passing fancy! Once things settle down, you won't think like this anymore."

"I'm leaving!"

Chen Yang waved to Ujina, then hurriedly left the royal court in his carriage with 22 spirit stones.

This time, he did not ride the golden-armored tiger-headed eagle, but returned along the same route.

Two days later, we arrived at Yangguan City!

At this time, Yangguan City was exceptionally prosperous, and there was no longer any sign of the desolation seen last time!

Inside the city, merchants from the Ming Dynasty and herdsmen from the Manchu Kingdom chatted happily and traded enthusiastically, and the market was packed with people!

The national flag of the Ming Dynasty has been raised over the city. Zhao Hu is in charge, and Nalan Ying assists him. The two work together to manage the entire city in an orderly manner.

As Chen Yang passed through Yangguan City, his mood suddenly brightened: "I never expected this trip to the Great Man Kingdom to end like this! If the two countries can continue to live in peace, that would be a good thing!"

He rode in a carriage through the canyon and continued on his way to Steel City.

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Yang checked his storage ring.

At this moment, he had a total of 40 spirit stones!

Of course, what excited Chen Yang the most was the Golden Silk Thousand-Print Net he obtained from the men in black from the Eastern Island Country!

This Golden Silk Thousand Seal Net is a Xuan-rank spiritual treasure. Chen Yang has also figured out that spiritual treasures are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow, with Yellow being the lowest and Heaven being the strongest!

As for Xuan-rank spiritual treasures, Chen Yang has two, but the only one that can truly be used against enemies is this Golden Thread Thousand Seal Net!

The Enlightenment Tortoise Shell Scripture is also a Xuan-rank spiritual treasure, but it can only be used to increase the speed of comprehension.

As for the War Fog Disc, it is also a Xuan-rank spiritual treasure, but it offers limited help in individual combat.

Chen Yang checked the upgrade requirements for the Golden Silk Thousand Seal Net. Upgrading it from a Profound-Rank to an Earth-Rank spiritual treasure would require 50 spirit stones!

"50 is indeed a lot, but it's absolutely worth it!"

Chen Yang sighed slightly. Although he had earned 22 yuan by selling himself for seven days, it seemed that he was still far from getting enough spirit stones!

Back to Steel City.

On the city wall, Zhou Qing, the "sissy," stood gazing into the distance.

Upon seeing Chen Yang dismount from the carriage, Zhou Qing immediately jumped off the city wall and ran towards him!

Chen Yang nodded slightly to Zhou Qing: "General Zhou."

Zhou Qing was unusually enthusiastic and stepped forward to hug Chen Yang, but Chen Yang quickly pushed her away, saying, "General Zhou, please have some self-respect!"

Zhou Qing wasn't angry. She smiled and said, "Chen Yang, I thought you weren't coming back!"

Chen Yang pouted: "I promised you before I left, how could I not come back?"

Zhou Qing chuckled and pointed in the direction of Yangguan City, saying, "Now that the new queen of the Great Manchu Kingdom has ascended the throne, it has already reconciled with the Great Ming Dynasty! I heard that queen is your Lady Chen?"

Chen Yang said, "She was originally a princess of the Great Manchu Kingdom, but don't worry, there will absolutely be no more problems on the Great Manchu Kingdom's side! For the next few decades, the two countries will be able to coexist peacefully!"

Zhou Qing nodded vigorously, her eyes curving into crescents, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

He grabbed Chen Yang's arm: "Chen Yang, can you come with me to see someone?"

Chen Yang quickly pushed his hand away, feeling annoyed. Was this bastard determined to turn him gay?

"Just talk, don't get physical! You sent me here, what exactly do you want?"

Zhou Qing led Chen Yang to a secluded spot and lowered her voice, saying, "Chen Yang, to be honest, I want to take you to see my sister! She's dying, and she's never seen a man in her life. Her only wish before she passed away was to meet a good man! I can't let her leave with regrets, so I'm asking you to agree..."

Hearing this, Chen Yang was speechless for a moment, and said to Zhou Qing, "Can't you make up something more believable when you lie? Even if your sister lives deep in the mountains, she couldn't have never seen a man in her entire life, could she?"

Zhou Qing glanced at Chen Yang dejectedly: "My sister lives in a place even more secluded than the deepest mountains and forests! Anyway, promise me, I can give you the treasures of our tribe!"

Chen Yang said, "I'm not really into things like 'treasures,' but if you have spirit stones, I might consider it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing immediately held up seven fingers: "Is that enough?"

Chen Yang glanced at the number: "7000? That's acceptable, as long as the distance isn't too far!"

Zhou Qing frowned: "It's not 7000, it's 70!"

Chen Yang was speechless for a moment: "Are you fucking trying to get rid of a beggar?"

Zhou Qing quickly replied, "What I mean is, 70 spirit stones!"

Upon hearing the number, Chen Yang was startled and looked at Zhou Qing in horror: "You...you're telling the truth? Pretty boy, you're not lying to me!"

Zhou Qing nodded: "Why would I lie to you? After my sister passes away, all 70 spirit stones are yours!"

Chen Yang swallowed hard and immediately said, "Alright! It's a deal! 70 spirit stones—I'd agree to anything, even if you tricked me into going to Chengdu, let alone seeing your sister!"

Zhou Qing gave him a strange look: "Why would I lie to you about going to Chengdu? I'm taking you to the Water City!"

Chen Yang went without hesitation this time, not caring at all whether the pretty boy in front of him had bad intentions!

He and Zhou Qing returned to Zhou Qing's general's mansion together. At the very back of the mansion was a secret room with a deep pool of water inside!

Zhou Qing pulled Chen Yang to the water's edge, and then began to take off her long robe!

Seeing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but sigh, "Damn! Sure enough, you were after my body!"

Zhou Qing glared at him speechlessly: "Brother Chen Yang, are you out of your mind? I'm a man too, why would I be interested in your body?"

Chen Yang pointed at him: "If you're not after my body, why are you taking off your clothes?"

Zhou Qing pointed to the pool of water beneath her: "This is the entrance to see my sister! I told you, we live in a water city!"

Chen Yang looked puzzled.

Zhou Qing turned her head and said, "The underwater journey is quite long, and you probably won't be able to hold on, so I've prepared an air tank for you!"

He pointed to a large air bottle in the corner of the room.

Chen Yang immediately waved his hand: "No need, no need! I'm stronger underwater than you think! But I'm getting more and more curious!"

Zhou Qing looked at him questioningly: "Are you sure you don't need it? If so, we should leave now!"

Chen Yang nodded: "Okay!"

Wearing only her inner armor, Zhou Qing jumped into the pool with a "plop"!

In the water, Zhou Qing swam exceptionally fast, her figure like a mermaid, diving dozens of meters in an instant!

However, Chen Yang's Blood Refined Golden Dragon Technique, when cultivated to its ultimate state, is also incredibly powerful in the water!

He followed Zhou Qing's figure, gliding quickly. The two of them slid down into the deep pool for dozens of meters, then entered the moat, and swam along the moat for more than ten kilometers!

By this time, the water had turned slightly salty, indicating that they had clearly reached the ocean!

Chen Yang looked at Zhou Qing in surprise: it was normal for him to swim fast in the water and not need to breathe, but he did not expect that Zhou Qing also did not need to breathe, and her speed in the water was no slower than his!

The two moved extremely fast, darting through the water, heading south and downstream, swimming for more than five hours.

This place is already deep beneath the ocean floor.

It was pitch black and deathly silent all around.

Just as Chen Yang was wondering, light began to appear ahead!

A huge sphere of light appeared not far away.

Zhou Qing swam to the light and gently patted it with her palm. The next moment, the light screen rippled and exploded, and then the two of them entered the light screen together!

Once inside the aperture, Chen Yang was surprised to discover that there really was an underwater city there!

Moreover, you can breathe freely here. All the seawater is blocked outside the light curtain, and only water vapor can penetrate through the light curtain!

Within the aperture, rows of houses made of coral stretch for tens of kilometers, with tens of thousands of homes neatly arranged!

This place is like a small city, with shops, residences, streets, squares, and places to rest, exercise, and practice martial arts!

The only strange thing was that there was no one there!

The city was eerily quiet!

Standing on the bluestone path paved with sea sand, Chen Yang looked around in surprise and asked, "Where am I?"

Zhou Qing said matter-of-factly, "This is the Water City! I already told you!"

"Hurry, hurry to see my sister! I don't know if she's still alive!"

Chen Yang was extremely surprised. He looked at Zhou Qing again and suddenly understood.

Previously, before Wu Gui died, he said that Zhou Qing was not human, but a demon!

Now it seems Wu Gui was right! Zhou Qing really isn't human!

But if he is not human, why can't my Evil-Slaying Thunder Dragon Eye and Concealing Breath Detection Technique see through him?

He clearly looks like an ordinary person!

Filled with doubt, Chen Yang followed Zhou Qing toward an ancient room on the far east side!

Entering the house made of coral and going up to the second floor, Zhou Qing quickly called out, "Sister! Sister! Are you still alive?"

A woman's voice came from inside the room: "You little rascal, how dare you talk like that!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing immediately said, "Sister, I brought a man with me! You should get along with him."

Then a woman's scream came from inside.

Then, less than a minute later, a woman wearing a bright green dress and with two distinctive small horns on her forehead walked out of the room!

She is very beautiful and bears a resemblance to Zhou Qing!

However, since Zhou Qing is a man, his appearance is too glamorous and beautiful, making straight men feel uncomfortable.

The woman before me, however, possessed both delicate beauty and striking charm, pure and captivating!

Her oval face had a sickly blush, her figure was extremely thin, and her eyes had a blue light like the ocean, as if a gust of wind could blow her over!

Upon seeing Chen Yang, the woman quickly bowed slightly and said, "Young master, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect my sister to actually bring you! My name is Zhou Fen, please have a seat!"
