The Journey of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 592 - 338: Miluo’s Territory2

In the tumultuous, chaotic world, how difficult is this?

Changtian coldly said, "There’s nothing strange about that. The cities under the governance of Fengtian Prefecture have large populations. The lives of mortals in this world are like ants; to live more securely, they flock to the cities governed by the large Immortal Sects. It’s like leaning on a big tree for shade; the stronger the Immortal Sect or Demon Sect, the more populous their cities are."

She chuckled and asked, "So, does that an Chiming City is also under Fengtian Prefecture’s control?"

He answered in a deep voice.

Ning Xiaoxian giggled, "In that case, we must definitely eat Mr. Miluo out of house and ho this ti! Tu Jin, Qi Zai, you both have to work hard."

A city with a population of over a million, everyone seems to be bustling about. Luckily, Miluo had already given her his address, so Ning Xiaoxian headed east as soon as she entered the city.

The main thoroughfare of the city was surprisingly shaped like the character "米" (rice). East is held in high esteem, and those residing in the Eastern District are either wealthy or noble. Chiming City is under the jurisdiction of a Demon Sect, so many Great Demons naturally disdain the idea of living with mortals. Chiming City is one of the oldest cities in the Southern Continent, with a history spanning over thirteen thousand years. Since its foundation, it has only been scourged by war twice, and because of its remote location, it luckily survived the Middle Ages War that occurred ten thousand years ago.

Thus, the architecture of the city is odd and varied, combining both the rough grandeur of the Middle Ages with the delicate charm of Central Earth’s rich and powerful houses. A large amount of housing fuses both styles, creating a unique architectural feature to Chiming City: majestic exteriors and intricately elaborate details. Ning Xiaoxian even saw windows and roofs made of glaze for the first ti.

The colors of the glaze were primarily purple, green, red, and blue, adding splashes of vivid color to the architecture and bringing out liveliness within the dignity, like colors out of a dream. "This city, is really beautiful," she murmured.

But she also understood that by stepping into the Eastern District, the city was showing its best side to her. Should she go to other areas, it might not be so magnificent. A city always has its brightest and darkest sides; after all, slums are the best reflection of a city’s conscience.

However, with all the buildings so luxurious here, how was she supposed to find Miluo’s residence? There are no house numbers!

Luckily, after a while, she quickly spotted the "vermillion gate with a pair of glass palace lanterns hanging beneath the eaves" as ntioned in the ssage, and it was not because Miluo’s residence stood out for its grandeur, but rather for its modesty.

Amongst a stretch of lavish households, a small vermillion gate that could only allow three people to pass side by side seed rather plain and inconspicuous here, despite the lifelike engravings of a pair of clams holding the door knocker. However, despite its simplicity, its location was too good to go unnoticed.

This man always likes to surprise others. Ning Xiaoxian rolled her eyes and stepped forward to knock, but Changtian said, "Hold on!"

Before her fair fingers could touch it, the Purple Gold Bronze clams holding the door knocker on the gate suddenly opened their mouths, and a loud boom emanated from within: "Who goes there?"

The door knocker suddenly speaks! She was startled; what kind of demon was this?

Qi Zai suddenly said, "I know this! It’s said that the Jiao Tu, the Dragon’s fifth son, loves to lay on the door knocker, which can protect and dispel evil spirits from the ho when hung on the gate. But this is my first ti seeing a real Jiao Tu!"

Changtian said, "With it as the guardian, without the hoowner’s permission, no one can enter. It is more useful than any Array Barrier."

While they were discussing, Ning Xiaoxian had already clearly spoken, "My surna is Ning, I am a distinguished guest of the hoowner, please announce my arrival!" She had quite the audacity to view this auspicious beast guarding the ho as if it were a child guarding the gate!

The auspicious beast Jiao Tu did not get angry but fell silent, probably speaking with soone in the house. Then, it grinned at her, not uttering a sound, and the vermillion gate creaked open!

A screen t her face to face. Passing around it, she entered a small front courtyard paved with blue stone slabs, spotlessly clean, with flowers in the garden bright and colorful, a grand aging broad-leaved tree soaring into the sky, and in a corner of the yard lay a ceramic jar collecting "Rootless Water" from the open sky, seemingly filled from recent rains.

This courtyard felt more like a study than a mansion, even the houses within just looked pleasantly refined. The display of ostentation from the vermillion gates seed to be blocked by the doors, leaving only a tranquil quiet inside.

This place, it really is where a great monster like Miluo lives?

There was no doubt about this, as a figure in black clothes flashed from behind the yard. Miluo, all smiles, ca out to greet her, "What joy it is to have friends co from afar!" She had seen him a few tis, and if he wasn’t wearing his bright red robe, it would be a magnificent outfit; he has never worn such a simple attire before. But draped in black, it didn’t detract from his charm. Compared to Changtian, who was also in black, it oddly made her think of an altogether inappropriate phrase: "Each displaying their own brilliance."

Miluo, of course, didn’t know what she was thinking and sized her up a few tis and said, "You dare to just waltz into my territory; you’ve got quite the nerve." Behind her, there was clearly Tu Jin of the Mahayana Realm, yet Miluo elegantly ignored him.

Ning Xiaoxian tugged the corners of her mouth and said, "Mr. Miluo is famously trustworthy, and his spoken word is as irreversible as water spilled; what have I to fear?" Her gaze towards him was clearly indifferent, but she still addressed him in such a teasing way, causing Miluo to suddenly feel an itch in his teeth.

"Did you find your way here alright?" he asked, leading the way. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to co to Qidian (qidian) and cast your recomndation ticket and Monthly Ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
