Chapter 154 Needle at the Bottom of the Heart
The welcome banquet at Tianjiao City was, undoubtedly, a grand affair.
Li Muyang, the country bumpkin, attended such a high-profile banquet for the first time and vividly felt the disparities in life.
The supply of Spiritual Wine, worth a common man's annual consumption, was plentiful.
The dishes served by the maids, were each a delicacy from mountains and seas.
The value of this table of food, if converted to currency from his previous life on Earth, would be akin to drinking famous wines costing tens of thousands per bottle, with a table full of luxury ingredients like Australian lobster, Wagyu beef, bird's nests, and shark fins.
The taste might not be amazing, but the ingredients were definitely premium.
And this was just the side hall for welcoming the Inner Sect Disciples in white robes, Yu Chan couldn't even imagine how high the standard of the main hall where Yan Xiaoru and others dined was.
"Brother, they're so rich here..."
Li Yuechan said in a low voice from the corner, astounded by the luxury of the banquet.
The siblings sat in the corner, their chopsticks hardly stopping. They didn't talk much, but they certainly ate a lot.
Li Muyang also nodded, feeling a connection to this experience.
"The richest person in Jiuyuan City would be considered just a country rich man here."
The siblings quietly discussed their limited experience, completely astonished by the wealth and grandeur of Tianjiao City.
This banquet lasted a long time, with a constant supply of rare ingredients and dishes being served, making the siblings thoroughly enjoy themselves.
As for the topics of the banquet, they hardly participated, merely blending in.
The banquet went on till midnight, after which people gradually left.
The residence for Li Muyang's group of Inner Sect Disciples was arranged within this mansion.
The disciples rested nearby, each having a room with two maids to attend to them.
"The life of the rich is indeed corrupt and extravagant..."
Li Muyang remarked with a sigh.
Although such treatment was not unusual for an Inner Sect Disciple,
it was still a new and strikingly lavish experience for Li Muyang.
Two young and beautiful maids serving him with water to wash his feet even shyly hinted with expectation that they could serve him in bed.
However, Li Muyang pretended not to understand the underlying meaning of their words and dismissed the maids after washing his feet.
He had no interest in women who were after money and fame; he would rather play video games.
After locking the door, Li Muyang lay on the bed and launched the system.
"The Game with the Fairies," begin!
The level at Purple Immortal Stronghold was quite challenging.
The villagers there were all possessed, perpetrating killings in increasingly bizarre and cunning ways.
Thus, a day passed by quite leisurely.
Seeing that it had grown dark, Li Muyang prepared to return to his lodgings to sleep and continue playing "The Game with the Fairies".
Tianjiao City was indeed bustling and lively, having seen it for a day had broadened his horizons.
It was time to return and continue the game.
Under the night sky, Li Muyang hummed a cheerful tune.
"Irresolvable gazes, my heart as needles at sea bottoms~"
"Just guesses, leave me without an appetite~"
The cold moonlight fell upon Li Muyang.
The crowded streets, unknown to him, had turned deserted.
Ahead, the wide avenue was empty, not a single person in sight.
Seeing this, Li Muyang instinctively stopped in his tracks.
"Hmm?"
Li Muyang's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately became alert.
Such a lively city as Tianjiao City, even at night, would remain vibrant.
Yet the street before him was devoid of human figures...
Li Muyang slowly turned his head and found the street behind him equally void of people.
He did not know when he had entered such a deathly silent and deserted street.
One could surmise using a knee that something was amiss.
Li Muyang stood slightly stiffly on the spot, not fleeing immediately.
Whoever had led him into this secluded street without a sound had a cultivation far superior to his.
Li Muyang slowly said, "Which senior is here? Why not show yourself?"
I've just arrived in Tianjiao City, I couldn't have offended a master!
Could it be Qin Haie's family?
But Qin Haie's family couldn't possibly know that it was Li Muyang causing trouble in secret...
Li Muyang's mind raced, scanning his surroundings with a frown.
In the gloomy street, a silent shadow suddenly appeared.
She stood there quietly, her face masked, concealing her features.
Only a disguised voice rose under the moonlight.
"Are you Li Muyang of the Refinement Demon Sect?"
