Chapter 581 - Having Wind, Frost, Rain, and Dew as Sources of Nutrition

“Hey, it is a presidential suite. The person is so generous,” Flaming Qilin pushed open a door and said with a strange smile.

“The people who dare to slight Chu the Devil are courting death, aren’t they?” Suddenly, a voice came from inside the room.

Because it was a suite, hearing a sound from it, Flaming Qilin immediately became alert and strode in. When seeing the person inside, he was stunned and said, “Oh my god, why are you here?”

Chu Xun was suspicious and followed him in. When seeing the person inside, he was also slightly stunned. “Qiu Yunping?”

“Brother Chu,” Qiu Yunping cupped his fists.

“Did you book the room? And you’re Jun Mowen, aren’t you?” Chu Xun asked with a smile.

Qiu Yunping nodded with a smile, and said, “You’re right. Jun Mowen is me. How do you feel? Are you surprised?”

“I am not surprised at all. I was thinking who was trying to be mysterious, but it turns out the person is you,” Flaming Qilin scolded with a smile.

They were all old acquaintances. They had known each other since they found the Elf race. Besides, Qiu Yunping had attended the wedding ceremony of Chu Xun.

Qiu Yunping was not angry. He stepped forward, patted Flaming Qilin on his shoulder affectionately, and gave him a thumbs-up sign. “You are so great that you bring the Sacred Maiden of the Elf race with you.”

“Of course I am. If I want, I can handle anything.” Flaming Qilin was immensely proud of himself.

Su Wei’er was also familiar with Qiu Yunping. His words made her feel embarrassed. She sneaked out with Flaming Qilin.

Chu Xun introduced Mengdie to Qiu Yunping.

Qiu Yunping looked at Mengdie and secretly gave Chu Xun a thumbs-up sign with a sinister smile.

Chu Xun was shocked and blurted out, “Mengdie, don’t…”

Boom!

Qiu Yunping flew backward directly and hit the wall. Fortunately, Mengdie was kind-hearted and didn’t hurt him.

“Chu Xun, what do you want to say?” Mengdie tilted her head and said curiously, “Hadn’t you said that those who smile like this are not good people? I can beat them up.”

“Er…” Chu Xun felt a headache, not knowing how to explain to her. “Please put him down first. He is our friend and was joking just now.”

Mengdie nodded with not fully understanding and then drew Qiu Yunping through the air.

Qiu Yunping was shocked. He looked at Mengdie in fear, and then looked at Chu Xun.

“I’m sorry, Brother Qiu,” Chu Xun said awkwardly.

“It’s okay,” Qiu Yunping was astounded. In that instant, Mengdie suppressed his cultivation, confined the space around him, and made him unable to resist at all.

“Brother Qiu, don’t speak nonsense anymore. It is the fate of those with despicable words,” Flaming Qilin teased.

“Your words sound as if you have never been beaten,” Chu Xun’s words made Flaming Qilin speechless. He was the first person given a lesson by Mengdie.

Knowing that Flaming Qilin had also been beaten, Qiu Yunping felt much better and winked at him.

After everyone was seated, Chu Xun asked Qiu Yunping, “Why are you here?”

“We are in the territory of my Shadowless Sect.”

Chu Xun felt a little embarrassed. He remembered that Qiu Yunping had told him about it, but he had forgotten about it. What he was most concerned about was the Shengyang Flower. “Brother Qiu, the message about the Shengyang Flower is true, isn’t it?”

Qiu Yunping said seriously, “The message about Shengyang Flower is true.”

On hearing the words, Chu Xun breathed a sigh of relief. “It is not an excuse of Qiu Yunping for tricking us into Shadowless City.”

“Brother Chu, in fact, I need your help,” Qiu Yunping said with a serious expression.

Chu Xun had a hunch that Qiu Yunping must need his help.

“I know you brat has nothing good. You were mysterious and even ordered rooms for us,” Flaming Qilin muttered.

Having known Flaming Qilin for a long time, Qiu Yunping knew that he was wild, unruly, and didn’t pay much attention to his own words.

“What happened?” Chu Xun asked.

Qiu Yunping said, “To put it bluntly, it is about Xihe Auction House. It used to be a small one, but in the past few months, it suddenly began to expand. It took over the other auction houses in Shadowless City and became the most powerful one. I sent some disciples to investigate its background secretly, but they turned out to be either dead or missing. I can’t figure out its background clearly.”

“Do you think it will affect your Shadowless Sect?” Chu Xun asked.

Qiu Yunping said, “It has affected my sect. In the past, Shadowless City was guarded by my Shadowless Sect. But now, the Xihe Auction House occupied the territory within several miles around it. The people of the Shadowless Sect can’t enter the territory at all.”

Chu Xun nodded to show that he understood. Because of the frame, Xihe Auction House wanted to replace the Shadowless Sect.

“Haven’t you found out anything?” Flaming Qilin said, “The people of Xihe Auction House didn’t kill anyone, nor did they set a fire. If they fight for the territory with your Shadowless Sect, it is just a grudge between you. Chu the Devil can’t intervene in it, can he?”

Qiu Yunping said, “If it’s just a matter of territory, even if my Shadowless Sect will be replaced, it’s due to my incapability. I will not complain about it. But… you’d better see it yourselves.”

Qiu Yunping took out a pad and handed it to Chu Xun. Flaming Qilin also came over curiously. They saw a short video.

“A Subterranean Devil Army,” Flaming Qilin exclaimed after watching it.

“Yes, it is very similar to the Subterranean Devil Army we saw in the Elf race. A disciple of the Shadowless Sect risked his life recording the video, in Xihe Auction House,” Qiu Yunping said.

Chu Xun did not speak and narrowed his eyes slightly. Ordinary people could not be able to create a Subterranean Devil Army. He guessed his old rival Mo Yan was in Shadowless City, too. He sighed that the world was small. He was trying to find Mo Yan but did not expect to meet him here.

“I will deal with it,” Chu Xun said.

“Thank you, Brother Chu.” Qiu Yunping was overjoyed. That Chu Xun was willing to help him made him feel relieved.

“Brother Chu, when do you plan to start the investigation? If you need me to do anything, please just let me know,” Qiu Yunping said.

“I do have something to trouble you.” Before Chu Xun spoke, Flaming Qilin looked at Qiu Yunping seriously and said, “Having walked for a long time, we are hungry. Can you prepare some food for us?”

Qiu Yunping smiled bitterly. When looking at Flaming Qilin’s serious expression, he thought he had something important. But it turned out that he was just a bit hungry.

“Brother Chu, are you going to eat in the room or go to the restaurant downstairs?”

“Please bring the food up. I don’t want to go down.” Flaming Qilin was the first to utter words.

Chu Xun nodded, indicating that he had no objection.

Qiu Yunping made a phone call, gave some instructions, and asked someone to send some dishes to the room.

“Brother Qiu, when is the auction?” Chu Xun asked.

“Three days later.”

“Okay, let’s go to Xihe Auction House in three days.” Chu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly. Anyway, he must get the Shengyang Flower.

It did not take long for the waiter to bring up the dishes. They were all delicacies.

Flaming Qilin patted Qiu Yunping on his shoulder and praised. “Old Qiu, you’re wise.”

Qiu Yunping laughed. If a meal could satisfy Flaming Qilin, he felt like making a big profit.

“Would you like some wine?” Qiu Yunping asked.

Flaming Qilin shook his head. “No, it’s a pure waste for us to drink wine. Sometimes I envy ordinary people very much. We can drink but are difficult to get drunk.”

Chu Xun teased, “Do you forget that you and Wushuang got drunk, made a mess in the hotel where the people of the Chamber of Lead-Glass lived, and then destroyed the whole building?”

“Really? Please tell me the details, Brother Chu. I am happy about that.” Qiu Yunping’s eyes lit up.

“Chu the Devil, if you dare to say that, I will break off all ties with you,” Flaming Qilin threatened.

Chu Xun was not threatened at all. Knowing Flaming Qilin’s character, He was not afraid of the words. He immediately told Qiu Yunping everything about Flaming Qilin’s disgrace and added details to it.

Qiu Yunping was first dumbstruck, then burst out laughing. He patted Flaming Qilin on the shoulder and said, “You are so awesome. I respect you so much. Only you can do such a thing. You, an expert at the Immortal Level, got drunk. Haha…”

“What are you laughing at?” Flaming Qilin was a bit embarrassed.

Mengdie picked up some food from a dish on the table curiously, put it into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and then spatted it out.

Qiu Yunping was a little embarrassed and said to Mengdie, “Doesn’t it suit your taste?”

Mengdie shook her head. “It tastes not good.”

Qiu Yunping felt a little embarrassed. In the territory of his Shadowless Sect, the dishes used to entertain his guests did not suit their taste. It was a little embarrassing.

“I’ll have someone change the dishes.”

Chu Xun stopped him and said with a smile, “Brother Qiu, don’t bother. I think the dishes are good. Mengdie has no appetite, so she said that.”

In fact, Mengdie has a Spiritual Body. She could have wind, frost, rain, and dew as sources of nutrition. The human dishes were not attractive to her at all. She probably ate them out of curiosity.

“Brother Chu, Qilin, Shadowless City is the liveliest at night. After the meal, I’ll show you around.” Qiu Yunping was experienced and had a quick brain. Since Mengdie did not like these dishes, he would please her in another way.

“OK, I haven’t relaxed for a long time,” Flaming Qilin cried out.

Chu Xun nodded slightly and accepted Qiu Yunping’s kindness.

After the meal, the four followed Qiu Yunping to an artificial lake with bright lights around. The roadside was full of mobile stalls. It was very lively.

Mengdie was like a curious child. She was curious about everything, such as the sugarcoated haws in her hand. She didn’t eat them and thought they were beautiful. The windmill in her hand was fun for her.

Chu Xun was not short of money. He would buy everything Mengdie liked.

Su Wei’er was also curious. It was her first time to come to the outside world, so she was curious about everything. Flaming Qilin was generous to her. They didn’t lack money at all.

Flaming Qilin smirked. He wanted Su Wei’er to be attracted by the outside world, never thinking of going back to the Elf race.

Chu Xun had not relaxed for a long time. He had been fighting all over the world all these years and had no time to relax. He took the opportunity to relax.

“Damn it, when can I live a normal life?” Flaming Qilin mumbled.

Most of the people around them were ordinary citizens. Even if they wanted to buy snacks, they would have to haggle over it. It was also a form of entertainment. They might not be wealthy, but they could live a fulfilling life.

Chu Xun knew that he couldn’t live such a life for hundreds or thousands of years. If he didn’t deal with the Assembly of Immortals, alien races, and Subterranean Devils Clan, they would never settle down.
