Chapter 184: Challange

"Please leave, individuals are not allowed to enter. Please come back with your traveling group if you want to enter the city," the guard's voice was a little cold when he said those words.Not just the guards, the eyes of other individuals also flashed with slight coldness.

David suddenly felt as if he had been surrounded by a pack of wolves. It appeared the cultivators who traveled alone weren't looked upon favorably.

"Hmm! Move to the side, where do these ignorant guys..."

A young man who was patiently waiting suddenly shouted from behind after hearing the guards' words. However, he couldn't finish his words, as the young man felt someone tugging the corner of his shirt.

His younger brother was looking at his face with a strange expression on his face.

Taken aback, the young man immediately shut up, judging by the look his younger brother was giving him, he had definitely done something wrong.

Immediately, a sheepish smile appeared on the young man's face and he hurriedly bowed in David's direction.

Of course, David wasn't petty enough to care about such a thing. He had already moved back to the end of the line after the guards didn't allow him to enter.

He was unconcerned about those guards, as sooner or later he would enter the city; it was just a matter of time.

Now that he had just arrived, David decided to take a better look at his surroundings. If he wanted, he could use his divine sense to cover the entire city, but that would be too boring.

David felt there was no need for such measures.

Not just him, even Mary didn't seem to care about the recent events and looked unconcerned.

To her, visiting the city wasn't even a priority. She was happy as long as she got to spend time with David.

"Darling! Look at these beautiful Absolute Frost flowers, can you buy one for me?" Mary spoke while pointing her fingers at the roadside stall selling flowers.

'Why don't you buy it yourself!' David rolled his eyes and thought in his heart. Of course, he didn't say those words to her face, it would be too rude.

However, he felt uncomfortable after swallowing these words.

This monstrosity has started to act all cute these days. David even started to regret coming alone with her. Maybe he should have brought the arrogant ducklings along.

All of these were just idle thoughts. David still walked towards the stall selling the flowers, albeit a little begrudgingly.

Mary was already looking at the flowers with an excited expression on her face. Just like a child who had gotten the candy for the first time.

David couldn't understand the reason behind her excitement. She had lived for a very long time, yet she still acted like a little girl.

On second thought, it was also a matter of perspective. For Ancient existences, a thousand years were nothing more than the time it takes to blink an eye.

The old woman selling the flowers beamed, seeing customers walking over. Once she realized it was a couple, her smile widened even more.

Today, she will definitely be able to sell flowers.

Meanwhile, the two brothers had already gotten inside and were staying in an Inn at the outer fringes of the city.

"Brother, you almost got us killed just now."

"When will you learn to control your emotions?"

Frank looked at his elder brother and sighed in his heart, why did he feel like he was the elder brother?

His elder brother Max was too rash and hot-headed.

Seeing his younger brother's expression, Max was embarrassed. He realized the man they encountered must be very strong. S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Was he strong?" Max suddenly asked while scratching the back of his head. He didn't doubt his younger brother's words, after all, they had managed to avoid dangerous situations many times because of Frank's ability.

"The man could have killed you just by breathing," Frank said with a serious expression on his face.

Max, who was patiently waiting for his brother's explanation, almost fell to the ground after hearing those words.

'What do you mean, just by breathing? Do you think I am a weakling? I rank in the top hundred of the Nascent soul ranking.'

Max felt a little aggrieved, but he didn't dare to voice out these words.

Seeing his reaction, Frank suddenly laughed out loud, attracting the eyes of other diners.

"I want all of them," the young woman with green flowing hair announced in a loud tone.

"What are you going to do with all of these flowers?" the old woman looked at David and Mary who were bickering back and forth with a strange expression on her aged face.

Suddenly, there was a sound of loud commotion, and a group suddenly appeared in the distance.

The group consisted of four people, one man and three women. All four of them were good-looking.

In the next moment, the eyes of the women in the group flashed with interest when they saw the flowers.

"Husband, I want those flowers," the green-haired lady announced in a loud tone.

At the green-haired lady's words, the eyes of the other two women also flashed with interest.

"Hahaha! Why not, your wish is my command," the young man who was the husband of these three women loudly announced.

"Old lady, how much for all of these flowers? I want them all," the man took out a pouch filled with spirit and gently placed it in the old lady's hand.

The old lady was overjoyed and hurriedly started to pack all the flowers. Her actions were surprisingly fast, and barely in a few minutes, all the flowers were packed in a large wooden box that was specially designed to keep all the flowers fresh.

After settling the payment, the young man came in front of Mary and performed a graceful bow. His every action seemed to be filled with a strange attractive force that made the heartstrings of the onlookers flutter, and immediately the onlookers looked at him with a favorable light in their eyes.

"The name is Maximus Nautilus, a wanderer who travels the world."

"My heart instantly melted the moment my eyes landed on your figure," Maximus introduced himself in a gentle tone. If it wasn't already obvious, his words seemed to be specially targeted towards Mary.

The three women who were part of Maximus' group cheered when they saw his action.

"Husband is so handsome and domineering."

"It looks like this beautiful sister will join us in our upcoming adventures."

David heard the women's exclamations, and coupled with Maximus' actions, he was greatly amused.

'Did this guy think he is the protagonist of some harem novel?' He couldn't stop himself from thinking, but he wasn't worried about his actions and had no plans of competing with him.

But curious, he decided to look at the guy's status report to see where he got the confidence from.

Immediately, David paid the bank the required spirit stones, and a window displaying his status report popped up in front of him.

[Name - Maximus Nautilus

Age - 80

Potential - S grade

Cultivation - Peak of Nascent Soul realm

Crystallisation of life - Demon of Charm, a Sky King grade Crystallization of life.

Remark - Highly ambitious individuals who plan to conquer the world and establish the strongest empire that the world had ever seen, outwardly rash but he is cautious by nature. Special note - owner of Grade one Heaven Earth Treasure, True Concealment Ring.]

David was surprised after reading through the information, and numerous questions popped in his head.

In the end, he sighed. Truly, you can't judge a book by its cover.

He was fooled by this guy outwardly cultivation, even with his supreme perception, he failed to judge this guy's true strength.

Who could have thought this foolish-looking guy would be a mighty peak Nascent Soul expert? In the end, David shook his head and accepted the error in his judgment: anyone who can travel the world was not someone easy to deal with.

He suddenly became interested and looked forward to this guy's performance.

The onlookers were also attracted by the scene and stopped to watch the show.

The guy at this time looked extremely attractive, one could hardly resist his charm. However, Mary didn't seem entirely unaffected, except that her expression had inexplicably turned completely frosty.

Anyone who looked at her at this time had a chill run down their spine.

"Are you trying to influence me?" Mary spoke in a low voice, her tone sounded even a little playful.

Maximus looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she was trying to say. Inwardly, however, he frowned.

'Impossible! How can she notice it?'

For a moment, Maximus thought he was caught, but in the next moment, he immediately denied it.

Even the Void Refining experts didn't notice it when he used his Crystallization of life, so how could an early Nascent Soul notice it?

Mary's cultivation level was out in the open, as she, unlike David, didn't try to hide it.
