Chapter 163 Meeting The City Lord
"What are you doing here, Hu Jing? I thought I explicitly said that no one was supposed to disturb me?" a sweet voice interrupted Liu Feng's plane of thought.
Hu Jing involuntarily trembled and kneeled down on the ground.
"Forgive me, City Lord, but this was an important issue that could not be delayed any further." Hu Jing said.
"What is this important matter? And you better have a very good answer, or I am going to show my fury!" the sweet voice showed a hint of irritation.
"This boy here, he says that he came from the Stairway of the heavens. And he has control over the Yuan Principle. There is a chance that he will be able to open the Yuan Mountain, and we will be able to leave this city for the first time!" Hu Jing said with sparkling eyes.
Creak!
The door that stood in front of Liu Feng and Hu Jing opened, and a bright light shone upon them. Liu Feng squinted at the light, while Hu Jing was unmoving.
"Come in. This is going to be interesting. Hu Jing, you can stay there." the city lord said.
Liu Feng looked at Hu Jing, and at the bright entrance where he was supposed to go inside. He was obviously very worried.
But nevertheless, he had no choice. Clenching his fists, he entered the room.
The bright entrance aside, the rest of the room was like a cultivation room. And the mana density was something that Liu Feng had never seen before.
He could feel the Qi just entering his spiritual root, and then going to his dantian. The size of the stream might have enlarged to a river by now.
The Qi was forming mist, and some of it was even liquidating, forming small droplets here and there.
"This is heaven..." Liu Feng mumbled.
"So you are the boy that can use the Yuan principle. You are very weak for someone who climbed the Staircase of the heavens. I wonder why you are still stuck in the Silver realm though." the city lord spoke.
Liu Feng looked at the city lord, who was at the center of the room.
His mind went blank once he laid eyes on her.
She was on a bed, and was in the meditative pose, but her eyes were open. And those eyes captivated him. He could lose himself in her eyes.
If Hu Jing was a city toppling beauty, then this city lord was a kingdom toppling one. And she looked young! Unnaturally young. Like she was just as young as Liu Feng himself.
"I was not fortunate to have been blessed with as many resources as you. I have never had a cultivation room until a few months ago, and I am sure that given a few months in this paradise, I am sure that I can get to the next realm. What is it, gold?" Liu Feng said.
"You are very confident, boy." the city lord smiled.
"Why call me boy, when you don't look that much older than me." Liu Feng countered.
"Don't use that tone on me. With just a wave of my hand, you will be ripped apart into shreds." the city lord said coldly.
"I am sick of this. Like I am not able to control my own fate. Everywhere I see, people call me weak. And whatever I try to do, I have the chance of facing death. But do you realize that when my chances are like that, I can choose one that is detrimental to you? I can help you out. I can open the Yuan mountain. But I want to do it after three months. Not immediately. From what I think, you have been stuck here for more than a generation? Three months will not be a lot to you guys. But for me, I think that I will be able to enter the Nascent Soul realm, and I will have a chance at surviving the expedition that you want me to go on." Liu Feng said resolutely.
"Fine. Fine. We can wait three months. You want to cultivate for another three months? Go ahead. I will not stop you. But when the time comes, you shall honor your promise. You will enter the Yuan Mountain with us, and we will leave this godforsaken place." the city lord said with a cold voice.
"I am risking my life for you guys. Don't you think that I deserve to know your name?" Liu Feng smiled at this point.
"You don't. Hu Jing! Take this man and give him a cultivation room. Give him a few spirit stones. The mid ranked ones. Let us see how he gets to the gold realm. I will also see if he can show us a heaven defying cultivation speed." the city lord said.
Liu Feng still didn't know who she was. She was the only one after his own master, Li Tian, that the Mind eye did not show the name for. She was so strong that the mind eye could not get any information from her!
Liu Feng nodded at the city lord and turned back to return to Hu Jing.
"I will be waiting, exactly three months later. And whether or not you are in the gold realm, you will be coming with me and the rest of the city. Do you understand that?" she said once again.
"Don't worry. I have confidence in myself. I may not be as strong as you, but I sure as hell perform great under pressure." Liu Feng grinned.
He walked to Hu Jing.
"I need to get a cultivation room now?" he asked politely.
"What did you say to her inside, that made her so angry? She almost never gets this angry." Hu Jing asked.
"Well, I put forward a proposition. Maybe she didn't like how I put it forward?" Liu Feng shrugged.
