Aaron City was more like the ancient city walls Ning Cheng had seen on film and television. Although the walls had become dark brown due to the patina of age, one could vaguely see that the majestic walls were once all made of huge green stones.
The gates are immensely wide, with three huge doorways in all. The middle gate is three feet wide, while the doorways on either side are nearly two feet wide.
About to enter the city, Ma Ang led Ning Cheng out of the beast carriage. Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie, who had each changed into a set of normal clothes, also got out of the beast carriage and stood beside Ning Cheng.
Ma Ang pointed to the largest gate in the middle and said, “This gate is the gate through which the city lord enters and leaves the city, and the city’s army also enters through here, ordinary people cannot enter or leave through this gate, they can only enter or leave through the two side gates next to it.”
Ning Cheng thought to himself that compared to the real Cultivation Continent, this kind of place was really even more cumbersome. In cultivation places, there was usually one city gate from which anyone entered or left.
Without waiting for Ning Cheng to ask, a sound of beasts’ hooves came, followed by a luxurious caravan speeding out from the main gate in the middle.
Ma Ang hurriedly gave Ning Cheng a tug, “Brother Ning, hurry up and stand to the side, this is the City Lord’s most favored Princess Man going out, don’t rush ……”
Ning Cheng hurriedly took a few steps back while taking a glance. He was amazed to find that this Princess Mann had a greenish crystal dot on her forehead, and he felt a little dizzy just by glancing at this bright spot.
Ning Cheng hurriedly withdrew his gaze and stood to the side with his head lowered.
The hurried beast’s hooves suddenly lightened up and then stopped in front of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng’s heart tightened, he felt that he should not have looked up at this Princess Man just now. But in his heart, he was also thinking, just a glance, there couldn’t be anything wrong, right?
“You have a lot of guts, to dare to look up at me.” Princess Mann’s somewhat icy cold voice rang out in front of Ning Cheng.
When Ma Ang heard this voice, his heart sank. He realised that he had forgotten to tell Ning Cheng one important thing, which was not to use your gaze to peek at anyone from the City Master’s Mansion at any time.
Before Ning Cheng had the chance to defend himself a little, he heard this princess say indifferently, “Drag this person out and beat him to death with a messy stick. Gouge out both eyes.”
Ning Cheng was furious, he had only glanced at him, but this woman was so vicious. To beat him to death, not to mention gouging out his eyes?
“Princess don’t. We have just arrived in Aaron City, we don’t understand many rules, please forgive him this time, the little woman is willing to pray for the princess day and night ……” Xu Yingdie was the first to rush up and bow to beg for mercy.
The first thing you need to do is to get to the bottom of the room.
He certainly did not know that Xu Yingdie, as a disciple of a top clan, would not be able to kneel to someone like Princess Man? To be able to patiently call herself a young woman and call the other party Princess is already a great honor.
“Huh, you still dare to beg for mercy?” Princess Mann saw that Xu Yingdie actually dared to come forward and beg for mercy. She gave a startled eek instead. Immediately afterwards, she said, “Raise your head up.”
Xu Yingdie raised her head and looked at Princess Mann with nervousness in her eyes, and that kind of pitiful look, together with her stunning beauty, resonated with anyone who looked at it.
Princess Mann was no exception. There were many beautiful women in Aaron City, and she herself was also an extremely beautiful woman, but she had never seen a woman as beautiful as Xu Yingdie.
“Are you willing to follow me?” It was only after a while that Princess Mann spoke out and asked, actually not blaming Xu Yingdie for not kneeling down.
Xu Yingdie hurriedly bowed again and said, “I married my husband and followed him, so I can’t serve you before or after I die. Please forgive me, Princess.”
To the crowd’s surprise, Princess Man nodded, “Good, since there is a woman like you who begs for mercy, then let’s spare his life and reward him with three swords and six holes.”
“Ding dang ……” A narrow dagger was thrown out by the guards who had already gathered around. It landed not far away from Ning Cheng.
Although Ning Cheng was angry in his heart, there was nothing he could do, if his cultivation level was restored, he would have thrown a fireball over. This Princess Mann was also too presumptuous and did not take human life seriously.
In fact, he knew in his heart. This was probably the best ending. Only when Ning Cheng did not wait to pick up the dagger, Xu Yingdie had already grabbed it first and raised her hand, the dagger went straight through her shoulder. Fresh blood instantly stirred out, staining half of her body red.
Ning Cheng almost froze, he had never expected Xu Yingdie to do such a thing. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Yingdie’s hand while snatching the dagger away and said, “I told you last time, don’t do this in the future.”
As the words fell, the daggers in Ning Cheng’s hand had already struck twice in quick succession on his left and right shoulders. Together with Xu Yingdie’s one, it was considered to have completed three slashes and six holes.
“Hmph, there’s a bit of sentimentality.” Princess Man snorted coldly and with another whistle, the beast caravan procession quickly disappeared into the distance.
Seeing Ning Cheng’s shoulder stained red with blood, Xu Yingdie surprisingly forgot that her own shoulder was also bleeding, and panicked as she went forward to help Ning Cheng wrap his wound.
“I’m fine, be careful with your wounds.” Ning Cheng had just said this while holding back the pain when he felt his Violet Mansion loosen up and the next moment the Xuanhuang Origin that had been imprisoned for so long actually started to flow.
After being injured, he was blessed by the disaster? Ning Cheng’s heart was even more surprised, so he did not care that he was still outside the city gates, he immediately sat down and channeled his Xuanhuang Origin Qi, trying to impact the Dan Lake that had been sealed off. Once his Dan Lake was opened and true essence flowed in his meridians, he would be able to destroy the entire army of this Aaron City with a single hand, not to mention a princess.
Xu Yingdie could not even care about her own injuries, and she and Yin Kongchan both stepped forward, one on each side, and helped Ning Cheng wrap his wounds.
Ning Cheng pounded for half a day, but the Xuanhuang Qi did not directly break through the confinement of the Dan Lake and the Violet Mansion as he had imagined. However, Ning Cheng panted in his heart instead, it was good to have a start. Now that his Xuanhuang Origin Breath could be felt, one day, he would be able to recover his cultivation.
He had cultivated the Hugging Yang Divine Skill for a month or two without any half effect, but he did not expect that he would have such an immediate effect after stabbing himself twice. It looked like the Xuanhuang Qi could still only explode out in times of crisis.
Seeing Ning Cheng stand up, Ma Ang hurriedly came over and said, “Brother Ning, I didn’t notice this time, I should have warned you not to raise your head. Your luck is really good, if it were an ordinary person, they would have been killed and had their eyes gouged out long ago. It’s rare for Princess Man to be so magnanimous, I should say you have a good wife.”
After saying that, Ma Ang also gave Xu Yingdie a respectful glance. In his opinion, Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan were both Ning Cheng’s women, but Xu Yingdie cared a little more about her husband than Yin Kongchan did.
“This is none of Brother Ma’s business, it’s because I don’t know the rules myself. I want to heal my wounds, so I would also like to ask Brother Ma to help a few of us get the status of commoners and a place to stay.” Ning Cheng hurriedly said.
The Xuanhuang Origin moving was the first important thing for Ning Cheng. He had to find a quiet place to recover his cultivation. Only when he recovered his cultivation would he have the right to speak in this place, and only then could he leave this hellish place.
Ma Ang slapped his chest loudly this time, “Brother Ning, don’t worry, your residence and identity are under my care. I will definitely help you get it done in the shortest possible time, and you will stay in the inn for the next few days.”
Having received Ma Ang’s promise, Ning Cheng put his heart down, the first thing he did was to come to Xu Yingdie and say, “Thank you so much this time, is your injury going to be alright?”
Xu Yingdie smiled gently, “I am fine, you are more injured than me, so you should take care of your body even more.”
After saying that, Xu Yingdie even went forward and carefully held Ning Cheng with the uninjured arm. For the first time, Ning Cheng did not avoid Xu Yingdie, Xu Yingdie’s concern and care for him was not half false, Ning Cheng could truly feel it.
When Yin Kongchan saw Xu Yingdi stepping forward to hold Ning Cheng, she lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
……
Regardless of how much Algae Yuan Tendon Ma Ang had earned this time, Ma Ang at least kept his word, and on the sixth day of Ning Cheng’s trio’s stay at the inn, he helped Ning Cheng’s trio with their settlement status, and at the same time found a small courtyard in a remote part of Aaron City.
With his own place to stay, Ning Cheng immediately began to close his mind, preparing to start with the Xuanhuang Origin, first unlocking his Violet Mansion confinement, and then unlocking his sealed True Essence.
He still had some Clear Water Pills and Cereal Cleansing Pills, and apart from going out to take a bath, he spent most of his time inside his room to impact his Violet Mansion. Even the Clasping Yang Divine Skill Ning Cheng had stopped, mainly because not only was his cultivation of the Clasping Yang Divine Skill ineffective, but it often made him feel like he needed a woman. Even though Ning Cheng had not yet doubted this technique, now that his Xuanhuang Origin had loosened, he did not intend to continue wasting time cultivating the Yang Clasping Divine Technique.
……
A month passed by in an instant, Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie knew that Ning Cheng was cultivating his gongfu and rarely came over to disturb him. This day Ning Cheng’s Purple Mansion surprisingly began to loosen up, and when Ning Cheng’s divine sense was already able to stretch out a meter, Ning Cheng almost shouted out in joy.
As long as his divine sense stretched out a few more metres, he would be able to take out the contents of the ring. With his divine sense in place, to recover his true essence, it was simply a matter of getting twice the effort with half the effort.
On this day, when Ning Cheng’s divine sense had stretched to three metres and the situation was great, Yin Kongchan suddenly rushed in eagerly.
“What is it?” When Ning Cheng saw Yin Kongchan’s anxious expression, he knew that something should have happened.
Yin Kongchan said eagerly, “Xu Yingdie was injured by someone at the market, and she is being detained. If we go to the Tribunal, Xu Yingdie will definitely not have a chance to come out.”
Ning Cheng suddenly stood up, “What the hell is going on? Take me to see immediately.”
Although Ning Cheng had been in seclusion to impact the Violet Mansion and Dan Lake, he knew very well what kind of place Aaron City was. The laws here were strict to a frightening degree, and even for stunningly beautiful ordinary women like Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan, there were few people who would covet them. The streets were even more orderly. Xu Yingdie was not a troublemaker, so how could she possibly have to be taken to the Law Tribunal?
