Chapter 116: Trouble Comes Knocking (Second Update)

  It is extremely difficult for a person to cultivate from an ordinary person to a true god, and the various difficulties in between are not mentioned.

  In front of the true god, they all have limited lifespans. For example, Yi Chi's lifespan is only about a thousand years, which is already a special case for him, and he has exchanged many things for himself to achieve this thousand-year lifespan. Ordinary three-star Dou Shis have a lifespan of around 300 years, and even Dou Gods only have a lifespan of ten thousand years. Once they pass the ten-thousand-year mark, if they don't break through again, their life will come to an end.

  The dragon tribe, not only were they born with unparalleled strength, but their lifespan was also incredibly long. Even an ordinary giant dragon had a lifespan of over 10,000 years. However, more than half of their time was spent in sleep, and before they reached adulthood, they would often be in a state of long-term hibernation. Only after passing the 3,000-year growth period would this sleepy state slow down, but it still existed. Therefore, it was very rare to see giant dragons on the mainland, because they were all sleeping soundly in the Dragon City.

  And a giant dragon with a lifespan of over 10,000 years, one drop of his blood can extend the life of an ordinary person by 100 years. For cultivators, the effect is weakened as their own lifespan lengthens. Even if they are as strong as a fighting god and have already lived for 10,000 years, taking ordinary dragon's blood would be useless to them. Only the blood of those half-godly giant dragons can extend their lifespan.

  The maid's bowl was just mixed with the fresh blood of a certain type of snake-like magical beast, and it didn't have any special effect, it was just a tonic. However, it was very precious, and for this one table, Yi Chi spent around 500 to 600 gold coins, plus the three serving maids, that would be nearly a thousand gold coins. It couldn't be said to be not expensive, but who made Yi Chi think it was fresh? Anyway, spending a few thousand or tens of thousands like this meant nothing to him.

  After Yi Chi finished watching, a maid beside him poured him a cup of wine. Yi Chi stopped her from feeding himself and directly picked up the wine glass to drink it all in one gulp.

  "Ah, good wine." Yi Chi merely praised it and the maid immediately poured him a full cup, also smiling at Yi Chi.

  Yi Chi gave her a glance and continued drinking until he drained his cup.

  This was still his first time drinking in this world, and surprisingly, the taste of wine in this otherworldly place wasn't bad at all. Of course, ordinary people couldn't afford to drink what Yi Chi drank - a single jug cost tens of gold coins, which was far beyond what ordinary people could afford.

  On this side, Yi Chi had just downed two cups of wine when another maid from the other side brought over a piece of dragon blood cake. The dragon blood cake was bright red in color and would reflect a crimson glow under the light, hence its name. Yi Chi symbolically took a bite, hmm, surprisingly it's actually good. It has elasticity but doesn't stick to your teeth, and the flavor is also top-notch. After taking one bite, Yi Chi couldn't help but take another bite, this is far better than those pastries from his previous life.

  At this moment, the piano sound from across has already started, the melody is long and continuous, subtle and touching to the extreme.

  Even Yiqi couldn't help but be drawn in, listening intently, and didn't even glance at the dragon blood cake by his mouth.

  As the music came to an end, Yi Chi finally snapped out of the sound of the zither, and couldn't help but feel a sense of infinite nostalgia. This melody gave him a feeling of returning to his mother's womb, and even now, he still felt the sound of the zither echoing in his ears.

  "Great melody! Great skill!"

  The zither-playing woman stood up, bowed slightly and said: "Thank you, young master, for your wonderful praise."

  Yi Chi smiled slightly and continued eating and drinking, while the other person started playing another tune.

  ......

  In the private room, the atmosphere was filled with warmth. On one side, Yi Chi was enjoying himself beautifully, and the three maids were also in a good mood. It was rare to meet a young master like Yi Chi who was not only handsome but also well-behaved and courteous. Unlike those people who were either rough or smooth-talking, without any seriousness, Yi Chi was so proper that he didn't even touch them once, and from start to finish, he spoke no more than five sentences.

  However, they were a bit disappointed. It's rare for them to have a good impression of someone, but the other party didn't seem to want to chat at all. This made them feel slightly annoyed. In their line of work, they had to face all sorts of people every day, and it was rare to meet someone like Yi Chi. But now, it seemed like the lady was willing, but the gentleman was not interested, which was extremely disappointing!

  Yi Chi, however, was unaware of their thoughts. If he had known, he would have been gloating again. He was now enjoying the comfort and luxury. Not to mention before crossing over, even after crossing over, this was his first time experiencing such treatment. Everything was being taken care of by others, and these three maids were so pleasing to the eye. His mood was joyful, and his stomach was also enjoying the delicious food. The pressure from the past few days seemed to have vanished entirely, making him feel extremely relaxed.

  But sometimes, what kind of person you are, that's the kind of life you have, it's just your fate. You're destined to be a hardworking person and can't live an easy life. Even when eating a meal, it's rare to enjoy it peacefully, someone will always come to disturb you.

  Trouble has come.

  ......

  Shunde Building, as the first wine house in Shuntong City, is naturally favored by those aristocratic young masters who love to enjoy themselves. With so many people coming, it's not surprising that some of them are a bit degenerate.

  Just like Wang Gongzi standing in the great hall right now, he is this kind of person.

  His father was the oldest elder of the largest family in Shuntong City. Speaking of which, the eldest elder of the Wang family was also a late-born son. After the age of 200, he finally had this son. Although this son was notorious in Shuntong City for being a lecher, a gambler, and doing all sorts of evil deeds, he never did anything good.

  He's just a person, but he has his father backing him up. With the strength of a mere two-star great master, he has managed to survive until now without anyone daring to offend him. Moreover, with his father's doting, this has cultivated his arrogant and lawless personality. In Shuntong City, apart from three major powers that he won't provoke, almost everyone else has been offended by him at some point.

  And today, following his usual routine, it was time for him to come to Shunde Wine House to eat and drink after teaching people a lesson. At this moment, he brought with him several of his personal bodyguards and arrived at the main hall of Shunde Wine House.

  Those who saw him couldn't help but turn their heads away, afraid that he would see the discontent and anger in their eyes and bring disaster upon themselves.

  But this prince also likes this situation, he thinks that everyone is afraid of him, who made him have a good father!

  As usual, Wang Gongzi walked directly to his private room, and the manager of the wine house even took the lead in bringing him there. Sometimes, you flatter him but still get beaten up. After a long time, the manager also understood that this Wang Gongzi was simply an idiot who would find trouble when there was none, purely because he had nothing better to do. He wanted to hear flattering words from others, and he had plenty of people to do that for him. Why did he need to come to this Shun De wine house? This was exactly what the fool hated most. After being beaten a few times, he didn't say anything else and just handled his business directly. If Wang Gongzi was in a good mood, he would even give some extra rewards.

  However, in his heart, this shopkeeper really hated that Wang guy to death. Unfortunately, he was just a shopkeeper of the wine house and not the lord of Shuntong City, so he didn't have the qualifications to confront him. He could only hide his hatred deep down in his heart, and before going to sleep at night, he would curse that bastard fiercely. At other times, he still had to maintain that smiling face, not for anything else, but just to survive here, just to keep himself alive.

  "If only someone would kill him, that would be great!" The big shopkeeper on the road thought to himself with relish. If it were really like that, he wouldn't have to pay anything and wouldn't have to face this bastard again, how wonderful!

  But today, it turned out to be the boss's lucky day, and his wish really came true.

  The young master hummed all the way up to the third floor, but suddenly stopped in the corridor, tilted his head to one side, as if listening to something.

  His men were also quick-witted and hastily intercepted the shopkeeper who was still walking forward, signaling him to be silent.

  Several people were looking at the young master, and the shopkeeper was so anxious that he seemed to be on the verge of a disaster. If something really happened, his job would be over. The young master could cause trouble without any consequences, but the guide would be held responsible by his superiors. He might even lose his job, but he didn't have the guts to interrupt the young master and could only silently plead here.
