Update 8: In a bustling city, a young couple walked side by side, the boy in black clothes, handsome and energetic, the girl in white clothes, beautiful and stunning, it was Li Hui and Han Xue.

  At this time they were already within the borders of Xia Zhou, in a city called Ning Yuan City. However, there was not a single cultivator present; it was a purely mortal city.

  Xiazhou is adjacent to Shangzhou in the east, Youzhou in the north, Liangzhou in the southwest, and Chu Zhou in the south.

  At the junction of Xia Zhou, Chu Zhou and Liang Zhou, a mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, called Kunji Mountain.

  Xiazhou is north of Kunji Mountain, Liangzhou is southwest, and Chuzhou is due south. This Kunji Mountain is the general name of this mountain range, and there are countless large and small branches.

  Li Hui and Han Xue entered Xia Zhou through a place called Tongbai Mountain, which was the gathering place agreed upon by Bi Xiangu before their defeat.

  It's been almost two months since the Battle of Bixiao Gate, and both of them knew that finding a cultivator from Bixiao Gate was unlikely. They were just going with an open mind, not considering it a detour anyway.

  In fact, Han Xue was also entangled in her heart, hoping that the same door would be safe and sound, but she also wanted to continue being with Li Hui. Subconsciously, she vaguely hoped that the people of Bi Xiao Gate had already left this place.

  Han Xue sent out a signal at Tongbai Mountain as previously agreed, but did not receive any response. After waiting for two days, he also gave up and entered the territory of Xiazhou with Li Hui.

  Ningyuan City is the first city encountered after entering Xiazhou, but it is a purely mortal city.

  Inside Ningyuan City, it was bustling with all sorts of silk, tea, jade, and rice shops. There were also hunters selling pelts at street stalls, wearing waist knives and sporting whiskers. Wine houses and teahouses could be seen everywhere, and from time to time, large merchant caravans of camels would pass through the city.

  Han Xue and Li Hui walked side by side, looking at everything in the city with great interest. Suddenly, she turned her head and smiled: "Li Hui, doesn't this place look like the Mortal Street in Ling Xiao City?"

  Li Hui was taken aback, and then he also remembered the days when he struggled to make a living in Ling Xiang City since he was young, back then he almost ran to Fan Ren Street every day.

  "Yeah, it's really similar. But we still have a long way to go, so let's not linger." Li Hui said with a serious face, looking at Han Xue's curious and happy expression.

  "What? Still have to rush?" Han Xue's voice couldn't hide her disappointment, her eyes still lingering on some clothing and accessory stores by the street.

  Li Hui couldn't help but secretly laugh at Han Xue's appearance, trying hard to hold back her voice, but her shoulders kept shrugging up and down.

  "Alright... So you deceived me!" Han Xue turned her head and saw Li Hui sneaking a smile on the side, instantly understanding what was going on, and couldn't help but say with a pout.

  "Hahaha!" Li Hui burst out laughing.

  "Hmph!" Han Xue pretended to be angry and pouted, wrinkling her nose, which only added to her cuteness.

  Looking at Han Xue's appearance, Li Hui's heart skipped a beat again, and he said softly: "Today, let's go shopping together!"

  Han Xue finally revealed a smile, nodded and walked forward shoulder to shoulder with Li Hui.

  Two people walked through the market, occasionally stopping in front of stalls and shops selling cosmetics, clothes, and jewelry.

  Li Hui was a handsome young man, and Han Xue's beauty was even more stunning, causing passersby on the street to turn their heads in admiration, secretly sighing that they made a perfect pair of heavenly lovers.

  "Li Hui, what do you think of this hairpin?" In a jewelry store, Han Xue picked up a white jade hairpin and compared it to her own hair, looking at Li Hui with great expectation.

  Li Hui was speechless. At this moment, Han Xue didn't have the slightest appearance of a foundation-building cultivator or an enlightened being. She looked just like an ordinary girl who loved beauty. This white jade hairpin, in the eyes of a cultivator, was no different from a stone, yet Han Xue couldn't bear to part with it.

  "Good-looking, a beauty like you just needs to hang a branch on her head and the branch will also look good." Li Hui replied with a smile.

  Han Xue gave him a cold glance: "How come you're getting more and more slick!"

  "This young lady is truly like a fairy descending to the mortal world, this hairpin would be honored if it could be worn on her head!" The shop owner on the side also gave a thumbs up in praise, but his eyes were shining with expectant light as he looked at Li Hui.

  Han Xue burst out laughing and teased Li Hui: "Did you hear that? Hurry up and give me the money to buy it!"

  The shop owner next door laughed even more happily, his eyes narrowed into a slit, gazing at Li Hui with enthusiasm.

  This stumped Li Hui, as he had many spiritual stones on him in the immortal mansion, but as for worldly gold and silver, he truly didn't have any. He awkwardly patted his pockets while looking at Han Xue and the shopkeeper.

  "Hehe!" Han Xue laughed, her flower-like face shaking. She was from Ling Xiao City and knew that in this mundane world, one needed gold and silver to buy things. She knew Li Hui wouldn't have these things with him, so she intentionally teased him.

  "How much is this hairpin? I'll take it!" A bright voice came from the doorway, followed by a young nobleman wearing a blue brocade robe with a rather handsome face walking into the store, accompanied by several burly men standing outside.

  The shopkeeper saw Li Hui couldn't take out the money, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. At this time, seeing the brocade youth come in, his face smiled again: "Young Master Fang! Come on, come on, please go inside!" While welcoming the young master, he said: "This hairpin is only worth fifty taels of silver!"

  The young master in the brocade robe casually tossed over a silver ingot: "No need to find change, this hairpin belongs to this lady." His eyes, however, remained fixed on Han Xue without moving away.

  The shop owner is such a keen-eyed person that he knew it was a large ingot of 100 taels just by the size of this silver ingot! He laughed so hard his eyes disappeared, thanking him repeatedly.

  "In the lower house, brave enough to ask Miss's name?" The young man in brocade made a gesture of courtesy and asked Han Xue with a suave demeanor, his eyes still reluctant to move away, while Li Hui was completely ignored.

  Li Hui looked at the young man with a cold gaze, he could naturally see that there was no spiritual power fluctuation on this young man's body, just an ordinary person. However, he didn't take action, in his eyes, ordinary people were like ants, not worth bothering about.

  Han Xue didn't even give the young man a glance, and instead turned to the owner of the jade hairpin shop: "I don't want to buy this hairpin after all." Then she turned back to Li Hui with a gentle smile, "Let's go somewhere else to have some fun."

  Li Hui nodded and turned around with Han Xue, never looking at the young man who claimed to be Fang Yong from start to finish.

  Fang Yong's face changed slightly, in this Ningyuan City, no one dared to be so disrespectful to him! Just now he was strolling on the street with a group of followers, and unintentionally glanced into this jewelry store, and found a woman as beautiful as a celestial being. He prided himself on being romantic, having seen countless women, but all the women he had seen before added up did not equal half the beauty of the woman in the store.

  As for the young man in black who was accompanying the woman, he initially thought he had some demeanor, but unexpectedly couldn't even take out fifty taels of silver, it seems that he is also just a superficial guy. That's why he confidently walked in and threw down a hundred gold coins, all for a smile from the beauty. Unexpectedly, she didn't even give him a proper glance, how could this not make him angry?

  Fang Yong made a gesture towards the outside, and several burly men waiting outside understood tacitly, coming over together to surround Han Xue and Li Hui who had just walked out.

  "Miss, please stay!" Fang Yong also rushed out, "Just now in the lower house was too presumptuous, I hope Miss will not blame me." Facing Han Xue, such a stunning beauty, Fang Yong still made an effort to put on a gentle and refined appearance.

  Han Xue still didn't look at Fang Yong and walked out with Li Hui, but was stopped by Fang Yong's followers.

  Han Xue's face turned cold as ice, her eyes indifferent as she gazed at the few people blocking her way.

  Fang Yong looked at this icy and dusty woman, like a fairy from the ninth heaven descending to the mortal world, and his heart was even more itchy and unbearable, taking another step forward to pester Han Xue again.

  "Get out of the way!"

  A cold voice that chilled to the bone entered his ears, Fang Yong and several followers who blocked the way couldn't help but shiver, but Li Hui spoke coldly beside him, looking at the people blocking the way as if they were dead.

  Fang Yong looked at Li Hui's icy gaze, and his heart felt a few points of fear, but he immediately thought that this guy was just a poor devil who couldn't even afford fifty taels of silver. Looking again at Han Xue's stunning face, his courage suddenly grew.

  "Hey kid, don't interfere with things that are none of your business, or else don't blame me for being ruthless!" In front of him, a tall and robust man like an iron tower looked at Li Hui with disdain, but was actually trying to curry favor with his master.

  Li Hui's eyebrows slightly furrowed, these ordinary people really don't know life or death. The scene before him also reminded him of the time when he was humiliated by Han Hao in the mortal street of Ling Xiao City during his youth, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

  "Boom!"

  The big man in black clothes suddenly flew backwards, heavily falling onto the rooftop across the street, crushing a hole through the roof and causing bricks to fall loudly.

  Li Hui still stood with his hands tied behind his back, as if he hadn't moved at all, indifferently watching the others.

  Fang Rong and the remaining followers were all shocked, never expecting that this black-clothed youth was actually a deeply hidden martial arts master!

  "But in this Ningyuan City, no one dares to oppose my House of Fong!" Thinking of his family background, especially with a secret backer unknown to outsiders in his household, Fang Yong's courage grew again.

  "You little scamp, how dare you hurt someone! Take him down!" Fang Yong bellowed.

  His several followers were not mediocre either, although just now Li Hui had silently and suddenly sent one of them flying. The few people would never have thought that the black-clothed youth in front of them was the legendary immortal! They only thought he was a master, and earlier it was just an unexpected success! Moreover, this was in Ningyuan City, where the Fang family was the local snake! Therefore, their courage suddenly increased.

  "Hmmph!"

  Several people shouted in unison and rushed towards Li Hui, while Fang Yong took advantage of the opportunity to stretch out his hand and grab Han Xue's body.

  Li Hui furrowed his brow. Just now, he had shown a hint of his hand, hoping that these people would know their limits and retreat, but unexpectedly they became even more arrogant.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  One after another, those few attendants all fell flying upwards, directly crossing over several layers of houses, and flew towards the distance.

  Fang Yong only felt his wrist tighten, turned his head to look, and the black-clothed youth was staring at him coldly, with his right arm stretched out to grab Han Xue's wrist as if it were being clamped by a steel hoop.

  "Think of you as ignorant, and spare your life!" Li Hui said coldly, his hand slightly trembling.

  "Ah!"

  Fang Yong let out a heart-wrenching scream, his right arm falling limply to his side as if it had lost all its bones. In fact, every bone in his right arm was now reduced to powder.

  "Xue Er, let's go!" Li Hui stretched out his hand and smiled at Han Xue.

  Han Xue's face relaxed into a smile, her complexion unfolding like an iceberg thawing out, she nodded slightly and reached out to hold Li Hui's hand, the two of them continuing on as if nothing had happened.

  Fang Yong gazed at the two figures disappearing into the distance with a venomous glare, beads of sweat the size of beans continuously rolling down his face. He too had been practicing martial arts since childhood and his body was much more resilient than an ordinary person's, which is why he managed to endure the intense pain without fainting.

  The boss of the accessory shop next door had already been scared pale, and when he saw Li Hui and others walking far away, he came over to support Fang Yong: "Master Fang, are you okay?"

  At this time, Fang Yong was already in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and with great effort squeezed out two words: "Horse carriage!"
