Chapter 162: [So Impressive It Makes Your Scalp Numb] (Late Second Update)

Several days had passed, and the paper crane had long since flown out of the Demon Sect’s sphere of influence and quickly arrived near the Three Thousand Mountains.
Three Thousand Mountains wasn’t the name of a single mountain, but rather, a collective term for the region surrounded by mountains.
Yunmeng County was one of the closest counties to the Three Thousand Mountains, and this was Lu Xun’s destination.
He had been here in his previous life, as Yunmeng County could be considered one of the newbie villages in this area and was one of the most bustling one out of all on the Heavenly Dust Continent.
The reason was simple. The Three Thousand Mountains area contained a large number of medium and small Sects. Players naturally couldn’t all join the big famous Sects. The majority would join these smaller sects. Therefore, after the public testing, this area would have a large number of quirkily active players.
On the street, you could see all sorts of behavioral art, such as hopping around as if the floor was too hot to stand on, or rolling around on the ground from time to time. This was the era of culture renaissance, mimicking the online games of decades ago…
As players were gathering in great numbers, this was considered a sort of cultural invasion for the Heavenly Dust Continent.
With the active players across the continent, they also brought a part of the culture from Earth to this world.
For example, early in the game, lots of quirky players who had nothing to do loved to wait at big restaurants for talented people to compose poems and then recite ancient Tang and Song-style poems to make a fool out of them. They never grew tired of taking the path of plagiarism.
Even some Earthly memes were being widely circulated on the Heavenly Dust Continent.
However, the current Yunmeng County hadn’t been “polluted” by the quirky players yet.
Yunmeng County wasn’t large. In order to walk around in this mundane world, Mao Nanbei had to find a way to hide her cat ears. She tied up her hair into twin buns like when Lu Xun first met her, using her hair to cover the cat ears. Her hairstyle was similar to that of Nezha’s.
Lu Xun on the other hand put on the bamboo hat he had bought when he came down from the mountain last time. The hat had a layer of black veil that did not affect his vision but could hide his face.
Despite this, his appearance on the street still attracted many pairs of eyes. After all, a charisma of 10 is not just reflected on the face, but everywhere on the body. Even if he wore a sack, his temperament would still be different from others.
“Fourth Senior Sister, Little Chan, do you know what Yunmeng County is most famous for?” Lu Xun asked.
“What? Is there something delicious? Slurp!” Mao Nanbei was instantly intrigued.
“Does beauty count as something you can eat?” Lu Xun said with a smile, “Yunmeng County is famous for being a place where beauties are aplenty.”
“Hmph!” Mao Nanbei immediately lost interest.
But then she thought about it and immediately asked, “Little Junior Brother, how do you know?”
Lu Xun calmly replied, “Your Junior Brother too once indulged in extensive reading before joining the Sect, and I’ve learned so much without leaving my doorstep. There’s nothing surprising about that.”
Amazingly, both Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan believed him.
Even though Mao Nanbei wasn’t interested in his statement, after listening to Lu Xun, she started observing the women on the street. They did indeed seem to be better looking than those from other places.
It couldn’t be said that they were all beautiful women, but the overall level of attractiveness was quite high.
Even little girls who were playing around in the streets, many of them were as delicate as porcelain dolls, incredibly cute.
Of course, there was still a considerable gap compared to Mao Nanbei.
After specifically paying attention to this aspect, Mao Nanbei immediately disliked Yunmeng County.
The reason was simple. When people talk about beauties, it’s definitely not just about a beautiful face. Along the way, Mao Nanbei felt like she was fainting from seeing all the rear ends, bosoms, and long legs…
“It’s making me so angry!”
Why can’t I, Mao Nanbei, have all these!?
“Little Junior Brother, carry me,” Mao Nanbei suddenly said.
Although he didn’t understand what the little girl meant, Lu Xun still picked her up.
Mao Nanbei lay on Lu Xun’s back. Although there is a difference between males and females, it seemed like there was no need to care about these things with her body. She directly closed her eyes. She didn’t want to keep her eyes open while walking, out of sight, out of mind.
On the other hand, Lin Chan was looking around with great interest. Her gaze was quickly attracted to a brightly colored street surrounded by vibrant buildings.
“Don’t look there,” Lu Xun said out loud.
“Oh.” Lin Chan quietly complied in her heart, obediently turning her head and not looking in the direction of the street again.
What the master asked her to do was what she did, obedient.jpg.
Aside from producing beauties, Yunmeng County had another industry that was especially thriving, and the street that Lin Chan just looked at was the most bustling place in Yunmeng County at night.
Yes, it was a place known for its vibrant nightlife.
Being far away from the Demon Sect, Yunmeng County wasn’t under the Demon Sect’s influence like Qingling City and, as such, didn’t have the Lai Fu Restaurant which served as the Demon Sect’s base of operations.
Lu Xun planned to find a relatively clean inn for them to stay in temporarily and then try out the local special dishes.
He didn’t have much silver taels in his storage ring, but it was enough for them to spend freely for a few days.
After finding the most expensive inn in Yunmeng County to stay in, Lu Xun started to wait for nightfall.
The place he wanted to go to was that bustling street at night.
It’s not that he wanted to do something, but with his current body, spending money to do certain things, he felt… seemed like a losing deal?
It was clearly the girls who’ve taken advantage, yet he had to pay, which just didn’t make sense.
Lu Xun was going there just to broaden his horizons and, by the way, complete the task triggered by the Emperor Guild.
Unexpected, wasn’t it? The ruthless person who castrated himself was hiding in such a place!
Lu Xun shivered just thinking about it, such a bold move!
“Eh! Wait a minute!” Lu Xun suddenly realized he had overlooked something. “If this brother or sister is hiding in this place of nightlife, then the player who discovered her… Yikes! This is serious!”
And let’s not forget, before this ruthless person castrated himself, he also amputated his own right arm.
“This person could even adopt a fancy name like ‘The One-Armed Venus de Milo’” Lu Xun thought.
Night fell and the Yunmeng County under the cover of night was even more bustling than during the day.
Lu Xun wasn’t in a rush, preparing to go out later at night.
Just as he was about to go out at midnight, he heard a light knock on the door.
He opened the door to find Lin Chan standing there. He reached out his palm, allowing Lin Chan to write down what she wanted to say.
“Master, Fourth Senior Sister said she’s hungry, I’m thinking of going to the inn’s kitchen to cook some porridge, do you want some?”
Lu Xun smiled, taking out some silver taels from his storage ring and handing it to her, “This isn’t like the Lai Fu Restaurant, you need to pay to cook porridge in the kitchen.”
After putting the silver taels into Lin Chan’s small hand, Lu Xun didn’t bother to lie and said,
“You cook the porridge properly, remember to save a portion for your master. I need to go out for a bit, to chop off a person’s head.”
