It was a good question. It was a sharp and unusual question. Most people wouldn't ask such a question in front of their faces. The group of old men were like startled birds, quickly shifting their gazes away from the woman's breasts.
"Uh …" Miao Yi, who was asked directly, felt rather awkward.
It wasn't that he wanted to look, or that he had any improper thoughts. It was just that the woman's breasts were so conspicuous that it was hard not to notice.
Besides, he was already used to looking at Qian'Er and Xue'Er's breasts. He didn't think there was anything wrong with looking. Of course, Qian'Er and Xue'Er's breasts weren't as spectacular.
The reason he felt awkward was because the woman was right in front of him. Miao Yi never imagined that Luo Shuangfei would suddenly say such a thing.
The woman couldn't help but laugh, but she forcefully held it in. Furthermore, when she heard Luo Shuangfei address Miao Yi as' Lord ', she immediately confirmed that Miao Yi was an official. It was the first time she saw an official wearing six storage rings at once. Just thinking about it made her heart race. His status must be extraordinary.
Miao Yi could only pretend he didn't hear it. He tilted his head and asked, "Tian Qingfeng, are you familiar with this capital city?"
"I've been here a few times. The capital city is huge. I can't say I'm familiar with it." Tian Qingfeng replied.
Miao Yi then asked the others, "Are you familiar with it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was no need to guess what they meant. That Xu Niang's eyes became hot and filled with anticipation.
As the others shook their heads, Luo Shuangfei took out his spear and pointed it at the woman, shouting, "Scram! If you don't, I will kill you! "
"You shut your mouth," Miao Yi barked.
Luo Shuangfei pouted and glared at Miao Yi. He then put down his spear in annoyance.
Miao Yi looked up at the cave the woman jumped into, then turned back and asked, "What's your name?"
The woman quickly replied, "I am Lin Pingping." She didn't forget to add, "The Loose Cultivators living here have all been investigated and verified by the officials. Their backgrounds are absolutely clean. I am definitely not a criminal."
"I can't tell." Luo Shuangfei mocked.
Miao Yi coldly warned her, then said to the woman, "Then I'll have to trouble you to be our guide."
It was his first time in the capital city, so naturally, he wanted to find someone he was familiar with to be his guide. Of course, this was also after listening to Tian Qingfeng's words. He knew that it wasn't easy for these loose cultivators. This woman's looks weren't bad either. Logically speaking, if she was willing to put down her pride, she wouldn't have to suffer so much and endure Luo Shuangfei's sarcasm and humbly seek an opportunity.
Although he said he would be the guide for free. He didn't mention anything about remuneration, but he was already prepared to make sure that if the other party did well, he wouldn't let them work for nothing. Miao Yi was also born in the streets, so he could understand the hardships.
"It's no trouble. It's no trouble at all. Please wait a moment, my lord. "
Lin Pingping was overjoyed. She knew that as long as this kind of person agreed, he wouldn't let her work in vain. She quickly left.
"And here I was wondering why he was pretending to be a gentleman. So it turns out that he likes women with big breasts. But then again, to be able to take a liking to a girl of her age, his taste is really heavy," Luo Shuangfei muttered as he turned his head to the side.
"Luo Shuangfei. Why do you always think in that direction?" Miao Yi couldn't help but advise him, "Next time, don't go to those messy places."
He believed that Luo Shuangfei's imagination ran wild because he had been to too many brothels.
"Milord. Even though I serve you, there's no rule that says a cultivator can't go to those kinds of places, right? "Luo Shuangfei scoffed.
Tian Qingfeng and the others were speechless. They didn't know why Miao Yi wanted to recruit this unreliable Luo Shuangfei, and even tolerated him.
Truth be told, Tian Qingfeng and the others were a little jealous of Luo Shuangfei. It was obvious that Miao Yi wanted to give Luo Shuangfei an official position. Even a Loose Cultivator who robbed others was able to obtain such a good fortune. It made them jealous. They had followed Miao Yi everywhere and followed his orders obediently, but they had never seen Miao Yi treat them this way.
Everyone was muttering to themselves. What use was there for a disobedient subordinate like Luo Shuangfei?
Yet he didn't know that some things belonged to those who were capable.
Luo Shuangfei was able to possess a White Lotus Ninth Grade cultivation at such a young age. This meant that Luo Shuangfei's cultivation art was extraordinary, and he had a lot of room for improvement. On the other hand, Tian Qingfeng and the others were already old men.
Luo Shuangfei's vicious, strange, and cunning spear art was not something a disciple of the School of Blue Jade could compare to. He had a rather unique skill. Coupled with the defensive armor artifact he wore, he had the upper hand in a chaotic battle against a large number of people. He was very suitable to serve Miao Yi in battle.
Luo Shuangfei was able to poison over twenty of them. Up until now, no one knew how he did it. Just based on this ability alone, Miao Yi felt that he was stronger than Tian Qingfeng and the others. He would definitely have a use for him in the future.
Luo Shuangfei's ability to control the marten to detoxify the poison was something that Miao Yi treasured even more.
If Tian Qingfeng and the others also had this ability, Miao Yi would definitely give them preferential treatment, just like how Yang Qing had taken a liking to Miao Yi all those years ago.
A dragon steed charged out from a nearby valley. The rider was none other than Lin Pingping. She ran up to him and asked, "Milord. Are you going to find a place to settle down first?"
Miao Yi waved his hand and pointed to the mountain peak in the distance that pierced through the clouds. Lin Pingping thought to herself, 'As expected, he's not an ordinary person. That place isn't something an ordinary cultivator could afford to stay in. She immediately nodded and said, "Milord, please follow me."
Who knew that Luo Shuangfei would get angry the moment he saw her. He noticed that the white flesh on her chest was jiggling more and more as she sat on her dragon steed. He immediately pointed his spear at her and shouted, "Cover up those jiggling lumps of fat on your chest. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting sick of looking at you. I'll stab you to death with my spear!"
Everyone stared at this weirdo, dumbfounded. Even Miao Yi didn't know what to say. He couldn't just let Lin Pingping reveal her chest without covering up. Otherwise, everyone would suspect what he was thinking.
This time, Lin Pingping was embarrassed. She hurriedly buttoned up her clothes around her chest, completely concealing the exposed lumps. Only then did she extend her hand to invite everyone to follow her.
Luo Shuangfei rode beside Miao Yi, unwilling to give up his position. Tian Qingfeng had no choice but to slow down and let Lin Pingping accompany Miao Yi. She introduced the surroundings along the way. As expected, she was more familiar with the capital city than Tian Qingfeng. She could explain everything clearly and logically.
When the group arrived at the Jade Capital Peak where the Overlord of the Fifth Earthly Branch resided, they had already gained a general understanding of the capital city's customs and traditions from Lin Pingping.
Tian Qingfeng and the others had never stayed on Jade Capital Peak before, so Lin Pingping was even more familiar with the place. She immediately led the group to the registration area at the foot of Jade Capital Peak.
Lin Pingping had already introduced the place to them earlier. The places that cultivators were allowed to stay on Jade Capital Peak were divided into four classes. Naturally, they wouldn't be like the places where Loose Cultivators stayed, where they had to dig out a cave to accommodate themselves. They also wouldn't be like ordinary inns, where all of them had individual residences of varying sizes.
The first class was located at the foot of the mountain, and was the cheapest. The second class was located at a higher elevation, where one could see more of the scenery of the capital city from afar. Naturally, it was more expensive. The third class was located in a better environment, so the price would definitely be higher. As for the fourth class, there was no need to even mention it. The Palace Lords of the respective branches had their own residences here all year round. When they came to meet the Overlord, they could stay there whenever they wanted. The Palace Lords could afford to do so as well, so they didn't care about such a small amount of money.
In front of the counter, the innkeeper smiled and asked, "Which class would the esteemed guest like to stay in?"
Miao Yi replied, "Third class."
The innkeeper looked at the group of people behind Miao Yi, then asked, "How many esteemed guests will there be?"
Miao Yi turned to look at Lin Pingping beside him and asked, "Why don't you stay with us?"
The cost of living here was too high. Lin Pingping couldn't afford it, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "There's no need for that, Milord. If you have any requests, just let me know in advance. I will definitely wait for you at the foot of the mountain."
"There's no need to go through the trouble of going back and forth. Your place isn't near either. If it's convenient, you can stay with us. In case something happens, it'll be more convenient for us to look for you."
"If that's the case, I will gladly accept." Lin Pingping was a little embarrassed as she agreed. She stole a glance at Luo Shuangfei.
As expected, Luo Shuangfei let out a sarcastic 'hmph' in displeasure.
Miao Yi immediately told the innkeeper, "Twenty-three people."
The innkeeper smiled and said, "Third class villas. Based on the number of people, each person will be charged fifty Gold Crystals per day. Twenty-three people will total a thousand one hundred and fifty Gold Crystals."
This price could be said to be sky-high. Fifty Gold Crystals per day would be equivalent to five hundred thousand White Crystals per day. If Lin Pingping hadn't informed him beforehand, Miao Yi would definitely be in shock right now.
However, he could still afford this amount of money. Moreover, he had the intention to come and experience it, so it didn't matter.
As he paid, Miao Yi handed over his Cave Master's jade archive to the innkeeper for verification.
This was because Lin Pingping had mentioned before that there would be a lot of benefits for those with official status.
As expected, those with official status once again enjoyed special treatment. Each person was directly exempted from ten Gold Crystals per day, and only had to pay forty Gold Crystals per day. In total, everyone would only have to pay nine hundred and twenty Gold Crystals per day.
Lin Pingping's eyes flickered as she looked at Miao Yi, thinking to herself that he was indeed someone with official status.
However, in Luo Shuangfei's eyes, her expression immediately revealed that she harbored evil intentions.
The innkeeper gave Miao Yi the twenty-three residence passes, then called for a servant to escort the guests up the mountain.
Miao Yi and his group had quite a number of people. Moreover, Luo Shuangfei had insisted that they couldn't stay separately, and had to stay together. Hence, the innkeeper had arranged a large courtyard for them.
The courtyard was located halfway up the mountain. It was quiet and elegant, with an antique feel to it. The surrounding bamboo forest swayed gently, and the pine trees rustled in the wind. Scattered ancient trees towered into the sky, and wild flowers were transplanted along the roadside of the fallen leaves, embellishing the place with a faint fragrance. Turning around to look, the scenery of the capital city with its winding rivers was pleasing to the eye. At the foot of the mountain was a bustling mortal world, while at the top of the mountain, it was otherworldly. It gave off a feeling of looking down on all living beings, as though they were high above. This scene was like a scene from a painting.
Someone had already helped to lead everyone's dragon steeds to the accommodations for their mounts in the courtyard. The servants who had arrived earlier respectfully welcomed them. There were more than enough people to serve everyone.
The servants working here were all young loose cultivators with low cultivation bases. Cultivators with a normal status or a stable source of income couldn't possibly become servants here. Ordinary people wouldn't work either. For example, dragon steeds and the like couldn't be served by ordinary people. Therefore, it was best to make do with these loose cultivators. They wouldn't dare to cause trouble and were obedient.
Lin Pingping said that she had also worked on this mountain when she was younger. However, as she aged, she was afraid that the customers would not be happy with her work. As a result, the Celestial Nation's Chamber of Commerce fired her. The Loose Cultivators working here were basically living off their youth. However, Loose Cultivators didn't have a source of Orbs of Will, so their cultivation progress was slow and they aged quickly. This relatively stable bowl of youth wouldn't last long.
