Chapter 699 Chapter 699 Atmos City
The trip towards Atmos city by way of carriage would have usually taken 5 hours from start to finish but our bored gamer and company has only spent less than a minute using these giant eagles as pets of transportation.
Before long, everyone could see a walled city that both depicted a scene of wealthy and wise cultivators.
Else they would have long succumbed to enemy cities or the plague of beast tide in the past.
Other than these study high walls, there was also a defensive formation that protected the whole city.
"THUD!" Clark and his women had no choice but to land by the gates at this time.
"Go back to the sect. I will summon you when i have need." Our good gamer instructed these 3 giant eagles.
"SCREECH!" These piercing eagle's cry echoed loudly and a trio of tamed monsters launched from the ground and into the wide sky.
"MAKE WAY! MAKE WAY!" A bulky man in a soldier's uniform rushed to the forefront.
Even in this early morning, the traffic of businessmen and traders was already quite thick at the entrance.
It was easy to see that Atmos City truly deserved its fame and wealth amongst its neighboring communities.
It did not take long for the bulky man to arrive before our avid gamer and company.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Welcome to Atmos City, dear guests! This slave's name is Bu Taw. It would be my honor to serve you." The bulky man bowed.
Bu Taw was a soldier stationed at the gates of the city and he knew well how to capitalize on his chances.
It did not need telling that Clark's group was not the first strong cultivators to arrive in this city. More of than not, he would receive great rewards for his short service.
And his guts was telling him that he would get much more judging from the epic beauties of these newcomers. This group was definitely not simple!
"Hmmm... You're a wise man, Bu Taw." Our bored gamer nodded and smiled then without ado, marched forward and through the gates.
Many men looked at the many lovely women with lust in their eyes but they did not dare breathe loudly in our good gamer's presence.
They knew that men of power were naturally jealous based on their experience in this dog eat dog world.
"This way, Young Master!" Bu Taw said as he led the group unto 10 presentable carriages, complete with coaches at the helm.
"You have served us well, Bu Taw. Thank you." Clark said and withdrew something from his inventory. He then carelessly threw the thing at the agile hands of the soldier.
"DING!"
"A bottle of spirit stones!" Bu Taw realized at once. He immediately hid these treasures in fear of inviting the greed of the onlookers.
"Thank you so much, Young Master!" Bu Taw bowed deeply and a few breaths later, he could hear almost a dozen cars exiting the scene.
He maintained his posture for a minute or so before standing up right once more.
'I've struck it rich this time around! HAHAHA' Bu Taw screamed in his mind as he looked at the dust that marked the passage of those rich cultivators.
He went back to his post and threw fits of crazy laughter along the way. Bu Taw had a wish to get a more bountiful harvest today. Thus, he manned the gates with keen wise eyes.

"Patriarch! Patriarch! Patriarch!" A high pitched voice of a female servant was heard in obvious joy and excitement. She arrived in a lavish dining hall in no time. Noᴠel Fɪre.net
There was only one man in the seats while more than a dozen beautiful women ate with him on the table.
"What's wrong, Tian Nuan?" One of the ladies asked.
"..." Tian Nuan bowed to the lady to show her respect but then she corrected her posture and looked directly at the middle aged man on site.
"Patriarch, the young miss has come back!"
"DING!" The sound of a chair suddenly pushed aside echoed in the dining hall. This was of course no one else than the middle aged man Patriarch.
There was both surprise and longing in his eyes. It has been more than 1 year since he had last seen his daughter.
"My Xin'er is here!" A graceful mature lady also reacted at this time. She stood up also and came at her husband's side. The other women on the table had eyes of envy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey had children with the Patriarch too but unlike Ye Xinxia, their children were not favored at all.
It may be because our very own Ye Xinxia had the most talent amongst all of the Patriarch's children. Such a case was not at all unusual in these lands of cultivators.
"Yes. She returned after a year. I don't know if this is good news or bad." Patriarch Ye muttered under her breath.
After a brief pause, he led his Ye Xinxia's mother out and the rest of the wives looked at each other for direction.
They certainly did not want to welcome a person that they particularly did not like.
Alas, one smart woman amongst them followed Patriarch Ye and his main wife which prompted everyone to move alongside her.
Although they had no real affection towards Ye Xinxia but proper conduct needed to be observed. Thus, these women walked with heavy feet and an aching heart.

"Mother!" Ye Xinxia said in happiness and ran towards the woman that brought her into this world.
"Xin'er!" Ye Xinxia's mother also cried in joy. Both shared a tight hug that showed how much they missed one another.
"Welcome back, Young Miss!" The dozen and plus women of Patriarch Ye greeted warmly and anyone would have thought that they were thrilled by Ye Xinxia's presence.
Alas, the truth was of course far from this hot welcome. Everyone had their own thoughts and it did not need telling that Patriarch Ye also had his own.
He inspected the ladies behind his daughter first and could not help but grow in lust within moments. His gaze lingered particularly on Mu Ningxue.
Unfortunately, the same thing did not happen when he looked at our very own protagonist.
'A man with no spirit root or cultivation?'
