Chapter 18 – An’yue (2) (2/2)
Looking at these “hungry” men – who were more like a bunch of oxen in their rut period, An’yue quickly started to regret her own proposal. However, she was confident that this young man wouldn’t surpass the second level of the Realm of the Elite within three months’ time.
“No problem. we’ll fight in three months from now. Even if I lose, it is just one night, no big deal.” An’yue finally confirmed.
“That’s great. Everyone here today are witnesses of this gamble between me and this beautiful lady boss. I’ll see you in three months.” Qinghan drank up the wine in front of him before he walked out of the door.
“Little brother, I’m optimistic about you.” The strong man, Menglong couldn’t help but laugh.
“Where are you going?” Menglong added.
“The Wild Mountain Range. I will practice my cultivation and accumulate some practical fighting experience. I’ll be back right on time.” Qinghan looked back over his shoulders and replied.
All the people in the dining hall were shocked by Qinghan’s reply…
“He is a man of courage.”
“Yeah, he starts preparing for the upcoming fight by cultivating in the dangerous mountain.”
Given the inexperience in real fights, Qinghan was bold enough to accept An’yue’s proposal. After all, as the lady boss of the An’yue Hotel, she must’ve obtained some capability so that her business could survive and flourish in this jungle-like Wild City.
While some of the guests held different opinions, they all thought that Qinghan’s calmness could be an indication of some concealed ability. Most of the guests hoped that Qinghan would win from An’yue.
It had been three years since An’yue had started her business in Wild City. She was pretty good at touting by flirting with her customers. However, no one had ever been allowed to touch her body, let alone establishing a romantic relationship with her. She acted like a lady of easy virtue, but she wasn’t actually a loose woman. The guests now expected Qinghan, in representation of them all, to have a real sluttish night with this beauty, rather than some verbal dissolute joking.
“Oh, no! If this young man really doesn’t have any practical experience in real fighting, it’s too risky for him to go into the mountains. He’s too reckless...” Menglong suddenly exclaimed, running to the doorstep to see if Qinghan was still around the hotel. Unfortunately, there wasn’t even a shadow of him to be found.
People began to worry about Qinghan, some of them even argued that he could lose his life if he went into the heart of the mountain range. They regretted not to remind him. And the most dangerous thing in the mountain range was actually not the demonic beasts, but rather… The huntsmen…
“Hopefully, this little brother won’t encounter the huntsmen…” The coquettish lady boss also prayed for Qinghan, as she felt a sense of guilt for proposing such a gamble.
……
Right now, Qinghan had already left Wild City. He was walking down the road that led to the Wild Mountain Range.
Wild City was located around the foot of the Wild Mountain Range; the distance between the two places was short. Several years ago, the demonic beasts from the mountain range had ran into the city, causing unexpected tragedies among the inhabitants there. Thankfully, owing to the huntsmen, there were less and less demonic beasts appearing on the foot of the mountain.
Qinghan grabbed his bag with his arm, which contained some necessary stuff needed for his adventure – a small dagger, some food, some bottles of water and some other cats and dogs.
Indeed, Qinghan had long wished for killing demonic beasts. As a cultivator in the Realm of the Elite, at least he could deal with some first-grade or second-grade demonic beasts. As long as he didn’t enter into the heart of the mountain, he should be able to survive. Considering the hungry Little Black, Qinghan was determined to harvest as many magic crystals as possible.
Due to his lack of actual fighting experience, Qinghan had spent two days inquiring about the know-how for a successful adventure in the mountain range. And the gamble with An’yue finally propelled him to put his plan into action, despite the possibility of him losing his life.
Qinghan ran down the mountain lane, holding a dagger in one of his hands. As far as he knew, in the periphery of the Wild Mountain Range, which was about 10 kilometers away from the mountain, one would rarely encounter any demonic beasts. Now, it was almost noon, he had to walk around 10 kilometers in order to see some first-grade demonic beasts. He decided to make it there before dusk, so that he could find a safe place to spend the night and he wouldn’t fight until the next morning.
It was known to all that the Wild Mountain Range was full of demonic beasts, and different grades demonic beasts lived in different parts of the mountain. The most outside part was inhabited by first-grade demonic beasts, though occasionally, some second-grade demonic beasts would come to this part as well. After walking through the first-grade demonic beast area, there was the second-grade demon beast area… And the third-grade, fourth-grade… The further away from the heart of the mountain range, the lower the ranks of the demonic beasts would be. Sometimes, some high-ranked demonic beasts would wander around in low-ranked areas. If that was the case, it would be a sad story for the adventurer.
