Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 213 Inside Dongyi City
Leng Feibai ignored the two guys but didn't want to annoy them either. He called out into the house, "Duoduo, I'm going shopping in Dongyi City. Are you coming?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Haitang Duoduo pushed open the door and came out, saying, "I don't..."

"Dongyi City has many local delicacies as well as cuisines from overseas!"

Leng Feibai said in a tempting tone, "This kind of thing can't be bought or eaten in Qing Kingdom or Northern Qi!"

Upon hearing this, Haitang Duoduo, a self-proclaimed foodie, showed no outward reaction, but her mouth watered.

In no time, Haitang Duoduo was successfully lured out by Leng Feibai, and they strolled around the streets of Dongyi City together.

As the largest seaport city in the world, Dongyi City covers a vast area. The two looked around and walked around the city for a long time.

Seeing all sorts of buildings mixed together, and people of all races and skin colors gathering here with goods from all over the world.

Each person painstakingly haggles, all in an effort to acquire the item they desire.

When Haitang Duoduo visited Dongyi City for the first time, she exclaimed sincerely, "It's truly prosperous! There must be no place in the world that can compare to Dongyi City."

Leng Feibai nodded and said, "That's right. Qing Kingdom was not good at maritime trade. If it weren't for Ye Qingmei establishing a trading company and producing a bunch of rare items back then, Qing... the late emperor would have set up a commercial port in Quanzhou more than 20 years ago, but even now it can't compare to Dongyi City."

At this point, Leng Feibai revealed another piece of information that no one else knew.

"It is said that back then, most of the shops in Dongyi City were occupied by Western merchants. It was only after Ye Qingmei and Uncle Wuzhu opened a business here and developed goods such as glass and mirrors that were cheaper than theirs that they were able to overpower the Western merchants. Ye Qingmei also took advantage of this time to accumulate the first batch of people for Qingyutang."

Haitang Duoduo wasn't thinking about that. She rolled her eyes and said, "Then where are the delicious things you mentioned before?"

Leng Feibai raised an eyebrow slightly after hearing this and deliberately said, "If you act cute with me, I'll tell you."

"Childish devil!"

Haitang Duoduo rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Tell me if you want, or don't. If you don't want to, I'm going back to chat with Si Lili."

Upon hearing this, Leng Feibai was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "What? Your little junior nephew brought the Empress with him. What does she want?"

At this point, something flashed through Leng Feibai's mind as if by lightning.

In the original novel, Zhan Doudou is a woman who is attractive to both men and women.

Besides fighting Fan Xian all night in Dongyi City, he also did some things with Si Lili that cannot be discussed in detail.

However, since the world I live in is based on the TV series, this absurd setting probably doesn't exist.

Therefore, Si Lili believes that she is still a virgin.

Thinking of this, Leng Feibai immediately cut off the memories in his mind and pulled Haitang Duoduo forward.

The two had only walked a short distance down the street when they saw a crowd gathered in front of them.

Leng Feibai and his companion immediately became interested and found a relatively high spot to look over.

Then a man dressed in strange clothes, with his face painted in bright colors as if he had been coated with paint, was performing magic tricks on the street.

"It's those Western monks!"

Seeing this, Haitang Duoduo said speechlessly, "The martial arts of these people are just some fancy illusions. They look good, but in reality, they're all show and no substance. They're all show and no substance."

As soon as Haitang Duoduo finished speaking, two balls of flame appeared out of thin air in the palm of the Western monk, who then tossed them into the air.

The next moment, flames appeared out of thin air and danced wildly in the sky.

The flames rapidly changed, revealing various forms of fierce beasts such as fire dragons, fire phoenixes, and fire qilin, which soared and charged through the air, drawing gasps and cheers from the onlookers.

Then all the beasts gathered together, exploding like fireworks, and coalescing into a magnificent and colorful character.

The Western writing systems in this world are not the same as the English that Leng Feibai learned, so he couldn't understand what these characters meant.

As soon as the characters disappeared, the onlookers immediately applauded. Seeing this, the Western monk raised his hand to signal the crowd to be quiet, took out a bamboo basket from behind him, and opened the lid.

“Kabusra, yare yare, Oxyakkadori…”

The Western monk chanted a few incantations that the people around him couldn't understand. At that moment, a rope flew out of the bamboo basket, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the clouds.

"The Immortal's Rope!"

Leng Feibai rubbed his eyes, a look of joy appearing on his usually calm face. "I never expected to see such a legendary trick here!"

Seeing this, Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but say, "What's with that expression? It's just a rope!"

"Dodo!"

Leng Feibai gestured for Haitang Duoduo to look up, "But can a rope float in mid-air without any support?"

Seeing this, Haitang Duoduo also became curious and shaded her eyes with her hand to look over.

Just as Haitang Duoduo was about to go up and take a look, Leng Feibai stopped her and gestured for her to continue looking.

Just then, the Western monk raised his hand and a white cloud swirled in his palm, suddenly flying towards the end of the rope in the sky.

Having completed all preparations, the Western monk grabbed the suspended rope and, in a few quick movements, soared into the clouds in the sky.

The next moment, the rope was pulled into the clouds, and the clouds took on different shapes in the air, moving back and forth.

Just as everyone was watching, a roar came from somewhere.

"Instead of doing your job, you're just playing tricks here!"

As soon as he said that, Leng Feibai's expression hardened. He recognized the voice all too well; it was clearly the voice of Si Gu Jian.

The next moment, a sword aura cleaved through the air from a large mountain outside Dongyi City and landed directly on the cloud.

"boom"

The clouds were instantly shattered by the sword energy, and pieces of severed limbs and remains fell from mid-air, landing directly on the ground.

The onlookers were so frightened by this that they fled in all directions, leaving only Leng Feibai and Haitang Duoduo behind.

Leng Feibai frowned upon seeing this, stepped forward to take a look, and then turned to Haitang Duoduo, saying, "It's not a corpse, it's a scarecrow!"

"Was that sword energy only at the ninth rank?"

Haitang Duoduo frowned and said, "But the voice clearly belongs to Si Gu Jian. What exactly does he want to do?"

"Is he trying to pretend he's unharmed, or is he trying to feign weakness and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop?"

Leng Feibai frowned and said, "It's because Si Gu Jian is about to die that he's throwing a tantrum."

"I guess it's not Si Gu Jian!"

Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but say, "If it really is him, that Western monk..."

"wrong!"

Leng Feibai felt that things were not so simple. Although Western mages could manipulate natural elements, their close combat ability was very poor.

According to Shadow, he could kill mages of equal strength with ease.

But that guy just now...

Thinking of this, Leng Feibai immediately used the Emperor's Aura Observation Technique to investigate the surroundings. He quickly discovered a fellow whose aura closely resembled that of the Western sorcerer from before, who was fleeing rapidly in a certain direction.
