Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"Young Master Chen, this way please."

Following the gesture of the servant from Lei Tian Casino, Chen Ran, the young master of the city lord's mansion, stepped into the room with proper steps, followed by two guards carrying magical artifacts and possessing considerable strength.

Upon seeing Chen Ran enter, Zhong Tianying knew that etiquette was essential, so he stood up from his chair, made a circular motion with his hands, and bowed with his fists clasped.

"Young Master Chen Ran, how have you been?"

"Young Master Zhong, I hope I'm really alright." Chen Ran plopped down in the chair directly opposite Zhong Tianying, slumping on the spot like a deflated balloon.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"Sigh..." Chen Ran sighed, then shook his head: "There's no point in saying more, Young Master Zhong, you should see for yourself."

After saying that, he lifted the bangs that were covering his right eye, revealing his bluish-purple eye socket.

Zhong Tianying looked closely and saw that Chen Ran's entire eye looked as if it had been punched hard, and the blood vessels and meridians around his right eye had been broken!

If Chen Ran hadn't been at the Xuanmen stage of cultivation and had spiritual energy supporting him, his right eye would have been completely blind by now!

What surprised him even more was that his two guards, both at the Spirit Platform stage, were also seriously injured, with fractures and even shattering in various parts of their bodies.

How is this going? !

"This...this...Young Master Chen, could it be that someone attacked you?!"

"you do not say!"

Chen Ran's tone was exceptionally aggrieved; despite being a man, he looked like he was about to cry.

"We got beaten up by a little wench. That wench was really fierce. If I hadn't desperately protected my manhood, that kick of hers would have wiped out our city lord's mansion!"

I'm not feeling well today, and I have a lot of things to take care of, so there will be fewer updates.

(I'll reveal more another day)

32. Looking for friends

Chen Ran is naturally a womanizer and loves to cause trouble. His habit of targeting respectable women is something that not only Zhong Tianying knows, but almost everyone in Jinglin City knows.

Relying on his father being the lord of Jinglin City, he idles away his days doing nothing. When he encounters a girl he likes, he doesn't care whether she is willing or not, and he throws a handful of gold coins at her. Occasionally, he will even do despicable things like snatching people away.

Zhong Tianying once jokingly said that if he insisted on doing so, he would eventually fall for a woman.

—I never expected that a woman would actually dare to lay a hand on him.

His words were largely a joke, after all, Chen Ran was practically all-powerful in Jinglin City. Even Tianbei Valley and their Leiyu Sect had some respect for Chen Ran, or more accurately, some respect for his status.

Both Leitian Casino and Beishan Mine in Tianbei Valley need to rely on the power of the City Lord's Mansion. It can be said that the City Lord's Mansion is the mainstay behind these two major sects. How could they dare to provoke the son of the mainstay's leader?

Unless someone is tired of living and wants to be humiliated and killed by a city lord in the Transcendental stage.

The "little sissy" Chen Ran was referring to was clearly a prime example of someone who disliked having too long a life.

"Who is this 'little wench' you're talking about? She's capable of injuring your two protectors, so she must be quite strong, at least at the Spirit Platform stage, right?"

"The Spirit Platform stage?" Chen Ran licked his lips. "If I were really just at the Spirit Platform stage, would I need to come here?"

"So, what does Young Master Chen mean..."

"That little vixen is incredibly powerful! With every move she makes, her aura completely overwhelms my two protectors. Moreover, back in the tavern, she sent us flying with just one move. Her strength must be at least at the peak of the Transformation stage!"

"Peak Transformation? No, Young Master Chen, don't joke with me. The combined number of Peak Transformation cultivators in my Thunder Feather Sect and Heavenly North Valley is no more than ten. Although there are women among them, none of them are the sissies you're talking about."

If I had to say something, it would be that he's an old woman—he, Chen Ran, would never be interested in a woman in her seventies or eighties!

"Heh! That's why I came here to find Young Master Zhong. Your Lei Tian Casino is incredibly wealthy, so how about... you help us find that girl? I'm not kidding, Young Master Zhong, even you would be rock solid if you saw that woman!"

When the topic turned to girls, Chen Ran's eyes lit up, and he practically drooled.

Zhong Tianying smirked, thinking to himself, "If you hadn't come looking for me now, I would have already taken care of that casino dealer's girl. Now you're just here rambling on about nothing."

He had seen plenty of beautiful women and was a worldly man, so Zhong Tianying naturally didn't take Chen Ran's exaggerated statement to heart.

"Alright, I'll agree to Mr. Chen's request for now. Could you describe what the woman looks like?"

"Her attire was rather unique, unlike that of a local noble family. All I can remember is her light blue short skirt and the black stockings that covered her stunningly beautiful legs. But her face was absolutely exquisite; she was definitely a peerless beauty!"

Thinking of the woman he had met once before, Chen Ran's eyes were full of excitement, but a hint of regret also crept in.

He sighed and added, "It's just a pity that her breasts are too flat, lacking a tiny bit of femininity."

"Flat-chested?!"

Zhong Tianying suddenly jumped up from his chair, his eyes wide open, staring at Chen Ran in disbelief.

Chen Ran was also startled by his action and immediately showed concern.

"W-What's wrong, Young Master Zhong? That woman...you don't know her, do you?"

Zhong Tianying stared intently at Chen Ran and asked, "Was there a man and a woman with that woman? The man was dressed in white and was fairly good-looking, while the woman was rather thin and wore strange black and white clothing?"

Chen Ran frowned when suddenly asked these questions, and subconsciously glanced at his two protectors.

He hadn't noticed anyone else besides the beautiful woman at the time, and before he could even finish speaking, he was knocked unconscious by the two protectors. He had no recollection of what happened afterward or who he encountered.

But his two protectors do remember him—

"Young Master Chen had already fainted at the time, so he probably didn't know... I remember that I did see the man and woman that Young Master Zhong mentioned."

"Then the beautiful woman that Young Master Chen took a liking to seemed to know them, and it seemed that he called the man 'teacher' and the woman 'junior sister'..."

"Then we were kicked away by that beautiful woman, and we don't know what happened after that."

……

now it's right.

Chen Ran's two protectors were extremely loyal and had no reason to lie.

Unfortunately, he had already obtained several important clues while listening to the young woman from the farming family recount the situation.

One of them was that the young man who won a million gold coins was the teacher of two women, one of whom had an exceptionally flat chest but a particularly exquisite face.

He deduced this clue from Chen Ran's words—

"What a coincidence, what a coincidence, Young Master Chen, I never thought we would have such a coincidence."

"Skillful? What do you mean?"

"Hehe... I suppose Young Master Chen doesn't know yet, but a few troublemakers came to my Thunder Heaven Casino and managed to win a full million gold coins using the Sword Fate Gambling Method on the third floor of my casino. And the people who did this feat are the three that you, Protector, mentioned."

"What?! One million?!"

Even Chen Ran, who was known for his extravagant spending, felt his heart skip a beat and almost couldn't catch his breath when he heard this number.

He had a deep understanding of the dark rules of Lei Tian Casino, and knew that Jian Yuan was a money-grabbing scheme. Let alone making a million, it would be extremely lucky to not lose money.

But that person actually earned almost half a year's worth of profits from Lei Tian Casino...

"Who exactly are those three people?" Chen Ran asked, his eyes wide.

"If only I knew, but I've already sent people to search. Once we have any information about those three, we'll get back to them immediately."

"Great!" Chen Ran stood up excitedly from his chair, his expression proud. "Then I'll go back right away and send people to assist Young Master Zhong in his search. We'll definitely bring those three back!"

"I think you just want to catch your little vixen, don't you?"

"Uh..." Seeing Zhong Tianying's teasing expression, Chen Ran was slightly embarrassed. "Hehehe, nothing can be hidden from Young Master Zhong."

"Don't worry, I'll save that little vixen for you. Just wait and see how you enjoy yourself."

"That's a good feeling!"

Chen Ran raised his glass with both hands and toasted Zhong Tianying without hesitation.

He came here specifically to ask Zhong Tianying for help, but coincidentally, their goals were exactly the same, which saved him a lot of trouble. Offering a toast was just a matter of etiquette.

Zhong Tianying smiled faintly, his displeasure gradually fading away, and he returned to his usual calm and composed demeanor, offering a toast in return.

In this back-and-forth exchange, Chen Ran brought up a new topic.

"Speaking of which, Young Master Zhong, are you aware that the Gong family recently visited the City Lord's Mansion?"

"The Gong family? Which Gong family?"

"Which other family do you think could be personally received by my stubborn father?"

"You mean..." Zhong Tianying exclaimed in surprise, "the Gong family, who are on good terms with the Three Heavens Academy?"

"That's right. And I heard that they came about Tianbei Valley."

"Tianbei Valley?"

Chen Ran looked at Zhong Tianying, whose face was full of confusion, shook his head, and couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that Young Master Zhong's intelligence network is still not good enough. But you will soon find out, because not only our City Lord's Mansion, but the Gong family will also be visiting your Lei Yu Sect in a while."

Why is that?

"It's simple, I'm looking for someone."

"Find someone?"

"Find someone who can personally cripple the future head of the Gong family in Tianbei Valley."

33. Thousand-ren

"It hurts...it hurts so much...can't you go slower...?"

"Who told you to have such hard orifices by birth? Even Yuan'er isn't as hard as you, like a rock."

"Goo—be gentle, do you even know how to write the phrase 'cherish a woman'?"

"Behave yourself and don't move around. It won't hurt in a little while."

"But...it really hurt so much I almost cried! Tears were welling up in the corners of my eyes!"

"That kind of thing is fine no matter what, just bear with it, it'll pass~"

—It's like this.

Strange noises were coming from the courtyard house.
