Chapter 434: Pleasure-Seeking?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Among the many courtyards in Celestial Pavilion, there was an extremely clear pool. From each of the independent courtyards, there was a long path leading to the central area of the pool, where the guests in Celestial Pavilion could enjoy delicious meals. It was called the Fairy Pool. Of course, outsiders could also come to the Fairy Pool to have a meal, but it would be very costly. Nevertheless, there were still many people drinking and chatting at the Fairy Pool at the moment. The large Divine Sky City clearly had many rich people.
Today, Jiang Nan was also generous for once and invited several of his college mates to the Fairy Pool to enjoy themselves.
“This environment… I feel like I am having a meal in a fairyland,” a person complimented. He looked at a platform at the center of the Fairy Pool where a group of ladies was dancing gracefully. Their white clothes and long dresses sw.a.n.g elegantly in the air. In the middle of the group, there was a flawless lady whose face was covered in fine gauze. As she played the guqin, the melodious music spread out, relaxing many. With such an environment, it was no wonder that Celestial Pavilion would charge so much to have a meal here.
“Senior, we have to thank you for having the chance to experience the environment in Celestial Pavilion.” Another person smiled.
A complacent expression appeared on Jiang Nan’s face. Looking at w.a.n.g Yuqing, he smiled and asked, “Yuqing, what do you think about this place?” His main purpose today was to treat w.a.n.g Yuqing.
“It’s indeed gorgeous,” w.a.n.g Yuqing nodded. Even the ladies who were playing the guqin and dancing were extremely charming. Beside the Fairy Pool, there were also several arched bridges which held a few independent attics in the air, producing a beautiful sight.
“The banquet at the Fairy Pool is all made up of expensive delicacies. The wines and dishes here are all mixed with Dragon Gra.s.s and can benefit cultivation greatly. It’s not just the environment here that is outstanding. Ordinary people may not even have the chance to come here once in their whole life,” Jiang Nan said, smiling. He looked at the independent attics on the arched bridges and added, “The people who can eat in those attics are definitely those with n.o.ble status. They can see us from there, but we cannot see what is happening in the attics.”
“Okay,” w.a.n.g Yuqing nodded gently, wondering what kind of people would be in the attics. She then looked in the other directions. There were many people in the Fairy Pool, but the place was really huge and s.p.a.cious. Every table would occupy a lot of s.p.a.ce and they would not be affected by the people from the other tables at all.
The people who were present all had an outstanding temperament.
Suddenly, a wave of noise erupted in the quiet environment. Many people looked in that direction and saw a large group of people walking in from the path in the distance.
The person at the front of the group was actually a girl who was about 13 or 14 years old. Clearly, her position was extraordinary.
“She’s the dragon girl from West Mountain. She’s actually here. Could it really be that Celestial Pavilion was bought to give her?” someone asked.
“West Mountain girl dragon?” Jiang Nan, w.a.n.g Yuqing, and their friends all looked in that direction. Noticing the grandeur of the girl, they sighed in their hearts. They had heard that the girl dragon would also enter Starry School to cultivate in the following year. By that time, she could be considered as their juniors. However, in Divine Sky City such a relations.h.i.+p was too common and not special at all.
w.a.n.g Yuqing and her friends knew that the little princess from West Mountain Dragon Clan was someone in a completely different world from them.
w.a.n.g Yuqing was from one of the four major clans in Yunyue City. However, her background was really insignificant in front West Mountain Dragon Clan, just like the difference between an elephant and an ant.
The dragon girl was someone whom she could not seek connections with even if she wanted to.
“I think that’s the management team of Celestial Pavilion. Why is the dragon girl gathering all of them?” someone asked softly. They suddenly had a weird thought. Could it be that buying Celestial Pavilion was not the suggestion of the Dragon Clan, but the capricious decision of the dragon girl?
“I actually heard some rumors. When Dragon Clan bought Celestial Pavilion, there were no orders given from West Mountain itself. Instead, the order was given directly from West Court, causing this to happen,” someone said, smiling. A strange expression appeared on the face of everyone. Many people knew that the dragon girl was cultivating in West Court at the moment. If the order was given from West Court, it was really very probable that she was the one who had decided to buy Celestial Pavilion.
After the dragon girl and the group of people left the place and walked into the deeper parts of Celestial Pavilion, someone asked, “Why is she buying Celestial Pavilion?”
“I heard that she wanted to give it to someone as a gift,” the person just now replied, smiling.
“A gift?” The expressions on everyone’s faces turned even stranger. It was really extravagant to give Celestial Pavilion as a gift. However, the dragon girl was only 13 to 14 years old. Why was she giving Celestial Pavilion to someone?”
Many people could not understand why. Jiang Nan who was sitting there smiled and said, “The world of the dragon girl is something that we do not understand, and can never understand.”
“You’re right there,” someone said.
Then, everyone returned to enjoying their food. Why should they care about so many things?
…
At the moment, Ye Futian was waiting outside Celestial Pavilion instead of following Long Ling’er inside.
In the distance, there was a long tweet. The Black Wind Condor, with three people on its back, descended from the sky and landed before Ye Futian. It was exactly Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, and Lou Lanxue.
The Black Wind Condor and Ye Futian were connected through their minds. Before Ye Futian reached, he already ordered the Black Wind Condor to bring his friends here.
“Didn’t you decide not to stay here?” Loulan Xue asked Ye Futian.
That day, after Ye Futian saw the price, he decided to leave himself. “Now we are going to,” Ye Futian said, smiling. “Let’s go.”
The three looked at Ye Futian with a strange expression. Then, Loulan Xue took a step forward and said, “That day after you were brought away, I asked around and found out that the group of people was from West Mountain Dragon Clan. The girl is the young princess of the Dragon Clan, which is a top clan in Divine Sky City.”
“West Mountain Dragon Clan.” Ye Futian seemed to have heard of this name before. The group walked into Celestial Pavilion, where one of Long Ling’er maidservants was waiting for him. Noticing Ye Futian’s arrival, she shouted, “Mr. Ye.” Then, she turned around and said to a lady beside her, “Lead the way.”
The lady was about 20 years old and looked pure and cute. Her name was Shen Yu and she worked in Celestial Pavilion. When Shen Yu saw Ye Futian, she managed to recognize him and his friends at once. After all, they had left a deep impression in her mind the last time.
A few days ago, Ye Futian and his friends came to Celestial Pavilion and said that they were going to stay here. However, after she told them the price, Ye Futian said that cultivators had to endure suffering and should not enjoy themselves too much, after which he turned around and left. Immediately, she could not help but burst into laughter. However, at the moment, Ye Futian was looking at her with a faint smile, just like how she looked at him on that day. Because of this, she did not really dare to look at Ye Futian directly. After all, the maidservant had come with the people from the Dragon Clan just now, who was also the owner of Celestial Pavilion at the moment.
“Alright,” she nodded gently, not daring to look into Ye Futian’s eyes. Then, she turned around and led the way.
Shen Yu walked at the front and her heart raced in anxiety. Without her realizing it, Ye Futian walked up to her. Smiling, he asked, “What’s your name?”
“My name is Shen Yu.” Shen Yu lowered her head, not daring to look at Ye Futian.
“I’m Ye Futian.”
“Okay,” Shen Yu nodded gently.
“Do you feel very hot? Why is your face red?” Ye Futian asked, smiling.
Hearing Ye Futian’s words, Shen Yu’s face turned even redder as she explained softly, “Maybe I do feel very hot.”
The maidservant beside them looked at them with a strange expression. What were they talking about? Loulan Xue and Yu Sheng both looked at Ye Futian in contempt. What a bad taste… Clearly, he was deliberately teasing Shen Yu.
The group walked along the long path and Shen Yu kept her head down throughout the way. That event that happened that day made her feel really awkward at the moment. She was also guessing the relations.h.i.+p between Ye Futian and West Mountain Dragon Clan.
Suddenly, someone shouted, “Ye Futian.”
Ye Futian stopped and looked along the path when he saw a few familiar faces at the banquet at the Fairy Pool. It was w.a.n.g Yuqing and Jiang Nan.
“Why are you here?” w.a.n.g Yuqing asked. She knew clearly what kind of place Celestial Pavilion was. Ye Futian actually appeared before her at the moment.
Apart from w.a.n.g Yuqing, a strange expression also appeared on the faces of Jiang Nan and his college mates.
“I plan to stay here for a few days,” Ye Futian replied.
“A few days?” w.a.n.g Yuqing’s face darkened at once. Even with her level and status, she had never dared to enter Celestial Pavilion. On the other hand, Ye Futian was going to stay here for a few days.
“Are you mad? Do you know how much it costs to stay here for a day?” w.a.n.g Yuqing said, staring at Ye Futian. “I brought you to Divine Sky City for you to cultivate, not to seek pleasure. If you become addicted to it, how can you become stronger?”
Jiang Nan also seemed to be interested in what was happening. This idiot actually came to Celestial Pavilion to stay.
“Is this called enjoying while you can?” He was indeed an interesting guy.
“My grandfather asked me to take care of you, but you character is actually so poor!” w.a.n.g Yuqing was somewhat angry as Ye Futian was wasting his resources in Celestial Pavilion. In her opinion, Ye Futian was clearly seeking pleasure and superficial glory at this place.
