Chapter 865: Out From Closed-Door Meditation, Lazy To Deal With Him, Guqin Music And Sword Dance
Outside the Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom.
On a planet, a young man with sword-like eyebrows and a starry gaze was sitting cross-legged. His energy was flowing, and countless starlights surrounded him.
All of a sudden, the young man opened his eyes.
A ray of light flashed across the air, shattering countless starlights.
He stood up, looked in the direction of the Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom, and snorted. “Chu Kuangren, the Sword Poet Immortal, you’re finally out from your closed-door meditation!”
The young man was Zi Tianhen, Planet Zi’s Seat who challenged Chu Kuangren.
He knew Chu Kuangren was out from his closed-door meditation.
Not only him, but all the forces received the news as well. Everyone looked in the direction of the city lord’s mansion, keen to see how Chu Kuangren was planning to deal with it.
“It seems like this fight is imperative for Zi Tianhen.”
“That’s for sure. Planet Zi won’t give Chu Kuangren a break because he killed Zi Ying, and Zi Tianhen is taking revenge.”
“It depends how far Chu Kuangren’s strength has reached. Since Zi Tianhen has broken through to a Great Daoist Celestial, his strength is not as Zi Ying’s.”
“That’s right…”
Few Emperor Thoughts were communicating in the void.
The city lord’s mansion immediately became everyone’s focal point.
To be more precise, Chu Kuangren became the crowd’s focus.
“Brother Chu, what are you planning to do?” asked G.o.dly Moon Daoist Celestial upon seeing Chu Kuangren.
“Heh. What do you mean? Just ignore it.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
“Just ignore it?”
“Yes. If I accept every Immortal Progeny’s challenge, just how busy will I be then?” said Chu Kuangren.
He did not take Zi Tianhen seriously at all.
Moreover, he was too lazy to respond to the challenge.
For the next few days, he stayed in the city lord’s mansion reading, drinking, and sometimes visiting the attractions in the Ancient G.o.dly City.
To the others, it looked like he was living a relaxing and comfortable life.
In truth, only Chu Kuangren’s Heaven Soul was relaxing. His Earth Soul and h.e.l.l Soul were battling in the Astral Illusory Realm, performing the two great Esoteric Arts.
However, n.o.body knew about that.
A few days had pa.s.sed.
Chu Kuangren still did not respond to the challenge.
For a moment, the entire Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom began discussing.
“The Immortal Progeny Zi Tianhen has challenged Chu Kuangren, but Chu Kuangren is still so laid back. Does he not care about Zi Tianhen?”
“Could he be afraid?”
“Afraid?”
“Exactly. The one challenging him is Planet Zi’s Second Seat, the Great Daoist Celestial Zi Tianhen. He’s too afraid to accept the challenge but too embarra.s.sed to say so. That is why he’s using this way to cover up his weakness.”
Some cultivators said with certainty. With the help of those who came up with it, the story of Chu Kuangren not responding to the challenge because he was weak spread throughout the Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom. Chu Kuangren’s reputation almost fell to the bottom.
“Sword Poet Immortal? It’s all fake and bullsh*t.”
“Heh. He’s an Immortal Progeny, yet he doesn’t dare to accept the challenge. He has the poise of an Immortal, but not the heart of an immortal.”
“Indeed. So disappointing.”
“Chu Kuangren? The name was for nothing.”
Rumors slandered Chu Kuangren from everywhere.
On that day.
Chu Kuangren was drinking in the largest brothel in the Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom, and a group of beautiful female dancers was dancing gracefully in front of him.
It was Breeze Lunar Mansion.
Besides being the largest brothel, it was also the largest gold squandering establishment in the Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom. However, Chu Kuangren had plenty of spiritual marrows and did not mind spending them.
He was not a poor cultivator.
Occasionally, he enjoyed moments of relaxation, just like what he was doing right now.
He was enjoying music with a gla.s.s of wine in hand and watching stunning beauties dancing in front of him. He found it very pleasing.
“Reward.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
With a wave of his hand, million catties of spiritual marrows were rewarded to the beauties.
“Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master.”
Beside Chu Kuangren, a plump and beautiful woman was smiling from ear to ear. She was the owner of Breeze Lunar Mansion.
She looked at the spendthrift Chu Kuangren with twinkling eyes.
Although she had heard about the rumors, none of it was important to her.
In Breeze Lunar Mansion, women cared about spiritual marrows and not any challenges or Immortal Progenies.
As a handsome man who had plenty of spiritual marrows and spent extravagantly, Chu Kuangren was Breeze Lunar Mansion’s perfect customer.
“Come, Master. Let’s have a toast again.”
Breeze Lunar Mansion’s Madam raised a flagon to fill Chu Kuangren’s gla.s.s up.
“Madam, your Boundless Breeze Lunar is simply the best in Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom.” Chu Kuangren looked at the wine gla.s.s in his hand and chuckled.
Boundless Breeze Lunar was the most expensive wine in Breeze Lunar Mansion.
Chu Kuangren fell in love with it the first time he tasted it. He even asked Lil Ai to a.n.a.lyze it so that he could brew it when he had the time.
It would be wonderful if he could have a couple of mouthfuls whenever he felt like drinking it.
“That’s for sure. Those who come to the Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom must do two things. First is to visit the Moon Gazing Platform to see the Moon Wheel Secret Realm, and second is to visit Breeze Lunar Mansion for a flagon of Boundless Breeze Lunar.”
Breeze Lunar Mansion’s Madam said proudly.
Then, she smiled and said to Chu Kuangren beside her, “By the way, Lil Yue and a few others have come up with a new dance. Would you like to see it, Master?”
“Oh, sure.” Chu Kuangren nodded.
Breeze Lunar Mansion’s Madam clapped her hand once.
In an instant, a new group of female dancers appeared on the stage.
They bowed to Chu Kuangren and then started dancing.
Each of the female dancers held a sword. Their movements were light and graceful like a swan’s. However, there was a boldness to it when the sword ray flickered and the sound of golden jade echoed.
“Nice dance, but where’s the music?” asked Chu Kuangren.
“Lil Yue and the rest have only just created this dance. They haven’t found suitable music for it yet,” said Breeze Lunar Mansion’s Madam.
“A dance without music is like a fly in the ointment. Let me add the last touch.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
He lifted his hand and grabbed a guqin not far from him. As soon as his fingers plucked the strings, graceful guqin music rang out.
Beside him, the Breeze Lunar Mansion’s Madam’s eyes lit up.
Master Chu could play the guqin too?
The majestic guqin music blended well with the female dancers’ dance.
One played the music while the others danced.
Chu Kuangren and the female dancers complemented each other perfectly.
“This guqin music… I’m afraid Master Chu knows more than this!” Breeze Lunar Mansion’s Madam was infatuated by such a sight.
When she looked at his face, she could not help but become smitten with Chu Kuangren.
The guqin music echoed all around and spread out from Breeze Lunar Mansion.
Many people heard the guqin music.
“This guqin music… Who? Who is playing it?”
“It’s from Breeze Lunar Mansion. Could it be Breeze Lunar Mansion’s guqin master?”
“This guqin music is majestic and profound. It looks like Breeze Lunar Mansion has found itself a guqin expert. Let’s go and have a look.”
Many people were attracted by the guqin music, and they all headed toward Breeze Lunar Mansion.
In the Breeze Lunar Mansion, the female dancers danced along to the guqin music. With their swaying bodies and the sword ray everywhere, it was a dazzling and mesmerizing sight to behold.
The pitch of the guqin music was getting higher and higher while the movement of sword dance became bigger and bigger.
For a moment there, it seemed like thousands of troops were fighting and that the group of female dancers had incarnated as battlefield generals who were not inferior to men at all.
The cultivators that came to Breeze Lunar Mansion were shocked to see the scene.
The female dancers stopped dancing when the guqin music stopped playing.
Their faces were flushed, and sweat was dripping all over them. However, their eyes were brighter than ever. The dance just now was the most enjoyable and well-performed dance in their lives. It felt as if humans and nature were one.
“As dazzling as Yi shooting the nine suns and as graceful as a group of emperors riding dragons in the sky. The dance started with a breathtaking bang and ended calmly…”
Chu Kuangren’s voice sounded.
He looked at the female dancers with admiration and then raised his gla.s.s of wine. “Fantastic dance.. Allow me to propose a toast to you all!”
