Chapter 1406: Monsters Appear in the Human World
Chu Chen, with Mu Yanlan in tow, drove slowly into a city.
They skipped over those small towns.
Chu Chen was ostensibly taking Mu Yanlan sightseeing to broaden her horizons.
Actually, he had two other goals in mind: one was to find something that would allow him to break through his limitations.
The other one is to go to Falling Phoenix Valley.
With a super expert by his side who is even more powerful than Zuo Fei, he should be qualified to meet Li Qinglian when he goes to Luofeng Valley.
"Immortal, are you looking for an inn?"
In a super luxurious-looking inn in Muluo City, Chu Chen simply tossed a piece of gold onto the counter.
The shopkeeper behind the counter, seeing that it was gold being thrown at him, immediately wanted to start cursing.
But as soon as he looked up, his expression immediately changed.
Although Luomu City is a place where immortals and mortals mingle, inns of their caliber all use spirit stones for transactions.
Isn't it obvious that this person threw out gold to cause trouble?
The aura emanating from Mu Yanlan made the shopkeeper, who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, immediately become respectful.
"That's right, I want one room, the best of the best."
The innkeeper didn't dare say anything more and simply returned the gold: "Immortal, you great beings should not be charged for your lodging."
After listening, Chu Chen looked at Mu Yanlan beside him. Indeed, no matter what, she was still a mid-stage Tribulation Transcending expert.
It's normal to receive some special treatment.
"In that case, thank you, shopkeeper."
After saying that, Chu Chen pulled Mu Yanlan upstairs.
Mu Yanlan, lacking experience in the secular world, followed behind Chu Chen without uttering a word.
Only after entering the room did she cling to Chu Chen.
"Um... well, let me take you out to find some good food."
Chu Chen was afraid she would start again, after all, Mu Yanlan had shown this intention more than once along the way, so he immediately spoke up.
"It's delicious, let's go!"
Sure enough, in the world of foodies, nothing can compare to a meal.
After listening, Chu Chen led her out of the inn and onto the streets of the city.
Because of Mu Yanlan's imposing aura, cultivators avoided them wherever they went, fearing they might offend this powerful figure.
Ordinary people had long been used to avoiding cultivators, and gradually, Chu Chen discovered a super embarrassing situation.
Wherever they went, there was always an empty space around them, which made them seem isolated.
If things continue like this, let alone experiencing the joys of everyday life, it will be difficult to even connect with people.
So he immediately pulled Mu Yanlan aside: "Yanlan, have you noticed a problem?"
"what?"
"No one dares to come near us wherever we go."
"That's normal. After all, I'm a master at the Tribulation Transcending stage. Who would be so blind as to dare to offend me?"
Mu Yanlan said with some pride after listening.
Chu Chen shook his head: "Then what's the point of coming here to experience the hustle and bustle of life? You might as well go back to the mountains."
Mu Yanlan nodded in agreement after listening. What Chu Chen said made sense. She was just here to have fun, but if she didn't even interact with people, what was the point of having fun?
"What should I do?"
"Um, could you tone down your aura and become a minor cultivator?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yanlan immediately suppressed her aura, and in the next moment, she transformed into an ordinary person.
"It's very simple, just a little concealment technique!"
Looking at Mu Yanlan in front of him, Chu Chen thought to himself that this world of cultivation was really too dangerous. Before, when he was in the Overlord Realm, no one could see through his cultivation level.
Back then, I don't know how many times I pretended to be weak to take advantage of others. It seems that I should always be wary of everyone in the future.
Sure enough, when the two of them became ordinary people again and walked on the street, things were immediately different.
The merchants, laborers, and cultivators, both high and low, turned away as if they were invisible upon seeing the two, their previous fear completely gone.
The two found a noodle stall, sat down, and ordered two large bowls of shredded pork noodles, which they then ate with gusto.
Mu Yanlan also found a sense of everyday life in these changes.
"Chu Chen, you know what, being an ordinary person is pretty good. There's no fighting or killing, and three meals a day are enough."
Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself, "You're only interested in something new for a tiny bit."
Being a person, regardless of social class, presents its own difficulties.
"Are ordinary people really that good? In the eyes of you cultivators, the lives of ordinary people are like weeds, which can be trampled and killed at will. They have to be respectful to cultivators, for fear of offending the so-called immortals."
"You have a point."
"Hehe, you are a high and mighty cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, and you've come here to experience the life of an ordinary person. You can say these words without any scruples. Being a person isn't that easy."
Mu Yanlan nodded in agreement: "Chu Chen, you're really amazing. I'll definitely reward you properly tonight."
Chu Chen: ...No!
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Chu Chen took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table before taking Mu Yanlan's hand and leaving.
Next comes a shopping spree. No woman can resist the temptation of beautiful clothes.
Mu Yanlan was no exception; she had no idea that there were so many beautiful things outside the desolate mountain.
Looking back now, she feels extremely embarrassed that she used to hang around in front of Chu Chen all day wearing only a thin veil.
So, she immediately started a shopping spree. At first, the shopkeepers of the clothing stores ignored her, but when they saw that Mu Yanlan could use the storage bag, their attitude immediately became respectful.
Some audacious merchants even dared to ask for a few spirit stones.
The two of them didn't care about any of this. Although Mu Yanlan had been in the Desolate Mountain, she had robbed many cultivators who had entered the forbidden area of the Desolate Mountain. At this moment, she would be considered a super rich woman in the cultivation world.
Seeing all this, Chu Chen even considered living off a woman.
The two returned laden with their purchases, hand in hand, heading towards the inn. But just as they were walking down the street...
Suddenly, the two saw a commotion ahead.
Immediately afterwards, countless people rushed towards them, shouting as they ran, "Run for your lives! Monsters are eating people..."
Upon seeing this, Mu Yanlan and Chu Chen immediately pulled Chu Chen into the air and looked ahead.
The next moment, Mu Yanlan frowned, grabbed Chu Chen, and rushed forward.
"Fellow Daoist, come quickly and help me! This thing is very strange, it seems to be a demonic cultivator."
