548: Chapter 527 Familiarity (3/4) 548: Chapter 527 Familiarity (3/4) Zhou Heng could be certain that the stars sprinkling their light in the sky were definitely not real stars!
According to Yang Lanxin, the majority of the inhabitants of the Immortal Realm were just mortals, and even though their foundation was far higher than that of the people in the Mortal Realm, mortals were still mortals, and their daily routines were no different from those in the Mortal Realm.
They rose with the sunrise and rested with the sunset, as if these were the rules set by the mighty beings of the Immortal Realm, dictating when to move and when to rest.
This was not just a visual change; in fact, it had a substantial impact even on immortals.
After the day and night transitioned, Zhou Heng suddenly felt a wave of fatigue, and although he could completely resist it, he would definitely feel like crawling into bed and sleeping soundly if he ignored it.
Impressive!
Zhou Heng inwardly exclaid, marveling at the mysterious and unfathomable thods of this mighty being!
If he was affected, then Yang Lanxin, whose spiritual power was restrained, was naturally affected even more, quickly becoming extrely drowsy.
With her eyes unable to stay open on his back, she said in a sweet and coquettish voice, “Zhou Heng, let’s find a place to sleep for the night!”
Zhou Heng’s heart swayed the instant he heard her.
He had been afflicted by Charm Poison before and had beco fiercely lustful in front of this seductive woman, enacting a live erotic performance.
Since she had seen it all, as a full-fledged man, he only had one way to handle this situation.
That was to take Yang Lanxin for himself!
Whether Yang Lanxin was willing was not his concern anymore.
It’s just that right now, this seductive woman looked like an annoying fat woman, and Zhou Heng shivered at the thought of her appearance.
He said, “At the very least, find a cave, or better yet, find an ordinary family to stay with and get sothing to eat.”
He didn’t care much for himself, but since Yang Lanxin had lost her cultivation level, and he had co to regard this seductive woman as his own, he naturally wanted to provide her with a comfortable environnt as much as possible.
Luckily, after Zhou Heng crossed over a mountain peak, a valley appeared ahead, shaded with green trees and featuring a small pond, beside which stood a large house.
Though still over ten miles away, with Zhou Heng’s current sensitivity of Divine Sense, even in a place like the Immortal City where gravity was abnormally strong, he could still scan the area clearly.
There were five people inside the house; two had the aura of the Moonlight King, while the others were only at the level of Half-Step Immortals.
Zhou Heng really didn’t believe there was a Moonlight King in the world more talented than him.
Thus, carrying Yang Lanxin on his back, he leaped down from the mountaintop, and after a few bounds, they entered the valley and arrived in front of the large house.
“Who goes there?” Imdiately, three n rushed out.
The one leading them appeared to be in his forties and had the cultivation level of a Moonlight King.
The other two were young n, both in the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Zhou Heng bowed slightly, as his hands were supporting Yang Lanxin’s buttocks and he could not perform a full bow; he could only bend his waist as a gesture, saying, “My wife and I were looking for Spirit Grass in the mountains, but my spouse is feeling a bit weak.
Could you allow us to stay for one night and have sothing to eat?”
The two young n said nothing, only staring at the middle-aged man, who in turn was fixedly looking into Zhou Heng’s eyes.
Zhou Heng’s heart was clear, and he t the man’s gaze openly and honestly.
“When one travels, there are always inconveniences.
Please co in!
Although my humble ho does not have any delicacies, we can still provide a warm al,” said the middle-aged man, revealing a smile.
“Thank you,” said Zhou Heng sincerely.
Outside the large house was a vegetable field, planted with so plants Zhou Heng had never seen before.
After passing through it, they entered the house.
The main hall was simple, with a long table where two won were preparing the al.
One of the won looked to be in her forties and had the charm of a mature woman.
She must have been very beautiful when she was younger.
She was the other Moonlight King.
The other was a green young girl, around fourteen or fifteen, bearing a resemblance to the mature woman and giving Zhou Heng a strangely familiar feeling.
How odd.
“Please sit down!” said the middle-aged man to Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin with a smile, while introducing himself and his family.
“My na is Lan Tianhe, this is my wife Mu Fangyan.
These are my eldest son Lan Zixian, my second son Lan Zide, and my daughter Lan Wuyue.”
“I am Zhou Heng, and this is my spouse, Yang Lanxin!” Zhou Heng did not hide his or Yang Lanxin’s identities, as he saw sincerity in this family.
“Haha, let’s eat!” Lan Tianhe gestured grandly, while Mu Fangyan and Lan Wuyue brought over a pair of chopsticks for both Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin, and all seven of them began to eat.
Although the Lan family lived in this remote mountainous area, they did not carry an air of rusticity.
Their conversation revealed generosity.
However, they did not probe into Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin’s backgrounds, and naturally, Zhou Heng did not inquire about their origins either.
Everyone has their own secrets, their own difficulties, and their own missions.
As they chatted and shared stories, Zhou Heng did not reveal much about Yang Lanxin’s past but did not hide the fact that he had just ascended to the Immortal Realm.
This piqued the curiosity of the three Lan siblings, who kept asking about interesting things from the Mortal Realm.
Zhou Heng recounted so of his experiences, which not only had Lan Wuyue and the other two young people exclaiming in astonishnt, but even Yang Lanxin was sowhat enthralled.
Although she already knew Zhou Heng’s background, she had never heard him talk about his experiences in the Mortal Realm.
The dinner lasted for a full two hours before the host and guests were satisfied.
Lan Tianhe arranged a bedroom for Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin.
It was Lan Zixian’s room, which he had vacated for Zhou Heng and his wife, as he would bunk with Lan Zide for the night.
“This family is not bad,” said Yang Lanxin as she hogged the bed, while Zhou Heng sat cross-legged on the ground.
If Yang Lanxin had returned to her original appearance, Zhou Heng, with his thick skin, would definitely have squeezed in with her, but the sight of her as a fat woman completely dissuaded his appetite.
He sighed secretly, wishing he had restored her appearance first before coming here.
Now, if she suddenly changed her appearance, it would look like he had intentionally deceived the Lan family.
Zhou Heng nodded and said, “Even though it was just a al and a night’s shelter, we must not forget this kindness!”
There was no further talk that night, and the next morning after breakfast, Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin bid farewell to the Lan Family.
The Lan Family’s young girl was very reluctant to see them leave.
She escorted them a long way, only parting ways reluctantly with her father when they were almost a thousand miles away.
The young girl was too enthusiastic and even gave Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin a heap of snacks.
In the end, she even made hats out of fresh flowers for each of them.
Despite Yang Lanxin’s ambitious nature and her usual practice of only associating with others based on their usefulness, she was deeply touched by the young girl’s gesture.
“You better not start crying!” Zhou Heng said with a laugh.
“Hmph, do I seem like the indecisive type to you?” Yang Lanxin responded with an intentionally cold face.
Zhou Heng didn’t say much more and just gazed out at the real mountains and water of the Immortal Realm.
He had been too preoccupied with escaping the day before to truly appreciate the scenery of the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm was beautiful, and also very magnificent and filled with a prival charm.
Due to the rich spiritual energy, the trees here were extrely tall, with many reaching a hundred ters, while the tallest could even reach a thousand ters!
And this was just Hai Immortal City—the spiritual energy beca even denser the higher one went.
One could imagine that in Zi Immortal City, there might be trees that reached ten thousand ters, truly sky-high trees.
Zhou Heng swept his Divine Intent around, and within just the nearby vicinity discovered at least seven Spirit Fruits.
If in the Lower Realm, these would be of trendous aid even to a Half-Step Immortal’s cultivation level, yet here they seed as common as dirt.
It truly was a land of abundance!
Seeing this, Zhou Heng suddenly felt a strong yearning to bring all his friends and family from the Mortal Realm over to this place, to use these Spirit Fruits and Immortal Herbs to enhance their cultivation levels.
A single day of cultivation in the Immortal Realm was equivalent to a year, or even longer, in the Mortal Realm!
“What are you thinking about?” As soone used to being in a position of power, Yang Lanxin had a strong ability to read expressions and emotions.
“I was thinking about your father-in-law and mother-in-law,” Zhou Heng casually said.
Yang Lanxin was initially startled and then quickly understood, her pretty face imdiately blushing.
Twisting her waist, she put on an angry deanor and retorted, “Who agreed to marry you?”
Unfortunately, her current form was that of a plump woman, and what should have been a charming pout instantly beca quite frightening.
Luckily for Zhou Heng, he was carrying her on his back and, to avoid upsetting his own stomach, he wasn’t using his Divine Intent to look at her, thus narrowly avoiding disaster.
He laughed and said, “Just a few days ago you examined thoroughly, now you’re trying to shrug off the responsibility?”
What loss does a man have from being seen naked?
By that logic, if you fancy a woman, all you need to do is strip in front of her and she has no choice but to marry you?
Isn’t that just illogical and forceful?
“Thick-skinned!” Yang Lanxin rebuked, but the reluctance in her voice wasn’t as strong; it even bordered on being coy.
Her modesty far outweighed her opposition to the idea.
Zhou Heng chuckled heartily; he had this seductive woman right where he wanted her, within his control!
The two traveled through dense forests and wide rivers and, after two full days, finally a city appeared in the distance.
It was more appropriate to call it a marketplace than a city, a super-huge marketplace with no walls surrounding it and no guards stationed.
It was completely defenseless.
“This is indeed rely a marketplace but I wonder which power it belongs to,” Yang Lanxin remarked.
Zhou Heng had also co to understand a bit about the situation in the Immortal Realm.
Each Immortal City continent was divided into countless regions, each dominated by various powers, big and small.
In the Immortal Cities, there was almost no tal, but they had extrely rich spiritual energy to grow Immortal Valley and Immortal Herbs.
Therefore, after the powers secured their territories and population, they would grow Immortal Herbs as a ans of wealth.
This marketplace was probably for trading these goods.
Zhou Heng, with Yang Lanxin in tow, entered the marketplace.
It was bustling, with swarms of people on the streets, and every person had a high cultivation level; even newborn babies reached the Mountains and Rivers Realm!
Indeed, without such cultivation levels, how could they withstand such terrifying gravitational forces?
After walking so distance, Zhou Heng suddenly stopped, his face filled with surprise.
Because he saw a shop with a na… he knew all too well.
Heavenly Treasure Pavilion!
