Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System-Chapter 24 Entering Guile City

GOING OUT OF the village, the trio started to tread their way out of the forest. Yang Lujia observed the forest’s surroundings. There were no special anomalies, only the extremely pungent smell of blood in the air pervaded their noses. Unexpectedly, the suburbs of the village were this unpleasant.

He then remembered that this was the Realm of Death, a realm where the Death Rule had been actively present. However, it was oblivious to him that Long Guang’s presence deterred all the other beasts in the forest. As a member of the Dragon Race, only some of the other races could withstand the pressure of a dragon’s aura. Thus, it wasn’t strange for them to be frightened of Long Guang’s blood being superior to theirs.

After walking for almost an hour or two, the trio marched their way into the entrance of Guile City. On the outside, several people were queuing at the entrance. They all looked like rogue cultivators who came from all walks of life. However, this wasn’t what astonished Yang Lujia.

It was the towering fortress that encircled the entire Guile City. It stood higher than the height of the highest recorded tsunami on Earth, if not more. Nonetheless, he found this to be normal. After all, this wasn’t Earth. This was a world of cultivators where everyone could basically do anything magical.

On top of the fortress, there were also guards wearing silver-plated armor with a pair of bows and arrows hanging across their chest and back. It was truly a wondrous sight to see. On Earth, this scene could be said to be non-existent already, at least for him. The guards looked like medieval soldiers while the walls were akin to those of ancient China’s.

“Master… so bigg! Long Guang fly abav?” Long Guang muttered blinkingly at his master.

“No, there are people who are guarding it. When you fly, you will be killed.”

“But Long Guang strong?”

“No, you’re weak.”.

Lin Diyu listened to the banter between master and disciple. He couldn’t help but smile. As they sauntered to the entrance of the city, Yang Lujia paid up for the spirit stones needed for them to enter the city. It actually cost ten spirit stones per person. Nonetheless, to Yang Lujia, it was only a small amount. He could completely afford it.

When they finally entered the city, the trio was surprised. The outskirts of the city were clearly contaminated by the death rule, but this wasn’t the case inside the city. In fact, it was the exact opposite. When Yang Lujia examined the whole city with his mental power, it was actually brimming with the life rule.

“Oh, hello, little brothers. Are you new to Guile City?” a woman with a bunny headband on her head interrupted their thoughts about the city. “I am Lu Daiyu. Welcome to Guile City, little brothers! Do you have a place to stay already? If not, I can guide you to a place!”

When Yang Lujia looked at the woman, he was a bit taken aback. This would be the counterpart appearance of a saleslady in another world. He recalled the woman from a mall he met when he bought a new watch. He subconsciously shivered. Compared to this woman in front of him, that mall woman was clearly the ugliest he had seen. In fact, this woman with a bunny headband had a body shape like no other. With those slim but somewhat plump legs and large protruding bouncy breasts, he knew that if this woman were on Earth, she would have become a model.

However, in this world, she would only become a prostitute in a brothel. He then sighed as he processed all these thoughts.

“Are you taking us to a brothel?” Yang Lujia straightforwardly asked as they continued walking with the woman.

The woman halted her steps and, with wide eyes, stared at Yang Lujia, dumbfounded. “Why does the little brother say so?”

“Your outfit. You look like you work in a brothel,” Yang Lujia commented. “Nevertheless, you’ve got nice looks. If you’re taking us to a brothel, better forget about it. That place is simply suffocating.”

“Little brother, I don’t work… for a brothel…” the woman said, almost teary-eyed. “I work for a rather famous inn in the city.”

Yang Lujia’s eyes gleamed. He didn’t expect this woman to be actually like a walking counter-lady and at the same time a sales lady introducing some customers to something they might want to try or purchase. Looking at her from head to toe again, he was really fascinated. Although he did this, there was no hint of lust in his eyes. Only those discerning pupils peppered the woman’s heart.

“What’s your name again?”

“Lu Daiyu.”

“Okay, then can you act like my agent?” Yang Lujia asked. Seeing the confused look on the woman’s face, he coughed and rephrased. “I mean, can you act like instead of me going to the inn paying for a room, you can instead pay on my behalf. Of course, I’d give you enough money for the processes needed.”

“Oh,” the woman subconsciously uttered, looking dazed. After a while, she then nodded at Yang Lujia, agreeing to his proposal. “Okay, little brother! If I may know, what is the name of the little brother?”

He found this young man interesting.

“I’m [1]Cao Nima,” Yang Lujia said.

When the woman heard his name, she instantly felt the urge to laugh. However, she stifled it immediately. “How about your two disciples, little brother?”

Yang Lujia stared at Lin Diyu, whose attention was on the bustling street. He then thought of a name for this disciple of his. “This is my little brother, [2]Cao Xiaoma.”

‘Who the hell named the two of you like that?’

The sound of laughter was stuck in the woman’s throat. She traced her gaze at Long Guang, who was still happily eating a part of the leg of the Void Dragon, munching the meat like no other. “What about this little brother of yours?”

Yang Lujia then remembered his other disciple, Long Guang. “Oh, him? I found him in the middle of the Pacific Dung Ocean, so I named him [3]Shi Datuo.”

The woman’s face flushed with a tint of red. She truly couldn’t hold it back anymore. Their names were just the most hilarious things he had ever heard in her entire life. Although she didn’t know where the Pacific Dung Ocean was, she could surmise that from the name itself, it was really what the little kid’s name suggested.

On the other hand, while it might have seemed like Yang Lujia didn’t care about it, he was also trying to suppress his agitated emotions. Naming, for him, was the best hobby he could have had. After all, he believed it was his forte. It was something he would feel delighted about.

“Then, I will register your names first, little brother. Here’s a map of the entire Guile City. You can stroll around. The inn’s name is Amber Comfort Inn. Rest assured that we treat our clients with utmost care and hospitality.”

“No need to say all of those. I know it’s a business. It’s only natural you want to please us,” Yang Lujia said as he grabbed the map from the woman’s hands. It left the latter in awe as she watched their disappearing backs into the flooded streets.

“What a weird young man…”

Yang Lujia did not need the map at all. After all, he could just use the Space Rule or his mental power to prevent himself from getting lost. If it were on Earth, he would not have the same confidence. His sense of direction had always been the worst amongst his peers. As he strolled, he noticed that the architectural structure of the stalls, houses, and restaurants was influenced by a mix of eastern and western styles.

It left the trio in wonder.

“Everyone! Run! There’s a beast! It’s terrifyingly big! I don’t know why it appeared in the city, but it was actually able to pass through the city’s fortress!”

“Look! What is that?!” A man holding a wooden ladle pointed at the sky. “That’s a very large beast! Everyone! Run! Damn it! Go to the City Lord Mansion and report this matter to them!”

When Yang Lujia and his disciples heard this commotion, they all froze. Trouble always comes wherever they go. This was what Yang Lujia always feared about wandering about. Although it could help him widen his horizons in the five realms, he certainly wasn’t certain he could protect his life. To him, he was still weak as long as he didn’t know his cultivation level. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t recklessly fight somebody.

When he lifted his chin up, he saw a dragon-like creature with no wings. It looked like a serpent with six feet attached to its body. Its scales were translucently green as they reflected the light from the sun. It also had a silk-white beard with its eyes looking down on the people below him.

“A true dragon!” It unexpectedly stopped floating about the city and stared right in the direction of Yang Lujia and his disciples. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

“Is this a flood dragon?” Yang Lujia stared back at the dragon’s eyes. His eyes were so piercing, as though he intended to injure the other party heavily. He practically knew who this flood dragon was referring to. It was his disciple, Long Guang.

According to the legends, flood dragons only have a bit of the true dragon’s blood. In fact, they were said to only have one percent of the true dragon’s blood in their bodies. This was why they would try to hunt true dragon babies to kill and swallow for themselves, increasing the thickness of their true dragon’s blood within their bodies. It went the same with this flood dragon that appeared in Guile City.

“A mere First Stage of the God King Realm dares to fool around and scare my people away?” A terrifying might emerged from the City Lord Mansion that was in the middle of the city.

Yang Lujia recognized the aura. It came from a strongman in the Tenth Stage of the God King Realm. If assessed in the hierarchy of Da Sishen, this man would truly make it to the top. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚
