Walking on the Royal Road, eyes focused on Jiang Tian's figure before sweeping over the solemn expressions of the two Xia Clan members behind him.
Seeing Jiang Tian's wretched appearance, the crowd who witnessed the events earlier in the day deduced that the arrogant mortal, Jiang Tian must've failed and became a slave to the two.
Those who saw his plight shook their heads, cultivators didn't need mortals and any mortals that they captured would end up dead most of the time. However, most of them gloated about Jiang Tian's outcome.
Humans were creatures that desired for power, seeing someone stumbling on their path gave them the urge to laugh, that's how despicable humans could be.
Xia Bingyue clenched her fists when she noticed these gazes and turned to look at Jiang Tian with complicated eyes.
Everyone in this world cared for their image and faces. However, this young man looked unperturbed despite the volley of disdainful gazes directed at him. Judging from his age, and the wisdom that he displayed earlier. Xia Bingyue understood that Jiang Tian's demeanor vastly surpassed most people that she mingled with.
This fact made a small smile lift on her face, her interest for Jiang Tian gradually intensified.
"Hey, how can you maintain that straight face despite these disdainful looks directed at you, don't you feel any shame?" Xia Bingyue couldn't suppress her curiosity.
Xia Guanyu also turned at Jiang Tian, expecting his answer.
Jiang Tian slowed down his footsteps and turned to look at them. His side profile and the light that descended to his back that emphasized his shadow manifested a dignified appearance that stunned them as Jiang Tian replied.
"Why would I feel shameful about these gazes? It's not like there's any reason to be shameful when I know that I am not like what they are thinking about me..." Jiang Tian stared ahead of him and continued his walk, all the while observing the City that he stayed in for several weeks.
The figures of the two behind him twitched before sighing and following after him. Xia Guanyu wanted to have him walk by their side but Jiang Tian reasoned that once those people saw them acting so intimate, they may feel suspicious and Xia Guanyu didn't have any other choice but to arrange it like this.
Jiang Tian's gaze scoured over the bustling communities that the mortals in this City created. Jiang Tian missed the life of convenience that he experienced back in his highly-technological world where everything could be done by a single click on a screen.
However, these past weeks, he felt attached with the lifestyle of mortals in here, the fact that they could keep smiling despite the hard labor that they endured made him feel an admiration towards their work.
But of course, not everything looked as sweet and smooth as it would be. There were times where Jiang Tian observed the viciousness of humanity and the discrimination of cultivators for these weak and frail mortals.
In the Land of Cultivators where strength reigned as the Emperor of everything. The fragile mortals didn't have a chance and could only become slaves for these powerful cultivators.
Sighing in his heart, Jiang Tian dismissed these pessimistic thoughts and thought to himself that he would never become a mediocre man. Whatever he would sacrifice, he would do so for the sake of achieving the peak of Martial Arts.
Inside a modified carriage that didn't shake as much as Jiang Tian expected, he and Xia Bingyue sat before each other before a small table where all sorts of delicacies where placed.
Xia Bingyue picked a cup of tea from the table and sipped it while closely looking at Jiang Tian's figure. Jiang Tian gradually became awkward, what's wrong with this young woman? Why is she looking at me like that? Could it be that she's trying to eat me up?!
Jiang Tian's countenance went pale upon thinking of such an idea as cold sweat dripped down his back. Xia BIngyue's piercing eyes intimidated him.
"Jiang Tian...What do you think about my robe, I had it custom made by a famous tailor back in the City, does it look good?" Xia Bingyue returned the cup on the saucer and sweetly smiled.
Slightly turning her body in an angle where Jiang Tian could almost see some vital areas, Xia Bingyue's eyes flashed with a cunning light. She felt satisfied with her looks and felt confident that she could easily intertwine Jiang Tian around her fingers.
Jiang Tian's expression went crimson and his breathing turned ragged. HIs eyes continuously darted around Xia Bingyue's chest area, and continuously looked for an opening that he could exploit so he could see through the mountain peaks.
Soon, his eyes scoured over her entire body and even the Xia Bingyue who had an ample experience under her belt regarding seduction felt uncomfortable. Her expression went solemn and she scolded.
"Hey! I asked you a question, right? Why are you staring at me like that?" A mere mortal like Jiang Tian actually dared to think of eating a swan? Xia Bingyue gnashed her teeth and regretted the fact that she even talked with Jiang Tian.
"What a waste..." Jiang Tian shook his head and Xia Bingyue's eyes narrowed with a dangerous light, "What do you mean by what a waste? Are you saying that I'm not even enough to enter the eyes of a mortal like you? Even if you're an Articifer, without cultivation, you're still useless!"
Her outburst was met with a cold and authoritative gaze from Jiang Tian's eyes. His jet-black eyes that radiated a gleam that could seem to engulf the entire universe pierced through her figure.
Her figure froze and the words lodged in her throat. What's going on with him...How could a mere mortal possess such a gaze?!
Xia Bingyue was familiar with his gaze for she had seen them several times.
However, those gazes shouldn't belong to a mortal whose life was mundane and knew nothing about the hardships of cultivation. But why is it, why is it that he possesses the same gaze as the Patriarch and the Grand Elder?! Xia Bingyue screamed in her mind.
Those eyes that gleamed of authority...It was inconceivable that a mortal like Jiang Tian had them.
Jiang Tian witnessed her flabbergasted expression and quickly retracted his gaze. A wry smile spread on his face as he thought, "Damn it, I carelessly looked at her with the eyes that I frequently used back in my previous world..."
His wry smile turned into a joyful one before he lightly laughed, "Of course, you look with that robe, Young mistress! I bet that no matter what clothes you are wearing, you would look good with it..."
"But of course, we can make some modifications here and there so we can further intensify your beauty, but that is up to your discretion..."
Xia Bingyue regained her calm after Jiang Tian retracted his gaze. Taking a deep breath, the eyes that she used to look at Jiang TIan changed.
Previously, she disdained him for being shameless and opportunistic but now she felt terrified and respect towards such a mysterious young man like him. Having the ability to enhance items as a mortal and possessing such a terrifying gaze that wouldn't falter if compared to a murderer. It was clear that Jiang Tian wasn't ordinary.
This discovery rekindled the dwindling interest that she had for him in her heart. Lifting a small smile, she nodded her head and said, "Really? You can do such a thing? Then I will leave it to you then, make me more beautiful than I am now."
Xia Bingyue moved closer and the distance between their bodies shrank until it was merely several inches. Jiang Tian could feel her warm breathing and enticing aroma that she emanated. Xia Bingyue found that despite the fact that Jiang Tian looked like a fair young man, he was quite masculine and such manliness made her feel dizzy.
In a split second, Jiang Tian regained his calm and flatly said, "Don't worry, Young mistress, I won't be taking advantage of you..."
"You..." Xia Bingyue gnashed her teeth. Jiang Tian's calm demeanor only exacerbated the situation, it was as if this lone flower atop a hill was nothing before his eyes.
Of course, that didn't mean that Xia Bingyue wasn't beautiful. It was because of that fact that Jiang Tian witnessed far too many heavenly beauties that he eventually became numb to them.
After seeing the look of indifference within Jiang Tian's eyes, she calmed down but at the same time, felt bitterness swelling up in her chest. Jiang Tian saw that she regained her composure and he stretched his hand out for her robe and adjusted it to emphasize her curvaceous figure.
He also arranged her hair and formed it into a bun to Xia Bingyue's delight.
Several minutes later, Xia Bingyue came out of the carriage and walked towards the adjacent room where her father stayed. Xia Guanyu who was sitting down and enjoying a gourd of liquor blossomed with a smile when he saw his daughter's figure.
"How's it going? What do you think? Is it possible that you can entice him into revealing his Enhancement Techniques?" Xia Guanyu waved his hands and attracted Xia Bingyue's attention.
His words made her remember what happened earlier, and to her embarrassment, she glared at her father and ran towards another adjacent room, all the while stomping her foot on the ground in indignation.
Xia Guanyu who didn't have any idea about what caused his daughter's outburst could only say a single word.
"What...?"
