Chapter 69 CHAPTER 68 : Entering The Blazed City

A giant Condor flew toward the capital city of the Fire nation, the Blaze City. It landed in a forest near the city. Then the three entered the city.

"Sister Chun, let's go to a hotel first," Joey suggested while they walked in the road.

"Joey, let's go to the 'Li Five-star hotel.' My 'Hall of treasure' owned that place. We can stay there in VIPs for free. Come on." Then they walked toward that hotel.

When they entered the hotel, many customers were already there queuing before the counter. They, too, joined the queue line and waited for their turn to come up.

A seventeen-year-old handsome youth entered quickly and stood before them, cutting the line when their turn came up. The youth wore luxurious clothes, and ten other men followed behind him. He was in lvl 8 Houtian realm while all his followers were in Semi-nascent realm.

"You..." Wu Tong tried to complain but was stopped by Joey, quickly covering his mouth.

The handsome youth looked at them. He could not feel any aura from them and thought of them as mere mortals.

"You.. what? Go on and finish what you want to say." The youth spoke with scorn.

That time he happened to see the beautiful Chun Hua standing near them. Then he smiled and came before her.

"Hello, Miss. If you want to stay in this hotel, I can book a room for you too." He said with a smile.

"Get lost, you idiot." Chun Hua scolded him coldly.

"Do you know who I am? Hmm, coming with two men in a hotel. Dare to use that tone to me, kill this whore for me." The youth retorted and ordered his men to kill her.

Hearing him say that to Chun Hua, Joey became so angry.

Suddenly, Wu Tong jumped at him and started punching at him. Then he started beating other men too. He was a lvl six beast, after all. So, beating them was an easy fit for him.

"You dare to insult my sister-in-law in front of me. I will kill you all." He shouted at the youth and tried to kill him first.

"Wu Tong, stop. He is just some silk pants. Killing him will dirty your hands. Instead, kick them out of here." Joey said.

Then, Wu Tong started kicking them one by one, sending them all outside.

After that, Chun Hua took out a golden card and gave it to the counter. Seeing the golden card, the man inside the counter came out from the room and bowed to her, and said, "Miss, please follow me. I will bring you to the manager's office." Then he brought them to the fifth floor and entered a room.

The man gave the golden card to the manager and left quickly.

"Ah, it's young Miss Chun. Please sit." The manager stood and greeted her politely.

"Uncle Li, these are my friends." Chun Hua told him.

Manager Li looked at the two of them. He first scanned Su Tang's body using an eye technique.

"What? A lvl six beast." He exclaimed in his mind. Then he scanned Joey. From him, he didn't even feel a single trace of essence qi in his body. "So, he is a mortal." he thought.

"Uncle Li, he is Joey, the 5th prince of Tang nation and that is his sworn brother' Wu Tong.' We will stay here for today. Can you arrange VIP rooms for us?" Chun Hua introduced them.

Then, he brought them to the last floor and arranged their lodging.

"Miss, can I  talk to you alone?" Manager Li requested.

She looked at Joey. He nodded at her with a smile.

"Alright, let's go." She said and left together with manager Li.

Inside the manager's office, Manager Li and Chun Hua sat and were drinking their tea.

"Uncle Li, what do you want to say to me?" She started the conversations.

He kept the teacup and looked at her.

"Young Miss, do you even know that there has been a red-level mission carried out to find your whereabouts?" He asked seriously.

"That  must be the doing of that old man." She spoke calmly.

"You suddenly disappeared for a week and came to this place. What do you need here, young Miss?" He asked.

"I am here for the 'Earth-level Purifying water.'" She told him straight.

"So, you are planning to go inside that forbidden volcanic mountain."

She nodded at him.

"Miss, with your team, you will all die inside that place. Even I will not dare to go inside that place. Also, why are you hanging out with those two?" Manager Li spoke out his mind.

"Uncle Li, it is my own business to make friends with anyone I like. Also, don't look down on Joey. On our way here, he killed a lvl 1 God-realm expert." She retorted.

"Really. But, I have scanned his whole body using my 'Sensory Eye technique' and don't fill a trace of essence qi inside his body." He became surprised at first and remained calm again.

"Uncle Li, do you see that lotus tattoo on his forehead? It seals all his 'essence qi' in his body. Also, I am telling you the truth. I saw him fighting that god-realm expert and killing that expert using a small nine-headed snake." She said with a straight face.

"You still can't go inside that place. It is filled with various killing arrays and traps." He said.

"I know about that too. Why do you think we still came here? It is because we came here well prepared." She said. Then, she stood up and walked up to the door.

When she reached the door, she looked back at him and warned him, "Uncle Li, about our conversation here. Let's keep it between us. Otherwise, I will never talk to you anymore." Then she left quickly.

"Tch. This girl began to act more like her mother. But, I like it. Anyway, I will tell them that you are here with me. Also, the way she looked at that boy, she seems to like him. Hmm, I must start investigating more about him. "He murmured and started drinking his tea again.
