Chapter 432: City Of Lust.
Hao Ren looked at Gara and then shook his head before saying, "Man, you ought to calm down a bit."
Gara realized that Hao Ren was a casual person and he didn't like this kind of endearments. The young man put away his sword and said, "Well, if you don't mind, you can settle in my region."
The ears of all the people perked up. They have seen how strong Hao Ren was, so it was to be expected that the region where he hailed from was also filled with strong people, getting in touch with the strong people meant they would grow stronger as well. This was the world of immortals, even ants wished to grow into dragons and soar through the heavens let alone humans.
Gara looked at the people, and then back at Hao Ren as he nodded and said, "We are grateful to you, Senior? How do we go there?"
The young man pursued his lips and said, "Fine, give me a few minutes."
He went to the side, and then took out many spirit stones, and buried them in the ground. He prepared a teleportation array, and then took out a special jade slip that acted as a locator and worked in correspondence to the receiving end. The young man initiated the array, and then the portal opened, he peeked through and found the common square teleportation array located in the Crescent Moon City.
He stepped through, and the people were shocked, he looked around and remarked, "Oh, they have made some improvements, good."
Then he took a deep breath and said, "Lan, come at the public square!"
His voice was calm but the entire city heard it and they were shocked. They saw his figure and many people knelt on the ground in respect. Hao Ren waved at them all hurriedly, asking them to get up. The Emperor had appeared in the city, who dared to stand straight?
Ye Lan appeared before him like a scepter and Hao Ren said, "Well, good that you are here. Has Lingshi come out of seclusion?"
Ye Lan shook her head and asked, "Big brother, what are you doing in the public square?"
The young man smiled and said, "Well, I found some people, helped them, and now I want them to move to the Crescent Moon Territory. So I opened up the teleportation array here. Can you handle this?"
Ye Lan thought and nodded, as she said, "I will call over some administrative officials and issue identity cards and the rest to these people here only. Prime Minister Maya has been idle these few days, so she would love to come and work."
Hao Ren chuckled and said, "You dare to call that workaholic woman idle? Go now, arrange for all the procedures, I will have the people come over and wait here."
Ye Lan nodded and raised her left hand to use the communicator and send messages quickly. Hao Ren went back inside the teleportation array, coming out on the other side, in the village.
He looked at the people who were shocked, and said, "This is a teleportation array, if you all wish to move, then pack as much as you can and then in the next hour move through this hole. You will safely arrive in the Crescent Moon Empire."
The people were shocked, however, they still began to pack with the maximum speed and efficiency they could and gathered on the ground. Hao Ren was shocked but then he saw that the people were really ready and led them through the teleportation array. The matter was settled and Ye Lan began to handle the official business along with Hao Ren there.
After the teleportation was completed, Hao Ren asked a few questions and then he left.
...
The young man stood in the forest and looking at the now derelict place, he sighed and said, "Such is life."
He let out a whistle and called his spirit horse, hopped on its back and began to strum the guitar as he moved through the woods heading north. His voice echoed through the surroundings as he lost himself in the flavor of singing.
His voice was calm, and all the while he was singing, he comprehended life. Hao Ren had come to understand that the most complicated and yet the simplest of the Daos was the Dao of life itself. He was immersed in his comprehension and looking at different things, he was integrating the ideas and refining them into sword art comprehensions.
After a few days, when his horse stopped, he found himself standing before a city, where the huge walls were covered with red ceramic tiles. He opened his eyes wide and approached the gates as he asked the guard, "Yo, junior, what is this place?"
The guard was irritated that someone called him a junior, but then he sensed a strong aura descend upon him and he gulped as he bowed, "Senior, this is the City of Lust."
Hao Ren opened his eyes wide, and asked, "What did you just say?"
The guard repeated himself and said, "Lord, City Of Lust is one of the seven major cities in the Kingdom Of Emotion."
Hao Ren was shocked to hear all this, he took a deep breath and then said, 'System, fucking bitch! You are leading me here knowing that I am married and loyal, right? You fucking pissant!'
The system retorted, 'It's the author who wants to give you blue balls, and not Daddy. Next time you cuss, I will give you a shit shoveling task and then you can beg me for a pardon, loser!'
The system fell silent and Hao Ren sighed, he knew that his fate wasn't in his own hands and so he entered the city on the back of his horse. Inside the city, the scenery was completely justifying the name. Hao Ren seemed to have walked into a carnival.
People wearing vibrant clothing, dancing on the main road with wine gourds in their hands. On the other side, he saw women dressed in provocative clothing and inviting men over, teasing them and some were even engaged in open wild act of fornication right in the street.
Hao Ren almost blushed, and to cover up his shy nature, he took out a wine gourd and began to sip from it. His body began to sway and his eyelids become heavy. The horse continued walking through the crowded place, until they came to a relatively calm looking place. Hao Ren had the Horse stand on the side as he read the plaque that read, "Silent Lotus Inn."
He pushed the door and went inside, and he found the place was really quite, there was no guest in the reception hall. Hao Ren approached the desk and rapped his knuckle on it as he asked, "Anybody there?"
The next moment his eyes opened wide as he saw a young lady walking over with almost nothing on her body, just ribbons, satin ribbons hiding her private parts. She looked at Hao Ren and smiled suggestively as she asked, "Hello, patron, would you like to book a room?"
The young man shivered and vanished from his place. He appeared outside the Inn, hopped on his horse, and squeezed its belly before he rode it in the void and dashed toward the city gate. As he moved through the street, many people saw him and they cheered for reasons unknown. Some even threw stuff at him. Hao Ren waved his hand to block the things, when coincidentally he caught a cucumber.
He flung it away and began to circulate the spiritual energy on his hand as he shouted, "Who is using vegetables in this fucking place? Be careful, if you mate found out he might commit suicide!"
…
Hao Ren dashed out of the city and he didn't stop until he was already a thousand miles away. He stopped by a lake, took off his clothes and dived in the water as he took out a small bell and tied it to his right wrist.
The soul calming bell that he never used was being used today to make up for the past completely. The young man's soul calmed down and he took a long cold bath as he lamented, "Damn it, such strong visuals, how can someone cultivate if they lose themselves in that sort of emotional tide? Imagine, a place where the most carnal desires come alive, how can someone even handle this much expression."
He shook his head and sat down on the boulder as he began to think about what he just witnessed. The thoughts varied and they were chaotic, however, after an entire week of self debate, Hao Ren found that it was this chaos that was one of the definitive elements of life. He seemed to have scratched upon something but it wasn't substantial. Just when he was thinking if he should go back to that city, the system said, *They have seven such cities. Since you want to find out about life, why not visit all of them. Reward: Sudden Enlightenment * 2*
