MEIWITA Chapter 677: Meet in Reality

That night, Lou Mu Yan sat on the roof to absorb the energy of the sun, moon, and stars; the heavenly bodies.

After the second part’s second layer, one needed to absorb the power of the stars and lightning energy to temper the body and continue to strengthen. The essence of the stars would be more perfectly reflected.

The array over the inn suddenly fluctuated and she opened her eyes to see a flamboyant, red-clothed Ming Xiu landing on the roof before her.

“Yan’er.” Then she was pulled into a tight embrace by Ming Xu, “I’ve missed you!”

Lou Mu Yan’s heart thumped, and she wrapped her arms around Ming Xiu, “I’ve missed you too!”

The feelings of yearning that she had never experienced before—ever since meeting and falling in love with Ming Xiu, she discovered that yearning and missing someone was so beautiful and filled with anticipation.

Hearing Lou Mu Yan’s pleasant voice, Ming Xiu’s heart felt as if it was being tickled by a little cat’s claws.

He lowered his head and kissed the tender lips of Lou Mu Yan, interlocking and lingering.

Lou Mu Yan returned the kiss slowly as she wrapped her arms around his neck, tender and sentimental.

After the two embraced and kissed, they sat on the roof to watch the stars.

Ming Xiu stretched out his left hand and interlocked with Lou Mu Yan’s fingers, “Yan’er, do you have certainty in winning the alchemy competition?”

“I do. I’ve already advanced to grade 8 alchemist.” Lou Mu Yan said as she leaned on Ming Xiu’s shoulder.

In Ming Xiu’s deep eyes, there was anticipation, “I believe Yan’er can definitely win the championship.”

“Mm, but there are many geniuses in the younger generations, I may encounter some strong opponents.” Lou Mu Yan never underestimated anyone, especially the talents in the Central State.

Ming Xiu thought about it and said: “I’ll help you organise a file of alchemists who’ve entered the finals from the five states who are strong opponents for you.”

“No need. Knowing too much will lessen the fun of challenges.” Lou Mu Yan was confident and chuckled: “I prefer the thrill, so I look forward to the pleasant surprise of someone who can challenge me.”

Ming Xiu’s lips raised in an arc. His woman was just this special, but this was also his favourite side.

He also liked the thrill, liked the challenge. They were a match made in heaven.

“Alright.” He paused, then said: “Just recently, my Emperor Father’s exited seclusion and wants me to accompany him. I should be watching the alchemy competition with the Imperial Family, so I might not be able to be with you.”

“That’s fine, many people will be paying attention to me when I enter the alchemy competition’s finals. We’ll be discovered if we’re together.” Lou Mu Yan replied.

Ming Xiu pulled Lou Mu Yan into an embrace: “Yan’er, how about we disclose our relationship.”

“After the alchemy competition’s finished and I join the Mercenary Union.” Lou Mu Yan didn’t want to cause any changes because they suddenly went public with their relationship.

She heard that the people in the Ming Palace Royal Clan were very prideful and stubborn. If they made their relationship public, she was afraid that the imperial family would invite her to be one of their enshrined, and she wouldn’t be able to refuse. She didn’t want to participate in the things among the imperial family.

Moreover, she had no idea whether the people of the imperial family, such as Ming Xiu’s Emperor Father, would allow him to find a woman with no background to be his dual cultivation partner. She hoped that when their relationship went public, her identity could match his.

Ming Xiu didn’t care about how others saw Lou Mu Yan, but he wanted to give her only the best, and wouldn’t force her even more.

“Alright then, then we’ll publicise our relationship afterwards.” Ming Xiu kissed her forehead and said: “Yan’er, don’t worry, the woman I like, my Emperor Father would like too.”

In the Ming Palace Royal Clan, the only person he valued was his Emperor Father. As for the others, what did they have to do with him.

“Mm, I hope.” Lou Mu Yan smiled gently.

In the early morning, when the sun fell on the courtyard, Lou Mu Yan jumped off the roof.

Ming Xiu had left when the sky was about to light up, and no one found any traces of him.

“Owner, Owner.” Bing Ji immediately came over after seeing Lou Mu Yan had finished cultivating, “The centre of the Central State City is extremely lively, with shops everywhere. Your spiritual herbs are about to be used up, let’s go shopping and buy some.”

Lou Mu Yan looked at him in amusement and said: “Shopping is a pretence, you just want to go out for a wander right.”

“Hehe, I can’t hide anything from Owner.” Bing Ji said shyly.

Miao Miao and Xue Xue also couldn’t sit still, “Owner, Owner, let’s go out and take a stroll around.”

“Alright, let’s go together with Second Elder Brother.”

“I’ll go call them.” Miao Miao ran to the others with a bright smile.

After advancing to Core Elemental Realm, Xue Xue had become a handsome young man with exquisite facial features and fair skin, and his temperament wasn’t as active as Miao Miao’s.

After Lou Mu Yan washed up, the others also came out, and they visited the city centre together.

The prosperity of Central State City had an ancient and quaint aura. The middle street was very wide, and could accommodate the passing of six Tailwind Horse carriages, while the two sides of the streets were filled with rows of shops.

Each shop had a low-profile luxurious feeling. People who came and went were not only averaged at Sword Venerable, but also dressed differently. It could be seen that many Sword Masters from other places had poured in to watch the alchemy competition.

Lou Mu Yan and her party visited several shops selling spiritual herbs and bought some spiritual herb seeds. As for level 8 spiritual herbs, these shops had none available.

While walking leisurely on the street, Miao Miao pointed to a luxurious shop ahead and said: “Owner, women’s jewelleries and accessories are sold there, let’s go take a look.”

“Mm, let’s go.” Lou Mu Yan also saw the shop that was very conspicuous on the street.

This should be the largest jewellery and accessory shop in Central Hall City.

Women’s business was the easiest to do, so there were special forces that would net in some smiths to craft jewellery worn by women into magic tools.

It not only allowed women who loved beauty to accessorise themselves, but they also had the defence or attack function. It was the best of both worlds, and were very popular among female sword masters.

Of course, in addition to women’s things, there were also shops that sold men’s accessories, which also contained arrays or other offensive and defensive functions.

Immediately after entering the shop, an attendant greeted them.

“What do Young Sirs and Young Misses want to look at?” The attendant was a delicate and pretty young man with a baby face. He recommended with a smile: “We have recently received some new jewellery which is very suitable for the temperament of you several young misses, would you like to see?”

Although Lou Mu Yan and her party weren’t dressed flamboyantly, but they weren’t dressed poorly either. In addition, they were handsome men and beautiful women with extraordinary temperaments, so the discerning eyes of the attendant saw them as rich customers and introduced their new accessories.

“Sure, take us to check it out.” Lou Mu Yan wanted to buy beautiful jewellery and accessories for Miao Miao, Chi Huang, and Wu Nuan.

“Please come with me.” The attendant led the several people to the third floor with a smile.

Because the alchemy competition was about to begin, so many young masters and young misses of the other states had come to Central State City, and their business was booming recently.

After doing this for more than a decade, the attendant could naturally tell which people could or couldn’t afford it, so he was more polite to these people.

Lou Mu Yan and the others followed the attendant to the third floor. At the same time, two other parties also entered this shop one after another and were also brought to the third floor through the recommendation of other attendants.
