Chapter 29: Zhaotian City
Inside the pitch-black tunnel, the newly acquired Wood Gold came in handy, the purple flame energy illuminating a certain range. Along the way, whether it was an illusion or not, virtual ripples flickered from time to time, and Wu Jinliang's loud voice echoed.
“I heard that all the girls outside are as fair as Miss Miao…”
Wu Jinliang, carrying his pack and saber, strode forward with his head held high. Despite his ragged appearance, he couldn’t hide his immense excitement and ambition, talking extensively about women and clamoring about visiting brothels once they were out.
Shi Chun almost joined in, thinking about the rumored enchanting scenery of brothels. Fortunately, he wasn’t completely carried away by excitement and hadn’t entirely lost his vigilance.
He quickly remembered that everyone around him was from Far-Gazing Tower, and since he was, after all, pursuing Miss Miao, how could he discuss such shameless topics?
He couldn’t burn bridges, especially since they hadn’t completely crossed the river yet.
However, the women in the Land of Exile were indeed too dark, as dirty, as dark, and as unkempt as they were.
In front of the Far-Gazing Tower entourage, Shi Chun not only acted less vulgar than Wu Jinliang but also displayed his refinement. He emphasized that the first thing he would do after getting out was to buy books to read, and the second was to buy himself a good set of clothes.
Look at this level of integrity: loving books more than himself, willing to forgo dignity for books.
