The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

As soon as Chen Dong left, a woman in a goose-yellow dress walked in. She had an alluring beauty mark at the corner of her mouth—it was one of Master Wang's two concubines.

This concubine was named Fang Mei. Despite her beauty and youth, she also possessed a formidable cultivation base. She had been in the adjoining room just moments ago and had clearly heard the entire conversation between Chen Dong and Master Wang.

"Master, he agreed to the marriage so quickly. He's clearly not sincere."

Master Wang gave an inscrutable smile. "When you force someone's hand, you can't expect them to be sincere from the start. The fact that he came around shows he's a smart man. For now, we don't know if Xian'Er's illness will relapse, so we need to humor him. We can't push him too far."

"You are right, Master. His medical skills are incredible. If he were to be with Xian'Er in earnest, then we could rest easy."

At this, Master Wang sighed softly. "Who wouldn't hope for that!" Then, his gaze grew resolute. "As long as Xian'Er likes him, I'll bind him to the Wang Family if I have to."

Meanwhile, as soon as Chen Dong stepped out of the Wang Family estate, he found himself followed not only by Wang Yang but also by four other guards.

Leaving the spacious, wealthy district, the streets became bustling and noisy. People came and went, and the air filled with the calls of vendors selling everything from baked flatbreads to oranges.

The people wore flowing robes and long tunics; some had hats and hairpins, while others wore shawls and left their hair unbound. Chen Dong felt as if he had returned to Yuan City in Fuyuan Country.

Chen Dong paused for a moment, feeling a wave of nostalgia.

Just as he was about to ask Wang Yang to take him to a pharmacy, two streaks of light flew across the sky, causing Chen Dong's brow to furrow.

'Those two are flying so ostentatiously. Back in my world, Inner Realm Powerhouses are all incredibly discreet when they fly.'

Thinking of this, Chen Dong asked Wang Yang, "Are there many people like that?"

Wang Yang replied, "Is the Young Master asking about Immortal Masters?"

Chen Dong was taken aback. "Those are Immortal Masters?"

'Judging by their speed, they're merely at the Early-stage Inner Realm. And that's enough to be called an Immortal Master?'

Wang Yang nodded. "Anyone who practices Qi Cultivation is cultivating immortality. Those two just now could fly, which means they've had some success in their Qi Cultivation, so they're Immortal Masters. Does the Young Master not know this?"

Chen Dong immediately asked, "Then are there many people like that? And what is this Qixia Sect you mentioned?"

Wang Yang looked at Chen Dong in astonishment. "Young Master, where are you from? You don't even know common knowledge. I don't know how many people like that there are, but the Qixia Sect is something even a child would know about."

Even so, he still explained what he knew.

"The Qixia Sect is one of the five great sects of our Wangyou Realm. The five are Qixia, Yun Gu, Liucheng, Black Dragon, and Wangyou. Among them, the Wangyou Sect is the most powerful and has the most ancient lineage. This realm is famous because of the Wangyou Sect."

Chen Dong's eyes widened in shock. 'This isn't the Floating Shadow Realm, but the Wangyou Realm?'

'Did it change its name? Or was I pulled into another place entirely?'

Chen Dong then asked, "Has this Wangyou Realm of ours ever had a different name?"

Wang Yang looked vexed. "How would I know? All I know is that it's called the Wangyou Realm. Young Master, you have so many strange questions."

Chen Dong glanced at Wang Yang. 'He doesn't seem to know much; I won't get anything else out of him.' He then said, "Take me to the largest pharmacy in the city!"

Afterward, Chen Dong followed Wang Yang for two blocks. The shops lining the streets sold all kinds of goods, with liquor stores being the most numerous. There were all varieties of alcohol, which, he supposed, was why the city was called Drunken Immortal City.

They eventually arrived before a magnificent seven-story tavern. A large plaque above the entrance was inscribed with the name: Drunken Immortal Tower. Wang Yang, however, announced, "Young Master, this is it."

This was clearly a place that sold alcohol, not a pharmacy. Chen Dong felt that Wang Yang was taking him for an idiot.

Wang Yang noticed Chen Dong's confusion and explained, "This Drunken Immortal Tower is run by the Qixia Sect. All the liquor here is brewed from various medicinal herbs. They sell alcohol, but they also sell the herbs. In terms of having the most complete variety and the best quality, the Drunken Immortal Tower is second to none. Its only drawback is the price. But for Miss Wang's medicine, we're not afraid of the cost."

So that was it. Chen Dong put his concerns aside and headed toward the tavern.

But as soon as he reached the entrance, he found it blocked. A huge crowd was packed there, with everyone scrambling to get in front, completely sealing the doorway.

"Did you see her?"

"I can't see a thing!"

"Stop pushing! Let me see!"

Chen Dong didn't know what they were all pushing to see. He couldn't even get into the building, let alone buy medicinal herbs.

But Wang Yang said smugly, "Young Master, watch me."

With an arrogant swagger, he went forward to clear a path. "Make way, make way! We're from the Wang Family, so get out of our way!" His movements were so practiced, it was obviously not his first time doing this.

Unexpectedly, the Wang Family name, which was usually so effective, failed him today. The crowd paid him no mind, some even taunting, "The Wang Family? So what about the Wang Family? You're blocking our view of the Fairy."

"Exactly! If I can just get one glimpse of the Fairy, I'd be willing to be beaten to death by the Wang Family!"

Losing face, Wang Yang's expression darkened as he roared, "Miss Wang is here!"

At this, the crowd instantly scattered, shouting in terror, "Run! If Miss Wang catches you and makes you her husband, you're done for!"

The crowd scattered like frightened birds, only realizing something was wrong after they had run a good distance away.

"Isn't Miss Wang seriously ill at home? Why would she be out today?"

"That's right!"

Looking back, they saw there was no Miss Wang at all—just Wang Yang leading a handsome young man into the tavern.

With no one blocking his path, Chen Dong walked into the tavern and finally saw what the crowd had been so desperate to look at.

They were two peerless beauties, truly deserving of the name Fairy. One, in a white dress, was like a lotus emerging from the water; the other, in a pink dress, was like a blooming rose. They sat facing each other in the middle of the main hall.

Each sat at her own table, and on each table were seven milky-white porcelain cups.
