Chapter 334: Mount Jiuxuan! The Clinic! The Apothecary! Not Seeking Fame!?
It was late at night, and the bright moon hung high.
Outside Wei City, the streets were empty and still. The once-boisterous jianghu seemed to have quieted.
After his daytime conversation with the old Celestial Master, that increasingly immortal-like old Daoist had smiled so wide his face nearly split. He hadn’t truly expected Li Yanchu to gain an immortal’s inheritance and just held a faint hope in his heart, though he offered a few words of encouragement to the junior he valued.
After all, with both Danyangzi and Ye Hongyun entering the Blissful Land of the Jade Altar this time, the old Daoist felt gratified. He drank himself into a merry stupor with his cheeks glowing red, and retired to his room early.
Li Yanchu, however, made his way to the Taiping Inn. Seated at a table, the inn’s innkeeper sat opposite him, gazing into his eyes.
She was, indeed, a woman of breathtaking beauty. She had arched brows, bright almond-shaped eyes, and a delicate oval face. Her lips were full and exquisite, like a ripe peach that seemed to invite a bite at first sight.
The moment Li Yanchu arrived here, his heart felt much calmer. It was as if her presence carried a quieting, soothing power. Perhaps appreciating a beautiful woman really does bring joy, eh?
Her features were flawless, growing more enchanting the longer one looked. Of course, her most captivating quality wasn’t her face, nor even her figure, but the air of mature grace she exuded.
The innkeeper, too, was studying Li Yanchu. Looking into his eyes, she laughed softly and teased, “No wonder so many women fall for you at first sight. With looks like yours, what woman wouldn’t?”
Li Yanchu answered seriously, “In my heart, none of them compare to you.”
The innkeeper rolled her eyes, sighing. “After the Jade Altar affair, your name will spread across the world. Won’t even more young girls throw themselves at you then?”
Li Yanchu could only smile bitterly and said helplessly, “I don’t want fame. If I’d known it would come to this, I might as well have stayed away from the secret realm altogether.”
