Dragon War God

Chapter 65 – Ten Satellite Cities

Based on the Black Scaled Dragon Horse’s speed, Long Chen would take about ten days to travel from Baiyang Town to Yuanling City.

He packed sufficiently for the trip and spent most of the time on the road, not entering cities and towns along the way.

Eight days later, a gigantic city surrounded by tall, majestic walls appeared before him. Long Chen initially thought that he had arrived at Yuanling City, but when he approached, he realized that it was only one of the ten satellite cities surrounding Yuanling City—Yuanyang City.

As he walked through the streets of Yuanyang City, he admired the vast array of goods sold by the merchants and the various passersby who exuded an air of elegance and sophistication. They were obviously cultivators of great cultivation levels. “Yuanyang City’s a hundred times greater than Baiyang Town both in terms of material resources and military might. And this is only one of Yuanling City’s small satellite cities.”

Long Chen had nothing but praise for this place.

When Ling Xi saw this embarrassing behavior, she huffed, “Hey, you country bumpkin, you haven’t seen the world yet! Once you see the Royal Territory, you’ll know what ‘big’ truly means!”

“What’s the Royal Territory?”

“I’m not telling you!”

There was a magnificent hotel in front, one that was a few times better than Baiyang Town’s most famous Sunset Hotel. Long Chen looked at the tall, beautiful building and kept gawking as he entered. Traveling with him is so embarrassing, thought Ling Xi. Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update

What she didn’t think of was that to an outsider, Long Chen looked like he was walking into the hotel alone. Ling Xi was merely a spirit inside an ear stud.

Very soon, a busboy greeted him. The busboy was extremely judgmental, and he only needed one look at Long Chen’s clothes to know that he was some small-town aristocratic teenager.

While he was considered an aristocrat, his status meant nothing in Yuanyang City. The young man had not even brought a servant with him, which made him look even poorer. The busboy’s bent back straightened and his tone hardened. “Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay?”

Everyone in Baiyang Town always greeted Master Chen with a smile, so this was Long Chen’s first encounter with a busboy like this.

However, he deeply understood his current position and was not demanding for top service. Keeping a low profile was the way to go. Therefore, Long Chen was not going to play into his power games and said directly, “Take my horse to the stables. Use top-grade grain! Then bring me a few dishes. It’s late out, I will be staying for the night.”

When the busboy saw Long Chen’s Black Scaled Dragon Horse, he gasped. This man’s cultivation must be decent for a country bumpkin if he can tame a horse like this. I have a stable job in this place and mustn’t ruin it, so it’ll be best if I serve him well!

Then he put on a smile of flattery and instructed the stableboy to take Long Chen’s Black Scaled Dragon Horse away for feeding. Afterwards, he led Long Chen up to a seat on the first floor by the window.

Long Chen looked out of the window and saw the stable boy tying his horse well and preparing to feed it.

That was a gift from Yang Lingqing.

Every time he looked at the horse, he felt a sense of sweetness in his heart. He also gave a few more reminders to the busboy about how they had to treat the horse well. “Don’t worry, Sir. All our stableboys are cultivators with above-average strength. They also have many years of experience with demonic horses. You’ll find that your horse will be much more muscular tomorrow!”

The busboy went downstairs and soon, the rice and dishes arrived. Various types of local delicacies were arranged on his table, but Long Chen kept the busboy. “Is there anything else, Sir?”

All the other servants started giving praises too.

Huang Xiang was overjoyed. He stepped forward, preparing to tame the horse.

The Black Scaled Dragon Horse was currently upset from being surrounded and watched by this many people. Its gaze swept coldly across the crowd, eyes slowly turning blood-red.

“Shh, be a good horse. Fate has brought us together! If you listen to me, I’ll give you the best food!”

Huang Xiang approached the horse in excitement.

The busboy nearby looked extremely conflicted.

He knew that the horse belonged to Long Chen, but Young Master Huang Xiang’s background was obviously more powerful than Long Chen’s. Huang Xiang was the one who should not be offended here. That was why the busboy quickly came to a decision.

He swayed over to Young Master Huang Xiang and said demurely, “Young master, I can see that you like this horse very much, but this horse belongs to one of our guests. Would you like me to talk him into giving it to you?”

Huang Xiang froze and looked upset. “A horse this good already has an owner? A common peasant will only sully a good horse like this. But my father told me to rein myself in a bit out here, so, Old Liu, give that guy two divine jades.”

When the busboy heard about the two divine jades, his eyes sparkled. Now he was sure that this young master was from a powerful family. He was just giving away two divine jades ...

Old Liu obeyed hurriedly, about to follow the busboy off, but Long Chen had already jumped out of the window. He had witnessed the whole commotion from upstairs.

This Huang Xiang guy is only about my age, but he seems more powerful than Grandfather ...

Although he was privately shocked, Long Chen stood tall fearlessly.

He had lived in a small place like Baiyang Town all his life and never explored the world. After meeting Huang Xiang, he finally understood how much he lacked.

When the busboy saw Long Chen, he quickly ran over, trying to send a message with his eyes as he said demurely, “Sir, Young Master Huang over here wants to buy your horse for two divine jades. You must know that the Black Scaled Dragon Horse is only a Category Five demonic beast, and it’s not even worth half a divine jade. But our Young Master Huang ...”

The busboy was speaking as if Long Chen had clearly gotten a very good deal.

Young Master Huang was still looking at the Black Scaled Dragon Horse with admiration and praise. He did not even look at Long Chen. Old Liu’s eyes darted at Long Chen once, then his face turned stony and he fished out two divine jades from his Universe Pouch. He tossed them at Long Chen.

At the same time, Old Liu said, “Leave quickly after you take the divine jades. Once our young master suddenly recalls how a brat like you got to ride such a nice horse before him, he might break your legs.”

He then never looked at Long Chen again.

Ding! Ding! Two pure-white divine jades fell on the ground. Long Chen did not catch them.

The busboy froze, then he muttered to himself in contempt, “Indeed, he’s not at all impressive. He can’t even catch two divine jades.”

When Old Liu heard the divine jades fall, he turned and regarded Long Chen slowly. He saw Long Chen’s mocking glare and froze, then he laughed. “People who can’t read the room usually get tragic endings ... Do you not understand, brat?”
