Chapter 1671: Reason

般年輕的那些都是資質不錯的。如果有駐顏丹的話，那就能避免衰老，能讓人永葆青春，能吸引許多愛美的女武者，所以沈翔掌握這種東西，那他要絕對可以建立一個超級大後宮，因為駐顏丹不是吃一粒就永葆青春的，要連續吃。“哼，你這小壞蛋，敢用這駐顏丹去亂來的話，看我怎麼弄死你！”蘇媚瑤恐嚇著他說道。“哈哈，我可以把這看成是你吃醋了嗎？”沈翔大笑道。“有返老還童丹的話，你要得到的女人會更多，而且都是從老太婆變回來的。...Chapter 1671 - Cause

After leaving the Water Instant Tower, Shen Xiang walked outside and saw the Floating Life Inn. Since he wanted to meet someone from House Hou, he had no choice but to stay there temporarily.

Upon entering the inn, the manager greeted him with a smile and asked, "Are you Senior Shen Dafei"

"Indeed!" The manager knew that he had come, so it was no surprise to him. It must've been the Water Instant Tower that informed them.

The manager called for a server and arranged Shen Xiang's stay in a luxurious room upstairs, which they provided free of charge for ten days.

Receiving a reward for putting out an announcement was quite impressive, making Shen Xiang have a good impression of Floating Life City. This might also be due to his possession of ten billion sacred stones.

To spread the announcement and attract attention, it would take some time, possibly several hours at most. During this period, Shen Xiang could only wait for the Hou family members to arrive.

"This inn should be the best here, quickly bring us some delicious food." Long Xueyi hurriedly urged Shen Xiang.

"But you have plenty of Golden Jade Sacred Fish in here, right" Shen Xiang chuckled. "Didn't you eat them all up"

"Not at all! Such delicious food can't be eaten in one go. Both Pearl and the tiny peacock ate a lot too." Long Xueyi snorted proudly. "Quickly bring us all the delicious food here, since you have so many sacred stones that you can't use them all."

Shen Xiang quickly called for an array of dishes, filling up the round table in the hall.

As soon as the food server left, Long Xueyi appeared and sat down on a chair. Her delicate jade hands were already full of food, quickly sending them into her mouth.

Gong Bai-ling and Pearl came out from the Yin Yao Ring, with Pearl also consuming food like Long Xueyi did—gobbling it down without any daintiness becoming a girl. Gong Bai-ling ate delicately and gracefully when she had her food, making it an enjoyable sight. This contrasted sharply with the two evil spirits beside her.

"Sparrow, don't learn their bad habits in the future. Keep being like how you are now," Shen Xiang smiled.

"Gong Sister, don't you eat" Gong Bai-ling asked him sweetly, picking up a delicate fish for him.

"Thank you!" Shen Xiang smiled.

Most of the dishes on the table were fish, as there was very little land here. Even if there were some lands, they had few beasts on them; most of the creatures lived in water.

After finishing his meal, Shen Xiang paid for it only to discover that the inn didn't accept any sacred stones—this place was free!

"Earlier, we ate over ten thousand sacred stones, which is a significant amount for this inn. If we eat so much every day, it would be over a million sacred stones in ten days! I only asked them to put out the announcement of reward for eighty thousand sacred stones. That's why they did this." Shen Xiang knew that the inn had other motives.

Long Xueyi laughed. "Being free is great, so I won't be shy and will continue tomorrow. The old man from the Water Instant Tower must've informed the leader of Floating Life City. They were probably instructed to treat me well."

"It's not a bad thing not to miss out on such an opportunity!"

Shen Xiang believed he wouldn't stay here for long. As soon as he found Eastern Xin Yue, he would leave this place immediately and even take Eastern Xin Yue away from Sacred Water Heavenly Region.

Less than an hour later, the announcement of reward Shen Xiang put out caused a huge commotion. The whole Floating Life City knew about the large reward being put out.

When Hou family announced it before, people were just as shocked. Now, not long after that, someone else put out a huge announcement of reward targeting the same person!

Eastern Xin Yue had become famous in Floating Life City, even though she hadn't appeared there and no one knew her name. Yet, the beautiful appearance of her face left a deep impression in many people's minds, especially hunters.

As various types of fake information about Eastern Xin Yue spread like wildfire, there were numerous versions!

Shen Xiang was resting in bed when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"An actual Divine King, judging by his aura, he's not a regular one, and rather powerful." Long Xueyi said.

After opening the door, Shen Xiang saw a young man wearing black robes. He had a firm face and an expression of confidence on his face, with sharp eyes that shone. His faint aura was restrained but still powerful.

As Long Xueyi said, he wasn't a regular Divine King—he seemed to have experienced various things in his life.

"I'm Hou Zhongming!" The man smiled at Shen Xiang. "You're Senior Dafei, right You're more powerful than I imagined!"

Hou Zhongming left a good impression on Shen Xiang. However, since Hou family wanted to kill Eastern Xin Yue, he was now Shen Xiang's enemy. Only that conflict hadn't happened yet, so Shen Xiang wouldn't rush to take action.

"Come in." Shen Xiang invited him inside.

"Hurry up and get to the point. Why were you going to capture this woman alive" Hou Zhongming took out a portrait of Eastern Xin Yue. "I've heard about it, and I want to know why we're going to kill this woman."

"That's right, I'm very curious about why you're going to kill her. She's very important to me and can't die," Shen Xiang said. "Can you tell me why you're going to kill her"

That's the reason Hou family decided to send someone over so quickly—capturing Eastern Xin Yue alive with eight billion sacred stones meant that she was extremely important to Shen Xiang.

"Because she physically crippled our future heir, so we must kill her." Hou Zhongming said. His gaze flashed with a killing intent and added, "And I'm in charge of this matter."

Shen Xiang wasn't too surprised, Eastern Xin Yue might look gentle like water but could be ruthless when needed. It must've been the future heir of Hou family who was too aggressive, causing Eastern Xin Yue to kill him.

"I didn't expect it would be like this. Your future heir was crippled, which should've been a big event. How could I find out" Shen Xiang wondered, if they wanted to keep it secret, Hou Zhongming wouldn't have said anything.

"This happened half a year ago, and our young master has now recovered. Before that, he was always unconscious, so I didn't know who the culprit was. Recently, when he woke up, we learned about the culprit," Hou Zhongming said calmly. "We hope you would keep this a secret for us."

"Of course, I will!" Shen Xiang smiled. It was indeed not a dignified thing for Hou family's heir to be crippled.

Hou Zhongming called the future heir as his young master, meaning he didn't have blood ties with Hou family but served them.

"So, why are you going to capture this woman alive How well do you know her We're willing to pay sacred stones for any information about her." Hou Zhongming said.

"Honestly, she's my slave. She stole something precious from me, so I needed to capture her alive and make her return it." Shen Xiang said. "I know very well about her, although she's a bit naughty most of the time, she wouldn't casually harm someone unless they've offended her. Was your young master in any way disrespectful towards her，這樣就不會被髮現了。”沈翔皺眉道：“你為什麼找上我來？你就那麼信得過我，不怕我告訴錢莊的主人？”彭仁義說道：“我相信我自己看人的眼光，你是誤闖進來的小鬼，而且急著出去，你想來錢快，隻有跟我合作！如果你告訴錢莊的莊主，他也給不了你多少！我不知道你外麵的世界是什麼世界，不過你應該很清楚，像錢莊這種地方的主人，大部分都是守財奴，都是吝嗇鬼。”沈翔一臉鄙夷：“你之前還說這裡是比較有愛的地方，我還以為真的...
