On the contrary, they flock to wealth, beautiful women, fine wine and delicious food... simply because... martial artists are also human!

Therefore, a significant portion of the world's grandmasters and first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate experts are members of the imperial court. They are the powerful and influential figures in the court, enjoying the best treatment and being the most crucial and core force in the various factional struggles within the court. They are truly the great men!

After all, force is power!

To deal with a top-tier expert like Ji Dachuan, one must use another top-tier expert. However, top-tier experts in the imperial court hold extraordinary positions and enjoy the privileges of first-rank ministers. Asking them to abandon their wealth and status to fight a brute is something they would only do as a last resort.

Therefore, as long as Ji Dachuan doesn't go too far, he can basically do whatever he wants in this capital city.

At this moment, Ji Dachuan also brought Hui to an inn called "Hongfu".

Chapter 179 Getting Married

People come and go at the entrance of the inn.

There were many people eating and chatting about interesting stories from the martial arts world in the lobby on the first floor.

At this moment, at one of the tables further inside, two men who looked like江湖人士 (jianghu figures, people from the martial arts world) were chatting.

One of them said, "Hey, did you see that woman outside? Damn, she's gorgeous! She's just as beautiful as the most beautiful courtesan in the garden!"

Upon hearing this, the other person quickly stopped him, saying, "Are you out of your mind? Didn't you see the person next to him? Don't get any ideas!"

"Hmm, what's wrong with that guy? He looks like a complete brute."

"Shh, you're crazy. You don't know him, but don't you recognize that knife?"

"A sword?!" The man stared intently for a long time before suddenly exclaiming, "Could this be the legendary Dragon Scale Purple Gold Sword?! And could he be the renowned Sword Master Ji Dachuan, the Great Hero Ji?!"

"Yes, it is said that this Ba Dao Ji Da Chuan has only been in the martial arts world for two years, but the record he left behind is indeed illustrious. In particular, the battle that made Master Ji famous: the patriarch of Tianji Sect, one of the eight major sects in the martial arts world, tried to kill him, but he successfully escaped."

"Ancestor Tianji, isn't that a Grandmaster?! Could it be that Hero Ji has already become a Grandmaster at such a young age?!"

The two had unconsciously begun to address Ji Dachuan as "Hero Ji," reflecting people's heartfelt respect and fear for the strong.

"No, not at all. Legend has it that Master Ji first fought against the Tianji Sect Master, who was also a first-rate expert, but the Tianji Sect Master was no match for him and even lost an arm. In the end, the Tianji Sect Ancestor was alerted, but at this time, Master Ji used a sword technique that had never been heard of before. With one strike, he destroyed heaven and earth, and fought the Tianji Sect Ancestor to a standstill. In the end, he fought his way out and successfully escaped."

"What! That's amazing! What kind of swordsmanship is that?"

"Hey, you don't know this, do you? Rumor has it that Master Ji received the inheritance of the innate master, Heavenly Blade Li Ba, so..."

·······

The conversation between the two did not attract the attention of Ji Dachuan and Hui, after all, it was noisy here.

Furthermore, even if Ji Dachuan heard it, he wouldn't care, because rumors in the martial arts world are always exaggerated. He clearly used the supreme lightness skill—the Void and Ethereal Chaotic Escape Technique—but in the mouths of the martial arts world, it was described as an unparalleled swordsmanship. And what's this talk about fighting a grandmaster to a standstill? Do they really think the title of "grandmaster" is just something to be casually uttered?

"Miss Lin, I apologize for any offense!" Ji Dachuan said to Hui at this moment.

"Hmm." Hui said as she dismounted. As her pink buttocks left the hard saddle, a numbing pain made her frown, but she tried her best to remain calm, after all, they were on the street.

Without further hesitation, Ji Dachuan reached out his large, rough hand to catch Hui as she dismounted. Hui's body was very light, at least to Ji Dachuan; she wasn't even as heavy as his Dragon Scale Purple Gold Blade. However, unlike the Dragon Scale Purple Gold Blade, the fresh, youthful scent and fragrance emanating from Hui's tender body made Ji Dachuan's hard-to-calm heart flutter again. Ji Dachuan felt his breathing become rapid, and the touch in his hand felt like holding a newborn kitten, as if he were afraid of hurting her if he used too much force.

The same applies to Hui.

Hui's body had been subjected to various forms of training since childhood. Hui remembered that in Dong'er's memories, she was forced to take a medicinal bath every night. It was a light green herbal soup, and only she and her two older sisters could take it. The other dancers did not have this privilege.

Dong'er remembers very clearly that every time she and her two older sisters took a medicinal bath, their faces would turn red, their hearts would race, and their breathing would become rapid... especially in their groin and chest areas, which were incredibly itchy. However, their hands were already tied behind their backs, and there was a nanny watching them from outside the tub, so they could only endure it.

Therefore, every time Dong'er takes a medicinal bath, it is an ordeal.

Hui felt that this was the reason why her body was unusually sensitive.

Although such a body would certainly provide men with plenty of fun, Hui was now feeling tense.

Because of the close contact with Ji Dachuan, the masculine scent wafting from Xiu's nose made Hui's heart flutter, and Hui felt a sticky sensation between her legs.

Hui secretly glanced around. Fortunately, no one seemed to notice anything unusual about her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

After Hui landed on the ground with Ji Dachuan's help, Ji Dachuan asked, "Miss Lin, how is your foot?"

"It seems to be better, but I'm not sure." Hui felt that her foot was fine, but based on her medical knowledge from her previous life, "it takes a hundred days to recover from a bone or tendon injury," she felt it was impossible for it to heal so quickly.

Ji Dachuan understood immediately.

The ointment he applied to Hui was not some cheap street-sold plaster, but a priceless Hundred Ginseng Dragon Bone Plaster, made from dozens of precious medicinal ginsengs aged for hundreds of years, such as black ginseng, snow ginseng, ground ginseng, ginseng, river ginseng, etc., along with other medicinal herbs.

This was originally intended to treat internal injuries caused by internal force. Using it to treat a minor sprain is like using a nuclear bomb to kill a chicken.

So Hui's foot injury has completely healed.

"Miss Lin, your foot should be fine now. Try walking around."

"Okay." Hui tried stepping on the ground, and sure enough, it didn't hurt anymore.

She took a few more steps, and the pain still subsided. Hui thought it was amazing; if she could bring this medicine to the modern world, it would definitely be a trillion-dollar company! However, it was just a thought, since she couldn't possibly go back.

Seeing Hui's adorable, bewildered expression as she tentatively examined her injuries, Ji Dachuan smiled knowingly.

The two entered the inn.

Immediately, a friendly waiter stepped forward and greeted Ji Dachuan with a smile, "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay at the inn?"

"Check in. Book one superior room and one ordinary room. Also, let the horse go down and feed it some water and hay."

"Alright! This way, sir." The waiter led Ji Dachuan to the counter to complete some formalities. Meanwhile, Hui was staring intently at the food of the diners in the inn, her eyes sparkling with admiration, and her mouth watering.

'It looks delicious.'

After the formalities were completed, the waiter bowed and said, "This way, please, gentlemen."

The waiter led the two up the wooden stairs on the first floor to the second floor of the inn. After passing through a corridor about eight meters long, they arrived at a room.

Hui then realized that there was more to the story behind the inn. What she had seen in front was just one of the inn's buildings; right next to the inn at the back, there was another building specifically for living quarters.

The waiter opened the door, and Ji Dachuan walked in without hesitation.

Just as Hui was about to go in, the waiter stopped her and said, "Miss, your room is on the third floor. Please follow me."

"Huh?" But Hui looked at Ji Dachuan's WeChat message in the room and had no doubts. She followed the waiter to the third floor. The floor here was covered with red carpets, and there were even fewer rooms. There were only two rooms in a row, which was far from the six guest rooms that Hui had seen on the second floor.

The waiter opened the red wooden door with its openwork design, and a faint scent of sandalwood wafted out.

Hui followed her into the room. A delicate triangular-round wooden table, covered with fine brocade, greeted her eyes. A set of exquisite tea utensils sat quietly. A screen divided the room in two, beyond which lay layers of gauze curtains. A gentle breeze stirred, causing the curtains inside to sway softly, revealing a large, seemingly luxurious bed. Its intricate carvings spoke of its exceptional quality, and a brocade quilt covered it. Beside the bed stood a purplish-red sandalwood wardrobe, its walls adorned with delicately carved patterns. Landscape paintings and calligraphy hung on the walls. The entire room was impeccably arranged, exuding a refined and graceful atmosphere.

After Xiao Er left, Hui couldn't bear it any longer and lay down on her bed in her room. Because of sitting on that hard saddle for so long, Hui's buttocks were now very sore.

Only a bed covered with a cotton quilt can provide relief.

A short while later.

Ji Dachuan's voice came from outside the door: "Miss Lin, would you like to have your meal downstairs, or would you like to ask the waiter to bring it to your room?"

When Hui heard Ji Dachuan's voice, she happily went to open the door and said to Ji Dachuan, "Well, I'll just do the same as Brother Ji."

"Let's go downstairs to eat then."

“Okay,” Hui replied happily, thinking to herself, ‘It’s finally lunchtime.’

In the lobby on the first floor.

Ji Dachuan and Hui occupied a table on the side. Ji Dachuan called over the waiter and ordered several dishes that sounded delicious just from their names.

The dishes were served quickly, and the two began to eat.

They had only been eating for a short while when they heard faint conversations coming from another table not far away.

"Hey, have you heard? Rumor has it that the Emperor is going to appoint an Empress, and the one he's going to be is Nangong Bingqing, the most beautiful woman in the world, who is both virtuous and talented."

Click!

The chopsticks Ji Dachuan was holding snapped in two with a crack...

Chapter 180 Relying on Oneself

Hui was startled by Ji Dachuan's actions. She looked at him with a puzzled expression, gently biting her chopsticks, and asked cautiously, "Brother Ji, what's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

"That's all." Ji Dachuan replied to Hui perfunctorily, feeling annoyed, and then yelled at the waiter, "Waiter, bring a big bowl and some wine."

"Alright, sir, it'll be right there."

The young servant was quick and efficient, carrying a jar of wine. As soon as he opened the seal, a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

Hui asked carefully, and the smell was very mellow, strong, and fragrant.

Ji Dachuan poured himself a bowl from the jar and then gulped it down in one go.

I poured another bowl and drank it all in one gulp...

He and Nangong Bingqing had known each other for seven years.

At that time, he was just an ordinary farmer in a village at the foot of the world. One day, he went up the mountain to chop firewood as usual.

I saw a snow-like fairy.

The little girl was very lively and cute, with a fair oval face and a pair of bright, clear eyes under her curved eyebrows, sparkling like stars. She seemed to be thinking of something, and smiled excitedly at herself, her eyes curving like crescent moons, as if her spirit was overflowing.

Then, to his astonishment and before his own horrified gaze, with a few leaps, he vanished from his sight without a trace on the snow.

He initially thought it was just his imagination.

But the hairband that the girl accidentally dropped as she left told him that this was not an illusion.

The most beautiful girl Ji Dachuan had ever seen in his life was Wang Cuihua, the daughter of the village chief in his village. He once thought that Wang Cuihua was the most beautiful woman in the world.

But after seeing Nangong Bingqing on the snow-capped mountain, he realized what a beauty truly was.

After that, he couldn't sleep at night or eat. He just kept going up the mountain to chop firewood every day, regardless of whether there was enough.

After a month of perseverance, he finally saw Nangong Bingqing again.

It was at that time that he took a step that would change his life, transforming himself from a timid farmer.

Normally, a farmer like him should have lived a simple, honest life farming, married a girl from the village, had one or two children, and lived out his life like that.

However, the moment he saw Nangong Bingqing, he... had a certain idea.

That was the first time the toad in the deep well looked up at the sky!

He took that step.

After a month of careful consideration, he clumsily managed to establish a connection with Nangong Bingqing by returning the hairband.

Nangong Bingqing was just a child at that time. She and her master spent their time in Tianshan practicing martial arts, which was incredibly boring.
