Chapter 104 - 104
"Well... that was easier than i expected." Clark commented as he rubbed his long black beard against the unnatural windy atmosphere of this dry hot noon.
His lengthy raven mane flowed ruggedly over his shoulders that painted a great aesthetic image for his spectators.
And yes, the fans that our good gamer has accrued in his short three day stay in the city of Nexus numbered at least in the millions and not lower.
After all, he was the one who conquered this whole metropolis in just the span of one night and contrary to popular belief three days prior, not one person of Nexus has lost his or her life in the exchange of ownership at all.
Perhaps only Emissary Duan Ru of the Demonic Sword Sect has been so unlucky to meet Death prematurely but he was of course not to be counted in the list.
The doomed man was after all nothing more but an alien occupant of the city. And only he himself knew of the extent of the atrocities he had inflicted unto the citizens of this city.
No one shed a tear of sorrow unto someone of Duan Ru\'s ilk.
Especially now that after the sudden catastrophe struck, it was Clark who provided relief and order to the chaos and despair of the people.
In just a few hours, the city of Nexus was created from the ground up once more with the help of thousands of Clark\'s cultivator armies that could carry mountains on their backs and mold landscapes with just a single tap of a hand.
This mortal city has truly been reeducated on their view about cultivators and their unbelievable might.
The city of Nexus was rebuilt and was even reinforced to a better grandeur than its past glory.
"Look at Master Lu Chen! Doesn\'t he look handsome and brave?"
"I hear that Master Lu Chen is still single!"
"We still have a chance to be one of Master Lu Chen\'s wives!"
"Are you all dreaming?! Look at yourselves and look at Princess Ning Xi!"
"Even the three of you combined could not even match a strand of hair against the extraordinary beauty that Princess Ning Xi possesses!"
"So it is best that you stop your daydreaming right now and help me carry this jar of water unto the workers in the field!" The miscellaneous NPCs had an interesting conversation on the side.
In the past three days that Nexus had been conquered, everyone witnessed how the way of life changed for the better.
Clark introduced an end to poverty by opening the hidden caches of gold that was monopolized by the 13 most powerful clans in the city.
He did not even spare his Lu Family from the redistribution of wealth unto the hands of the people.
After our bored gamer did that, it was surprising to see that there were still loads of riches left in the aftermath. There was really enough for everybody if only everyone knew how to share.
And also during the said transformation, the populace could also not help but notice the unmatched maiden at the side of Clark.
This was probably due to the fact that Princess Ning Xi spearheaded the charge towards giving aid to the poor and the sick.
Her kindness and dedication to the less fortunate souls of the city showed through her actions in these past 3 days.
Thus, Princess Ning Xi may have even surpassed Clark\'s own in terms of adoration held by the entire people of Nexus. Ning Xi was indeed a very special lady.
This was why our good gamer was having second thoughts about what he was about to do with the aforementioned beautiful girl.
\'I don\'t want to lose, Ning Xi... especially now that i know that she\'s so amazing not only on the outside but also inside. She\'s a gem! I need to keep her!\' Clark fed the alpha male inside himself.
\'But... I also don\'t want to force her to come with me to the Demonic Sword Sect. Tang Xinyue is there and it would give unwanted friction between the two.\'
\'So who should i choose?\' Our bored gamer mused for some time because he was torn between two very good prospective lovers at the moment.
Lu Chen can\'t get over Tang Xinyue and Clark on the other hand could also not forget his first kiss in life which was with Princess Ning Xi on their first meeting.
\'FUCK ME! How can picking between two equally gorgeous girls be this hard?! This shouldn\'t be happening to me at all!\'
Clark recalled his original life and thought there were pretty ladies who wanted to catch his attention but their hook and allure wasn\'t yet that strong than today.
\'It\'s all Lu Chen\'s fault. I absolutely hate that dead guy!\' Clark cursed for the umpteenth time as he attributed this imbalance to his psyche towards the old lecherous man.
For he used to be innocent from the pull of the flesh and its myriad of pleasures but now it seemed that he could really not stay both sane and celibate at the same time.
This might have been because of Lu Chen\'s natural tendency for lewdness.
Alas, it was like Clark was cursing himself in the process because an equivalent half of his soul retorted immensely against these blatant accusations.
In the end, Clark could only try to satisfy the two distinct cravings of his being.
"Let\'s do this!" Clark muttered in a hard voice and walked towards a group of bustling ladies.
There was like an open galore of cooking exhibitions in front of his residence with about hundreds of gigantic pots on display.
And in several spots all around the city, a scene like this was also currently ongoing.
This was the allotted food to feed the mouths of a hundred million people and it was indeed a rare treat for these mortals because every single dish on the menu were priceless magical beast\'s meat that will bring huge physical benefits unto the masses.
Especially since Clark was not the least bit stingy in sharing his blessings to the people.
"Can i speak with the two of you for a moment?" Clark asked when he reached his destination in mind.
"Of course, Master Lu Chen. It would be our pleasure to do so!" It was Wan Fei who replied with the same enthusiasm in her voice towards Clark.
With all these real people around them, she was well aware to shout Lu Chen\'s name and not the other identity.
This smart lady has been trying to get her paws on our good gamer since day one and yet for some unknown reason, she noticed that Clark decided to lock himself up inside his room for as long as they\'ve been here in the city.
They would only get to see each other at meals and those were rather fleeting in scale. Thus, Wan Fei has not really been able to do anything else but wait for a good opportunity to strike.
\'I think that my chance has finally arrived.\' Wan Fei thought positively as she smiled sweetly towards the object of her interest. Princess Ning Xi was a step behind in the trail.
They walked into the reconstructed Lu Family Courtyard but the same could not be anymore said to the present.
What was a large area of residence before was now a total fortress in comparison to its prior design.
There were masked guards all over the place and if one was curious enough, it could be perceived with due diligence and patience that these dull men and women in black assassin uniforms neither moved nor breathed much in their stale positions.
The three passed the gates and into the cover of the grand building that was solely designed to cater the Master of the City.
"I have something to tell you." Clark started when they arrived at one of the private chambers of his castle.
"What is it, Clark?" Wan Fei replied as usual. Beside her, Princess Ning Xi kept quiet like always and Clark was already used to it by now.
He might have been guilty of ignoring her because he was kind of preoccupied these days due to his stunted level up speed but still, that has not at all meant that the beautiful maiden has totally escaped his curiosity for a moment.
"I have plans to go to the Demonic Sword Sect. And I want both of you to come with me." Clark stated his wishes.
They were all standing at the center of the room and our good gamer was also not in the mood to play right now.
Cultivators could even stand up for an entire day and would only feel a little bit of numbness as consequence and nothing more.
"What are we going to do there, Clark? Do you want to enter the sect as an Elder perhaps?" Wan Fei asked innocently.
She has of course done her homework and knew almost everything there was to know about this mysterious man before her.
"I have someone i need to see. A friend." Clark nodded twice as he delivered his cryptic answer.
"If that\'s your wish then I would gladly come along, Clark. I and Xi\'er will accompany you in your travels."
The sexy mature woman smiled and our bored gamer could not help but gulp slightly to hide his desire.
"How about you, Ning Xi?" Clark queried after he gathered himself in five breaths.
If this lovely maiden would reject his invitation today then he would have no choice but to send her back together with Wan Fei to the city of Haran in response.
There was no point in dragging them along that would further complicate his chances towards Tang Xinyue.
\'After all, I could always woo Ning Xi again after I won Tang Xinyue\'s affection.\' Clark thought and he almost smiled on the spot.
Alas, there were things in life that could never go the way we plan.
"I will come with you... Clark." Ning Xi replied in a soft voice.
\'Oh! Shit! What just happened?!\'
