Chapter 902: Chapter 902: Chance Encounter with Cheng Ku

"Why, why are you like this? Don’t you know how to be a little more considerate toward a girl?"

Lan Ji asked with a blush, but she wasn’t actually angry inside.

It’s the first time she’s seen someone as bold as Lin Kuang, and Lan Ji found Lin Kuang quite interesting.

Especially with the unique charm Lin Kuang possessed, it made Lan Ji curious enough to boldly invite him for drinks.

Mind you, many talented young men in Zhenlin City wanted to invite Lan Ji for drinks, but she never accepted.

Yet she proactively invited Lin Kuang, which was a huge honor for him.

"Ahem, I’m just an honest person from the mountains, I say what comes to mind, don’t be mad."

Lin Kuang said.

Upon hearing this, Lan Ji shot Lin Kuang a disapproving look. A mountain person? Is this guy really from the mountains?

Lan Ji thought to herself as a waiter brought the dishes Lan Ji ordered to the table.

Four dishes, none of which Lin Kuang recognized, but they smelled incredibly appetizing, making him hungry.

"They look pretty good."

Looking at the food and drinks, Lin Kuang said with a smile.

"Of course, these four dishes and a pot of wine are worth over three hundred middle grade Profound Crystals."

At this time, Lan Ji hummed.

"That expensive?"

Hearing Lan Ji’s words, Lin Kuang asked in surprise.

He really hadn’t expected the table to cost over three hundred middle grade Profound Crystals, which was over three thousand low grade Profound Crystals!

"Of course, did you think it would be cheap?"

Lan Ji said with a roll of her eyes.

"Alright, I really didn’t think it would be so expensive."

Lin Kuang said awkwardly.

"Alright then, try the taste."

Lan Ji said with a smile, then lifted her wine cup and filled Lin Kuang’s glass, as well as her own.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang wasn’t shy, and picked up the chopsticks made of unknown materials to casually grab a piece of meat.

Tasting a piece, Lin Kuang’s face showed surprise; the flavor was indeed very tasty.

Most notably, as he was eating, Lin Kuang clearly felt a stream of pure Profound Qi infused into his body from the delectable meat.

"It’s delicious."

Lin Kuang said seriously.

"Of course, Mortal Fairyland isn’t called that for nothing.

Try Qingfeng Brew, it’s the signature wine of Mortal Fairyland, something most people can’t even drink."

Looking at Lin Kuang, Lan Ji said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded and lifted his head to pour the Qingfeng Brew into his mouth.

A sweet taste blossomed in Lin Kuang’s mouth, and there was also an unfamiliar fragrance within the Qingfeng Brew, which was very pleasant.

Of course, Lin Kuang was more surprised by the Profound Qi contained within the Qingfeng Brew.

The Profound Qi was very pure and abundant, enough to equal a day of cultivation for an ordinary person.

"It’s good, just not strong enough."

Lin Kuang said with a laugh.

"Hmm, I can’t handle drinks that are too strong; this matches my taste."

Lan Ji said with a smile.

The next moment, she also raised her cup and took a sip.

"Lan Ji, how long have you been in Zhenlin City?"

Eating his food, Lin Kuang asked with a smile.

"How long? About three years, I think? Roughly, I can’t quite remember."

Lan Ji replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded lightly.

"Why ask that?"

At this moment, Lan Ji asked.

"Nothing, just asking out of boredom, can’t ask?"

Lin Kuang said with a smile.

"No problem, ask whatever you want."

Lan Ji said with a smile.

The feeling of chatting with Lin Kuang was excellent, and it was quite enjoyable for Lan Ji.

"Alright then, what’s your true identity?"

Looking at Lan Ji, Lin Kuang asked again.

"You want to know?"

Lan Ji said with a smile.

"Of course, just wondering if it’s convenient for you to say."

Lin Kuang said with a smile.

"Actually, it’s not convenient."

Lan Ji replied playfully.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but roll his eyes: "That answer is worse than not saying anything."

"It’s different, at least I answered; whether you can get an answer is your problem."

Lan Ji said with a smile.

"Alright, no wonder you’re an auctioneer, I can’t out-talk you."

Lin Kuang said with some helplessness.

Looking at Lin Kuang’s slightly aggrieved expression, Lan Ji couldn’t help but laugh joyfully.

"Though your smile is beautiful, laughing so recklessly in front of a big man like me, I might just get tempted."

Not liking Lan Ji’s unrestrained laugh, Lin Kuang said.

"Come on, I’m not afraid of you."

Lan Ji said with a playful wink.

"If you say that, don’t blame me for taking action."

Lin Kuang replied.

"It’s as if I’m scared of you."

Lan Ji said defiantly.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang felt like teasing the beauty, but the atmosphere wasn’t right.

"Alright then, I’ll teach you a lesson when we finish eating."

Lin Kuang said again.

"Hmph."

Lan Ji huffed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang smiled slightly, and the two continued their conversation in great spirits.

Just as the two were chatting, two men walked over.

"I didn’t expect to run into you here after all."

Looking at Lin Kuang, one of the men said with a cold laugh, his eyes even showing a hint of murder.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang was slightly taken aback; the voice sounded somewhat familiar, prompting Lin Kuang to turn around.

"It’s you, Cheng Ku, do you have something to discuss?"

Looking at the white-robed Cheng Ku, Lin Kuang asked indifferently, not giving him any attention.

"Of course there’s something, you snatched my Demon Core, do you think I wouldn’t have business with you?"

Cheng Ku said with a cold laugh.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but laugh: "Can you still have a bit of conscience?

The war mammoth back then was killed by me; if I hadn’t intervened, you all would have died.

And now you have the nerve to say the Demon Core is yours? How shameless can you be? How thick is your skin?"

Looking at Cheng Ku, Lin Kuang said with a cold laugh.

Lin Kuang felt this guy was utterly shameless, practically thicker-skinned than himself.

Listening to Lin Kuang’s words, Cheng Ku’s expression darkened several shades.

After all, Lin Kuang spoke the truth; Cheng Ku had no valid claim, but that didn’t matter — since he couldn’t argue the case, he’d resort to sophistry.

Especially when he had a master by his side, Cheng Ku refused to believe he couldn’t deal with Lin Kuang!

Actually, seeing Lin Kuang was unexpected for Cheng Ku, he didn’t anticipate Lin Kuang visiting Mortal Fairyland, so he fortuitously spotted Lin Kuang’s figure.

This is why Cheng Ku came over to Lin Kuang and brought his senior brother along.

This senior brother is also someone from his grandfather’s group, belonging to their faction.

Naturally, this senior brother was quite obedient to Cheng Ku, thus accompanying him.
