Meng Wan's expression was complicated, with fear and hesitation.
But in the end, she insisted, "Thank you for your reminder, but I have my reasons for going."
The young man frowned, but didn't say much.
The younger sister turned around and looked at her brother, "Brother, she is going the same way as us, why don't we take her with us into the city? More people means more care."
"No."
The young man rejected her coldly, “You just saw it. When she faced the robbery cultivator, she had no power to fight back. Her cultivation was just for show.
You alone are holding me back, and you want to find someone else to hold me back?"
After being rejected, there was no embarrassment on my sister's face.
"Oh, why am I holding you back? Isn't it that I don't have the chance to take action? Brother, can you bear to ignore such a weak woman?"
The younger sister pulled the young man's hand and acted coquettishly, while winking at him.
The young man was annoyed by the noise and had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, since we're on the way, I can allow her to go into the city with us, but after we enter the city, we have to go our separate ways."
My sister suppressed her smile and nodded, "I know."
Meng Wan was very surprised, but also a little apologetic, and quickly assured them, "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for you!"
The younger sister chuckled and waved her hand, then whispered to Meng Wan.
"Actually, my brother looks difficult to get along with, but he's actually a warm-hearted person. Once we get into the city, he definitely won't chase you away."
Meng Wan gave the other party a grateful smile, "My name is Zhang Wan'er, I haven't asked for your name yet?"
"My name is Shen Zihan, and my brother is Shen Zixuan."
Meng Wan nodded, but she was pouting in her heart.
These two names are so common that they are obviously pseudonyms.
But she also used a pseudonym, so we are all the same.
This brother and sister also came to Hengyue City for the first time and were not very familiar with the situation here.
However, Shen Zixuan had amazing swordsmanship, and after killing off two groups of robbers, the three of them successfully arrived at the gate of Hengyue City.
While queuing at the city gate, Shen Zihan whispered to Meng Wan.
"I heard from my elders that there is a Jindan cultivator in charge of Hengyue City."
Meng Wan opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Golden Core Cultivator, isn't that a more powerful existence than a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?"
Meng Wan's ignorant look made Shen Zihan laugh secretly, but she looked serious.
"Of course. Hengyue City is adjacent to the Tianheng Mountains. We must have a strong man to stay in the city in order to deter the monsters in the mountains."
The three of them paid the entrance fee and entered the city smoothly. As expected, Shen Zixuan did not mention letting Meng Wan leave.
Meng Wan took the opportunity to shamelessly rely on the two of them.
Along the way, Shen Zihan was like a little oriole, chattering non-stop and asking about Meng Wan from time to time.
"Sister Wan'er, you are so young, but you have already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Are you from a cultivation family like us?"
Shen Zihan's innocent tone was full of temptation.
If Meng Wan was really as naive as she appeared to be, she might be deceived by the other party's appearance.
But she is also good at acting.
Meng Wan sighed, "Actually, I ran away without telling my family, I left in a hurry, and I didn't take anything with me.
My father was a foundation-building cultivator, but unfortunately after an accident, his Dantian was damaged and his cultivation level plummeted. I was also ostracized in the clan..."
Having said this, Meng Wan smiled bitterly.
"My main purpose for coming to Hengyue City is to find elixirs to help my father recover as soon as possible."
Shen Zihan looked at Meng Wan with sympathy. The elixir that could repair the Dantian was extremely precious, and even a Jindan cultivator might not be able to find it.
It is ridiculous that she, a Qi-refining cultivator, dares to have such delusions.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up Sister Wan'er's sad memories..."
Meng Wan shook her head, looking as if she had let it go.
"It doesn't matter. I know there's little hope, but I just want to do my best so that I don't have any regrets."
After Shen Zihan comforted Meng Wan for a few words, she quickly changed the subject and said seriously.
“Before we left, the elders in our clan told my brother and me that the situation in Hengyue City was complicated, and there were many demon cultivators hiding their identities.
We must be careful not to get into conflict with others."
Meng Wan nodded seriously, "Thank you, Fairy Shen, for telling me this. I'll take note of it."
In fact, in Meng Wan's opinion, compared with the Xuanyin Sect and Yinyue Market, the public security in Hengyue City is already quite good.
At least in the city, no one dared to cause a death in public.
After walking around Hengyue City for a while, Shen Zihan touched her stomach and couldn't walk in front of a restaurant.
"Brother, I'm hungry. How about eating something first and then finding a place to stay?"
Shen Zixuan was helpless, "Don't we have the Bigu Pill?"
"That thing can only fill my stomach, but it can't satisfy my cravings. I want to eat meat!"
Shen Zihan said with a dissatisfied look on her face.
After taking the fasting pills for so many days, she had already had enough.
"alright."
Shen Zixuan didn't say anything more. He walked into the restaurant and asked for a private room.
The waiter served tea and handed the menu to the three people, smiling.
"We have newly arrived golden-eyed monkey meat. Would you like some?"
Shen Zihan looked at him suspiciously, "The Golden Eyed Ape is a Foundation Establishment Realm monster. Can you even provide Foundation Establishment Realm monster meat?"
The waiter still had a smile on his face and enthusiastically promoted the product.
"We offer some dishes made with foundation-building monster meat every day, but the price is a bit expensive. Would you like to order some?"
Shen Zihan opened the menu and the first page was stir-fried golden-eyed ape meat, which was priced at six hundred spirit stones per serving.
She couldn't help but curl her lips, "So expensive?"
I originally wanted to try the golden-eyed ape, but when I saw the price, I instantly gave up the idea.
She had eaten the meat of Foundation Establishment stage monsters when she was in the clan. Although it contained more spiritual energy than the meat of Qi Refining stage monsters, that was all.
All the essence was picked up by the Foundation Establishment cultivators, and what was left for the Qi Refining cultivators to eat was all dregs.
If you really want to practice by eating monster meat, you'd probably have to eat ten or so servings to see any effect. It's better to just take drugs.
Shen Zihan flipped through the menu and ordered a few dishes that interested her.
"First, have a plate of stir-fried fire civet meat, a serving of jade fairy mushroom soup, a serving of stir-fried spiritual bamboo shoots, and three servings of spiritual rice. That's all."
Meng Wan waved her hands quickly, "Two portions of spiritual rice are enough, you two can eat them, I won't use any."
"It's okay, we've already ordered, let's eat together."
Shen Zihan put the menu back on the table, "Brother, pay!"
The waiter took the menu, went over the dishes in his mind, and quoted the price skillfully.
"Including the cost of tea, the discount is 156 spirit stones."
Just these three dishes actually cost one or two hundred spirit stones. Meng Wan, who has always spent spirit stones wisely, found this unacceptable.
But when the dishes and spiritual rice were served, she took a few bites and found that the fasting pills were really unpalatable.
