Chapter 92: Investigating Information and Seeking Votes

  The woman selling wine at the counter was a red-haired woman, about 27 or 28 years old, wearing a semi-transparent red gauze skirt, with a slender figure, her body soft as if she had no bones.

  Xia Yan wasn't good at drinking, but since he came to this bar, he naturally couldn't just sit there without buying a drink, so he casually ordered a bottle.

  "Little brother, you've just arrived in our Ox Snake Town, haven't you?"

  The woman's eyes were sharp, and although her face was lazy with a look of not caring at all, she had actually seen that Xia Yan had just arrived in Niusha Town.

  Xia Yan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "Yes, that's right. I've only been in Niushetown for less than an incense stick of time."

  "Heh heh, little brother, most people who come to Ox Snake Town are either seeking treasure in the Forest of Evil or hunting enemies to gain merit. I wonder which one you're here for?" The woman raised an eyebrow, her eyes changing as she leaned forward, her chest almost touching Xia Yan's, curiously sizing him up. She had been working at this bar for ten years and had seen countless cultivators, but ones as young as Xia Yan who came to Ox Snake Town alone were rare.

  "I'm also going to the Devil's Forest to search for treasure." Xia Yan's eyes flashed as he said this, which wasn't anything worth hiding.

  "Hey, boss lady, another jar!"

  Just as the woman was about to say something, a group of people at a nearby table stood up and shouted loudly at the red-clad old lady.

  "Oh dear, here it comes, sir, please wait a moment!" The proprietress gave Xia Yan a flirtatious glance and then swayed her soft waist as she walked back, instantly a pungent fragrance swept past Xia Yan's nose.

  Xia Yan shrugged and his ears perked up again.

  Xia Yan poured a cup of light green liquor from the wine jug and brought it to his lips, taking a gentle sip. The liquor was not very strong, and after swallowing, there was a sweet fragrance that lingered in his throat.

  "Haha, last time I went to the Forest of Evil with my big brother, we hadn't even entered yet when we ran into a few robbers outside. These robbers actually wanted to rob us! Haha, they didn't even see what kind of people we were, thinking they could rob us? In the end, my big brother and I led our brothers to kill them all off, and their wealth all belonged to us."

  A long-faced man on a table nearby spat out a mouthful of wine and laughed loudly.

  Bandits, just some robbers and thieves.

  Xia Yan's heart moved slightly. It seems that in this forest of evil, the dangers are not only poisonous insects and beasts, but also some humans who must be careful!

  "That's right, with a strong man like Liu Ge, those who try to rob him are simply blind and deserve to be killed."

  The other big man in black clothes sitting at the same table as the long-faced man laughed and said.

  The long-faced man was overjoyed when he heard this, his face filled with great joy. He immediately continued to say: "Today I'm happy, and I'll tell you something else. Recently, a relic was discovered in this evil forest, which is said to contain an extraordinary secret manual. Whoever gets this manual will be able to learn the unparalleled martial skills that can dominate the world."

  The long-faced man's eyes flashed, and his already somewhat flushed face also became serious at this time. Although he lowered his voice, Xia Yan still heard every word he said clearly.

  "What? Remains? Secret Classics?"

  The people at the same table suddenly widened their eyes and became spirited.

  For cultivators, martial skills are even more alluring than vast amounts of money.

  Advanced martial skills are too difficult to come by, and even with money, they can't be bought. Otherwise, how could the Xia family's wealth only have three human-level secret books? Those advanced secret books were accumulated slowly over a very long period of history. For ordinary cultivators, getting an entry-level secret book is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

  "Hmph!"

  "Keep your voice down, this message must not be leaked out. Cough, at the entrance of that ancient ruin, there is a fierce and ferocious spiritual beast guarding it. That spiritual beast, don't even mention how powerful it is, I personally saw more than ten experts attacking it, and it directly slapped eight of them to death with one palm. I think that spiritual beast is even more powerful than the Spiritual Master." The long-faced man lowered his voice again, glancing around left and right.

  Around them, there was only Xia Yan's table. Xia Yan looked like a young man, so his gaze only stayed for a moment before withdrawing again.

  Even a spiritual master cannot kill these eight cultivators all at once.

  When the long-faced man spoke, everyone else gasped in shock and horror. The spiritual beasts of the Forest of Sin generally had their own territories, and as long as humans did not intentionally provoke them, they would not attack humans on their own initiative.

  Spirit beasts are not ordinary wild beasts, they all have some wisdom.

  "Come on, let's have a drink..."

  One person recovered from shock and picked up a black bowl, saying to others, the other few people also laughed and picked up their bowls to drink.

  But Xia Yan heard this news, and couldn't help but pay attention. These ruins are generally the treasure-hiding places left behind by some peerless powerhouses. Generally speaking, there won't just be secret manuals, but possibly some peerless divine weapons, or some alchemy recipes, anyway they will definitely be treasures worth a city.

  Just as Xia Yan was thinking about how to continue investigating this news, several people walked in at the entrance of the bar.

  These few people, three men and one woman, two of them used long swords as their weapons, while the other two used broad-bladed knives.

  "What? No more seats?"

  The four people led by one person scanned the entire hall with their eyes and said loudly.

  The lady boss in red hurried out, "Ah, several noble guests, how can there be no seats? Several, please come inside quickly, there is only one guest at that table."

  The lady in red smiled all over her face, and the table she was referring to was naturally the one where Xia Yan sat.

  Although the bar was noisy, Xia Yan could still hear clearly. He glanced at these people who had just come in and didn't feel disgusted. Especially that woman, she looked very cute, with bright eyes and white teeth, her figure was small and delicate, wearing a white qipao, looking quite capable.

  "Brother, I think we should sit there. We've been walking all day and I'm almost dead from exhaustion." The woman glanced at Xia Yan before turning her gaze to the man standing beside her who was hesitating.

  Hearing his sister say that, the man smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go ask that little brother if he doesn't mind, we can sit down over there."

  "Big brother, what's the point of asking? We can just go over and sit down. This bar isn't his family's anyway." Another man complained with a glare.

  The man in front looked at the talkative man and scolded: "Shut up, I don't let you speak, don't speak."

  Scolded by a sentence, that man not only didn't get angry at all, but also showed an absurd smile with his teeth and mouth, as if he didn't dare to speak nonsense again.

  "If you four don't mind the squeeze, please come and sit down." Xia Yan said loudly to several people before the man could even ask.

  "Huh?"

  These people and the boss's wife were all stunned, they were not close to Xia Yan's position, logically speaking, in such a noisy environment with their voices just now, Xia Yan shouldn't have heard them at all, but...

  The first man reacted quickly and hurriedly clasped his fists in response: "Then thank you, little brother!"

  After finishing speaking, the man's eyes flashed and he carefully sized up Xia Yan again, his heart shaken.

  "Brother, we just spoke in such a low voice, how did he manage to hear it?" the lovely woman asked in surprise.
