Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

[Hosts may wish to try walking around more. If you encounter uncivilized behavior, the system will automatically detect it and issue corresponding tasks for you to choose from.]

The system's cold voice sounded, reminding Lu Yuguan who was still in a bad mood.

"Okay!" Lu Yuguan excitedly turned over again and went downstairs to put on his shoes. "You said it, if you don't give me more civilization points, I will... I will..."

[You just what?] The system asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I will never talk to you again, wuwuwuwuwu..."

system:……

It was still early for bedtime, so Lu Yuguan dragged Daiyu and Qingwen out for sightseeing.

The night scene in Kyoto is very lively. It happened to coincide with the recent Flower Street Parade. The summer lotus flowers and lotus pods outside the city were picked by the flower girls and decorated in front of the shops or on the carriages. It was very beautiful.

Lu Yuguan, Daiyu and Qingwen shuttled among the crowd, feeling the prosperity of Kyoto at night.

The hawking sounds of vendors on both sides of the street can be heard one after another, and the aroma of various snacks fills the air, making people salivate.

They first stopped at a stall selling candied haws. Lu Yuguan bought three strings of crystal clear candied haws and handed the two round and plump ones to Daiyu and Qingwen.

"Try this," Lu Yuguan said happily, "I used to love eating this, but I haven't eaten it in all the time I've been in Kyoto."

Daiyu took the candied haws and took a bite. The sour and sweet taste of the fruit spread in her mouth.

"It's delicious, thank you, Third Young Master!" Qingwen said while chewing hawthorn.

"Young Master, did you say Young Madam before?" Daiyu asked curiously.

Lu Yuguan was speechless for a moment, stunned for a moment and said: "Maybe."

After hearing Daiyu's grumbling, Lu Yuguan couldn't help feeling sad again.

In the past, when the school was on weekends, he and Jin Xiaoxiao would go shopping and bring back snacks for Jiang Cong, a boarding student.

Lu Yuguan shook his head. After all this time in this world, this was the first time he missed his old life so much. Thinking of this, the candied haws in his hand didn't taste as sweet anymore.

The three continued to move forward, passing through the bustling crowd and arrived at the main venue of the Flower Street Parade.

The main venue was set on the canal that runs through Kyoto. Countless cruise ships drifted slowly on the canal. Looking east and west, the cruise ships looked like fireflies, brightly lit, and the entire team was endless.

Several people were deeply attracted by the magnificent scene and stopped to watch.

The flower girls on the cruise ship are dressed in colorful clothes and singing and dancing. When they arrive at places where there are many tourists, they will move to the shore and show everyone various flower arts and handicrafts.

"How beautiful!" Qingwen pointed to a basket filled with colorful paper flowers in the hands of a florist in front of her. "Those paper flowers are so exquisitely made. Let's go over and take a look."

Lu Yuguan nodded in agreement, and the three of them squeezed through the crowd and came to Hua Niang.

Seeing their interest, the flower lady enthusiastically introduced her creations: "Young masters and young ladies, please buy a few of these flowers to take home. They are sprayed with nectar water that I just mixed this afternoon, so the fragrance will last for a long time."

Lu Yuguan, Daiyu and Qingwen listened with great interest and each picked some paper flowers and put them in their pockets.

As the night deepens, the atmosphere of the Flower Street Parade becomes more lively.

I don't know how long I wandered around aimlessly, but suddenly there was a burst of exclamations from the crowd in the east, and the originally noisy street seemed to boil all of a sudden.

"Miss Qingluo! Miss Qingluo is here!"

"That's... Miss Zixuan? Is Miss Zixuan here too?"

"Oh my god, are all the Seven Fairies out this time? I haven't seen such a big scene in years!"

Lu Yuguan was almost suffocated by the crowd, like a crucian carp trapped in a fishing net, swaying from side to side and floating unsteadily.

Daiyu and Qingwen were pushed around by the crowd, and for a while they were separated from Lu Yuguan on both sides of the crowd.

"Third Young Master, Third Young Master--" Qingwen shouted in fear and waved frantically towards Lu Yuguan.

"I'm here!" Lu Yuguan struggled to stand on tiptoe, trying to reach out so that Daiyu and Qingwen could see him. But the crowd was getting more and more crowded, and more tourists were pouring in.

Lu Yuguan was being pushed and jostled until he could hardly breathe, and he almost felt like he was being drowned in the crowd. At this moment, his raised hand was suddenly embraced by another warm hand.

"Sir, do you need help?"

Lu Yuguan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, handsome man looking at him with a smile.

The man was wearing a dark-colored robe and his long curly hair was tied behind his head. He looked particularly capable, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, revealing a strong masculine aura. Even in a crowd, he was particularly conspicuous.

"Thank you, sir." Lu Yuguan's face turned red due to being pushed, but he still responded to the man with gratitude.

"It's too crowded and noisy here. Let's go to a place with fewer people first." The man said gently, gently took Lu Yuguan's hand and led him through the crowded crowd.

The two men came to the back of the crowd. The man let go of his hand and asked with concern, "Is the young master feeling better?"

Lu Yuguan took a deep breath, feeling the pressure in his chest gradually dissipate, and nodded: "Much better, thank you for your help, sir."

"It's just a small favor, nothing to worry about," the man smiled and continued, "My surname is Zhao, and my name is Zimo. May I know what your name is, sir?"

"My name is Lu Yuguan, nice to meet you, Mr. Zhao." Lu Yuguan bowed and saluted.

"Mr. Lu, you don't seem to be a local?" Zhao Zimo asked curiously.

Lu Yuguan scratched his head awkwardly and said, "It's... half, right?"

Zhao Zimo immediately laughed and said, "No wonder Master Lu was so flustered. This annual Flower Street Parade is at its peak, and if you're not careful, you'll be swept away by the crowd. This year, the seven fairies are even on board, making the crowd even more crowded. You must have been really startled, Master."

Lu Yuguan blushed with embarrassment. He didn't expect to be so embarrassed and was even pulled out by a stranger.

"Yes... yes, I have two other girls traveling with me, they are still inside!" Lu Yuguan realized it belatedly and said anxiously.

"Mr. Lu, don't worry. I saw them walking towards the outside of the crowd before I left." Zhao Zimo comforted.

Lu Yuguan let out a long sigh and felt much more relieved.

Zhao Zimo looked at the man in front of him who was half a head shorter than him. He was wearing a clean light blue casual suit, his long hair was lightly tied up with a jade hairpin, he had a thin figure, a slender waist that could be held in one hand, a handsome face, and rosy cheeks. He looked particularly charming under the lights on both sides of the street.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, you have been a great help." Lu Yuguan hurriedly thanked the man next to him again.

"You're welcome. I'll take you to find the two girls who came with you. I hope they are still waiting for you." The man's voice was low and magnetic. As he spoke, he gently held Lu Yuguan's shoulders and guided him in the direction he had looked before.

Fortunately, Lu Yuguan and others were not separated for long. Soon they saw Daiyu and Qingwen at the door of a rouge shop.

"Third Young Master, we are here!" Qingwen shouted excitedly as soon as she met Lu Yuguan's gaze.

Lu Yuguan hurried forward, held their hands, and said, "Are you okay? Did you fall down because of the crowd?"

After hearing this, Daiyu felt a warm feeling in her heart. Her young master was so approachable and amiable. If she were to serve other masters and mistresses, she would probably be scolded every day.

"Third Young Master, we're fine," Daiyu said, looking at the tall and strong man beside Lu Yuguan and asked, "Who is this young master..."

"Oh, this is Mr. Zhao Zimo. He was the one who pulled me out of the crowd just now." Lu Yuguan introduced them to Daiyu and Qingwen.

Zhao Zimo smiled at the two of them and said, "There are many tourists tonight. If you don't mind, would you mind letting me accompany you?"

Qingwen's face turned red. As a little girl, she had never seen such a handsome man. Although her young master was indeed very handsome, he was not the type of person she would be obsessed with.

"That's great. This way, Mr. Zhao, I will pay for all your expenses tonight!" Lu Yuguan said happily.

Daiyu and Qingwen did not think there was anything wrong with it. After all, the other party had just helped their young master, and it was only right for them to repay the favor.

What's more, Bai Zheng is the current Minister of Personnel of Longhua State. Although he is not a wealthy man, it is more than enough to provide food and clothing for his whole family.

Zhao Zimo smiled faintly and said, "In that case, Zhao will not be polite."

Lu Yuguan naturally held Zhao Zimo's hand and led him towards the river.

"Then let's go quickly. There were so many people and it was so lively just now that I was squeezed and numbed before I could even see clearly. I feel sorry for myself." Lu Yuguan muttered to himself, looking aggrieved.

Zhao Zimo held the delicate and slender hand, and felt that it was much smaller than his own. It seemed that he could crush it with just a little force, so he had to treat it well.

The four of them found a place with few people, squeezed in, and looked at the cruise ship approaching from the other end of the canal.

Lu Yuguan looked at Zhao Zimo and asked, "What are the Seven Fairies you just mentioned?"

"I almost forgot, Master Lu doesn't know about this," Zhao Zimo replied, looking down at the curious Lu Yuguan. "This Flower Street Parade is an event held by all the brothels in Kyoto. The largest of them is the Thousand Flower House, and the most famous troupe at the Thousand Flower House is the renowned Seven Fairies."

"Everyone calls these seven girls fairies who have descended to earth. Each of them possesses a unique martial arts skill. Any one of them alone is capable of surpassing other brothels."

"These girls never show up on weekdays, and usually only appear on important occasions. In previous years, there were only one or two girls in the flower street parades. I don't know why there is such a big scene this year."

Zhao Zimo's explanation was very logical, and Lu Yuguan finally understood it. However, he was still curious about the beauty of these girls who were praised to the sky.

"To be honest, Master Lu, I came to Beijing this time just to catch a glimpse of the seven fairies. If there is a chance, I hope to go on a cruise and chat with all of you fairies." Zhao Zimo was honest and stated the purpose of his trip.

Lu Yuguan raised his eyebrows and looked at the handsome Zhao Zimo in front of him with a little more suspicion.

Such a handsome man, does he still lack suitors?

However, he couldn't ask too much about other people's affairs, so he could only respond, "Then I wish Mr. Zhao all his wishes come true."

Lu Yuguan smiled, and the moonlight reflected from the river swirled in his eye sockets, which was very beautiful, causing Zhao Zimo to be stunned for a moment.

"Ahem...it's almost time, the cruise ship will be here soon!"

Zhao Zimo said hurriedly, turning his head to look at the river in the distance, with some other subtle feelings in his heart.
