Chapter 526: Inside Golden Feather City
Inside Golden Feather City, the lights were ablaze. Even though it was night, it was as bustling and extraordinary as daytime.
As soon as the two little girls, Chen Qianqian and Bai Qian, entered the city, they began to look around in all directions.
Chu Feng said to Kong Yi, who was leading the way in front, "What place is the liveliest in this city?"
"Of course it is Vermilion Bird Street. There is a Group of Heroes Platform there. Every day, cultivators will exchange blows on it to display their strength. If they can be fancied by a young maiden of Peacock descendant lineage, they can stay and marry a wife and have children in Cloud Vine Island."
When Kong Yi spoke of this, a look of fascination emerged in his eyes.
"Oh?" Hearing these words, Chu Feng instantly became interested. "I did not expect your Cloud Vine Island to have such a custom?"
Kong Yi smiled and said, "To tell the truth to Senior, in the Peacock Race and its descendants on my Cloud Vine Island, there are more females than males. This custom exists to allow the bloodline of the Peacock Race to continue."
"So that is how it is." Chu Feng said, "Since we are all here, let's go to that Group of Heroes Platform to take a look at what interesting contests there are today."
"Yes."
For Kong Yi to be arranged to receive a group of big shots, his judgment was not something ordinary cultivators could compare to.
Through the interaction during this period, he was already able to determine that this Senior Chu before him was the leader among this group of people.
Even that Great Sage of the Golden Winged Race had to respect him seventy percent. He just did not know exactly what force he was born into.
He did not ask, nor did he dare to ask too much. After all, he was only a collateral disciple of the Peacock Race.
The group walked in the city for an hour and finally arrived at a street boiling with human voices.
Along the way, Chu Feng also stopped from time to time to take the two little girls, Chen Qianqian and Bai Qian, to buy some delicious local specialties and some rare little gadgets.
"Senior, if we walk another few hundred steps, we can arrive at that Group of Heroes Platform. I wonder what kind of interesting things will happen today."
As Kong Yi spoke, an excited expression also emerged on his face.
Chu Feng teased approachably, "I did not expect you kid to also be one who loves to watch the fun and excitement."
"Hehe." Kong Yi laughed, "My talent is average, and I do not have anything to do on ordinary days, so I just like to watch the excitement or something."
As the two spoke, they walked toward the destination. Before they even walked to the Group of Heroes Platform, Chu Feng heard a voice carrying a few points of majesty.
"Fellow Daoists coming from the four seas and eight directions, for the next three days, the Group of Heroes Platform will be temporarily requisitioned by the City Lord's Mansion. The Group of Heroes exchange is suspended for three days."
As soon as these words came out, it instantly attracted the dissatisfaction of many passersby.
"What are you Golden Feather City doing? Did you not say that this Group of Heroes Platform is left for us to use?"
"Exactly, I still want to properly display my strength in front of my future partner!"
"..."
Hearing this voice, Chu Feng and his party immediately approached the direction of the Group of Heroes Platform. It was already surrounded by people three layers inside and three layers outside.
However, with the Golden Winged Great Sage present, they silently passed through the dense crowd and arrived below the arena.
"Silence."
On the arena, a man clad in golden armor with a golden feather stuck on his forehead suddenly raised the volume of his voice by a degree, and the pressure on his body radiated out accordingly.
"Nirvana Realm expert!"
It was unknown who shouted from within the crowd, but the originally noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
They were just here to display their strength and charm, not to cause trouble for Cloud Vine Island.
Moreover, it would be as simple as crushing an ant for a Nirvana Realm expert to crush them to death.
Seeing everyone quiet down, the golden-armored man immediately spoke: "Everyone, you must all know that in seven days, it will be the day my Cloud Vine Island's Little Princess recruits a husband. Before she recruits a husband, she wants to see the strength of the heroes of the world."
"Therefore, she has sent her personal head maid to oversee matters here. Any hero from any faction who wishes to participate in the Little Princess's martial arts contest for a husband may make an appearance in advance to display their extraordinary qualities before the Little Princess."
As soon as these words came out, a burst of exclamations instantly erupted on Vermilion Bird Street.
"I have long heard that the Little Princess of Cloud Vine Island is quirky and eccentric. Seeing this today, she truly lives up to her reputation."
"I heard that this martial arts contest to recruit a husband was thought up by that Little Princess herself."
"No wonder Cloud Vine Island is holding this martial arts contest to recruit a husband in such a rush."
"..."
Hearing these words, Chu Feng looked at the Golden Winged Great Sage with a beaming smile.
"Ah Diao, it seems your intended is an interesting woman."
The Golden Winged Great Sage said, "Brother, stop teasing me. I have not even met her, so she may not necessarily be my intended. I came this time mostly just to see the world."
"En, I believe you."
Chu Feng spoke with a face full of sincerity.
However, in the Golden Winged Great Sage's view, these words felt strange, yet he could not say exactly where the strangeness lay.
Kong Yi scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. He wanted to say something, but he did not know what he should say.
Just then, the golden-armored man on the arena spoke respectfully: "Next, let us invite Miss Bai to ascend the stage."
Before his voice had faded, the sound of a flute could be heard coming from the sky. Everyone, including Chu Feng, subconsciously looked in the direction from which the flute sound came.
They saw a white figure descending from the sky; before the person arrived, a rain of flowers fell first.
Such a display instantly quieted the surroundings of the originally noisy arena, attracting everyone's gazes to her.
That was a woman with a slender and graceful figure. Although she wore a veil on her face that prevented people from seeing her appearance clearly, her pair of lively eyes swept casually below the arena, causing the hearts of countless people present to beat faster.
Even someone like Chu Feng, who had seen countless women, could not help but take a second look.
"This woman actually gives one the feeling of a first love. Moreover, that air of nobility about her does not resemble a maid at all."
Hearing these words, Kong Yi hurriedly explained, "To tell the truth to Senior, those who can become Princess Miaoyu's maids are all from collateral branches of famous families. They have received good training since childhood and are not inferior to those noble ladies in the slightest."
"Is that so?"
The corners of Chu Feng's mouth rose slightly: "Your Golden Feather Island is truly different from the masses."
Seeing the entire venue in silence, the white-clad woman spoke slowly: "Heroes, this young lady represents Princess Miaoyu to assess the heroes of the world. If I accidentally injure you during the fight, please forgive me."
Her voice was as crisp as a lark. This voice, this figure, added to those eyes, made people involuntarily give birth to an impulse to lift her veil.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Miss Bai, may I ask how victory and defeat are judged in this assessment? Is it like before where victory is decided once one side is knocked off the arena, or are there other rules?"
"Naturally, it will follow the previous rules of the Group of Heroes Platform."
The white-clad woman paused for a moment and continued to ask, "Everyone, do you have any other questions?"
Responding to the white-clad woman was a burst of silence. She spoke again: "Since everyone has no questions, then let me witness your extraordinary qualities."
