Chapter 111: 111 Si Tu Jin – 6K Subscription Plea, Part Two (Later)

"Which..." Yao Qing was about to ask which stinky woman, but her mind instantly recalled the woman from the Si Tu family and that face.

"Is that Si Tu Jin?"

"Hmm." Wang Wu walked to the motorbike—no, it should be called a motor airship now.

He sat in the pilot seat, pulled the control lever, and lowered a screen.

He pressed the blue button above, then the red button, then randomly tapped a few more times, and soon the screen displayed several large characters:

"Scanning, please wait..."

The buttons were of course pressed haphazardly; the device was designed for children, so even random presses still let the user appear professional while activating the desired function.

After upgrading, Wang Wu barely read the manual; he only knew which functional modules he had added.

The function he was using now was, via the motorbike's—unsure if it was sonar—but some kind of wave emitted outward to scan the surrounding terrain map.

It can scan a radius of three hundred kilometers at a time, a diameter of six hundred kilometers, with extremely high imaging precision, and can locate many moving targets in real time.

In simple terms, a single scan instantly yields a full detailed 3D model, making the opposite side have nowhere to hide.

"Sit?" Turning his head, he saw Yao Qing still standing behind him, and Wang Wu patted the seat.

"We're now sworn siblings, why be so formal?"

"Uhm, okay." Yao Qing came to Wang Wu's side and sat down.

Wang Wu turned his head, glanced at the Yao Qing just a breath away, then looked at another chair nearby; he had wanted to say something, but since she was already his sworn sister, he kept silent.

"What's wrong, sw— sworn brother?" Noticing Wang Wu's gaze, Yao Qing asked.

"Nothing, not crowded, right?" Wang Wu shifted aside to take up less space.

"Not crowded, sworn brother."

Wang Wu said nothing, continuing to stare at the screen, waiting for the scan to finish.

The impressive thing about this device is that it not only scans terrain, but also renders scanned people in clear images.

And that's exactly the function Wang Wu needs right now.

Recalling Si Tu Jin's appearance in his mind, the remembered face would naturally differ somewhat from reality.

After all, Wang Wu hasn't yet reached the "brain restructuring" stage; his brain's performance has only had some attributes enhanced, not a complete transformation.

Yao Qing beside him was also watching the screen, but for some reason her gaze kept drifting to Wang Wu.

The words from yesterday's oath still echoed in her mind, leaving her a bit numb even now.

And when she just recovered her memory, that scene replayed in her mind again.

Wang Wu didn't bother to consider the chaotic thoughts of his sworn sister sitting on the same chair, nor did he notice her steady stare.

All his attention was now on the screen before him, watching the progress bar inch toward full:

【95%, 98%, 99.54%】

【Scan complete】

When the green text appeared on the screen, Wang Wu began the search.

【Searching target, please wait】

【Searching...】

【Expanding search range】

【Searching...】

【Expanding search range...】

Watching the constantly flashing text on the screen, Wang Wu felt a bit nervous.

【5 similar targets found, please view】

In no time, holographic models of five women appeared before Wang Wu; though uncolored, he could instantly recognize the woman's face.

After all, the woman was truly beautiful and had a unique aura; even among a crowd of beauties, you could spot her at a glance.

At this moment, the holographic Si Tu Jin seemed to be chatting with someone.

Wang Wu wasn't sure if it was really her, but among the five holograms, she was the closest match.

He locked onto her, then pinpointed her; Wang Wu checked the distance shown on the map—it wasn't far at all.

One hundred seventy‑five kilometers.

"Ha ha, found her."

Seeing the map's marker, Wang Wu laughed, then turned his head toward his sworn sister, nearly colliding with the dazed Yao Qing.

But Yao Qing, being an extraordinary being, reacted quickly; before Wang Wu could turn, she had already shifted her head.

"Found it? Sworn brother?"

"Hmm." Wang Wu pulled the control lever again, and the flying Old Man Happy motorboat surged forward, quickly reaching two thousand kilometers per hour, roaring into the distance.

The design philosophy of this device mirrors Wang Wu's hometown's Old Man Happy three-wheeler: a three‑wheel motor encased in a shell.

Only this one is a bit more upscale, and can be legally driven and registered.

Of course, the prerequisite is having a driver's license.

Since he had to pilot the airship, Wang Wu's hands naturally kept pulling the control lever; whether he pulled or not made no difference, but to appear more professional he kept pulling.

Because this seat wasn't designed for two people, Wang Wu's hand or body would occasionally brush against Yao Qing's.

"If it feels cramped, there's another seat beside you."

After piloting for a while, Wang Wu said.

"It's fine, sworn brother, I..." Every time Wang Wu's elbow or something brushed her, Yao Qing's heart raced; she intended to say she didn't feel cramped, but the next moment she realized:

"Huh? There's another seat?"

"Yes." Wang Wu turned his head to glance at his little sister, "I told you from the start there's a seat beside you, you can sit there."

"But if you want to sit with me, that's fine too, I have no objection."

Before the story was finished, Yao Qing sat down and left; she now felt her face scorching hot.

Soon after, Wang Wu piloted his airship to the destination.

Below the airship lay a massive city, so huge that it even surprised Wang Wu.

Grabbing the exploration radar, they jumped from several hundred meters up onto a motorboat, and Wang Wu and Yao Qing headed straight toward the distant city.

Soon, he arrived at the city gate; the towering wall stood a full eighty meters high, exuding an immensely powerful, majestic aura, clearly something extraordinary.

A group of soldiers guarded the massive gate; Wang Wu immediately radiated his inner aura. He had no intention of speaking, just seeing if he could barge straight in.

"Immortal Chief."

Unimpeded, the gate soldiers even respectfully called him 'Immortal Chief,' and the two quickly passed through the gate.

On the way here, Wang Wu let Yao Qing descend to another human village for a test. He discovered that after regaining her memory, Yao Qing could still understand the locals' language, and they could understand her as well.

Looking at the radar's coordinates, he saw he was still over eighty kilometers from Si Tu Jin's location.

The city was truly colossal; the eighty‑meter‑high wall enclosed an area of a full six hundred square kilometers.

Moreover, within this city, Wang Wu finally saw the things he had also seen in Da Zhou's cities.

One character: clean; two characters: extremely clean.

There were clearly water pipes and a sewage system. The main streets were clean and tidy, with no odor, let alone sewage flowing openly.

One must know that in the ancient society of Wang Wu's hometown, whether east or west, once a city's population grew, its smell could hardly be pleasant.

One should also know that 'feces overlord' still existed in Wang Wu's hometown in the early twentieth century, even though the Qing dynasty had already fallen.

The so‑called feces overlord is the ruler who controls all waste collection and processing in a city, also called a feces magnate.

More inhabitants mean more waste, and in ancient times, waste was actually valuable.

Ancient cities could hardly be that clean; after all, limited productivity meant the city's smell was far from pleasant.

Every day massive numbers of people and animals—donkeys, horses, mules, and the like—came and went, and they left waste along the way.

But here it was different; this was a fantastical society. In a great city populated by countless super‑normals and high officials, they might not care about the lower‑level environment, but they certainly cared about their own.

Super‑normal power can naturally be turned into productivity, and in construction it may even surpass a technological society.

Wang Wu and Yao Qing's appearances attracted many gazes in this city, yet they did not linger, moving through at incredible speed.

Still, this bizarre world was just like the fantasy novels Wang Wu had read before: take this woman out, and trouble will follow in no time.

Yao Qing was extremely beautiful, not far behind Wang Wu's own monstrous allure.

"Girl!!"

As the two sped through the city, two figures blocked Wang Wu and Yao Qing's path.

Wang Wu leapt over directly, but Yao Qing was stopped by the people.

Consequently, she had to halt and look at the man before her.

"I am Lyu Kai of Yun Cheng, may I know the lady's name…"

Yao Qing didn't even glance at the man, intending to pass straight through.

But as she tried to slip aside, a cultivator standing beside Lyu Kai stepped in front of her.

Facing this, Yao Qing narrowed her eyes, and the long sword at her back silently unsheathed.

"Don't block the way."

She said coldly.

That cultivator was not weak; he had already surpassed the True Realm, comparable to the Break‑Delusion realm in Da Zhou.

The gentleman's strength was also impressive, corresponding to the late stage of the True Realm.

"I only wish to get to know the lady," Lyu Kai said with a smile, his grin like spring flowers in March. He was also handsome, yet clearly far behind Wang Wu and even behind Yao Qing's junior disciple.

Clang——!!!!

The long sword at his waist turned into a cold beam, striking the man's abdomen; Yao Qing did not intend to kill, and after the slash she aimed to use the ensuing chaos to escape quickly.

But the next moment, Yao Qing's pupils snapped shut.

Because the link between her and her magic sword had been severed.

"What a beautiful sword… lady…" Lyu Kai grasped the hilt of Yao Qing's magic sword, his face showing intoxicated delight, "just as radiant as you…"

Bang—!!

At that instant, a gunshot rang out. Yao Qing didn't know what the sound was, but it didn't stop her from looking at Wang Wu, for the sound came from his hand.

Bang bang!!

Two more gunshots followed; the two cultivators who had just reacted were simultaneously hit, their eyes rolling white as they fell to the ground.

Wang Wu rushed over, grabbed Yao Qing's hand, and led her away at speed.

That gun was also mounted on the motorcycle, a supplemental item from the "Exploration Airship Form" modification project.

It was a shock gun, lacking any real capacity to harm, but upon impact it could cause a brief faint.

Its strength was modest; it was ineffective against a sixth‑rank master and had little effect on a late‑stage seventh‑rank, at most merely restraining the target briefly.

Yet against these few people, it was more than enough.

"Grab them!! Quickly!!!!"

As Lyu Kai and his two followers fell unconscious, the city's patrolling soldiers immediately noticed the situation.

A massive alarm blared across the block, and the cultivators responsible for security rushed toward Wang Wu and Yao Qing's direction.

The combat level here was clearly far higher than that of the Da Zhou dynasty; even now, Wang Wu sensed several auras of strength not inferior to Yao Qing's master charging this way.

However, he felt no panic. He glanced at the radar in his hand, pressed the button, and saw the light point for Si Tu Jin drawing very close.

The device resembled a radar from some comic searching for a yellow glass sphere; the specific comic need not be described further.

【Current target distance: 5.75 km】

【Current target distance: 4.72 km】

【Target current distance: 2.17 km】

"Bold rogue, where do you think you're going!??"

Wang Wu didn't even glance, raised his hand and fired a spear, and the opponent fell to the ground with a thud.

Even a great cultivator of the Void Cave realm would be taken down one by one by this shock spear.

But it didn't last long; after a moment, the opponent recovered from the stunned state, and immediately his anger surged skyward:

"Rogue!!!"

【Target current distance: 875 m】

At that moment, Wang Wu saw the distance displayed on the radar, froze for a second, then looked up:

A familiar voice sounded, along with that familiar face.

He immediately exhaled, stopped walking, and let go of Yao Qing's hand at that moment.

Wang Wu walked straight to the other side, hands on his hips, staring at the person.

"Who are you?"

Facing the man who appeared before him, Si Tu Jin was first stunned, then surveyed Wang Wu from head to toe and asked.

In an instant, Wang Wu's expression hardened.

As for Yao Qing behind him, the woman had already been drifting beyond the heavens ever since Wang Wu took her hand.

At this moment, several extremely forceful auras descended around Si Tu Jin and Wang Wu. Yet they did not approach; instead they each knelt on one knee:

"Prince."

In the brief instant, Wang Wu thought the woman was certainly playing a prank; she couldn't possibly have forgotten him after months of old friendship.

So he reached out to grab her, intending to instantly refine her, but as soon as he tried to seize Si Tu Jin, she deftly slipped away.

She was already in the late stage of the True Realm, not far from perfection, and her speed matched Wang Wu's.

"Audacious!!!!"

Just as Wang Wu's hand grasped empty air, the cultivators' voices rang out like huge bells across the space:

"What are you trying to do!!!? Quickly subdue this rogue, don't let him hurt the prince, hurry!! Hurry!!!"

"Damn it, really use!???"

Facing this situation, Wang Wu was at a loss and could only start wildly shaking people in his mind.

【Mountain Top Cave Monster: Master! Master Master!! Master!!!】

【Mountain Top Cave Monster: Master, save me!!!】

【You gave Bo Sheng Gui Bi Ni Ma Si Le a window that flickered】

"What are you doing?"

But at that moment, Si Tu Jin's voice rang out again.

【Mountain Top Cave Monster: It's fine now, Master, it's already resolved】

【Bo Sheng Gui Bi Ni Ma Si Le: Huh?】

【Bo Sheng Gui Bi Ni Ma Si Le: (sweat‑laugh emoji)(sweat‑laugh emoji)(sweat‑laugh emoji)】

Returning to reality, he found the woman in front of him smiling brightly, arms wrapped around herself.

Obviously, she was very happy.

Suddenly, a nameless fury flared from his heart, making veins bulge on Wang Wu's forehead. Seeing Wang Wu like that, Si Tu Jin burst out laughing:

"Ha ha, Brother Wang, don't mind it, don't mind it."

He forced the anger down, still silent, and directly grabbed the other's hand.

"Oh?"

Si Tu Jin lowered her head, looked at the hand she had grasped, a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, and asked, "Brother Wang, when did it start?"

Wang Wu glanced at her, said nothing, and silently infused Geng Metal qi into her body.

"However, I do indeed have a good feeling toward Brother Wang. But Brother Wang will probably be disappointed, because I have no such…"

Si Tu Jin's words were cut off, as at that moment countless memory fragments shattered the seal deep in her soul and surged outward wildly.

The cultivators surrounding them, seeing Si Tu Jin being pulled by Wang Wu without resistance and even flirting, naturally knew it was time to step back.

We must not disturb others' good business.

A moment later, Wang Wu released his grip, arms encircling, looking down at her from above.

After regaining her memory, Si Tu Jin opened her mouth to say something, but upon seeing the three men behind Wang Wu, she turned her head to look at the empty air behind.

"Those three," she said, pointing at the trio of young masters that had just chased them, "throw those three into the prison, charge them with harassment, and give a heavier sentence."

"Yes, Young Master."

After two replies, the air rippled, and two cultivators clad in fire‑patterned brocade robes appeared, moving to stand before the three.

"Sir, we, we, we...!!!"

After giving the order, Si Tu Jin looked back at Wang Wu. Wang Wu still said nothing, but waved his hand, signaling her to follow.

Without hesitation, Si Tu Jin immediately followed behind him, while dismissing the guards beside her:

"You all return first. I have some matters with an old friend, it's inconvenient…"

"Yes."

A few more responses echoed in the surrounding air.

Soon, the three walked out of Cloud City onto the plains beyond the city.

"Now you all remember?" Until the city behind vanished completely beyond the horizon, Wang Wu finally spoke.

"Why were you silent before?" Si Tu Jin asked, curious.

"Because if I speak, the locals here would deem me a 'lost mind', and I'd die instantly," Wang Wu said:

"And I don't understand what they're saying either; I can only rely on Yao Qing to translate."

Si Tu Jin glanced at Yao Qing beside Wang Wu, then looked back at Wang Wu:

"So you came here specifically to rescue me?"

"\"What the hell are you babbling about? \" Wang Wu stared at the woman with a dazed look, swearing:

"\"I'm not here specifically looking for you—who am I looking for then? As soon as I entered the city I headed straight toward you; didn't you notice me? \""

"Thank you." After hearing Wang Wu's words, Si Tu Jin this time didn't show the irritating expression, but calmly bowed his hand toward him.

But after only two seconds, the corner of her mouth lifted again: "I really didn't make a bad investment; befriending Brother Wang is indeed a very wise choice."

"Idiot." Wang Wu glanced at the woman.

He obviously knew what she meant; simply: investment.

To her, making friends is a form of investment.

She believes Wang Wu is worth befriending, worth her pouring massive benefits into him, because it will surely yield returns.

And the earlier incident with Wu Lian clearly illustrated that.

"Given your temperament, I doubt it—oh right, you probably never even thought you'd look for a sincere friend."

"Haha…" Hearing Wang Wu's words, Si Tu Jin chuckled, offering no rebuttal.

"Tsk tsk tsk…" Wang Wu shook his head, "The world is bustling for profit; the world is crowded for profit. How dull…"

"Haha, Brother Wang always manages to say something amusing."

"But I didn't expect that, being here already, Brother Wang still has time…"

Saying that, she glanced at Yao Qing beside Wang Wu.

"This is my sworn sister; we've already performed the Yie Jin Lan ceremony," Wang Wu looked at Yao Qing: "But I certainly won't Yie Jin Lan with you; you're a woman so cunning, always trading benefits back and forth."

"Oh…" Si Tu Jin stared at Yao Qing for a while, her expression mysterious.

As for Wang Wu's assessment of her, she didn't care.

"Alright, get in the vehicle."

At that moment, a motorboat descending from the sky had already landed beside the three of them. Wang Wu stepped forward, opened the door and entered first, speaking to the two outside.

"What are Brother Wang's plans from here on?"

After boarding the motorboat, observing the interior's style completely different from Great Zhou's, Si Tu Jin, quite curious, examined it for a while and asked:

"Keep looking for people, what else can we do?"

"All of them?"

"No, the next is the master who taught my sworn sister." Wang Wu said while heading toward the cockpit: "As for the others, we can only keep looking; I can't guarantee we'll find them."

He pulled down the control lever, and in his mind began recalling Li Shangxuan's appearance; the modeling finished quickly, followed immediately by scanning.

【Scanning…】

【No target matching the criteria found; please proceed to the next area and continue scanning】
