The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 251: Winter Jade Empire Capital City

As Lei Xifeng left, Jian Shen decided to first check in the women inside the World Crest before he would go around the city and see how different it would be from those in the Mortal Realm.

Therefore, Jian Shen after making sure that no one followed him to the top of the palace disappeared into thin air as his body entered the World Crest.

...

"Huh... Is something wrong?"

Standing frozen due to being caught off guard, Jian Shen could only look at all the women that were standing in front of him with wide eyes.

Each and every one of them was looking as if they wanted to bite his head off.

"Dear, do you know your mistake?"

"Mistake?"

Tilting his head in confusion, Jian Shen honestly couldn't think of anything of that sort.

"Yes, a very big mistake husband."

"You too Niu'er?"

Looking between Wuying and Zheng Niu, Jian Shen quickly understood what it was that they were talking about.

He had promised to marry them after he came out of the Sword World. But, he ended up being caught in the moment and therefore ascended right away without even giving then the chance to say goodbye to their families.

"Ahh... I just suddenly remembered that there's something I need to do!"

Turning around quickly Jian Shen who could guess how messy the fight would become regardless of what he said chose to try and escape for now.

Unfortunately, before he could try and slip away the two women who call him darling hugged him from the sides and unexpectedly began weeping.

"Yu Yan, Xiulan, what is it?"

As someone who always felt bad and discomfort when women cried, Jian Shen just couldn't pull himself away and escape.

Especially when it was possible that he did something to cause this as well.

"I'm sorry you two. I really was going to hold a wedding, it was just... "

Interrupting Jian Shen by hugging him harder while even crying louder, the two women who further surprised him were joined by the remaining women inside the World Crest.

"We thought you were going to die!"

Ahhh...

Realization struck Jian Shen as he looked at all the women that were hugging him and crying non-stop.

They weren't angry because he took them with him without giving them the chance to make the decision, they were angry because he almost died when baring the heavenly tribulations.

"I... "

Stopping himself from speaking when the only woman in the distance shook her head and mouthed, 'don't say anything', Jian Shen gave a grateful nod to Meilin who winked towards him and left.

Standing in the same place for quite some time, Jian Shen waited until all of them had calmed down and then asked, "Now that we're in the Divine Realm, who wants to go sightseeing?"

The harmonious atmosphere instantly disappeared as if it was shattered with a hammer.

"Humph! Do you think I'll forget about you going back on your promise after touring a city? Forget about it!"

"Taking me with you to the Divine Realm without my permission, you've sure grown cheeky brat!"

"Sorry darling, if I go with you the others will think I betrayed them."

"Go sightseeing by yourself!"

Like that, Jian Shen who once again felt that he really couldn't understand women was left all alone as the two swords took the opportunity to materialize.

Hugging each of his arms, the two of them kissed him on his cheek as their heads chose to rest on his shoulders.

"You two aren't angry?"

Shaking their heads in union, Qingyu said, "They aren't angry either, they're just concerned about you."

"Really? That's a weird way to show concern."

Chuckling and shaking his head, Jian Shen chose to not think too much and left the World Crest to go around the city.

...

Leaving the palace, Jian Shen who learnt from the guards that flying inside the borders of the city was not permitted to anyone regardless of their status unless during special situations, was walking on the perfectly paved roads.

Seems like only the Empress herself could fly around during normal times.

Tapping his foot against the road, Jian Shen quickly guessed how tough it was.

It was almost as if these roads had been made with the intention for strong cultivators to fight and not worry about damaging the road.

As for the buildings around him, just like the cities in Mortal Realm there was an obvious distinction in their appearance the farther he went from the palace.

Looks like a difference in status exists regardless of which Realm they were in.

Passing by the various buildings, Jian Shen even encountered quite a lot of people in the way. And this wasn't even limited to just humans, there were many beast-men that looked like they were created in the same way that the Taiyang Empire had made its special soldiers and the animal Sword Spirits.

But, there was something different about these beast-men whom Jian Shen passed.

Their existence just seemed more complete.

This made sense because they weren't artificially created beast men and rather actual beasts whose strength and bloodline reached a level which allowed them to take a humanoid form.

'How come some of them have more of their animal features while the others have less?'

"It's quite simple husband, those that are more strong are more adept and capable at hiding their beast features and look like a human. In fact, it is even possible for a beast to look exactly like a human without even retaining a single beastly feature."
