Monarch of Time

Warning: At the end of the chapter, there may (or may not) be some R.-.1.8 scenes.

As soon as the people on the street noticed who the middle-aged man was, fervent discussions filled the crowd

''That's alchemist Zhou, isn't it?''

''Yes, that's surely Zhou Ning from the 'Blood pill pavilion'!''

''Why is he entering that new shop then?''

''Maybe he heard of the arrogant name of the shop and came here on purpose?''

As the crowd speculated the reason why Zhou Ning had come to Shun Long's shop, Shun Long opened his eyes and saw the newcomer that had just arrived.

It was a middle-aged man with short black hair, brown eyes and a square jaw.

Zhou Ning didn't make an attempt to mask his aura, immediately exposing that he was a peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator.

''Eh?''

A surprised exclamation escaped the middle-aged man's mouth when he saw the 4 skeletons that were standing behind the shop's counters.

At the same time, the young man and the veiled woman who were sitting inside the shop, didn't even stand up to welcome him.

Zhou Ning had an angry look on his face as he stared at the 2 people who seemed to be sitting leisurely, completely unaware of his arrival.

Shun Long however had completely retracted his aura, looking like a completely ordinary mortal.

No matter how much he tried, the peak rank 9 Spirit realm expert was unable to sense the slightest qi fluctuation coming from Shun Long's body.

And yet, Zhou Ning would never believe that Shun Long was a mortal.

After all, mortals were practically nonexistent in the 'City of Sin', while the way that this young man was seated, oozed with confidence about himself.

The angry look somewhat softened on Zhou Ning's face, but an expression of dissatisfaction was still there as he looked at Shun Long, and asked in an authoritative tone

''Are you the person who claims to be a Divine alchemist?''

Shun Long opened his eyes, and as he stared at the middle-aged man, he nodded his head expressionlessly as he said

''I am, but what does it have to do with you?''

The crowd who was watching from the shop's entrance gasped when they heard Shun Long's answer.

Wasn't he purposely trying to find trouble with the 'Blood pill pavilion'?

After all, who in the northern part of the city didn't know, that the territory of the Silver cross street belonged to the 'Blood pill pavilion'?''

Indeed, when he heard Shun Long's answer Zhou Ning laughed loudly as he said

''HAHAHA! To dare call yourself a Divine alchemist within our pavilion's territory is like asking for death.

This is a territory which our pavilion strictly controls. No other pill shop is allowed to open without our permission!

Unless you are planning to offend our 'Blood pill pavilion', you better close down your shop before it's too late!''

Without waiting for Shun Long's response, Zhou Ning cast out his threat before he turned to leave.

Although he had wanted to raze this shop to the ground by himself, the fact that he was unable to sense Shun Long's aura made him a little apprehensive.

He was planning to return to the 'Blood Pill pavilion' first, before he spoke with the other high echelons of the pavilion and choose their course of action, when suddenly, his gaze was focused on the glass cases where the rank 4 pills were placed for sale.

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly widened when he saw the top-grade 'Sun-healing pills'.

Although he couldn't smell the pills directly, or cut off a small part to verify their effects, he could see through the case that the pills' shapes and colors were absolutely perfect.

''Unless the person who created these pills had simply tried to replicate the color and shape, it is very likely that these are really top-grade rank 4 healing pills.

However, I still have to smell and test them to be certain!''

Just as these thoughts flashed through Zhou Ning's mind, Shun Long finally stood up from his chair, and looking at the middle-aged man who was staring at his pills he said

'''Blood Pill pavilion'? I have never heard of you.

Be sensible and don't interrupt my business, otherwise I don't mind flattening your pavilion completely!''

When Shun Long finished his words, it wasn't just Zhou Ning, but even the crowd outside the shop s.u.c.k.e.d in a breath of cold air.

Did this guy really just pin himself against the 'Blood Pill pavilion'?

Sigh

''He could simply apologize and close down his shop, and the 'Blood Pill pavilion' was very likely to not chase this issue any further!''

As the voice of a spectator sounded from the entrance, Zhou Ning who was still staring at the pills in the glass case had his eyes turn red from anger after hearing Shun Long's words.

He was planning to inspect the pills a little longer, but after hearing Shun Long's answer, his gaze turned venomous, before he nodded his head and said

''Very well! I will inform our pavilion of your choice! Let's hope that you won't come to regret your words in the future.''

Some of the people from the crowd shook their heads in pity, while others rejoiced in Shun Long's misfortune.

The 'Blood Pill pavilion' wasn't some kind of charitable organization. They had been one of the 3 strongest pill shops in the northern part of the 'City of Sin', precisely because they weed out the opposition before they m.a.t.u.r.e. They would never allow a new shop to take part of their profits in their own territory!

Seeing Zhou Ning angrily storming out of the shop, the crowd opened a wide path for him to pass through, before they slowly dispersed as well.

A few curious people still entered inside the shop, but the moment that they saw the prices of the pills, they mocked the boss for being crazy before they hurriedly left as well.

Shun Long didn't seem to mind their reactions, and as night fell he started to close the shop for the day.

Although they didn't have any real customers today, Shun Long was certain that the name of his shop would start to spread very quickly.

Once he and Liu Mei arrived on the second floor, Shun Long noticed, that Liu Mei had already furnished the second floor with a bed, a large wooden table, 2 chairs and a couple of meditative cushions that she had purchased from the Heaven's Dome city before they left.

With a smile on his face, Shun Long held Liu Mei from behind, and placing his arms around her waist, he brought his mouth next to her ear as he said in a suggestive voice

''Mei'er, let me help you remove your clothes and allow you to relax.''

Sensing Shun Long's hot breath in her ear, Liu Mei could feel her face heating up, while Shun Long's hands were now roaming all over her body.

Shun Long slowly removed her white robes, revealing her perfectly shaped body.

Liu Mei could feel a bulge hitting her b.u.t.t coming from Shun Long's robes, while Shun Long's fingers had already started to touch and lightly pinch her pink n.i.p.p.l.es.

Soft m.o.a.ns escaped Liu Mei's mouth as Shun Long's right hand slowly moved downwards, while his left hand continued to play with Liu Mei's b.o.o.b.s.

Once he placed his right hand between Liu Mei's legs, Shun Long could feel a wetness filling his fingers.

And yet, his actions didn't stop, as he pushed his fingers inside.

Liu Mei's m.o.a.n.e.d once before she turned around and helped Shun Long unrobe himself.

Without any hesitation, his already erect dragon entered inside Liu Mei, filling the rooms with m.o.a.ns of p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e and excitement.

Shun Long's hands hadn't left Liu Mei's b.r.e.a.s.ts during this time as he continued to touch and pinch her n.i.p.p.l.es, and every time that the 2 of them engaged in their 'dual cultivation', they seemed to become even closer to each other.

2 hours passed when the m.o.a.ns of p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e and ecstasy finally stopped.

Although Shun Long was a body refiner as well, Liu Mei's body couldn't handle any longer than this, and in the end, she had almost fallen unconscious.

There was still a gentle smile on her face however as she looked at Shun Long, while a warm feeling had filled her heart.

Shun Long's right hand gently brushed Liu Mei's left cheek as he lied next to her on the bed, and an hour later, once Liu Mei circulated the 'Moonlight Sigil' and started cultivating, Shun Long entered back inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time'.

Looking at Little Black whose gigantic 10m(33ft) long body was coiled around himself, Shun Long's eyes lit up, looking like he had just remembered something, before he asked with a serious look in his eyes

''Little Black, is there any cultivation technique you have, that's suitable for Mei'er?''
