456: Handsome guy, come upstairs and have a seat.

"The taste is quite good. From now on, your job will be this Princess's chef." Zhou Ruobing took a light sip of red wine and nodded in appreciation.

"Alright, chef it is!" Yang Lingchen smiled, not having any objections. Besides, as a chef, he could also eat good food.

After a barbecue meal, their relationship had grown much closer.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen carried Zhou Ruobing, made a large turn, and continued flying towards the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.

They sped along the highway, stopping to rest when they got tired.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a massive city appeared before Yang Lingchen's eyes. From a distance, it looked like a giant Dragon lying across the heavens and earth, inspiring awe. Endless city walls completely surrounded the entire city.

Yang Lingchen landed five kilometers away from the city.

Flying is forbidden in Great Zhou Imperial City. Top-tier defensive arrays are also set up around the city. If an ordinary flying boat dares to intrude, it will directly trigger the defensive array, and then it will be suppressed and killed on the spot by the top experts in the Imperial City.

Under Zhou Ruobing's lead, Yang Lingchen successfully entered Great Zhou Imperial City.

"Your Highness the Princess, please board the beast carriage." A team of armored guards bowed to Zhou Ruobing.

"Get in!" Zhou Ruobing glanced at Yang Lingchen, then boarded the luxurious beast carriage.

"This girl really is a Princess!" Yang Lingchen hesitated for a moment, then followed her in.

The beast carriage set off, smoothly heading towards the Princesss Mansion.

Looking at the scenery outside the beast carriage, Yang Lingchen was secretly shocked.

He originally thought that after breaking through to the Heavenly Net Realm, he would have a certain foothold in the Realm of the Gods, but after arriving at the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, he realized that his previous thoughts were as naive as a frog at the bottom of a well.

Yang Lingchen could tell that the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's strength far surpassed Wentian Palace. The cultivation level of that team of guards just now had already reached the Heavenly Net Realm Late Stage, and even some ordinary people on the street had cultivation levels reaching the Void Spirit Realm. From this, one could see how vast the strength gap between the two sides was.

"You really are a Princess!" Yang Lingchen said in surprise.

He had originally thought Zhou Ruobing was just a minor county princess from a royal branch, but he never expected her to actually be a Princess.

"What? This Princess doesn't look like a Princess?" Zhou Ruobing's beautiful eyes flickered, and a faint smile played on her lips.

"That's not what I meant. I've seen many princesses, but you are definitely the most beautiful. I even thought you were the Imperial Noble Consort of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty!" Yang Lingchen quickly flattered her.

Flattery works wonders, he understood this principle.

"How do you know that our Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's Imperial Noble Consort is very beautiful?" Zhou Ruobing asked.

"I guessed!"

Yang Lingchen smiled faintly and said, "Besides, how many men don't like beautiful women? What's more, the Emperor of your Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty would naturally have his Imperial Noble Consort carefully selected."

"Men are all no good." Zhou Ruobing snorted coldly.

"Then, when will you give me the one hundred thousand divine origin stones?" Yang Lingchen chuckled awkwardly.

These one hundred thousand divine origin stones were what he cared about most.

"Take it!"

Zhou Ruobing took out a storage ring and handed it to Yang Lingchen. As a Princess of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, she naturally wasn't lacking these one hundred thousand divine origin stones.

"Thank you."

Yang Lingchen took the storage ring, and his Divine Sense swept through it, confirming that there were indeed one hundred thousand divine origin stones inside.

About half a cup of tea later, the beast carriage arrived outside a beautiful, noble, and elegant mansion.

Yang Lingchen followed Zhou Ruobing out of the beast carriage.

"Welcome back, Your Highness the Princess."

Seeing Zhou Ruobing return, the two guards at the gate quickly bowed respectfully.

"This is this Princess's token and sound transmission jade. You will live in this courtyard from now on!"

Zhou Ruobing led Yang Lingchen to a quiet detached courtyard.

"What do I need to do?" Yang Lingchen asked.

"For now, you don't need to do anything. When I need you, I will naturally send you a Sound Transmission, so you'd best not go too far," Zhou Ruobing instructed.

"Alright then." Yang Lingchen nodded, then walked into the small courtyard.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

During these two months, he had been Cultivating in this detached courtyard, and Zhou Ruobing had never appeared again, as if she had forgotten him. However, his monthly remuneration was always delivered on time by the Princesss Mansion's butler.

At the same time, after these two months of Cultivation, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level had also risen to the Peak of the first layer of the Heavenly Net Realm, not far from breaking through to the second layer of the Heavenly Net Realm.

"It's time to go out for a stroll."

Yang Lingchen, who had been in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes. He let out a light breath of turbid Qi, then slowly stood up.

Leaving the Princesss Mansion, Yang Lingchen headed straight for the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce. He planned to buy some ingredients for Heavenly Net Pills. Now that his cultivation level had broken through to the Heavenly Net Realm, kōnglíng pills were no longer effective for him.

The Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce, one of the largest chambers of commerce in the Eastern Continent, has its headquarters in the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty Imperial City. Here you can buy anything you want. Even if something isn't here, if you want it, the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce will post a mission to find it for you.

For his future development, Yang Lingchen also had a preliminary plan: first, buy some medicinal ingredients to perform Alchemy. With Medicinal Pills, he could sell them. Once he earned enough divine origin stones, he could go to the Alchemist Guild to exchange for more Advanced Pill Formulas.

As for the job at the Princesss Mansion, Yang Lingchen actually didn't take it to heart. The main reason he was willing to accept this job was to find a backer in Great Zhou City, and Zhou Ruobing was the best backer.

Walking on the streets of Great Zhou Imperial City, Yang Lingchen felt incredibly insignificant for the first time. After all, this was not like Wentian Palace; there were no palace rules here, so anyone could threaten his life.

Therefore, before his strength became powerful, Yang Lingchen tried to keep a low profile. Of course, there were limits to being low-key. If others bullied him, he couldn't just ignore it.

The Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce headquarters is located in the most prosperous area of Great Zhou City.

The street was bustling with people, pedestrians flowing endlessly. The hawkers' shouts on both sides of the street were incessant, and occasionally, beautifully dressed women with revealing clothing would lean out of windows, teasing passersby.

"Young Master, come in and have some fun!"

Just then, two curvaceous women in revealing clothes suddenly hugged Yang Lingchen's arms from behind, pulling him towards the nearby Lichun Brothel.

"Sorry! I don't have money. Can I put it on credit and let me have some fun first?"

Yang Lingchen chuckled, saying that the best way to deal with such women was to say he had no money.

"Dressed like a human, but you have no money and still want to play? Go home and play with yourself!"

Hearing Yang Lingchen say he had no money, the curvaceous woman's expression instantly changed, and she directly flung off Yang Lingchen's arm.

"Handsome guy, if she won't give you credit, I will! Come upstairs with this servant!" Another woman purred seductively, pulling Yang Lingchen's arm and heading upstairs.

"I really have no money. Are you sure you want to give me credit?" Yang Lingchen asked again.

"Talking about money hurts feelings too much! Handsome guy, let's go upstairs and sit for a while!" The woman leaned coquettishly against Yang Lingchen.

"Cui Lan, are you crazy? This kid has no money!" The woman in revealing clothes said.

"What if he has no money? With his looks, just one time with him would be something to brag about for a lifetime. It's better than you playing with those ugly monsters every day, right?" The woman sneered.

"Kid, come upstairs! I'll also let you have credit once." The woman in revealing clothes changed her tone and hugged Yang Lingchen's other arm again.

"Oh heavens! Is being handsome also a fault?"

Yang Lingchen felt a wave of speechlessness.

Immediately, he vibrated his arms with Divine Origin Power, then activated the Phantom Movement Technique, instantly disappearing from the spot, as if fearing that if he was a step slower, he would be stripped alive by the two courtesans.
