Looking towards the ice sculpture which seemed very lifelike not just because a real living being was frozen inside it, but also due to how thin and almost invisible the layer of ice around her was, the curious sword cultivator stretched his hands towards her breasts which looked very attractive despite being frozen due to which he doubted if they were even frozen.
Touching the breasts which were covered in ice, Jian Shen almost squeezed and caused the later of ice to be broken.
"Wow, can this be considered art?"
"I do. If you like this, wait till I take you back with me. I've got many more like this."
"Many more?"
"Yes. I freeze every woman who dares to flaunt her ugly beauty in front of me."
Chuckling wryly since the woman's voice made it obvious at how she would freeze every woman he dared to talk to, Jian Shen asked, "Isn't this considered as using violence?"
"What violence? I just froze the woman. Go ahead and thaw her if you want."
Letting out a heavy breath, Jian Shen asked, "What do you want, lady? My blood?"
"What would I do with your blood, little dragon?"
"I don't know, drink it?!"
Raising his hands in resignation, Jian Shen walked away and began thinking about how to enjoy himself until the City of Beginning opened by himself.
Sure it would be boring to not have any woman to accompany him, but what use was it for him to find a woman if they would all be frozen?
Luckily he didn't bring any woman outside of his World Crest due to which Jian Shen wasn't forced to get into a life and death battle with the dragon woman and force her to revert them back.
As for the one who was already frozen, Jian Shen could only hope that the authorities were capable and would manage to thaw her back into existence.
"If you want to use her time properly, I suggest you go to a casino instead of wasting time with ugly women, little dragon."
"Aren't female dragons open-minded and fine with a man having many lovers?"
"We are. I am fine with that as well. But that is only when the man is stronger than us. As for you, even if you were stronger than me, why would I let my future prisoner enjoy himself?"
"Humph! Didn't you just suggest I go to a casino?"
"Of course, I did. But that isn't so that you can enjoy yourself, little dragon. What I'm doing is the same as fattening the sheep before I kill it."
"What?"
"Just go inside one of them, you'll understand what I'm talking about."
Going towards one of these casinos since the voice entering his ear was even giving him directions and he had nothing to do anyway, Jian Shen finally stopped when he came across a huge building which despite not being tall was indeed covering a lot of ground.
"What is this? A hotel?"
"Go in."
Entering through the main entrance which was making not just him but everyone feel as if they were a bigshot and then being welcomed by hundreds of beautiful women bowing on both sides, Jian Shen began thinking that maybe this was one of those cults.
Luckily, he soon obtained proof that this place was indeed a casino once he saw people that he entered this building with on the brink of fighting as they tried their best to shove the Dao Stones in their hands into the hands of the receptionists and shouting exchange them all.
"What are they doing? Do those chips grant immortality?"
"Fufufufufufuf, you are so cute. Though in a way, all of them could be considered as trying to buy immortality. In this world, Dao is strength, and Dao is the path to immortality as well."
"Those chips will teach you, Dao? Isn't it better to keep hold of the stones which are the purest form of Dao Laws?"
"That depends on how much time you want to spend comprehending the Dao Laws."
Speaking to each other as if they were friends from a long time, Jian Shen ignored the huge crowd which showed no signs of reducing in size and kept growing as well and walked towards the corridor which forked to the other side and had another bench with receptionists behind it whom he guessed would do the same job.
Seeing this, everyone that was struggling to move to the front and enter the casino with the chips they were exchanging the Dao Stoned for began snickering coldly.
"That brat is just begging to be humiliated."
"Indeed. Does he think all of us are blind due to which all of us are fighting for a chance to buy the chips?"
"Ummm.. Maybe we should warn him. It seems like his first time here."
"Humph! Let's just enjoy the show. That brat only has himself to blame for looking more handsome than me."
Ignoring the obvious malicious yet anticipation filled looks, Jian Shen couldn't understand why people were the same regardless of where they were at. Everyone seemed to want to make fun of others and enjoy mocking them as they failed.
"Stop right there! Not just anyone is allowed to enter the VIP section! Turn around now before Iā¦"
Not paying attention towards the two spear-wielding pair of men who came from either side of the walls they were standing beside, Jian Shen made everyone think he was a weird one due to speaking to himself.
"Since you sent me here, help me out, dragon lady."
"What dragon crap are you talking about?! Even dragons have to bow in front of m..."
Freezing not just the one who spoke but the one standing beside him as well, Xiaxue added two more soldiers to her ice sculpture collection and said, "Since I've helped you, pay for me as well little dragon."
