Chapter 730 729: Why Can't a Mosquito Be a Contracted Beast? This is Racial Discrimination

Gu Yuexi pretended not to hear Chu Sheng's muttering and walked straight through the gates of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

The Thousand Mechanism Pavilion in Luoping City was similar in nature to the Lingwu Halls in Blue Star's Jiang City.

Most Cultivators came to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion to accept missions, trade resources, spar with Spells, or exchange Points.

It was a chaotic place teeming with people of all kinds, making it the easiest place to earn one's first pot of gold.

The moment Gu Yuexi stepped into the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, she drew the attention of nearly every male Cultivator in the hall.

It couldn't be helped. Gu Yuexi was simply too beautiful.

Her skin was fair, her features delicate.

This was especially true of her cold and otherworldly aura.

It formed an extremely stark contrast with the boisterous, rough-and-tumble environment of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

She was completely out of place!

In a booth in the corner of the hall sat a three-man team.

Their leader, a middle-aged man with a full beard, stared wide-eyed the moment he saw Gu Yuexi enter.

He shot to his feet.

'She's only at the Profound Understanding Realm, yet she dares to come to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion to accept missions alone.'

'These self-righteous, pretty women are the easiest to fool.'

The middle-aged man rubbed his hands together and chuckled lecherously.

His name was Tang Jiesheng, a Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Eighth Layer.

Among the Loose Cultivators of Luoping City, he was considered a somebody.

"Boss Tang, you're absolutely right," a young man with a full head of blond hair next to him quickly chimed in, a sleazy grin on his face.

"Women like her really think the missions from the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion are child's play."

"When the mission gets dangerous, she'll just end up begging us men for help."

The last man, who had shifty, rat-like eyes and was nicknamed Rat, also nodded in agreement.

"Boss Tang, you're an expert in this area."

"After you get your hands on her, don't forget about us brothers!"

Tang Jiesheng let out two lecherous chuckles and puffed out his chest.

"Don't you worry, Huang Mao, Rat."

"I guarantee I'll have her wrapped around my finger within one hour."

"Once I'm tired of playing with her in a couple of days, I'll let you two have a turn."

"Thank you, Boss Tang!"

"Thank you, Boss Tang!"

Huang Mao and Rat, their faces alight with excitement, thanked him profusely.

Amidst their fawning compliments, Tang Jiesheng straightened his collar, struck what he believed to be a dashing pose, and strode toward Gu Yuexi.

Arriving before Gu Yuexi, Tang Jiesheng cupped his hands in a gesture he thought was gentlemanly.

"Beauty—"

He had barely gotten one word out before Gu Yuexi coldly cut him off.

Gu Yuexi didn't even give him a proper look.

She merely swept a cold glance over him, her thin lips parting to utter a single word.

"Scram!"

"Uh..."

The smile on Tang Jiesheng's face froze instantly, and he stood there, stunned.

It took him a long moment to recover.

'What the hell?'

'I haven't even gotten to the point yet!'

'And you're telling me to "scram"?'

'You, a mere Profound Understanding Realm Female Cultivator.'

'Here in Luoping City, you're telling me, a Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator, to scram!'

After a moment of shock, fury surged up from the bottom of Tang Jiesheng's heart.

But he knew that if he lost his temper here and publicly made things difficult for a Female Cultivator, it would only make him look classless.

And he would have no chance of winning her favor.

Let alone getting his hands on her.

Besides, he couldn't use force within Luoping City.

Tang Jiesheng took a deep breath.

He forced himself to calm down and suppress his anger.

He watched Gu Yuexi's back as she walked away, gave a sinister smile, and followed her again.

"Beauty, you're here to accept a mission, right?"

"My name is Tang Jiesheng. I've been hanging around this Thousand Mechanism Pavilion for several hundred years, so I'm very familiar with the place."

"Whatever type of mission you're looking for, I can give you recommendations and help you avoid the pitfalls and traps."

Tang Jiesheng followed behind Gu Yuexi, babbling on endlessly for some time.

He tried all sorts of ways to get close to her.

But Gu Yuexi couldn't be bothered with him. She didn't even pause, walking straight toward the registration counter.

Her cold, unapproachable demeanor made the smile on Tang Jiesheng's face freeze completely.

He had lived for several thousand years and had "played with" at least eighty, if not a hundred, Female Cultivators.

Yet, he had never met a woman so utterly impervious.

This only made his desire to conquer her even stronger.

'Shameless bitch. Throws my kindness back in my face.'

Tang Jiesheng stopped, his expression dark, and returned to his companions with a vicious look in his eyes.

'Just wait until you're on a mission. I have plenty of ways to deal with you!'

'I'll make you come crying and begging to me!'

Huang Mao and Rat hastily agreed, showering him with all sorts of flattering words.

From beginning to end, Gu Yuexi never once glanced at Tang Jiesheng.

She walked to the counter and looked at the staff member inside.

"Registering to accept a mission."

The staff member was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Yuexi's face.

He immediately recovered.

He enthusiastically took out a form shimmering with a faint glow of Spiritual Qi and handed it to Gu Yuexi.

"Hello, Fairy."

"You just need to use your Spiritual Qi to transfer your personal information onto this form."

"Once it's filled out, you can register your mission identity and accept missions of the corresponding level."

Gu Yuexi took the form. With a flicker of her Divine Thought, she infused it with Spiritual Qi.

She quickly completed the form and handed it back.

The staff member took the form and looked it over carefully.

When he saw the section for Contracted Beast, he froze.

'A Profound Understanding Realm Beast Tamer...'

'Her Contracted Beast is...'

'A White-striped Aedes Mosquito???'

Uncertain, the staff member rubbed his eyes and stared at the form again and again.

After triple-checking, he confirmed that the Contracted Beast Gu Yuexi had filled in was indeed a White-striped Aedes Mosquito.

He was completely baffled.

In his opinion, a Beast Tamer advanced to the Profound Understanding Realm by relying on a mosquito?

'Isn't that just pure bullshit?!'

'What kind of Beast Tamer would form a contract with an ordinary White-striped Aedes Mosquito?!'

Out of professional courtesy, the staff member maintained a polite smile.

"Fairy Gu, your Contracted Beast... Did you perhaps fill this out incorrectly?"

"A White-striped Aedes Mosquito... How could that possibly be a Contracted Beast?"

"It's not wrong," Gu Yuexi replied calmly.

The staff member hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, unable to believe it.

"Fairy Gu, I'm very sorry."

"Our Thousand Mechanism Pavilion requires all information to be truthful and valid. Otherwise, you cannot accept missions."

"This is our responsibility to the employers, as well as for your own safety."

He phrased it diplomatically.

But his meaning was already obvious.

'Listing a mosquito as your Contracted Beast is clearly false information.'

'The Thousand Mechanism Pavilion cannot provide services to someone who provides false information.'

Gu Yuexi could actually understand the staff member's refusal.

It was like a rich and powerful person hiring a bodyguard—they would certainly need to know their background inside and out.

They would never allow a hired bodyguard to lie about their personal information or exaggerate their strength.

And the matter of a Beast Tamer contracting a White-striped Aedes Mosquito was indeed too outrageous.

Back on Blue Star, Gu Yuexi had already endured this kind of suspicious gaze countless times.

Now that she was in the Spirit Realm, she had simply returned to a state of being questioned by others.

She didn't waste any more words.

With a thought, she directly summoned Chu Sheng from her pocket.

"You tell him yourself."

Chu Sheng had been catching up on sleep in her pocket, sleeping soundly.

Suddenly awakened, he was extremely grumpy.

He flew out with a BUZZ and landed on the counter.

His body, smaller than a fingernail, faced the staff member.

He looked at the staff member and buzzed unhappily, his voice transmitting clearly into the man's ears.

"What?"

"A White-striped Aedes Mosquito."

"Can't be a Contracted Beast?"

"Don't you know,"

"that this is racial discrimination?!"
