Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 291: Chapter 263: Newly Arrived

’I wonder what Shazhou City is like?’ As the light of the Teleportation Array gradually dimmed, Li Qian knew he had arrived in Shazhou City.

”First time in Shazhou City, son?” A middle-aged man who had been in the Teleportation Array with Li Qian overheard him muttering to himself and asked casually.

Li Qian nodded.

”Shazhou City is really something else. Definitely worth the trip,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

”How is it different?” Li Qian asked, his curiosity piqued.

”I won’t spoil the specifics for you. You’ll find out soon enough.”

With that, the middle-aged man stood up.

Li Qian followed suit and got to his feet.

”Are you from Shazhou City, sir?” Li Qian asked as they walked side by side.

The middle-aged man had a kind face and seemed easy to get along with.

Li Qian had a good first impression of him.

The middle-aged man chuckled. ”Oh, I’m no local.”

”I’m just here on business. I’ll be heading back to Zhonghai City in a few days.”

”What about you?”

Li Qian smiled back. ”I’m not a local either. I’m here for my studies and will be heading back in a few months.”

”Haha... you’re a funny kid.” The middle-aged man laughed heartily when he noticed Li Qian mimicking his way of speaking.

Laughing and chatting, the two of them left the Teleportation Room, took an elevator, and arrived in the main hall.

”Li Qian, over here!” The moment he stepped into the main hall, a familiar voice called out.

Li Qian looked toward the sound and saw a stunning sight.

It was Tu Jiaojiao.

”Goodbye, sir.” Without hesitating, he waved to the middle-aged man and strode over to his friends.

”You guys just waited here? Didn’t you go take a look outside?” Li Qian asked.

Li Lanying and Fatty An walked over. ”We all entered the Yunlan City Transmission Center together, so it only makes sense that we all leave the Shazhou City Transmission Center together.”

”You didn’t wait long, did you?” Li Qian asked with a small smile.

”Not too long,” Fatty An replied with a grin.

The group of four wasted no more time and headed straight for the exit of the Transmission Center.

The moment they stepped out of the Transmission Center, they were stunned by the sight that greeted them.

Gazing at the scene before him, Li Qian finally understood what the middle-aged man had meant by ”different.”

This wasn’t just ”different”—it was a whole other world!

Everywhere they looked, the scenery was exotic, completely unlike anything in Zhonghai City or Nandu City.

The buildings here weren’t very tall, but nearly every one was constructed from red brick.

Or at least, red brick was the primary building material.

’I don’t even know if these red blocks are actual bricks, but I’ll just call them that for now,’ Li Qian thought.

Of course, they could also be some kind of red stone.

Besides the red masonry, more than half the buildings here were topped with spires shaped like onion domes.

These spires sprouted up everywhere like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, giving one the feeling of soaring ambition.

’It looks a bit like the architecture from that large country north of Huaxia in my past life,’ he mused.

There was a strange beauty to its ruggedness.

Aside from the architecture, the streets, roads, sculptures, and even the streetlights were unlike those anywhere else.

What was even more peculiar were the greenbelts lining the roads.

Or to be more precise, you couldn’t call them greenbelts. They were more like ”redbelts.”

Instead of green trees, the roadsides were planted with a species of tall, straight, umbrella-shaped trees.

The most striking feature of these trees was that their leaves weren’t green, but a pale red.

They were somewhat similar to maple leaves, though not nearly as vibrant.

And based on their shape, they were definitely not maples.

The pale red trees and brick-red buildings complemented each other, casting a crimson glow over the entire city, as if it were perpetually bathed in sunset.

As their eyes scanned the surroundings, the group of four soon found their attention drawn elsewhere.

’The Beast Masters here seem pretty different, too.’

In addition to the standard members of the Dongxia Race, who had black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin just like Li Qian, they could also see quite a few Gaochang People.

In fact, the Western Province was a province predominantly populated by the Gaochang People.

These Gaochang People were generally tall, with high-bridged noses, blue eyes, and brown hair. They bore a striking resemblance to the people of certain Western Federations.

Li Qian even spotted a few members of the Snow Race People, who had skin as white as snow, pointed ears, and hair that was just as white.

It was said that the Snow Race People lived year-round on the Snowfield Plateau, and their population was quite small.

’I never thought I’d actually run into them in Shazhou City.’

Beyond them, there were also Wuxi Clan People, who sported fiery red hair.

Li Qian observed covertly and soon realized that these women of the other races were by no means inferior in appearance, even when compared to Li Lanying and Tu Jiaojiao next to him.

In particular, Li Qian noticed they were generally quite tall, with impressively developed figures.

’A bit like the Western women from my previous life.’

Busty, with shapely behinds, their curves were truly something else.

Fatty An’s eyes nearly popped out of his head at the sight.

Li Qian, too, found himself staring in amazement.

He had read his fair share of books about the Western Province, but what was that saying? ’Knowledge from books is ultimately shallow; true understanding comes only from personal experience.’

”Qianzi, look at that! That chick, that body... tsk, tsk, tsk...” Fatty An said in a sleazy tone, pointing at a beautiful woman strolling down the street not far from the Transmission Center.

Hearing this, Li Qian instinctively glanced over.

She was, indeed, a knockout.

She had a mane of fiery red, wavy hair.

Her figure could only be described as ”bombshell.”

What’s more, the beauty was dressed in a very revealing outfit.

A leather top and shorts revealed her stunning curves without holding anything back.

She exuded a wild, primal beauty, like a pantheress, making it impossible not to stare.

Just as Li Qian’s gaze landed on her, the beautiful woman with the mane of fiery red hair seemed to notice.

She turned and looked right in their direction.

Seeing this, Li Qian immediately wiped the smile off his face and smacked Fatty An on the back of the head. ”Fatty An, if you’ve got a death wish, leave me out of it.”

As he spoke, he gave the red-haired woman a respectful nod.

He had no choice. With intuition that sharp, there was no way in hell she wasn’t a powerhouse, and Li Qian would die before believing otherwise.

”That woman... the Energy contained within her body is terrifying!” Li Lanying’s Beast Taming Talent was unique, allowing her to perceive a hint of the woman’s power.

But the moment the words left her mouth, the beautiful woman with the fiery red hair appeared before the four of them in a flash, moving as fast as lightning.

She swept her gaze over the four of them, her eyes finally landing on Li Lanying. ”Little girl, it’s not very polite to size people up with your Beast Taming Talent.”

Li Qian’s heart skipped a beat when he heard her words.

’If it was just a guess before, now I’m one hundred percent certain.’

’This woman’s power is absolutely terrifying.’

’She has to be a Dominator Level Beast Master, at least.’

”I’m sorry, ma’am. We’re new here and not familiar with the local customs. Please forgive us for our rudeness,” Li Qian blurted out, apologizing without a second thought.

’We’re in the wrong, and she’s way stronger than us. What else can we do but apologize?’

Li Lanying, also realizing her recklessness, quickly chimed in with her own apology. ”I’m sorry, ma’am! It was careless of me to offend you!”

”All right, just don’t do it again. You were lucky it was me you ran into this time. If it had been someone else, they might have left you with a more... lasting impression.” The stunning woman with the fiery red hair chuckled, then strode away.
