"what the hell is wrong with that old man he left an hour ago and didn't return, what should I do, I think I should leave from here, I am wasting my time here, "Shivam thought to himself as he was drinking the tea and a woman could be seen standing in front of him, looking at him with the red face, as she has never seen the man like him.

Seeing that woman looking at him like that, he chuckled and gave a beautiful smile to her, she was the only one accompanying him in the guest room, he drank around ten cups of tea and every time he finishes, that woman serves him another cup, it was awkward to him but he waited about an hour calmly and didn't refuse her offer.

"I think I should leave, I'll come another time it seems city lord is a busy person" he looks towards the woman who was standing in front of him, hearing the city lord's name her facial expression changed, she shook her head towards him, didn't say any word because she is here to serve him tea and food, in an entire hour she didn't say any word she was quietly looking at him and she is mesmarised with his handsome face.

He was about to leave but suddenly he felt an overwhelming aura out of nowhere, his heart started beating faster and louder when he saw a figure who just enter inside the room, and an old man than was accompanying this guy from behind, the middle-aged man looked towards the Shivam top to bottom and smiled.

"I am sorry, I was in the middle of something that's why it took more time than usual" he looks at Shivam and said those words and his gaze went towards the maid who was standing at the corner of the room, seeing his master gaze she nodded her head and left the room.

"it's okay I can understand," he responded to the middle-aged man with a nonchalant expression,the man nodded his head and smiled "you are a quite generous young man please have a seat, "the man said looking at Shivam, hearing his words Shivam nodded his head and took a seat in front of him, while old man than was standing behind his city lord.

The room was dead silent and the aura around the city lord was quite imposing, Shivam never thought that he will meet anyone like that in this northern region, he gulped mouthful saliva nervously, seeing his nervous face the man in front of him smiled.

"my name is Xie yuan and I govern the River shore city, and also I am the patriarch of the Xie Clan, one of the ruling clans which serve Somali kingdom, I am impressed that you have that kind of talent, you became cultivator in young age," Xie yuan looked towards him and smiled. while Shivam's heart skipped a beat hearing that he is the patriarch of the Xie Clan, one of the major clans that serve under the Somali kingdom.

"You are a quite generous lord Xie, my talent is not that great" he responded to Xie yuan with a bitter smile on his face, hearing those words Xie yuan laugh.

"Well I like a young man like you, despite being a cultivator at such a young age you are very polite and don't have arrogance, I wonder where did you come from"Xie yuan smile and look at him with a serious gaze, Shivam also looked towards him with deep blue eyes.

"I live my whole life as a village side and don't have a background, I am just a rogue cultivator lord Xie," he responded him with a calm manner

Lord Xie looked at him with a perplexed expression as he didn't believe the single words he utters, but he didn't say anything and merely smiled at him"May I ask why did you want to enter inside the portal of the beast nation, what is your business there, I have never seen anyone at your level dared to enter in the beast nation,only higher cultivator are allowed to enter inside the beast nations"Lord Xie responded to him

Hearing those words his facial expression changed, he thought that his effort coming here went in vain, but he didn't care about those fucking rules as he has to go inside the portal anyhow, by hook or by crook, lord Xie noticed the serious expression on his face, Shivam took a deep breath and looked at the Xie yuan

"Lord Xie you don't have to worry about my safety, I am responsible for my own safety," Shivam looks at him with an adamant look as he was desperate to go inside the portal, lord Xie took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Young man you are not understanding I don't care about your reason to go there but it's very expensive to operate the portal, it requires tons of money to operate the portal, it is a very expensive means to travel around the kingdom, somehow I permit you to enter inside that place do you have that kind of amount to pay"Lord Xie explained him.

hearing lord Xie's words a smile appears on his face," I can understand I will pay you the required amount, you don't have to worry about the money"Shivam responded to him hearing those words lord Xie laugh.

"It will cost you fortune kid, and you do not belong to any big clan or a big sect, I suggest that you should wait for a year because every five years the portal opened for an event where five kingdoms gathered together and take a part in the event where they represent their kingdom in front of the black raven empire, so its a good chance for you to enter without paying that kind of hefty amount"the lord Xie responded to him.

"I don't have that kind of time to waste while waiting over the year," he responded to lord Xie, and the next moment he summons an advanced beast stone, and the next moment the whole room filled with the advanced beast stones mana, lord Xie, and old man Han was taken aback seeing this, lord Xie's heart skipped a beat seeing this beast stone in Shivam's hands, he looks towards the Shivam with a dark expression on his face.

"How did you get this, i have never seen anything like that in my whole life, "Lord Xie asked with excitement seeing the unknown beast stone in Shivam's hand.

"I was just lucky that I encounter this beast stone in a deep forest inside the cave, I hope this beast stone covered the all-expense for the portal," he smiled and showed the beast stone to lord Xie, seeing the beast stone lord Xie gulped mouthful saliva nervously as he raised his hand towards the beast stone.

when his hand touched the beast stone he felt a profound feeling and unimaginable amount of mana which was coming from this beast stones, old man han also looking at the beast stones with wide eyes.

He didn't believe that he was holding something like that, he has seen various kinds of beast stones in his whole life, but this is the first time that he encountered something like this, he is not believing in his eyes, he looked towards the Shivam with a serious gaze.

"Do you know the value of these beast stones, if anyone found out that you have this kind of treasure in your hand, you might be in trouble and yet you are giving me this beast stone very casually, who are you kid, with this kind of treasure you can build a massive clan or sect for your self and living a whole life without being any worry, and here you are giving me this treasure just because you wanted to enter in the beast kingdom"Lord Xie become confused.

"I am not interested to build a clan or sect, I don't have anything to give you apart from this beast stone I hope you understand the urgency," he responded to lord Xie.

after hearing those words lord Xie took a moment and look at him with narrowed eyes, "okay I understand, I allowed you to enter inside the portal,but i wanrned you that place is not meant for us,i heard that nation is very chaotic becouse of those four dragons clans,you are courting death,they are not welcome towards human like us,think one more time before entering in that kingdom,you are very young and have a great future ahead you"Lord xie looked at him and warned him but alas his word didn't affect him,seeing this lord xie shook his head.

"it will take one day to prepare the portal, until than you are guest here in my mansion,if you need anything please feel free to ask me, elder han will guide you towards your room "the lord Xie responded to him and next moment his gaze went towards the elder han.

"Leave it to me, my lord, I'll guide young master to his room and look after him"old man han bowed his head towards the Xie yuan and look towards the Shivam.
