Chapter 501: The Next Unlucky One (5)
“Yes.” The head butler turned to call for help while the second butler carefully stayed by Leng Ruoxue’s side to wait on her!
“Second Butler, are you afraid of me?” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help teasing the nervous Second Butler.
“N-No!” the Second Butler said with a slight tremble. Boohoo… Why was the pressure on him getting stronger? He didn’t dare to look directly at Leng Ruoxue now!
“Second Butler, wait aside first! We’ll call you if there’s anything,” the freak said coldly. He was very displeased with the Second Butler’s shy reaction, so he was jealous again!
“Pfft!” The freak’s reaction made Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help but chuckle. Hehe, why was the freak so cute!
“How dare you laugh at me!” The freak rolled his eyes at Leng Ruoxue and said with slight displeasure. Boohoo… Xue’er was also a disaster!
“Hehe!” Leng Ruoxue smiled even more happily. She even stole a kiss on his lips while the freak was not paying attention!
“Xue’er!” The freak’s obsidian-like bright eyes burned with care and pa.s.sion as he stared at Xue’er affectionately!
Leng Ruoxue also looked back at the freak lovingly…
“Ahem!” The head butler, who had been back for a while, coughed awkwardly. Then he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Leng Ruoxue and the freak.
The people behind him also turned their heads tacitly, trying to minimize their presence…
“You’re here. Find a place to sit!” Leng Ruoxue ended her affectionate gaze with the freak and looked at everyone awkwardly.
“Yes, Miss,” everyone answered. Some of them had already seen Leng Ruoxue once, and some were seeing Leng Ruoxue for the first time. However, on the way here, the Head butler had already told them about the situation of the young miss and wanted them to be mentally prepared. However, they were still stunned when they first saw the beauty of Leng Ruoxue and the freak because these two were not ordinarily beautiful! They were basically ten-thousand-year-old demons!
“Cheng Wu, tell me about the situation in Myriad Mountain City!” Leng Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes gently swept over everyone and said. She had heard from the main butler that she wanted to hear what others thought of Myriad Mountain City now.
“Miss, please take a look. This is the map of Myriad Mountain City!” Cheng Wu composed himself, stood up, and took out a slightly yellowed beast skin scroll from his ring, placing it on the stone table in front of Leng Ruoxue and the freak.
“Oh!” Leng Ruoxue looked at the map and answered lightly.
“Miss, Myriad Mountain City is actually divided into the inner and outer cities. The relatively safe place when you just enter Myriad Mountain City is called the inner city by us. That place has always been occupied by the five major forces. At the same time, that place is also the most prosperous place in the business circulation of Ten Thousand Mountain City. If we want to transact, we have to enter the inner city. Moreover, the price of selling things to the five major forces has been forced downwards.”
“The sphere of influence we are currently in is called the outer city. Not only are there few resources here, but the number of people here is several times that of the inner city, so life is relatively difficult. Therefore, many forces have to rely on the five major forces because of life.” Cheng Wu explained.
“But I heard that many Mystic Supremacies also live in the outer city, right?” Leng Ruoxue asked casually.
“Yes, Miss. The Mystic Supremacies are very powerful. The five major factions would not dare to provoke them unless they were absolutely confident. Moreover, generally, all Mystic Supremacies are loners. They rarely establish factions. Moreover, the Mystic Supremacies are very rich, so they naturally won’t have any burden. However, we are different. Many people brought their families to Myriad Mountain City for an adventure. Comparatively, life is even more difficult. Uh! The situation of the factions with fewer people can still be better,” Cheng Wu said.
“Why can’t we transact in the outer city?” Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.
“Because the five major factions don’t allow it, they want to firmly grasp the business of Myriad Mountain City in their hands, so they will immediately kill anyone mercilessly as soon as they discover that someone is conducting transactions in the outer city! No one will dare to transact in the outer city after a long time!” Cheng Wu said very patiently. His situation was relatively good among all the factions, mainly because he didn’t have many subordinates. If he took in everyone he saw like w.a.n.g Long, then he would probably not be able to eat anymore!
“Oh, is there anyone else you want to add?” Leng Ruoxue looked at everyone.
“Miss, beautiful women are very unsafe in Myriad Mountain City,” a young man added.
“Anything else?” Leng Ruoxue continued to ask. Alas! A woman with low strength but stunning beauty would probably not be safe anywhere!
“Miss, there are many rules in Myriad Mountain City. Moreover, many are set by the five great factions. Moreover, they order us to follow them!” another person said.
“What rules? Give me an example!” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously. She had never heard of the Myriad Mountain City having its own rules. However, these rules seemed to have been pa.s.sed down for many years and not set by a particular faction.
“For example, the rules state that we have to pay head tax every year. This is very stressful for the factions with a large number of people!” the person continued. It was because of this that many factions later on didn’t dare to casually take in people unless they were true experts!
“What does this have to do with them? The Myriad Mountain City doesn’t belong to just anyone!” Leng Ruoxue frowned and said speechlessly. Did these five factions treat themselves as the masters of a city? They had to pay a head tax!
“The strong are respected in Myriad Mountain City. Whoever has the biggest fist is the one who decides!” the person said. These were the words that the five major factions often said.
“Oh!” Leng Ruoxue answered lightly and lowered her head in thought.
“Miss, what should we do next?” Cheng Wu couldn’t help asking anxiously when he saw that everyone was almost done talking.
“Tell me, how determined are you to change this situation?” Leng Ruoxue looked up at everyone after a while.
“As long as Miss leads us, we will definitely be able to defeat the five great factions and build a new Myriad Mountain City!” Cheng Wu said with high fighting spirit.
