Yusuf Zuck jumped out over the western wall, and there were no Yulin guards outside the wall; meanwhile, Yusuf Zuck also wondered why the Higgins King didn’t want the Yulin to see his face?
"He’s no good either!" cursed Yusuf Zuck inwardly. He was using the Higgins King, but wasn’t the Higgins King using him as well? Even a person like the Higgins King probably didn’t take him seriously, treating him merely as an assassin for murder.
The Higgins King definitely did not have any trust in him. It was a relationship where each party took what they needed, and if the Higgins King really did become Emperor one day, Yusuf Zuck feared that he would be among the first batch of people the Higgins King would want to kill.
Yusuf Zuck knew well that the Higgins King couldn’t be trusted, but his current location was also the best place for him to stay, and he couldn’t find any other place more suitable for himself and the two women than with the Higgins King.
The Higgins King wanted him to go out and gather fresh information, as well as get familiar with the streets of Capital City. So he would do just that.
Once he was out of the Royal Palace, he removed his mask and turned into another street. Shortly after, he entered a restaurant, knowing that there was no better place to learn new things than a restaurant, where diners from all places come to eat, and where people talk while eating, often about interesting matters.
He had Gold Coins and Gold Leaf on him, so he wasn’t worried about money, and he promptly ordered ten specialty dishes and a pot of yellow wine.
Perhaps because this place wasn’t lacking in heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the cuisines here were particularly fragrant. When a full table of dishes was served, Yusuf Zuck, who had been waiting with drool, devoured everything voraciously.
"Oh right, buddy, are there any fun places in the city?" Yusuf Zuck pulled out a Gold Coin and handed it to the server.
"Sir, you’ve asked the right person." The server smiled from ear to ear, as other customers only tipped silver coins, but this customer was tipping Gold Coins. He immediately nodded and bowed, "If you like to gamble, you should go to the Eastern City Casino. They have all sorts of gambling there, even gambling with people’s lives."
"If you want to find women, just follow this street south and then to the west, and you will arrive at South Lake Park. It’s a huge park, and the park is full of brothels; you can find any type of woman you want."
"If you don’t like gambling or women, you must like swords. Spend a time at South City’s Thirteen Miles Row, which is Sword Art Street. The place is crowded with famous artisans, and you can buy all kinds of Treasure Swords there!" For original chapters go to novel·fıre·net
"If you don’t fancy swords but love flowers and birds instead, then go to West Town. They have Flower, Bird, Fish Street there, and right next to it is the Antiques Street."
"If you don’t like any of these, but you have money to spare, then you should go southwest of the city. There you will find large-scale pawnshops and auction houses, as well as the Beast Fighting Arena and the Demon Cultivator trading market."
"If none of these interest you, then head to the northern part of the city to Inquiry Road. There, you will find many schools and martial arts halls lined up, even the Saint Dragon Pavilion has a recruitment office there. But that’s where the immortals gather, and it is full of high and mighty experts!"
"How’s that? Was that detailed enough for you?" the server chuckled.
"Take it!" Yusuf Zuck threw another Gold Coin to the server, and also pointed to the table full of dishes, "How much?"
"Two Gold Coins will suffice!" the server held up a finger.
"Here are three. I’m taking this pot of wine!" Yusuf Zuck grabbed a crispy on the outside, tender on the inside roast chicken, picked up the pot of yellow wine, and jumped straight out the window!
"Have a safe trip..." the server drew out his words, his mouth so wide with joy it couldn’t close.
Yusuf Zuck headed southwest because he wanted to see demons and to see what kinds of demons were on the Demon Cultivator market street.
The Capital City was especially large; he left the restaurant at around eight or nine in the morning and only reached the so-called Demon Cultivator street by midday.
The street was very wide, shopfronts lined both sides, and the road was paved with blue stones. Looking inside, it was bustling with activity with martial artists carrying swords. Moreover, he saw many specially made large iron cages. Some cages were empty, but some contained people... no, demons!
Some demons were still furry, some hadn’t fully evolved, and some had evolved to the point of retaining only a tail and so on.
All these demons were stark naked, as if to facilitate onlookers to judge the quality of their skin and fur, and every demon had a metal ring on their neck. The ring shone brightly and was tightly locked, obviously a special collar for controlling Demon Cultivators.
Yusuf Zuck walked in and stopped in front of a cage, peering at a beast inside that still had fur but bore a human-like face. The beast’s eyes were lifeless, shrouded with the aura of death, filled with nothing but despair!
"Sir, are you interested in this little beast? If you want it, I can let it go for a cheaper price!" A middle-aged man in a green shirt approached with a smile, clasping his hands in greeting to Yusuf Zuck.
Yusuf Zuck could tell that this man in the green shirt had the cultivation level of Big Fetus Breath.
"What kind of beast is this? I can’t tell!" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.
"It’s an amphibious water demon of mixed breed. I’m not sure what its original form is, but the breeds are all mixed up these days!"
"Has it not formed its core yet?" Yusuf Zuck asked, still curious.
"A demon that has achieved Core Formation? They are rare here. Basically, you wouldn’t see one in a month. You must understand, demons that have formed their cores are incredibly difficult to capture, and a Core Demon’s power is immense. Even an average Solidifying Pill cultivator isn’t a match for it."
"Oh, I’ll look around some more then..." Yusuf Zuck nodded and didn’t ask any further questions, continuing his walk inside.
A moment later, he stopped in front of another cage which contained three girls around thirteen or fourteen years old, fair and tender-skinned, all without clothes, but each had a tail. Their incredibly pale and delicate bodies, coupled with streaming tears, made it very difficult for Yusuf Zuck to accept the scene. Perhaps because of different upbringing, he felt an overwhelming urge to smash the cage and free the three children!
At the same time, the area was crowded with various onlookers, men and women, who pointed and laughed at the three pale, tender girls, some even demanding that they spread their legs to have a closer look!
"Beasts!" Yusuf Zuck trembled with rage. These were humans, people! What if they had an extra tail? How were they any different from humans? How were they any different from the girls next door?
"How much for all three?" Yusuf Zuck asked loudly.
At his shout, everyone fell silent and turned their attention to him.
Another cultivator in a green shirt, also of Big Fetus Breath cultivation level, came over with a smile and replied, "If you take all of them, I’ll give you a 10% discount. The total for the three virgin beasts is 2.7 million Gold Coins!"
"2.7 million Gold Coins!" Yusuf Zuck gasped when he heard the number. That meant one girl cost a million Gold Coins, and even with a discount, it was still 900,000. He couldn’t afford that—not even one!
"That’s too expensive..." Without Yusuf saying a word, the surrounding customers shook their heads. At 900,000 Gold Coins each, it wasn’t something anyone could afford!
"Heh, these are the purest breeds of little beasts, born from the same mother, triplets, with Cloud Leopard as their original form. Not selling for less than 900,000 Gold Coins!" the cultivator in green declared loudly.
"The Cloud Leopard is indeed worth the price, but still not quite as precious as that female demon inside with the White Fox origin. That female demon is definitely worth owning, but what a pity, she’s too expensive—at 10 million Gold Coins!" someone in the crowd sighed regretfully.
"White Fox origin?" When Yusuf Zuck heard these words, he suddenly thought of Elijah Burch. Elijah Burch, too, had the body of a White Fox.
"Forget it, forget it, if you’re still unsold by tonight, I’ll come back to rescue you." After glancing once more at the pitiful sight of the three girls, Yusuf Zuck strode towards a raised platform further on, which drew an even larger crowd. On a big tree, there hung an iron cage, within which a naked woman with a white tail huddled up, her breath was faint, her body bruised all over, shivering, with her head buried under her knees.
"Let her lift her head up. Let’s see if she’s pretty or not..." The crowd jeered, and a bare-chested brute laughed loudly, swinging a whip onto the iron cage, jolting the battered and trembling woman inside to abruptly lift her head!
And just as the woman lifted her head for an instant, Yusuf Zuck, who was walking forward, felt the world spin around him!
Was that not the leader of Saint Dragon, Elijah Burch?
