“Of course. It’s just a thousand celestial coins. Look at you, all flustered. I’ve got plenty of celestial coins.” Flaxseed swiftly took the item pouch from Jared’s hand and handed over a thousand celestial coins to Biggo.
Gazing at the thousand celestial coins, then shifting his eyes to Flaxseed‘s item pouch, Biggo was completely taken aback.
A fleeting glint of greed flashed in his eyes, but it was gone in an instant.
“All right, since the payment has been made, come with me to collect the goods.” Biggo led them back to the stage. He opened the iron cage and hauled the two women out.
“You can take them away now, but remember to mark them as prisoners. Without it, humans cannot freely move about the city. These humans are only suitable as slaves. While occasional venting is acceptable, they must never bear children, as that would taint the purity of the beast race’s bloodline.”
“You don’t need to worry about it. They’re with me now…”
Having said that, Flaxseed left with the two women.
Observing his impatience, Jared could only offer a resigned smile in response.
After they departed, a man with eyes shimmering with an eerie blue glow stepped forward toward Biggo.
“Biggo, did they really spend a thousand celestial coins?”
“They did! But they had far more than just a thousand celestial coins. I could sense at least ten thousand in their item pouch!”
“Ten thousand?” the blue-eyed man exclaimed in surprise. “It seems we’re about to strike it rich…”
“Rhino City has been on high alert lately. Soldiers are patrolling every street, making it risky to make a move. Besides, I’ve heard that a large number of spies from Winged Tiger City have infiltrated our ranks, plotting to assassinate the city lord. Acting now wouldn’t be wise…”
Despite his towering size, Biggo was far from reckless.
“Opportunities don’t come twice. After we score this time, we’ll leave Rhino City straight away. With all the celestial coins we have, we can live freely anywhere.”
After a moment of hesitation, Biggo nodded and said, “All right, make it quick.”
With that, the two figures vanished into the shadows.
Unbeknownst to Jared and his companions, Flaxseed’s flamboyant display of celestial coins had already drawn trouble their way.
Flaxseed led the two women to a secluded spot, his eyes gleaming with lust as favonovel.com continually licked his lips.
Terrified by his demeanor, the two women trembled uncontrollably.
Failing to their knees, they pleaded through their tears, “Please, don’t kill us! We beg you, spare our lives! We’ll do anything you ask, just don’t take our lives!”
“You don’t have to be scared. We’re not going to kill you.” Jared stepped forward, helping the two women to their feet. “We’re humans too.”
The women stared at Jared in shock. They couldn’t sense even the faintest trace of humanity from Jared or his companions.
“Where are you two from?” Reidan asked.
They were just Immortal Realm cultivators, undoubtedly brought to this realm by the guidance of the heaven and earth laws.
“We’re cultivators from the Worstrual Realm. We ended up here due to the guidance of the heaven and earth laws.”
“We didn’t know how brutal the celestial realm could be. We were captured the moment we arrived.”
The women poured out their sorrows, recalling how, in their realm, they had been figures of great influence, akin to queens who commanded their domains effortlessly. After all, anyone blessed with the guidance of the heaven and earth laws had to possess extraordinary talent.
Yet, in the celestial realm, their once-formidable existence had been reduced to mere captivity. The stark contrast was overwhelming, nearly unbearable.
Cultivators across realms spoke endlessly of the celestial realm’s magnificence, but none ever mentioned its ruthless nature.
