The next day, Free-and-Easy was dragged away by Qi Yanran. Riding a semi-demon horse unique to the Demon Domain, they started traveling through it. At this time, Free-and-Easy saw the real life in the Demon Domain and understood why people there were different. Those who grew up here had their values and worldviews shaped by the environment, which might be what was meant by "the land nurtures its people."

On the way, Free-and-Easy and Qi Yanran encountered some troubles, but they were just minor ones caused by insignificant troublemakers. Qi Yanran killed them off. It was then that Free-and-Easy saw a different side of her and realized she was indeed a little devil.

But there was no need for him to be afraid; Qi Yanran would act like this only when someone provoked her, and she wouldn't do it if nobody bothered her. Furthermore, most of the times she killed others, it was because she wanted to protect Free-and-Easy, although she might have overprotected him.

Free-and-Easy wasn't affected by these incidents; he and Qi Yanran visited many scenic spots slowly as they traveled through various customs.

Finally, after two months, they reached their destination, the Heavenly Demon City. This was the core city of the Demon Domain where major events were always held.

The Heavenly Demon City was a bustling metropolis comparable to Qinglong City or even more prosperous. However, the architecture and customs here were different; there were conflicts everywhere, although no bloodshed occurred since killing was prohibited in the Heavenly Demon City.

Originally, this prohibition didn't exist, but considering that various sects often had vendettas and would frequently engage in large-scale fights, a rule was established: no killing, only injuring. However, one couldn't be caught by law enforcement or face being banned from entering the city for some time.

What were the consequences of breaking this rule Naturally, you'd be killed. The Demon Sect didn't care much about such matters; if you broke the rules in Heavenly Demon City, you had to pay a price. Nobody argued with this point.

Would killing by a god-level person have no repercussions either No, they would still be punished because Heavenly Demon City symbolized the Demon Sect and its regulations were the sect's rules. Within the Demon Sect, one could kill each other but had to abide by the sect's laws; otherwise, all demon sects would attack.

"You're safe here as long as no one dies. I'll meet some friends. Do you want to come along" After settling in, Qi Yanran asked him for his opinion.

Although she knew these friends were of high status and introducing them might bring benefits to Free-and-Easy, she felt that he wouldn't want to befriend strangers regardless of whether they were from the Demon Domain or at a higher position.

Indeed, shaking his head, Free-and-Easy said, "No need. I just want to rest for now. You go ahead."

"Alright, listen to me and call if you need anything." Qi Yanran patted Free-and-Easy's head as if treating him like a little brother, leaving him speechless but too lazy to argue.

After Qi Yanran left, Free-and-Easy sat in meditation in the room. Even though they traveled leisurely, he was still tired from the journey.

By the time he came out of his room, it was afternoon with clear skies. After gathering some information at their inn, he decided to visit an interesting market in Heavenly Demon City where everything could be found: entertainment, food and drinks, as well as treasure transactions.

The people of Heavenly Demon City called this market the West Market because it was located in the west part of the city. Sometimes place names were that simple, lacking poetic names but clearly indicating what they were.

As soon as Free-and-Easy arrived at the West Market, his eyes lit up; there seemed to be plenty here. If he had money now, he would buy everything, but unfortunately, he didn't have any cash and could only pick a few items.

What about Free-and-Easy's huge fortune Firstly, it was all in the form of silver notes that wouldn't work here since this was the Demon Domain. While the Demon Domain used silver notes too, they had their own money houses which mostly refused to acknowledge others' silver notes.

This meant that even if he carried these silver notes with him, he couldn't use them. Besides, he had already distributed most of his silver notes among Lone Star and others who could buy whatever they wanted, with most being in Lone Star's possession.

Free-and-Easy used to have some left over, but back then, Qi Bupao brought him here without his consent, and the silver notes he had on him were crushed by Qi Bupao’s palm strength.

Luckily, Free-and-Easy usually carried a bit of gold and silver for emergencies. So, while he did have some money, it wouldn't last long if he spent it now; he might need to set up a stall again to earn money.

But at this moment, he didn’t feel like doing that because he wasn't really short on cash unless there was an immediate chance of getting large sums of money. Then he would consider his options, which seemed unlikely for now.

Eating a pancake and some roasted chicken wings, the tastes were also good; this place truly had everything.

As Free-and-Easy ate the roasted chicken wings and thought about what to eat next, someone patted him on his shoulder...

The first reaction was that it must be Qi Yanran, as she happened to be here too. Since he didn't know anyone else in this place, nobody would come to pat him.

However, he was wrong; when he turned around and saw the person who patted him, they weren’t Qi Yanran or someone he knew but a complete stranger.

This stranger is quite good-looking, at least on the surface. She has a petite figure, a beautiful face, and well-fitted clothes. She's a very pretty young lady.

"Miss, did you mistake someone else for me" Xianyao asked directly. In such a situation, there's usually only one explanation: she mistook him for someone else.

"No, I have something to talk to you about. Come with me," the young lady said, shaking her head.

"We don't seem to know each other." Xianyao frowned. He didn't want to be mistaken for someone else. If she insists that it's not a mistake, why does she recognize him then Perhaps she mistook him for someone else but doesn't think so herself

"That's right, we don't know each other," the young lady said.

So, if you're not mistaken, what do you want from me

"What business do you have with me" Xianyao asked.

"Just come with me!" the young lady said somewhat unhappily. She seemed to think that Xianyao's question was questioning her authority and felt he should obediently follow without asking so many questions.

"Why" Xianyao asked.

"Why are you asking so many questions I told you to come with me, just do it! You'll know what's going on later," the young lady said irritably.

"I'm not interested in your business. Since we don't know each other, why should I follow you" After saying this, Xianyao turned around and continued walking forward without paying attention to that young lady.

"Stop!" The young lady bellowed angrily. Daring to defy her He's dead!

The young lady was extremely unhappy, wanting to immediately teach Xianyao a lesson. Unexpectedly, the other side didn't even pay attention to her shouts and continued walking forward. This made her feel somewhat embarrassed, regretting agreeing to do this for someone.

"Stop right there!" The young lady darted in front of Xianyao, showing very agile movements. Xianyao could see that despite her small appearance, she had quite some strength. Indeed, it was the Heavenly Devil City; everyone here is extraordinary.

Because of this, Xianyao didn't think the young lady was special either. There were many people in the Heavenly Devil City who were much stronger than her and even younger.

In such a situation, how could he be surprised He's used to it.

"Miss, since we don't know each other, let's go our separate ways without blocking others," Xianyao said with a frown. His words were gentle but the young lady could sense his intention behind them.

His meaning was not just that they didn't know each other, and he wouldn't provoke her, but also that she shouldn't provoke him either.

The young lady no longer felt angry now. Looking at Xianyao, since he wasn't afraid of her, it meant he had some confidence behind him; probably someone with a background. In Heavenly Devil City, encountering people with backgrounds is common and should be treated cautiously to avoid unnecessary enemies.

Moreover, this matter was just minor. If others approached her like this, she would do the same thing. But she needed to continue this and bring this young man over.

"You're so stubborn. I only want you to meet a few people; we want to play a game with you. Since you seem idle, why don't we become acquaintances," said the young lady. Her tone had changed completely from before, sounding much more pleasant now.

"Play a game" Xianyao was taken aback. He didn’t expect someone would pick him to play a game and seemingly randomly at that.

"Yes, among us, there's someone who claims to be the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang. We don't believe it so we want to bet with him. So we picked a passerby to compete with his intelligence." The young lady continued, "And he chose you!"

Indeed, I was chosen by coincidence as this passerby. It's quite interesting, but the game is too boring and meaningless for me.

"Saying all that doesn’t help; I’m not interested…" Xianyao shook his head and rejected her.

The young lady felt somewhat depressed now. Thinking about herself, she was always pampered as a favored princess. When she speaks, others immediately come to serve her at once. Now, however, she couldn't even deal with this passerby; it made her very frustrated.

Originally, she thought that by simply giving a flirtatious look, she could settle things easily, but this young man was completely unresponsive and rejected her multiple times. It's such an insult to her dignity! If she can't deal with him, they'll laugh at her for sure, which is absolutely unacceptable.(To be continued...)red, everyone knew that it was definitely not just decoration; they could tell by its icy sharpness."All of you move away, I don’t want to hurt any of you," Situ Hao said coldly as he drew out his own...
