~10 min read 1,919 words

Guan Yang stopped the wooden boat on the shore near the main gate and personally sent Han Li to outside the city gate.

Clearly, he was very familiar with those spear-holding demonic guards. After a few words, he brought Han Li into the city without any investigation.

Han Li stood by the street inside the gate, looked at the rows of neat buildings, nodded, and threw a few mid-tier magic stones to Guan Yang.

"Many thanks for the generous reward, Senior!"

The demonic man received these magic stones, and after checking them, his face showed joy and he thanked him repeatedly!

Generally, he would receive one or two mid-tier magic stones for ferrying a high-tier demon to and from Blue Waterfall City. The reward Han Li gave was three or four times that, so how could he not be overjoyed.

Han Li waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.

But Guan Yang hesitated for a moment, looked left and right to make sure no one was paying attention, and said in an extremely low voice: "If Senior really wants to fulfill your wish on this trip, you might as well go to Guangyuan Studio, perhaps you can get what you want."

After saying this, Guan Yang didn't wait for Han Li to ask anything more in surprise, and hurriedly bowed and turned out of the city gate.

"Guangyuan Studio!"

Han Li muttered in a low voice. The surprise on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a smile.

Since the other party said so, he really had to go and take a look.

In Blue Waterfall City, naturally, flying was also prohibited.

Han Li casually hailed a beast cart, and after saying "to the largest shop in the city," the middle-aged driver immediately said "understood" and urged the demonic beast to drive.

Han Li sat cross-legged in the cart, quietly pondering the next steps of his action, while his eyes looked casually out of the window on one side.

Blue Waterfall City was clearly much livelier than ordinary Demon Realm major cities. People came and went on both sides of the street, bustling and lively.

However, Han Li noticed that although most of these demons were low-tier demons with magic power only at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stage, the proportion of high-tier demons such as Spirit Transformation or Void Refinement was not small, and he even saw two Demon Venerable existences along the way.

And the beast cart had only just passed a few streets, not even leaving a corner of Blue Waterfall Lake.

"Eh, that person is..."

Han Li, who was originally sitting calmly, suddenly saw a familiar figure, his expression changed greatly, and he actually exclaimed.

"No, it's not her. The aura is completely different!" Han Li stared dead at the graceful figure who was walking into a shop by the road, and denied it with some disappointment. "Also, even if she ascended from the human world, she would only appear in the Spirit Realm, how could she run to the Demon Realm. But looking at the back, it really looks like her. Could it be that my cultivation base has soared recently, and my state of mind is somewhat unstable?" Han Li was still somewhat suspicious, but finally remembered something, and was suddenly enlightened. He hurriedly activated the Divine Sense Art, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breath.

At the same time, the graceful figure who entered the shop accompanied by several high-tier demons was precisely a demonic woman with a black veil, and there was a layer of thin black energy rolling on her body, turning into a light veil.

This made the woman's face even more indistinct, and outsiders could not peek at it at all.

Although Han Li could have used his powerful divine sense just now to directly invade and check her true face, he feared that the powerful divine sense fluctuations would alarm the existences above Demon Venerable in the city, so he didn't do it easily.

At this time, the demonic woman entered the shop accompanied by several ferocious-looking high-tier demons. Immediately, an old man looking like a shopkeeper brought several assistants to greet her. After bowing deeply, he invited the woman into a secret room at the back, and said respectfully: "Greetings, Envoy. This old one has already prepared everything you wanted. You can take them away at any time."

"Well done. You only proposed it the day before yesterday, and Manager Liao prepared it today. It seems that letting you just be a manager here is a bit of a waste of talent." The black-veiled woman sat on a chair, glanced at the old man, and said indifferently.

Her voice was pleasant, like the sound of an oriole.

"Don't dare, this old one is just following the Envoy's orders!" Manager Liao replied with a full face of fawning.

"Shihuo, you go and bring the things." The black-veiled woman didn't pay attention to the old man anymore, and ordered a demonic big man with a single horn on his head standing beside her.

"Yes, Seventh Miss!" The demonic big man agreed and walked out of the door with an assistant.

For the next while, the black-veiled woman sat quietly on the chair, having no interest in speaking anymore.

The old man and several other high-tier demons naturally could only honestly accompany her on the side, also not daring to open their mouths easily.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the demonic big man returned with the assistant and reported to the woman that all the things had been obtained.

The black-veiled woman nodded without changing her expression, but asked a question without any warning.

"Manager Liao, how many years have you been managing this shop?"

"This little one has been responsible for this shop since being transferred here two hundred years ago." Manager Liao's heart jumped, not daring to be negligent, he hurriedly replied, only his body lowered another two points in front of the black-veiled woman.

"Two hundred years, that's really not short. I suppose after such a long time, your family wealth has also become quite abundant." The black-veiled woman sighed lightly, saying a sentence that made the old man's heart tremble. "Envoy, is there some misunderstanding? Since this little one has been managing this shop, I have always been cautious and have never done anything beyond my duties. Even if you are a supervisory envoy sent from above, you cannot falsely accuse this little one without reason." Manager Liao said anxiously.

"Whether there is a problem is not for you to say. Muxi, take out the things, and let him be convinced!" The black-veiled woman sneered, and suddenly ordered one of the assistants standing behind the old man.

"Yes, Seventh Miss! The quantity, price, and transaction objects of the shop's incoming and outgoing goods for the past ten-plus years are all recorded on it. Please check, Seventh Miss!"

This assistant was a clean-looking youth who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Upon hearing the black-veiled woman's words, he stood out respectfully and took out a black account book from his sleeve, saying loudly: Manager Liao saw this scene, and his face turned gray and white.

And the black-veiled woman, with a single hand, "Puchi" sound, the account book was taken into her hand, and she lowered her head to check it.

"Sure enough, it is completely different from the other account book you gave me a few days ago. In just ten-plus years, you have embezzled so much. If you count other times, the quantity is astonishing. Manager Liao, what else do you have to say!" The black-veiled woman raised her chin, closed the account book, and asked indifferently, without any emotion.

"Muxi, you actually dare to frame and harm me. Seventh Miss, this kid and this old one have a private grudge, he is simply slandering me, this account book must be fake."

"Whether it's fake, I will know very soon. I will naturally use soul-searching on you. If it's true, you should die without resentment. If it's fake, I will naturally kill him to avenge you." The black-veiled woman smiled lightly, but her words made Manager Liao's soul fly away.

"No.

The old man let out a desperate low shout, suddenly shook his sleeves, and a ball of black energy rolled out. At the same time, he flipped his other palm hidden in his sleeve, and a yellow talisman appeared, which he shook rapidly.

Manager Liao's figure blurred, and he actually sank into the ground directly.

"A mere Foundation Establishment existence, yet daring to play these little tricks in front of me." The black-veiled woman sat on the chair without moving, but the demonic big man named Shihuo let out a ferocious laugh, and grabbed with one giant hand.

Immediately, a wild wind rose in the entire room, rolling the black mist away. At the same time, Manager Liao had only entered the ground halfway when he felt his body stiffen, and was controlled by an invisible giant force, unable to move at all.

"Seventh Miss, spare my life, this little one is willing to offer everything I embezzled..." Manager Liao screamed desperately.

When the black-veiled woman saw this situation, she sighed, and without saying a word, flicked her finger.

A breaking-air sound arose, and a black light flashed and disappeared, piercing through the old man's brow.

And the demonic big man named Shihuo immediately withdrew his palm. Immediately, with a "Pudong" sound, the corpse swayed and fell to the ground.

"Pity, you embezzled too many things, and long ago didn't know where you sold them, otherwise leaving you alive wouldn't be impossible. Muxi, from today on, you are the manager here. Shihuo, clean up the corpse, we are leaving. There are still a few shops to visit." The black-veiled woman ordered a few sentences, stood up from the chair, and walked out of the door calmly.

The demonic youth named Muxi was naturally overjoyed and knelt down to thank her, while the demonic big man agreed, opened his mouth toward the corpse, and rolled out a ball of black demonic fire, instantly turning the old man's corpse into ashes, and then followed her out with a ferocious laugh.

"This is the largest shop in this place?" Han Li had already gotten off the beast cart, looked at a seemingly somewhat old pavilion in front of him, and asked the driver with a frown.

Above the gate of the pavilion, a plaque with "Cai Xuan Pavilion" was hung.

"Senior, don't look at this Cai Xuan Pavilion as somewhat unremarkable, but it is absolutely the largest and oldest shop in this city." The driver said very affirmatively.

"Good, I will take a look first." Han Li heard this, still somewhat skeptical, but still walked toward the pavilion swaggeringly after paying the magic stones.

But the moment he stepped over the threshold of the pavilion, Han Li actually felt a trace of slight spatial fluctuations, then his eyes brightened, and a giant hall with an area of several mu appeared in front of him.

"Tsk tsk, actually used a spatial demonic weapon to open up a small Sumeru space. It seems that this place is not only the largest shop, but absolutely one of them." Han Li couldn't help but marvel, and only then did he scan the entire hall.!
