Protagonist:

Shen Yao

The parasites seemed to have received some order, no longer continuing to attack Shen Yao and the others.

On this stretch of road entering Jin Jue City, Shen Yao and the others traveled extremely smoothly.

The system exclaimed that the mastermind behind the scenes had actually just given up like that, not knowing whether it was because Jin Jue City's side was too busy, or because Shen Yao and the others no longer had attack value; after all, they couldn't stop the other side from coming to Jin Jue City, and arranging more parasites would be a waste of effort.

'Perhaps both reasons,' but as for the geographic location of the mastermind behind the scenes, Jin Jue City was undoubtedly it.

'I still haven't discovered any suspicious traces; hidden too deeply?'

The system's surveillance of Jin Jue City was not a matter of a day or two, especially its comprehensive investigation of the four great clans of Jin Jue City and the City Lord's Mansion.

The results turned up were basically just irrelevant gossip news, and even if spoken out, they were harmless jokes; where exactly was the mother body of the parasites?

'Secret Realm'

Shen Yao spat out a point the system could not investigate, making the system embarrassed again and again.

Hmm

This indeed could not be investigated; after all, a secret realm was a small world operating independently, and although the rules inside were imperfect, it was not in the same space as reality, so for the system to investigate, it first had to feel its way into the entrance.

'Jin Jue City has quite a few secret realms, though not as many as Qingchuan Secret Realm,' but the specific quantity still led the other cities.

The system recalled its surveillance over these many days, thinking no wonder it hadn't discovered suspicious points; if the mother body of the parasites really wanted to hide in a secret realm to do bad things, it would be strange if it could discover it!

Shen Yao raised her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, letting the system not be so panicked; originally she hadn't really expected the system to see anything, it was just a casual arrangement, but if Jin Jue City really had no problems discovered, then it just happened to prove that Jin Jue City's problems were very big.

Tsk

Troublesome!

Shen Yao raised her hand and rubbed her face, and by the way let the system continue watching Jin Jue City if it had nothing to do; they had another day or two on the road, and could just take advantage of the system's light to first understand the situation of Jin Jue City.

'Entering Jin Jue City, first one needs an identity plaque, second one needs sufficient guarantee proof of safety, and lastly one needs to pay a huge amount of spirit jade.'

Because Jin Jue City did not lack money, it would not be greedy; sometimes, spirit jade could indeed avoid many problems, such as inside Jin Jue City being either rich or noble, even those who came hoping to make a fortune all had their misgivings.

Lu Yan did not lack spirit jade, and besides, many things on the carriage could be sold at sky-high prices in Jin Jue City.

After all, every place had its own specialty products; Jin Jue City to the west did not lack jade stones, and any spirit resources related to jade stones could be bought, but some spirit resources from the south were rarely seen in Jin Jue City.

Among the many carriages Lu Yan brought, some were for presenting gifts, and some were kept as backup, in case the price of spirit resources bought was not enough, the backup items could be used as collateral.

'The City Lord of Jin Jue City is of the Jin Yu Shu Clan, and since the city was built, there have been many wild exotic beasts.'

'When we go there, we must pay more attention, to avoid conflict with these wild exotic beasts.'

Because after all, the Jin Yu Shu still had beast nature occupying the upper hand, and conflicts between the two sides leaned toward exotic beasts; although Jin Jue City still had other humans maintaining stability, overall this place was more suitable for exotic beasts to survive.

When Lu Yan had learned about Jin Jue City from a travelogue before, he didn't believe it, but now looking at the difficulties he had encountered all the way on his journey, he had to redefine Jin Jue City; that place really was very different from other cities.

Shen Yao nodded obediently, leaning her body against Lu Yan's embrace, raising her hand to idly play with Lu Yan's long hair hanging down, 'How long will we stay in Jin Jue City this time?'

Lu Yan pondered for a moment, 'Depends on the situation of the Blaze Lion.'

If the search for relevant spirit resources went smoothly, the Blaze Lion's improvement could happen on the road leaving; from Jin Jue City rushing to Floating City was far safer than from Lian Tang City coming to Jin Jue City.

If the search for relevant spirit resources went not smoothly, they could only spend more time in Jin Jue City, unable to leave for at least three months.

Shen Yao sighed, 'Alright, hope Xiao Huo's luck can be better.'

Jin Jue City was not a place for long stay; it might become the second Shanglu City, and Shen Yao did not want a good thing to become a mess.

…………

It proved that the Blaze Lion's luck was indeed better than the Swift Wind Wolf's, but not by much.

When the tall and magnificent city appeared in everyone's sight, the originally suppressed car fleet burst into strong cheers one after another.

Not easy, everyone after thousands of hardships finally arrived at Jin Jue City.

Lu Yan had everyone first find a place to stop and tidy themselves up before entering the city; besides, the time was still early.

'The Jin Yu Shu love jade stones, love cleanliness and tidiness,' dressing up could to a certain extent avoid trouble.

Lu Yan and Shen Yao used the carriage to cover and change into a set of clothes outlined with gold and silver threads; the cuffs and collar had beautiful patterns, and the hem of the clothes was engraved with a cleaning array, automatically cleaning the dirt stuck on.

The requirements were the same as other cities; the only difference was that Jin Jue City's entry procedures were more expensive, and they also had to deal with the Jin Yu Shu's making things difficult.

Shen Yao looked at the round big mouse, not even as high as her knee, with a layer of beautiful gold and jade color all over its body, emitting a bright jade-white light, and felt very surprised.

Ah?

This was the Jin Yu Shu?

The little thing was actually quite cute, looking somewhat like a fat version of a fluffy toy.

Shen Yao was somewhat itching to move, but unfortunately this Jin Yu Shu was very vigilant, a pair of round grape eyes always staring at Shen Yao's hand, not giving Shen Yao a suitable opportunity to ruá.

Shen Yao:...

The Blaze Lion had to shrink and nestle in Shen Yao's embrace to serve as a furry thing; Shen Yao followed beside Lu Yan, quietly complaining that the Jin Yu Shu were so cute, yet there were no female cultivators contracting them.

Not all cultivators were like Lu Yan, single-mindedly for combat strength; many female cultivators or cultivators with low talent contracted beasts for companionship.

The contracted beasts they chose had little ability, but were cute in appearance and honest in temperament.

The Jin Yu Shu had a cute round appearance and special jade-exploring ability; whether inside Jin Jue City or outside Jin Jue City, there were few contracted Jin Yu Shu.

Lu Yan smiled and shook his head, 'The Jin Yu Shu's reproductive ability is not strong, and besides, the City Lord of Jin Jue City is the greatest ancestor of the Jin Yu Shu Clan; it disliked restraint from childhood, so these Jin Yu Shu brought out by it were also unwilling to contract with humans.'

Contracts were arranged based on the principle of voluntary agreement from both parties; once one party was unwilling, the contract would go wrong, the most serious being backlash on both sides, harming others without benefiting oneself.

The Jin Yu Shu Clan had few members, and with the ancestor suppressing the situation, naturally few people contracted them; besides, Jin Jue City could be considered the base camp of the Jin Yu Shu, and even if there were contracted Jin Yu Shu, they would not dare bring their contracted mice swaggering to Jin Jue City; after all, dissolving a contract here was very easy, just needing the Jin Yu Shu's ancestor to pinch a curse.

Shen Yao:...

Originally so; she had thought too shallowly, only considering the advantages of the Jin Yu Shu while ignoring the powerful backing behind the Jin Yu Shu.

It seems those exotic beasts and humans are much the same — those with background receive preferential treatment wherever they go.

Jin Jue City appears glittering and magnificent on the outside, but its internal situation is the same tune; because jade is not lacking here, some buildings embed pieces for decoration, making the entire city stand out strikingly in the desert.

Shen Yao and Lu Yan went first to find lodging; considering their departure time was uncertain, Lu Yan generously rented a large manor. The manor's area was very large, able to accommodate their group and carriages, and also satisfy the upcoming spirit resource purchases.

Looking at the spirit jade taken out — many times more than other cities — Shen Yao finally personally experienced Jin Jue City's overwhelming wealth.

No wonder Jin Jue City has so many forces; compared to it, Shanglu City is a case of the small wizard seeing the great wizard.

Arranging the accompanying servants to go clean the small courtyard first, Shen Yao walked a circle around the manor, finally stopping before a not-too-high courtyard wall.

"There's a bloody smell next door," someone died.

The System, hearing this, spared a glance: "Host, it's a servant."

Offended the master and was beaten until flesh and blood were blurred.

"The people living on this side are mostly here for the jade mine." The manor they rented is in the south city, where commerce is bustling and stalls numerous.

Inside Jin Jue City, the city center is the Jin Yu Shu Clan's private reserve; the east city is the Four Great Clans' back garden; the south city is Jin Jue City's storefront, where traveling merchants all lodge; the north city is the residence of Jin Jue City's local residents; and the west city is a mixed bag where everything exists.

"Host, what they want to do, we have no right to interfere."

Even if they really act, it can only be their own internal problem; not to mention a servant beaten until flesh and blood are blurred, even if the person themself leaves no bones, as long as it doesn't happen inside the city there won't be any trouble.

Speaking carefully, surviving in this kind of world, an ordinary person's space is simply pitifully narrow.

"No no no, I'm not wanting to interfere, I just suddenly thought of the parasite.

The mother body and child body communicate; the mother body needs nutrition — go watch the west city closely, there will definitely be findings."

Jin Jue City's west city is the most chaotic; there, a person or beast dying daily draws no attention — it's the best source for materials.

"Also watch the east city's four families' rear courtyards and inner courtyards closely — high probability it's one of these four families."

System: ……

Fine then.

Whatever Host says goes; the System does not rebut, only acts as required.

Lu Yan walked over and called Shen Yao to leave; the servants had already cleaned the small courtyard properly. They had been on the road this long time, they could rest first.

"Rest? They're already in the city?"

"Replying to Master, at a manor in the south city; subordinates have already arranged manpower to watch the surroundings."

"Because Master did not require action, subordinate dared not issue any orders."

The hooded man turned back to look at the subordinate kneeling before him, nodded in satisfaction: "Good, no need to interfere, let them adapt first.

Now Jin Jue City is entirely in our control; this seat can take revenge whenever this seat wants."

Merely the enemy's child; although Mu Rong once brought him great trouble, even nearly causing the Puppet Vine to betray its master, everything is already past — now, he will return once more!

…………

"Miss, look at this string of jade bead string — it's City Lord's Mansion produce."

"Take a look, top-grade emerald crystal, made into a hairpin it's fireproof and heat-insulating, only one hundred spirit jade."

"Esteemed guests, this small shop operates sincerely; you can't lose by buying, can't be cheated by buying — the whole stall for just fifty spirit jade, excellent value."

"……"

Jin Jue City's commercial street is quite interesting; not only do all shops have to hawk vigorously, even the small stalls at the doorways each display their special skills.

Shen Yao took advantage of Lu Yan having nothing to do to pull him out shopping; result: she didn't want the spirit jade she brought to be this not-durable-against-spending — she wanted to buy quite a few things to take home.

Lu Yan: ……

Lu Yan could only arrange servants to go back and fetch more, himself taking Shen Yao to find a restaurant to rest first, to prevent over-enjoyment exhausting himself.

"Oh? Just these?" Could it be he's afraid she'll spend money lavishly, even the spirit resources separately prepared for the Flaming Lion getting spent?

Lu Yan took out a handkerchief and lightly wiped Shen Yao's temple; just about to speak saying the Flaming Lion's spirit resources are easy to find, then he saw the originally well-behaved Flaming Lion in Shen Yao's arms suddenly go on alert wanting to attack.

"Roar!"

Tiny body containing huge energy, the Flaming Lion pulled its little mouth wide, scorching energy continuously gathering, target precisely a female cultivator at the doorway.

The originally lively restaurant scene suddenly froze; many people had no choice but to fix their gazes on both sides, until the restaurant owner ran over to intervene.

Shen Yao seemingly unaware raised a hand to stroke the Flaming Lion's bristled fur, soothing it on and off.

"Shopkeeper, I need an explanation," Lu Yan's gaze coldly regarded the thing in the female cultivator's arms, "Wild exotic beasts may not actively attack people — this clearly violates the City Lord's Mansion's regulations."

Although the City Lord's Mansion has always favored wild exotic beasts and plants, some explicit regulations still must be observed.

For example: wild exotic beasts appearing in Jin Jue City is allowed, entering shops and restaurants is also no problem, but wild exotic beasts cannot actively attack others; once discovered they will be temporarily expelled from Jin Jue City; repeated offenses will be permanently banned from entering Jin Jue City.

Very obviously, the exotic beast in the female cultivator's arms is wild, and has not signed a contract with her; and the exotic beast the moment it entered the hotel attacked Shen Yao, which provoked the Flaming Lion lying in Shen Yao's arms.

Lu Yan opening his mouth to demand an accounting directly made the female cultivator holding the wild exotic beast lose face.

She raised her head to look at her companion beside her, while hugging the wild exotic beast in her arms tighter, clearly unwilling to hand it over, even more unwilling to admit it.

"Can this brother spare a step to speak?" The companion had to humble himself to beg for leniency.

Lu Yan: ……

"You'd best throw it out; wild exotic beasts cannot be tamed," moreover the female cultivator lacks the contract ability — at any moment she could be bitten back by the wild exotic beast.

Words end here; Lu Yan isn't these people's elder, has no patience to admonish much.

Leading Shen Yao away first; by the time they returned home, Lu Yan was still somewhat displeased.

Lu Yan puzzled: "Why not report to the City Lord's Mansion?" Even if the other party originates from the Shen Zhou Sima Clan, they wouldn't dare openly violate the City Lord's Mansion's rules.

Shen Yao smiled shaking the Flaming Lion in her arms: "Reporting to the City Lord's Mansion easily startles the snake; that wild exotic beast has some problem."

Its attack on her was more like a reminder — only the Flaming Lion didn't know, and directly on seeing the situation instinctively struck back.

"Sima Clan, has a problem."

The parasite matter — they can't be uninvolved!
