Chapter 1298: Demon Realm Market

Xiao Han turned back to look at the others, seeing that they had all stood up; after scanning the crowd, his gaze finally stopped on Ning Chen: "The Demon Realm is quite different from here."

"Don't worry, they will be fine," Ning Chen replied calmly.

Seeing this, Xiao Han nodded, said nothing, and turned to walk outside.

Hongxiu understood that this meant Xiao Han agreed to let the group follow.

The group reached the top floor, where there was a dedicated room; this should be a Miss's room, inside it was neat and spotless.

"Everyone hold hands with each other; do not let go for a while, otherwise you might be teleported to different places in the Demon Realm." Hongxiu formed a seal with both hands, and a huge formation appeared beneath everyone's feet.

On Ning Chen's left was Xiao Han, on his right was Gu Yanqi, with Little Qiongqi crawling on Gu Yanqi's body; next to Gu Yanqi was Lin Yi, and further over was Facing Huo Jinglin, then Xu Chenchen, and back to Xiao Han.

The few of them thus formed a circle, with Hongxiu in their center.

The light from the formation beneath their feet grew brighter and brighter, so bright that it made it hard to keep one's eyes open.

When the light gradually faded, they had arrived in an unfamiliar place.

This place looked like night, yet the surroundings could be seen clearly; how to describe this? It felt like having night vision in the dark.

Ning Chen glanced at the group, and only after ensuring no one had let go and gotten lost here did he look at Xiao Han to ask where to go next.

"Where is the direction of the Demon-Suppressing Tower?" Xiao Han asked Hongxiu.

Although he had stayed in the Demon Realm for quite some time back then, he hadn't had time to explore many things before leaving the Demon Realm, not to mention he hadn't returned for several years.

Hongxiu looked around, then pointed to the right: "Over there, though it's a bit of a distance."

Xiao Han nodded, lifted his foot, and walked in that direction.

Gu Yanqi curiously stepped on the ground; to be honest, this Demon Realm was quite different from what she had imagined.

She had originally thought that in this place called the Demon Realm, the surroundings might be filled with various wandering souls or various soldiers of the Demon Realm, and the area might be extremely chaotic.

But now it seemed, apart from being rather dark, this Demon Realm looked quite cozy.

The ground beneath their feet was soft and yielding; stepping on it felt comfortable for the feet, like giving one's feet a massage, while around there were many black butterflies emitting light, and even flowers of various shapes lined the road.

And the entire surroundings looked very quiet; there were simply no wandering souls loitering around.

"Why does this Demon Realm feel different from what I imagined?" Lin Yi voiced what Gu Yanqi was thinking.

Gu Yanqi nodded in agreement.

Perhaps influenced by some stories heard from childhood to adulthood, Ning Chen also felt this place was quite different from his imagination.

Hongxiu said with a smile: "Of course it's different from what you imagine; people are always afraid of the unknown. Actually, apart from being rather dark, everything else in the Demon Realm is quite good, and many of the common people here are very kind."

"Common people?" Gu Yanqi looked at Hongxiu curiously.

"In a while you can go see for yourselves; we will pass by the largest market here in a moment. Oh, by the way, you can also buy some things; the money in your hands is universal currency and can be used here as well."

Upon hearing "buy things," Lin Yi and Gu Yanqi's eyes immediately lit up.

And Facing Huo Jinglin, who had experienced the two of them running around blindly, had only one feeling: mental exhaustion.

The group hadn't walked long before they heard noise and clamor ahead, along with various shouting voices; it sounded exceptionally lively.

Just as Lin Yi and Gu Yanqi were about to rush forward, Ning Chen stopped each of them with one hand.

The two turned around simultaneously, and upon seeing that the person blocking them was Ning Chen, they immediately gave up.

Ning Chen said nothing, but the warning in his eyes made the two obediently stand behind Ning Chen.

Seeing this, originally... 【text appears corrupted/spam】

"Daily updates, hundreds of books, free book search, irregular new releases..." Facing Huo Jinglin, who was already ready to take off, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, it still takes Brother Ning to handle things.

The more the few walked, the more they could see the situation of the market ahead; the entire market lay along this road, looking extremely long, so that even at a glance, one could not see the end of the market.

As soon as the few arrived, they immediately attracted the attention of all the stall owners, who began shouting at them and introducing their own goods.

Lin Yi and Gu Yanqi were already itching inside; they looked pitifully at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen sighed; he truly had no way with these two: "Do not run too far."

Having received Ning Chen's permission, the two immediately paired up to go buy, buy, buy at various stalls, while Facing Huo Jinglin could only accept his fate and follow along; fortunately, this time Xu Chenchen was with them, otherwise watching two people alone would truly be troublesome.

The market here was indeed similar to those outside, except the things sold were different.

The common people here also wore clothes the same as outside, except their skin had various dark patterns, which should be proof that they were people of the Demon Realm.

"Got it!" Hongxiu suddenly left Xiao Han's side and ran to a stall ahead.

Ning Chen and Xiao Han exchanged a glance, and the two followed her.

They saw that the stall where Hongxiu stopped was a mask stall; she carefully looked at the masks on the stall, finally chose a black one with gilded patterns, and handed it to Xiao Han.

"Your mask is too ugly; quickly put this one on and see."

It must be said that the mask Hongxiu chose was indeed several times better-looking than the one Xiao Han had bought before.

Xiao Han took off his original mask, accepted the new one, and put it on his face.

Hongxiu nodded in satisfaction; this was more like it. With Xiao Han's looks, he should be matched with this kind of mask; how could that mask be so ugly?

The vendor nearby also spoke up: "Miss's taste is indeed very good; this mask really suits your friend."

Hongxiu was very happy; she directly bought masks for Ning Chen and the others too, which made the vendor extremely delighted.

After buying the masks, Hongxiu saw that Xiao Han was still holding his original mask, so she placed all the newly bought masks in his hand, took the original mask from Xiao Han's hand, and then tossed it to the vendor: "Dispose of it."

They continued moving forward; Ning Chen kept a close watch on Gu Yanqi and the others' movements. Fortunately, the few seemed to remember his words, and the distance they kept remained within his line of sight.

On this side, Gu Yanqi and Lin Yi had gone mad buying; there were too many things here they had never seen, and the food was also very delicious; the two were almost eating while buying things.

Seeing the two buy so much, the vendors nearby smiled and shouted at them, wanting the two to come buy from their stalls.

The two only thought about returning to Ning Chen's side when they felt they could no longer buy anything.
