Chapter 1660 - 1662: Local Man Niu

~6 min read 1,161 words

"Brother Ye, look, look, wow, such tall buildings, so big, so huge! Why are the buildings here so big?"

At this time, Ye Luo and Man Niu had already arrived at the Royal City.

If Ye Luo, Man Niu, and the leader of the Barbaric Beast were put together in the Great Tang Empire, it would definitely be a very rare combination, so it’s not surprising to attract attention!

However, in the Da Yue Empire, this would be quite a common sight and really not worth anyone’s attention, but now, thanks to Man Niu’s words, Ye Luo was being side-eyed all the way here!

To be honest, Ye Luo even felt a bit embarrassed...

Seriously, these buildings are called big?

What would it be called if Man Niu saw those skyscrapers in the Great Tang?

But Ye Luo couldn’t get mad at Man Niu, because even if Ye Luo did get mad, it would do no good. Man Niu knew Ye Luo wouldn’t really get angry, so he never took Ye Luo’s words seriously.

To put it simply, Man Niu had figured Ye Luo out!

"Ah, Brother Niu, people with money naturally build bigger houses..."

"Oh, is that so? Huh, Ye Luo, Ye Luo, look, look, they have their lights on during the day. I know this; it’s called electric lights, very impressive. They can glow at night without fire. My grandpa has something called a desk lamp, but he cherishes it so much that I’m not allowed to touch it!"

...

"Wow, Ye Luo, Ye Luo, they’re so wealthy, having so many lights on during the day!"

"Wow, Ye Luo, Ye Luo, there’s a demon, be careful, quickly get behind me, Old Bull!"

Suddenly, as Man Niu was curiously observing his surroundings, he became extremely vigilant, even grabbing his gigantic axe that was mostly for show, ready to attack!

Ye Luo had become numb to it. Talking about Man Niu, with that look of his, he seemed more like a demon. But what did he see to call others demons?

Raising his head helplessly, Ye Luo was puzzled because he saw a group of mechanical puppets!

Mechanical puppets were relatively common in the Great Tang Empire, and it wasn’t unusual to find them in human cities.

But in the Da Yue Empire, on the Demon Clan’s territory, due to different beliefs, even among the Demon Clan nobility, no one fiddled with such things. For them, it would be better to tame a demon beast if they wanted puppets!

So, the sudden appearance of mechanical puppets was definitely something Man Niu had never seen or heard of before. It was quite normal for him to call them demons.

Ye Luo frowned slightly. The appearance of mechanical puppets here was indeed somewhat unexpected.

"Brother Niu, that’s not a demon, it’s a mechanical puppet, something from the human realm, probably someone brought it to our Da Yue, so don’t be so startled..."

Ye Luo replied in a low voice, then continued to lead Man Niu towards the Royal Palace.

In Ye Luo’s heart, he didn’t want to provoke any trouble. Getting to the Royal Palace quickly and arranging for someone to educate Man Niu on basic knowledge was the real task at hand.

However, sometimes, some people just love to stir up trouble, especially when someone behaves like Man Niu, which naturally attracts attention, and even more so draws those who are full of themselves!

At this moment, Ye Luo heard a laugh, a brazen laugh!

"Wow, haha, I’m dying of laughter. Look, you guys, I wasn’t lying, was I? This is just a fool!"

"Haha, Brother Ping, that’s not right. You should say he’s a country bumpkin, not exactly a fool!"

Another voice responded, and when Ye Luo turned to look, he saw several people in the distance pointing and talking about Ye Luo and Man Niu!

Among them, one person had a head like a weasel, but with an extremely long tail, and his body was covered in black scales, a truly ugly sight from Ye Luo’s perspective.

And the one calling Man Niu a fool was this guy.

Ye Luo frowned slightly, but he wasn’t intending to stir up trouble, so he just glanced at them and was ready to leave with Man Niu.

But little did he know, that one glance brought more trouble.

"What are you looking at? Yes, I’m talking to you, hey, country bumpkin, where are you from?"

To be honest, if this guy had spoken to Ye Luo nicely, Ye Luo wouldn’t have minded answering his question, after all, Ye Luo wasn’t too aloof.

But with such a disdainful tone, just hearing it was annoying. How could Ye Luo possibly pay attention to them?

It could be said that Ye Luo was already somewhat displeased with them in his heart.

However, these guys had yet to pick up on Ye Luo’s vibe and didn’t really care about him. In their eyes, the one who interested them most was Man Niu, as they thought he was silly and rustic, naturally planning to gain confidence by picking on Man Niu.

Finding it fun means bullying; that’s a rascal’s thought.

Although the weasel had said a few things about Ye Luo, his gaze soon shifted to Man Niu.

"Hey, that guy, look, what’s this?"

Saying this, the person revealed a fruit emitting a tri-colored glow in his hand!

No, not a fruit, it should more accurately be described as something akin to an elixir.

However, it wasn’t anything good but a prank tool used by some people.

The effect of this elixir, after consumption, causes the person to lose control of their body, leading to various embarrassing actions.

Much like intoxicants on Earth.

The Da Yue Empire lacked legal constraints, and something that would absolutely be banned in the Great Tang was openly brought out in Da Yue.

At this moment, Man Niu’s eyes were filled with curiosity. The simple-minded Man Niu never perceived people as too malicious, only simply thought the world wasn’t that evil, so now, Man Niu was curiously watching that person.

"Wow, such a pretty fruit, are you giving it to me to eat?"

"Haha, of course, of course, it’s for you to eat, here, take it!"

The weasel’s eyes were filled with laughter, his malice evident to all.

Even some bystanders felt uncomfortable and were pointing at the scene!

But clearly, the weasel had a special status, so none of the onlookers dared to intervene.

In both Da Yue and the Great Tang, one similarity was that the Royal Cities house countless powerful families!

Da Yue’s powerful families might not wield as much power as the nobility of the Great Tang, but Da Yue was definitely more brutal and realistic compared to the Great Tang. This weasel was obviously some young clan leader of the weasel clan, so his status was certainly extraordinary, as evidenced by the surrounding people who centered around him.
