Of course, it wasn't as if every fight was guaranteed to result in death.
During this time, they had encountered several fights where no one died; at most, they were beaten half to death.
The cultivators of Ge City were truly embodying the essence of simple and honest folk with their lives!
Soon, they arrived at the exchange.
Recalling the previous mission posted by the Holy Land, Ye Fan didn't dare to hold out much hope.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan rubbed his sore head and shot a glance at the little demoness, the culprit.
"What's wrong?" the little demoness asked, puzzled.
"Nothing, let's go."
After walking a few steps, a building next to the exchange caught Ye Fan's eye.
A beautiful woman stood at the entrance on the first floor, enthusiastically greeting the customers who came and went.
Through the open door, one could see quite a few scantily clad young ladies in the lobby.
Coupled with the plaque bearing the words 'Chun Man Ge' above the entrance…
Could it be a place for cultivators to celebrate after a successful transaction?
Ge City's layout was truly thoughtful…
"Fellow Daoist, are you tempted?" a cultivator sidled up and whispered, "But before you enter, please think twice."
"What do you mean?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
"Our Ge City's brothels are no ordinary places," the man said mysteriously. "If you don't have some strength, it's best not to go. If you're unlucky, you might be robbed of your money, or worse, lose your spiritual roots or even your life."
"That brutal?!" Ye Fan was utterly dumbfounded.
"Of course, the quality of your women is worth the risk, hehe." The cultivator chuckled lewdly.
Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh again.
As expected of a place with such honest folk!
An activity as beloved as passing down knowledge and skills was turned into a high-risk adventure…
After sighing, Ye Fan looked at the man with a puzzled expression.
Given Ge City's penchant for everything being about money, this man had no reason to kindly warn him, right?
After all, kindness should have gone extinct in Ge City.
"You two are new, aren't you?" the man grinned and pulled out a stack of papers. "The most comprehensive map of Ge City on the market, want a copy?"
Ye Fan: …
As expected, I was too naive…
Taking a copy of the map and glancing at it, Ye Fan nodded inwardly.
The map was quite detailed.
It not only had the complete layout of Ge City but also thoughtfully marked some precautions.
For example, which areas were safer and one didn't have to worry about being caught in the crossfire and falling apart at any moment.
Ye Fan paid for a copy without hesitation.
If the map was genuine, it would be very helpful for his upcoming journey.
If it was fake, it didn't matter, it was only ten low-grade spirit stones.
"Ye Fan, let's hurry," the little demoness urged after the cultivator left.
"Is there something urgent?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled.
"What's so interesting about those mediocre women," the little demoness said while pulling Ye Fan towards the exchange, "If you really want it, I can do it anytime."
"Slap."
Ye Fan immediately flicked her on the head.
This female hooligan was still up to no good!
Inside the exchange.
While queuing, Ye Fan noticed something interesting. Da Feng Novel Network.
These honest cultivators were restless even while queuing, constantly glaring at each other.
However, they seemed to not dare to fight in the exchange, merely engaging in verbal sparring.
It seemed the exchange's background was not simple either.
The process of posting the mission went smoothly.
After paying the handling fee, Ye Fan left a drawing of the jade pendant.
When they left the exchange, the sun was already setting.
Ye Fan glanced at the map and walked towards a nearby inn.
According to the map, this inn was one of the relatively safer ones.
Moreover, its soundproofing was excellent, so there was no need to worry about being woken up by the sounds of fighting in the streets while sleeping.
Of course, the price was not cheap.
As it turned out, the cultivator's map was quite reliable.
The guests here were clearly less irritable, and any conflicts were resolved with polite conversation.
For instance, when a cultivator accidentally bumped into someone eating nearby while walking.
"Are you blind, you bastard?"
"I'm not blind, I just can't see things other than people!"
"Damn it, say that again?!"
"I can say it a hundred more times, what? You want to hear it?"
"You've got guts, kid!"
"Don't worry, it's not you."
"I'll be damned… meet me outside later, whoever doesn't show up is a grandson!"
"Okay, good grandson, Grandpa understands."
…
See, what a harmonious scene.
At least they didn't resort to physical violence on the spot, right?
Before long, the food was served.
This time, there was no forced buying or selling.
Perhaps the portions of forced buying and selling were already included in the exorbitant fees…
While eating, the little demoness started complaining again.
She constantly found the food disgusting and refused to eat any of it.
Ye Fan took a few bites and decisively put down his chopsticks.
The little demoness was right.
It was truly unpalatable…
Ye Fan felt that even if they fed it to a dog, it wouldn't be any worse…
Although Ye Fan was not a picky eater, it didn't mean he could tolerate such anti-human food…
Helplessly, Ye Fan took the little demoness back to their room to prepare their own meal.
Inside a mansion next to the exchange.
Several servants ran around with brooms.
Their target was a valiant rooster.
"You pathetic weaklings, stop wasting your effort!" the rooster taunted as it ran, "Trying to catch up with Brother Chicken? In your next life!"
It not only taunted verbally but even jumped up to grab the servants' clothes and hats.
It would even stand on their necks and relieve itself with a warm stream…
"Woof woof woof!"
A large dog burst out and barked furiously at the rooster.
"You stupid dog, bite me if you dare!" the rooster continued to taunt.
"Woof!"
The dog arched its body and lunged forward!
"What the hell, this is for real?!" The rooster was startled and immediately flew onto the wall.
The dog tried several times but couldn't jump up.
It could only continue to bark furiously at the rooster.
"Woof woof woof!"
Just then, a woman walked over.
"Get lost!" the woman shouted with red eyes, "Immediately! Now!"
A few days ago, she had accidentally encountered this rooster outside the city.
Seeing that it could speak human language despite being only at the Foundation Establishment stage, she found it amusing and brought it back.
Then, her nightmare began…
She never expected this chicken to be a pervert!
Stealing the women's clothes!
Peeking at the women bathing!
It would even sneak into their beds at night, and once inside, it wouldn't behave!
If it were just an ordinary demonic beast, it would be fine, but the problem was that this thing could speak human words…
In just a few days, the entire mansion had been thrown into chaos by it.
"Miss A Ying," the rooster sighed at the woman, "I never expected my sincere affection to be met with your harsh words. My heart aches so much…"
As it spoke, it even rubbed its chest with its wing…
"I'll count to three!" A Ying waved her hand, and a nearby servant revealed a goshawk on his arm, "If you don't leave now, I won't be polite!"
