Chapter 1658: Chapter 1658 To Get Information
Ye Liuyun suddenly remembered that his Concealcape was still broken.
He might as well take this opportunity to have Qiong Qi repair it.
Lei Ming and Ye Liuyun waited a bit longer, but they still saw no signs of human martial practitioners.
It could be due to the small size of the village up ahead, or perhaps there simply weren’t any.
"Let’s not wait any longer and check out the village up ahead!" Ye Liuyun finally didn’t want to waste more time.
"Okay!" Lei Ming agreed.
The people in this village did not have high realms. Even the strongest martial practitioners were only in the Yin-yang Realm who were part of the Devil Clan. They could be easily handled.
However, the Devil Clan here were not overly surprised when they saw them. They just felt that they looked unfamiliar and took a few more glances at them.
Many of them even dared not make eye contact, as if they were afraid of them.
In order to grasp the situation, Ye Liuyun found a place that looked like a tavern and let Lei Ming go in to gather some information.
While Lei Ming was seriously going over the menu, Ye Liuyun was chatting with the waiter, asking him why he wasn’t surprised to see them.
The waiter, meanwhile, treated them with a great deal of respect, "Honored guests, although there are no noble humans in our little place, we often have human visitors who come to hunt feral beasts. That’s why we aren’t surprised to see you."
"What do you mean, humans are nobles? Are they very noble?" Ye Liuyun asked in puzzlement.
"Isn’t here the Devil Clan’s territory?" Ye Liuyun was guessing in his mind.
The waiter scratched his big, bull-like head in confusion and said hesitantly, "Of course the human race is more noble than us low-class people! Honoured guests, you mustn’t be joking with me! I am just an honest underling. I haven’t done anything wrong!"
The waiter became worried as he talked as if he was afraid that Ye Liuyun would punish him.
At this point, the shop owner hurried over and began to plead on behalf of his underling, "Honoured guests, please do not take offence at this foolish person. All expenses for your meal today will be waived on my account as my apology to both of you!"
Ye Liuyun had been fretting about how he was going to pay the bill. When he saw the owner offer this solution, he also worried about revealing himself, so he simply gestured dismissively, allowing the owner to leave.
Lei Ming, seeing the situation, showed no restraint and ordered a lot of things. The look on the owner’s face eventually turned grimmer, yet he dared not say anything and quickly arranged for people to prepare for their meal.
"Is the status of humans here higher than that of the Devil Clan? That’s strange, isn’t this the Devil Clan’s territory?" Lei Ming asked Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun replied by transmitting a message, "Their expressions certainly say so! Let’s find an opportunity to search someone’s soul and get some information."
"Waiter, get us the bill!" A hefty-voiced Devil Clan called out at that moment.
Ye Liuyun intentionally looked over and saw that he was using Devil Crystal to pay.
"They’re using Devil Crystal to pay! Do you have any left?" Ye Liuyun asked.
He had previously given all the Devil Crystal to Lei Ming for his cultivation.
"I have quite a few left. I dug up a number of them from a mineral vein in the Devil Lord Sect before coming here!" Lei Ming transmitted a message back.
Ye Liuyun was reassured. As long as they had money, they wouldn’t need to worry about how much they ate.
Soon, the food was served. While Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming were enjoying their meal, a tall Devil Clan dressed in armor came in with two soldiers.
The Devil Clan captain had a hulking figure with a square face, dark skin and big ears. His aura was full of Devil Qi and his hands were like beast claws coated in long hairs.
"Who is causing trouble here?" As soon as the Devil Clan captain entered, he shouted loudly, trying to intimidate those present.
"Captain! You’re finally here!"
The shop owner immediately went up to greet him and whispered to the Devil Clan captain, "Two humans came and they’re trying to dine and dash!"
The Devil Clan captain gave a glance at Ye Liuyun and his companions with an apparent look of distress. Then he summoned his attendant to inquire about the situation in detail.
Afterwards, he walked over and gave a cupped fist salute to Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming, "My dear noble friends, sorry for the disturbance. The shop owner here is not very articulate, which may have caused you some annoyance. I apologize on his behalf.
However, this shop is owned by our military commander. If you do not pay the bill, the owner and the attendants can’t afford the loss.
Maybe I could help by cutting today’s bill in half. I would appreciate it if you would accommodate me, and at least cover the cost of the food, so that I could settle this better. What do you say?"
Seeing him speak courteously, Ye Liuyun also replied, "We initially didn’t have any intentions of not paying the bill. You relax, I won’t underpay, and there’s no need for the discount." ƒreewebɳovel.com
The Devil Clan captain laughed upon hearing these words.
"That’s great! It turned out that it was just a misunderstanding! I knew that people of your status wouldn’t dine and dash!"
After saying this, the Devil Clan captain glared at the shop owner, blaming him for not understanding the situation and embarrassing him.
"Why aren’t you serving more dishes for these two guests as an apology?" The Devil Clan captain berated the shop owner.
Since Ye Liuyun had already stated that there was no need for a discount, it wouldn’t cause any loss for the shop owner to serve an additional dish.
"No worries, it’s just a misunderstanding," Ye Liuyun said dismissively.
"Then I won’t interrupt your meal anymore! Please enjoy!"
The Devil Clan captain, with a smile on his face, immediately left with his soldiers after speaking a few kind words.
Since Ye Liuyun had agreed to pay the bill, he didn’t need to stay here any longer. In fact, even if Ye Liuyun didn’t want to pay, he couldn’t do anything to Ye Liuyun.
After the Devil Clan captain left, Ye Liuyun, seizing the opportunity when the shop owner was replenishing his food, directly initiated a soul search on him and gathered a lot of information about this world.
It turned out that this place was a world jointly established by human devil cultivators and several Devil Clans. They even divided all the people into a few grades.
Therefore, these human devil cultivators and those few Devil Clans that established this world had become the nobility here. Furthermore, their scale and power were the strongest. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Others, like the tiger-headed Devil Clan captain just now, were middle-class individuals, eligible to join the army or engage in commerce, thus possessing a slightly more noble status than the lower-class populace.
As for the shop owner, he was just an ordinary civilian member of this world, while the shop assistants were of the lowest class.
The flame that Ye Liuyun needed was known as the Lunar Sacred Fire. It was located in the largest human city, known as the Holy City of the Human Clan. It was guarded by the Human Clan.
Moreover, the Human Clan were divided into different factions, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Stealing that flame source would not be easy. The flame source had been regarded as the sacred fire of this world. If he took it by force, he might face the attack of all the Human Clan and Devil Clan here.
After Ye Liuyun got some basic information, he let the shop owner go.
At this moment, the shop owner was almost scared to pee in his pants. He thought he was going to become an idiot.
"You don’t need to worry, I just wanted to ask for directions and acquire some information. I won’t damage your Ocean of Consciousness! The cost of the food won’t be underpaid.
However, if you make me upset again, I won’t let you go!"
Ye Liuyun, fearing that he would blow his cover, threatened him a bit.
