Free Web NovelChapter 1663: Chapter 1665: Mount
Lu Xiaobu’s questioning finally ended. After agreeing that if Lu Xiaobu succeeded, he could come back for the seeds, he left.
Lu Xiaobu left, while Sao Bao surprisingly scratched his head, "What happened to me today? Why did I say so much to Lu Xiaobu?"
He was puzzled, originally he didn’t plan to speak so much or be so detailed, yet unknowingly, he said it all.
Then, he shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it, "Never mind, completing the most important thing is all that matters."
However, what he didn’t know was that Lu Xiaobu laughed as soon as he walked out the door.
He was laughing at the three attributes — charm, dignity, intelligence — and the luck aura activated in the system.
That Sao Bao wouldn’t speak so much without reason, it was all because of these attributes.
Back in the Heavenly Dynasty, activating both the charm and dignity attributes simultaneously could influence people’s behavior and even create illusions.
Although cultivators are mentally strong, the effects of these two attributes are no longer that significant, unlike in the Heavenly Dynasty where they could directly change people’s thoughts.
However, guidance is still possible.
Coupled with the intelligence attribute’s enhancement and the activation of the luck aura, it turned Sao Bao into a chatterbox, spilling everything out.
Of course, the main reason was that Sao Bao already had the intention to cooperate with him, which is why he was guided in that direction.
If Sao Bao had been thinking antagonistically, the guidance would have been the opposite.
Lu Xiaobu turned off the luck aura, looked up at the sky, still somewhat unfamiliar to him after being here for so long, and felt a surge of excitement in his heart — seeds, seeds! With these things, he could go home and take a look.
Lin Feng, oh Lin Feng, you go ahead and work hard!
As for me, I still prefer an easy life!
"Catch." Lu Xiaobu took out a few pieces of spirit stone, didn’t bother counting them, and tossed them to Wan Jian and the excited Xiao Rou, who was now free of her collar and hiding her cat ears under a hat, "A reward for you!"
"Thank you, Young Master!" Xiao Rou beamed with joy.
Spirit stones, these are spirit stones!
Wan Jian nodded in acknowledgment, then stepped forward two steps and said in a low voice, "Young Master, I didn’t mean to hide it, but..."
"Alright, I understand, talk about it when there’s time, it doesn’t matter." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand.
He knew Wan Jian was referring to hiding his alien identity.
But, on an island where one gourd’s belly captures aliens as slaves and the other kills them upon discovery, isn’t that quite normal!
He’s still hiding as someone from the Demon Realm, so what’s an alien?
That also explains why on the way here, he’s so knowledgeable about alien affairs.
Of course, it also explains why Wan Jian would leave Hengqin City so decisively without any nostalgia.
I bet he was on edge every day in Hengqin City!
Either getting discovered as an alien or them realizing his cultivation had stalled would likely raise suspicions!
"Thank you for your understanding, Young Master!" Wan Jian said gratefully.
He felt that following Lu Xiaobu was the best decision of his life.
Because he could finally live without constant fear.
Silent, battle-crazed, bloodlust — that was his true nature, yet who’s to say it wasn’t just a mask.
Only by being like this could he avoid saying the wrong thing, doing the wrong thing, and prevent anyone from getting close enough to discover his secret.
But now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief!
At this moment.
"Haha, gotcha, you brat! How dare you hit me?!"
The merchant who was just injured by the slave Lu Xiaobu called out appeared, with several others following him.
Among them were slaves and ordinary cultivators.
The slaves were naturally at the Golden Core Early Stage, while the cultivators were all at the Golden Core Mid Stage, with one in the Golden Core Late Stage.
Clearly, they were here to cause trouble!
The merchant glared at Lu Xiaobu with murderous intent in his eyes, "Yiji Mansion has never suffered such a big loss!"
"Coming here at this time, you must be from the small world!"
"I probably wouldn’t bother with you if everything was peaceful and quiet, but now, hmph!"
"But don’t worry, you won’t die today. I’ll make you my slave! No! No, I’ll make you my mount! Carry me around town every day!"
The work for slaves also differs greatly.
The higher ones are enforcers, the lower ones are beasts of burden.
And below the low is even lower, the most degrading, and the most humiliating is being made into a mount!
Literally being ridden while someone takes a dump!
So some slaves who became mounts would choose suicide, though some can’t even manage that.
Apparently, this merchant wanted to make Lu Xiaobu into one who couldn’t even commit suicide!
Lu Xiaobu glanced at him, "I’m in a good mood today, don’t block the way, or don’t blame me if you lose your life."
At the same time, Wan Jian had already drawn his sword!
Since Lu Xiaobu knew of his identity, he was now openly showing his intent to kill against Yiji Mansion.
He is an alien, and naturally has a deep-seated hatred against Yiji Mansion for enslaving aliens.
"Hahaha!" The merchant suddenly laughed heartily, clutching his stomach and looking around, "Did you hear that? He actually threatened me! Three at the Golden Core Stage, and one is a slave, and they dare threaten me! Hahahaha!"
The people he brought along were either shaking their heads or sneering.
Are these three guys out of their minds?
With everyone at the Golden Core Stage, numbers determine victory or defeat.
Now they’ve been threatened by three people despite their numbers; that’s really laughable if word got out!
One lecherous slave even ogled Xiao Rou and licked his lips, "Master, can you give her to me as a reward?"
Once people surpass a hundred, all kinds emerge!
Most slaves are resentful about being slaves; they’re unwilling and always ready to rebel.
But some are content being slaves.
Clearly, this one is one of them.
He’s a sycophant, utterly shameless, giving him a slightly higher standing in the merchant’s eyes than normal slaves.
"You rascal!" The merchant kicked him but wasn’t angry, "Alright, since this one is destined to die, if you want her, even better. Let those lowlifes see the result of trying to escape!"
"Behave, maybe you’ll catch the eye of a powerful master and live a better life. If you try to escape, you’ll end up serving the slaves!"
That slave was instantly ecstatic, leering at Xiao Rou while expressing gratitude, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master. Your shoes are dirty, let me clean them for you!"
After saying this, he actually knelt down and started polishing the merchant’s shoes.
This made the merchant extremely smug, "See? You lowlifes, this is what you should do!"
"Show’s over, kill them." Lu Xiaobu shook his head and said flatly.
