Soon after, the waiter led Ye Qiu into their inn.
The inn wasn't large, but it was considered luxurious for a small town, and at eight thousand a night, it was an exorbitant price.
Of course, this price is not just for the room; it includes other services.
After entering the room, Ye Qiu instructed the waiter to bring the map as soon as possible.
The waiter was reliable; he soon delivered a map of the Void Ancient Realm to Ye Qiu.
The map is very detailed, clearly recording the major regions of the Void Ancient Realm.
However, it does not indicate where the upper boundary is or where the lower boundary is.
Left with no other choice, Ye Qiu sought out the waiter again and, after careful questioning, finally figured it out.
It turns out that the area occupied by the cultivators from the lower realms was only a small patch of land.
Meanwhile, beings from the upper realm occupied most of the ancient void realm.
From this, one can imagine that cultivators from lower realms had a miserable time in the ancient void realm.
After the waiter left, Ye Qiu carefully studied the map and found a route to the gathering place of cultivators in the lower realm.
Bang, bang.
Just as Ye Qiu was putting away the map, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"who?"
Ye Qiu asked.
"Please open the door, sir."
A soft, sweet voice came from outside the door.
Ye Qiu opened the door, and a woman dressed in a sexy outfit walked in.
The woman had a charming figure, a very low neckline, and her snow-white skin shimmered, captivating all who saw her.
"Who are you?"
"Young master, I am a staff member of this inn. Tonight, I will be your personal maid. You can tell me if you have any needs, and I will fulfill all your requests."
The woman bowed, her smile sweet.
Ye Qiu came to his senses...
He spent eight thousand to stay one night, and had such a beautiful woman serve as his maid for the night.
Theoretically speaking, it's not a loss.
But Ye Qiu doesn't need that kind of service!
"You can go now, I don't need this," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"Ah, young master, if you kick me out, I... I won't get my share. Could you please not kick me out?"
The woman's expression immediately tensed up.
"Just tell the boss that you've done everything, except you didn't stay overnight, and he won't deduct your pay," Ye Qiu said.
"No, they won't believe it."
"Then I'll give you Void Gold. I'll give you whatever share you get," Ye Qiu said softly.
Upon hearing this, the woman was startled: "Young master, what are you after?"
"I don't want anything in return."
The woman gritted her teeth, thought for a long time, and then suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud: "Young master, then... then can you please save me?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Ye Qiu didn't understand.
The woman hurriedly said, "Actually, I'm not from the upper realm. I... I come from the lower realm. I was captured and have been locked up here entertaining guests. I really want to get out, I really want to leave."
"Such a thing really happened?" Ye Qiu was shocked. "Are there many people who have experienced the same thing as you?"
"Yes." The woman said softly, "A small number of the younger and prettier ones will be taken into the mansions of some important figures from the upper realm and kept as private pets, but most of them will be placed in various inns, restaurants, teahouses, etc., to make money for them."
If a man from the lower realm is captured, those who do not resist will be sent to mine spirit ore or to test medicines, while those who disobey will be killed or fed to their battle pets.
"I see."
Ye Qiu clenched his fists, a strange fire burning within him.
Although he had never met these humiliated people from the lower realms, Ye Qiu, being a person from the lower realms himself, was still very angry after hearing about their plight. The upper realms did not treat people from the lower realms as human beings at all.
The same applies to Ye Qiu as well.
If that waiter had known he was from the lower realm, he probably wouldn't have been so friendly.
"I will rescue you, but I can't just rescue you alone. Since I've come here, I will rescue everyone in this inn who is trapped like you," Ye Qiu said solemnly.
“But some people…they might not be willing to leave here…people change when they stay in one place for a long time.” The woman smiled bitterly.
“Understood. Go and see if there are any who want to leave. I will take them with me. If they don’t want to leave, there’s no need to force them,” Ye Qiu said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The woman nodded vigorously.
“Alright, go and make the contact. I’ll take you away first thing tomorrow morning,” Ye Qiu said.
"Huh?" The woman was taken aback. "Young master, where should we look for you tomorrow morning? We can't gather together in your room, and we can't go out either. If anyone tries to escape and gets caught, they will be killed."
"It's alright. Get ready first thing tomorrow morning. I'll call you from the inn's exit. As long as you hear me say I'm going home, you can come out without worry," Ye Qiu said.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
The woman nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, go ahead."
...
After the woman left, Ye Qiu sat on the edge of the bed, his brows furrowed.
He really hadn't expected that the battle between the upper and lower realms would cause these problems.
If he hadn't encountered it, Ye Qiu wouldn't have deliberately gotten involved in these matters now.
After all, there are many experts from the Celestial Star Realm, so it's not his place to deal with them.
But if he encountered it, Ye Qiu would not stand idly by.
However, Ye Qiu couldn't tell how many experts were behind this inn.
After careful consideration, he decided to go out and investigate.
But at that moment, Ye Qiu suddenly heard a strange sound.
It sounded like a woman moaning, coming from next door, which startled Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu took a deep breath, not paying too much attention. Just as he was about to leave the room, a panting voice came from next door: "I know what you're going to do. Come and help me, and I'll tell you what you want to know. I'll also help you rescue them."
Ye Qiu's eyes narrowed. Was the soundproofing in this room really that bad?
He took a deep breath and looked at the wall beside him: "What will you do if I don't come over?"
I will report you.
"What do you need my help with?" Ye Qiu asked again.
"You'll see when you get here. Hurry up, I can't hold back any longer."
Before he could finish speaking, the woman next door let out another suppressed groan.
Ye Qiu's heart pounded, wondering if she was going to make him do *that* with her.
But at that moment, Ye Qiu had no choice but to go and see.
Otherwise, if he were to be reported, he probably wouldn't be able to save the people trapped in the inn.
When Ye Qiu entered the next room, he saw a girl in a black dress lying on the bed, her clothes disheveled, covered in sweat, and looking somewhat pained.
"What's wrong?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Come closer when we talk."
The girl in the black dress struggled to sit up, but looked very weak.
Ye Qiu frowned and walked closer: "Are you poisoned?"
"Yes," the girl in the black dress said through gritted teeth, "I've been poisoned by a bastard with the Heartless Flower Poison, and I'm... I'm about to lose control. Can you help me detoxify?"
