Chapter 365: City Lord Selects Concubine
Sang Luo looked at the beautiful plump woman in front of him. She had narrow and shrewd slanted eyes and a cunning and mercenary spirit. She was definitely not a kind-hearted person.
She casually took out a high-grade magic crystal and handed it over. "Thank you, Auntie Tuan, for explaining the rules of this Lost City to me."
"Haha, young lady, you have a good eye. You've found the right person. I'm a long-time resident of this city. Just imagine, what has happened here over the years could have escaped my notice!" Auntie Tu accepted the magic crystal and smiled even more attentively, but she still asked in advance, "By the way, young lady, are you here treasure hunting?"
"Yeah." Sang Luo didn't want to be too unique for the time being, so he accepted the reason.
She had previously heard from Quan Jin that the Lost City was simply a large chaotic black market, and now it seemed to be true... Most of the passers-by on the street were foreign buyers, coming from all over the place.
"Girl, your outfit is too plain. To be honest, this city is a mixed bag. There are all kinds of people. Some come here to do big business, while there are also desperate criminals who kill and rob. A beautiful female like you, without a male or thugs following you, if you buy something that attracts people's envy, you will easily be targeted by those desperate guys. There are no laws and morals in this place, and no one will save you from the danger." Aunt Tuan said earnestly.
Sang Luo nodded, "Thank you for letting me know."
Her outfit was indeed out of place with the surroundings. Many people glanced at her along the way. Besides curiosity and indifference, there were also many blatant malicious glances. "I wonder if there are any good clothing stores in the city?"
"To be honest, the shops in this city love to cheat newcomers like you. You're going to be ripped off heavily if you go there dressed like that. If you trust me, why don't you come to my inn and I'll make all the arrangements for you. That's it..." Aunt Tuan rubbed her fingers.
Sang Luo also tactfully handed her a few magic crystals. Aunt Tuan's face was almost wrinkled with smiles. "Tongbei Inn is just a few hundred meters ahead, turn left. Please follow me, young lady."
Sang Luo followed her.
The inn has four floors. The first floor is a restaurant, and the three floors above are accommodation.
The rooms on the top floor are the top-level rooms.
There haven't been any large auctions in the Lost City recently, so the number of visitors is not too large, and nearly half of the rooms are empty. Sang Luo thought that she might have to stay in the city for a few more days, so she paid a deposit first and asked Aunt Tuan to reserve a top-notch room for her.
Aunt Tuan sent someone to bring a pot of freshly heated fragrant tea and poured her a cup herself.
Sang Luo picked up the teacup and was about to drink, but then paused.
Auntie Tuan, "What's wrong? Is this tea not to the young lady's liking?"
Sang Luo put the cup on the table, hesitating to speak, "I, I have something I want to ask Auntie."
"Miss, if you have anything else to ask, feel free to tell me. I will tell you everything I know."
Aunt Tuan walked over, and Sang Luo grabbed her collar and fed the tea in his hand into her mouth.
How could she, an ordinary female with no cultivation, be a match for Sang Luo? Her eyes widened in horror and she tried her best to spit out the tea at the corner of her mouth, but it was of no avail. Most of the tea went into her stomach.
The inn's thugs rushed forward, trying to rescue Aunt Tuan from Sang Luo's hands, but they were no match for Sang Luo and were knocked down in a few moves.
Aunt Tuan, who was drugged, soon fainted on the ground.
Sang Luo felt sorry for losing his magic crystals. People have changed so much that he encountered human traffickers as soon as he arrived. This Lost City really deserves its reputation.
…
"Girl, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please let me go. I won't do it again!"
When Aunt Tuan woke up, she was tied up on a stool.
The thugs she hired were also tied up.
Sang Luo pulled a stool, slowly ate the fruit in his hand, and leisurely watched them beg for mercy in panic.
"I thought you were an honest person, so I came to you for directions and to ask for advice. I didn't expect you to set your sights on me. This is a small punishment."
Auntie Tuan regretted it so much, "If I had known that the girl was a martial artist, I would never have dared to have any ideas about her!"
"After knocking me out, where are you going to sell me to?"
"Girl, you're really embarrassing me. I'm not a human trafficker, and I don't want to sell you. I just want to send you to live a good life, and by the way, make some agency fees..."
Sang Luo twisted his wrist and said, "Why don't you tell the truth?"
"It's true. I was asked to do something for money to select a concubine for the city lord. I happened to see the girl on the road. She was so beautiful and charming that I had some inappropriate thoughts about her. But if the girl is selected into the palace, she will have endless glory and wealth. Although I had some bad thoughts, I was doing it for the girl's own good..." Aunt Tun said with a lack of confidence.
Human traffickers are quite good at flattering themselves.
Sang Luo scoffed inwardly, "If being a concubine in the palace is really that good, there would be many people vying for it, how could an outsider like me get a turn? Do I need someone to forcibly kidnap and send me to the palace? Do you really think everyone else is stupid?"
Aunt Tuan was so shocked that she was speechless.
A whip appeared in Sang Luo's hand. It was long and black, covered with curved barbs. If someone was whipped by it, half of his body would be torn into pieces and he would be living a life worse than death.
Auntie Tu's face suddenly changed, and she panicked, "Girl! Stop! I...I'm telling the truth, isn't it enough for me to tell the truth!"
Sang Luo raised his chin and said, "Tell me everything. If you hide anything again, I'll whip you."
Auntie Tuan swallowed her saliva. "It's true that the city lord is selecting a concubine. He's sent people all over the city to look for young and beautiful females for the purpose of procreating. If you're chosen, you'll surely be blessed with countless wealth and glory, but..."
She lowered her voice, extremely nervous. "The city lord is a fallen angel. Rumor has it that he has an unpredictable temperament and is brutally murderous. That's why any female with a bit of status dares not go there. I'm also paid to do this for someone else, looking for young and gullible females from other races in the city. That's why I've set my sights on you."
Sang Luo's attention was completely focused on the three words "fallen angel".
Breathing is slightly tight.
She forced herself to remain calm and asked, "Who is the city lord?"
"The city lord has a very important background. I heard he is a fallen angel. No one has ever seen his true appearance. He just returned from outside recently."
“…”
Sang Luo's heart sank to the bottom. She currently knew of a fallen angel.
No matter how you look at it, it's Minos.
He just returned to the Lost City and he's already rushing to choose a concubine for himself!?
She brought her child here wanting to see him again, but he was thinking about his second spring. That was really great!
