Chapter 330 The Fragrant Human Cultivator
After all, it's not something to be proud of if we can't compare to other cities, is it? Is this guy out of his mind?
She just blurted it out like that? Doesn't she care about her reputation as the city lord?!
Gu Xinyan and the others couldn't help but chuckle. In fact, the ghost messenger named Ali had been rambling on the way here.
It's clear that he's harboring a lot of resentment because he's been suppressed by the city lords and powerful families of the other regions.
He just wanted a chance to slap those people hard across the face and have a good time, and their arrival was just such an opportunity.
However, since they've arrived in the Ten Domains, if they get along well, they could potentially stay here long-term.
"Dimensional merchants? And food that we ghost cultivators can eat? I wonder if we could take a look? It's amazing that they've made Ali and the others so excited!"
After listening to Ali's words, Lord Yucheng became very interested in the food he mentioned. Although he didn't know what the interdimensional merchant meant, he understood what he was talking about afterward.
These people must possess some kind of magical ability to travel through countless worlds and do business in different worlds. Therefore, the food they sell must also be somewhat different.
She wouldn't find it strange that food filled with ghostly energy appeared in the ghost realm, but she was very interested in its presence among these living people.
How long has it been since she last ate food from the mortal realm? She seems to have lost count.
The food in the Ghost Realm is particularly unpalatable. Apart from the food in Ghost King City, which is acceptable, the food in the other realms is truly indescribable.
Fortunately, she didn't have a strong appetite, so she usually didn't eat much. At most, she would eat a little when she went to Ghost King City. Otherwise, she would drink some fruit wine and alcohol.
Therefore, the food brought by these strangers immediately piqued her interest, and as she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Gu Xinyan and the others.
Those eyes, carrying a hint of allure, made Gu Xinyan and the others feel a tingling sensation in their hearts.
After shaking her head to clear her mind, Gu Xinyan took an apple out of her backpack.
"Lord Yu, try this. The ghost messengers, Ali and the others, were just eating this. This fruit is called an apple."
It tastes very sweet, is very juicy, and contains extremely pure ghost energy, which is highly beneficial to ghost cultivators.
"This is just one of the foods we have in our shop; the other foods are also very delicious." As he spoke, he handed the apple in his hand to Lord Yucheng.
Seeing this, Lord Yu Cheng didn't stand on ceremony. He reached out and took the apple, examined it carefully, and then gently sniffed it.
Instantly, a refreshing fruity aroma wafted over, mixed with a faint, almost imperceptible ghostly scent.
Although the ghostly aura wasn't very obvious, she still noticed it; it was indeed quite different.
The bright red skin was smooth and delicate, looking very tempting. The faint fruity aroma made her swallow hard. In the ghost realm, this kind of fruit was not common.
"This fruit looks rather unusual!"
As Lord Yu spoke, he took a small bite, and instantly, the sweet juice of the apple filled his mouth.
Along with it came a pure ghostly aura, not much, but very strong, which made her tremble involuntarily.
An unprecedented feeling of comfort spread throughout my body, sweeping away all the fatigue I had been feeling lately.
"Hmm... the taste is indeed excellent. Food from the mortal realm is definitely the best!"
Excitement gleamed in the eyes of the Jade City Lord, who took a few more bites until he finished the entire apple. Then, he smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction, feeling the ghostly energy entering his body, and couldn't help but sigh.
"If all the food in your area were as delicious as this fruit, it would definitely sell like hotcakes in the Ghost Realm."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan hurriedly assured her, "Lord Yu, rest assured, the food in our shop tastes very good, absolutely no less than this apple."
In addition to fruits, there are other kinds besides vegetables and fruits. Our store also offers various pastries, snacks, fast food, and more.
Each item contains pure ghostly energy, guaranteed to satisfy all our guests.
"Very well, what are we waiting for? Come with me into the city!"
Lord Yu nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to turn and get into the carriage, he seemed to remember something, turned back to look at Gu Xinyan and the others, and instructed them:
"Since you've opened a shop in our City of Rebirth, I, the city lord, will naturally provide you with certain conveniences and protection, and will not allow those fools to offend you."
However, you must also abide by the rules of my City of Rebirth; you must not cause trouble within the city. But once you leave the city, I, the city lord, will not be responsible for you.
Therefore, if there are any grudges, they must be resolved outside the city! Also, you are all living beings, and human cultivators at that.
These are all highly nourishing for ghost cultivators. There are rules in the city against acting rashly, so as long as you're careful, nothing bad will happen!
"Don't worry, Lord Yu, none of us are troublemakers. As long as they don't cause us any trouble, we won't bother with them!"
Hearing Lord Yu's instructions, Gu Xinyan nodded in agreement. After all, they were not people who liked to cause trouble. When doing business, they naturally wanted to make money peacefully.
Unless they are fools, they will not let them go easily, but for honest customers who come to shop, they will definitely be greeted with a smile.
Besides, they are not weaklings; since they have come here, they are naturally not afraid of them.
Their protective shields are still intact, so even if they are alone, they are not afraid of those ghost cultivators.
Upon hearing this, the Jade City Lord was even more satisfied. If this were a shop run by a few ghost cultivators, she wouldn't have given such instructions, but these were all living people.
Thinking of the message Ali had sent her before, these strangers were all from Blue Star, but Blue Star was not within the scope of their Ghost Realm's business, so they must be from other Ghost Realm regions.
However, the fact that they were able to come here shows that they have some ability and are not afraid of them, and she is very interested in them.
So it's good to be on good terms with them, otherwise if things turn sour and they go to other domains, she'll have even less chance of winning over the City of Rebirth in the Ten Domains.
The arrival of a living person would naturally attract the attention of many ghost cultivators, so she would still be somewhat uneasy without giving them some instructions.
After all, in the eyes of ghost cultivators, living people are like ginseng fruits.
