Finally, this lone man and woman, along with a little snake, finally arrived at their destination - Sangshui City!

This city is very special. Because it is close to the East China Sea, it is the largest port city-state in the Southern Region. It is also one of the few permanent neutral zones on the border. It does not belong to any imperial force. However, in Sangshui City, the power of the City Lord's Mansion is very large.

In order to conceal their tracks, Xu Yang and the empress changed into more ordinary clothes and sneaked into the city, but they soon discovered the biggest problem here - the Forbidden Spirit Array!

The entire Sangshui City is shrouded in a huge forbidden spirit formation. In this city, no matter what your status or background is in other places, or how high your realm and strength are, as long as you enter Sangshui City, everyone will return to a new starting point. As long as you enter the city, no one can use spiritual power to activate the skills.

This city-state is quite large, and you can tell from the way they dress that there are all kinds of people here. Xu Yang and his group wanted to go out to sea, so they went to the dock as soon as possible.

"Come, come, line up, hand in your exclusive sea orders, don't crowd!"

Several tall guards from the City Lord's Mansion were shouting at the dock ahead.

"Sea Order?

What is that? Isn't it the kind that you can get on board by paying money? "

Xu Yang and Xue Qinghan looked at each other.

"Look at me, it's useless. I stay in the palace all day to practice, and the servants take care of these things outside."

"Forehead……

So, Empress, you are looking for our boss just to find yourself a slave!"

Xu Yang: “?

? ? "

The empress's cold and beautiful face couldn't help but smile after hearing what the little snake said.

After asking someone around, Xu Yang and the others came to know that the Sea Order is an important token that everyone who wants to enter the East China Sea must obtain. Points can be exchanged for corresponding points by completing tasks issued by the City Lord's Mansion in Sangshui City. After reaching a certain score, points can be exchanged for Sea Orders of corresponding quality.

The tokens are divided into five levels: white, yellow, blue, purple and orange, which correspond to the five different levels of ships at the dock. The higher the level of the token, the higher the grade of the ship you board when you go out to sea, and naturally you will enjoy higher levels of service and security.

"Excuse me, besides completing the tasks in the City Lord's Mansion, is there any quick way to earn points?"

After all, the empress is an emperor-level existence. She has been pampered and high up since childhood. She can't stand the psychological gap of working for the people in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Yes, I have!

Some wealthy and powerful outsiders usually choose to go directly to the pawnshop to sell some of their valuables, which they can exchange for a certain amount of points according to a certain ratio.

But I want to remind you that the pawnshop here is different from the pawnshops in other imperial forces. The currency ratio is one to one thousand. One thousand taels of silver outside can only be used as one tael of silver here."

"What!

!”

The empress frowned immediately, but she soon figured out the reason. Sangshui City did this as a way for the City Lord's Mansion to consolidate its power, and to try to keep outsiders and people in the city at the same starting point.

Simply put, the wealthy merchants from outside could only buy three steamed buns with one thousand taels of silver, while ordinary people in the city could also earn one tael by working for a day. In this way, the gap between everyone would be infinitely narrowed.

Originally, Xu Yang was planning to do a few tasks conscientiously, but it can be seen from the empress's attitude that she had no intention of lowering herself at all. Asking her to wear this coarse linen dress was already the utmost of her forbearance.

"Boss, I want to pawn these three pieces of jewelry. What do you think their value is?"

The empress was really generous. When she placed the three pieces of jewelry on the counter of the pawn shop, more than a dozen people passing by all subconsciously looked over here and some even exclaimed in surprise.

"Axue, this thing is too expensive. Why don't I go to the City Lord's Mansion to take on a few missions? If I delay for a few days, I should be able to exchange it for two Sea Orders."

Xu Yang finally spoke, because he saw that what the empress placed on the counter were three glazed phoenix hairpins!

That is a top-notch piece of jewelry that is rare in the entire Three Thousand Dao States.

However, the empress didn't even look at Xu Yang, but just said one word calmly.

"when."

The waiter inside took a deep look at the empress, and then looked at the three hairpins carefully.

"Miss, please wait a moment. I will ask our shopkeeper to come and personally set the price for you."

As he said this, the guy ran into the inner hall, obviously very excited about the arrival of such a big customer.

"Zizizizi, Boss, you are worthy of being the Empress!

These three hairpins are priceless. How can you just pawn them?

If you miss this top rich woman, it will be hard to find another one!"

As soon as the little snake finished speaking, the empress poked the snake in the three inches. Outsiders could not see the empress's move at all, and just thought she was touching her husband's pocket. Little did they know that the dragon python inside was like someone was strangling it, and it howled for mercy, and only then did it get the empress's forgiveness.

Half a cup of tea later, the shopkeeper came in person. When he saw the hairpin, his eyes almost popped out and he couldn't help but look at the empress deeply.

“Excuse me, who are you…” “Humph, since when did a pawn shop dare to interfere with the identity of the seller?

This is my master's jewelry, please set the price quickly."

When the empress spoke in a cold voice, although she could not release her spiritual pressure in Sangshui City, her powerful mental strength and her extremely noble and graceful temperament were simply not something that ordinary people could resist.

The shopkeeper put on his gold-rimmed glasses and looked for a long time, then held up five fingers.

"Five thousand taels."

"What!

Five thousand taels?

Oh my god…

There hasn't been such a high price offered in Sangshui City in the past year, right?

If it costs five thousand taels, this hairpin would be worth five million outside!

My God, how much power is behind this girl? "

The shopkeeper was not vague and directly took out five silver notes of one thousand taels engraved with a golden seal and handed them to the empress respectfully.

"My lady, please inform your master that if you come to pawn your items again in the future, we will raise the price by 20%!

Yuanbao, go and see these two distinguished guests off!"

“No need.”

The empress grabbed the banknote with a shake of her hand, immediately grabbed Xu Yang's sleeve and quickly walked out the door. Before the waiter could follow her out, both of them had disappeared.

“Go!

I always feel that this place is not peaceful.

Although there is a soul-banning formation, it seems that the security in the city has been greatly improved, but in fact, people like us are the ones who suffer the most.

Just because you can’t use spiritual power doesn’t mean there are no hidden dangers in this city.”

Sure enough, this time, the empress guessed it right, perhaps it had something to do with her keen sense of a ruler.

Before the two of them walked out of the third street, a dozen middle-aged men in simple clothes were staring at their way.

"Where are you guys going in such a hurry?"
