Chapter 214 The Area That Shouldn't Exist
The black cat said indifferently:
"Let's lift the ban. If you're still worried, you can ban Xiaoqi again after we meet."
After saying this, Su Yu hesitated and stopped.
The black cat gestured for him to speak plainly.
“…And You Fujun,” Su Yu pinched her nose and said, “She and A Yao have some issues, remember to have her come back first.”
Demon Abyss Spirit: Oh...hehe.
Demon Abyss instantly began to anticipate Lingyuan's reaction upon discovering that its cub had been kidnapped by the Time Management Bureau employee.
It's better on his side; at least both of them are natives.
It pretended to agree in a very serious and solemn manner, and immediately lifted the system's ban.
Then Su Yu heard Xiao Qi's loud accusation against Mo Yuanling.
Without any warning, Su Yu's mind went blank for a moment.
Mo Yuanling snorted coldly, and Xiao Qi immediately fell silent under the intimidation of the World Consciousness Preparatory Spirit.
In short, after comforting Xiao Qi and talking about the Demon Abyss Spirit, the discussion about important matters came to an end. Su Yu looked at the darkening sky outside the window and felt that it wasn't too late, and there was still time to go to the Ghost Market to claim the identity of the Ghost Lord.
With such a comfortable identity, why would he refuse it and wander around aimlessly?
As for the Su family...
Su Yu glanced at the black cat discreetly. It seemed that its abilities were somewhat limited when it was in the spirit world, and it was unaware of what had happened before.
He decided to pretend that he had never actually been in contact with the Su family, and that the Su family would not send any messages to Su Yao.
So Su Yu immediately took out the Ghost Lord Set from her storage ring and quickly changed her clothes.
The black cat seemed thoughtful:
Su Yu freed one hand and turned the black cat around so that its back was to him: "Don't be a hooligan."
Demon Abyss Spirit scoffed:
Su Yu coldly replied, "Multiple genders are not allowed either."
Su Yu quickly changed into her ghost market attire, picked up the black cat and tucked it into her arms, went to the window, braced herself with her hands and legs, and jumped out of the inn window.
A dark, human-shaped figure fell through the window, and passersby on the street, unfazed, looked away.
Among cultivators, there are always a few who don't like walking.
As darkness fell, the number of people entering the ghost market gradually increased, perhaps because the darkness provided a sense of security for some shady transactions.
Su Yu chose to follow the flow of people and enter the Ghost Market through the main entrance.
He used illusion magic to conceal his presence, and was overlooked by the gatekeeper responsible for checking the tokens of entry into the market, without alerting anyone.
After all, before claiming the identity of the Ghost Lord, he first needs to figure out what the Ghost Market has become under the restart of the Demon Abyss Spirit.
The familiar scene rushed towards her; the layout of the Ghost Market was basically the same everywhere, and Su Yu could find her way with her eyes closed.
But there is still one difference.
Su Yu stopped at the edge of the live animal trading area.
An extra section that shouldn't exist has appeared here.
Aside from occasionally offering rare goods or auction items, the Ghost Market mostly provides a safe and private trading venue. As long as the vendors follow the rules of the Ghost Market, the market doesn't interfere with what they do.
However, after Su Yu became the Ghost Lord, she added an intelligent race to the list of prohibited transactions in the Ghost Market.
It might be because he himself was captured and enslaved when he first arrived in the Demon Realm, or it might be because he experienced the apocalypse and therefore still has some protective instincts towards the survivors.
In short, he hated this kind of deal, even though it had been the norm in this world for a long time.
But he is the Ghost Lord, so of course he can decide the rules of the Ghost Market.
Su Yu thought casually that the deals he hated should be kept in the deepest, lowest, and most shameful shadows.
Their Ghost Market is a legitimate force.
The black cat that the Demon Abyss Spirit had transformed into quietly perched on his shoulder, and System Xiao Qi was also reluctant to make a sound because the Demon Abyss Spirit was present.
This made the scene in front of us seem exceptionally noisy.
"Hey! I want to change people!" It was a customer dressed in all black with a mask covering himself completely, dragging a dirty, downcast young slave in his hand.
He found the slave owner, forced a smile, and walked around the stall. He glared fiercely at the boy and asked the customer, "Let's talk this out. This is the Ghost Market. What's wrong with this guy?"
The customer toned down his attitude a bit, tossing the man over to the slave trader: "You're blind, you can't work, find someone else."
The vendor's skin twitched for a moment: "It was perfectly fine when it was sold, and you picked it out yourself. If you damaged it yourself, my little shop won't compensate you."
The customer scoffed, almost laughing in exasperation: "I've only had it for two days, and before I've even let him do anything, he's gone blind. I want to ask you, you heartless merchant, what kind of sickly monster are you selling!"
"Stop talking nonsense and trying to smear me! Did someone else send you to cause trouble?!" The vendor couldn't stand it, of course. If these words got out, would he still be able to do business?
They started arguing.
Apart from the fact that the merchandise was sold by a person, everything else seemed normal. Aside from a few people who liked to join in the fun watching from the sidelines, no one paid much attention to this area.
Perhaps some people sympathized with the blind slave, or perhaps they wanted to save him, but they wouldn't step forward and get involved in the mess in front of everyone.
Su Yu walked slowly forward and knocked on the iron cage holding the slaves, attracting their attention.
The shopkeeper instantly abandoned the troublemaker and turned to Su Yu, rubbing his hands together in a friendly manner as he asked, "Sir, what kind of things would you like to buy? My stall may be small, but we have everything, men's and women's, small and large."
Su Yu's attire was similar to that of most ordinary customers at the ghost market, but this vendor was quite good at judging people. He figured that Su Yu must be much richer than the rude customer who kept pestering him to change people.
The customer was also very dissatisfied and was even prepared to choose and exchange the item himself, since this small transaction shouldn't attract the attention of the ghost market's patrol team.
Just as he was about to make his selection, he heard the new customer speak.
"No need to look, I'll take them all."
Is that true? How much would that cost?
After his initial elation came suspicion. He hesitated and said, "This...the amount is quite large. I wonder if you have brought enough funds?"
Su Yu asked in a light tone, "Oh, it actually costs money?"
The shop owner's face darkened slightly: "You're joking, sir. If you're not buying anything, you're welcome to browse around."
Su Yu sighed softly, "I already said I want them all."
Ah, I've finally found the corresponding helmsman's seal for this ghost market.
He contacted the person directly through the Ghost Lord Seal, then removed his disguise, revealing his Ghost Lord attire.
Although these people may not be acquainted, one can probably deduce from the style and patterns that the person dressed in this outfit must have a close relationship with the Ghost Market.
Su Yu slowly used a cleaning spell to remove the dirt from her knuckles that had been stained from tapping the cage, and said softly, "The Ghost Market will gladly accept these people."
The kind where you don't have to pay.
