Chapter 68: Labor and the Ancestral City
Maybe when I was alive and dying, I never thought that I would praise a pig demon.
But when I sang "The Pearl of the East" affectionately in front of the pork tenderloin, I didn't feel anything wrong.
I feel very happy to respect inner wishes, do what you want, have no burden of reputation, and do not set any rules for yourself to restrain yourself.
If you don’t want to give up Ye Xiao, then save him.
If you don’t want to have a conflict with the dungeon so early, then just coax them.
Whether it is the hero Nie Yan or the little man Ye Zhengling, these are just judgments given by the world, and I am just doing what I have to do, what I should do, and what I want to do.
This is a state of mind that makes me feel very comfortable at this moment, but perhaps not everyone can understand me.
Thinking of this, a few lines of Oriental Pearl have been sung, and I said loudly: "Miss Zhu Liji, this song is obvious. Isn't the 'Oriental Pig' talking about you as a stunning person?"
Zhu Liji's laughter came from the car, and then her tone suddenly became stern: "Rareless, who is your lover?!"
"I don't dare to think like this, and I definitely don't dare to think like this. So I just held back and didn't dare to say it." The first half of this sentence is definitely my true words.
After I said this, Zhu Liji's tone eased a lot, and then she said slowly: "Aren't you just making up randomly? There are many beautiful people in my tribe. How do you know that "The Pig of the East" is singing me?"
"Why isn't it? I'm going to tell you something even if I risk my life. I guess Miss Pig Liji knows that pork is an ordinary meat on the ground, but the most expensive one is pork tenderloin! Why? Because pig tenderloin is homophonic to Pig Liji, people dare not easily desecrate you. Even if it's just a homophone, they will never dare to sell it at a low price." I said loudly and seriously, and there are many beautiful people in their clan, but they are reserved.
"Hehehehe" Zhu Liji's laughter came from the car.
I don’t know what it means, but I saw Xiong Feng asking his subordinates a little stupidly, “You have been to the ground, is the pork tenderloin the most expensive? What I got is naturally a positive answer. In pork, if it is not the pork tenderloin the most expensive, what else will it be?
Finally, Zhu Liji stopped her laughter and said to me: "You wolf demon, you are a bit interesting, I admire you."
I looked flattered and quickly said to Zhu Liji: "Since that's the case, I don't know if Miss Zhu Liji can let my brother go. He is indeed unintentional."
Xiong Feng also received my praise before. He was probably in a happy mood and also said a few words to me: "Miss Zhu Liji, I don't think a beautiful demon like you is suitable for being too bloody, otherwise this death penalty would be spared?"
The car was silent for a while, but soon Zhu Liji's tone became cheerful: "The death penalty is avoided, but the death penalty cannot be escaped. Since the elder brother is helping his brother plead, then according to the rules, both of them should be punished, which can be considered as fulfilling your difficulties. Otherwise, if you spare the death penalty of an unrespectful person, how can I live up to my face?"
I didn't express my opinion, listen quietly, I was a tourist for the dungeon. If Zhu Liji had too much guilt on her life, I wouldn't accept it. At that time, I would just pretend to be a pretentious thing just now and all of it would be invalidated.
"Miss Zhu Liji, then how do you punish them?" Xiong Feng asked at this time.
"Recently, Hu Wei is often worried about the labor problem in the north of Qinglong City. The slaves in this dungeon have experienced a disaster decades ago and have not recovered yet. Well, I will help Hu Wei, so these two people will be sent to the labor land in the north of Qinglong City and be punished for one month." After saying that, Zhu Liji decided the fate of Ye Xiao and me.
I am punished for one month of labor?! This is definitely not a punishment I can accept, because my time does not allow me to delay so long in the dungeon.
I had a slight desire to resist, but at this time, Xiong Feng patted my shoulder and said, "You two are really lucky. At least our demon clan is working there, having food, drink and accommodation, doing well and paying wages. Look at you two, you are so poor, I'm afraid you won't be driven out if you stay in Qinglong City for two days. The cheapest inns in the city are twenty mud coins a night. It may not be found. When it comes to curfew, no monsters below the nobles can walk on the streets. How many days can you stay in Qinglong City?"
"There is food, drink, and accommodation? There is still money? Then I'll do it! It's okay to stay for a few more months." Ye Xiao also became excited. Obviously, Xiong Feng's words also hit his vitals. He should be a pauper, and so do I.
Ye Xiao's appearance made Zhu Liji in the car snort contemptuously, and then, as if she was unwilling to care about us, urged her servants to drive the lizard car away.
Xiong Feng also asked his subordinates to pull us, and he was about to rush to Qinglong City, but I shouted: "Wait."
Xiong Feng turned his head and looked at me with bad intentions: "Why, do you still want to resist law enforcement? Since Miss Zhu Liji has ordered this matter, there is no room for maneuver. I can't let you two go to offend Hu Wei. Zhu Liji is his favorite demon."
While spitting on the heavy taste of the Great Hu, I asked calmly: "Mr. Xiong Feng, I don't mean to resist? I just wanted to ask, is there any way to end this labor early?"
"Do you want to end the labor early?" Xiong Feng's expression calmed down a little, and he looked at me with some surprise.
"Yes. It's not easy to come to Qinglong City once. I still have some things that people in my hometown have to do." I'm not considered lying Xiong Feng. If Xiong Feng gave me a negative answer on this question, I would choose another way to go to the dungeon.
"It's not easy to end labor? There are many ways, for example, if you do ten people's work alone and accumulate enough labor merit, you can come out in advance. For example, there is a faster way to go to the fighting arena. Whether it's a monster or a human, you have the qualifications to go to the fighting arena! Even slaves have the qualifications to fight with nobles. The fighting arena is the fairest place. As a demon in the dungeon, you should understand it, right?" Xiong Feng was a little impatient after saying this, and turned around and got on the horse.
"I just don't know that during the service of labor, I can also go to the fighting arena." In order to avoid Xiong Feng's suspicion, I quickly added.
Xiong Feng ignored it and ran towards Qinglong City alone, but his subordinates said: "Those who enter the fighting arena are either extremely grudges or people who don't even want their lives. What's the point of serving a labor service? I think you have never seen the fighting arena in Qinglong City! Let's go."
While speaking, he pulled the iron chain tied around my waist and urged me to move forward.
Of course, I don’t know anything about the fighting arena in this dungeon, but this place has been kept firmly in mind and I am ready to inquire about it at that time.
As for serving labor, it is also a feasible solution for the time being. It seems that the cost of living in Qinglong City is not low. Even if my half pack of cigarettes is not given to Xiong Feng, it probably won't last for a few days. Will I go to find a way to do some work at that time? Obviously it is not feasible.
Instead, I served labor and in such a crowded place, I could temporarily settle down, and I could get to know the dungeon as quickly as possible, and even ask for information.
After making up my mind, I no longer resisted and let Xiong Feng's subordinates pull me towards Qinglong City. Ye Xiao was beside me, and he kept touching and guilty thoughts, saying that he had implicated me, saying that I was his good brother for the rest of his life, but I ignored it. My saving him was just something I wanted in my heart. I did not ask for his touch and gratitude, and there was no burden in my heart.
If one day, he and I have to stand opposite to life and death, I will not hesitate to fight.
Sometimes life doesn’t have to be too complicated.
In this way, under the thoughts of the wolf roar, he and I finally arrived at the legendary Qinglong City. Although the way we came was not very brilliant, the moment we entered the huge city gate, the wolf roar still cheered.
And I was also shocked in my heart. It was really a coral wall. It was not only two long huge coral reefs, but it was almost nearly 80 meters high. After entering the city gate, I realized that the thickness of the coral reef was not something I could imagine. It was a thickness of thirty meters. What was this kind of regret?
Then after years, these coral reefs have been completely petrified and extremely hard. Think about it, the thirty-meter-thick city wall makes people feel that Qinglong City is simply an unbreakable place.
I even believe that there are other protections in Qinglong City on the city wall, because I feel the very weak formation fluctuations.
I swallowed secretly, and I was planning to cause trouble in such a place? It seems that I am also a complete madman.
Thirty meters thick enough for the city wall, but it is only a matter of minutes for walking. After crossing the city wall, I finally entered the ancestral city of this dungeon, the legendary Qinglong City.
The moment I stepped into this city, I couldn't help but yelled softly. Whether it was a demonic city or a human city, I had to admit that this was definitely a beautiful and great city.
