Chapter 266: Chapter 265 This is a Little Ancestor

Central Region, Demon Tribe.

Qinghu City was a very large city.

Within the city, there was a boy who looked no different from a young beggar, skulking around a dark alleyway.

Before long,

a number of powerful beings came by, one after another, tracking the boy’s movements.

After these people had left, the boy finally emerged from the alley and swaggered down the street.

"Little Jianjian, has everyone gone yet?"

"They’ve gone," Jian Lingyan answered listlessly.

Xie Jiuniang came to a bun stall, bought ten vegetable buns, and curiously surveyed Qinghu City, "If not for seeing some people with animal-like features, I would’ve doubted this is a city of the Human tribe."

The lifestyle was not much different from that of cities in the Cultivation World.

The only difference was that some with lower bloodlines, whose forms were not fully transformed—like Demons topped with human forms but with animal ears, or an extra tail, or scales on their bodies—did not affect daily life.

It was said that the Demon Tribe only had seven cities.

Compared to the countless large and small cities of the Human Tribe, it really was a huge difference.

After wandering around for a while, Xie Jiuniang found that not only Demon Tribe members lived here, but also some humans. Quite a few shops were run by cultivators.

It wasn’t until she had finished eating the buns that Xie Jiuniang stopped her leisurely stroll.

"I still have a bunch of items that I practiced making in the past. It’s a good time to sell them; the market price here is two to three times that of the Eastern Region."

Here, martial power was revered, and personal strength was pursued. As for a variety of miscellaneous skills, there were not many who were proficient in them, or one could say they lagged behind the Human Tribe by quite a bit.

Arena battles were exceptionally popular here, both bloody and brutal.

Xie Jiuniang originally wanted to sneak into an arena to watch the excitement.

Unfortunately, her clothing was too shabby, and she was stopped by the guards at the entrance, "Go on, scoot! This isn’t a place for begging."

"Move it or I’ll break your legs."

"Just look at your wretched appearance!"

As the guard shooed people away, he cursed under his breath.

Suppressing her urge to watch the excitement, Xie Jiuniang, with a mind to annoy others, threw out a luxurious small palace on the open ground outside the arena.

She entered the small palace, and when she came out again, she had changed into a splendid robe, donned an openwork carved Purple Jade Crown, and stepped into premium flowing cloud boots, presenting herself as clean-cut and dazzlingly handsome.

A young man of utter opulence and wealth.

She set up a long table and chairs in front of the palace.

On the table, she placed various elixirs, Array Plates, Magic Artifacts, and Spirit Talismans, and then Xie Jiuniang sat on a chair, nonchalantly crossing her legs, and began to hawk her wares in an indifferent tone, "Come on, come on, don’t miss out! Elixirs, Artifacts, Talismans, and Arrays, Mechanical Puppets, we’ve got everything."

"Elixirs for sale!"

"Talismans here!"

"Great Array Plates, all kinds of Magic Artifacts and flying Puppet Horses!"

Xie Jiuniang, thinking she might be too busy on her own, tossed out two Puppets the size of normal adults to help take care of the business, collecting Spirit Stones and the like.

This series of actions left the arena guards dumbstruck.

They had thought she was a beggar.

But in the blink of an eye, she had become a noble young master. What to do? However, was the young master lowering his own value by setting up a stall?

Xie Jiuniang didn’t feel like she was losing face.

Because in her mind, such a concept didn’t exist. After hawking for a moment, she saw people coming to the arena, "Fairy sister, big brother, we have good items for sale over here. Why not take a look? There’s always something that will suit you."

"You can watch battles any day, but my stall is not always here."

"Miss it this time, and there won’t be a next time."

Some who had come to watch the battles, upon hearing the clear call, couldn’t help but glance over. When they swept over the items on the stall, they were involuntarily attracted.

This infuriated the arena guards.

They quickly went to notify the person in charge.

The person in charge came out aggressively with their enforcers, but upon seeing the luxurious little palace and spotting Xie Jiuniang’s luxurious attire, they immediately halted.

The newly arrived Demon Emperor, who happened to witness this scene, found it amusing.

A brat is a brat, unable to withstand provocation.

"Sir, are we just going to let the Young Master continue with this nonsense? That arena seems to be the property of the Qinghu Clan," a Demon Guard questioned from the side.

The Demon Emperor said, "No matter, let her be."

Leaving four of the Demon Emperor’s trusted aides to protect Xie Jiuniang, the Demon Emperor vanished in a flash.

Of course, Xie Jiuniang knew nothing of this.

Jian Lingyan knew it, but chose to say nothing.

Both the person and the sword were well aware that from the moment she signed a contract with the Demon Emperor, evading his notice was nothing but wishful thinking. Xie Jiuniang’s commotions were merely a form of probing.

Probing the limits of the Demon Emperor.

Probing whether she could leave the Central Region.

Next, as expected, Xie Jiuniang’s business thrived.

She siphoned off the customers from the arena.

By her sole effort, she reduced the arena’s business by thirty percent that day.

There were those along the way with ill intentions, but upon discovering Xie Jiuniang’s identity, they went from aggressive to feigning indifference.

This was a little ancestor, who would dare to provoke her?

Some even stepped forward willingly to spend their money, taking care of Xie Jiuniang’s business.

Xie Jiuniang went from starting with two Puppets to now having six Puppets.

These Puppets, all had the appearance of normal people.

If it weren’t made clear they were Puppets, from a distance they resembled normal people; they were perfectly capable of serving tea, delivering water, cleaning, and other household tasks, let alone just helping to sell goods and collect Spirit Stones now.

It couldn’t be easier!

The goods from the four regions have always been very popular in the Central Region.

"Boss, how much for this Puppet Horse?"

"Eight hundred thousand!"

"But isn’t there a defect?"

"That minor defect won’t affect its use. If it weren’t for that, it would sell for over a million. You should think of it this way, that little defect is worth two hundred thousand, and you’re getting a huge deal."

Xie Jiuniang’s ability to swindle people had increased yet again.

Jian Lingyan, however, knew her dog of a master was crafty; she used to sell it for five hundred thousand.

"Make way!"

"Everyone make way! Our Young Master has arrived!"

"Commoners, out of the way!"

The shouting came from afar, along with the sounds of chaotic running.

Someone cried out in a panic, "Everybody step aside! The Qinghu Family’s Young Master has arrived, and he’s quite the little tyrant."

"Damn, why is this guy here?" someone blurted out in front of the stall, "I haven’t bought my stuff yet!"

"Buy my ass, forget about your life, let’s move back quickly!" his friend hurriedly dragged him away.

The stall that was once crowded emptied in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a handful of people, all of whom had a certain status and were not intimidated by the Young Master of the Qinghu Clan.

Not far away,

eight strong men carried an exquisite and ornate palanquin.

Inside the palanquin sat a beautiful youth with demon-like charm—a vivid dark red hair tied with a single ribbon, skin as pale as snow, features exquisitely refined, and a pair of bewitching reddish eyes.

With the corners of his eyes lifted slightly, his flirtatious demeanor blossomed.

He was draped in a fox fur cloak, its snowy hairs shimmering under the sunlight.

The palanquin came to a halt.

The demonically charming youth was assisted out of the palanquin.

His movements were captivatingly graceful and elegant.
