Chapter 1502: Lawless City

Chapter 1502: Lawless City Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Lingwu Continent was rife with undercurrents and conflicts. Someone who lacked strength like her did not seem capable of surviving for very long.

However, this was her private matter, so Ye Chen did not intend to probe further. He simply sipped on the wine while waiting for the dishes and pondering his plan for the auction.

Not long after, Xiaoyu came out with a few dishes.

However…

Bang! Crash!

Two dishes fell to the ground, and Xiao Yu was like a mouse that had just spotted a cat. She quickly ran into the kitchen and changed into an extremely plain outfit. After that, she warily stepped out of the kitchen with a soot-covered face, her eyes glued to the entrance of the inn.

Ye Chen felt that the situation was a little strange and looked in that direction as well, where he discovered that a group of men filled with killing intent walked in. They were dressed very strangely and carried knives and swords. They rummaged through the cabinets and looked around from time to time. “There’s no one in this inn?”

“What kind of lousy shop is this?”

“Don’t you know that our Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion is searching for people?”

The leader swaggered in and glanced at Ye Chen. He picked up Ye Chen’s wine bowl with a nonchalant expression and gulped down the contents. He smiled in satisfaction and then shouted, “Whoever the boss of this place is, get out here. Can you not see that you have new customers?”

“Yes, yes…”

Xiao Yu lowered her head and pretended to sound old as she timidly stood in front of the leader of the group.

“You old hag, why were you so slow? Where are the girls in your inn?”

“Why isn’t there anyone? The Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion is lacking people!”

The leader grabbed Xiao Yu’s head and said loudly, “Girls, follow me to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. You’ll be able to eat and drink well. There will also be high-ranking officials and nobles. Perhaps a young genius will take a fancy to you…”

After he finished speaking, he realized that not a single girl came out of the inn. Infuriated, he kicked Xiao Yu away. “Where are the girls from before? Why is there no one left? I’m here to recruit people, but you don’t have a single person. Are you trying to piss me off?”

He then poured a bowl of wine over and splashed it on Xiao Yu’s face, washing away some of the soot on her face and revealing her beauty.

The leader of the group was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he came to his senses and a lustful look appeared on his face as he smiled. “What a surprise! You shouldn’t try to cover up such a beautiful face.”

After saying that, he pounced towards Xiao Yu with a lewd smile and tried to grab her. However, before he could get any closer, a black shadow flashed and Ye Chen appeared in front of Xiao Yu.

“What are you trying to pull here?” His eyes were cold as he stared at the leader of the group. “Is Sky Sword City so lawless that people can be kidnapped openly?”

Was there no law here?

What were those law-enforcement officers doing?

The commotion here could be heard from a distance, yet everyone who passed by did not even give the situation a second glance, as if they were used to it!

…

“Hahaha, brat, what kind of question is that?”

“It seems that you’re new to Sky Sword City,” the leader smiled as he replied. Although he was only a middle-stage Semi Divine realm cultivator, he was not afraid of Ye Chen, who was obviously stronger than he was.

“Guys, bring some chairs over. It’s time for some education!”

The leader leaned on a wooden chair that had been brought over. He crossed his legs and glanced at the frightened Xiao Yu. Then, he looked at the indignant Ye Chen and said casually, “Kid, you’re here to participate in the auction, right?”

“You look like an unaffiliated cultivator, but since you’re still young and immature, I won’t take offense over such a small matter.”

A devilish smile spread across his lips as he said, “Sky Sword City is a mix of good and bad. We have all kinds of people here, and everyone knows that. Moreover, the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion is famous in the city. It was personally established by Elder Dugu Tianyu of the Dugu family!”

“Therefore, your accusations of us kidnapping women are misguided. We are simply giving them the honor of serving the Dugu family, and we are helping them gain a foothold in this city.”

“Do you think that they’ll be happy living their lives as servants in this run-down place? Since she has talent in this regard, it’s better not to waste it. Just look at me.”

The leader pointed at himself and said in a cold and sharp voice, “I’ve managed to make a living for myself helping the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion find beautiful women. After finding them, I send them to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion to entertain those royal descendants and geniuses. It’s their honor, and also an opportunity for them!”

He sized Ye Chen up and pondered. “Now, you seem to be teetering on the edge of life and death!”

“I’ll give you two options!”

“Your cultivation level is decent, so your first option is to become my subordinate.”

“As for the second? I’ll get someone to arrest you and send you to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. The Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion also accepts men. A young man with tender skin like you will become a favorite of those older female experts, or even older men. Hahaha!”

In short, whoever he fancied, he would capture regardless of gender.

Ye Chen was unmoved.

He had now gained an understanding of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, which appeared to be the side business of one of the Dugu family’s elders.

This was why this fellow was able to act so openly and with such impunity.

He glanced at Xiao Yu. The latter’s body was trembling and she was leaning against Ye Chen, obviously afraid.

‘Forget it. Since fate allowed us to cross paths, I’ll save her once.”

“Xiao Yu, do you want to go with them?” Ye Chen’s indifferent voice rang out.

When Xiao Yu heard this, although she did not know why Ye Chen asked this, she still shook her head like a rattle-drum. My parents were killed by them. I’d rather die than go to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion!”

“Alright.” Ye Chen’s pupils shrank.

Then, his cold gaze fell on everyone. “Since the girl doesn’t want to leave, don’t force her. Get lost!”

When the leader heard this, he immediately laughed.

This was the first time he had seen someone who dared to go against the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

It seemed that this kid was a hothead, and also had a few screws loose.

“Little b*stard, I’m afraid that you won’t…”

Before the leader could finish speaking, Ye Chen drew his sword.

Whoosh!

A flash of sword qi streaked across the air and made quick work of the group behind the leader, who were all Semi Divine realm cultivators. They did not even get the chance to say their last words as their bodies were sliced into pieces.

Given his current strength, Ye Chen could kill Semi Divine realm cultivators as easily as cutting weeds.

“How dare you!”
