The ultimate transmission fear beast stands on the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 384 The actors are in place

Holding Wu Juanjuan in his arms, the Prince's envoy Gu You and his two younger brothers left the auction house amid Qi Langhai's apologetic smile.

Following Gu You and the other two out, when they were far enough away from the auction house, Wu Juanjuan blushed and whispered to Gu You, "Let go."

"Oh."

Gu You didn't do it voluntarily. If he didn't want to get Wu Juanjuan, who was still a good person, out safely and give the Qi family some wrong information, he wouldn't want to change his job to become a playboy.

Seeing Gu You take his hand away without saying anything, Wu Juanjuan felt a little empty in her heart. But she was well-informed and quickly sorted out her mood and bowed deeply to Gu You solemnly.

"Thank you for rescuing me."

It's "rescue" rather than "bring" because to the auction house, both the young girls responsible for welcoming guests and other male staff are actually no different from slaves.

As long as you still live in Haibin City, as long as you are still within the Qi family's sphere of influence, even if you become a soul master, as long as you lack talent, you must serve the Qi family.

Without exception.

Gu You smiled, as if he didn't notice anything wrong, and turned to Ma Hongjun and ordered: "Fatty, you are responsible for sending her home."

"Yes." Ma Hongjun nodded slowly, and followed Wu Juanjuan and Gu You Oscar to go their separate ways. One went back to the hotel, and the other went straight to the darkest area of ​​Haibin City.

It is the darkest corner of the seaside city, with the worst housing conditions and the most unsanitary environment, forming a refuge exclusively for the poor.

They traveled in silence all the way. Strange noises were heard from the darkness on both sides of the road from time to time, and all kinds of meaningless looks and gazes were cast on Ma Hongjun.

However, when they turned their eyes and saw that the person who brought him in was Wu Juanjuan, the people hiding in the darkness closed their eyes at the same time, pretending nothing had happened.

Wu Juanjuan is a good child and there is no need to worry about the people she brings with her.

Gazing at the enchanting figure in front of him, and realizing that her ease didn't seem fake, Ma Hongjun hesitated to speak.

'Why? ’

Why, with your appearance you are qualified to live in a better place, but you are willing to live in the deepest part of the slum.

Why, when the Empire has strictly prohibited the slave trade, you were watching those masked guys in the auction house talking and laughing loudly?

Even with a mask on, the man named Qi Tao had his own unique presence.

After all, he is probably the only one in Seaside City who can tell dirty jokes while sitting in the red area that symbolizes status.

Ma Hongjun still remembered that 31 female slaves had come on stage one after another, and more than half of them were bought by Qi Tao after he saw them at first sight. Moreover, he would go backstage as soon as he bought them, and no one knew what he was doing.

No, Ma Hongjun actually knew very well. Flower Tiger Dai Mubai was once his classmate, how could he not know why men look for women.

He now has too many doubts in his mind and urgently needs someone to answer them.

"you"

"you"

Wu Juanjuan suddenly turned her head and spoke at the same time as Ma Hongjun. Seeing Ma Hongjun's embarrassed expression, she chuckled and said, "You go first."

"Okay." Ma Hongjun nodded and asked the question he had been curious about: "Is it always like this at the auction?"

A hint of understanding flashed across Wu Juanjuan's eyes, and she nodded calmly.

Seeing her expression of indifference, Ma Hongjun felt a nameless fire of anger in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "But the Tiandou Empire has a clear decree prohibiting the slave trade."

"Yes, so what."

"The Empire's army, will they come to save this place?"

"Or, destroy this place?"

Ma Hongjun opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. The cruel truth was like a basin of cold water, directly extinguishing the anger in his heart.

Save? How? Who will save?
The Imperial Army?
Don't be silly. If the emperor's order was effective, the first place the imperial army would flatten would not be the Haibin City Auction House, but the Tiandou City Auction House.

Anyone familiar with the national conditions of Tiandou knows that, as the theoretical supreme commander of the empire, the emperors of Tiandou and even the entire Tiandou royal family were not powerful rulers.

It's not that they are keen on returning power to the people and are unwilling to hold power. It's that in the world of extraordinary power, the foundation of power comes from strength, and the foundation of strength comes from talent.

With the little bit of cultivation talent that the Xue family has, if they could have raised a Titled Douluo, the empire would not have been split into the Tianhun and Douluo empires ten thousand years later.

Therefore, despite their insufficient strength, successive emperors of the Xue family have successfully secured their position as the supreme ruler of the empire by balancing the interests of all parties, and have completely controlled Tiandou City and surrounding areas before their fighting power has expanded.

It sounds a bit like the third leader of a village. He is not strong enough to win the support of the people, so he can only keep dividing the village and separate the top cards that can win four against one.

In the end, they could only exchange one for one with their poor relatives living in the desert next door.

If the person he was trading one for one with was not mentally ill, and the protagonist's halo was too powerful, he would probably die with his eyes wide open, without even the chance to leave behind a famous saying.

Faced with such a powerless ruler, it would be difficult for any city-state with a bit of power to respect the royal family.

It won’t be higher than level 70, which will really give others the illusion that “I can do it too”.

If the Tiandou Empire loses the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect one day, it will surely be divided and destroyed in civil strife.

Therefore, those cities that are very far away from Tiandou City can almost be said to be a country within a country as long as there are strong enough families in the local area.

Nominally it belongs to the Tiandou Empire and will obey the Empire's instructions, but it still retains a great deal of autonomy internally, making it difficult for the Empire to get involved.

The emperor may be dissatisfied, but as long as you pay enough protection fees and taxes every year, who cares what your city is like now?

Is it that the ball is not fun, or is it that the noble lady with the sweet smile is not pretty?

It was precisely because he had thought all of this through that Ma Hongjun was unable to make such a promise lightly.

Wu Juanjuan stood on tiptoe and turned around gracefully. Even in the dim slums, the moonlight from the sky illuminated the flying hem of her skirt, which was extremely beautiful.

"Am I pretty?"

"Beautiful." Ma Hongjun nodded seriously, trying to appreciate Wu Juanjuan's dancing with his poor aesthetic sense.

This version of Ma Hongjun is not interested in women, but he has eyes that can discover beauty. He can pat his chest to guarantee that Wu Juanjuan can also be ranked in the middle level in Tiandou Royal Academy.

Don't underestimate the mid-level level of Tiandou Royal Academy. They are the best of the best who are both nobles and soul masters, and they have plenty of ways to improve their appearance.

After turning around several times, Wu Juanjuan's forehead was slightly sweaty. She smiled and said to Ma Hongjun: "Little brother, although I am just an ordinary person, I have seen all kinds of people in the auction house, and I can more or less read your thoughts."

"You think I should leave here and live a better life, right?"

Ma Hongjun nodded.

"You are still too young."

Wu Juanjuan chuckled. She had seen it clearly in the supervisor's office just now. As long as the item on the stage was a slave, Ma Hongjun's anger would show on his face without disguising it.

If Gu You hadn't been using various means to scare Qi Langhai, he would probably have been the focus of Qi Langhai's attention.

"Learn more from the emissary of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and don't show your thoughts to others." Wu Juanjuan reminded Ma Hongjun, "You have a family who loves you, a teacher who cares about you, and classmates who care about you. But you have to know that this world is not that simple."

"Happiness and justice are not pie in the sky. Everyone has their own concerns."

Having said this, Wu Juanjuan lowered her eyes.

She once had a happy family, but unfortunately her father disappeared in a storm, and her mother became seriously ill due to missing her father too much. The burden of the family fell entirely on her thin shoulders.

She is trying her best now, but she can only barely maintain her civilian status.

Her mother was her last relative, so she could not give up on saving her mother. At the same time, she dared not slack off. Once she slacked off, the family would definitely fall below the bottom line, and she and her sick mother would degenerate into slaves who were not even human beings.

Stopping in front of a dilapidated door, Wu Juanjuan said softly: "Thank you for sending me back. Please also express my gratitude to that gentleman on my behalf. I will always remember his kindness."

Hearing the faint cough coming from the house, Ma Hongjun, who understood Wu Juanjuan's concerns, shut his mouth.

".Um."

He took the initiative to extend his right hand, and seeing this, Wu Juanjuan also took the initiative to extend her right hand. The two hands shook vigorously, and Ma Hongjun said nothing more and turned around to leave the slum.

"Goodbye."

Cinderella's magic disappeared at twelve o'clock. She whispered her final farewell to the receding figure. Wu Juanjuan opened the door and said, "Mom, I'm back."

"Ahem, welcome back."

The mother lying on the bed keenly noticed that her daughter was no longer as gloomy as before, and asked: "What good things happened today?"

Looking down at the two extra gold soul coins in her palm, Wu Juanjuan smiled and said, "Well, Mom, I met three new friends."

If it's the three of them, it's okay to call themselves friends.

"Really?" The mother smiled with relief: "That's great."

"Ah."

When Ma Hongjun returned to the hotel, it was already very late. He wanted to ask Gu You some questions, but he didn't want to disturb him, so he decided to go back to his room to take a shower and sleep.

In the seaside city late at night, except for the city lord's mansion, the fighting arena and the auction house which were still brightly lit, everywhere else had fallen into darkness like a slum.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Langhai told his eldest brother, whom he had not seen for a long time, everything that happened in the auction house in detail. It was up to him to decide how the Qi family should face Gu You, the prince's envoy, next.

"The Xue family's token, the Crown Prince's messenger."

Qi Xiaofeng, the head of the Qi family, who has a similar figure to Qi Langhai but a much more handsome face, and is also the lord of Haibin City, fell into deep thought.

Because of the long journey, Qi Jia did not have a complete grasp of what happened in Tiandou City. However, with his intelligence, he could probably analyze what kind of person "Xue Qinghe" was based on the information he knew so far.

The conservatives, who were mild-mannered in the past, took advantage of the riots caused by Haotian Douluo in the city to show their radical nature for the first time, and pulled the incompetent Xue Ye off the throne and sat on it themselves.

"I never thought that our Qi family, living in a remote corner, would have the honor of appearing on Emperor Xue Qinghe's list."

"Big brother?"

Qi Xiaofeng's words made Qi Langhai's face turn pale instantly. All kinds of horrific scenes flashed through his mind and he showed a look of horror.

List? What list? A liquidation list?
In other words, one day in the future, our small Qi family will have a head-on collision with that monster Golong?

"calm down."

Qi Xiaofeng, who knew his brother's character well, was speechless. He said helplessly: "It's not the kind of list you think, but a list of nobles that he thinks can be won over."

The first priority for the new emperor who defeated Xue Ye and seized power is naturally to build his own team in order to better control the empire.

Most of the prominent nobles in Tiandou City are related to Xue Ye. From his point of view, in order to compete with him, Xue Qinghe must win over the nobles outside Tiandou City.

The young strong man mentioned by Qi Langhai should be the scout ordered by Xue Qinghe to investigate the Qi family. As long as he is satisfied, the Qi family may have a place in Tiandou City.

I heard that the Li clan, which had close ties with the Haotian Sect, had been ordered to be wiped out by Xue Qinghe. That deserted clan land seemed to be a good place to plant the Qi family's flag.

"Langhai, you did a great job."

It was a rare opportunity to praise his useless brother, so Qi Xiaofeng ordered: "Since he likes women, go back and pick out 20 virgins that no one has ever used and send them to him."

"Remember, each must have their own style, don't just fill in the gaps."

Gu You’s disguise really worked. The head of the Qi family, who had controlled the seaside city for many years, also had the illusion that he was an old pervert.

Fortunately, there is no cosplay in Douluo Continent, otherwise which Duel King could resist cosplaying as the Black Magic Girl, the big sister of Silver City and other girls other than the mermaids.

In addition, Qi Xiaofeng also ordered: "Then prepare a soul guide with 200,000 gold soul coins, and two martial soul cards with 100,000 gold soul coins each."

"be quick."

As long as he is a man, he will always like one of the two: money, power and sex. The Qi family cannot give him power, so they use both money and sex to make the envoy obedient.

"This"

Qi Langhai hesitated for a moment, and Qi Xiaofeng roared, "Don't think I don't know what you did. Go and get ready!"

"Tell that rebellious son to get up from his bed immediately and tell him that I have a mission for him."

"And you," Qi Xiaofeng instructed the guards at the door, "The family's honor cannot be lost. If she is not taken away, you know what to do."

The guard nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

At the same time, Gu You, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, walked out of the room quietly, and then climbed onto the roof using his hands and feet.

Looking towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, Gu You stroked his chin and said with interest: "There shouldn't be any soul bones. Let me guess, beauties and money?"

".nonsense."

Nightingale, who had been waiting here for a long time, rolled her eyes and wanted to sigh, but she held it back because she couldn't slack off during work hours.

"Protect her. She is the most important key to transformation."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Nightingale disappeared instantly. Dugu Bo, who was standing further behind and watching everything silently, let out a long sigh.

"Gu You, you can."

"Of course I can, old poison."

Interrupting Dugu Bo's words, Gu You's eyes, which were staring at the City Lord's Mansion, turned into bright golden vertical pupils without him noticing.

"The stage is set. Even the lowest dung can be used as compost, right?"
