Chapter 799.
When entering the city, Wang Dust encountered trouble.
The gates of Taiwu City were extremely tall and thick, while small doors were opened underneath the gates for merchants and pedestrians to enter and exit.
There were heavily armed warriors guarding both inside and outside the city gates, checking the passersby coming and going.
There was no need to pay any fees to enter the city, but outsiders like Wang Chen were subjected to a rather strict inspection.
“Open your package.”
A samurai expressionlessly pointed at the package Wang Dust was carrying.
Wang Dust hesitated for a moment, but removed his own package and opened it, and the white fox hidden inside immediately revealed its head.
Clang!
The city guard warrior was startled and subconsciously drew the long sword at his waist.
“What is it?”
The several warriors next to him reacted quickly and immediately gathered around, leering at Wang Dust.
Wang Dust didn’t move and stroked the little fox’s head, saying, “Don’t panic, gentlemen, this is my beast’s pet, White Fox, raised from a young age and familiarized with it.”
The White Fox cooperated with “Oing” a few times and pressed its face tightly against Wang Chen’s palm.
A harmless and adorable appearance.
The warriors put down their hearts and put away their weapons.
The martial artist in charge of inspecting Wang Dust frowned and said, “There are rules in Taiwu City, privately kept beast pets must be registered in the registry, or else they will be tackled and killed as feral animals, remembering that it’s your first time here you’ll be let off for now, but be sure to go to the Chief Secretary’s Office to get it done.”
Wang Dust nodded: “Understood.”
The warrior waved his big hand, “Go in.”
Wang Dust: “Many thanks.”
What Wang Dust didn’t expect was that he had just stepped through the wide doorway and hadn’t even taken a few steps into the city when someone came up behind him, “Your Excellency, please stay!”
Wang Dust stopped his steps in confusion, “What is it?”
The other party was a well-mannered middle-aged man, only to hear him say with a smile, “The white fox that Your Excellency keeps is very interesting, my master was quite happy to see it just now, I don’t know if Your Excellency is willing to part with it?”
He actually wanted to buy the white fox!
Wang Dust shook his head and said, “I can’t part with what I love, sorry.”
After saying that he was about to walk away, only to be stopped by the other party again, “Your Excellency, the price is negotiable, how about three thousand jade coins?”
The middle-aged man raised three fingers in an undeterred manner, with an expression that said, “You’ve made a big profit.”
A soft cry rang out around them, and many people looked at Wang Chen with envy in their eyes.
The scene of Wang Chen negotiating with the city guard warriors because of the white fox just now was seen by many people, and everyone did not expect that someone would actually offer three thousand jade coins to buy a beast pet at such a sky-high price.
But Wang Dust was impatient: “Not for sale!”
What he hated the most was such pestering guys.
The middle-aged man was swept off his face in public, and immediately sank his face in displeasure: “Your Excellency knows ……”
As a result, before he finished speaking, Wang Chen’s figure had already disappeared in front of him.
The middle-aged man rubbed his eyes incredulously, and then looked left and right to look for something to no avail, and finally only returned to a luxurious carriage parked by the roadside unhappily.
“Master.”
He warily reported, “That person refused to sell and has now run away.”
“What a waste!”
A shrill voice came out from the carriage, “This white fox looks very spiritual, Miss Shangguan is bound to like it, I don’t care what method you use, you must find the person out, otherwise ……”
“Carry your own head and come back to see me again!”
The middle-aged man lowered his head, “Yes!”
And at this moment, Wang Chen, who didn’t know that someone actually saw Hu Jiaojiao as a must-have, was following the bustling crowd as he walked on the main road of this city.
Taiwu City was the number one city in the Misty Mountain Realm, not only was it the largest city, it also had the largest population.
It was said that there were millions of people living in a hundred mile radius inside and outside the city!
Wang Chen had only heard of Taiwu’s reputation earlier, but today, he was able to truly appreciate its prosperity and flourishing.
And the people here, whether they were the merchants, city folk, farmers, or the fellows and maids standing in front of the stores yelling to solicit customers, all of them were full of vigor and spirit.
The proportion of martial artists was extremely high.
Along the way, Wang Chen perceived several Houtian experts!
In other cities, a Houtian expert was a top role after the city lord, but it was very unusual in Taiwu City.
Yao Lao told Wang Chuan that those cultivators who had transcended the mortal world and entered the Dao rarely settled in the city, most of them opened up caves in the depths of the Taiwu Mountain to cultivate, and a few of them had established large sects.
Unlike Chibi City, where the power structure was quite simple, the pattern in Taiwu City was very complicated, with the government offices, clans, families, and martial arts centers intertwined with each other, and the entanglements between them were extremely deep.
However, Wang Chuan did not come here to conquer this city, once he found the Xuan Fox Order, he and Hu Jiaojiao were definitely going to leave, so he did not care much about these things.
For Wang Chen, the most important thing at the moment was to find a place to land.
This matter was quite simple, because the commerce in Taiwu City was extremely developed, and there were a large number of dental agents, Wang Dust found a home and inquired, and soon rented a nice set of mansion in the east area of the city.
This set of house area is not big, but also has a front yard, main room, room, kitchen, etc., sparrow is small, all the organs, furniture and furnishings have everything.
Just the high rent is staggering, it is more than ten times that of the same mansion in Chibi City!
But Wang dust where lies this “small money”, immediately with the teeth and the landlord signed a deed, once paid a year’s rent.
When he left Red Cliff City, Wang Chuan carried a lot of purple gold coins.
If he didn’t have a storage device and couldn’t take away Yao Lao’s secret treasury, it would have been easy to buy a bigger mansion than this one, not to mention renting a room.
In the future, when Wang Chen returned to Haotian Realm, he would not be able to bring these coins back, so naturally, it would not hurt him at all to spend them.
Seeing Wang Dust’s generosity, the Toothman’s heart was happy and asked, “Your honor, do you need a servant in the mansion? I can open up a few capable handymen and maids over for you.”
“No need.”
Wang Chen threw the other party a purple gold coin, “This is a reward for you.”
After dismissing the toothman, Wang Dust closed the door to the room and walked around inside and out to look at it again.
It was considered to have truly settled down.
Yao Lao suddenly said, “Kid, there is one of my secret vaults in this city, do you want to take a look?”
He purposely emphasized, “The biggest one!”
Wang Chen instantly became interested, “Are there any pills that can help Jiao Jiao raise her rank?”
Yao Lao: “There are no pills, but there are definitely herbs!”
That’s good!
Wang Dust immediately clapped, “We’ll go and take a look tomorrow.”
The next moment, the white fox that had followed Wang Dust around leapt into his arms and rubbed its head affectionately.
Wang Dust gently caressed the fox’s tail, thinking in his heart that the Xuan Fox Order did not know where it fell into the hands of someone, and when he could let the little fox in his arms perceive it again.
