Chapter 90 Strolling
Ten minutes later, Wu Zongyue, Wu Yeyu and Liang Xiaotao were escorted out of the first auction by Manager Wen Yuansheng and the old man. Except for Wu Yeyu's elixir which did not need to be tested again, the auction venue would strongly recommend it at that time. A special supreme private room was also arranged for the three of them to use on the day of the auction. As for the commission, it was proactively reduced from 5% to 3%, which is absolutely the lowest in Linbo City, if not the entire Daxia Empire. This can't help but make one sigh.
Although Wu's family of three was arranged to stay in a luxurious hotel, they were politely declined by Wu Zongyue.
The rest of the time, Wu Yeru and his party didn't have the mind to stroll around anymore. After a long journey on horseback, although they were cultivators, they couldn't help but feel a bit tired mentally. They ate something on the road and hurried back to the inn, where the three of them slept soundly for a good while. Of course, Wu Yeru wasn't clear how others slept, but he himself sat on the bed practicing internal skills all night until the next morning.
"Cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you'll retreat. I'm a man with goals, how can I be like others, three days fishing and two days drying nets? Xi Yue that girl is still waiting for me to take her home, hum~" Wu Ye Yu slowly retracted his aura, checked the Golden Thunder Energy inside his body, and found that after a night of hard work, it had increased significantly. Unconsciously, he started to feel proud of himself, and a few points of smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It turns out that the golden lightning energy in Wu Ye Yu's body is different from his usual energy, not only has its power increased greatly, but also in terms of purity, it is much stronger than the vigor before advancing.
Because lightning itself is a very violent energy, if it's the same kind of energy, there's still a possibility of compatibility, but if different kinds of energy are added to the mix, it will be like pouring water into a pot of oil, causing a huge backlash of lightning energy. Only when everything has been completely eliminated can it be considered truly over. It's very exclusive, yes, that means it's highly exclusionary...
However, this golden lightning has a great advantage, that is, it can quickly convert heterogeneous energy into pure ability. Through the violent characteristics of lightning, heterogeneous energy is digested and then absorbed as pure ability to enhance one's own strength. Although it's just an extra step, it's also a step of purification, which makes Wu Yeru's lightning energy extremely pure and refined. Basically, Wu Yeru doesn't have to worry about the problem of impure energy in his body. Even if there is another accidental phenomenon of a large leap in realm... he can solidify his own realm in a short period of time.
But as the saying goes, good fortune and bad luck are intertwined, with benefits come drawbacks. Wu Yeru's golden lightning energy is no exception, its tolerance is very poor.
Although the golden lightning is extremely powerful and has a strong life energy, due to its own properties, this energy is obviously only compatible with Wu Yueru himself. For others, it's a different story. One can imagine that when Wu Yueru heals someone else's wounds by inputting his lightning energy into their body, it would be a terrifying scene. Not to mention the potential damage to their meridians, even their physical bodies might not be able to withstand it. Just think of the big black dog, which was electrocuted and fell to the ground when Wu Yueru unintentionally released his lightning energy from his eyes. So, for other humans, it would be a huge challenge. Therefore, being unable to heal others is one of Wu Yueru's weaknesses.
"Hmm, minor issues, I still have the system on me. Not to mention my own refined pills, even if things get really tough, I can just exchange for pills from the system later, right? It's not like it's a big deal or anything! I've got money! Wu Ye Yu stood by the window, looking out at the bustling street scene outside the door, but his heart was completely carefree. His two legs were shaking nonstop, and his round chin was raised high, exuding an aura of "who else but me?" as he quietly emanated an air of confidence, like he could buy up the entire Linbo City."
At this time, Liang Xiaotao happened to push the door in, holding a basin and towel in her hand, looking like she wanted to serve Wu Yeru washing up. Seeing her own young master's appearance, she couldn't help but let out a silvery laugh, making Wu Yeru feel embarrassed.
After washing up, Wu Yeru took Liang Xiaotao downstairs to finish breakfast, greeted Wu Zongyue, and went out for a stroll. Anyway, he had plenty of money on him, and there was also an ultra-large storage space, which seemed to be specially prepared for shopping sprees. Such good equipment would be wasted if not used.
Wu Yeru is ten years old, and Liang Xiaotao is eleven. They are both young kids, about 1 meter 45 centimeters tall. Compared to Wu Yeru, Liang Xiaotao is slightly taller, which makes Wu Yeru very dissatisfied. However, this is a problem of physical development and gender differences, and it seems that Wu Yeru doesn't have any good solution.
"Alas, it seems that cultivating anything is not omnipotent after all. It still can't compare to the stimulation of hormonal secretion in the body!"
Then Wu Yeyu pulled Xiao Tao to stroll around, relying on the advantage of being small in stature but strong in body, wherever there were many people, they would rush over, as if they didn't put the pedestrians on the street in their eyes. The passersby who were bumped into or disturbed by the two, although unhappy about being disturbed, turned their heads to look at the parties involved and found that they were two delicate and pretty half-grown children, wearing very expensive clothes, of course, they couldn't say anything, but instead smiled at them to show their friendliness, which really put them at a disadvantage.
Two people came to the street where small vendors and peddlers gathered, here in addition to selling snacks, toys and fruits, there were also many mobile traders who bought and sold miscellaneous goods, most of whom were hawkers, and some were mercenaries. The stalls were filled with all sorts of curious goods, which seemed to have a great attraction for both insiders and outsiders, so the street was crowded with people, all rubbing shoulders and treading on each other's heels.
At this time, Wu Yeru and Xiaotao had already grabbed a handful of snacks, with all sorts of treats like sugar people, roasted meat, and donkey rolling around. The tiger-headed hat masks were already on their heads. The two ate happily, Wu Yeru being generous with his hands, Xiaotao eating with relish, her four limbs and small feet constantly moving back and forth, quickly running between the various stalls, which was quite in line with the habits of children of this age.
Of course, this pair of naughty kids had already caught the attention of some people with ulterior motives. The thieves and pickpockets on the street had also taken notice of them several times, seeing how generous they were with their money and how extraordinary their clothes looked, and since it seemed like there was no one guarding them, these people naturally assumed that they were just two rich kids with no background, a perfect pair of fat lambs.
So pickpockets think of ways to swindle some pocket money from the two, and if they're lucky, they might even make a fortune. This type of kid is also their favorite target.
No matter who the skilled person was, in the end they all ended up with nothing. It's not that these pickpockets' skills were no good, but rather that these two kids had too much luck, at least from the pickpockets' point of view.
Every time the pickpocket's hand was about to touch the target's body, the target would suddenly change direction and quickly move away to another stall, narrowly avoiding the pickpocket. If not, the pickpocket might accidentally touch someone else, who were often ordinary passersby with little money on them, and sometimes even acquaintances.
There's no shortage of mercenaries with strength and martial arts skills, but compared to these pickpockets, they have a huge advantage. It was easy for them to discover that someone had an extra hand on their body, and those pickpockets couldn't avoid a severe beating. These mercenaries were ruthless, not to the point of cutting off hands or feet, but fractures, broken bones, and cracked ribs were inevitable. Without a year or two of recovery, they wouldn't be able to continue making a living from this trade.
Due to the heavy losses of the pickpockets for a while, the leader of the pickpocketing world on this street had no choice but to temporarily retreat and regroup.
"Sixth Master! Can't we just let it go like this? Those two bear kids have caused our brothers to suffer heavy losses, not to mention the ones who were injured. Even those who managed to escape quickly and weren't caught by the mercenaries are still seething with anger inside. We can't swallow this loss!" At this time, a pickpocket who had been covering his stomach and now had a black eye, was advising the pickpocket leader known as Sixth Master, trying to provoke him into taking action against Wu Ye and Yu.
"Hmph! What's the hurry, you little scamp? My brothers have suffered a loss, can't I see that? Am I, Sixth Master, just someone who swallows his anger and remains silent?" The middle-aged man glared at the person beside him, then said, "The reason we're retreating now is because there are too many bystanders on the main street, and those poor mercenaries are too numerous. Later on, it would be inconvenient for us to take action, and my brothers wouldn't have an easy time of it either. Hmph! Once these two kids leave the city gate and come to a more secluded area, won't we still be able to do as we please? At that time, you'll still have your chance for revenge, hmm?"
"Haha! Alright, alright! Sixth Master is wise indeed! I was too hasty and couldn't understand Sixth Master's meaning. Please don't blame me, don't blame me! Hehehe!"
……
Wu Ye Yu naturally discovered those pickpockets who were paying attention to themselves early on, but those ordinary people seemed weak in their own eyes. They had already discovered their ill intentions when they were still far away, so they pulled Xiao Tao and took a few quick steps to get somewhere else. Sometimes they even led the pickpockets' outstretched hands to other people's bodies, which was a way of teaching them a lesson.
Wu Yeyu was also dealing with these people with a playful and casual attitude, not taking them seriously. After seeing them off, they all retreated one after another, losing the thought of continuing to play. With Xiao Tao by her side, Wu Yeyu strolled around the streets for a while before turning to her and saying...
"Xiao Tao, later on, I'm going to the slave market to buy a few servants. Are you returning to the guest house or coming with me?" Wu Ye Yu asked this because he didn't want Xiao Tao to see those unpleasant scenes, after all, she was still innocent and naive.
"Young master wants to abandon me and go have fun by himself? I won't let you, okay?" Liang Xiaotao grasped Wu Yeyu's arm, her big eyes misty as she looked at him.
"Hey, young master, this isn't a trip for fun. The place I'm going to is not a good place either, it's a cruel slave market where people are bought and sold as slaves. When you see it, you'll definitely have nightmares, and who knows, you might even be left with psychological trauma. So it's better if you don't go, for your own good." Wu Yeyu looked up at Liang Xiaotao, who was slightly taller than him, and said with a hint of reluctance in his heart.
"No way! I'm going with you! No matter how bad it is over there, I'll accompany Young Master, and even if there's danger, Young Master will protect me, right? Take me with you!" Little Peach was clearly unwilling, shaking Wu Ye Yu's arm with both hands, coquettishly saying.
Wu Yeyu saw this, let out a light sigh and said: "Alas...alright! But I've warned you, if you go and see something unpleasant, don't blame me. This is your own decision to go, so go ahead!"
After finishing speaking, Wu Yeru pulled the jumping little peach and asked a few passing vegetable-buying kind old ladies before heading towards the slave market. Due to the crowded streets with people coming and going, no one noticed the few hiding figures in the distance.
