The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1058 - 411: The Rose Princess_3

"What is this meat? Why is it so dark and looks so evil? It seems like it’s cursed..."

While speaking, the captain of the soldiers quietly stuffed the ring he had just mentioned, along with the previously received benefits, all back into Ye Hanjun’s coat pocket.

Ye Hanjun pursed his lips and smiled gently.

Of course, he couldn’t tell the other party that this was a piece of flesh that Mo had shed after enjoying himself. He could only vaguely respond:

"We cannot trace the origin of the beast meat, but it can be asserted that this piece might be a remnant of Divine Enthronement, possessing enormous value."

"Unfortunately, this piece of meat contains an extremely strong destructive power, only certain creatures can control it."

"Hearing that nobles purchase various rare ingredients, we came here with the idea of giving it a try, not knowing whether the steward would like to buy it, the price is negotiable..."

"Willing! Naturally willing!"

The captain of the soldiers cleared his throat and solemnly took out an even smaller "communication flower" from his chest, his tone suddenly submissive, like a wagging dog:

"Brother Monkey, a big merchant has arrived!"

"He has a piece of extraordinary meat, it must be personally appraised by the steward, you must inform him."

"What kind of meat is so exaggerated?"

From the other end of the communication flower, an impatient voice came through, along with the panting of several beastmen women.

"It involves divinity!"

The captain of the soldiers looked left and right, dismissed other soldiers, and spoke in a very low voice.

"What?!"

The clear echo of a cup being overturned, the shaking of the bed, a woman’s scream... A few seconds later, the transmitted voice became stern:

"Let him in, the steward will wait for him in the reception hall on the first floor."

"By the way, who else knows? Go call Lawyer Shengyan to seal the lips, no leaking of news!"

"Yes!"

The captain of the soldiers, wiping his cold sweat, nodded and bowed repeatedly. Finally, he hurriedly opened the door, respectfully inviting Ye Hanjun and Ye Yin in.

"Um, how should I address you two?"

"Bai Wuque, Hei Wuyue."

"Great names!"

The captain of the soldiers seized the opportunity to lavish praise, one moment talking about the brevity of life, the next moment offering soothing words, almost treating them like deities.

"That is, two bosses, please don’t mention to the steward that you’ve been waiting at the door for nearly a day!"

"That master has a very hard temper. Once he knows about this, I will not only lose my job but also my life might be in danger... This is just a little token, please accept it."

Ye Hanjun and Ye Yin looked at each other, pondering over the millennia-old Spiritual Medicine in their arms.

"Rest assured, we will keep our mouths shut."

"But brother, we are merchants, making money is fundamental."

"We’ve heard rumors that the Hai Xiong Clan has unpredictable moods, we are actually very worried, unsure whether we should go through with this trade..."

Ye Hanjun showed an uneasy expression, the captain of the soldiers immediately patted his chest and promised:

"For enemies, we naturally eradicate them completely!"

"But for traders like you, stepping into our territory, even if we cannot reach cooperation, leaving safely is the minimal guarantee!"

"Phew! Then we can easily handle this!"

Ye Hanjun feigned relief, probing:

"I heard you captured remnants of the Ghost Lamp, recently needing a lot of rare ingredients to entertain guests from the Divine Maiden Tribe."

"I wonder what’s the background of this Ghost Lamp remnant, to receive such attention from the Hai Xiong Clan, this is really curious."

"You don’t know about this?"

The captain of the soldiers shook off his nervous heart, generously said:

"That is the Ming Lamp Night Clan, once a top-ranked super Divine Clan!"

"Their ancestors included undefeated Crown Rank figures, and there have recently been rumors that even a second Crown Rank has emerged!"

"Ah? That’s terrifying... then how does the Hai Xiong Clan dare to provoke them?"

Ye Hanjun’s acting was on point, briefly revealing panic, the captain of the soldiers immediately reassured:

"Living Crown Ranks and deceased ones don’t hold the same concept."

"Several regional rulers have speculated, Ghost Lamp self-sealed with the Crown Rank disappearing likely due to massive problems."

"The Ye Clan is still walking on the brink of extinction, now merely struggling in their last throes."

"They once sat high up, almost at the end of the clouds, overlooking heaven and earth."

"Now fallen from the altar, like rats crossing the street, everyone wants to strike, don’t you find it satisfying?"

The captain of the soldiers burst out a hearty laugh, unaware that at the bottom of Ye Hanjun’s and Ye Yin’s drooping eyes, there was a hint of barely perceptible mockery.

"About this person, I don’t know too much."

"You should also not continue to inquire. Knowing too much does you no good."

The captain of the soldiers paused his steps, pointing at a metal door ahead, and said with a smile:

"Here, this is the reception hall."

"Two bosses, have a good trade, as long as your goods possess sufficient value, our steward will surely offer a substantial reward, I can assure you of that!"

As his words fell, the folding metal door slowly opened.

The captain of the soldiers immediately closed his mouth, crossing his arms in front of his chest, and performed a solemn salute.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me in."

A young girl from the Foxkin Clan, holding a fruit tray, bowed slightly.
