Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

For the impoverished, Juecheng is a city of dreams, a city of bones.

This is where the wealthiest people in the North Continent gather. All products from the entire North Continent can be found in this city. Trendiness and prosperity are the hallmarks of this city.

But at the same time, this city is also in danger of being attacked at any moment.

Because the four major families are here, they control more guns than the Federation. If anyone accidentally offends them, they will be shot in the head.

This is full of opportunities, but also full of dangers.

That's why outsiders call this the city of bones in a dream.

The northern suburbs of Juecheng are the largest slums, where people gather to clean themselves up every day before going to the city to do odd jobs to earn a living.

There are many large dormitory-style hotels here that cost 50 yuan a month.

Although these hotels are cheap, each small room is crammed with thirty bunk beds, so each room can house 60 guests.

The hotel offered very little: no pillows, only a thin quilt; the walls were peeling and covered in mold.

The room door could no longer be closed tightly; a stronger wind could blow it open.

Even in such a terrible hotel, the small rooms were packed with people. Men who had been busy all day walked into the rooms one after another, lying on the metal bunk beds with creaking sounds.

It's not a good time to take a bath in the dead of winter.

In dry weather, taking a shower will make your skin dry, cracked, and rough. Besides, the hotel does not provide shower services. Being able to wash your face is already the greatest favor the hotel owner can do for you.

therefore.

Imagine the stench when a group of grown men who haven't showered in a long time are crammed into a small room.

However, these poor people have become accustomed to living in such an environment every day, so they don't have much of a sense of smell.

The small room was soon filled with 60 people.

These people were chatting in twos and threes when suddenly someone said...

"Did you get the meat from that congee hotpot restaurant today?"

Since yesterday, Qiyuan's restaurant has become the most talked-about topic among the people in the slums.

Someone responded immediately.

"I received it. I swear, the beef from their restaurant is the best I've ever eaten. It's just that three slices are too thin and not enough to satisfy my craving."

"It's good enough to have something to eat. In all these years in Juecheng, restaurants would rather throw nearly expired meat into the trash and make us pick it up than give it to us at the restaurant entrance."

"Trying to get free food at the restaurant entrance? Those guys will come out with brooms and chase us away as soon as they see us standing there. Speaking of which, when we were queuing today, the owners of other shops looked at us with disdain, but they didn't dare to chase us away. Why is that?"

“They wouldn’t dare kick us out. That restaurant belongs to the Davis family. I’ve heard that it’s the restaurant of Mr. Noah’s male lovers. Mr. Noah is madly in love with his two male lovers. Before, Mr. Lennon of the Milne family injured one of his male lovers and had his arms and legs broken in the street. We’re eating meat from the Davis family’s restaurant. If they dare to kick us out, it’s the same as causing trouble for the Davis family.”

"I've met Mr. Noah's two male lovers. They are indeed good-looking, especially the boy from Dongzhou. He has black hair and black eyes, and his skin is so fair and tender, even smoother than a woman's. I want to taste what it's like to be with a man like that."

"The Lord will punish them!" Amid the discussion, a man suddenly spoke up angrily. His voice was loud and drowned out the others. "Same-sex love is not allowed, it's dirty, and they will definitely be punished by the Lord!"

"Does the Lord you're talking about even exist? Mr. Noah is the head of the Davis family, the richest man in the North Continent. If this is the Lord's punishment, then I'll find a man and let the Lord punish me." A voice responded jokingly.

The theocrat and the atheist suddenly started arguing, and the whole room became even noisier.

Only at the very back of the room, near the window, was a figure huddled together.

All the noise in the room was irrelevant to him; his mind was filled with the scene he had witnessed in the restaurant earlier that day, and his eyes reddened slightly.

He covered his head with the musty-smelling blanket and sobbed softly, "Why did you change your mind so quickly? Why..."

*****

The weather in Juecheng seemed to be a way of dispelling the rumor that people had heard on the day of the first snowfall that this year would be the coldest winter in Juecheng's history.

The sun has been shining for several days in a row, and there has been no wind, snow, or cold wind.

On such a fine day, Qi Yuan decided not to slack off and went to keep an eye on things at the restaurant for a while.

He arrived early.

The restaurant is not open yet.

There were quite a few people standing at the restaurant entrance.

Qi Yuan thought to himself: Is my hot pot restaurant that popular? There are already customers before I even open the door.

Unexpectedly, when Qi Yuan appeared at the restaurant entrance, everyone standing there looked at him.

"Look, the restaurant owner is here!"

Qi Yuan and Xiu were stunned for a moment. The two bodyguards standing behind them immediately stepped forward and, without anyone noticing, had their hands on guns pointing at the group of people who were about to rush over.

They were terrified when they saw the gun and froze on the spot.

The middle-aged man standing in the middle chuckled awkwardly and raised his hand. "We mean no harm. We just have some things we want to talk to Mr. Qi Yuan about. We are all shop owners here."

The man pointed to his shop.

Qi Yuan recognized the man as the owner of the grocery store next door and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask, Mr. Qiyuan, are you still setting up a tasting booth today?"

"You know how to arrange it, so what?" Qi Yuan asked.

The man's face immediately showed a troubled expression.

"Boss Qiyuan, please give us a way out."

"Yes, ever since you announced the tasting stall, people from the slums in the northern suburbs have been lining up every day. Their lines are so long that they've taken up all the space in front of our shop!"

"Those guys stank, and customers walk away as soon as they see them. These past two days have been the worst two days of business since our shop opened!"

There are many shops in Juecheng, and if people don't buy here, they will buy from other shops.

The people who can live in Juecheng are all those with some money in their pockets. They especially look down on the guys in the slums in the northern suburbs. It's one thing that they smell bad, but they feel that just standing three meters away from them lowers their own status.

Therefore, upon seeing the long line of homeless and impoverished people, those people would walk away from a distance.

Hearing everyone's complaints, Qi Yuan was surprised that his tasting stall had caused so much trouble for the nearby shops. He lowered his head and pondered.

Xiu, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "Ah Yuan, it seems that our tasting booth will have to close starting today, otherwise it will cause trouble for everyone."
