Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

As soon as he finished speaking, loud applause rang in Chu Yunfan's ears. Xu Tianlong, full of praise, stared at Chu Yunfan and said:

"What a wonderful statement: Humanity will never be enslaved!"

"Based on this one sentence alone, you deserve my approval!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan replied:

"Steward Xu, you flatter me. This is merely the most basic understanding of a human!"

At this moment, Chu Yunfan had calmed down and began to think things through.

So, Chu Yunfan asked a question.

“Deacon Xu, you previously said that the human race and the demon race should join forces to fight against the demon race.”

"Now, the human race is so heavily involved in the slave trade of demons and orcs. Won't this affect the cooperation between humans and demons?"

As soon as Chu Yunfan said this, Xu Tianlong burst out laughing, his laughter carrying a hint of mockery.

"Do you think that cooperation between humans and demons means they have a good relationship?"

No, you are wrong!

This is simply driven by self-interest.

In places you can't see, humans are merely food for demons, and beautiful human women become playthings for demons.

Moreover, humans treat beautiful female slaves relatively gently.

But what will become of the human beauties who fall into the hands of the demon race!

As for the orcs, they were neither human nor demon; nobody cared whether they lived or died!

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan's mind raced with a thousand thoughts, which ultimately coalesced into a single sentence.

"The law of the jungle prevails; the strong are respected!"

Upon realizing this, Chu Yunfan finally emerged from his heavy mood, and his expression became relieved.

Whether it's out of pity for others or to avoid becoming a slave oneself.

From beginning to end, there was only one thing he wanted to do: to keep getting stronger until he became the strongest!

The observant Huang Tianlong naturally noticed Chu Yunfan's change in form and secretly admired him.

"A strong mind is an essential quality for becoming a strong person!"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Tianlong said to Chu Yunfan:

"Alright, let's not talk about these heavy topics."

You are a prodigy of humanity, destined for a bright future!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Tianlong changed the subject and spoke again:

"Come on, follow me around and see if there are any slaves you like."

If you have any, I can personally arrange to send you a batch!

After saying that, Xu Tianlong strode forward.

However, Chu Yunfan stood still and did not follow, but instead refused.

"I appreciate Deacon Xu's kindness."

However, I still find it hard to accept treating living, breathing lives like commodities to be selected!

After saying that, Chu Yunfan turned and left the underground space.

However, at that moment, Xu Tianlong suddenly said something.

“These slaves, if you don’t choose them, will always be bought by someone else.”

I can tell that you are a kind person.

These slaves, at least, can live a decent life by following you.

If it is bought by someone else, then its fate is unknown.

In other words, this is your chance to save these slaves. Are you really going to give it up?

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan's right foot, which had just been raised, instantly fell back to the ground.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yunfan decided to follow Xu Tianlong.

Subsequently, at Xu Tianlong's kind invitation, Chu Yunfan took a total of fifty slaves away from here.

Most of them were lion-men and tiger-men, and Chu Yunfan planned to train them as guards.

The remaining fox women, snake women, and cat women were intended to be used as maids by Chu Yunfan.

One of them was a fox girl, a pure fox clan member, and possessed a trace of the bloodline of a nine-tailed celestial fox. She not only had high talent for cultivation, but also perfectly inherited the intelligence of the fox clan.

Most importantly, this fox spirit, due to her noble bloodline, although only at the level of a half-step demon king, was already able to completely transform into human form, indistinguishable from a human.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan chose her and planned to make her his housekeeper.

When selecting these slaves, Chu Yunfan thought of something.

That is, it's ultimately not appropriate for him to live in the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce by relying on the fat man's connections.

Of course, most importantly, Chu Yunfan realized that since he came to Qingyun Continent, he had either lived in Qingyun Sword Sect or in other people's homes, and had never truly had a home that was entirely his own.

With these slaves, he could buy property in Qingyun Sword City and have a home that truly belonged to him.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfan led the group of slaves away from the arena.

However, Chu Yunfan did not return to the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, but instead went to an area in the eastern part of Qingyun Sword City.

Previously, when selecting slaves, Chu Yunfan had already contacted Fatty and asked him to choose a quiet courtyard for him to live in.

Faced with Chu Yunfan's request, the fat man naturally did not hesitate and immediately arranged a superior courtyard for Chu Yunfan.

This courtyard, named Qingyou Courtyard, is located in the eastern part of Qingyun Sword City.

Not long after, Chu Yunfan led fifty slaves to the secluded courtyard.

As soon as Chu Yunfan entered the courtyard, the fat man's smiling, round face appeared before him.

"See? Are you satisfied?"

The fat man, hands on his hips and looking smug, led Chu Yunfan on a stroll through the courtyard.

The courtyard is very large, with many rooms, and it can comfortably house over a thousand people.

Moreover, it has everything: pavilions, terraces, artificial hills and lakes, gardens and waterside pavilions, meditation sites, and secret chambers.

Most importantly, this place is located in the quietest area of ​​the entire Qingyun Sword City, which suits Chu Yunfan's taste perfectly.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan immediately took a liking to this place.

"Such a nice courtyard, it must be expensive, right?"

After touring the courtyard, Chu Yunfan thought of this question.

The fat man simply shook his head and replied casually:

"It's not expensive, only ten million low-grade spirit stones. Consider it a gift from me!"

In fact, in the Qingyun Sword City where every inch of land is precious, this quiet little courtyard is worth at least one billion low-grade spirit stones.

However, this courtyard originally belonged to the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce.

Chu Yunfan also has a Zijin membership card, which gives him a 50% discount.

In addition, as the top genius in the inner sect competition of Qingyun Sword Sect, Chu Yunfan receives a certain subsidy from the city lord's mansion when he buys property in Qingyun Sword City.

In summary, Chu Yunfan only needs to pay ten million low-grade spirit stones.

Given the relationship between Fatty and Chu Yunfan, Fatty naturally wouldn't ask Chu Yunfan to accept a mere ten million low-grade spirit stones.

However, Chu Yunfan had already received a lot of help from the fat man at the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, so he naturally wouldn't let the fat man suffer a loss now.

So, Chu Yunfan took out a storage ring and handed it to the fat man, saying:

"There are ten million low-grade spirit stones in here, which is just enough to cover the price of this secluded courtyard!"

Upon seeing this, the fat man immediately wanted to return the ten million low-grade spirit stones to Chu Yunfan.

However, Chu Yunfan firmly stopped him.

"If you consider me a friend, then accept the spirit stones."

"This is, after all, the property of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, not yours personally. If I take it for free, your subordinates in the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, even if they don't say it, will still have a bad influence!"

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, the fat man had no choice but to obediently accept the spirit stones.

However, the fat man quickly came up with a new idea and said to Chu Yunfan:

"The people behind you lack specialized training and cannot be used directly."

Later, I'll arrange for a group of people to come and train you. You won't refuse, will you?
