Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 259 A Bone Woman Who Sold Her Father to Bury Him (12)

"Sir, please rest for a while. The carriage outside will be cleaned for you by a specialist."

"Okay, thank you." Xia Youmi calmly replied. The larch tree had been stored in a cliff cave by Xia Youmi before entering Shun'an Town.

The carriage had also been modified, so that it was basically impossible to tell that it was a spirit.

She wanted to pretend to be an ordinary person and first figure out the hidden rules of this mountain range.

They only said they had just arrived at the inn.

Before she even went out to investigate, Xia Youmi's perception of this place had completely changed.

According to intelligence, although there are many demon cultivators here, they are all very good at hiding themselves and mostly cultivate deep in the mountains, without disturbing humans.

But no one has ever said that half-demon roam this place!

Moreover, they only did the simplest covering and were doing their normal business.

Based on the rumors I've heard along the way about the decreasing number of half-demons among the spirits, it's likely that they've concentrated here to create a half-demon paradise.

evening.

"Miss Mi, there will be a lively market event in the city tonight. It's very interesting. Would you like me to accompany you for a stroll?" Fox Xiao Er blinked his eyes, looking very obedient.

Xia Youmi had just been served dinner, taken a bath, and changed into clean clothes.

Then I saw her personal waiter smiling and recommending the next item.

But it suited her just fine.

It was definitely not Fox Xiao Er's seductive glances that made her interested in the market.

Let's go take a look!

"Please come in!" Fox Xiao Er bowed, carrying a nice basket on his back.

It seemed as if he was preparing to carry the things she might buy later on his back. Looking at the hemp basket with its ropes crisscrossing across her chest, Xia Youmi couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"Little Bean has already fallen asleep. We've invited a masseur to give it a massage!" Fox Xiao Er mentioned as they passed the stable.

"this......"

"This is the treatment you should receive in a superior room; you don't need to pay any extra money."

"Okay." Xia Youmi felt the purse in her arms getting hot. She made up her mind to see if there were any ways to make money outside.

She really enjoyed this.

But I can't spend Xiao Zhong's money.

She's just too lazy to worry about money; it's not that she's incompetent.

“Miss Mi, thanks to the wise and powerful Lord of the City, Anle City has been peaceful for nearly thirty years. At night, no household needs to close its doors, and no one will have any evil intentions.”

"There's a market here at night, selling all sorts of treasures. It's a time for everyone to show off their skills." Fox Xiao Er was half a step behind Xia Youmi. His voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough to be heard.

"How should I address you?" Xia Youmi was genuinely curious; she had never seen such a proper address before.

Furthermore, she is a half-demon.

Didn't the outside world say that half-demons were worthless trash with dirty blood? Unable to cultivate, tormented by both the human and demon realms, and weak, self-conscious, ugly, and incomplete?

The person in front of me is clearly sunny and cheerful, with exceptional eloquence, and adept at making the most of his strengths.

And it's not annoying at all.

"My name is Fox!"

"Fooling?"

"Haha! It's the sound of deer crying out 'yoyo'."

"That's unique. Have you studied the Book of Songs?" Xia Youmi asked with a smile.

"I've studied it, but I'm not very good at writing it." Fox scratched his head, making a slight noise from inside his hat.

"That's great too. It's lucky to have the opportunity to study."

In this world, ordinary spirits and monsters don't spend time reading, because their cultivation time is precious. Half-demons have even less of a chance; they are in a lower social class. But here, being able to read seems quite normal.

"We are very lucky, thanks to the city lord!" Fox You said with deep reverence when she mentioned the city lord.

"Lord of the city, what brilliant decision did he make?"

"All the citizens of Anle City, as long as they are willing to stay here, will have the opportunity to study at the schools established under Huai Academy. They don't even need to pay tuition; they can simply stay in the city, develop the community, and maintain order." Hu You's expression was filled with gratitude, reminiscence, and satisfaction.

Compared to her usual alluring smile, hers had a touch more clean and simple quality.

"Hehuai Academy, the very famous one?" Xia Youmi did have an impression of this academy. In fact, the group of students she met at the Duancha Tea House in Shun'an Town were very likely from this Hehuai Academy.

"Indeed! The academy is renowned throughout the land, and our instructors are the academy's outstanding students. They are all very kind people, and they will not slack off in their teaching just because ordinary people do not pass the imperial examinations."

"I see! It seems this is a good place!"

"Many distinguished guests have stayed here for a while and bought houses, and they don't want to leave!"

"It seems this is a blessed land!"

Xia Youmi couldn't help but feel a little curious about the city lord that Hu You kept mentioning.

She wandered around aimlessly, and before she even reached the night market, she had already seen countless shop assistants, accountants, and managers, each with their own unique characteristics and expressions; almost all of them were half-demon.

The city lord is either a half-demon or someone extremely friendly to half-demons.

It not only solves employment issues, but also provides the best resources for education.

Everyone truly loves and respects the city lord.

"How old is your city lord?" Xia Youmi looked at Hu You, wanting to see its eyes.

"City Lord... I don't know, but he should be close to fifty, right? It's said that when you first took office, you were only in your twenties, and now thirty years have passed. Although you are still vigorous and full of life, you should be around that age." Fox You's eyes showed uncertainty, but he still answered Xia Youmi earnestly.

"The people are fortunate to have such a city lord!"

"You're right!"

Based on the timeline and the legends surrounding the half-demon trend, Xia Youmi guessed that this city lord was the genius who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He single-handedly tore open a path for survival for his half-demon realm, separating it from the human and demon realms.

Unfortunately, ten years later, it disappeared from places including Gangu City.

But the impact remained.

It is said that in the past, some people, for the sake of curiosity and amusement, would deliberately capture monsters and have them mate with humans, and the resulting half-demons would be treated like prisoners.

Just because half-demons have the characteristics of monsters and are not considered human, they lose their humanity and can disregard living beings, using them for amusement and enjoyment.

even,

It was a brutal and inhumane torment.

Pure spirits possess cultivation and, though unafraid of humans, can excel in one-on-one combat. However, when it comes to collective knowledge and understanding, they ultimately cannot rival humans.

Over the years, in the Tree Spirit Grandpa's mind, he would save people if he could, and he would do good deeds whenever he encountered difficulties.

No matter how much more we do, we are powerless to fight for the half-demon.

After all, racial barriers cannot be overcome unless we stand up for ourselves.

Otherwise, occasional acts of kindness and superficial help will not change their lives.

But the city lord did it!

It not only preserved the flame, providing a home for countless half-demons burdened with misfortune and unable to choose their birth, but also taught them to be cheerful, generous, and live well, allowing them to utilize their talents and making it needed.

What's most remarkable is that there wasn't much word about it from the outside world.

Their unity created an information gap, giving them time to become stronger.

If Xia Youmi wasn't mistaken, her arrival was actually permitted after a screening process.

The documents purchased from the half-demon merchant were invitations to enter this place.
