After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, the two continued to stroll leisurely along Guyuan Street.

"A demonic pet, a top-quality demonic pet... Come and take a look!"

The shouts caught Tong Guang's attention. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw five or six iron cages on a stall, each containing a small, exquisite kitten.

The little creatures had different colored fur, but without exception, they all had big, round eyes that looked fearful.

The stall owner was an elderly monk with gray hair and a thin build.

Tong Guang could sense the faint demonic power emanating from the kittens. Since they possessed demonic power, it proved that they had already developed intelligence.

Why would intelligent demons be sold like commodities?

Tong Guang looked at A Yu with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is a demon pet?"

Ayu sighed, "Those demons who have cultivated intelligence but have not taken human form are often used as a means of making a living by some cultivators with low cultivation levels because they are too weak."

"They captured these poor little demons and sold them, which is how the term 'demon pet' came about."

"What will happen to the demonic pets that are bought back?"

A touch of sadness appeared on Ayu's face! "The unfortunate demon pets that are bought will be cursed, forever retaining their original form, unable to absorb spiritual power, and will never be able to transform again. In the end, when their owners get tired of them, they will be discarded at will, left to fend for themselves."

Tong Guang frowned deeply. "Are the Demon Alliance and those powerful families just going to sit idly by and do nothing?"

Ayu let out a contemptuous laugh, her tone sarcastic: "If the Bureau were truly capable, how could something like this happen so blatantly here!"

"The so-called rules are nothing more than rules set up by those high and mighty guys to serve them. Those rules are only meant to bind little monsters like us who have no background. We are at their mercy and can never escape these shackles for the rest of our lives."

At this point, Ayu's eyes grew even dimmer.

He sighed helplessly, "Leaving aside these demonic pets, even those demons who have cultivated into human form are nothing more than playthings kept by those powerful families. Our fate was destined to be controlled by them from the very beginning..."

destiny!

Tong Guang clenched her fists. In the past, she did not believe in fate; she only knew that fate was in her own hands.

Within her tribe, she was always free to roam as freely as a bird in the sky or a fish in the sea. She did as she pleased...

Even when the elder punished her with a ruler, she still refused to learn the spells she didn't want to learn. Eventually, everyone had no choice but to let her be.

But now she is just one of those swept up by fate, inexplicably brought to this world and manipulated by the system.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling all the worries in her heart, Tong Guang quickly adjusted her mindset!

She is the most beloved and lively little princess of the Rabbit Spirit Clan. No matter where she is or what she encounters, Tong Guang will never wallow in self-pity!

Even when swept along by the tide of fate, she will still strive to do what she wants to do and become who she wants to be, even under the shackles of destiny!

Watching Tong Guang stride towards the stall, A Yu hurriedly followed and asked anxiously, "What are you going to do?"

"Buy them all!"

Since she can't change her own fate, she'll change theirs!

She absolutely could not allow those poor little ones to be bought by others and have that vicious curse placed upon them!

Tong Guang arrived at the stall and asked about the price directly, while the old vendor carefully looked the two of them up and down.

One was a pitifully weak little fish demon, and the other was someone he couldn't sense any fluctuations in demonic or spiritual power.

Could it be a human?

No, no human could ever set foot on this Ancient Eternity Street!

They must have used some kind of magical artifact that can conceal their presence.

Although this old vendor was of humble means, he had lived in Guyuan Street for a long time and was quite knowledgeable.

Then I saw his cloudy old eyes dart around!

"Hehehe, sir, take a look at these demonic pets I have here. They all come from Green Willow Mountain and are absolutely top-notch! So the price... naturally, is not cheap!"

As the old vendor spoke, he kept rubbing his hands together, his face full of a shrewd smile.

"Green Mountain..."

Ayu murmured softly, her body swaying slightly uncontrollably. Her expression suddenly became complicated, and a trace of sorrow flowed deep in her eyes.

"How much money would it take to buy them?" Tong Guang frowned and asked directly.

Upon seeing this, the old vendor grinned and extended a finger as withered as a dead twig.

"One million for a single demon pet! How about that? That's quite a good price," the old vendor said confidently.

Before Tong Guang could even speak!

Quickly regaining her composure, Ayu couldn't help but retort, "Why don't you just rob someone? How dare you ask for a million! Your heart is blacker than coal!"

He didn't actually want to treat the demon pet like a commodity and haggle over the price, but the price offered by the old vendor in front of him was ridiculously high. It was an outrageous and unreasonable price!

Shady businessman!!

This is absolutely, without a doubt, a complete and utter swindler!

Ah Yu cursed silently in her heart!

Upon hearing this, the old vendor instantly became so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at his opponent.

He shouted loudly, "Hey...you little devil, don't you know any rules? Can't you speak properly?"

"I, Old Ma, have been selling demon pets on this Guyuan Street for a full century. Everyone knows that I have always been fair in my prices and honest in my business."

His cloudy old eyes revealed the shrewdness of a businessman, and then his tone changed!

He continued sarcastically, "Hmph, if you ask me, young lady, with your looks, how come you have such poor taste? Look at the boyfriend you found, he's so stingy, he can't even bear to buy you a tiny demon pet! It's really laughable!"

It has to be said, this old vendor really knows how to read people's minds...

If they were a real couple, they might actually buy it at the price he suggested after he said that.

After all, those merchants have always been good at bundling love with products. With such clever tactics, how could young couples in love not obediently pay for "bundled products" that exceed their original value?

Unfortunately, he misjudged this time...
