Chapter 76 Cloud City

The three people were talking, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air around them.

The atmosphere was somewhat stiff and tense.

He seemed determined not to give way to anyone.

Su Muyao never expected things to turn out this way.

She wanted to quietly step aside and wait for the three people to make their choice, then they could simply carry her to Cloud City.

Before she could even step back, the three of them turned to look at her.

Su Muyao gave an awkward smile, "Um, I forgot I forgot to take some things. I'll go back and get them."

Hua Linye went straight to Su Muyao's side, as if to prevent her from escaping.

He squinted his foxy eyes and smiled seductively, saying, "Why don't you choose, mistress?"

"Who does the wife most want to take her to the trade market?"

Wen Nanxi said gently, "Very well, let the mistress choose!"

Xiao Jihan agreed, "I'll listen to my wife!"

She felt that if she opened her mouth, they would start fighting.

She glanced at Wen Nanxi, who was gentle and refined, with an air of elegance and otherworldly grace.

If she had to choose, she might actually choose Wen Nanxi.

Since she first transmigrated, only Wen Nanxi has always been gentle with her.

He didn't say anything.

I guess I have a bit of a baby bird complex.

But she didn't want trouble to break out in her own backyard.

We haven't even gone to the market yet, and we haven't sold anything.

When they arrive at the city's trade market, if they are too busy, they will need the help of the three of them.

They need three people to protect them.

Being stared at by them, an invisible sense of oppression flowed through the air.

Su Muyao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "How about we draw lots to decide?"

After Su Muyao finished speaking, she felt that this method was really good.

This is done based on probability.

Upon hearing Su Muyao's words, the three of them withdrew their imposing aura.

The tense atmosphere in the air dissipated instantly.

"That's fair!"

All three people had no objection to the proposal.

The three of them drew lots, and the decision was made quickly.

Hua Linye carried her there, and Wen Nanxi carried her back.

There is no Xiao Jihan.

Xiao Jihan's aura turned chilly.

Su Muyao felt that ever since she helped Xiao Jihan treat his cold ailment that day, Xiao Jihan had been acting a little differently than usual.

She didn't investigate further.

Hua Linye was overjoyed, "My wife, I've come to take you!"

As he spoke, he transformed into his true form and bent his knees in front of Su Muyao, essentially kneeling down in his beast form.

It's different from before.

Previously, he had simply used his tail to wrap around Su Muyao and climb onto his back.

This time, he lowered his head and knees.

Su Muyao's expression shifted slightly, and she said, "Okay!"

Hua Linye then carefully wrapped Su Muyao around his back with his tail.

“My lady, please sit down. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me.”

Hua Linye tried his best to soften his breathing, afraid that his wife would be uncomfortable sitting there.

If his wife doesn't want him to bring her next time, that would be troublesome.

At this moment, he could feel the gazes of Wen Nanxi and Xiao Jihan.

But as long as I can bring my wife along, nothing else matters.

Since the wife was worried about the dangers in the mountains some time ago, she hasn't gone to the mountains anymore, and they haven't had the chance to get close to her.

This time, I finally have a chance.

“My lady, you can hold onto my tails; that will make things more stable,” Hua Linye said, coiling his nine tails into a circle to surround Su Muyao.

This way, even if Su Muyao doesn't hold onto him, she won't fall or sway.

Su Muyao's expression shifted, and she smiled, saying, "Okay!"

She hadn't expected Hua Linye to be so thoughtful and considerate.

This way, it's like she's in a car, and there are railings and handrails, so she can freely enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Moreover, Hana Rinya's true form, the fox beast, is very tall, giving her excellent visibility.

Hua Linye began to carry Su Muyao forward quickly.

Hua Linye's speed is both fast and steady.

The July wind wasn't cold, giving her a refreshing feeling.

Su Muyao couldn't help but smile.

Wen Nanxi and Xiao Jihan also transformed into their true forms and followed beside her, each protecting Su Muyao at all times.

They controlled their speed just like Hana Rinya.

……

More than half an hour later, they arrived at the gate of Cloud City.

It was just before dawn.

But many orcs were already queuing at the city gate with their goods.

Some carried goods on their backs, while others were carried by two orcs using wooden sticks; there were all sorts of things.

They were obviously going to the city to sell things at the market.

Hua Linye stopped in his tracks. "My lady, you need to queue up and pay the city entrance fee to enter the city."

Su Muyao nodded and said, "Then I'll come down first!"

After putting Su Muyao down, Hua Linye transformed into human form.

Wen Nanxi and Xiao Jihan also transformed into human form.

Su Muyao peeked ahead and asked, "Do we have to pay a fee to enter the city?"

Not knowing how much she would have to pay, Su Muyao didn't want to pay too much.

Seeing Su Muyao's puzzled expression, Wen Nanxi explained from the side, "This is an order issued by the Beast King. Each city must charge an entrance fee to be used for city construction and defense."

"However, each city is also under the full management of its lord, and the lord can decide how much to pay."

"Cloud City has relatively low fees, requiring only one copper crystal coin."

Su Muyao nodded. "That is indeed a small amount."

This is fair to ordinary orcs as well; otherwise, if everyone earns crystals in the city and then uses them to pay the city entry fee, the exploitation would be too heavy.

Su Muyao only knew that this was the city closest to the tribe, so she instinctively decided to come to Yunxiao City to sell things.

However, she didn't know about the security situation inside Cloud City.

"Is Yunxiao City considered one of the better cities in the north?"

Wen Nanxi said gently, "Yes, it is generally recognized as the best city for ordinary orcs."

"During the trade, the city lord also set rules that orcs are not allowed to fight in private. Once a fight is discovered, they will be severely punished and expelled from the city. They will never be allowed to enter Cloud City again."

"Therefore, everyone is willing to come to Cloud City to get things and make trades, and the environment is relatively fair and just."

Thus, Su Muyao learned about it.

However, she still frowned and asked, "Was Lord Yun appointed by Beast Emperor City?"

She was worried that she had connections with the forces in Beast King City, and that someone might want to kill her.

Wen Nanxi knew what she was worried about. He reached out and gently touched her hair, explaining, "The city lord of Yunxiao City has always been a member of the Yun family."

"The Yun family's ancestors were the mysterious Yun clan from the north, and they have been managing Yunxiao City since their ancestors."

"Only the Yun family can manage the environment in the north, control all forces, and suppress all riots."

"However, the current heir of the Yun family is frail and sickly, and the City Lord Yun is getting old, so the situation may change."

"But so far no problems have been found."

Listening to Wen Nanxi say these things, Su Muyao gained a better understanding of Yunxiao City.

If Yunxiao City is safe and has good business conditions, they can come here to set up stalls more often, right?

Just as they were getting bored in line, some of the orcs in front of them started talking.

"Have you heard? Young Master Yun of Yunxiao City has fallen seriously ill. City Lord Yun is searching for a divine physician to treat him. It is said that Young Master Yun is dying."

"Is it true? If something happens to Young Master Yun, and City Lord Yun only has this one grandson, will Yunxiao City fall into the hands of others? Will the entrance fee increase?"

“I heard that the entrance fees to other cities are quite expensive. Only City Lord Yun and Young Master Yun are considering the situation of us ordinary orcs.”
