Chapter 88 - 88 : The Indignant Young-Woman (1/2)

Arthur followed Lucy as she browsed through the treasures. The first floor contained low-grade weapons and items, so there wasn't anything interesting that caught their eyes.

The floor had a lot of customers, some were even looking longingly at these treasures. The prices of these treasures were considered low for Arthur, but for normal cultivators, it was an astronomical price, moreover, each and every one of those items was good.

They were all common ranked items, however, albeit the low rank, their prowess is by no means meager. Even if an Immortal used the axe displayed outside, which is a 3rd-grade Common item, the destruction and power he could do with that are unimaginable.

After looking around for a couple of minutes and finding nothing worth their attention, Lucy and Arthur decided to head to the second floor.

As they headed toward the staircase, the two tall men standing near it stopped the couple and said

”Stop! To proceed, you need to pay 100 Red Spirit Stones”

Hearing this, Arthur frowned as he stared at the man who spoke.

'Maybe because of our appearance, he wants to take advantage of us and gain some money? Or..'

”Pay?...”

Seeing the confusion of Arthur, the man explained

”The second floor is not allowed to anyone, you can't proceed until you prove you have enough money to go there, it's not a place to sightsee after all”

It was kind of sad that in most worlds, rich people are treated way better than poor people, but there was nothing he could do, with a wave of his hand, Arthur threw the Spirit Red Stones to the tall man then he proceeded upwards with Lucy.

Even if they ended up not buying anything, it was certain that they would not give back those 100 Spirit Red Stones and it's not like Arthur minded that, it's just that he didn't like this way of doing things.

...

The second floor was another level compared to the first one, with less people and more treasures, there were some decorations and ancient paintings that added to the luxury and demeanor.

The number of people here was less than half the people on the first floor.

When they entered the second floor, a young female walked toward the duo while showing a bright smile.

She had a voluptuous body and wore tight purple clothes that showed her two mountain picks and her curves. Although people at a high-Realm are mostly not interested in things like woman and sex. There is some who do, by properly dressing this young woman and making her serve the customers, it would make the atmosphere more lively and in some rare or extreme cases, the girls would 'serve' the customers at a price.

Although it's a treasure pavilion if the girls are willing, and with a reasonable price, anything would work.

”Welcome to the second floor of our Treasure Pavillon, customers, please inform me if you are looking for something specific so I can help you..”

Despite her exceptional beauty and charm, Arthur didn't stare too much, first because Lucy would quickly get jealous and ditch him for a day or two, and second because it was neither the place or time for that, finding Saly and saving her is what's important at the moment.

He waved his hand nonchalantly and replied to the young woman

”No need, we are just looking around.”

The young woman's smile twitched for a second before it returned to its brightness, Arthur's reply was a bit unexpected so she was a bit taken aback, however, she regained her attitude in a split second and merely nodded.

What she thought was completely different to what she showed, for a customer to not want any help and paying a whopping 100 Spirit Red Stones.

After years of experience, the young woman knew that Arthur's partner was a woman. Seeing that her charm didn't affect him, it was obvious that he either was not interested in women or the person next to him was his partner.

Lucy's head was covered with the hood, however, her clothing didn't completely hide her womanly features, especially after her breakthrough.

Whether it's her waist, hips or chest area, they all have grown significantly and you could easily guess that she's a woman with a glance.

It's not like she didn't have any womanly charm before, but the difference from before is apparent and exposed even more of her beauty.
