Chapter 517: Chapter 509: Elder Di Scared to Wet Himself

“Then I shall trouble you!”

Qin Niu, upon hearing that the Rat City officials had arranged a special residence for them, gladly agreed.

It was now so late, and they were strangers in a strange land, uncertain if they could even find an inn.

The three men followed the lead of the soldiers to the posthouse.

Besides being used for carrying messages, the posthouse also served another purpose, which was to receive officials on public business.

Qin Niu sat atop the shaft of the carriage, acting as the coachman, while the guide, a soldier, rode a strange horse with a row of spines along its neck. This horse, with hair black as satin and a body larger than that of an ordinary steed, stood at least two and a half meters tall.

Its limbs were stocky, and longer hair could be seen circling above the location of its hooves.

Overall, it looked very impressive and magnificently powerful.

“Don’t you have a curfew here? I see that it’s still very lively at night!”

Qin Niu noticed that the main streets of Rat City were still brightly lit, bustling with carriages and horses, teeming with people, and appearing very lively. There were shops on both sides of the street selling all sorts of things.

“Rat City doesn’t need a curfew; the official army is fully capable of handling any emergencies. Master Qin, if you’re interested, after settling in, you can take your family out for a stroll. There are many local snacks here that you can’t find anywhere else.

There’s also the largest Beast Pet Market within the Myriad Beast Gang’s territory. If you find a beast pet you like, don’t miss out.

After midnight, there’s a street that hosts the Ghost Market. They sell beast pets and various rare treasures that are very attractive. However, since it’s the Ghost Market, purchases completely depend on personal judgment. Many outsiders come with the mindset of finding a bargain, and it’s not unusual for them to end up paying a high price for trash. Master Qin, you may consider this at your discretion.”

The soldier enthusiastically introduced the flourishing aspects of Rat City, promoting its goods.

“Since I’m here, naturally, I’ll have to check it out.”

Qin Niu was quite interested in the Ghost Market.

The thrill of finding a bargain was what he was after; even if he misjudged, it didn’t matter to him.

After all, he thought of it as just for fun.

“We’ve arrived at the posthouse! I’ll go ahead and notify the manager. Please wait here in the courtyard for a moment!”

The soldier jumped down from the horse and ran inside to find the person in charge to give notice.

The facade of the posthouse was wide enough to allow two carriages to enter at the same time. The main gate was not closed but left open.

Multiple carriages could be seen parked inside the courtyard.

Clearly, there were many powerful figures gathered here for the Water and Land Dharma Assembly from all corners of the land.

Normally, experts headed in the eastern and western directions would pass through the territory of the Myriad Beast Gang. It was inevitable they would drop by Rat City for a visit.

At this moment, an old man, hugging a young girl, came out from inside.

Qin Niu thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but upon closer inspection, there was no mistake; the stern-faced old man was none other than Elder Di of the Nine Insect Gang.

The two hadn’t directly clashed on the battlefield, but they recognized each other nonetheless.

The young girl, hugged by Elder Di, was about eighteen or nineteen years old, very attractive and slender. She seemed very compliant in the embrace of Elder Di, although her eyes looked somewhat vacant.

The Nine Insect Gang never regarded people as human beings, and its senior members indulged in extreme pleasures.

Qin Niu had witnessed it before.

Who knew where this girl had come from, now spoiled by this old man.

Such matters, no one would interfere with.

Some girls’ families were poor, and their parents were quite willing to sell their daughters for a good price, even secretly instructing them to serve well.

As long as the service was good, the parents could then use the opportunity to establish a connection with Elder Di.
