C421 The Shadow under the City of Peony (1/2)

”Help! ”Help!”

The teenager screamed in fear when he heard that there were ten thousand people in the pit. However, there was not a single person around him who was concerned.

”Tsk tsk, you deserved it!”

”Exactly, slaves should have the appearance of slaves, and yet you still want to run away.”

”I think it's time to chop it into pieces. If you make fertilizer, you will sully our peonies. ”

At this moment, the crowd were all whispering to each other.

Mu Ru Yue's expression was overcast. He wanted to step forward, but Feng Qing grabbed his wrist and continued, ”Slaves of Peony City, if you want to escape, will be executed. Anyone who dares to move will be executed like that person.

These people would never reason with others. Even if you reveal your identity, you will be treated as an impersonator. In their eyes, Peony City was the law. Patience. That young man won't die in three to five days. ”

When Mu Ru Yue heard Feng Qing's words, the fury in her heart couldn't be quelled no matter how hard she tried.

She glared at the people at the city gate and looked at Feng Qing, ”What is going on?”

”This is Peony City, and this is also my palace …” The reason why he wanted to come here privately. I don't have any pity for these slaves, but I don't like this system either. What I want is the human heart, and what you want is the City Lord's life. So, how about we cooperate? ”

Feng Qing's voice was extremely gentle.

Although Feng Qing had said that, Mu Ru Yue understood that he didn't want her to help him. He just wanted to help her. However, Mu Ru Yue didn't plan to refuse. Because... She wanted to get involved and see what this so-called slavery looked like!

Thinking about this, Mu Ru Yue nodded her head.

Seeing that she agreed, they continued to walk towards the city.

There was nothing to see at the entrance of Peony City. However, after walking for less than a hundred meters, what entered his line of sight was a huge flower bed. On the flower bed, peonies were flourishing. This flower bed was roughly a thousand people large. It was breathtaking.

Around the flower beds, there were twelve streets. Directly in front of them was the towering city governor's mansion.

Looking down the street, it seemed that every house had peonies planted on them. In fact, many of the constructions were carved with peony flowers. This was also the well-deserved city of Peony. If it wasn't for the fact that the young man was trying to escape in front of the door that cast a shadow over Mu Ru Yue's heart, she wouldn't have been able to stop herself from praising him.

However … Within this beautiful city, there lived a group of Fiends.

And the people who lived in this city, and those who supported the system of slavery here, and also bought and sold, were the blades in the hands of this demon.

After Mu Ru Yue and the rest entered the inner city, they headed for a street. In Peony City, there were twelve main streets, each with their own opinions. The streets were numbered. The first three streets were used for sacrificial rites. They were also heavily guarded at the intersection of these three roads.

From four to six, it was meant for the citizens to live in. However, it was limited to the local residents of Peony City. Seven to nine was the most prosperous place in Peony City. Here, there were countless delicacies and fine wine, and even peonies were dazzled by the sight of it. This was the place where peonies were used to view the scenery of Peony City.

From ten to twelve, there were plenty of restaurants, and all of them were for outsiders to live in. Here, the investigations were quite rigorous. It was as if they were afraid that someone would break the rules of the Peony City. There was another street a few blocks away that most people didn't want to talk about.

That was the slave market of Peony City.

In Peony City, many families couldn't leave their slaves. In their eyes, it was enough for the slaves to do whatever they wanted. They themselves really didn't need to do anything. These were the thoughts of most of the people here.
