Xu Sheng is the nephew of Xu Da, the king of the Snow Kingdom, and the young master of the Snow Kingdom. The place where he lives is naturally called the Young Master's Mansion.
Xu Sheng was very fond of attracting many visitors, and had nearly three hundred visitors in his mansion. Flying was prohibited in the snow city, so Xu Sheng set up a fleet of carriages in Wengcheng to transport the visitors in and out of the city, and also to welcome new people.
After Ye Qian, Wang Quan Fugui and Xiao Yuan entered Wengcheng, they got on the carriage and headed to the Young Master's Mansion.
Various buildings in Snow City are made of red bricks fired from local red soil, mixed with wood and stone, and built into dark red high-rise tower-shaped buildings. Only the stone slabs on the road are mainly green gray, which makes people look more comfortable.
The streets in Snow City are not loose, and can only accommodate four or two carriages traveling side by side. Horses gallop all the way, and the carriages can fly on the road without fear of hitting people, because there are basically no pedestrians.
Except for the occasional cultivator who passed by, Ye Qian did not see any of the three million mortals in the legendary Snow Kingdom.
"Is today a special day? Why can't I see anyone?" Ye Qian lowered the curtains of the carriage carriage. This snowy country looked spectacular from a distance, but quite boring up close. Apart from the tall towers, it was a boxy coffin-like building.
Each high tower or coffin building is huge and can accommodate thousands of people without any pressure.
The whole street was empty and silent, with no shops, stalls, teahouses or inns, just like a dead city.
"Only cultivators in the Snow Country are qualified to go out freely. Ordinary mortals are assigned to various places after birth and are prohibited from going out. They don't need to work. King Xu Da works hard to raise them. They only need to donate a certain amount of blood every day!"
After all, Wang Quan Fugui has been to Snow Country and knows the place quite well.
"What's the difference between this and ordinary people raising pigs!" Ye Qian sighed in his heart. With his strong mental power, he was naturally able to clearly detect the situation inside the tower and coffin building.
Inside, the life of mortals is not too bad. There is a fixed place for playing, reading and relaxing. It seems to be meal time now. The mortals on each floor of the building are queuing up to get meals. The laughter and laughter are lively. They don't seem to think anything is wrong.
"They live and die there. They don't have to worry about food and housing. They are treated by monks when they are sick. They only need to contribute a little blood every day and they can enjoy themselves until the end of their lives. They are somewhat different from pigs!"
Wang Quan Fugui smiled and didn't think there was anything wrong.
"You are sophistry!" Ye Qian frowned. Although there are all kinds of sufferings in the outside world, they have not cut off the chance of life for ordinary people to practice. This place seems to provide food and clothing for ordinary people without worries, illness and disaster, but it has really cut off the last hope of ordinary people.
Hope, become a lamb to be slaughtered and a pig, life and death are all decided by the thoughts of the cultivators in the Snow Country.
If something happens to the Blood Sea Formation in Snow Kingdom, all these mortals will be buried with them.
"Believe it or not, if you really ask these mortals to leave the Snow Country, they may not be willing to leave! People in the world are so lazy and have enough food and clothing, and are used to living a leisurely life. If you let them struggle to survive, they would not be as comfortable as bloodletting every day.
!
Have you ever seen a place where monks feed mortals? It was here that King Xu Da pioneered the practice of raising mortals. He was admired and imitated by many evil masters. Mortals have short lifespans and can be given blood transfusions while alive. After death, their bodies can still be used for sacrifices.
Mortals and monks, this cycle of mutual benefit is the best way, it is better than letting evil cultivators go out to hunt wild food and bring destruction and destruction to the mortals outside!"
Wang Quan Fugui smiled, his eyes sparkling, and he seemed to admire Xu Da's strategy.
Ye Qian wanted to refute, but it was meaningless. These mortals have been accustomed to living like this since they were born. The world around them is within this high tower building. They are like pigs and sheep who are ignorant. It is extremely difficult to change.
"My little brother is right, my father said the same thing. Xiao Yuan secretly made a few mortal friends, but they were unwilling to teach them the exercises because they thought the practice was too hard. Later Xiao Yuan stopped playing with them!
"
Xiao Yuanke nodded vigorously. She lay on Ye Qian's lap, her little face showing her approval of the royal power and wealth.
Is this the difference in environment? Ye Qian's hand that was touching Xiao Yuan's head froze when he heard this. Mortal life outside is difficult. If you want to embark on the path of cultivation and change your life, you will die without regrets. Here you have no worries about food and clothing.
Without the idea of improvement, this silent erosion is the real terror.
"Is this where it is?"
The carriage entered the inner city and stopped at a mansion. Wang Quanfugui went to the young master's mansion to negotiate with the housekeeper first, while Ye Qian held Xiao Yuan's hand and stood at the door of the mansion, looking around out of boredom.
"Hey, isn't this the eldest lady of the Tong family? Look at the blood slave mark on her forehead. She's really beautiful..."
A joyful taunt came from not far away, and the speaker was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy riding a magic wolf. He looked at Xiao Yuan next to Ye Qian with a look of gloating, followed by four guards who also had weird smiles on their faces.
.
Xiao Yuan hesitated to speak, curled her lips, and hid behind Ye Qian without responding.
"You two have a grudge?" Ye Qian asked Xiao Yuan directly without even paying attention to the young man.
"He is Di Menghai, the youngest son of the Di family. He is a very annoying guy. His father is the chief treasurer. In the past, my father hated their family the most. He said that their family was a borer in the Snow Country."
Xiao Yuan stuck out her tongue at the young man, made a face, and whispered to Ye Qian.
"You're the one who hates me. The young master originally thought you were pitiful and wanted to take you in to make a bed and be a maid. Now, young master, I have changed my mind..." The young man named Di Menghai became quite angry after hearing this and turned to Ye Qian.
He snorted coldly, raised his sword eyebrows, and said angrily, "Who is that? Give Yuan Girl to me, and the young master of the Prime Minister Xu's family will carry it for you!"
"Oh, I don't want her to make the bed and fold the quilt, why do you want Xiao Yuan to go?"
Ye Qian had a weird look on his face, and he had the urge to laugh, so he asked pretending to be confused.
There is no murderous intent or malice in this kid, but he does look like a specialty of Ye Qian's hometown, the naughty boy who pulls girls' hair if they want to attract their attention.
"Have you noticed that these four masters of the late sixth level of the Dao Peeping Realm behind me have not gotten married yet. I want Yuan Yatou to betroth them to four of them as wives!" Di Menghai pointed his thumb back triumphantly.
Behind Di Menghai, the four guards looked at each other. Happiness came so quickly that they were caught off guard. However, they didn't know anything about their young master's virtues. They were all just excuses. Just listen.
Besides, Xiao Yuan was not their cup of tea at such a young age, so their young master had been arguing with this young lady from the Tong family for several years, and they couldn't let it go. Some time ago, the Prime Minister Xu's family preemptively bought Tong Yuanyuan away.
There was a big fuss at home, and this time as soon as I received the news, I immediately ran over.
"Do your Qingtian daydreams. Xiao Yuan has to make the bed for the eldest brother in the future, so don't marry them!" Before Ye Qian could say anything, Xiao Yuan, who was hiding behind him, became anxious and stuck out his head to dismiss it.
"You are a blood slave now, is it your turn to make the decision?"
Di Menghai completely ignored Xiao Yuan, got off the demon wolf's back, walked to Ye Qian with his hands behind his back like a little adult, looked at Ye Qian carefully from head to toe, and said suspiciously:
"You are the one who killed Yusheng, the seventh person on the blacklist and the seventh most powerful person in the Dao Realm. Why do you want to seek refuge in the Young Master's Mansion? Come to my Di family, how about I ask my father to give you the position of special guest?
?”
When Di Menghai spoke, his eyes involuntarily drifted to Xiao Yuan, and the meaning behind his words was clearly revealed.
"What do you mean, the young master's mansion is not as strong as your Di family?"
Ye Qian found it quite interesting. Since the royal power and wealth had not come out yet, he also wanted to tease this boy who was obviously in love for the first time.
"Of course!" Di Menghai nodded matter-of-factly, "What future can we have by following Xu Sheng? Xu Sheng's own cultivation resources all depend on the king's reward. What good things can I give you? My Di family is different. I control the treasury of the Snow Country.
, there are caravans run by oneself outside, how can they be compared to the poor Xu Sheng!"
Young man, you stand in front of Xu Sheng’s house and scold Xu Sheng, the young master of the Snow Kingdom, for being poor. Is this really okay?
When Ye Qian heard this, he was immediately shocked. He looked at the naughty boy Di Menghai with admiration. I'm afraid you don't know. There was an old man who had peeked at the sixth level of Dao Realm and happened to come out of the Young Master's Mansion. He definitely heard it.
What did you say?
"This is the first time I have heard that the master of the family is poor. When you go back and ask Treasurer Di to come to my young master's house to pick up people, I would like to ask in person how the Di family educates their children!"
The old man who came out of the Young Master's Mansion had a very hot temper. He grabbed Di Menghai with a big bloody hand, sealed his Dantian, and threw it to the guard of the Young Master's Mansion. Then he rolled up his sleeves and threw a demon wolf and four guards far away.
Got out.
Well done! Ye Qian gave the old man a thumbs up in his heart. This kind of naughty child is very annoying. If you care about it, it will be too disrespectful. If you don't care about it, you will be scared to death.
"Master Ye, this is Mr. Xu Sanye, the steward of the young master's mansion. He has served the king for more than a hundred years. Even the young master is also called third uncle. Everything in the mansion is managed by the third master!"
Wang Quan Fugui took a step from behind the old man and introduced the origin of this old man to Ye Qian.
"I'm really happy to hear that Mr. Ye has killed Quan Yusheng. My young master's palace is very thirsty for talents. Mr. Ye has come to the right place! Please come in!"
The old man cupped his hands towards Ye Qian, his words were quite polite, and he pushed back a step, looking humble and letting Ye Qian go first.
"You're welcome, Mr. San, please go first!"
Ye Qian didn't take it seriously. For a man who has followed the powerful master of the seventh level of the Tao Realm for more than a hundred years, being so polite is generally speaking to give face. He thinks that he should be treated as a matter of course. He is mentally retarded. If he is a guest in someone else's territory, he will show full politeness.
"Then I will take Mr. Ye to visit my young master's mansion in front to see if it is as poor as this boy said!"
Butler Xu San walked towards the house with a smile on his face. When he passed by Di Menghai, he slapped Di Menghai on the little head. The pain made Di Menghai grin. He wanted to say something but couldn't. It seemed that he couldn't even say anything.
The mouth was also sealed.
"What a child says cannot be true!"
Ye Qian smiled and led Xiao Yuan to follow behind Old Man Xu. He patted Di Menghai on the head as if to comfort him. Xiao Yuan followed suit, giggling and patting Di Menghai.
