613 Chapter 613: Slave House!

In the luxurious carriage, Tang Li Xue asked many things about this human city from the rich merchant, and the rich merchant excitedly answered every question in detail one by one.

Tang Li Xue managed to get a lot of information from the rich merchant, but she did not feel relieved at all, instead, she felt even more solemn and worried.

This human city was called Mountain Fortress City.

In the Mountain Fortress City, there were four powerhouses that held the highest authority.

The three among those four powerhouses were the biggest cultivator families in Mountain Fortress City called Xiao Family, Lin Family, and Wang Family.

The last one was the City Lord of this Mountain Fortress City who held full authority over the cultivator army and city guards.

The ancestor of those three cultivator families and the City Lord should be at the Nascent Soul Stage, so Tang Li Xue must be extremely wary of them.

If she accidentally bumped into any of them on the way, her identity as a fox from the beast race would certainly be discovered by them in a single glance.

'I see... So, this Mountain Fortress City is split between four powerhouses. Sigh... It seems very troublesome.' Tang Li Xue thought deeply while frowning deeply.

She had a faint hunch that the kidnapped foxes were in the hands of those four powerhouses. In fact, there was a huge probability that the cultivators from the four powerhouses should be the ones who caught those foxes.

Tang Li Xue also tried to ask for any clues about the kidnapped foxes from the rich merchant. Unfortunately, the rich merchant had been on a business trip to another city a month ago, and he had only come back now, so he did not know anything about it yet.

After making sure that she could not get any more important information from the rich merchant, Tang Li Xue activated her [Mystic Whisper] again to make the rich merchant completely forget about her when the carriage stopped in front of the restaurant.

She also did the same thing to the carriage driver and all the escort guards, so she would not leave any clues behind.

Tang Li Xue took away the rich merchant's spatial ring and swiftly jumped down from the luxurious carriage.

'This [Mystic Whisper] is so convenient to use~! I should practice more in using it later after I come back to Myriad Foxes Academy.' Tang Li Xue thought in awe.

Even though it would be impossible for Tang Li Xue to use it that easily on stronger targets such as predator-level foxes, but it was clearly extremely useful in many situations.

For example like now, she did not need to silence this innocent rich merchant and his escort guards to completely erase her trace.

Of course, it worked well on these people because their cultivation levels were only at the Qi Condensation Stage for the rich merchant and the Acupuncture Opening Stage for the escort guards.

Tang Li Xue erased the rich merchant's spiritual mark on the spatial ring and dripped her own blood on the spatial ring to leave her own spiritual mark, so she could use the spatial ring as her own.

Tang Li Xue checked the content of the spatial ring, and a charming smile was blooming on her enchanting face.

There were at least a few hundred mid-tier spirit stones stored inside the spatial ring. Although, it was not as rich as Elder Yang's spatial ring, but it was more than enough for Tang Li Xue to squander for a while.

There were also many other things such as daily necessities items, luxurious male clothes, dry foods, drinks, some random merchandise, and so on, but Tang Li Xue ignored them all since they were completely useless to her.

Tang Li Xue went toward the dark alley, then she took out tens of mid-tier spirit stones from her spatial ring and fed them to Little Loki.

Who knew that her action actually attracted a few thugs to rob her instead.

"Hehehe~! Isn't this our lucky day?! Such a slender little girl must be quite beautiful! She actually came here to give us money and satisfy us~!" One of the rough thugs said while laughing indecently.

Even though Tang Li Xue already covered her face with a white veil, but her slender figure, silky smooth white skin, and mesmerizing topaz blue eyes were still very conspicuous, and they could easily attract the attention of lecherous thugs like them.

However, Tang Li Xue did not panic or angry at all. On the contrary, she smiled cunningly at them instead.

When those lecherous thugs approached her, Tang Li Xue activated her [Mystic Whisper] and gave an order to them: "All of you, disperse and help me ask around for any clues or information about foxes. After that, you can come back here again and tell me about it."

The expression of those lecherous thugs turned blank for a few moments, and then they replied in unison: "Understood~!"

Those lecherous thugs followed Tang Li Xue's order and dispersed, then each of them started to ask for any clues and information about foxes from the other passerby.

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue decided to take a rest for a while to recover her energy.

To be honest, using [Mystic Whisper] repeatedly to give multiple targets such complicated orders used up quite a lot of her energy.

At first, Tang Li Xue planned to use the previous rich merchant to do it for her, but after thinking carefully, she decided to just change to other people instead.

Since the city gate guards had already seen her with this rich merchant before, so if she still insisted on using the rich merchant to look for the information for her, the city gate guards or even the City Lord might become suspicious, and they might be able to trace it back to her.

It did not take long for those lecherous thugs to find a few pieces of clues about the kidnapped foxes and tell Tang Li Xue about it.

"So, there are extremely beautiful girls with fox ears in the brothel mansion and slave house." Tang Li Xue muttered as her expression turned much colder.

"You all take me to the slave house first." Tang Li Xue said to those lecherous thugs while activating her [Mystic Whisper] again.

If a small girl like her entered the brothel mansion blatantly on a broad day like this, it would certainly attract many prying eyes, but the slave house was different.

According to the information she got, there were many rich merchants and cultivators whether male or female who came in and out of the slave house every day. They usually bought some slaves from the slave house to be used as servants.

There were several slave houses in Mountain Fortress City, but the one that sold the girls with fox ears was the Xiao Family's slave house, so its location was actually quite close to the Xiao Family's home.

Tang Li Xue actually felt really nervous since the Nascent Soul Stage ancestor of the Xiao Family might be able to sense her.

Thankfully, it was only herself who was thinking too much about it.

It was clearly impossible for the Nascent Soul Stage ancestor of the Xiao Family to always pay attention to the crowded slave house every time.

The slave house's steward approached Tang Li Xue with a fawning smile on his face and asked: "Good day, young miss! Forgive for my impoliteness, but may I ask what kind of slave you wish to find? Male or female? Children, adults, or elders? I can guarantee we have everything here!"

Tang Li Xue stared at the slave house's steward and replied while pretending to look curious: "I hear your slave house sells beautiful girls with fox ears. I want to buy them for my collection. The price is not a problem."

"Ah, this..." The slave house's steward frowned and hesitated.

Tang Li Xue frowned when she saw the reaction of the slave house's steward and asked with a tone filled with displeasure: "Why?! Do you think I cannot afford to buy them?!"

The slave house's steward shook his head and politely replied: "No, young miss, it is not like that. I am sorry, but actually, those fox girls have already been reserved by the young masters of the Lin Family and the Wang Family. They had already paid and will take those fox girls tonight."

Tang Li Xue secretly sighed in relief.

'Luckily, those foxes have not been taken home yet by those young masters, or else it would almost be impossible for anyone to save them since there is Nascent Soul Stage Ancestor there.' Tang Li Xue thought in her mind.

Tang Li Xue deliberately put a disappointed look and muttered with a frustrated tone: "Sigh, it is really such a pity."

"Can you at least let me take a look at them to satisfy my curiosity? Pretty please~!" Tang Li Xue begged with a pampered look while shoving a dozen mid-tier spirit stones to the slave house's steward.

The eyes of the slave house's steward gleamed with greed. He took away the dozen mid-tier spirit stones and whispered to Tang Li Xue: "Cough... Okay, since Young Miss, insist... But only for a few minutes, okay? Oh, and do not touch them because those fox girls have not been tamed yet."

"I understand~! I will only take a look at them." Tang Li Xue nodded at the slave house's steward.

The steward led Tang Li Xue and her thugs to the deeper place in the slave house, but the security here was much tighter than outside.
