Above all spirits

Chapter 34 Star Moon Demon Realm

"That's outrageous! They charge me five mid-grade soul crystals for one teleportation, which is a whopping fifty low-grade soul crystals. No wonder my cheap master said that if I went there with my salary, I wouldn't be able to come back."

"He underestimated it. It's not just twenty low-grade soul crystals. That's not the price from a hundred years ago. It's more than doubled now. I wouldn't even be able to get to the Demon Realm without sponsorship."

Gu Yun followed the crowd out of the teleportation array, sensed his ring space, looked at the scattered soul crystals, and sighed.

I estimate that half of it is already gone.

Getting rich is an urgent matter.

"Wuhu, I'm finally home!"

Werner sent a small black shadow to attach itself to Gu Yun's ear and said happily.

He was terribly suppressed in the divine realm.

Every day, he also had to face Gu Yuntian's divine master.

The slightest mistake could be noticed.

Tremendous stress.

Fortunately, Gu Yun and he are essentially from the same source, as long as he doesn't do anything out of line.

It is unlikely to be detected.

"No wonder you rarely go out. When you do go out, you have to walk. You can't afford to use any teleportation arrays."

"Hey, you know that. Life is tough, so where would you find the spare money to go out?"

The little black figure stretched out a small black hand and patted Gu Yun's shoulder.

Gu Yun looked around. Compared to the God Realm, or rather, the star field and the Extreme Heaven Star Field, the Demon Realm was noticeably darker.

It was as if a layer of shadow had been added to filter the view.

Looking around, there was a somewhat gray and hazy feeling.

It's likely that the demon who set up this star field barrier prefers a dark atmosphere.

But it is said that there is a distinction between day and night.

As for architectural style.

The basic building appearances are largely similar, but the smaller buildings in the Demon Realm are more densely packed and uneven, after all, Werner said there are quite a few gray industries involved.

There were also quite a few vendors setting up stalls in the open space.

The divine realm, on the other hand, mostly lacks or does not need such industries, and at the same time, it is neatly divided into areas, making it appear relatively unified.

For example, the street where Liuyun Craftsmen used to be located was lined with craftsmen's shops, which was indeed more aesthetically pleasing.

As for large buildings.

Gu Yun strolled around for a while.

The divine realm features more temples and churches, while the demon realm has more castle-type buildings.

Devil's Castle, huh?

However, they haven't shaken off the underlying impression.

"Is this the star system you were in before?"

The little dark figure nodded.

"Well, actually it shouldn't be called Star Domain anymore. This is the Star-Moon Demon Domain, located roughly in the northern part of the entire Demon Domain. This is the main star of the Star-Moon Demon Domain, Liyue Star. Like the God Domain, the Demon Domain is basically named after the most powerful race. The most powerful demon race in this area is the Star-Moon Demon Clan, a genuine royal family."

Gu Yun raised an eyebrow slightly.

"So, the Star Moon Demon Clan has a demon king-level demon?"

"Not just, I should say at least one."

"That powerful? Even more powerful than the Extreme Heaven Star Region?"

Gu Yun exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't it said that there are only a handful of demon kings?"

"The Star Moon Demon Clan is very powerful. Their innate Star Moon Power can draw upon the power of the stars themselves, which is on a completely different level from the Shadow Demon Power talent of a demon like me who doesn't even have a clan."

Werner sighed.

"But if you really want to compare them, I don't know which one is stronger. The Extreme Heaven Star Domain isn't just about having one God-King. The God Race and the Demon Race haven't had any conflicts for a long time."

"However, if there really is a conflict, I think the demons would definitely not win."

"Because all the demon realms are very chaotic. For example, this place is called the Star Moon Demon Realm, but that doesn't mean that everyone is on the side of the Star Moon Demon Clan and united as one."

"For example, the Dark Prison Demon Clan and the Devouring Heaven Demon Clan basically develop their own separate ways."

"That's why that place is called the Extreme Celestial Star Domain, while ours is called the Star Moon Demon Domain."

"The Extreme Heaven Star Domain not only represents the strongest God King of Extreme Heaven, but also the star forces contained in that divine domain. Basically, they can all be mobilized or invited by the Buddha of Extreme Heaven. Therefore, the entire star domain is named after Extreme Heaven. The Demon Domain is different. Without sufficient benefits, the demons rarely cooperate. If they are really attacked by an invincible being, they will only run away at the first opportunity."

"That being said, the Star Moon Demon Clan is the strongest, that's a generally accepted fact. You'd better take a detour if you encounter them, and don't cause any trouble."

Gu Yun waved his hand dismissively.

"I know, I know."

Honestly, unless a lord-level demon appeared, Gu Yun really didn't feel any pressure.

Lords would rarely appear on such unofficial paths.

After saying that, Gu Yun stopped and looked ahead, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

"Ah, found it, this should be the place."

Werner looked in the direction Gu Yun was looking with a puzzled expression.

? !

In an instant, Werner's eyes were filled with a blinding white light.

Various delicate moans gradually emerged from his ears, bombarding his brain.

My heart suddenly started racing.

What came into Werner's view was a number of women dressed in distinctive costumes—no, they should be described as humanoid female demons.

Because some of the head, horns, tail, and wings were not deliberately hidden.

Perhaps it's to cater to a certain taste.

They posed and flirted together in front of a brothel, soliciting customers.

The End of the World

This is the name of the brothel.

Very strange.

Whether they wore heavy makeup or looked fresh and elegant, they were all graceful and charming.

Some of these women were even dressed only in thin, transparent gauze, shamelessly displaying their perfect figures, their white skin almost bursting out, their rosy cheeks faintly visible.

Some wore brightly colored silk dresses, the hems of which fluttered in the wind, like delicate flowers just blooming in the sunlight.

It's as if different styles were created to suit the preferences of different creatures.

"Hey, I didn't realize you were such a closet pervert."

"You seem to know your way around this place like the back of your hand as soon as you arrive in the Demon Realm. You're quite good at finding your way around. But do you have enough money?"

Werner wiped his drool and grinned lewdly.

"The prices here are quite high. I didn't realize. Did your master give you a lot of soul crystals?"

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret. I won't tell Yun girl, hehehe."

"However, as a condition of confidentiality, remember to book me a private room. I don't want anyone watching."

"Let me see which girl suits my style."

Gu Yun: →_→

Gu Yun watched Werner launch into a tirade of excited words and flicked the small black shadow beside his ear.

"What's going on in your head? I'm talking about that!"

Don't lump me in with you.

"You yellow devil."

"Was it because you spent all your money on this that you were poor before?"

Gu Yun pointed to the shops on the back side of the row of brothels.

『Black River Soul Crystal Exchange』

The name is very simple, but easy to understand.

This shop is probably a place where you can exchange high-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade soul crystals for equivalent value, or at most charge a small intermediary fee.

The Heihe River mentioned earlier is probably the name of a large chamber of commerce.

I just don't know if anyone sells empty Soul Crystals or how to extract them.

These are the most important things to him.

He happened to have quite a few soul crystals left, which was his first pot of gold.

Werner glanced at the shop Gu Yun pointed to and naturally understood Gu Yun's purpose.

He gave an awkward laugh.

Then, shamelessly, he pointed and gestured.

"Of course I know."

"I was just testing you!"

"Just a friendly reminder, don't go if you don't have money."

"Those people are all ruthless demons who devour people without spitting out the bones. If you're not careful, they can swindle all your soul crystals."

"Don't fall into their trap!"

Gu Yun snorted coldly and said casually.

"Indeed, by the way, Werner, which one have you taken a fancy to?"

"That little succubus in the see-through clothes is pretty good. I like this kind of bold and unpretentious style."

Gu Yun: ...

Werner: ...

Werner: (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻

You're such a baby!
