Chapter 144: Magic Continent Trading Market 1
After the cold attack ended, Sang Chu and the others waited for another two hours before daring to open the door.
But as soon as they opened it, the biting cold wind made them gasp.
Mu Xue tightened her thick cotton coat, her lips turning pale from the cold. “This, this cold attack is over, isn’t it? Why is it still so cold?”
Lu Min Feng looked at Xiao Yi Fei instead. “Brother Yi, what do you think?”
“Me? I’m fine. I just feel a bit colder than during the day.”
Indeed, although he was also wearing a thick cotton coat, he wasn’t bundled up as tightly as the others.
Liu Sang looked at Xiao Yi Fei with disbelief. “This Prince seems to have a strong constitution. After the cold attack, the temperature will be abnormally cold until the sun rises tomorrow, yet His Highness seems to have no discomfort.”
“I’m not afraid of the cold.”
Xiao Yi Fei said as a matter of course. He was a Fire Element Supernatural Ability User, his body full of fire energy. He was only afraid of heat, not cold.
Seeing that Liu Sang still wanted to say something, Sang Chu quickly said, “Lord Liu Sang, let’s go to the trading market first. We can rest after buying what we need. It’s too cold at night.”
“Alright, Your Highness, this way please.”
Liu Sang led the way. The trading market was brightly lit. Two masked wizards guarded the entrance, each with their magic beast on their shoulder.
On the left was a White Tiger, and on the right was a large green python coiled around its body.
When the two saw Liu Sang, they were stunned, then quickly bowed.
Liu Sang: “No need for formalities. Today, I am accompanying five Princes on a visit.”
After speaking, he looked at Sang Chu. “Prince Sang, according to the rules of the Slave Trading Market, you and your companions must first show your Crystal Cards to ensure you have enough Crystal Coins to pay before you can enter.”
Sang Chu handed hers over first. “Since it’s the rule, let’s follow it.”
Sang Jing Wen didn’t say anything, just handed over his Crystal Coin. The others did the same.
Seeing the uniform Rose Crystal Cards, the guards were dumbfounded. This was the first time they had ever seen a Rose Crystal Card.
Among all their cards, Sang Chu’s had the most. The others basically had one hundred on their cards.
After verifying the cards, the guard on the left respectfully handed them back. “Your Highnesses, please come in.”
Sang Chu responded with a low voice and walked in.
“Wow!”
Mu Xue let out a soft gasp, then immediately calmed herself, not wanting to be too conspicuous.
But Liu Sang, who was standing beside them, heard it.
He looked at Mu Xue, then at the others who appeared calm, thinking that this woman must have attached herself to a prince to gain royal status. A hint of disdain crept into his heart.
Liu Sang walked up to Sang Chu and, looking at her calm demeanor, smiled. “Prince Sang, would you like to browse around, or are you looking for something specific? The good items haven’t come out yet, so you can look at some smaller things.”
The good items he mentioned were probably what would be brought out after the moon was high in the sky.
Sang Chu glanced at him, then at the floating spiral staircase, and said, “Let’s browse around first. I need to buy some magic beasts and formations.”
“In that case, let’s go to the second floor. The second floor specializes in magic beasts.”
“Okay.”
As she stepped onto the stairs, Sang Chu felt her feet sink into something soft, like cotton.
The floating stairs were one after another, with no connecting parts. With each step, she was cautious, fearing that if she wasn’t careful, the stairs would shatter and she would fall.
Second Floor
No wonder this trading market was never seen before. It turned out that the second floor was a place conjured by magic, somewhat like a virtual space.
With every step, she could see ripples of energy on the transparent floor.
Liu Sang: “The highest-level wizard in Flower Town is Level Five, so the trading market they created might not be perfect. I hope Your Highness will forgive us.”
Seeing Sang Chu lost in thought, looking at the ripples created by footsteps on the ground, Liu Sang thought she was dissatisfied and spoke anxiously.
He had already guessed why the Dean wanted him to protect this woman. Her talent and magic were too captivating, but this was innate. It could only be controlled and used for their own benefit.
Sang Chu: “It’s fine. Let’s go see the magic beasts first.”
The entire street was filled with magic beasts. These magic beasts were like poultry waiting to be slaughtered, trapped in cages. Some were covered in wounds, some were emaciated and on the verge of death.
Sang Chu saw a pair of foxes placed at the entrance of a shop, barely breathing, and couldn’t help but walk over.
As soon as the shop owner saw someone, he hurried out. “What would my esteemed guest like?”
Sang Chu and the others were wearing thick cotton coats from Mino’s shop, covering their original wizard robes, so others couldn’t tell where they were from.
However, after the shop owner finished speaking and saw Liu Sang following behind her, he was completely shocked. “Lord Liu Sang? What brings you to the trading market? Are you here to inspect goods?”
Liu Sang: “No, today I am accompanying His Highness to buy things. Bring out all the good items in your shop for His Highness to see.”
His Highness?
The shop owner only thought it was a prince from Feng Xin City and said without much thought, “Yes, yes, yes, Lord Liu Sang, Your Highnesses, please come in. I will prepare a catalog for you immediately.”
Sang Chu: “No rush. I’ll take these two foxes.”
The shop owner blinked his eyes and gave an awkward smile. “Your Highness, these two foxes are dying. They can’t be saved.”
If it were anyone else, he would have been happy to sell them, but Liu Sang was accompanying them!
Sang Chu: “It’s okay. I just like them. Name your price.”
“This, this…”
The owner looked at Liu Sang for help, but he smiled and said, “Why are you looking at me? Just name your price as His Highness wishes.”
Owner: “Then, then, then one hundred Crystal Shards. They aren’t worth much. Of course, if Your Highness buys anything else from my shop, these two beasts can be considered a bonus.”
Sang Chu glanced at him. “No hurry. First, price these two. I like foxes. If I can’t raise them, I can eat them.”
After speaking, she handed over her Crystal Coin with one hand and picked up the cage with the other. “Boss, are you selling this cage? I don’t want to waste a Magic Card on these two.”
“Your Highness is too kind. Here, this is for you.”
The owner’s hands trembled slightly as he took Sang Chu’s Crystal Coin Card. This was a Rose City Crystal Card. It was likely that this person was not a fake royal from Feng Xin City, but someone from the true Imperial Family of Rose City, far away in the capital!
No wonder Lord Liu Sang was accompanying her all the way!
After respectfully inviting Sang Chu and the others into the shop, the owner brought out the magic beast catalog, with almost one for each person. “Your Highnesses, these are the magic beasts available in my shop. Please take a look and see if there’s anything you like. I’ll have someone bring it over for Your Highnesses to inspect.”
Xiao Yi Fei looked at a palm-sized Little Fire Dragon in the catalog and said, “Boss, bring this one over to take a look.”
