Chapter 28: Land of Gluttony

  Apparently, it was Anyi and Ning City who entered Manggo City. After Ning City spent some time refining the flying sword, he brought Anyi directly to Manggo City. Although cultivating with the Xuan Huang Pearl is good, the amount of spiritual stone required is also dozens of times that of Anyi's, and this is just the beginning. So even with the Xuan Huang Pearl, Ning City still has some worries about his own cultivation.

  "Brother Ning, this place is so prosperous." An Yi had always been in Lan Xin An, and rarely saw such a prosperous city like Rongcheng.

  Ning City was also the first to come to a city that tended towards Xiuzhen, and although Cang Le City's prosperity was not inferior to Mang Guo City's, it was a different kind of prosperity compared to Mang Guo City. In comparison, Ning City now prefers Cang Le City slightly more.

  In Cang Yue City, there is also the high and mighty Cang Qin royal family, as well as the Cang Qin Academy of Two Stars. Although Cang Yue City also advocates for survival of the fittest, it basically still respects the laws of the Cang Qin country, and despite the humble status of ordinary people, the ordinary people and cultivators there can coexist in a state of balance.

  It's different in Mango City, Ning City is the first time to come to Mango City, and he already feels that there is no unified force here. He can feel that Mango City has many forces, and this place should be the true law of the jungle, where the strong speak.

  "Auction, Mango Auction...!" A thin girl with dozens of flyers in her hand shouted while waving the flyers, "This auction has artifacts, high-grade elixirs, and most importantly, a map of the entrance route to Lansa Island..."

  Ning Cheng did not plan to attend the auction, and now he had nothing good except for some gold coins. Attending such an auction would be useless even with more gold coins, let alone his limited amount of gold coins.

  "Two seniors should have just arrived in Mang City, I have not only a map of Mang City, but also an introduction to the major forces in Mang City, and the price is not expensive, only fifty, no, only thirty silver coins..."

  The girl saw Ning City and An Yi coming over, and immediately came up to peddle her own things. Her eyes were extremely venomous, and at a glance, she could see that Ning City and An Yi were not frequent visitors to Manggo City, nor were they in the Manggo sea area.

  Ning Cheng took out a gold coin and handed it to the girl, saying, "Alright, help me get one of these maps. Don't bother with the change, just give me a copy of the auction catalog."

  The little girl saw Ning Cheng's generosity and quickly grabbed the gold coins. At the same time, she took out two account books and handed them to Ning Cheng with incredible speed.

  While Ning City was still in doubt, she had already gone far. When Ning City saw the rest of the people rushing over to sell handbooks, he realized that selling handbooks here was also competitive.

  "Wait, I'll find a place to stay first." Ning Cheng said to An Yi on one side, while already pulling An Yi to the edge of the street.

  He wasn't a rich man on Earth, but he didn't have to be homeless either. Since arriving here, Ning City had never found a stable place to sleep. Now in Manggo City, no matter what, he would stay for a while and understand the situation before doing anything else. Of course, he couldn't just find a random house to live in; at least he wanted to know which family was better to live with.

  An Yi naturally had no opinion, Ning Cheng flipped open the indicator map of Mang Guo City, which clearly marked several major forces. First, the Mango Association, this is the largest organization in Mango City. They control more than 50% of the transactions in Mango City, and there are many masters within the association. Second, Lang Wang Fu, third, Lu Hou Hai Zhuang...

  Ning Cheng had only taken a glance at what was in front of him when he felt that someone was standing before him and An Yi. Ning Cheng raised his head to see that it was a young woman wearing a red dress, with two layers of aura, standing in front of them. This red-dressed woman looked quite pretty, and beside her stood two equally beautiful female companions. Judging from their attire, these two female companions should be the maidservants of this red-dressed young woman.

  "Are you just arriving in Mang City?" The red-clothed woman pointed at Ning City with her hand and asked straightforwardly.

  Ning Cheng felt a slight discomfort in his heart, what did he have to do with her just as he arrived? Facing the woman in red, Ning Cheng always felt somewhat uneasy.

  "Yes, I and my cousin have just arrived in Mang City." Ning Cheng calmly replied with a clenched fist, knowing that he couldn't mess with anyone in Mang City.

  "Oh, is this your cousin?" The woman in the red skirt shifted her gaze to An Yi, and it was only then that Ning Cheng realized that the purpose of the woman's conversation with him seemed to be An Yi.

  Without waiting for Ning Cheng's response, the woman in red skirt spoke again, "I really like your cousin. I am from the Lu Hou Hai Zhuang. Let your cousin come with me, and I won't treat her unfairly."

  Ning Cheng immediately furrowed his brow and said, "Sorry, my cousin won't go with anyone, we can take care of ourselves."

  "If your cousin doesn't go with me, you won't be able to make a living." The woman in red didn't expect Ning Cheng to dare talk back, and immediately let out a cold snort. However, she soon thought that Ning Cheng should have just arrived at Mang City and didn't know the terror of the Luohai Manor.

  Ning Cheng suppressed the anger in his heart, he knew that Mang Ke Sea and Mang Ke City were not good places to be with, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived here, someone would pick a fight with him and even wanted to take away An Yi.

  "Lu Yan, these two should have just arrived in Mangcheng, isn't this a bit too much?" Before Ning Cheng could speak, a calm and unhurried voice chimed in from beside him.

  On the other side, An Yi heard someone come out to help speak up, and she slightly let out a breath of relief. Letting her leave Ning City was something she absolutely wouldn't do. Moreover, from this red-dressed woman's eyes, she saw something that made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, giving her a sense of unease.

  Ning Cheng also saw the approaching person, a young man wearing magnificent clothes. The area around his eyes had a hint of green, looking extremely frail. However, his cultivation was higher than that of the red-dressed woman named Lu Yan, already at the third layer of Qi gathering. Behind him was also a family servant, whose cultivation had reached the sixth layer of Qi gathering.

  The red-dressed woman who was called Lu Yan immediately retorted, "Miao Wenhong, don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. Every time, you have to compete with me? Last time, I already gave in once, but this time I absolutely won't give in. What about the girl you forcibly took away last time? She's probably been ruined by you."

  "Mu Wen Hong snorted, 'That girl is now living well in the Wolf King's mansion, what do you mean by "bullying"? You're the one who brought her back, that's what I call bullying. You, a woman, are particularly fond of messing with women, isn't this what bullying is?'"

  When Lu Yan heard Mu Wen Hong's words, she was even more furious and the two immediately started arguing.

  Ning Cheng finally realized that neither of these two people was a good thing. He pulled An Yi and said, "An Yi, let's go, this is not a good place."

  "Now that you're here, don't rush to leave." Seeing Ning Cheng wanting to walk away, Miao Wenhong, who had just been arguing with Lu Yan, immediately blocked his way.

  Ning Cheng looked around and found that there were hardly any onlookers, even if someone was watching, they would only take a sneak peek. It can be seen that these two people are quite arrogant in Mang City.

  Ning Cheng suppressed the killing intent in his heart and said in a calm tone, "I don't know either of you two, can't this Mango City be exited?"

  When he said this, Ning Cheng was already thinking about how to rush out of Mang City. The six-layered Qi gathering housekeeper couldn't stop him, and he also planned to kill Miao Wenhong and Lu Yan at the same time. Now that he had just entered the city, he still had a chance to rush out.

  Even if he doesn't kill them, these two people will not let them go. It's better to be straightforward and get it over with. Since they've offended him, they might as well offend him thoroughly, there's no need to be timid.

  "You really said it right, I won't let you go, and you can't leave. Leave the woman by your side here, and then you can go out yourself." Mu Wenhong's tone was still calm and unhurried, but that high-handedness that brooked no argument had already been revealed without a doubt.

  "Oh, what if I say they both got away?" came another voice.

  This time, four people came over, three men and one woman. The man who was speaking was the one wearing light blue clothes walking in front.

  Ning Cheng had already noticed that the four of them were all wearing the same emblem on their chests, obviously they came from the same place. He didn't speak up, in Mang City here, the powers were complex and he wasn't sure if this person was speaking to help him or not.
