Chapter 644: Money over life
However, they are not good people. The number of people they have kidnapped is definitely not small, and this time it is particularly serious.

Murong Ji looked down and saw that the valley below was shrouded in endless poisonous fog.

This poisonous miasma is somewhat like some kind of restriction that prevents people from investigating. It is simple in method and hidden in the mountains and forests, so it is not easy to be discovered.

This valley is more like a plain than a valley. The water resources here are abundant, and the plain area is suitable for building a city.

[No wonder I couldn't find the place, it turns out the terrain is special. ]

Murong Ji used his Yang Shen to look around and found that the surrounding environment and the distance to the human border made it a strategic location.

After this city is built, it will be able to attract a large number of merchants. After all, having a city standing here is far more stable than any human town.

Sinking into the poisonous miasma below, Murong Ji turned his head and looked. This white poisonous miasma like clouds did not block the sunlight from entering, which was a good idea.

After crossing the poisonous miasma, there is a bustling construction site below.

A magnificent city is almost completed, but in addition to some formation defenses, there are also some technical and aesthetic constructions that require human monks and even human craftsmen.

For example, the demon race cannot do the work of carving beams and painting buildings.

Murong Ji glanced at the construction site below. Most of the laborers were demons, and many humans were doing some craft work. Looking at their full expressions, you could tell that they didn't suffer much.

He slowly exhaled a breath, watched the Poison Master take them away and imprison them, and then his Yang Shen returned to his body.

After the guards left, Murong Ji stretched lazily and looked at Dongfang Qinlan. He really had no psychological pressure and could sleep soundly no matter where he was.

For a moment, I envied her heartless character.

Coming back to his senses, Murong Ji raised his eyebrows. How could he let her be so comfortable? He kicked her on the butt to wake her up.

"Sister, what are you doing!" Dongfang Qinlan rubbed her sleepy eyes and said angrily.

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows, [You are quite grumpy when you wake up! ]

Just when he was thinking of an excuse to find something for her to do, Dongfang Qinlan glanced around and fell asleep again.

Murong Ji: "..."

For a moment, he was at a loss, couldn't he see the situation clearly, didn't he know the danger? ! !

How much trust does this show in Dongfang Huaizhu's ability! Their sisterly relationship...

Murong Ji sneered, feeling somewhat helpless. Dongfang Qinlan's qualifications were actually quite good, but she was lazy and too dependent on her sister Dongfang Qinlan.

It is said that an eldest sister is like a mother. This child who was raised by Dongfang Huaizhu, perhaps in her subconscious, really regards this sister as her mother.

Murong Ji sighed lightly, walked forward, grabbed Dongfang Qinlan's ear and woke her up without any courtesy.

"Practice your skills quickly, or I'll skin you alive!"

Dongfang Qinlan's pupils shrank, and then she looked at Murong Ji with horror, and asked, "You are not my sister! Who are you?"

After the words fell, Dongfang Qinlan seemed to react, exhaled a long breath, and put her heart back in her stomach.

The whole process was very short. Murong Ji watched the little girl's expression change, but he couldn't understand it.

Then he realized that his tone and speaking habits were different from Dongfang Huaizhu's.

"Chen Mi! Murong Ji! That's great! You never told me that you have such a skill!" Dongfang Qinlan's eyes lit up again and again. She trotted to Murong Ji and looked at him carefully.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your figure is better than my sister's. My sister will feel inferior if she sees you!"

Murong Ji's face darkened, and before he could speak, Dongfang Qinlan circled around Murong Ji again and again.

"It really looks like that! How did you do that?" Dongfang Qinlan sniffed Murong Ji and said, "Ah! Even the scent is almost exactly the same!"

"And... it's even more majestic than my sister's! What a coincidence! How can you let her live!"

Murong Ji's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he slapped her on the forehead.

He patted her and she staggered, took a few steps back, and sat down on the ground, "Ouch! It hurts so much! Chen Mi! You... Hey? How did you change back?"

Murong Ji completely changed into his own self, looking at Dongfang Qinlan with a gloomy face, "How did you find out? Just based on the tone of voice, and the curvature of her figure? How dare you conclude that?"

Dongfang Qinlan rubbed her forehead and looked at Murong Ji helplessly, "Of course it's my sister's figure. I'm not as... plump as you."

"Ah! I get it! You like fat girls, right? So you made my sister plumper, too, hehehe! You, you!"

Murong Ji was startled. He really hadn't noticed this. Bah! What a mess. "Just relying on these?"

"Of course not. The second time I looked at you, I knew you were not my sister. Your flame aura is different! I am very familiar with my sister's flame aura, and also, the blood sensing of the Eastern Spirit Clan." Murong Ji nodded, he understood. He had a method of blood refining, and this technique could also sense the blood of his closest relatives, and it was always accurate.

The principles of the two should be similar.

"Chen Mi, you said that we are already so familiar with each other and can have fun together. Why don't you be my brother-in-law from now on."

Murong Ji looked at her speechlessly, turned his head to look outside the cage, and murmured, "Your brother-in-law is someone else. They should have met each other now."

If his estimation was correct, Wang Quan Baiye and Dongfang Huaizhu would have met each other now.

"Huh? That's not right. Aren't you very powerful? Why were you caught as well?" Dongfang Qinlan took out a string of candied haws from his swallowing sac, took a bite of one, and asked with some confusion.

Murong Ji couldn't bear to see her being so comfortable, and retorted unhappily: "With your IQ, it's hard for me to explain to you."

"Tsk! I'm very smart, okay?" Dongfang Qinlan took a bite of the candied haws and said, "I just want to get rid of that big monster and kill him with the pot."

"However, I'm afraid your idea won't work. My sister said that the Great Demon King is very powerful and it's far beyond the ability of us rookies to defeat him. Moreover, the Great Demon King is a high-ranking official in the Southern Kingdom, and his death is a big deal."

Murong Ji walked forward, snatched her candied haws, put it into the Qiankun Qingguang Ring, grabbed Dongfang Qinlan by the back of her neck, and dived directly underground. When he appeared again, he had already reached the top of the mountain.

Qin Lan was still confused and barely came to her senses.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Murong Ji looked down and the entire appearance of the city was in sight, even the defenses and deployments of some demon tribes could be seen clearly.

If you look closely, you will find that the terrain here is really nice.

Building a city here was probably something that the Southern Kingdom's top leaders had planned long ago. Apart from other things, there weren't many such terrains in the Southern Kingdom's mountains.

Most cities are built against mountains, and humans are the best and most reasonable at building cities. Therefore, many human craftsmen are extremely popular with the demons.

After all, no monster would be willing to live in a damp and stuffy cave deep in the mountains and forests.

For the Southern Kingdom, it is easy to find laborers to carry the goods. After all, there are so many monsters, and many of them are extremely powerful.

However, some technical problems cannot be solved simply by force.

"I just don't understand why these fairies want to build a city here?" Dongfang Qinlan looked puzzled, and then reacted, "Could it be to attack our Shenhuoshan Villa!"

Murong Ji looked at her speechlessly. Shenhuoshan Villa was eight hundred feet away from here. It was completely unrelated to here.

If the sisters hadn't come here to collect herbs, they would never have gotten involved in such things.

"What should we do now?" Dongfang Qinlan saw that Murong Ji had been silent and just staring at the city, and asked impatiently.

"Go down and visit the great demon king here."

"what?!"

The next moment, Murong Ji grabbed Dongfang Qinlan by the back of the collar and flew towards the base camp of the demon tribe on his sword.

"Hey, you have to think about it. You don't want to die yet! Those are extremely vicious monsters! They can eat people!"

Murong Ji looked down at her unhappily, "If I really can't escape, I'll give you to them as a gift, and I can still escape with my life! Otherwise, why would I bring you with me!"

"Ahhh! You are such a disloyal person! I knew that a profiteer like you could not be so kind. You must be upset because I made money from you, and you want to kill a gentle and sweet partner like me in the future! Isn't this a common trick used by you people in the Central Plains?"

Murong Ji suddenly thought of something and raised his eyebrows, [If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten it! ]

Then, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I was discovered by you accidentally. This is good, so you can be a clear-headed ghost."

Dongfang Qinlan was startled, but stopped making trouble. "You... don't really want to kill me, do you?"

"Well... let's renegotiate the deal. I'll send you to your sister if you reduce the original price by 50%. How about that?"

Dongfang Qinlan's tone paused, and she retorted angrily, "Don't even think about it!" She crossed her arms and didn't bother to pay attention to Murong Ji.

Murong Ji sneered, "You want money over life!"

As he was speaking, Murong Ji had already arrived at the gate of the southern demon tribe's camp. He put Qin Lan on the ground, restrained his smile, and looked at the demon tribe's tent with a cold face, instantly unleashing his full aura.

It was as solid as a mountain, pressing down on the demon clan's tent.

"Who! How dare you act so arrogantly here!"

A burst of energy suddenly erupted in the big tent, accompanied by surging purple demonic power, sweeping out of the tent.

Not long after, the Poison Master came out. His face was full of anger, but when he saw Murong Ji, his expression was stunned and gradually became serious.
