Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

354 Taking Advantage Of Him

“Oh, it’s delicious!”

Aloy chewed on the chicken, and her eyes shone as she complimented the dish, “I didn’t expect you to know how to take care of people.”

“I didn’t…” Shen Fei scratched his head with a helpless smile. This girl was taking advantage of him again.

Edward pretended to be serious. “Ahem. My dear daughter, you’re not being lady-like.”

Aloy smiled cheekily and made a face at her father.

After dinner, the three of them sat on the sofa in the mayor’s living room and chatted for a while. The atmosphere was harmonious.

“Shen Fei, since you’re here, you can start refining the supreme emperor pill tomorrow. However, you need to go to another place,” said Edward.

“What place?” Shen Fei asked, puzzled.

Edward looked at Shen Fei seriously. “The black market.”

“Nord Street?” Shen Fei asked.

“No, Nord Street is only the surface of the black market. The real core of the black market is the Royal Trading District,” said Edward.

Shen Fei was surprised by this information.

“Father, what do you want Shen Fei to do there?” Aloy asked.

“Refining the supreme emperor pill not only requires the fire spirit herb and immortal fire seedling, but also a medicinal cauldron called the Skyburn Cauldron.”

Edward pointed at a bronze cauldron not far away and said with a smile, “As far as I know, there’s a lower Emperor-tier medicinal cauldron in the Royal Trading District.

Shen Fei suddenly understood. ‘So that’s how it is! I need to make a trip to the Royal Trading District.’

After thinking for a moment, Shen Fei nodded. “Alright.”

Edward nodded with relief. “Good. I’ll send someone to pick you up later. You should train hard and become stronger as soon as possible.”

Shen Fei clenched his fist and said, “I definitely will.”

His eyes were filled with determination and ambition.

“Don’t act rashly after you enter the Royal Trading District. Remember, you only have one mission: Find the Skyburn Cauldron, attend its auction, and bring it back here. As for whether you can succeed will depend on you, so don’t act rashly!

“Also, the politics in the Royal Trading District is complicated,” Edward said. “Not only are there experts from all walks of life there, there are also many martial grandmasters. I say this again: You must be careful.”

After listening to Edward’s warning, Shen Fei nodded solemnly.

“People there have strange temperaments, and you might anger them if you’re not careful, which will bring you trouble,” Edward said seriously.

The Royal Trading District was one of the best trading places in this region. Other than the high value of the items that could be traded there, everything else was plain and worthless.

However, people from the major powers of the continent—corporations, aristocratic families, and cultivation groups—all liked to wander around the Royal Trading District. Some conflicts were bound to happen there.

“I’ll remember that.” Shen Fei nodded in response.

After saying a few more words to him, Edward turned around and left. After he left, there was a deafening silence in the room.

Shen Fei went to the balcony and stood alone there as he looked down at the garden below.

Aloy stood behind Shen Fei. “…Shen Fei, I want to go with you.”

Shen Fei shook his head. “No, I can go by myself. You should stay here. I’ll be back soon.”

Aloy pouted. Although she was reluctant, she still nodded.

…

Early the next morning, Shen Fei headed to the Royal Trading District.

Just as he arrived at the Royal Trading District, Shen Fei was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The pedestrian traffic in the Royal Trading District was even more terrifying than he had imagined! As far as the eye could see, there was a bustling crowd all around, and the clamor of noises constantly filled his ears.

These people were basically the disciples and servants of the major families. They were all rushing to their respective destinations.

As for the ordinary people, they could not even squeeze in, so they could only look on from the perimeter of the district.

“This is the Royal Trading District… It’s a complicated place indeed!” Shen Fei sighed.

The Royal Trading District was actually located in a remote area, but was still close to the bustling Nord Street. As a result, the economy developed and the population grew quickly. It could be called a super-large commercial street.

However, the Royal Trading District was also the most chaotic place, because the big shots from all over the world were gathered there, and all kinds of rare treasures could be found here. In a place like this, if you wanted to seek protection, you had to pay a sufficient price to survive.

Shen Fei took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his chest.

The Royal Trading District was different from other places. There really were people from all walks of life in the country gathered here. It was a gathering of the strong; a brutal place where the good and the bad mixed together, and slaughter was rampant!

Shen Fei walked into the trading area and met quite a few people along the way. They were all the descendants and servants of the big shots from all over the world. Even the servants’ statuses were not low, but their strengths were not considered high.

After all, many of the patrons here were powerful. If they did not have a strong backer, they would not dare to even come here!

Suddenly, someone called out to Shen Fei, “Sir, please wait.”

Shen Fei looked to the source of the sound, only to see a young man slowly walking over to him.

The man was dressed in white and seemed to have a delicate and refined temperament. He looked like a fragile scholar and gave people a good impression.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Fei asked, puzzled.

The young man smiled and said, “Sir, you don’t seem to be carrying any treasures. Is this your first time here? You don’t seem very familiar with the Royal Trading District, am I right?”

“Oh? Could it be that you’re willing to give me some pointers?” Shen Fei said with a smile.

The young man humbly said, “Hehe, I can’t really say that I’m giving you guidance. It’s just that I happen to work in the Royal Trading District. Why don’t I make some introductions for you?”

“Oh?” Hearing this, Shen Fei was a little surprised. He did not expect to meet a staff member of the Royal Trading District so coincidentally.

After thinking about it, Shen Fei nodded and agreed, “Alright! Then I’ll respectfully accept your invitation!”

“Haha, please follow me, Sir.” After saying that, the young man led the way and brought Shen Fei to a pavilion in the Royal Trading District. Tea and cakes were already prepared on the stone bench of the pavilion.

“Please have a seat, Sir,” The young man said with a smile.

“Thank you.” After Shen Fei sat down, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. He praised, “Good tea.”

“Sir, you flatter me.” The young man smiled humbly.

After the two of them exchanged a few pleasantries, the young man finally cut to the chase and said, “I’m the Deacon of the Royal Trading District, Wang Hai. Sir, please tell me, do you have the intention to buy the flame crystal?”

Hearing the words “flame crystal,” Shen Fei’s pupils shrank. After a few seconds of silence, he slowly said, “I’m sorry, I don’t have any plans to buy any flame crystals.”

Flame crystal was a necessary material in forging weapons, and they were very expensive. He did not even know what a flame crystal looked like, let alone buy one!

At this, Wang Hai frowned slightly and said with slight disappointment, “Sigh… Sir, this is a material for forging divine weapons. It will be of great help to your future achievements.”
