The driver realized that he had said something wrong just now. He turned pale with fright and quickly closed his mouth. He smiled awkwardly and dared not speak anymore.
The car became quiet, Jiang Yixue's emotions finally calmed down, and the temperature inside the car returned to normal.
Nangong City is the largest city in the Nine Demon Realms. From afar, you can see a towering city wall that is thirty meters high and is built entirely of huge rocks.
The outer surface of the city wall is polished smooth and carved with neat patterns and designs, which adds a touch of beauty to the solemnity and majesty of the city.
On the towering city wall, there is a towering obelisk every few hundred meters.
The obelisk is carved with ancient and complex demon runes with strange shapes and mottled light and shadow, bringing a strong sense of mystery to this ancient and beautiful city.
Blue crystals are suspended on the top of the tower, and even in the daytime, you can still see them emitting a faint light.
Although she couldn't understand the magic symbols on the obelisk, Jiang Yixiu could feel that they were like alert demon warriors guarding this ancient city, and the shining blue magic crystals were their eyes.
The dark black iron city gate is integrated with the city wall. It is impossible to tell how it is installed on the city wall. It feels as tall and wide as the city wall.
When passing the city gate, Jiang Yixue saw a waist-thick wheel lever behind the city gate. This wheel lever was used to open and close the city gate, and it required at least dozens of strong men working together to push it.
Among the four lords, Nangong Wei is the best at doing business, has the strongest economic strength, and is also the leader of the Lords Alliance.
The main city under his jurisdiction also became the most economically developed city in the Nine Demon Realms.
The main street of Nangong City is lined with shops on both sides, with people coming and going, bustling and crowded. It is very lively and prosperous. The only thing that disappoints Jiang Yixiu is that the street is almost entirely filled with demons, and there are no humans or monsters.
Jiang Yixue was secretly surprised. She had lived in Mojiang City before. Although it was sometimes bustling due to the market, the number of people on the streets was only one-third of that in Nangong City.
If Nangong City is a first-tier big city, then Jiang Zhong’s main city, Mojiang City, can only be considered an ordinary second-tier city.
The driver said with a panicked look, "Where are you going in Nangong City? I'll take you there."
Jiang Yixue's smile looked tired: "I'm a little tired, I want to find a place to rest."
Huan Ji took Jiang Yixue's hand and said, "Sister Yixue, let's find a hotel to stay in first."
Nangong Yang used to be the city lord under Nangong Wei. He often came to Nangong City and was quite familiar with it.
"Please take us to Jindu Hotel."
Huan Ji also knew Jindu Hotel, which was the best hotel in Nangong City. It had more than 40 floors and was magnificent and splendid, looking like a palace.
She and her master Huanzun had been to Nangong City several times, but they rarely stayed in a hotel as good as Jindu Hotel.
The economic situation of Huanwu Demon Lord has always been difficult, so they all stay in small and medium-sized hotels.
Huan Ji was surprised and said, "That is a high-end hotel, the price is not low, should we stay there? I know some cheap hotels, and they are also very comfortable."
Nangong Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, you don't need to pay. Since you are here, you should live better, especially for your two sisters. General Ye has given me enough funds to stay here for a year. We are not short of money."
Huan Ji laughed and said, "Since it is Brother Ye who ordered me to do this, I can only respectfully obey your orders."
The driver took Nangong Yang and the other two to the Jindu Hotel. In the parking lot in front of the towering hotel, Nangong Yang took out two gold coins and handed them over.
He warned the driver with his eyes and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Remember what you promised us. Just pretend you've never seen us. Don't forget it. Otherwise, your neck will... Got it?"
The driver certainly understood what Nangong Yang meant, and carefully put the gold coins into his pocket. He smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut."
Jiang Yixue and her friends booked a suite that was like an apartment, with four rooms, and left one room for Ye Feng, although they didn't know when Ye Feng would come.
Seeing the prosperity and bustle of Nangong City, Jiang Yixue's mood improved a little: "I don't want to rest now. It's noon now. Let's go out for lunch, and then rest after lunch."
Huan Ji asked Nangong Yang: "Brother Nangong, you are familiar with this hotel, how is their restaurant?"
Nangong Yang made a contemptuous look: "Although the Golden Capital Hotel is a high-end hotel and the restaurant is also high-end, their food is all suitable for the taste of the demons, not Miss Jiang. So I don't recommend you to eat here. It's better to go to the food street south of the hotel. There are all kinds of food there, including delicacies of the demons and humans."
Jiang Yixue showed a look of gratitude: "Oh, thank you, Brother Nangong, for thinking of me. I want to eat something that humans can eat."
Huan Ji also laughed happily and said, "Haha, I also like to go to the food street. I am familiar with that place. Come on, I will lead the way."
Nangong Yang smiled faintly and said, "But I want to remind you that although the food there is suitable for humans, the environment there is quite chaotic, because there are often slave owners and slave traders who bring slaves to eat there, and the demons hate humans the most, and quarrels and fights are commonplace there."
Jiang Yixue said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? We have seen all kinds of situations. Are we afraid of fighting?"
Nangong Yang smiled and said, "We have fought against hundreds of thousands of demon armies, let alone some ruffians."
Going around the south side of the hotel, there are short houses on both sides of the road. Those houses look old and dilapidated, but there are more pedestrians on the street than on the main road.
There were men, women, young and old, bustling about, and you could see quite a few humans.
However, those humans all wore family symbols and mercenary badges. It was obvious that they were either slaves or mercenaries, and no human was free.
Nangong Yang found a restaurant that served human cuisine and led Jiang Yixue and Huan Ji in. Jiang Yixue used the illusion technique and looked like a demon.
There were all kinds of people in the restaurant, including demons and humans. When they saw Nangong Yang and the other two demons walk in, they thought there was nothing special about them and most people just glanced at them and ignored them.
However, there were a few people who caught Jiang Yixue's attention. They were none other than Rona, the team leader of the Iron Fist Mercenary Group.
She was having dinner with five people, which was normal, but the six people included three races: three demons, two humans, and one monster.
The demons ate at the same table with humans and monsters, which was quite eye-catching in the demon world. However, it was not surprising after everyone saw their Iron Fist mercenary badges.
