THE RISE OF THE DRAGON.

273. TREASURE TROVE.

UI YONG JIANG and Void stared in astonishment at the busy city, with carts coming in and out.

“Is this like a trading city?” Inevitably he asked when he saw how high the number of carts and carriages were going in and out.

The woman who was on the side shrugged, “I don't know, it's my first time here,”

UI YONG JIANG wanted to complain, but since he was stronger than her, he kept his mouth shut. Even he had never been to many places in the Qilin empire that was much smaller than the Eastern Continent.

The duo stepped into the city with the Void held tightly by UI YONG JIANG. Just looking around gave UI YONG JIANG a headache,

the number of things gleamed was overwhelming, he could actually feel the Void trembling with excitement.

“What's wrong with him?” The woman asked.

During their journey, he knew the two a little. But this was the first time he had seen a Void like this.

“That,” UI YONG JIANG used his eyes to point to a stall full of shiny items.

“That worthless garbage?” The woman asked with a confused look.

“Yes, she has a strange obsession with sparkling things. No matter how useless it is, because it sparkles, then he is fine with it,” explains UI YONG JIANG.

“That's a strange obsession,” the woman's comment.

“Treasure,” Void suddenly became excited, looking deeper into the city.

After saying this, one could see him more excited than before.

“Push!” UI YONG JIANG quickly tried to stop Void from speaking any further.

“There are treasures in this city,”

Unfortunately, the overzealous Void did not notice, all he saw were treasures he could feel in the city. He had even completely forgotten about the shiny things around him.

The woman who walked with them was surprised, ” A treasure? He can feel the treasure?”

‘Void, stop doing this! Even though he doesn't seem to have a bad plan for us right now,

what if he suddenly decides to kidnap you and you use it as a treasure finder tool?’ UI YONG JIANG chided.

He was furious at how careless Void was. There was still a chance that the woman had bad thoughts towards them,

now Void gives him a chance of greed to take over and gives him a reason to kill him.

Void would be fine since he would need it alive, but he on the other hand might be killed.

‘Sorry, it's just that I need this. Very important,’ Void apologized with head bowed.

‘Then why did you say it out loud? At least you can tell me so we can think of a plan,’ UI YONG JIANG asked.

‘We can't, we're too weak. But he could, given his bored appearance,

I think he will want the thrill of us stealing something,’ Void explained the reason behind his actions.

‘Maybe it works, but it's dangerous. Before doing anything like this again, at least try to let me know.

Void could still be said to be very young, so it was only natural that she was sometimes controlled by impulses.

“AIHHH, yes he can. But only treasures were useful to him. Since we share some elements, it is still good for me,” UI YONG JIANG replied with a somewhat frustrated expression.

“Wow! That's an amazing ability,” exclaimed the woman, “Hei, little boy, want to get the treasure?”

He turned to look at Void who had opened his black eyes wide enough that just looking at him made one feel like one would get lost in space.

He originally wanted to make a vegetarian woman to help steal the treasure, who knew he didn't even need to bring it?

Without blinking, he nodded continuously.

The woman laughed out loud, covering her mouth. He found the Void reaction very funny.

“Alright, you lead the way, we will follow,” said the woman.

“Wait, you plan to steal it?” UI YONG JIANG asked as if this was not what they expected.

“Yes, I'm bored. This can at least get me a little excited,” replied the woman.

UI YONG JIANG did a double assessment on the woman, making sure she was not a teenager pretending to be older just because she was strong.

“What's with that gaze, let's go,” the woman said.

UI YONG JIANG followed behind the woman in the lead, following Void's instructions, they immediately went deeper into the city.

Ernst City was at least five hundred square kilometers, and the woman told UI YONG JIANG that there were over three million people in the city.

This was not only the largest city UI YONG JIANG had ever visited but also the most densely populated.

Void happily showed the way to the woman, while Gray carefully observed the city.

Of the three, he was the only one who seemed to care about their safety.

Void and the woman were about the same, carefree and indifferent to things they thought were unimportant.

After nearly three hours of walking, they immediately reached the wealthy city district. Surprisingly, it had a wall around it, separating it from the rest of the city.

And the reason they knew that it was a rich district was because it was written boldly on top of the gate that led to it.

Just as they were about to enter, they were stopped by the guards at the gate.

UI YONG JIANG secretly began to pray for the safety of the guards. The woman he was with might lose when she started beating them, that was if she didn't kill them.

“Stop there, you cannot enter this district without permission,” the guard said.

UI YONG JIANG could not help but remember the guards he met when he went to Eagle’s City who also demanded something like this.

“We are travelers who want to use teleportation arrays,” he explained.

Teleportation arrays were kept safe as it generated good income for the city..

Not everyone was capable of using it, so anyone who said they wanted to use the array would naturally be fully charged.
