Chapter 273 - 273 270 Witch's Temptation
Chapter 273: Chapter 270 Witch’s Temptation Chapter 273: Chapter 270 Witch’s Temptation The Demon Clan warrior leader saw him speak in this manner and found himself at a loss for words.
Although the mage from the Snake Demon Clan standing before him was quite powerful, and if he could be promoted to Magic Guide Master, he would hold a mid-to-upper echelon war power in Fiery Flame City, given Lord City Lord’s greedy nature, it wasn’t likely that he would be willing to show enough sincerity to sway a soon-to-be-promoted Magic Guide Master.
“May I enter the city now?”
Qin Feng asked coldly.
He felt that to minimize the risk of exposure, he should speak as little as possible and avoid any overly intimate contact with other members of the Demon Clan.
Therefore, he put on a demeanor of cold indifference, unfamiliar to strangers, reflecting the haughtiness of a mage to its utmost.
This way, ordinary members of the Demon Clan would also not get too close to him.
“Yes, yes, please come in.”
Several Demon Clan warriors quickly cleared the way, and even drove away a few common demons blocking the path, allowing Qin Feng to enter the city first.
…
Upon entering the city, Qin Feng walked slowly along the streets, taking in the sights and scenes around him.
Fiery Flame City was not too large, a city of seven or eight li in circumference with several crisscrossing streets.
The demons on the street were rushing about, few showing a leisurely demeanor, and the shops on either side of the streets were not many, mostly selling weapons, purchasing Demon Beast skins and furs, and the like.
Qin Feng wasn’t particularly interested in these shops, which were evidently not wealthy, so he didn’t bother going in for a look.
What he was truly interested in were places with abundant resources.
Unfortunately, although there were people in the Demon Clan who did business, very few could do it on a large scale, because the majority of the Demon Clan’s income would eventually flow into the City Lord Mansion of each city.
Qin Feng thought that perhaps he could find a suitable opportunity to make contact with the City Lord Mansion to see where they stored their treasures?
If the defenses were not too tight, he wouldn’t mind taking a trip to provide his Demon Refining Pot with a batch of treasures, which could be useful for later use or for nurturing Spiritual Beasts.
The Fire Ape’s injuries had healed several months ago, and it was now diligently accumulating cultivation, just waiting to reach a certain level before breaking through to the Demon Core Realm.
If he could acquire a batch of Fire Element Demon Crystal Stones, he could refine a large amount of pure Fire Spirit Energy for the Fire Ape to use for the promotion.
Walking along the street for a while, he noticed a tavern ahead with the smell of meat and a boisterous atmosphere coming from within.
Qin Feng thought for a moment and decided to sit down inside, to see if he could hear any information.
Apart from the City Lord Mansion, taverns were probably the most extensive source of information in this small city.
Many members of the Demon Clan were either hunting Demon Beasts during adventures in the wilderness or wandering about, fighting to enhance their strength for a higher status.
Of course, this was the treatment of the Upper Demon Clan, while the Lower Demon Clan was basically engaged in various arduous labors, mining for veins or planting food for the demons in the city, and they were unlikely to have many opportunities to be exposed to powerful Martial Skills.
If a demon felt that adventuring and fighting in the wilderness was too dangerous, or if they already possessed certain strength and didn’t want to take risks anymore, they could stay in the city to live, or choose to take shelter under local powers.
As long as there was no invasion by Demon Beasts, no attack from other Demon Clan’s territories, they could stay comfortably in the city.
The taverns were mostly frequented by the city’s Demon Clan warriors and wandering Demon Clan Warriors.
These warriors who came from afar often brought fresh news to the tavern.
And those warriors from within the city could also know quite a bit about the news passed down from the larger cities above through the City Lord Mansion, so these taverns were visited by many people every day, not only to drink and eat meat but also to brag and shoot the breeze, joining the fun and listening to all kinds of news.
When Qin Feng walked into the tavern with his magic wand, he didn’t attract much attention from the members of the Demon Clan.
Although mages were relatively few in number, they were only scarce in comparison to the vast numbers of Demon Clan warriors; in fact, mages were a common sight in every city.
After all, the Demon Clan was born with special physiques, like members of the Flame Demon Clan who could wield fire energy even without following the path of a mage due to their affinity with the fire element, so the likelihood of mages being born among them wasn’t low.
There were several others in the tavern who also draped themselves in mage robes.
Even though the demonic qi emanating from Qin Feng wasn’t weak, there were quite a few present who could match him, so naturally, he didn’t attract much interest.
Qin Feng cast a glance around and found a vacant corner to sit down in.
Before long, a witch with a voluptuous figure and revealing clothing approached him.
She did not belong to the Flame Demon Clan, as she had a pair of curved goat horns on her head, whereas the Flame Demon Clan might have horns, but not of that shape.
However, her appearance was quite pleasing to the eye and not as horrifying as the members of the Demon Clan Qin Feng had seen before, managing to somewhat fit the aesthetic standards of the Human Clan.
This woman was clearly favored by the dining demons of the tavern, for within just the short distance of a dozen steps, three Demon Clan men groped her, and the flirtatious comments of six or seven others followed.
However, Qin Feng just caught a glimpse of the woman’s bountiful chest that jiggled with her every step, nearly making him dizzy, and understood why the male demons, upon seeing the witch, acted like rutting orangutans.
Such a round and firm bosom was truly a rarity.
If he were one of those Demon Clan warriors, he too would be tempted to cop a feel of the curvy witch’s ample chest when she pushed it out in front.
Unfortunately, he was currently playing the part of an arrogant and aloof Demon Clan Mage, so naturally, he couldn’t make any ill-timed and presumptuous actions.
“Honorable Mage, what would you like to order?” the witch asked, evidently accustomed to the colorful variety of demons she dealt with in the tavern and thus unfazed by Qin Feng’s indifference.
“A glass of Blood Fruit Wine and a serving of roasted meat,” Qin Feng replied casually, tossing a demon crystal stone into the witch’s bosom.
He had thought she would catch the demon crystal stone, but to his surprise, she let it slip right into her tight clothing, gliding down her full bust.
Qin Feng’s mouth twitched.
What was that?
It seemed as if he was the one flirting with her.
The witch felt the warm power emanating from the fire element demon crystal stone against her skin and her eyes instantly narrowed, showing a sycophantic smile, “Of course, generous Mage, your order will be right up.”
With that, she naturally bent forward, offering a deeper view into her dress and leaned in close to Qin Feng’s ear, speaking in a seductive tone, “Mage, aside from Blood Fruit Wine and roasted meat, do you require any other services?”
Qin Feng understood; it seemed that the Demon Crystal Stone he had given just now far exceeded the price of a drink and grilled meat, and because of his earlier actions, the witch thought he had other intentions.
He merely glanced at the lump of flesh that was pressed against his shoulder and turned his eyes away, speaking indifferently, “No need, just hurry up and bring me the wine and grilled meat.”
Hearing this, the witch seemed somewhat disappointed.
She had thought that this Mage, too, would be interested in her body.
Given his earlier generosity, if she served him well, perhaps he would give her a few more high-grade Demon Crystal Stones afterward.
These Mages were much wealthier than those rough and uncouth Warriors.
Unfortunately, this was clearly a Mage whose heart was set on pursuing the truths of magic, completely ignoring her beautiful body.
The witch, carrying her regret, turned around to bring him his food.
In no time, she brought over a cup of blood-red wine and a large chunk of grilled meat, not forgetting to hint at him, “If you have any other requests, just come and find me?”
Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders, nonchalantly waved his hand, and made the witch feel quite helpless.
For a moment, she even doubted whether her charm was not as great as before.
However, as she passed by other members of the Demon Clan, seeing that they still looked at her with desire and teased her, her confidence was immediately restored.
If she wasn’t the problem, then surely it was that Mage.
Watching the witch’s sensual waist as she walked away, Qin Feng took off his mask and picked up the Blood Fruit Wine in front of him, trying a sip.
Hmm, if the sweet fishiness could be eliminated, it wasn’t bad to drink, and it even contained a trace of Fire Element energy, barely qualifying as Spiritual Wine.
However, the color red as blood was somewhat off-putting to him.
Glancing once more at the large piece of undercooked meat still oozing blood, Qin Feng instantly lost all appetite.
This thing, one look and you knew it probably didn’t taste very good.
Qin Feng didn’t want to treat his stomach poorly, so after hesitating for a while, he still didn’t grab that chunk of grilled meat to feast upon.
“Did you hear?
Those people from the Human Clan who crossed over are said to have been brought here by the Dark Flame Demon God.”
The words coming from not far away caused Qin Feng’s ears to perk up and he listened intently.
“What?
Impossible, why would the Dark Flame Demon God do such a thing?”
“Exactly, I heard that the territory of the Dark Flame Demon God was the first to be breached by those from the Human Clan, and even the Dark Flame Demon God himself was injured by those human powerhouses.
How could he have willingly brought those humans here?”
“Hehe, what do you know!”
A tall Demon Clan Warrior said proudly, “When I was in the Great Capital, I saw some warriors and Mages who had managed to escape from the territory of the Dark Flame Demon God.
They all said the same thing and it’s even been confirmed.
They say the Dark Flame Demon God originally planned to use the strength of those human powerhouses to defeat his old rival, the Dark Prison Demon God.
But unexpectedly, those greedy and cunning humans came in such numbers, bringing so many powerful fighters and legions capable of contending with the Demon Gods, and that dealt a big blow to the Demon Gods.”
“Your news is outdated.”
Another Demon Clan Warrior spoke disdainfully not far away, “It’s said that from the beginning, all of this was within the Dark Flame Demon God’s expectations.
He was using those from the Human Clan to eliminate all his rivals in order to take the position of the World Master.”
“`
“Ah, really?
I heard that the Dark Flame Demon God himself suffered serious injuries.”
“Must be a clever ruse they agreed upon in advance, otherwise why would the Dark Flame Demon God flee at the very beginning of the battle?”
“What, he fled as soon as the fight started?”
“To become the World Master, he would even do something like this, not caring if all the Demon Clan suffers slaughter, does he also want to exterminate all the Demon Gods?”
“Hmph, as long as he’s the only Demon God left in this world, he’ll definitely become the World Master.”
Various pieces of news reached Qin Feng’s ears.
However, most of them weren’t about the battle between the invading Human Clan and the Demon Clan but about the Dark Flame Demon God betraying the Demon Realm.
Qin Feng was certain that those pieces of news about the Dark Flame Demon God were spread by cultivators from different sects who had infiltrated the Demon Clan, otherwise, the details wouldn’t be so vivid.
But the Dark Flame Demon God’s level was too high—it wasn’t something he could concern himself with.
So, he focused his attention on the battles at the borderlands between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan, where some of the Demon Clan also mentioned the stance of the Fiery Flame City Lord.
From some Demon Clan Warriors’ conversations, it seemed that the Fiery Flame City Lord received a message from the Dark Nether Demon God and was considering ordering his Demon Army to reinforce the border.
That’s why the Fiery Flame City Lord had been incessantly recruiting troops recently.
However, the specific orders hadn’t been issued yet, so the Fiery Flame City Lord was merely recruiting warriors from various clans.
For now, they were just drilling their formations and had no plans to leave Flame City in the short term.
After listening for a while, Qin Feng heard plenty of true and false news, but the exact locations of the city’s treasure resources were never mentioned by any Demon Clan.
He shook his head.
Could it be that he really had to make a visit to the City Lord Mansion?
However, the City Lord Mansion would undoubtedly have many powerful Demon Clan experts.
If he went there and his identity was exposed, that could complicate things.
Plus, the Fiery Flame City Lord was not an ordinary character either.
To be able to secure the position of City Lord, he had to be at least as powerful as a Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator.
Qin Feng felt it best to keep himself away from the gaze of those strong figures as much as possible to avoid increasing the risk of exposure.
As for the treasures and resources of Fiery Flame City, if there were no surprises, they should all be stored in the treasure vault of the City Lord Mansion.
Just as Qin Feng was considering whether to sneak into the City Lord Mansion using the Shadow Transformation Divine Power at night or to quietly approach from underground using the Earth Escape Technique, suddenly a monstrous roar came from outside the tavern, followed by a loud thump, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.
Then, the tavern door burst open, and a squad of warriors clad in war armor walked in, allowing a view of the huge Demon Beast lying behind them on the ground.
“A Fierce Bear?”
The Demon Clan members in the tavern all showed shocked expressions upon recognizing the beast.
A team capable of hunting down such a formidable demon beast was undoubtedly a very powerful force of the Demon Clan.
Although they were few in number, to have hunted and brought back such a powerful beast, it was clear that this group of Demon Clan Warriors was not one to be trifiled with.
Qin Feng’s gaze scanned the room, and when his eyes landed on one figure in particular, his expression suddenly froze.
