Ye Peitian was a little stunned. After living for a few days, he probably knew the trading situation in the world. This was the only lowest-level demon he could find. But the teenager in front of him always seemed to disagree with his use.
An old woman with white hair was dragging a dilapidated flat-bed truck with difficulty. She pushed it several times and it was moving forward along the road little by little.
Xiao Chai put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly. He suddenly reached out and pulled out a demon body from the piles of waste, and ran away while laughing, “Mother Wu, you can’t sell such a demon body for money anyway, so give it to me for free.”
Mother Wu knocked on the bamboo pole in her hand and wanted to swear. She only looked thin and old. She had no fighting ability.
In the golden age, the elderly and children were respected and cared for by society. In the wasteland era, these two weak groups had become the first to be abandoned. There were no elderly or children who could live alone.
The waste that was bundled together lost its center of gravity with her movement and slowly dumped to the side.
One arm was raised, and it firmly supported it.
Ye Peitian’s sleeves were pulled to his elbows, and his exposed arms were somewhat thin and pale. But he stood against the hill-like objects, which was unstable.
“Young man, help me drag it. Ah these old bones will soon be scattered into the soil.”
Mother Wu was very old, and had met many people. In the past two days, she has figured out the temper of the newly arrived young man. He looked cold, but he was very good and had great strength.
Sure enough, she saw that Ye Peitian was silent for a moment, and then took the rope of the trailer and pulled up the cart without a word. He walked deep into the alley where she lived.
When he arrived, he even took the initiative to unload the heavy goods and moved into the warehouse where Mother Wu’s waste products were piled up.
Mother Wu grabbed Ye Peitian, who was about to turn away, and stuffed a homemade potato cake in his hand.
“Thank you, young man. I’ll ask you to help next time.”
When Xiao Chai found Ye Peitian, he was standing on the side of the road looking at the golden potato cake in his hand.
“Wow, the old lady is so generous today.” Xiao Chai stepped towards and licked his lips while looking at the pancake with a little oily shine, “Hey, give half to me.”
In the main palace of Winter City.
City Lord Huan Shengjie stood up at once, “What are you saying? Are you sure it’s him?”
Standing opposite Huan Shengjie was a lame man with a prosthetic limb on his leg. He bent back and reverently replied, ” City lord, I couldn’t admit it wrong, I almost died in his hands. I remember the man’s way of manipulating the sand. After the war that day, I quietly left my summoned beast hidden under the ground.”
“Qiuzhi, come out,” he whispered to the empty place.
A huge rat-shaped summon beast exposed half of his from the ground.
“Master,” he said.
“Talk to the city lord about what you saw.”
“Yes, master. The man came out of the forest shortly afterwards, wearing a mask and a hat. He was strangely dressed, and slowly entered the winter city. Today, I found him again on Black Street. It seems that he has lived there for several days.”
Huan Shengjie paced around the house twice. “Ye Peitian, Ye Peitian, how could he be here with us.”
The lame man took a step forward from the shadows and said cautiously, “I once fought against this demon, and all the people died that time, but I survived. On the battlefield that day, I saw that the sand in the air felt wrong.”
Huan Shengjie sat down slowly, “I had thought from where did such a high-level sand-controlling saint come from. He didn’t show up, and gave us the magical crystal just like that. Did he fight in vain?”
“That’s because he’s Ye Peitian. How dare he appear in front of us?”
Huan Shengjie’s eyes rolled and he rubbed his hands, “If you say so, we must be on guard.
“City Lord, don’t you know Ye Peitian’s secret? This is a rare opportunity,” the man approached.
“You, you mean? How dare you be so brave? No, it’s a human demon Ye Peitian. We can’t provoke him.”
The lame man showed a greedy look and whispered, “His whole body is treasure. As long as you get a little blood, even serious injuries could be treated. If you get some parts, you can still use the human flesh and bones.”
