By midday, Taste of Freshness Inn was bustling with business, every table packed with customers. Among them were demons with bestial heads and those who had fully taken human form. Some crowded together at a table, drinking and eating meat in large mouthfuls, while others sat alone, slowly savoring a single plate of side dishes. Observing the lively scene, Gu Ning'an, seated in a corner, felt fortunate that after finishing his breakfast, he had ordered a pot of tea and remained in his seat. Otherwise,…-

Chapter 326: The Truth
Perhaps it was out of habit to tell the truth, or perhaps he believed that at this point, hiding anything was meaningless. After a long silence, the dark-skinned man finally lifted his head, meeting his wife's reddened eyes with a bitter smile. "Wife, we didn’t come here for nothing…" "Being able to get a job as a sweeper, not being treated too harshly upon arrival, and even receiving information about the Taste of Freshness Inn from Lord Mi’s mouth… None of this was because your husband is…-

“Expendable labor?” “Yes, sir. People like me, as well as the refugees and fugitives who come to Eternal Slumber City, are all considered expendable labor!” “In this city, different kinds of expendable labor serve different purposes, bringing various benefits to Eternal Slumber City. The only real difference is how long each type of laborer can survive…” Doubao’s voice was devoid of any emotion, as if he were merely stating an undeniable fact. Gu Ning'an wasn’t surprised by Doubao’s…

At the hour of the Dragon (7-9 AM) the next day, the scorching sun hung high in the sky, its dazzling and searing rays seemingly capable of igniting the entire desert. In Eternal Slumber City, the sand-covered streets shimmered with a golden hue under the intense sunlight, while rolling waves of heat filled every corner. If this were a city inhabited by humans, the streets would already be bustling with vendors and hurried pedestrians. However, in Eternal Slumber City, nearly all the shops remained…

Chapter 323: “Steamed Bun”
Night had fallen, yet Eternal Slumber City was ablaze with lights, as bright as daytime—perhaps no less luminous than the imperial capital of the Great Qian Dynasty. In the mortal world, oil lamps were quite expensive, and outside the heartland of the empire, few merchants or commoners would bother lighting up their doorsteps so brilliantly. In small counties like Lexiang County, most people would retire early at night. Even in summer, when villagers gathered to cool off, they would simply find a…-

"Of course, I read it clearly." The wandering swordsman cupped his hands and grinned. "I am a refugee from within Great Wu, forced to flee. Along the way, I couldn't stand watching corrupt officials abuse their power and bully the common folk, so I risked my life and cut down a dog of a county magistrate." "And now, as a wanted criminal of the Great Wu court, with no place to settle, I've come to Eternal Slumber City." "Innkeeper, what do you think? Am I qualified to work as a waiter? I have no other…

Eternal Slumber City, though located within Northern Huangtian and inhabited by demons, had a surprisingly large human population. According to that dark-skinned man, Eternal Slumber City was different from another ancient city in Northern Huangtian—Demon Capital. The demons here did not indiscriminately eat humans. As long as one could find a place of shelter, it was possible to survive in this city. Years ago, before Great Wu had fallen into chaos, most of the people who came to Northern Huangtian…

At the border of Northern Huangtian, a stark boundary was formed where the golden desert met lush green forests and grasslands. Standing on this dividing line, looking forward, one could see an endless expanse of golden sand. Under the scorching sun, the sand reflected a dazzling golden light, resembling a vast sea of gold. Looking back from the boundary, there was a dense, verdant forest. Towering trees shielded the land from the sun’s relentless heat, casting dappled shadows across the ground. Such…

Amid the misty drizzle over the wilderness, an ancient tavern loomed faintly through the curtain of rain. The tavern’s eaves curved upward, and raindrops drummed against them with a crisp, rhythmic sound, bringing a sense of tranquility. Inside the tavern, a few tables sat empty. The middle-aged tavern keeper, enjoying the quiet, lazily fanned himself as he reclined on a wooden lounge chair, dozing off to the sound of rain. Through the rain, two figures entered the tavern, one ahead of the other. The…

Staring at the plump, wriggling worms, the three nobles—who had been accustomed to the finest delicacies—felt an overwhelming wave of disgust. They had seen people eating tree bark and tree cores over the past two days. Since those were technically plants, they didn’t find them too repulsive. But eating worms? That was something else entirely. Perhaps noticing their hesitation, the one-eyed boy chuckled. "That’s normal. I couldn’t eat them at first either… But with injuries like yours, just…
