The soul imprints of the five concubines, twelve guards, and two chefs were all engraved on the deed. Now that Du Feng had bought this house, controlling the deed was equivalent to controlling their lives.
He never thought that the level of differentiation in the Demonic Cultivator Country would be so severe. He originally thought that only human warriors would do this. Demon cultivators would only charge forward with those unintelligent demon beasts, Du Feng knew this a long time ago. However, he did not expect that they would also capture their own kind of demon cultivators and use them as slaves.
Whether it was in the Human Clan or the Demon Clan, the fate of women did not seem to be good. Many women were forced to become concubines of others because their backgrounds were not good enough, or because they were not strong enough. Now that he thought about it, that fellow Shangguan Yun was truly one of the best among women. He had devoured the Pill Emperor's property and even took over the Life Moon Alliance from Tang Kun's hands. Not only did she expand her power in the Eastern Continent, she even wanted to interfere in the Southern Continent, which was overseen by the Fist Emperor, and the Northern Continent, which was fighting with the Demon Emperor.
"Then this junior will take his leave first!"
Du Feng shook his head, trying his best not to think about that woman. Right now, he was only at the eighth level of the Heaven Seizing Realm in Cultivation, while Shangguan Yun had already broken through to the Ascendant Realm. There was still a huge gap between the two of them. What they needed to do now was to earn money and cultivate.
"Brother Darknorth, you finally came out."
Because after Du Feng bought the cultivation technique manual on the third floor, he also learned it, so it took him a long time. Xiao Junhao was waiting anxiously downstairs, thinking that something had happened. It wasn't easy for him to find a person like Du Feng who could cooperate with him. It would be a pity if something happened to him.
"Come, let's go take a look at the store first."
Xiao Junhao was in a hurry to bring Du Feng to his grocery store to take a look and talk about the commission.
"Alright, then we won't delay any further."
Du Feng agreed. He did not mention anything about buying a house, nor was he in a hurry to look at his new residence. He followed Xiao Junhao to his grocery store. Nearer to the center of the city, he finally saw his grocery store.
Frankly speaking, the shop wasn't big. Although it was located in the center of the city, it was blocked by many tall buildings. It wasn't considered a shop facing the street. It was slightly further inside. In this kind of location, it was fine to open a low-end and affordable grocery store. If it really sold high-end and impressive goods, no one would be willing to enter.
Although the grocery store was sandwiched between many tall buildings and occupied a very small area, it was still a small three-story building. The area of each floor wasn't big, but the three floors combined were enough. Previously, Xiao Junhao had used the lower floor for his business while he lived on the third floor. Later, when he had some money, he bought a bungalow and moved in. Right now, the third floor was still unused and was being used as a warehouse. After all, it was the center of the city, so it was quite a pity.
"I have some things here that you can sell on the third floor."
Du Feng had a lot of things on him. In the past, he had forged a bunch of low-level weapons for practice. There were also some medicinal pills that he didn't need that could be disposed of here. Because he entered the city as a demonic cultivator, he didn't need to pay extra taxes for his goods.
Therefore, as long as he sold goods under his name, he could save a lot of money. Of course, Du Feng wouldn't just take up someone else's third floor for free. He would definitely give Xiao Junhao some benefits.
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange for someone to clean it up."
Xiao Junhao happily agreed to Du Feng's conditions. Because he was selling goods under his name, he didn't need to pay extra taxes. A few shop assistants worked quite quickly and quickly cleaned up the third floor. After pouring it out, they neatly placed it on the shelves.
With a shake of his hand, Du Feng took out a bunch of weapons, defensive equipment, and medicinal pill bottles from his storage ring. According to the functional areas of the shelves, he filled them up without a single mistake. One look and you could tell that he was an expert in running a shop.
Uh … seeing that Du Feng was so familiar with doing business, Xiao Junhao's expression didn't look too good. Originally, he thought that Du Feng was new here and didn't know anything, so he needed to rely on him, a local acquaintance. But now, it seemed that with Du Feng's ability, he would soon use his fake demonic cultivator identity to do something big. At that time, he would probably leave him behind.
"Brother-in-law, why didn't you tell me that there's a new business?"
Just as Xiao Junhao was worrying about this, he heard a familiar business. His brother-in-law staggered up to the third floor. Previously, the third floor had been empty. Today, he suddenly saw a mess of things being carried out. He knew that something was up.
When he came up, he was shocked. It was clean and tidy, and the shelves were neatly filled with new products. Looks like brother-in-law is rich. I have to ask him for some money to spend.
"It's not my stuff, it's this Brother Beiming's stuff."
Xiao Junhao had a headache when he saw his brother-in-law, Niu Houde. If it wasn't for the other party's demonic cultivator identity, he wouldn't want to bother with this kind of lazy thing. But there was no other way. Without this relationship, he couldn't even rent a shop with a good location, let alone talk about running it.
"Oh, it's Boss Beiming, it's an honor to meet you!"
As soon as Niu Houde heard this, he came to Du Feng with a cheeky smile.
Du Feng naturally knew that the so-called Boss Beiming was referring to him. He thought to himself, I've just arrived in Tang Temple City today. But he still had to give face to Xiao Junhao, so he exchanged pleasantries with him. The aura of Dragons on his body was faintly discernible, and the demonic cultivator pass on his waist was inadvertently revealed.
"Brother-in-law, you won't ignore me now that you've found someone powerful, right?"
Although this demonic cultivator brother-in-law was lazy, he still liked to use his brain to take advantage of others. He understood at a glance that his brother-in-law had found a new demonic cultivator boss to cooperate with. In this way, he could avoid some taxes.
"How can I? You're my brother-in-law."
Xiao Junhao couldn't fall out with Niu Houde. After all, he was still renting his shop. Besides, his sister had married him, so he couldn't let his sister starve with him.
"I knew it. Since the third floor is rented to Boss Beiming, shouldn't we calculate the rent?"
Niu Houde changed the topic and actually wanted to collect rent from Du Feng. But Xiao Junhao rented the whole small building together, so he didn't need to pay rent for the third floor at all.
"Xiaoniu, what do you mean? Didn't I pay the rent for this shop?"
Xiao Junhao's face darkened slightly. This was simply extortion. He had already paid the rent. Now that the third floor was open, he actually came to ask for rent again. How shameless was he?
"You did pay, but he didn't. Besides, the third floor was idle before, so I didn't have the nerve to collect money from brother-in-law."
