Chasing after her husband? Is it even possible to win him back?

He hadn't gone far from home toward the bustling, chaotic city center of the north when he encountered a little demon trying to take advantage of him.

"Young master, is this your first time visiting the imperial city of our demon race?"

Chu Xunfeng looked at the red-eyed boy with long ears blocking his way with a puzzled expression. "You... are you a rabbit?"

"Young master has excellent eyesight!" The rabbit demon boy's eyes were bright and his smile was radiant. This sudden but not awkward compliment surprised Chu Xunfeng.

"What kind of business do you run?" Chu Xunfeng raised an eyebrow.

"No investment required. I'll show you the way and introduce you to our demon race's imperial city. Prices are clearly marked, and I'll treat everyone fairly." The rabbit-eared boy chuckled. "For a low-grade spirit stone, you can hire me until dusk."

"You don't accept money?" Chu Xunfeng raised an eyebrow.

"We accept silver, but it's expensive; it costs one tael of silver."

"I only have silver for now, no spirit stones." Chu Xunfeng took out a small silver ingot from the brocade pouch at his waist and handed it to the rabbit-like boy. "What's your name?"

"Missing a tooth." The rabbit-like boy took the silver, scratched it twice with his fingernail to confirm its authenticity, and then carefully stuffed the silver ingot into his pocket to hide it. Noticing Chu Xunfeng's gaze, he shrank his neck and chuckled.

Chu Xunfeng noticed that the rabbit-like boy did indeed have a small corner missing from his front tooth.

"Okay, missing tooth, let me ask you, I'm looking for a place to buy and sell military supplies, repair books, and recruit soldiers, is there one?"

"Yes, definitely, but it depends on what quality you want, young master." Missing Tooth led the way, taking Chu Xunfeng further north of the city. "If it's a Three Profound Realm item, you'll have to try your luck at the auction house, but the auction house only accepts spirit stones."

"If it's just about starting at the fourth level, or even just learning how to recruit and train soldiers, then all the major merchant guilds have it, there are tons of them."

"What kind of young master would you like?" Miss Tooth turned to look at Chu Xunfeng.

"Starting from the fourth realm."

"Alright, then please follow me, young master."

Chapter 45, The Rabbit Demon with Missing Teeth

Missing Tooth led Chu Xunfeng through the city for quite a while, taking countless shortcuts, before the two stepped out of the alley and suddenly found themselves on an incredibly wide street.

“This is a bustling street in the imperial city. The amount of silver and spirit stones circulating here every day is countless. Young master, take a look at the signs across the street and see which one suits your taste. Go into that shop.” Missing Tooth said while watching Chu Xunfeng’s expression.

Having had to make a living since childhood, Queya is very good at reading people's expressions and feelings. Today's guest... is a bit special.

"Do these shops all have cultivation manuals?" Chu Xunfeng raised an eyebrow and looked down at Queya.

“Young master, how rare is it? Our demon race is different from the human race. Although demons have difficulty conceiving, they are born with the ability to sense and control demonic power. Low-level classics and techniques are as common as cabbage; every family has one or two.”

"I see," Chu Xunfeng nodded slightly, glanced at the signs across the street, and without carefully selecting one, walked straight into the shop in front of him.

Seeing that the employer had made a decision, the person with missing teeth quickly followed them inside.

"Welcome to Longxing Trading Company." Inside the shop, the plump shopkeeper greeted Chu Xunfeng with a smile when he saw a customer arrive. He glanced at the poorly dressed man with missing teeth, but didn't say anything more.

Do you have any manuals on spear techniques?

"Yes, of course we have them," the plump shopkeeper said with a smile. "However, our shop only has cultivation techniques for the first four stages for sale. If you want something better, you'll have to go to the Hundred Merchants Auction House."

"Take me to see it first."

"Alright, come with me." The chubby shopkeeper led Chu Xunfeng around several shelves and into the depths of the shop.

The portly shopkeeper approached the bookshelf, quickly rummaged through the books, and pulled out six thin books, saying, "Young master, these are the only six."

"Can I take a look first?"

"Hey, definitely. But this is just an introduction to the techniques. Take a look first, and if you like any of them, I'll get you a copy." The fat shopkeeper smiled and handed the thin book to Chu Xunfeng.

Chu Xunfeng casually flipped through the books, thinking that since they were just military manuals for beginners at the fourth level, he could just pick any one. As it turned out, he actually found one that suited his taste.

Overlord Spear.

Hmm, it's a pretty... simple yet powerful name...

Although the name is a bit strange, according to the description, the Overlord Spear is a technique that emphasizes only advancing and never retreating, and the spear moves with domineering force.

It could even be described as unorthodox or heretical.

"This one will do." Chu Xunfeng picked out the Overlord Spear and handed the rest back to the fat shopkeeper.

"Young master... this book, well, it's not really suitable for beginners. Would you like to take another look? Other shops have quite a few military manuals that I don't have here," the fat shopkeeper advised.

"No need, this is fine." Chu Xunfeng shook his head. He could guess the fat shopkeeper's concerns. This Overlord Spear only advances and never retreats, only attacks and never defends. If a novice soldier were to practice it, he would only end up dying.

Do they really consider offense as the best defense?

But Chu Xunfeng is different. He can make up for his weakness in defense with body cultivation and magic cultivation. As for the weapon cultivation system, he can really focus on offense.

Seeing that Chu Xunfeng was determined, the fat shopkeeper didn't try to persuade him any further and quickly found the original text of the Overlord Spear.

With cash on delivery, Chu Xunfeng purchased the Overlord Spear, a military manual for beginners at the fourth level of military cultivation, for fifty taels of silver.

"Young master, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should." After witnessing the whole thing, Miss Tooth suddenly spoke up after leaving the trading company with Chu Xunfeng.

"Speak." Chu Xunfeng put the military manual into the brocade pouch and turned to look at the rabbit demon who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

“He cheated you out of ten taels of silver.” Missing Tooth looked at Chu Xunfeng.

"Ten taels, less than I expected." Chu Xunfeng didn't mind. Anyway, it wasn't his own money. The silver was given to him by Ao Ning. There were still several hundred taels in the house in the villa that he could spend. He only brought a little bit with him this time.

Besides, it would be strange if he didn't get tricked; he had long been prepared for a human to suffer losses on the territory of the demon race.

He smacked his lips, missing a tooth.

"Never mind him, you also asked me for a tael of silver. Let's go, let's go to the next place and find a blacksmith shop."

Despite missing teeth, he had a thick skin. He didn't blush or skip a beat when Chu Xunfeng pointed it out; he just blinked.

"Young master, why are you looking for a blacksmith?" Although he had a vague idea, Miss Tooth just felt that something was not quite right.

"Fire a gun."

really……

Missing Tooth stood there thinking for a while, then said, "Young Master, how about this? You can just go to the blacksmith and have a gun made. It might not be very good. If you trust me, I can help you get a standard-issue gun from the city guards. What do you think?"

"You've got some connections..." Chu Xunfeng looked at Queya, feeling uneasy under his gaze. "But never mind, a regular spear won't meet my requirements; it has to be custom-made."

"You're in charge." The man with the missing tooth breathed a sigh of relief.

He revealed his connections to Chu Xunfeng just now, hoping to take a gamble. After all, he felt that Chu Xunfeng was different from the other humans he had met in the capital. He wanted to see if he could get in touch with this young master and test the waters.

As it turned out, this young man was unusually perceptive and made the missing tooth feel guilty.

This time, Queya didn't dare to have any ulterior motives and obediently took Chu Xunfeng to a weapons shop.

The demon race is born strong and can sense demonic energy to cultivate. However, in terms of skills, they are not as advanced as the human race. At least, this demon race's weapon shop cannot meet Chu Xunfeng's requirements.

A heavy and tough gun barrel.

Heavy materials require high-density metals, but if the metal is too dense, it won't be able to meet the training requirements of the Overlord Spear in terms of toughness.

However, this problem is not without a solution. While ordinary metals may not work, there are special metals that can be used.

However, he has no connections, and even if he did, he couldn't afford it.

Those special metals and high-quality materials can't be bought with silver; they have to be purchased with spirit stones, and in large quantities at that.

Chu Xunfeng had no choice but to settle for second best and first order a fire poker that was heavy enough.

After paying a deposit of ten taels of silver at the weapons shop, Chu Xunfeng had nothing else to do for the day.

"Next, I'll trouble you to show me around the city and introduce me to things. I'll treat you to a meal later."

"Alright, young master, may I ask your surname?"

"Chu, Chu Xunfeng."

"Alright, Young Master Chu, would you like to check out some entertainment first? Or would you like to grab something to eat?"

Let's find a place to eat first.

"Okay, please follow me this way."

Chapter 46, In attack and conquest, unparalleled under heaven.

Denglong Pavilion is the largest restaurant in the Demon Clan's imperial city.

As the name suggests, the dragon clan's industry produces seafood of unparalleled freshness in this world.

Although demons can cultivate simply by being demons, it is not easy for any demon to form a core and fly through the air.

If it were truly a demon, it would go and cultivate, and the Demon Kingdom would cease to exist as a nation, as production and daily life also require population.

A fish demon dressed in a beautiful dress brought over plates of seafood, making the man with missing teeth stare wide-eyed.

Chu Xunfeng simply called out to Queya and then started eating on his own.

He was missing a tooth, but he just looked at it without doing anything.

"Don't like seafood?" Chu Xunfeng looked at the rabbit demon. "Vegetarian?"

"No, I just..." Missing tooth was momentarily speechless.

"Say what you have to say," Chu Xunfeng said calmly.

The man with the missing tooth hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to keep my share and take it with me... Is that alright?"
