More than ten days passed by in a flash. Jiang Li glanced at the huge metal building in the distance through the car window.
Gengxin City is worthy of being the capital of metals. The city walls are all glowing with metallic luster. Even though they are far apart, you can vaguely smell a smell of rust and coke in the air.
This familiar scene and this familiar smell are still the same as they were more than ten years ago, as if time has never left any trace in this city made of steel.
As soon as they entered the city gate, the carriage was stopped by two spears.
"Stop, it costs one Gintama coin to enter the city."
"When will Gengxin City need to pay entry fees?"
The guard snorted coldly.
"Do you want to hand it over? If you don't hand it over, don't come in."
Looking at the guard's wild eyes, Jiang Li resisted the desire to take action. It was not worth it to cause a big fuss for a small person!
Taking a deep breath, he silently took out a golden soul coin from the soul guide and handed it over.
When the guard saw the golden soul coin, his eyes lit up instantly. He flicked it lightly and heard a clear and melodious sound in his ears.
"Change!"
The guard casually put the gold soul coin away with a nonchalant look on his face.
"What money do you want?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the carriage instantly became cold.
A mere ordinary guard standing guard, whose cultivation level was no higher than that of a great soul master, dared to openly blackmail him, and was so arrogant that he had no bottom line.
You know, no one would have dared to do this twelve years ago. You can imagine how much has changed in these years!
Jiang Li's fingertips were quietly clenched, and the fingers in her sleeves turned white.
Gu Rong just watched this scene with interest. He also wanted to know how Jiang Li would handle such a thing.
"Looking at your appearance, you are from out of town, right?" Another guard sneered, holding his spear carelessly, his tone was extremely mocking, "The new guy doesn't understand the rules?"
The two of them were arrogant and domineering, and they obviously did this kind of bullying.
Zhu'er lay on Jiang Li's shoulder, her eight thin legs suddenly tightened, her small body exuding a ferocious aura, and her compound eyes stared at the two guards outside the door, as if she was about to rush out and attack in the next second.
Jiang Li raised her hand and gently pressed Zhu'er down to calm her restless emotions. She lowered her eyes to hide the murderous intent surging in her eyes.
She knew better than to be impulsive now.
If she took action now, alerted Miles in the city, and if she was recognized on the spot, she would be in trouble.
"Make way."
Jiang Li spoke calmly, with no hint of emotion or anger in her voice, which was terrifyingly calm.
Seeing her surrender, the two guards became more and more proud and waved their hands to drive her away impatiently.
"Hmph, you're a smart kid! But, this was the price before. Now, I want ten gold soul coins."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Li's fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and a touch of blood appeared in her eyes.
At this moment, she couldn't even suppress the murderous aura she had accumulated for more than ten years.
"Ahem."
A cough came with a burst of spiritual power, Jiang Li's whole body was shaken up, and a touch of clarity appeared in his eyes. Only then did he react, and his murderous aura almost got out of control.
He took a deep breath and then looked at Gu Rong sitting opposite.
"Thank you."
"It doesn't matter." Gu Rong waved his hand and closed his eyes again.
"Hurry up, don't delay, otherwise it won't be the price."
Want money?
Great, then don't blame me.
Jiang Li's fingers moved slightly, and her fingertips silently passed over the golden soul coin taken out of the soul guide.
Just for a moment, a dark purple light appeared on the golden coin surface, and it disappeared in an instant.
